American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 267 The military is coming
2 p.m.

A Rolls-Royce luxury car stopped at the gate of Xavier's School for Gifted People.

Raven, Hank and other X-Men members heard that Jean was leaving school and came to see her off.

After all, Qin had been in the school for ten years and had extensive connections.

Even many mutant children gathered around Jean, crying and shouting, not wanting her to leave.

"Sister Qin, why are you leaving?"

"Can you please not leave?"

Parting is always sad.

Qin was also very reluctant to leave. She half squatted down and said to the children around her:
"Be good~ I'm just leaving school, I'm not never coming back, why are you crying?"

"I will take time to come back to school to visit you all in the future. You must remember to study hard and make good use of your abilities."

Riven came forward and said, "Be obedient, or Sister Qin won't bring you any gifts when she comes back." She helped push apart a group of children who were surrounding Qin.

With the help of Raven, Jean was finally able to break out of the encirclement of the children.

"I heard that you kicked Scott out. I don't know what happened between you, but I hope you can live happily ever after."

Riven looked sad, she had watched Jean grow up.

Now Qin has to leave school, just to fall in love with someone she has only known for more than a month.

Riven didn't know what Jean was thinking, but she always felt that this matter was unreliable.

However, since it was Jean's own decision, Riven couldn't forcibly stop her.

"Thank you for your blessing. I also hope that you can find your happiness soon." Jean gave Riven a hug.

In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, the window was lowered, revealing Karl's slightly impatient face.

"Hey, this isn't a farewell, is it necessary to make it so elaborate for a simple farewell ceremony?"

Seeing that Karl had urged her, Qin could only take one last look at everyone even though she was reluctant.

Raven, the Professor, Hank, Alex, Pietro, Ororo, Kurt, and Logan.

Qin wants to remember everyone's appearance and imprint it in her heart.

After all, there are too many uncertainties in the future of mutants. If we meet again in the future, we may not be able to see these old friends anymore.

"Goodbye, children!"

"and many more!"

Qin had just said goodbye to the children when Logan called her.

Logan was imprisoned in Stryker's secret base a month ago. After being rescued, he rested for more than half a month.

Therefore, he had many doubts about Qin's departure.

You know, he actually has some special feelings for Qin, but Qin already has a boyfriend, so he can only hide these feelings deep in his heart.

Now seeing that Qin was about to leave, Logan finally couldn't help but ask, "Qin, are you really going to leave with this man of unknown origin?"

Seeing that Logan was a little excited, Qin was worried that he would offend some petty guy.

So Qin quickly replied: "Thank you for your concern, Logan, maybe you rarely come into contact with Karl, but he is indeed a good person."

Logan was half-believing and half-doubting. The pretty face that appeared from the car window looked more like a playboy. How could he be a good person?
Seeing Logan's distrust, Qin patiently explained: "Karl is very good to me, everyone doesn't have to worry that I will be bullied."

"Okay, Logan, and my friends, I will come back to school often to visit you all. See you later!"

After saying that, Qin no longer hesitated and stepped into the back door of the Rolls-Royce with swift movements.

Carl, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly told the driver Azaser to start the car and leave.

Watching the Rolls-Royce luxury car disappear from sight, Logan turned to look at the professor in the wheelchair with a little disappointment.

"Charles, why did you agree to let Jean go?"

Seeing Logan's unfriendly tone, Charles felt nothing in his heart.

"That was Qin's own decision. I just didn't object. Everyone in the school is free, and I won't stop others from yearning for freedom."

In his prime, Logan had a handsome face with sharp angles.

But at this moment, hearing the professor's words from a moral high ground, he said with a dark face:
"Freedom? This thing can only fool naive fools. Tell me the truth about why Qin left school!"

"I don't believe that Qin would fall in love with someone else in just one month and run away with a strange man."

Hearing that there might be gossip, Riven, Hank and others nearby all pricked up their ears to listen.

But Charles didn't explain at first.

