Chapter 30 The Hunt Begins (Please Read)

Class A wanted order?

After hearing what Cyclops said, Professor X immediately frowned.

"The Los Angeles branch issued a Class A wanted order a few days ago. Why didn't they notify us immediately?"

"According to the agreement, after the Class A wanted order is issued, they should contact us as soon as possible and seek our opinions."

Professor X asked Cyclops.

Although he failed to prevent the issuance of the Mutant Restriction Act, he did not do nothing as rumored.

The Department of Mutant Affairs and the X-Men have a non-disclosure agreement.

The content of the agreement is not complicated, with only a few items.

One of them is that after the Department of Mutant Affairs issues a Class A wanted order, it must notify the X-Men immediately and ask the X-Men if they want to join in the arrest.

If the X-Men join in the arrest, the captured mutants will be handed over to the X-Men first, and the X-Men will confirm whether it is necessary to send them to a mutant prison.

If the wanted mutant has the possibility to change his ways, it is up to the X-Men to convince him to change his ways.

The reason why Professor X added this content to the agreement is very simple.

Limit the power of the Ministry of Mutant Affairs, and preserve the strength of the mutant community.

A-level wanted orders are second only to S-level wanted orders.

Regardless of the reason why the wanted mutant is listed on the A-level wanted order, one thing can be explained, that is, the wanted mutant is the elite of the mutant community.

To put it bluntly, ordinary mutants are not even qualified to be on the A-level wanted list.

Cyclops sighed helplessly and said slowly:

"Not only the Los Angeles branch, but also other branches of the Department of Mutant Affairs are not fulfilling their obligations in the agreement."

"Only after they are discovered by us, they will reluctantly send the information on the wanted target."

Although Professor X has the strongest telepathic ability, he sometimes still overestimates human nature.

No organization likes to have other people meddling in its internal affairs!

The X-Men don't like U.S. officials to interfere in internal affairs, and the Department of Mutant Affairs also doesn't like the X-Men to interfere in arrest missions.

Even if there is an agreement, if you don't like it, you just don't like it.

"How long has this been going on?"

Professor X asked with a frown.

"This has been the case from the time the agreement was signed to now."

Cyclops replied quickly.

Has it always been like this?

Professor X's expression became more and more ugly.

"Why haven't you told me all this time? I can go to the Minister of Mutant Affairs and ask him to strictly follow the agreement."

Professor X continued.

"Professor, it's not that we don't want to, but..."

Cyclops stopped and did not say the next words.

"But what?"

"Scott, I don't want to use telepathy on you."

Professor X frowned and said.

Hearing Professor X's words, Cyclops clenched his fists unconsciously.

After looking at Professor X for a few seconds, he said:

"Professor, do you know how the outside world evaluates us after the Mutant Restriction Act was implemented?"

"People now say that the X-Men are the dogs of the officialdom and will only beg for mercy from the officialdom and deal with their own people."

"Even the school is now said to be a dog training base, responsible for training mutants into official dogs."

Normally, Cyclops would never tell Professor X this.

Although he didn't quite understand why Professor X didn't strongly oppose the implementation of the Mutant Restriction Act, he chose to believe Professor X.

However, as time passed, he began to doubt his original choice.

He does not deny that Professor X is a good person, a good person who has dedicated his life and everything to the mutant community.

But the fact now is that after the implementation of the Mutant Restriction Act, the discrimination faced by mutants has not only not decreased, but has become more serious.

In other words, the emergence of the Mutant Restriction Act has turned all mutants into inferior beings.

"Scott, do you also think that I made a mistake back then and should not have agreed to the implementation of the bill?"

Professor X looked at Cyclops and asked seriously.

"I don't know, I really don't know."

"All I know now is that the discrimination faced by mutants has become more serious, the reputation of the X-Men has deteriorated, and there are fewer and fewer students in the school."

"I also know that after seeing the video of Richard killing the agents and special forces members of the Los Angeles branch and the live broadcast now, I don't think he is heinous, and I even feel a little sympathetic to him."

"Before coming to the office, I briefly checked the information about their father and son in the database."

"The father and son did nothing bad except not registering in accordance with the law."

"Not only that, Roy Wesley is also a well-known philanthropist in Los Angeles."

"He has done a lot of good things in Los Angeles, established charity funds to help disadvantaged groups, and is often enthusiastic about charity and donations."

