American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

"My God!"

Watching Tony Stark's armor crash heavily to the ground from the sky like a meteor.

Pepper gasped in surprise, covering her mouth, and tried to rush over to check if Tony was injured, but Lynn Hall pulled her back.

"Don't worry, Tony will be fine, and the battle isn't over yet!"

As soon as Lynn finished speaking, Tony controlled his armor to stand up.

When he saw Pepper next to Lynn, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, Lynn. I knew you'd get Pepper out safely."

[Tony Stark's favorability rating is 7, and you have received a gift of 1000 experience points.]

Upon hearing the system notification that Tony Stark's favorability had reached 7, Lynn Hall was surprised to receive a first gift of 1000 experience points.

Keep in mind that even the mutant Barbara only has 50 experience points.

It's safe to say that this is a huge win for the core giants of the future Avengers superheroes!

Thinking of this, Lynn looked up at Obadiah Stan, who was falling rapidly from the sky.

As a villain standing on the opposite side of Tony Stark, if he were to steal someone's head, -7

The more favor you gain, the more generous the rewards you'll receive in one go!

"Puff..."

The Iron Monarch armor landed with a heavy thud, then lay motionless on the ground.

Seeing this, Lynn was a little worried. Would Obadiah Stan just fall to his death?

Tony Stark breathed a sigh of relief, then walked over and said, "I gave him a chance, but he didn't appreciate it. But Lynn, thankfully you rescued Pepper."

"Otherwise, I simply can't imagine it."

Before Tony Stark could finish speaking, Iron Monger, who was lying on the ground, stood up abruptly.

"Tony, be careful!"

Seeing this, Pepper was about to loudly remind Tony, but the next second Obadiah Stan grabbed Tony Stark's armor and threw him away.

At the crucial moment, a strand of spider silk caught Tony Stark, and then Spider-Man sprang out from a distance: "Hey, Mr. Stark, are you alright? I saw the news that you were being beaten up by that big metal barrel, so I came to help."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. You can call me Spider-Man; I'm a friendly neighbor to New Yorkers!"

As they were talking, the Iron Monger, who had been charging forward, was suddenly blocked by the Spider Woman.

Before Iron Monger could retaliate, Spider Woman grabbed his arm and flung him away. "My God, is that Spider Woman?"

"Well done, Spider Woman!"

"Come on, beat this damn guy..."

Hearing the cheers of the crowd around him, Tony Stark, having regained his footing, said, "Spider-Man, huh? Looks like Spider-Woman is more popular than you in New York!"

"Well...maybe it's because she debuted earlier than me!"

Peter Parker shrugged after hearing what Tony Stark said.

"Really? I don't think it's that simple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony Stark piloted his armor into the air and charged toward Obadiah Stan.

"Hey Spider-Woman, thanks for your help, but he's mine!"

Upon seeing Tony Stark charging towards her in his armor, Gwen stepped back and cleared the battlefield.

"All right!"

After relinquishing the battlefield, Gwen went straight to Lynn's side.

Seeing that Spider-Man had followed from the other side, Gwen did not show any overly intimate relationship with Lynn.

After all, if he and Lynn acted too intimately, someone with ulterior motives would definitely discover his true identity if they investigated.

"Did you come with Spider-Man?"

You can tell what Gwen is thinking from her actions, so Lynn asked her the same questions he would ask a subordinate.

"No, I saw on the news that a fight had broken out here, and I was worried that they might harm innocent people."

That's why I rushed over.

"However, Mr. Hall, I met him during the day, and he said he wanted to join our organization!"

1

The deliberate emphasis on the word "organization" was specifically for Spider-Man's benefit; Gwen wanted to convey the impression that the organization was enormous.

Hearing Gwen say that, Lynn instantly understood what she meant.

He turned to Peter Parker and smiled, "We meet again, Spider-Man."

"Um... Hello Mr. Hall, I'm really sorry about the misunderstanding I had with you in the alley last time."

But I never imagined that the organization behind Spider-Woman was you.

"Has Spider-Woman joined the FBI? Please don't misunderstand, I have no intention of prying into your privacy."

I just wanted to learn more about your organization, or..."

Seeing Peter Parker's concern about being misunderstood and leaving a bad impression, Lynn Hall laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not that scary."

