Chapter 83 The Illuminati, Professor X makes arrangements for his afterlife

Mutant school.

Not long after Richard learned that Trask Industries had developed the X-gene cure and would hold a press conference tomorrow morning, Professor X also learned about it.

Whether it was personal assets or official connections, Professor X was not as good as Tony.

But it was not difficult for him to know some inside information that ordinary people did not know in advance.

In any case, the Xavier family to which Professor X belonged was also a well-established wealthy family in the United States.

During World War II, the Xavier family was already an out-and-out wealthy family.

Although Professor X had no interest in doing business or entering politics, over the years, both the family wealth and the network of contacts had improved significantly.

After learning about the existence of the X-gene cure, Professor X immediately notified Phoenix and Cyclops and others.

X-Men underground base.

Meeting room.

Sitting at the front of the conference table, Professor X described the X-gene cure in detail and asked Phoenix and others for their opinions.

"The X gene is not a disease and does not need to be cured."

"Not only that, we must destroy the X gene cure from the source."

"Even if they let mutants choose whether to inject it at the beginning, the authorities will force all mutants to inject it sooner or later."

"Just like the original mutant restriction bill!"

After Professor X finished describing the effects of the X gene cure, Cyclops said without any hesitation.

As the current captain of the X-Men, he is the X-Men who has the most dealings with the authorities besides Professor X.

To put it simply, he not only understands the style of the US officials, but also knows how unscrupulous the US officials will be in order to achieve their goals.

Let's not talk about the distant past, just take the last time he and Professor X went to the headquarters of the Department of Mutant Affairs to meet Filippo Todd and Winston Lambert.

Not only was their meeting very unpleasant, but Tony and Lambert's attitudes almost made Professor X, who has always had a good temper, angry on the spot.

Even Professor X was almost angry enough to use his superpowers on the spot, not to mention Cyclops.

If Professor X hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to destroy the headquarters of the Department of Mutant Affairs with a laser beam immediately.

After Cyclops finished speaking, Storm's voice rang out.

"I agree with Scott's point of view. With the official style, it is only a matter of time before all mutants are forced to inject drugs."

"Instead of waiting until that time to stop them, it is better to stop them now."

"If we take action now, the initiative is on our side."

After Storm finished speaking, Phoenix and Wolverine also expressed their opinions.

As Cyclops' girlfriend, Phoenix certainly would not oppose Cyclops' point of view.

As Phoenix's dog, except that Phoenix was unwilling to break up with Cyclops, Wolverine agreed with all Phoenix's decisions.

In front of others, he is a cold Wolverine.

In front of Phoenix, he is more like a King Kong dog.

After listening to the opinions of Cyclops and the other four, Professor X was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he slowly said: "The birth of the X-gene cure potion may not be all bad. For those mutants with obvious mutation characteristics and weak strength, the X-gene cure potion can allow them to live the normal life they want. We cannot deprive them of their right to choose."

"However, we must also prevent the official from forcing every mutant to inject the cure potion."

"I will find out the source of the X-gene cure potion as soon as possible. After the investigation, I will decide whether to completely destroy the source or control the source."

Like Cyclops, Professor X is also very clear about the official style of the United States.

But he does not agree to completely destroy the X-gene cure potion.

As he said just now, for those mutants who want to be ordinary people again, the X-gene cure potion is their hope to restore normal life.

Warningly depriving others of their right to choose and hope is contrary to his insistence.

Although Professor X did not fully support his views, Cyclops was not surprised.

Or rather, he thought of it early.

At the same time.

The headquarters of the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Magneto also learned about the news of the X-gene cure potion.

Unlike Professor X, after Mystique introduced the information about the X-gene cure potion, he immediately issued an order to stop the Trask Industries press conference.

In Professor X's view, the X-gene cure potion is the hope for some mutants to return to normal life.

In Magneto's view, the X-gene cure potion is a weapon used to exterminate mutants.

Although the injection of the X-gene cure potion will not kill, it will only lose superpowers and become an ordinary person.

But from another perspective, this is killing mutants.

Since it is a weapon specifically used to exterminate mutants, of course, we must do everything possible to destroy the X-gene cure potion.

…

New York suburbs.

