The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 83: The Illuminati, Professor X's funeral arrangements
Mutant school.

Not long after Richard learned that Trask Industries had developed a gene-curing drug and would hold a press conference tomorrow morning, Professor X also learned about it.

Whether in terms of personal assets or official connections, Professor X is not as good as Tony.

But it is not difficult for him to know some inside information that ordinary people don’t know in advance.

In any case, the Xavier family, to which Professor X belongs, is also a well-established wealthy family in the United States.

During World War II, the Xavier family was already an extremely wealthy family.

Although Professor X had no interest in doing business or entering politics, over the years, both his family wealth and network of contacts had increased significantly.

After learning about the existence of the X-gene healing agent, Professor X immediately notified Phoenix, Cyclops and others.

X-Men underground base.

meeting room.

Professor X, who was sitting at the front of the conference table, explained the matter of the X gene healing potion in detail and asked for the opinions of Phoenix Girl and others.

"Gene X is not a disease and does not need a cure."

"Not only that, we must destroy the X-Gene Cure at its source."

"Even if they let mutants choose whether to get vaccinated at first, sooner or later the authorities will force all mutants to get vaccinated."

"Just like the original mutant restriction bill!"

After Professor X finished explaining the effects of the X-gene healing potion, Cyclops spoke immediately without any hesitation.

As the current captain of the X-Men, he is the X-Men who has the most dealings with the official authorities besides Professor X.

To put it simply, he not only understands the style of the US officials very well, but also knows very well how unscrupulous the US officials will be in order to achieve their goals.

Without going into the distant past, let’s just take the last time he and Professor X went to the headquarters of the Department of Mutant Affairs to meet Filippo Todd and Winston Lambert.

Not only was their meeting very unpleasant, but Tony and Lambert's attitudes almost made Professor X, who always had a good temper, lose his temper on the spot.

Even Professor X was almost angry enough to use his superpowers on the spot, let alone Cyclops.

If Professor X hadn't stopped him, he would have immediately destroyed the headquarters building of the Department of Mutant Affairs with a laser beam.

After Cyclops finished speaking, Storm's voice rang out.

"I agree with Scott's point of view. Given the consistent style of the authorities, it is only a matter of time before all mutants are forced to inject the drug."

“Instead of waiting until then to stop them, it’s better to stop them now.”

"If we act now, the initiative will be on our side."

When Storm finished speaking, Phoenix and Wolverine also expressed their opinions.

As Cyclops' girlfriend, Phoenix certainly would not oppose Cyclops' point of view.

As Phoenix's bootlicker, Wolverine agrees with all of her decisions except that she is unwilling to break up with Cyclops.

In front of others, he is the cold Wolverine.

But in front of Phoenix Girl, he is more like a King Kong bootlicker.

After listening to the opinions of Cyclops and the other three, Professor X was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he slowly said: "The birth of the X-gene healing potion is not necessarily a bad thing. For those mutants with obvious mutation characteristics and weak strength, the X-gene healing potion can allow them to live the normal life they want. We cannot deprive them of their right to choose."

"However, we must also prevent the authorities from forcing every mutant to be injected with a cure."

"I will find out the source of the X-gene healing agent as soon as possible. After the investigation is clear, I will decide whether to completely destroy the source or control the source."

Like Cyclops, Professor X is also well aware of the official US style of work.

But he did not agree with completely destroying the X-gene cure.

Just like he said just now, for those mutants who want to be normal people again, the X-gene healing potion is their hope to return to normal life.

Arbitrarily depriving others of their right to choose and hope goes against what he has always insisted on.

Although Professor X did not fully support his opinion, Cyclops was not surprised.

Or rather, he had thought of it early on.

at the same time.

Brotherhood of Mutants headquarters.

Magneto also learned about the X-gene healing potion.

Unlike Professor X, he immediately issued an order to stop the Trask Industries press conference after Mystique introduced the information about the X-gene healing agent.

In Professor X's opinion, the X-gene cure potion is the hope for some mutants to return to normal life.

In Magneto's view, the X-gene healing potion is a weapon used to exterminate mutants.

Although the injection of the X-gene healing agent will not kill you, you will just lose your superpowers and become a normal person again.