"Of course, I just..."

"I understand what you mean."

Seeing the somewhat nervous Peter Parker, Lynn suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps it would be great to create my own superhero organization, which would also make it easier to increase my popularity with superheroes.

Thinking this through, Lynn looked at Spider-Man seriously and said, "Spider-Woman is indeed a member of an organization, but this organization is not official, nor is it under the jurisdiction of the FBI; it exists independently!"

"The organization's philosophy is actually very simple: with great power comes great responsibility! This world is too dangerous, so we need capable people to protect the safety of ordinary people!"

"The organization welcomes all partners who uphold justice to join us!"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Peter Parker's eyes widened beneath his mask.

"With great power comes great responsibility? That's so cool, Mr. Lynn. May I ask...?"

"Don't rush, now is not the right time to talk."

Seeing the somewhat agitated Peter Parker, Lynn pointed to Tony Stark, who was being thrown out by the Iron Monger once again, and said, "I'll come find you after this is over."

"We'll discuss this later."

"Woolen cloth."

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Peter Parker nodded quickly.

the other side.

Tony Stark, who had been thrown away, lay on the ground panting heavily, his armor now almost completely depleted of energy.

"Tony, do you need any help over there?"

Seeing that Tony Stark hadn't gotten up yet, Lynn Hall asked.

"Damn it, okay Lynn, I think I really do need your help."

"Damn it, if Obadiah Stan hadn't stolen my Arc Reactor, forcing me to fight with the old one, I would have taken him down long ago!"

Lynn smiled at Tony's stubborn words.

Peter Parker, who was standing to the side, was just about to volunteer, wanting to show off in front of Lynn.

But then Lynn waved his hand and said to Polaris, who was watching the commotion, "Lorna, this big guy is yours!"

Hearing Lynn say that he would hand over this big guy to him.

Polaris nodded coolly, then walked towards the battlefield.

"Mr. Lynn, is this little girl also part of your organization? She looks to be only a teenager, she... my goodness!"

In the blink of an eye, Polaris slammed the Iron Monger, which was charging toward Tony Stark, to the ground.

Immediately, a layer of green energy covered the Iron Monarch armor, and then the armor gradually began to peel away.

Seeing this, Peter Parker asked Lynn in surprise, "That's so cool! What kind of ability does she have? Is it the ability to control magnetic fields and metal?"

"And, Mr. Hall, is she also a member of the organization?"

Lynn Hall did not reply to Peter Parker's surprised tone.

He stepped forward and looked at Obadiah Stan, who had been stripped of his armor, then walked over to the arriving NYPD and showed them his badge.

They took a pair of gloves from their hands and held Obadiah Stein down.

Facing Obadiah Stan, who was glaring at him with hatred and cursing, Lynn Hall laughed, "You can take your revenge on me when you're in hell!"

After saying that, Lynn shoved him into a police car and said to Tony Stark, "Tony,

This guy poses a threat to national security, so he belongs to me!

When faced with Lynn's "reason," Tony mistakenly believes that Lynn is worried that he will soften his heart and let him go again, and that he will pose a threat to him and Pepper in the future.

So he prepared to deal with him as a friend.

With that thought in mind, Tony Stark nodded.

At the same time, inside S.H.I.E.L.D.

"That was truly a wonderful performance."

Watching everything unfold on the computer screen, Nick Fury looked up at Hill: "Look, Tony..."

The fight between Stark and Obadiah Stan even drew the attention of Spider-Woman and Spider-Man, who were the focus of our attention.

"Hill, I've read your evaluation reports on Spider-Woman and Spider-Man. Do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. can recruit them?"

In response to Nick Fury's question, Hill said, "At first I was 70% sure, because once they knew what kind of help S.H.I.E.L.D. would provide, it would be hard for them to refuse."

"But now I think the probability has dropped to 30%, or even lower!"

"Because of Lynn Hall?"

"That's right!"

Nodding, Hill looked at Nick Fury and said, "At the beginning, the media's focus was on Tony Stark and Obadiah Stein."

"But since Spider-Woman and Spider-Man appeared, they have attracted the attention of the media and the public."

"Judging from the footage they filmed, Spider-Woman and Spider-Man clearly know Lynn Hall."