"Even after he established the 'Crimson Manor', he did not let the people of the 'Crimson Manor' do any extreme and vicious things. He just silently took the mutants in need of help into the manor and took care of them."

"Although his son Richard Wesley is a second-generation rich man, he is not as debauched as other second-generation rich people. He doesn't even have a sports car to his name, only an ordinary Ford car."

"What's the result?"

"Roy Wesley was arrested, Richard Wesley was wanted, and all assets in the names of their father and son were seized and frozen."

"Are the two fathers and sons involved in drug trafficking? Or in human trafficking? Or are they secretly supporting terrorists?"

"No, nothing. They just want to live an ordinary life and help people in need."

"To be honest, if it were me, Richard Wesley, I would probably go even further than him now."

Professor X did not expect that Cyclops, who had always been so steady, would become so excited now.

In addition, he also heard from Cyclops's words his strong dissatisfaction with the Mutant Restriction Act.

In other words, strong dissatisfaction with the status quo.

After a few seconds of silence, Professor X said to Cyclops:

"Go and notify Qin, Logan, and Ororo. You guys will go to Los Angeles immediately and bring back Richard and Victor."

"If people from the Ministry of Mutant Affairs stop you, tell them that this is my decision, Charles Xavier."

"If they are dissatisfied, let their minister come to me personally."

Cyclops was stunned for a moment and looked at Professor X with surprise.

He thought that after he said such words, Professor X would tell him some great truths.

For example, the necessity of mutant registration, the existence of the Department of Mutant Affairs is to allow mutants and humans to coexist peacefully, etc.

Unexpectedly, Professor

"Professor, I..."

Cyclops didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we bring him back."

Professor X looked at Cyclops with a kind face, as if he didn't care about what he just said.

"Okay, I'm going to inform Qin and the others now."

Cyclops nodded towards Professor X, turned and left the office.

…

The headquarters of the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Magneto's office.

"This little guy is quite interesting. Judging from his appearance, he won't leave unless he kills everyone tonight."

"Riven, take a few people there and ask them if they are interested in joining the Brotherhood of Mutants."

Magneto watched the live broadcast on TV and said to Mystique sitting next to him.

After hearing Magneto's words, Mystique immediately replied: "He will not join the Brotherhood of Mutants."

"Have you met him before?"

Magneto looked at Mystique in confusion.

"I think I've met him before. His name is Richard Wesley, and he is the son of Roy Wesley."

Mystique said slowly.

Roy Wesley?

Magneto recalled it for a moment, his original expression appeared on his face, and he said with a smile:

"It's better to take someone there. Two months ago, he wouldn't have thought that he would awaken his superpowers, let alone that he would transform from a rich second generation with no worries about food and drink to a Class A wanted criminal."

"Also, please tell him something for me. As long as he joins the Brotherhood of Mutants, I will help him get back the property of the Wesley family with interest."

Mystique stood up and said slowly: "I can take someone there, but I can't guarantee that I can bring him back."

"A mutant who can destroy three sentry robots cannot be forcibly brought back unless you do it yourself."

After saying that, without waiting for Magneto to answer, Mystique left the office.

…

Los Angeles branch.

What Richard doesn't know now is that both Professor X and Magneto plan to send people to take him away.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't particularly care.

He only cares about one thing now, and that is whether there will be 11 mutant agents coming back.

He still needs to kill 11 mutant agents to complete the system's tasks. He doesn't want to have to go around looking for and hunting mutant agents in the next two days.

When the entire Los Angeles branch was surrounded by Los Angeles police and special forces, he finally saw the mutant agents who came back.

After seeing these mutant agents, he immediately started counting them.

1, 2, 3... 12, 13, 14!

14 mutant agents!

After seeing that there were 14 mutant agents who had returned, Richard showed a satisfied expression.

If it were other mutants, after seeing these 14 mutant agents, they might be nervous and even start to consider escaping.

But he won't.

Because for him, the arrival of these 14 mutant agents not only means that he can get Vergil's phantom sword tonight, but it also means that he can plunder good super powers in the future.

Under the gaze of everyone, he stood up from the "throne" made of the remains of the sentry robot, and pulled out the authentic sword stuck on the ground.

After dancing a knife flower casually, he muttered silently in his heart.

"The hunt... begins!"