But from another perspective, this is killing mutants.

Since it is a weapon specifically designed to exterminate mutants, of course we must do everything we can to destroy the X-gene healing potion.

……

New York suburbs.

Silver Manor.

Unlike Professor X and Magneto who were focused on the X-gene healing potion, Richard was not too concerned about the X-gene healing potion, but was concerned about when Phoenix would lose control.

That's Vergil's true demon form!
No one would complain that their power is too strong!

Of course Richard wouldn't either.

The restaurant on the first floor of the main building of the manor.

After having a morning exercise with the White Queen in the bedroom for nearly two hours, he and the White Queen came to the restaurant for lunch.

"I'll go to the mutant school later to pick up Clarice and bring her to the manor."

Richard said to the White Queen.

"Uh-huh."

After hearing Richard's words, the White Queen did not show any displeasure and responded quickly.

Although Richard was going to bring other women back, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In addition, she now needs other people to help share the pressure.

Richard didn't say anything else and concentrated on enjoying the delicious Chinese lunch in front of him.

After moving from the White Queen's apartment to the manor, he specially hired several Chinese chefs at a high price.

Although there are not enough chefs from all eight major cuisines, these few chefs are enough to meet his daily Chinese food needs.

After finishing his delicious lunch, Richard did not go to the Mutant School immediately. Instead, he went to the study and searched the Internet for information about Trasco Industries.

In the movie, it was not Trask Industries but Worthington Corporation that developed the healing potion.

After a brief search on the Internet, Richard discovered that Trask Industries in this universe was still founded by Bolivar Trask.

Not only that, he also invented the Sentinel robot.

The only difference is that this universe does not have the plot of reversing the future as in the movie.

Although only some public information can be found on the Internet, for Richard, this public information is enough.

After browsing the information about Trask Industries, he immediately performed teleportation.

Mutant school.

After arriving at the mutant school, he originally planned to tell Professor X and then take Clarice away.

However, Professor X didn't think so.

"When did you know about the existence of the X-gene cure?"

Professor X asked Richard.

"This morning."

Richard replied.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Professor X continued to ask.

"Do nothing for now."

"Whether or not the X gene cure has been invented, my principle of doing things remains the same, that is, I will not offend others unless they offend me."

"If anyone thinks they can deal with me just because they have a gene-cure, I'll show them how wrong they are."

"If you have nothing else to do, Professor, I'll go see Clarice first."

Richard said slowly.

After hearing his answer, Professor X quickly said:
"I have something to ask of you."

"what's up?"

Richard looked at Professor X in confusion.

"If anything happens to me, there's someone I want you to see."

Professor X said with a serious expression. Meet someone?

After seeing the solemn expression on Professor X's face, Richard frowned slightly.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Professor X was making arrangements for his funeral in advance.

"Who are you meeting?"

Richard continued to ask.

"I can't tell you who it is yet."

"But I have arranged that if anything happens to me, someone will send you a letter."

"You'll know everything after you read the letter."

Professor X looked at Richard seriously and said slowly.

Although he didn't know who Professor X wanted him to meet, the name of an organization immediately flashed through Richard's mind.

Illuminati!
Could it be that they really want me to go meet someone from the Illuminati?

Richard muttered in his heart.

He knew very well who the members of the Illuminati in the comics were.

But he has no way of confirming whether the Illuminati exists in this world.

The only thing he was sure of now was that even if the Illuminati existed in this world, Tony was not a member of it.

Although the Tony in the comics is an official member of the Illuminati, the Tony in this universe is not as reliable as in the comics.

After thinking for a while, Richard said to Professor X:

"If someone really sends me such a letter, I will go and meet the mysterious person you mentioned, Professor."

Although he was not sure who Professor X wanted him to meet, he did not think it would be a problem and readily agreed.

Professor X looked at him with satisfaction and nodded in thanks.

After leaving Professor X's office, Richard quickly found Clarice.

At this time, Clarice didn't know about the X-gene healing potion yet, and was chatting with a group of girls of the same age on the grass behind the main building of the school.

When Clarice saw Richard coming, she first showed an expression of surprise.

Then, he trotted all the way to him.

"How did you come?"

"Did you come here specially to see me?"