At this point, Hill used holography to zoom in on the video screenshot she had just taken on her tablet: "After Spider-Woman came to Lynn's side, she didn't seem to be very familiar with Lynn Hall."

"But when she was talking to Lynn, her body subconsciously turned towards Lynn Hall, and she showed absolutely no awareness of being on guard throughout the entire process."

"This kind of subconscious closeness and trust is something that most people cannot achieve."

"As for Spider-Man, although he also knows Lynn Hall, he doesn't have the same subconscious intimacy that Spider-Woman shows."

Upon hearing Hill's analysis, Nick Fury nodded in agreement.

However, he focused more attention on the three women around Lynn Hall.

"Barbara Kent, nicknamed the Stowaway, has the ability to open portals and teleport people or objects to designated locations."

"When Coulson and Lynn found the stowaways together, he wanted Barbara Kent to join S.H.I.E.L.D., but clearly, she trusted Lynn Hall more."

"As for the other two girls... the girl with the dark green hair has abilities very similar to Magneto!"

At this point, Nick Fury looked at Hill and said, "Now, with Lynn at the center, several people with extraordinary abilities have gathered around him. Hill, send someone to make contact with Lynn again, even though he has repeatedly refused Coulson's invitation."

"But I always felt he should belong to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upon hearing Nick Fury's instructions, Hill was puzzled as to where his confidence came from.

However, she still stood up and said, "Alright, this time I will let Natasha do the recruitment."

Watching Hill turn and leave, Nick Fury opened the drawer and glanced inside.

Inside the drawer was a proposal about a superhero team.

The fight between Tony Stark and Obadiah Stan garnered a lot of attention.

It sparked a craze in just a few days.

This battle not only attracted the attention of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., but also drew the attention of the military.

Although Tony Stark had long ago announced the permanent closure of Stark Industries' weapons division, and even many military orders were snatched away by Hammer Industries.

Ultimately, however, the military has greater confidence in weapons manufactured by Stark Industries.

When they first saw Tony Stark wearing armor, but telling the media that he had mechanical prosthetics, it was during that time.

The military wanted to order these "mechanical prosthetics," but they didn't press the issue after Tony refused.

But now, seeing the mechanical prosthetics Tony mentioned fighting the Iron Monger, they realized that this was exactly the weapon the military needed.

In the past few days, countless people have been lobbying Tony Stark to manufacture armor for the military.

Even Rhodes had to repeatedly be ordered to approach Tony Stark.

Of course, in the face of this group of "crazy" military personnel, one colonel had a different focus.

Moreover, the colonel appeared unusually agitated at that moment.

"FUXX, you're all a bunch of idiots! Since that arrest warrant was already issued, why didn't you conduct a thorough search?"

"Open your eyes and take a good look. She inherited Magneto's abilities. You bunch of damn idiots. If you had put in a little more effort, you could have caught her sooner."

"Then the lab will now have a perfect gene sample!"

As Colonel Stryker continued his angry curses, the military men all lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

After Stryker finished venting his anger, one of the officers cautiously said, "Colonel, I think it's not too late for us to find her now."

"She and her companion are wanted by the military, after all. We can find Lynn Hall."

Before the officer could finish speaking, Stryker slammed the documents into his face: "F*** you, are you an idiot? If you can think of that, surely Lynn Hall, as an FBI agent, couldn't?"

"He's even bringing Magneto's daughter with him. Do you still think that two-year-old arrest warrant is useful?"

"If we go to his door now demanding his release, do you believe Lynn Hall won't just refuse to hand him over, but will immediately turn his attention to me? Don't forget the tailhook incident from back then..."

Stryker stopped talking abruptly halfway through his sentence.

This is, after all, a scandal.

Stryker took a deep breath, waved for everyone to leave, and after a moment of contemplation, dialed his superior's number.

Tony Stark's matter was now completely resolved, but Lynn Hall did not choose to send Obadiah Stan directly to VIP Lounge One.

Instead, he was temporarily imprisoned, and after the storm had passed, he was allowed to "commit suicide" in prison by his own hands.

Sitting in his office, Lynn Hall was reviewing information about his "opponent".

Although Director Duke implied that the position of head of the Secret Service would be his next year.

However, it's best not to easily believe promises before the specific results are available.

