American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 26 News from Washington
At this moment, inside the New York City Hall.

Because the crazy behavior of those mutants was stopped in time, this building, which symbolizes the face of New York, survived the disaster. The building only had some traces of damage, but overall it was not seriously damaged.

Moreover, the mayor of New York was not in the building at the time, which allowed him to escape danger.

After returning, he immediately dispatched police and military forces to enter the damaged area, claiming to save lives and heal the wounded, and publicized the rescue operation in the news.

This move quickly made him a household name in New York. Uninformed citizens regarded the mayor as the key to solving the problem, and with his "encouragement", they treated inquiries into mutants as politically correct behavior.

The mayor accepted the honor without hesitation and enjoyed the respect that came out of nowhere.

Until the dark-skinned director of SHIELD found him and brought him the latest news from Washington.

In the reception room, Nick Fury, with his arm wrapped in a thick plaster bandage, took a long breath and sat in a chair.

Opposite him was the smiling mayor of New York.

The mayor patted his chest and promised solemnly without waiting for Nick to speak:
"Chief Fury, rest assured. I have ordered the police to search for mutants throughout the city. Within a week, I will provide you with clues about those terrorists!"

Nick was drinking tea and almost choked on it when he bit his mouth like that.

He looked at the mayor of New York in front of him with a strange expression.

Others believe in the news, but as someone involved in the disaster, he naturally doesn't believe it. He knows the inside story of the matter very well!

However, he couldn't say anything. After all, Coulson claimed that the robots worth billions of dollars that were destroyed in the disaster were all destroyed in the fight against mutants.

Nick wiped the tea stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and the image of Kailus appeared in his mind.

He did not see Kaelus's great skills with his own eyes, but his keen intuition told him that the solution to the New York City disaster must be related to the mutant boy!

However, Nick has not told anyone about this yet. If Kailus is really extraordinary and comparable to a superhero, then in Nick's view of right and wrong, most of these superheroes prefer a peaceful life.

Therefore, Nick planned to secretly inquire about Kailus's news and find a chance to visit him!

"This... you really took a lot of trouble." At this moment, Nick laughed, but his smile was extremely forced and stiff.

But soon, he changed the subject.

"But...Mr. Mayor, you may have to put your plan on hold."

The mayor of New York was stunned. Before today, he was in a good mood and wanted to open a bottle of champagne in advance.

After all, he took the credit for resolving the disaster.

Saving New York City! What a feat! This will surely be a great achievement in his political career.

As a result... now he is not allowed to do it?

Nick ignored the mayor's confused mood and just put a document on the table. There was a White House pattern on it. He turned to the last page and there was the president's latest signature.

"You may not know yet, but Mr. President's latest decision is to build some special organizations to use superheroes to deal with super criminals."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has an Avengers plan. Originally, this plan only recruited human superheroes, but... Anyway, now we will also consider recruiting from mutants." "On the other hand, the moderates on the mutant side, Professor X and others, want to take young mutants as students and enroll them in the Mutant Academy for unified education and management. However, their requirements are more stringent..."

Nick briefly outlined some plans, but before he could finish, the mayor of New York, who couldn't help but be curious, interrupted:

"Wait a minute... Mr. Nick, are you saying that the policy regarding mutants has changed?"

Nick shrugged and admitted:

"Yes, Mayor. So, the procedures you issued regarding the questioning of mutants may have to be temporarily taken over by the National Guard in Washington."

The mayor of New York slammed the table and frowned. How could such an achievement that was right in front of him be thrown away?
Nick seemed to have anticipated the mayor's reaction and responded calmly:
"I know you want to help your citizens, but this is what the President wants..."

The expression on the New York mayor's face changed for a while, and then he turned around and left.

He didn't understand how those low-level mutants could be qualified to catch the President's eye.
Moreover, based on his understanding of the man in Washington, he is also a staunch supporter of the faction that rejects mutants!
In the morning, they were still "signaling" the mutants in New York City to fully cooperate with the police. How could they change their minds so quickly?
"Impossible! Mr. President must have been threatened! It must have been those mutants!" He snorted coldly.

Nick couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his stubbornness.

Any decent person could see that the mayor's insistence was probably just political propaganda for the next mayoral election.

Disappointed Nick couldn't help but think of the mutant boy who saved him from the shaking building. Kaelus's act of saving people without seeking fame or gain was more convincing than the sanctimonious mayor of New York in front of him.

"Mr. Mayor, the main reason for this incident may be attributed to the man in front of the President not long ago..."

The mayor of New York turned around and said in surprise:
"Who?"

When he turned around, the space in front of him suddenly fluctuated.

Then, a ball of magical sparks appeared out of nowhere, and then quickly dispersed, forming a circle like a teleportation array.

A figure in an orange robe emerged from the crowd, accompanied by a calm voice:

"it's me."

The mayor, who had a sneer on his face just now, turned around and saw this figure, his face turned pale in an instant.

How could he not recognize this figure?

The only supreme wizard on earth, who exists alongside the god-king Odin, lives deep in the New York Temple and has been secretly guarding the earth for countless years.

Master Ancient One!

However, the arrogant mayor did not turn pale because he was excited to see the famous wizard.

What puzzled him was why the Ancient One, who had lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, would appear in his small New York Mayor's Office Building at this time?
Could it be... because of the disaster that happened not long ago? Was it she who solved the disaster?

No... If she had solved it, she should have discussed the relevant matters with the President!

As the mayor of a tiny city like New York, when would he be qualified to meet the Sorcerer Supreme?