"Okay, take the kids back first, and we'll talk somewhere else."

Afterwards, everyone returned to the castle with the twenty or so children who came to see them off.

Ten minutes later, in the principal's office on the second floor of the castle.

All the X-Men gathered together, and everyone wanted to hear the secret behind Jean's leaving the school.

Logan couldn't wait to ask, "Charles, can you tell me now?"

Charles, sitting in a wheelchair, did not keep anyone in suspense and directly announced the news of the Mutant Registration Act, and also mentioned his two solutions.

"This afternoon, Jean provided me with important news regarding the future of mutants."

After listening to Charles' explanation.

The X-Men looked excited and expressed their opinions one after another.

Hank, who is highly intelligent, keenly realizes that the Mutant Registration Act is a conspiracy against mutants.

He said with a firm face: "We must not let this bill come out easily, otherwise humans will sooner or later, like a frog in boiling water, gradually propose more bills to restrict mutants."

After hearing what Hank said, the other X-Men also agreed.

Logan was even more angry: "Professor, you actually persuaded Qin to sell her body to gain the support of that Carl?"

Many X-Men also looked at the professor in surprise and confusion.

Charles quickly distanced himself from the matter.

"How could I do such a thing? Everything was done voluntarily by Qin."

Hearing this, Logan couldn't help but interrupt: "Voluntary? I think it was forced to volunteer?"

"I was wondering how could Qin break up so easily, and she was willing to leave the school where she had been for ten years just for a man."

"It turns out that it was all because of you bastard Charles!"

After hearing Logan's angry words, the other X-Men did not believe that the professor would be so shameless, but they still had some doubts.

Charles sighed in his heart and said calmly, "I admit that I may have played a role in fueling Qin's departure."

"But the main reason is that Qin's attitude is firm. At most, I just asked her to help me!"

Seeing Charles' sincere look.

Logan began to speak sarcastically: "Partial effect? Perhaps it is a key effect?"

After being chased and questioned by Logan for so long, Charles, who is usually gentle, was also a little angry.

"Do you think I don't want Qin to stay? You have to know that this is obviously Carl's request. If we stop Qin from leaving, we will be standing against Carl."

"Are any of you confident enough to fight against Carl? No one?"

Logan interrupted angrily again: "Next, are you going to say something high-sounding like it's for the greater good, for the future of mutants?" Charles said with a serious face: "Logan, you should have seen that tragic future, where mutants are almost extinct."

"If we don't work hard, this tragic mutant future may very well become reality!"

The atmosphere suddenly became very heavy.

But Logan refused to listen to Charles' explanation. He was so stubborn that he thought it was the professor who forced Qin away.

"Consider the overall situation? This sentence is bullshit, Charles, you are so unfamiliar now that it's disgusting!"

Charles didn't want to argue with Logan anymore. After all, Jean's matter was hard to explain.

"Instead of dwelling on the reasons why Jean left, why don't we think about how to prevent the Mutant Registration Act from being introduced."

Logan spread his hands and said, "There's nothing to think about. Haven't you already asked Jean to win the support of that man?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Charles with complicated eyes.

"What? You all think I did something wrong?"

Charles still insists he has done nothing wrong.

"Back then, I naively thought that we could live in peace with humans forever."

"But later, the Days of Future Past event clearly told me that I was wrong!"

"My naive ideas will only lead to the doom of mutants."

"I can now understand some of Eric's thoughts."

"Peace survives when it is sought through struggle, but it dies when it is sought through compromise!"

“Peace without sacrifice is a false peace.”

"After understanding this truth, I pondered for a long time, trying to find a way out for mutants."

"In the end, I think Carl's proposal is the right answer. Only by jumping out of the chessboard and leaving the earth can mutants move towards a bright future!"

Eric, who was called, was silent for a while, then said, "I agree with Charles' approach. If sacrificing just one woman can bring a bright future to mutants, it is definitely worth it."

Logan said with an unhappy face: "You old bastard, it's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist!"

