Chapter 1152 Bank Hijacking Case

“But these people are slandering us!”

"Isn't that normal? These newspapers have been slandering us mutants. As long as we are mutants, they will not stop slandering us. You should have known this a long time ago. Why are you angry?"

"I'm still angry even though I know!" Ororo knew that someone was framing them, but he was still very angry. Humans are not completely rational animals, so how could he not be angry?

"That's it. It's normal for everyone to have different standpoints, so there's no need to get angry. In fact, we've already made a good start. Did you see the pile of thank-you letters in Quicksilver's hand? They were all mailed to us, thanking us. Many ordinary people can still tell the difference."

"And this is only the first time we have done a good deed. Global TV has been broadcasting our heroic act of saving people as news. Take your time and don't pay attention to rumors. Also, some journalists' scandals will be exposed today."

"What scandal?"

"Those journalists who framed us will reveal some scandals of their own tonight, and tomorrow they will become notorious criminals that everyone will hate."

Jean knew that Charles had taken direct action. For a psychic, the only reason he could do such tricks around her was because Charles was too lazy to take care of it, but it didn't mean that Charles was powerless.

As long as Charles walks past these reporters, he can directly dig out the darkest part of their hearts, and then let Quicksilver take a camera to take pictures of the evidence.

The next day, the negative information about the six reporters was directly published in the Planet Daily. The photos were detailed, including scenes of these reporters holding erotic parties and taking drugs. The most outrageous thing was that one of the reporters was actually involved with minors, which immediately caused an uproar.

During this period, journalists were still synonymous with justice in the eyes of most ordinary people. After all, the Internet was not yet popular among ordinary people. Only large universities and the military had Internet equipment and access to it. Ordinary people basically only had channels for obtaining information through television and newspapers, and journalists' tricks had not yet been exposed to the spotlight.

However, the reporter who exposed the incident this time dealt a heavy blow to several well-known media outlets. Although these media outlets claimed at the first time that it was the reporter's personal behavior, it still had a significant impact on the newspapers.

There are no such good things in this world. Once something goes wrong, it is cut off at the speed of light. It is hard to believe for anyone.

This also serves as a reminder to people in the media industry: a huge catfish has already joined the industry, so they need to be careful in future reports, especially the major newspapers have solemnly declared to their reporters to behave themselves recently and pay attention when writing reports.

If a mistake happens once, the major newspapers can still say it is a personal moral issue of the reporter, but if there are more problems, people will just think that these newspapers are places where filth and corruption are hidden.

As a result, the number of reports in newspapers framing mutants has decreased significantly in recent times. After all, the strange behavior of the newspaper reporters who were exposed this time has made major newspapers nervous, and they have gradually realized that some mutants seem to have begun to actively respond to the rumors in the newspapers.

This is a competition between mutants and dark forces. No one looked down on mutants at the beginning, until everyone realized that big capital had joined the competition, and then they began to be cautious.

At the Goldman Sachs Bank in New York City, a group of crazy robbers not only robbed the bank, but also took two hostages, so that the large groups of New York City police were helpless for a while. The robbers were quite professional, and the angles were very limited, so that the snipers could not find any opportunities to snipe the robbers, and the hostage issue was even more difficult.

One hostage was black, and the other was a little white girl, both of whom were sensitive people. In those days, the story of someone being shot eight times and then committing suicide was not popular, so the police were in a lot of trouble and were helpless.

It's not that the robbers are hard to deal with, but the hostages are hard to rescue. If the hostages are killed or injured in the process of dealing with the robbers, the operation will be considered a failure.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be the mutants' turn to help in such matters. However, Charles secretly fostered a mutant to join the New York City Police Department. Even if he was only a small captain, he could at least give advice to the chief.

"Director, the current situation is not favorable to us. It is too difficult to rescue the hostages. Why don't we invite the Justice League to help? If they succeed, both sides will be happy. If they fail, our responsibility will be reduced. After all, mutants are a hot topic now, and the media will not focus on us. The pressure will be much less."

Yi was a mutant sent here by Charles, so of course he has to seek benefits for mutants. But the key issue now is that under normal circumstances, the commissioner of the New York Police Department would not believe in mutants at all. But if mutants can take the blame, the commissioner might be willing to do so.

After all, if this hostage situation is not handled properly, everyone will lose their bonuses. Not having any bonuses will be one thing, but they will also be scolded by a group of reporters. No matter who gets scolded, their blood pressure will rise.

"What you said makes sense, but how do we contact the Justice League? Honestly, the name of their organization is too exaggerated, like a child playing house..." The director was quite happy at the thought of being able to pass the blame, but he didn't know the contact information of the Justice League.

"The contact information is in the Daily Planet. I'll contact her now!" Eben's goal was achieved. Mutants now lack opportunities to show themselves, and doing more positive things will indeed help change people's impression of mutants. Even if it is just a show, there will be people who believe it, not to mention really doing good things.

Soon the Justice League received the news. Of course, this news was actually the result of Iben contacting the X Academy directly.

The helicopter landed directly on another street. This time there were still four people: Quicksilver, Scott, Storm and Jean. For safety, if the four of them worked together, they could basically deal with an army without any problem.

It took only 3 minutes to walk to the bank and start negotiating with the police. After all, this kind of thing requires at least authorization from the police.

"I can give you the authorization, but if you fail and cause casualties among the hostages, you will also need to bear certain responsibilities - of course, it is definitely not criminal responsibility, as New York State law does not support such responsibility, but you may have to bear the blame and compensation liability at that time. Are you sure?"

The commissioner of the New York Police Department is still magnanimous. Although he wants to find someone to take the blame, he has already made it clear in advance. After all, the commissioner himself also hopes to successfully rescue the hostages. Of course, it would be best if some of the responsibility could be reduced.
