"Hmm? Then what? What can I do for you?"
"We need your help, Professor." Moria repeated, gritting her teeth.
Charles placed the tea on the table and pushed it aside.
"I know you are here to ask me for help. It's not hard to guess. Otherwise, how could the famous CIA find a young professor like me who has no power and influence?"
"But I think you all understand the most basic principle. If you ask for help, you have to give something, right? I'm not one of your employees. You just call me and I'll come running over."
Charles' mild sarcasm immediately choked Moria.
This, this is completely different from the information given by my superiors!
The information Moria read about Charles clearly stated that he was an intellectual with a soft character and was somewhat cowardly.
She also carefully put on makeup and dressed up based on the appearance of Charles' former date.
According to the original plan, she was supposed to easily control the opponent.
And now, she had a mouthful of sand here and still didn't get any benefit.
"In fact, I really want to help, but I have something else to do here, so I really can't help you." Charles added.
Moria thought about what she had just seen when she came in from the door. The school buildings were still under construction, and there were only a few dozen students and teachers. He must be kidding, there were other things to do.
I'm afraid I'll just sit there with a newspaper and a cup of tea until two o'clock in the afternoon and then go home to rest.
Seeing Charles's willingness to provide all kinds of help except practical help, Moria understood that it would be difficult to win him over if she didn't give him some benefits.
"What do you want?" Moria asked.
A smile of accomplishment finally appeared on Charles' face.
He crossed his fingers and put his handsome face in front of the other person.
"You can't give me what I want. I don't want to negotiate with your superiors Stryker and Director McCone. They are full of arrogance and prejudice towards mutants."
Charles mentioned several names, suggesting that Moria knew much more than she thought.
"I want to negotiate with Oliver. I know that his department's mission is to investigate the application of supernatural powers in the field of military defense. However, it seems that he has been sitting on the bench for so many years. He will agree to my terms."
Moria's pupils contracted unnaturally, and she suddenly felt that she had made a huge omission in intelligence.
These are all internal information of the CIA. How did the professor who teaches at this university know them?
Charles looked proudly at the female agent in front of him, who seemed frightened by the information he revealed.
"It turns out that it feels so good to be in control of the situation. Luo Xi is right. This is how we should deal with these government officials."
If I were foolish enough to agree to it right away, I would probably be led by the nose by these people. They clearly came to me for help, but now they want me to prove that my ability is worthy of their requirements.
Charles seemed to suddenly come to his senses and easily controlled the beautiful female agent in his hands.
"I will report your request to my superiors. I do not have the authority to agree to your request." Moria was straightforward. Charles had said this, and there was nothing else for her to try.
The female agent turned and left, apparently going back to the CIA to report to her superiors.
Luo Xi walked out from another room, looked at Charles' smug look, and immediately joked.
"How is it? The method I taught you is useful, isn't it? I know how to deal with these bureaucrats very well."
"We need to lure them and disrupt their rhythm so that we can protect our own interests."
Strictly speaking, Roche learned all these skills from Guilliman when he was in Macragge.
Roboute Guilliman is the Primarch who is most proficient in domestic and foreign affairs among the Emperor's children. He alone can maintain the normal and orderly operation of the entire Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.
These five hundred worlds are only the core worlds of important value. If other human worlds and forge worlds are included, the number of worlds controlled by Guilliman is simply incalculable.
It was a vast territory occupying half of the Extreme Star Field, and only he had the ability to govern it in an orderly manner.
Even if Luo Xi only learned one percent of what he did, he would be able to deal with these Earth-era bureaucrats with ease.
"I told you before that if your X Academy wants to attract more mutants to join, the first thing you need to do is to give yourself an official identity.
Although this layer of skin may seem useless at ordinary times, it can be used to inspire trust in people in many cases.”
"What you lack is the ability to convince others. You need to tell the mutants that your academy background is strong and can protect them from social discrimination and oppression."
"And the person I'm talking about can help us pull up this tiger skin."
Charles didn't know how Roche knew so much about the CIA, but he was too lazy to care about the details.
Since he said that the CIA officer named Oliver was capable and willing to cooperate with them, then this condition would be considered to have been met.
……
Moria was very efficient and she came to visit again the next day.
"Professor Charles, I have conveyed your message. Minister Oliver has agreed to talk to you in person."
This heroic female agent no longer had the strong attitude she had at the beginning. After she went back, she also figured out what was going on. It was obvious that Charles had anticipated her coming, so he dealt with her in a leisurely manner.
She fell into the trap from the beginning.
