Chapter 89 Taking the Initiative

Ten minutes later, Magneto arrived at the mutant island of Utopia upon hearing the news.

"How is it?" Eric asked anxiously when he saw Mystique.

"It's terrible. Charles hasn't replied, and we've lost contact with our informants at the Mutant Academy." Riven said, her face grim. "The situation really is as Bai said; something has gone wrong."

"White Night, do you know who did it?" Eric said into the phone.

After confirming his suspicions with Magneto, Bai Ye replied, "It was Stryker. Whether it was the assassination of the president or the attack on the mutant academy, it was him."

"Stryker? It's him again!" Magneto and Mystique both turned pale. They hadn't expected it to be him again. He was like a persistent ghost.

"What do you need me to do next?" Eric asked into the phone. "If you feel it conflicts with your plans, Charles and the others... I can abandon that."

Hearing Magneto say this, Bai Ye was also stunned. He really didn't expect Magneto to do this. It seems that he really has entrusted the great cause of reviving mutants to him.

"No need. As far as I know, Stryker has also developed a brainwave amplifier, intending to use Professor X's abilities to find and kill all mutants. If we continue to do nothing, what awaits us is genocide," Bai Ye said after reading the script.

On the other end of the phone, Magneto and Mystique looked at each other, both shocked and furious. If they hadn't known about this, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

"But you don't need to get involved in this. I'll handle it. Just wait for news." Bai Ye said, and slowly hung up the phone.

The next moment, he felt a strange spiritual force invading his brain and beginning to alter his perception.

Bai Ye instantly sensed the abnormality in his brain, but at this moment his mental strength was comparable to that of a million people, and even if Professor X went all out, he couldn't do anything to him.

However, just to be on the safe side, he flashed into the illusory space, leaving only a residual image in place.

Separated by two different timelines, Professor X's telepathic abilities naturally lost their effect on him, and the connection was severed.

Inside the military base, Stryker looked at Professor X, who had been injected with a hallucinogenic drug, and asked, "How's it going? Have you got him under control? Now, immediately manipulate his common sense and make him declare his opposition to mutants."

"...No...no," Professor X said intermittently, having lost consciousness.

"What? No?" Stryker's eyes widened. "How could he resist your psychic abilities?"

"He...he is..." Professor X struggled, but under the influence of the drug, he still managed to say, "...He's a mutant, that's his mutant ability."

Stryker: ...

Looking at Professor X, Stryker's face darkened completely; he never expected that Bai Ye was also a mutant.

"Protector of Mutants...Professor X has also been invited to the book signing event..."

In an instant, many things from before matched up in Stryker's mind, and Stryker's fists clenched tightly, feeling that he had been thoroughly tricked.

'Should I kill him immediately?' Stryker thought to himself, but quickly dismissed the idea: 'No, he's immune to mind control, and with his mobility, I might not be able to kill him.'

"Sentinel robots, but I only have five on hand, and they're still semi-finished products. Mass production hasn't started yet, so I have to wait a while longer."

"Anyway, he has no idea I was behind it, so he's safe for now. Once the brainwave amplifier is finished in a few days, I'll eliminate all the other mutants first, and then deal with him." Stryker thought to himself. What he needed right now was time.

But just as Stryker was about to decide to play it safe, inside the factory, Bai Ye, who had concealed himself in an alternate dimension, had a chilling look in his eyes: 'Professor X? No, it should be Stryker. What does he want to do to me?'

"Professor X knows my identity; my identity has been exposed." Bai Ye immediately realized this possibility, then put himself in Stryker's delusional perspective, and knew that trouble was likely to come one after another.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die any longer. Once this madman sets his sights on us, we're doomed. We have to take the initiative."

Thinking of all this, Bai Ye sighed softly.

Originally, he intended to gradually transfer worldly power to his own hands through normal means. Given another four to five months, he was confident that he could reach a peak in popularity, and at the same time, it wouldn't be a problem for his physical fitness to increase ten thousandfold.

It was noon. After checking the time, Bai Ye said to Smith and Xiao Taoqi, who were completely unaware of what was happening, "Let's close the factory for another day. I have something to take care of."

"Another holiday?" Little Rascal and Smith exclaimed in unison. They noticed that White Night had been quite busy lately, resulting in two consecutive days off.

"That's right, but for your safety, you'll need to hide for a while." Bai Ye said calmly, and the next moment the ethereal space opened, taking the two of them inside.

"We'll be shut down for a day. As long as you don't leave the factory on your own, you can do whatever you want," Bai Ye said slowly to the operators. As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and disappeared in the strong wind.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At that moment, in downtown New York City, even though it was noon, a series of loud bangs, like thunder, suddenly echoed in the sky, causing people to look up in confusion.

Inside the villa, Camilla looked at Bai Ye, who entered through the window, with surprise and asked, "Why are you back?"

"It's not safe here anymore, we need to move to another location." After saying that, Bai Ye directly put Camilla into the ethereal space.

"And then there's Gwen's family." Bai Ye was somewhat troubled, unsure how to handle the situation; he had just too many weaknesses.

As for Kingpin, Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry, because he didn't have much expectation of Kingpin's loyalty.

Don't be fooled by their subservient attitude towards you. Such people are cooperative when things are going well, but they turn on you when things are going badly.

Simply put, Kingpin, this mob boss, is an indecisive opportunist; he doesn't believe it.

"Forget it, let's take Gwen and the others with us. After we deal with Stryker, we can take over the human government as well, depending on the situation." Bai Ye thought to himself, and disappeared from the villa.

Three minutes later, without Rogue, Smith, Camilla, and Gwen's knowledge, White Night led them to the mutant island of "Utopia".

"I'll take action next. Keep an eye on them for me. These are my friends." Bai Ye waved his hand, releasing the people from the space, and looked at Magneto.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang followed, and Bai Ye disappeared from the spot, flying towards Lake Alcalí in Canada.

The entire journey is 4800 kilometers long, with an average speed of 1400 m/s and an estimated total time of 58 minutes.
