Chapter 21 X-Men Join, James Duke's Request!
Inside the apartment.

Lynn Hall sat on the sofa, watching the news reporting on the incident.

Besides the dead lead singer, seventy-nine people died, twenty-three of them from gunfire from the red jacket man.

The remaining 56 people died in the stampede.

After all, in a concert venue with tens of thousands of people, when everyone is running out in panic, a stampede is simply unavoidable.

As for the injured, there were thousands of them.

Watching the report on TV, Lynn Hall picked up his phone and called Sean.

As soon as the call was connected, Lin En asked, "What's the situation?"

On the other end of the phone.

Looking at the terrified band members, Sean walked aside and said, "Boss, Alice and I have interrogated the band members, and according to their confessions, the deceased had no grudges with anyone before his death."

"Furthermore, her background is very clean and simple. She has never even been to the police station. In addition, her agency has a simple background as well, so we can rule out the possibility of a vendetta!"

Hearing Sean's words, Lynn Hall said, "I shot that mutant. Sean, have the Intelligence Department monitor all gunshot wounded patients admitted to the hospital at all times."

"After being shot three times, even if he could teleport, it would be impossible for him to leave New York and go to another city for treatment."

“So, focus on those irregular black clinics!”

"understand!"

Hearing Lynn Hall's order, Sean nodded immediately.

As soon as the call was hung up, Coulson called.

"Lynn, we at S.H.I.E.L.D. have found some information."

Looking at the information in his hand, Coulson said, "Do you remember what I told you about the identity of the lead singer?"

"The Gesler family, one of the four great hunter families?"

In response to Coulson's question, Lynn Hall said, "You mean this is revenge from the vampires in the dark world or something else?"

"That's right!"

Nodding, Coulson closed the information in his hand and said, "Since the establishment of the four major hunter families, they have been hunting vampires, werewolves, demons and other creatures in the dark world."

"They once dealt a heavy blow to these forces. Now that the Gesler family's bloodline is dwindling, revenge will naturally follow."

"According to information from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s informants in the dark world, the Blood Clan has already offered a high bounty on the members of the four major families."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this time the case is about that mutant accepting the bounty!"

Hearing Coulson say this, Lynn Hall picked up the remote control and turned off the TV: "Are you trying to say that this time you want our New York FBI to cooperate with your SHIELD?"

"That's what Director Fury meant, and I also think it's a good opportunity."

"Heh, it seems like you really want to get me into S.H.I.E.L.D."

Seeing the psychiatrist coming out of her room, Lynn Hall gestured to her.

Then he continued: "Then let me see the strength of your SHIELD."

After hanging up the phone, Lynn Hall looked at the psychiatrist and asked, "Kelly, is Gwen okay?"

"It's okay, she's already asleep!"

Pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses, psychiatrist Kelly smiled and said, "She's a very strong girl. It might be because her father is the Commissioner of the New York Police Department and you work for the FBI."

"So even though she was a little scared, it wasn't a big deal. I prescribed her some medicine to help her sleep."

"Don't worry, she's stronger than you can imagine!" Lynn Hall nodded after hearing Kelly say that.

He extended his hand, looked at Kelly and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I also suggest you call her mother over to accompany her. The familiarity of family will give her a greater sense of security."

"A mother is someone who can never be replaced by anyone else. Besides, you'll be very busy investigating this matter!"

Hearing Kelly's implication, Lynn Hall nodded: "Aunt Helen is on her way here. I will also transfer your son to the FBI."

"It would be best if he were your subordinate. After all, given his status... and under your command, I believe his safety and future will be best guaranteed!"

"No problem, he's just a mutant who just reached adulthood and hasn't done anything wrong. I can still protect him!"

"Thank you!"

Dr. Kelly nodded to Lynn and turned to leave.

After seeing her off, Lynn Hall went to the bedroom.

At the same time, Xavier School for Gifted Students.

Watching on TV, the host was reporting in front of the camera about the mutants' terrorist attack on a concert in New York, causing heavy casualties.

Professor X sat in a wheelchair with a serious expression.

"Ordinary people have always been afraid of us mutants. This terrorist attack at the New York concert will probably once again put mutants at the center of public attention."

"This is extremely detrimental to the proposal we want to put forward in Congress regarding the peaceful coexistence of mutants and ordinary people."

Having said that, Professor X turned around in his wheelchair, looked at Jean Grey and Cyclops, and said, "Jean, Scott, this time you will represent the X-Men and assist the FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D. in investigating this matter."

"No matter what, we must change the image of us mutants in the public eye."

"I will ask my friends in the FBI to join us in this operation!"

Hearing Professor X's words, Jean Grey and Cyclops nodded.

The next morning, inside the FBI building in New York.

On the TV news, New York's newly elected mayor was holding a mourning event.

Countless citizens spontaneously came to New York Square to join in the mourning.

After listening to the new mayor's moment of silence for the deceased, he solemnly assured the media that he would definitely bring the murderer to justice.

James Duke turned off the TV, then tossed Lynn Hall a cigar and said, "See, the new mayor has put all the pressure on the FBI."

"Lin En, I don't care what method you use. I only have one request, and that is to completely resolve this matter within a week!"

"understand!"

Hearing the director's order, Lynn Hall nodded.

After finishing the business, James Duke continued with a smile: "This newly appointed mayor is also a member of our brotherhood, so naturally we have to help each other."

"I know this matter involves mutants, and S.H.I.E.L.D. must also be involved, which will put some constraints on you."

"But don't worry, I've already communicated with S.H.I.E.L.D. You'll be in charge of this operation."

"So Lynn, don't let me down!"

"Don't worry, Chief."

Listening to Duke's words, Lin En smiled and said, "Within a week, I will completely resolve this matter!"