"Minister Oliver was indeed sitting on the bench in the bureau before, but recently his superiors established a new mutation department and made him the director of that department."
Even Moria did not expect Oliver's rise. You know, before the meal, he not only had to sit on the bench, but was also a joke among his colleagues in the bureau.
It is well known that there are no supernatural powers in this world, but this common sense has now been broken.
More and more mutants appeared in the streets and alleys of the city. Some of them even suddenly awakened their mutant abilities in public and became mutants.
"Well, let's go and have a good talk with Minister Oliver." Charles gladly accepted the other party's invitation.
"They will go with me too." Charles said, pointing at Luo Xi and Riven standing beside him.
"We are all mutants."
Riven walked in front of Moria, and then countless fine scales on her body began to wriggle. In just a blink of an eye, she turned into a being exactly the same as the female agent.
"Hi, Moria." said Mystique Raven.
"Don't eat the sour radish!" Moria was frightened. She instinctively took two steps back and put her hand on the pistol at her waist. She let go of the pistol only after she came to her senses.
The next second, Riven turned back into her original wavy blonde look and winked playfully at the female agent who looked like she had seen a ghost.
Riven was very happy after scaring the other party, especially when she saw Moria's expression, which made her feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Okay, okay, I'm the only one who knows nothing." The female agent muttered to herself.
"Without further delay, let's go meet with Director Oliver and talk about cooperation."
Moria was just planning to take everyone in her car and then fly to the headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
"Don't bother, miss."
Luo Xi slowly stood up, and Charles and Raven subconsciously stood behind him.
"We have a quicker way."
Luo Xi snapped his fingers, and a shining golden beam enveloped the room.
The next second, when they opened their eyes again, they were shocked to find that they had arrived at the office building where Director Oliver was.
"Oh my God..." Moria was confused. What kind of power was this?
But then she became excited again. With the help of this group of mutants, they were more confident in dealing with Sebastian Shaw.
This part of the story is a bit dry, so I will speed up the transition. I will update twice a day in the next two days.
Chapter 673: Searching for Magneto (Three in One)
Luo Xi used his psychic power to teleport four people directly from New York State to Virginia, a straight-line distance of more than 600 kilometers.
In this era, even using the most advanced supersonic fighter jets, it would take more than half an hour to travel, and that doesn't even include the time it takes to get to the military airport.
As a CIA agent, Moria has a strong sense of time. She has received professional training and can roughly judge how much time has passed even without external reference points.
And now, she was sure that only a moment had passed.
The concept of this amount of information flashed quickly through Moria's mind. Six hundred kilometers is just a moment, so what about a longer distance? Where is the limit?
Can this capability be shared with others? Can it be used in the military?
Although she is not a member of the military, as a CIA agent, she naturally has this sensitivity.
The reason why Luo Xi wanted to show off his skills in front of them was to achieve this effect. Before discussing cooperation, he always had to show his bargaining chips and value.
Led by Moria, the group quickly entered this seemingly unpopular building.
As mentioned before, the new Mutant Department led by Oliver is just a fledgling department designed to deal with the threat of mutants, and it doesn't have many staff at present.
Luo Xi met Director Oliver, a tall, slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, who looked harmless.
"Director." Moria said, "I have brought them here."
Oliver, who was sitting on the chair, immediately stood up enthusiastically and looked at Charles, Luo Xi and Raven with a fiery look in his eyes.
Charles suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His family had migrated from the European continent, and he understood Oliver's look very well.
However, his sexual orientation is very normal, which can be seen from the fact that Charles often flirts with young and beautiful ladies.
"I know you have always existed, and yes, I have always been right." Oliver was extremely excited.
"For years I've been the laughing stock of the CIA, and now I'm finally out of it."
Charles felt Oliver's enthusiasm with a wry smile. It was obvious that the fat minister had endured too much ridicule and sarcasm in the previous years.
After venting for a minute, the Minister of the New Mutation Department finally regained his original calm.
After all, he had been in the CIA for decades and was very good at controlling his emotions. He was just a little excited after his wish came true.
"I heard from my agent Moria that you want to negotiate terms with me?"
"Yes." Charles sat down opposite the director and answered clearly.
"Then tell me, what do you want?"
Luo Xi gave him these opportunities to deal with official agencies. Talking without practice is just empty talk. How much Charles has learned can only be known through practice.
"I know you are tracking down Shaw and his accomplices. This guy has already started to act. Colonel Hendry has been coerced by these people to do abnormal things."
Charles began to demonstrate the "value" mentioned by Luo Xi. The information they had about Xiao was of precious value.
Oliver's expression became more serious as he added.