What's more, Kenny Davis's uncle is the Deputy Attorney General!

Although the FBI has considerable power, it is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice.

Even the director of the FBI has to give face to the deputy attorney general.

Not to mention Duke.

Even if his other identity is Hydra.

Lynn was absolutely certain that once the Department of Justice put some pressure on them, or the Deputy Attorney General and Duke "discussed" the position of FBI Director two years from now, Lynn would be able to secure the job.

Then Duke would definitely give up on himself without hesitation!

People must rely on themselves!

Jessica said that Kenny Davis was preparing to take action against her, so Lynn decided to make Kenny Davis disappear physically in a reasonable and verifiable way.

It would be even better if his uncle could be sent to hell as well!

Lynn flipped through the file on Kenny Davis in his hand, searching for a suitable target.

In his pursuit of promotion over the years, Kenny Davis has "hurt" many people, even causing many families to be ruined and destroyed.

So, in a short time, Lynn found that there were simply too many targets he could use.

After filtering through the candidates, Lynn Hall found someone named Jonathan Polly.

Jonathan Polly, 27, a former top rich kid.

His father founded a biotechnology company thirty years ago and even had close collaborations with Osborn Enterprises.

However, just three months ago, his father was suddenly investigated by the FBI and subsequently charged with endangering public safety in the United States, and was not allowed to be released on bail.

Jonathan Polly tirelessly campaigned for his father, but before the lawsuit could even begin, old Polly mysteriously committed suicide in prison!

It's obvious without even thinking that this was a deliberate "suicide".

After the death of old Polly, the Polly Company declared bankruptcy and was acquired, leaving Jonathan Polly, a rich second-generation heir, bankrupt overnight.

The villa where Kenny Davis lives today is the same villa that once belonged to the Polly family!

After seeing the information, Lynn Hall picked up the phone and dialed Alice's number.

A few minutes later, Alice arrived at Lynn Hall's office.

In a bar in New York at dusk.

Lynn Hall sat in a chair drinking a cocktail, but his eyes were fixed on Jonathan Polly, who was sitting in the corner looking dejected.

According to the investigation, Jonathan Polly would come to this bar to drown his sorrows whenever he was in a bad mood during those three months.

Even if all they had left were a few dozen yuan.

As Jonathan Polly accepted the beer from the bartender, his heart was filled with grief and indignation.

I once spent enough in one night to buy this bar.

But now, I've been reduced to only being able to drink this kind of cheap liquor.

Then he thought back to when he went to them for help, those friends who used to fawn over him now had disgusting, arrogant faces.

Jonathan Polly was filled with rage!

"Fuck you, you're all a bunch of sons of bitches!"

After uttering an angry curse, Jonathan Polly picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp.

He lost his family, wealth, and friends overnight.

Even his girlfriend abandoned him, becoming that damned FBI agent's plaything.

After drinking several glasses of wine, Jonathan was somewhat tipsy.

Just as he was filled with grief and indignation, a beautiful woman stepped forward and said with a smile, "Handsome, would you mind sharing a table?"

Seeing the woman who had suddenly touched him, Jonathan, who was already a little drunk, looked up.

For some reason, he felt that the girl in front of him had a similar temperament to his first love.

"Drinking alone is too boring, how about we keep each other company?"

As she spoke, the woman ordered two drinks from the bartender and then started chatting with Jonathan.

Not far away.

Seeing this, Lynn Hall looked away.

Alice has already laid the bait; the plan to kill her by destroying her spirit has officially begun.

"Hey handsome, can you buy me a drink?"

Just as Lynn was about to leave, a tall and beautiful woman came to Lynn's side and built a path for him.

Not far away.

Natasha, who was originally looking at her wine glass and preparing to walk over to hitch a ride with Lynn, saw that someone had actually hitched a ride with her target first.

He then sat back down in his chair.

At the same time, he looked in Lynn's direction with great interest.

Having just returned from a mission, Natasha Romanov had originally planned to take a few days off.

Unexpectedly, Hill asked him to find a way to recruit Lynn Hall.

Even more coincidentally, Lynn Hall showed up at the bar he frequented.

Although it was a coincidence, Natasha quickly devised a recruitment plan after seeing her target appear.