"If it means sacrificing your daughter's happiness for a bright future for mutants, would you be willing to do that?"

Eric said seriously: “Of course I am willing. Karl is very powerful, and it is a good thing for my daughter to marry him.”

Logan was shocked by Eric's ruthlessness and was speechless for a moment.

"you"

Charles, who knew Eric best, said faintly, "If Karl really tricked your daughter away, you would probably go crazy and kill him!"

Eric smiled awkwardly. He was indeed just being stubborn.

In just over a month, everyone saw Karl's true character.

When he was in school, Carl would go to bars or nightclubs to pick up girls almost every day, and would often stay out all night.

When the X-Men were on a mission, Carl deliberately watched the show and did not put in any effort.

If his daughter Lorna was really kidnapped by a scum like Carl, Eric would probably go crazy.

Then, the office fell silent again.

A few minutes later.

Charles sighed and prepared to let everyone go back and rest. It would not be too late to discuss the issue of the Mutant Bill tomorrow.

But right now.

Charles' telepathy suddenly detected that more than thirty strangers with strong hostility were flying straight towards the school in an armed helicopter.

"Attention, it seems that someone from the military is coming. Let's go out and take a look."

Charles warned, and asked Hank to help him push himself out of the principal's office.

The other X-Men were confused, but they instinctively followed the professor out of the office.

"huhuhuhu"

Two armed transport helicopters landed on the back garden lawn of Hanging Neck Manor.

Watching the fully armed soldiers walking out of the helicopter, Hank's face was solemn: "Everyone be careful, I'm afraid the military has bad intentions this time."

Eric added with a serious expression: "Indeed, I also found that the pistols on the waists of these soldiers are made of plastic."

"Apparently the military created this special pistol specifically targeting my abilities."

At this time, an old general with gray beard, still in military uniform and full of energy, walked in front of the crowd, surrounded by soldiers.

"Hello, General. I am the principal of this school, Charles Xavier. What is the purpose of your visit?"

Charles, representing Xavier's School for Gifted Children, first greeted politely, then began to ask the general vigilantly about his purpose.

In fact, this old man is one of the top officials of the U.S. Department of Defense in the Pentagon, Lieutenant General Rad Torres.

At this time, Lieutenant General Rad took out a top-secret document from the pocket of his military uniform and handed it to the professor for them to circulate.

"Hello, Principal Charles, I am Lieutenant General Rad Torres."

"I was ordered to lead a team to visit your school on this emergency mission in order to implement the Mutant Registration Act. I hope you can understand my work and cooperate with me."

Hearing what General Rad said, the X-Men were surprised and couldn't help but start whispering to each other.

"The Mutant Registration Act was introduced today?"

"The military has come to the school. It seems they are determined to do what they want."

Charles was stunned for half a minute before he reacted and asked, "When was the Mutant Registration Act introduced? Why don't we know about it?"

Old General Rader kindly explained, "It will be at 16: this afternoon at the United Nations meeting."

"Representatives from 187 countries passed the Mutant Registration Act with more than two-thirds of the votes in favor."

Charles' face turned grim after hearing this. He thought there was still time for everyone to slowly discuss how to deal with this bill.

But I didn't expect the military to show up so quickly.

At this time, General Rad asked with a blank expression and a businesslike attitude:

"Principal Charles, how many teachers and students are there in your school? I need an accurate number to ensure that all mutants are registered."

Charles hesitated for a moment, but still gave a number.

Seeing this, General Rad nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

Twenty soldiers and five civilian staff went to the castle to register the detailed information of all teachers and students.

Seeing these military personnel, Eric recalled that his wife died at the hands of these official soldiers.

Thinking of this, his heart was in turmoil and he wished he could kill this special forces team immediately.

"Huhu. Huh."

After taking several deep breaths, Eric finally controlled the demon in his heart.

I am a father of a daughter and I cannot act recklessly anymore.

Otherwise, his daughter would be implicated and something might happen to her. Eric couldn't even imagine the consequences.