Silver Manor.

Unlike Professor X and Magneto, who both focused on the X-gene cure potion, Richard did not pay too much attention to the X-gene cure potion, but was concerned about when Phoenix would lose control.

That was Virgil's true demon form!

No one would dislike that their power was too strong!

Of course, Richard would not.

The restaurant on the first floor of the main building of the manor.

After having a morning exercise with the White Queen in the bedroom for nearly two hours, he and the White Queen came to the restaurant for lunch.

"I'll go to the mutant school later to pick up Clarice and bring her to the manor."

Richard said to the White Queen.

"Uh-huh."

After hearing what Richard said, Queen Bai quickly replied without showing any displeasure.

Although Richard wanted to bring other women back, she didn't think there was any problem with it.

In addition, she now needs other people to help share the pressure.

Richard said nothing more and concentrated on tasting the delicious Chinese lunch in front of him.

After moving from the White Queen's apartment to the manor, he hired several Chinese chefs at high prices.

Although there are no chefs from the eight major cuisines, these chefs are enough to meet his daily Chinese food needs.

After eating his lunch, Richard did not go to the mutant school immediately. Instead, he went to the study room and checked the Internet for information about Trasco Industries.

In the movie, it was not Trask Industries that developed the cure, but the Worthington Company.

After a brief search on the Internet, Richard discovered that the Trask Industries in this universe was still founded by Bolivar Trask.

Not only that, he also invented the Sentry robot.

The only difference is that the plot of the movie Days of Future Past does not take place in this universe.

Although only some public information can be found online, for Richard, having this public information is enough.

After browsing the information about Trask Industries, he immediately used teleportation.

School for mutants.

After arriving at the mutant school, he originally planned to tell Professor X and then take Clarice away.

However, Professor X did not think so.

"When did you know about the existence of the X-gene healing potion?"

Professor X asked about Richard.

"This morning."

Richard replied.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Professor X continued to ask.

"Do nothing for now."

"Whether the X-gene healing potion is invented or not, my principle of doing things remains the same, that is, I will not offend others unless they offend me."

"If anyone thinks that having the X-gene healing potion can defeat me, I will let them know how wrong this idea is."

"If you have nothing else to do, Professor, then I will go see Clarice first."

Richard said calmly.

After hearing his answer, Professor X quickly said:

"I have something to ask you."

"What's up?"

Richard looked at Professor X suspiciously.

"If anything happens to me, I want you to go see someone."

Professor X said with a solemn expression.

Meet someone?

After seeing the solemn expression on Professor X's face, Richard frowned slightly.

He didn't know if it was his own misunderstanding, but he always felt that the current Professor X seemed to be announcing his funeral arrangements in advance.

"Meeting whom?"

Richard continued to ask.

"I can't tell you the specific person yet."

"However, I have made arrangements. If something happens to me, someone will send you a letter."

"You'll know everything after you read the letter."

Professor X looked at Richard seriously and said slowly.

Although he didn't know who Professor X wanted to meet, the name of an organization immediately flashed in Richard's mind.

Illuminati!

Could it be that they really asked me to meet the Illuminati?

Richard cursed in his heart.

He knew exactly who the members of the Illuminati in the comics were.

But he is still not sure whether the Illuminati exists in this world.

The only thing he is sure of now is that even if the Illuminati exists in this world, Tony is not a member of the Illuminati.

Although the Tony in the comics is an official member of the Illuminati, the Tony in this universe is not as reliable as in the comics.

After thinking for a while, Richard said to Professor X:

"If someone really sends such a letter by then, I will go and see the mysterious person you mentioned, Professor."

Although he was not sure who Professor X wanted to meet by himself, he did not think there would be any problem with it and readily agreed.

Professor X looked at him with a pleased expression and nodded his thanks.

After leaving Professor X's office, Richard quickly found Clarice.

At this time, Clarice didn't know about the X-gene healing potion, and was chatting with a group of girls of the same age on the grass behind the school's main building.

After seeing Richard arriving, Clarice showed an unexpected expression at first.

Then, he trotted all the way up to him.

"Why are you here?"

"Did you come here specially to find me?"

Clarice asked immediately.

"I'm here to take you to the manor."

