The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 30 The Hunt Begins (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
A-level wanted warrant?
After hearing what Cyclops said, Professor X immediately frowned.

"The Los Angeles branch issued a Class A warrant a few days ago. Why didn't they notify us immediately?"

"According to the agreement, after the A-level wanted warrant is issued, they should contact us as soon as possible and seek our opinions."

Professor X asked Cyclops.

Although he failed to prevent the release of the Mutant Restriction Act, he did not do nothing as rumored.

The Department of Mutant Affairs and the X-Men have a non-disclosure agreement.

The content of the agreement is not complicated, with only a few clauses.

One of them is that the Department of Mutant Affairs must notify the X-Men immediately after issuing a Class A wanted warrant and ask the X-Men whether they want to join the capture.

If the X-Men join in the capture, the captured mutants will be handed over to the X-Men first, and the X-Men will confirm whether it is necessary to send them to a mutant prison.

If the wanted mutant has the possibility of reforming, the X-Men will be responsible for persuading him to do so.

The reason why Professor X added this clause to the agreement is very simple.

Limit the power of the Department of Mutant Affairs and retain strength for the mutant community.

A-level wanted warrant is the second most powerful wanted warrant after S-level wanted warrant.

No matter what the reason why the wanted mutants are included in the A-level wanted list, it shows one thing, that is, the wanted mutants are the elites in the mutant community.

To put it bluntly, ordinary mutants don't even qualify to be on a Class A wanted list.

Cyclops sighed helplessly and said slowly:
"It's not just the Los Angeles branch, other branches of the Mutant Affairs Department are not fulfilling the terms of the agreement."

"Only after we discover them will they begrudgingly send over the wanted target's information."

Although Professor X possesses the strongest telepathic abilities, he still sometimes overestimates human nature.

No organization likes to have others interfere in its internal affairs!

The X-Men don't like the US government interfering in their internal affairs, and the Department of Mutant Affairs also doesn't like the X-Men interfering in their capture missions.

Even if there is an agreement, if you don’t like it, you just don’t like it.

"How long has this phenomenon been going on?"

Professor X asked, frowning.

“It has been like this since the agreement was signed until now.”

Cyclops replied quickly.

Has it always been like this?

Professor X's expression became uglier.

"Why didn't you tell me this before? I could go to the Minister of Mutant Affairs and ask him to strictly follow the protocol."

Professor X continued.

"Professor, it's not that we don't want to, but..."

Cyclops paused and didn't say the rest.

"But what?"

"Scott, I don't want to use telepathy on you."

Professor X said, frowning.

Hearing Professor X's words, Cyclops unconsciously clenched his fists.

After staring at Professor X for a few seconds, he spoke:
"Professor, do you know how people outside evaluate us after the implementation of the Mutant Restriction Act?"

"People now say that the X-Men are dogs of the government, who only know how to wag their tails to fawn on the government and deal with their own people."

"Even the school is now said to be a dog training base, responsible for training mutants to become official dogs."

Under normal circumstances, Cyclops would never say this to Professor X.

Although he didn't quite understand why Professor X didn't strongly oppose the implementation of the Mutant Restriction Act, he chose to believe Professor X.

However, as time went by, he began to doubt his original choice.

He did not deny that Professor X was a good man, a good man who devoted his whole life and everything to the mutant community.

But the fact is that after the implementation of the Mutant Restriction Act, the discrimination faced by mutants has not only not decreased, but has become more serious.

In other words, the emergence of the Mutant Restriction Act has made all mutants inferior.

"Scott, do you also think that I made a mistake back then and shouldn't have agreed to the implementation of the bill?"

Professor X asked seriously, looking at Cyclops.

"I don't know, I really don't know."

"All I know now is that the discrimination faced by mutants has become more severe, the reputation of the X-Men has deteriorated, and there are fewer and fewer students in the school."

"I also know that after seeing the video and the current live broadcast of Richard killing the agents and special forces of the Los Angeles branch, I don't think he is an unforgivable evil. I even feel a little sympathy for him."

"Before coming to the office, I did a simple search of their information in the database."

"They didn't do anything wrong except failing to register according to the law."

"Not only that, Roy Wesley is also a well-known philanthropist in Los Angeles."

"He has done a lot of good things in Los Angeles, setting up charitable funds to help disadvantaged groups, and he is also enthusiastic about public welfare and donations."

