Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 88 The Storm Is Brewing

Inside the White House, Ellis looked at the blue-skinned mutant in front of him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

As president, he naturally received certain privileges, and exchanged a century's worth of internal energy from Kingpin for almost the cost price.

Just like a car enthusiast who has just gotten his driver's license, he was eager to show off his skills. Unexpectedly, he got a lucky break and there was even a mutant assassination attempt.

"You started this, and I, the President of the United States, will launch an unrestricted counterattack against you based on the principle of self-defense."

After Ellis finished speaking, he frantically gestured to the guards beside him with his eyes, telling them to quickly take out their phones to film, as this was a great opportunity to show off.

The hypnotized nightwalker was completely unable to understand what the human opposite him was saying; he only knew that he had to follow orders to eliminate the other party.

But before the Nightcrawler could make a move, Ellis shouted, and his surging true energy shook the surrounding tabletops and shelves apart.

Ellis had no martial arts background and could only clumsily improve his physical fitness with his internal energy, but this was enough to deal with Nightwalkers, whose physical fitness was at most slightly better than that of ordinary people, apart from their mutant abilities.

In an instant, Ellis's body became a blur. Before the Nightcrawler could react, his right palm struck the man's chest with tremendous force, breaking several ribs and sending him flying backward, coughing up blood.

"Hmph, this palm strike is worth at least 20 billion in cash. Can you block it?" Ellis sneered.

Seeing the nightwalker a few meters away, the president wanted to press his advantage, but the other party then turned into a cloud of blue smoke and disappeared.

"Did you film the whole thing?" Ellis asked the Secret Service agent standing next to her.

"It happened too fast to be captured on camera, but the surveillance cameras inside the room should have recorded it all," the Secret Service guard said.

"Very good. Once you've copied the video, send it out immediately," Ellis nodded seriously.

Feeling the powerful inner energy surging through his body, and recalling Bai Ye's words, a sense of confidence filled Ellis's heart.

"My internal energy of a hundred years is already so powerful, while Bai Ye only has seven hundred years of internal energy. Once the price of internal energy comes down, relying on my secret stash, surpassing him will be just around the corner," Ellis thought to himself.

In fact, this idea wasn't just lingering in Ellis's mind.

As the creator of internal energy, Bai Ye's reputation has soared overnight, making him a veritable Newton of the new century. Naturally, many people want to climb over his fame to rise to power.

Many people are already preparing to challenge Bai Ye in the future after they obtain internal energy. In their opinion, Bai Ye is so powerful because he has internal energy. If everyone has internal energy, why can't they take his place?

If one can use internal force to defeat the creator of internal force in a fair and square manner, it will definitely be a great thing that brings both fame and fortune.

Soon, within minutes, a message went viral online: the righteous President of the United States used his inner strength to defeat the mutant demon, and there was video evidence to prove it!

As one of the most discussed topics globally, this headline instantly captured three hot issues.

Internal energy! Mutants! The President of the United States!

At this critical juncture when the nation is hotly debating internal strength, the video released by the White House quickly attracted global attention.

Upon learning of this news, the military base Stryker frowned slightly.

Looking at Charles, who was bound in front of him, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, although the assassination failed, we've successfully steered the conversation to mutants."

"Now it's your turn," Stryker said. "The brainwave amplifier will take a few more days to manufacture, so you can stay here and repent."

"Oh, and one more thing. While you were unconscious, all your students at the academy were arrested," Stryker said with a smile, looking at the furious Professor X before leaving with a satisfied expression.

But soon Stryker was dumbfounded.

Because the public opinion was completely different from what he had imagined. Everyone was discussing internal energy, while the fact that the mutants were trying to assassinate the president was being ignored. This public opinion was completely different from what he had expected!

Did he get the headline he wanted?

……

Inside the factory, Bai Ye, who was training, was drawn to a message on television.

"The president has been assassinated?" Bai Ye looked at the news broadcast on the TV across from him with a puzzled expression. Wasn't this happening a little too fast?

The plot of X-Men 1 wasn't even over yet, and the UN summit wasn't going to start for another few days, and then the second movie just barged in at the beginning?

"Was it my fault that the plot was changed?" Bai Ye pondered, as information about the X series began to replay in his mind.

"According to the plot, this is Stryker's plan; next, Professor X will be captured and the mutant academy will be attacked."

"But Magneto is lying low now because of what I said, and Professor X has no reason to be captured. Theoretically, Stryker wouldn't act so soon; there must be something I don't know."

"Think about what major events have happened these past few days. The UN summit? Or the upcoming Fantastic Four's ascent to the heavens? No, it must be my book signing event."

"But I specifically instructed Kim not to invite Stryker to the invitation list, right? Could it be because of the live stream? Did the live stream expose Professor X's whereabouts?"

Bai Ye pondered this, then forcefully broke free from the restraints of the training equipment, and with a light leap, used his spatial abilities to penetrate the tempered glass and arrive at the command room.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Smith, who was standing nearby, saw Bai Ye come out and immediately ordered the operators to shut down the equipment.

"I have something I need to investigate," Bai Ye said, taking the clothes Xiao Taoqi handed him while he was naked. He then took out his phone and dialed a number from his memory.

After a busy tone, a seductive voice came from the other end: "Bai, what's up with your call? Are you inviting me to stay the night?"

On the mutant island, Mystique lay on the sofa and spoke gently, her attitude completely different from when she first treated Bai Ye.

Listening to the seductive words on the other end of the phone, Bai Ye's lips twitched slightly. He believed that if he really agreed, he could sleep with the other person that very night.

However, Mystique was far too experienced, having slept with countless people over the years, so White Night had little interest in this Red Sea that had been developed by many people.

"Raven, did you see the news on TV about the president being assassinated by a mutant? The assassin was your son. Can you contact Professor X for me? I suspect something might have happened to him and the mutant academy," Bai Ye said, getting straight to the point.

"What did you say? My son?" Riven's expression changed slightly. "Wait for me a moment, I'll go contact Charles."