Clarice asked immediately.

"I'm here to take you to the manor."

"I have just met with the professor. Your classes at school are over."

"Or rather, you graduated."

Richard replied.

"Did something happen outside?"

Although Clarice did not have rich life experience, she was not stupid and quickly realized that something was wrong.

"That's it."

"We'll tell you what it is after we return to the manor."

"See if there is anything you need to take away. If not, I will take you back to the manor now."

Richard continued.

"There's not much I need to take with me, but I need some time to say goodbye to my friends at school."

Clarice said softly.

"No problem. I'll wait for you here. When you're done, come find me here."

Richard replied.

"Uh-huh."

Clarice nodded and turned to walk towards the girls she had been chatting with.

As for Richard, he sat down on a nearby bench and waited patiently.

Time passes little by little.

More than ten minutes passed before I knew it.

Before Clarice came back, a young couple came to Richard.

Although he had never seen them before, Richard recognized them at a glance.

"Iceman" Poppy, and "Rakshasa" Rogue.

After coming in front of him, the Iceman didn't know how to start the conversation and looked at him with an awkward expression.

"What's up?"

After noticing the embarrassed expression on Iceman's face, Richard took the initiative to ask.

"Um... Mr. Wesley, Bobby and I are both your big fans. We want to take a photo with you. Is that okay?"

Before the Iceman could speak, the little rascal replied with an expectant look on his face.

Mr. Wesley?
After hearing the Iceman's address, Richard smiled and said, "I'm not much older than you, maybe even younger than you. There's no need to call me sir."

"As for taking photos, of course there is no problem."

After saying that, he stood up.

Although Little Rogue just said that they were all his crazy fans, he could tell that Iceman was most likely not his fan.

Not to mention that the Iceman is not excited at all now, and is even a little resistant.

The Iceman's mild nature alone meant that he was unlikely to be a fan.

The little rascal ignored the ice man, took out his cell phone with a happy look on his face, handed it to the ice man, and asked the ice man to take a photo of himself and Richard alone first.

After taking several individual photos of Richard, the little rascal asked the ice man to come over and take a few photos of the three of them.

After the photo session, Iceman immediately wanted to leave with Rogue.

However, the little rascal took out a notebook and a pen from his bag and said to Richard, "Can you sign for me again?"

"can!"

Taking the notebook and pen from Little Naughty, Richard signed on the notebook and said, "Your names are Bobby and Little Naughty, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Wesley, you know us?"

The little rascal looked at Richard in surprise.

"Well, I also know about your two superpowers."

"I'll give you a little advice. The superpowers you possess are much more powerful than you think."

After signing his name in the notebook, Richard returned the notebook and pen to the little rascal and said seriously.

Although it is still unknown whether Iceman and Rogue can develop their superpowers to the extent in the comics, even if not, it is good for both of them to have superpowers.

If the two of them were enemies, Richard would rob them of their superpowers without saying a word.

Especially Iceman's super powers!
Compared to other freezing abilities, Iceman's freezing ability has the potential to grow to Omega level.

"Poppy's superpowers are great, but mine are terrible."

"If I could, I would rather not have super powers."

The little rascal turned to look at the ice man beside him and said with a frown.

After hearing the little rascal's answer, Richard knew that she would most likely choose to take the initiative to inject the X gene healing agent and give up her superpowers, just like in the movie.

From his point of view, what the little rascal did was as stupid as it could be.

But he didn't intend to remind the little rascal.

Let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others!
After putting away the notebook, Rogue first thanked Richard, then left with the Iceman.

After seeing Little Rogue get Richard's autograph and take a photo successfully, other mutant students nearby also wanted to come over to Richard to take photos and get his autograph.

However, before they could do so, Clarice, dragging a suitcase, came to Richard.

When Clarice came back, Richard didn't hesitate at all and hugged Clarice's slender waist.

Teleportation!

In just a moment, he and Clarice disappeared from the sight of the mutant students and returned to Silver Manor from the Mutant School.

To be precise, we returned to the reception room on the first floor of the manor.

Then, Clarice saw the White Queen wearing a white hip skirt that fully showed off her sexy curves, and turned to look at Richard with a look of surprise.