"Even after establishing the 'Crimson Manor', he never let the people in the 'Crimson Manor' do anything radical or malicious. He just quietly took the mutants who needed help to the manor and took care of them."

"Although his son Richard Wesley is a second-generation rich man, he does not live a life of debauchery like other second-generation rich men. He does not even own a sports car, only an ordinary Ford."

"The results of it?"

"Roy Wesley was arrested, Richard Wesley was wanted, and all assets under their names were seized and frozen." "Are they involved in drug trafficking? Or human trafficking? Or are they secretly supporting terrorists?"

"No, nothing. They just want to live a normal life and help those in need."

"To be honest, if I were Richard Wesley, I would probably do something even more extreme than him."

Professor X didn't expect that Cyclops, who had always been so calm, would become so excited.

In addition, he also heard from Cyclops' words that he was strongly dissatisfied with the Mutant Restriction Act.

In other words, strong dissatisfaction with the status quo.

After a few seconds of silence, Professor X said to Cyclops:
"Go inform Jean, Logan, and Ororo that you go to Los Angeles immediately and bring Richard and Victor back."

"If anyone from the Department of Mutant Affairs tries to stop you, tell them this is a decision made by me, Charles Xavier."

"If they are dissatisfied, let their minister come to me personally."

Cyclops was stunned for a moment, looking at Professor X in surprise.

He thought that after he said this, Professor X would tell him some profound truths.

For example, the necessity of mutant registration, the existence of the Department of Mutant Affairs is to allow mutants and humans to coexist peacefully, etc.

Unexpectedly, Professor X would ask them to go to Los Angeles and bring back Richard and Sabretooth Victor despite the obstruction of the Department of Mutant Affairs.

"Professor, I..."

Cyclops didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If you have anything to say, bring the person back and then talk."

Professor X looked at Cyclops kindly, as if he didn't care at all about what he had just said.

"Okay, I'll go inform Qin and the others now."

Cyclops nodded to Professor X, then turned and left the office.

……

Brotherhood of Mutants headquarters.

Magneto's office.

"This little guy is quite interesting. Judging from his appearance, he won't leave unless he kills me to his heart's content tonight."

"Raven, take a few people with you and ask him if he's interested in joining the Brotherhood of Mutants."

Magneto watched the live broadcast on TV and said to Mystique who was sitting next to him.

After hearing what Magneto said, Mystique immediately replied: "He will not join the Brotherhood of Mutants."

"Have you seen him before?"

Magneto looked at Mystique in confusion.

"I have seen him before. His name is Richard Wesley, and he is the son of Roy Wesley."

Mystique said slowly.

Roy Wesley?
Magneto recalled it, an expression of realization appeared on his face, and he said with a smile:

"Let's take someone there. Two months ago, he would never have thought that he would awaken superpowers, let alone that he would go from being a well-fed, well-off second-generation to a Class A wanted criminal."

"Also, tell him something for me. As long as he joins the Brotherhood of Mutants, I will help him get back the Wesley family's assets with interest."

Mystique stood up and said slowly, "I can take someone there, but I can't guarantee that I can bring him back."

"A mutant who can destroy three sentinel robots cannot be brought back by force unless you do it yourself."

After saying that, Mystique left the office without waiting for Magneto to answer.

……

Los Angeles Branch.

Richard doesn't know now that Professor X and Magneto are planning to send someone to take him away.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

The only thing he cares about now is whether there will be 11 mutant agents rushing back.

He still needs to kill 11 mutant agents to complete the system's task, and he doesn't want to have to look for and hunt mutant agents in the next two days.

When the entire Los Angeles branch was surrounded by Los Angeles police and special forces, he finally met the mutant agents who had rushed back.

After seeing these mutant agents, he immediately started counting them.

1个、2个、3个……12个、13个、14个！
14 mutant agents!

After seeing that there were 14 mutant agents rushing back, Richard showed a satisfied expression.

If it were other mutants, after seeing these 14 mutant agents, they might become nervous and even start to consider running away.

But he won't.

Because for him, the arrival of these 14 mutant agents not only means that he can get Virgil's phantom sword tonight, but also means that he can plunder good superpowers next.

Under the gaze of everyone, he stood up from the "throne" made of the wreckage of the Sentinel robots and pulled out the authentic sword that was stuck in the ground.

After making a casual knife dance, he muttered something in his heart.

"The hunt...begins!"