"I have just met the professor. Your classes at school are over."

"In other words, you graduated."

Richard replied.

"Did something happen outside?"

Although Clarice does not have a lot of life experience, she is not stupid and she quickly realizes that something is wrong.

"So be it."

"We will talk about the specific matter after we return to the manor."

"See if there is anything you need to take away. If not, I will take you back to the manor now."

Richard continued.

"There aren't many things I need to take away, but I need time to say goodbye to my friends in school."

Clarice said softly.

"No problem, I'll wait for you here. When you're done, just come find me here."

Richard replied.

"Yeah."

Clarice nodded and turned to walk towards the girls who had just chatted.

As for Richard, he sat down on a nearby bench and waited patiently.

Time passed by little by little.

More than ten minutes passed unknowingly.

Before Clarice came back, a young couple came to Richard.

Although he had never seen them before, Richard recognized them at a glance.

"Iceman" Bobby, and "Rakshasa" Little Naughty.

After coming to him, Iceman didn't know how to start, and looked at him awkwardly.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

After seeing the awkward expression on Iceman's face, Richard took the initiative to ask.

"That... Mr. Wesley, Bobby and I are both your crazy fans. We want to take a photo with you, is that okay?"

Before Iceman could speak, Little Naughty replied with anticipation.

Mr. Wesley?

After hearing the Iceman's address, Richard smiled and said, "I'm not much older than you, and I may even be younger than you. There's no need to call me Mr."

"As for taking a photo, of course there's no problem."

After saying that, he stood up.

Although Xiao Taoqi just said that they were all his fanatical fans, he could see that Bingren was probably not his fan.

Not to mention that Bingren was not excited at all now, and was a little resistant.

Just because of Bingren's gentle personality, Bingren was unlikely to be his fan.

Xiao Taoqi ignored Bingren, took out his mobile phone with a happy face, handed it to Bingren, and asked Bingren to take a photo of himself and Richard alone first.

After taking several photos of Richard alone, Xiao Taoqi asked Bingren to come over and take a few photos of the three of them.

After the group photo, Bingren immediately wanted to leave with Xiao Taoqi.

However, Little Rogue took out a notebook and pen from his bag and said to Richard, "Can you sign for me again?"

"Yes!"

Taking the notebook and pen from Little Rogue, Richard signed on the notebook and said, "You are Bobby and Little Rogue, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Wesley, do you know us?"

Little Rogue looked at Richard with surprise.

"Well, I also know your superpowers."

"I'll give you a little advice. The superpowers you have are much stronger than you think."

After signing on the notebook, Richard returned the notebook and pen to Little Rogue and said seriously.

Although it is not known whether Iceman and Little Rogue can develop their superpowers to the extent in the comics, even if they can't, it's good for them to have superpowers.

If the two of them are enemies, Richard will plunder their superpowers without saying a word.

Especially Iceman's superpowers!

Compared with other freezing abilities, Iceman's freezing superpowers have the potential to grow to Omega level.

"Poppy's superpowers are great, but mine are terrible."

"If I can, I'd rather not have superpowers."

Little Rogue turned to look at the Iceman next to him and said with a frown.

After hearing Little Rogue's answer, Richard knew that she would most likely choose to take the initiative to inject the X gene healing agent like in the movie and give up her superpowers.

From his point of view, Little Rogue's behavior was as stupid as it could be.

But he didn't intend to remind Little Rogue.

Let go of the complex of helping others and respect the fate of others!

After putting away the notebook, Little Rogue first thanked Richard, and then left with Iceman.

After seeing Little Rogue get Richard's autograph and take a photo successfully, other mutant students nearby also had the idea of ​​coming to Richard for a photo and autograph.

However, before they had time to do so, Clarice, dragging a suitcase, came to Richard.

When Clarice came back, Richard didn't hesitate at all and directly hugged Clarice's slender waist.

Teleportation!

In just a moment, he and Clarice disappeared from the mutant students' sight and returned from the mutant school to the Silver Manor.

To be precise, they returned to the reception room on the first floor of the manor.

Then, Clarice saw the White Queen wearing a white hip skirt that fully showed her sexy curves, and turned to look at Richard with a surprised look on her face.