Unfortunately, before he could even make his appearance, Lynn was approached by someone else.

After chatting for a while, Lynn actually led the woman away from the bar.

Natasha pursed her lips, then followed him out.

Inside the alley.

"Hehe, you're too impatient. I don't think this is a good place to do business."

Seeing Lynn eagerly leading her into a deserted alley, the woman covered her mouth and giggled.

Before she could say anything more, Lynn Hall suddenly reached out, grabbed her by the neck, lifted her up, and slammed her against the wall.

"You...let go..."

She grabbed Lynn's wrists with both hands, trying to make her let go, but the intense feeling of suffocation made her dizzy.

The hand around his neck seemed capable of snapping his neck with just a little force.

Before she could even beg for mercy, Lynn Hall's voice turned icy as he asked, "What's your purpose in approaching me, Mystique Raven?"

Yes, the woman who was flirting with him was none other than Mystique Raven.

There was no other reason than the system notification sounded in her ear just as she approached.

[Raven Darkholm, Affection Level: 2]

Although I don't know why Mystique would have a 2% affection level with me.

But Lynn guessed that this was very likely related to Polaris Lorna.

Lynn couldn't think of a second explanation.

After all, it's normal for Mystique, as Magneto's old friend, to know about Polaris's existence!

Just as Lynn grabbed Mystique by the neck, preparing to interrogate her, a series of thunderclaps suddenly resounded in the night sky.

As lightning ripped through the night sky, illuminating the alley, Storm Ororo and Phoenix Jean Grey descended from the heavens.

"Long time no see, Mr. Hall!"

Seeing Lynn Hall gripping Mystique's neck with one hand, Phoenix stepped forward and greeted him.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Seeing Jean Grey and Ororo arrive, Lynn Hall asked, "You're here for her? Also, as I said before, you can just call me Lynn."

"Alright, Lynn, we did come for Raven."

Nodding, Jean Grey said, "Since the Mutant Wars, members of the Brotherhood of Mutants have been scattered all over the world."

"During this period, we kept tracking their movements, but we were unable to find them."

"It wasn't until this evening that the professor suddenly sensed Raven's presence, so he sent us over."

At this point, Jean Grey stepped forward: "Lynn, I know this request is a bit much, but could you hand her over to us to take back?"

"The professor wants to know what conspiracy Raven was plotting during her disappearance."

Upon hearing Jean Grey's request, Lynn Hall glanced at Raven, whose face was flushed from suffocation, in his hands.

After thinking for a moment, she handed her over to Jean Grey.

"Thank you, Lynn."

Seeing that Lynn Hall had actually agreed to his request.

Jean Grey, who had expected to struggle to achieve her goal despite much persuasion, was utterly surprised.

Although she knew from the previous Adam Morris incident that Lynn Hall had goodwill toward mutants.

But to my surprise, they actually believed them.

[Jane Grey's Affection Level: 4]

Upon hearing the system notification, Jean Grey's favorability rating increased by 1 point compared to the previous time.

Lynn looked at Jean Grey, who was thanking him sincerely, and said, "You're welcome. Although others or some official organizations are hostile to mutants, I am an exception."

Ororo's Affection Level: 4

[Raven Darkholm's favorability rating: 3]

Hearing the system notification, Mystique's favorability rating actually increased by 1 point again.

Lynn was also slightly surprised.

After thanking Lynn once more, Jean Grey and Ororo left with Mystique. Once the three had disappeared, Lynn turned his gaze to the other side: "You've been eavesdropping for so long, now that they're gone, it's time for you to come out!"

As Lynn finished speaking, Natasha walked out of the darkness: "I didn't expect you to have feelings for mutants."

"Although you just allowed Jean Grey to take Mystique away in an attempt to shift the trouble onto the X-Men."

"Who are you?"

Seeing Black Widow emerge from the shadows, Lynn pretended not to recognize her and asked,

Yes, the reason Lynn allowed Phoenix and the others to take Raven away was indeed because she was preparing to throw trouble out there.

Since Magneto's capture, many members of the Brotherhood of Mutants have gone into hiding.

Lynn had heard Scott mention Adam Morris during the last mission to capture him.

He speculated that as one of the key members of the Brotherhood of Mutants, Mystique Raven also had some other members under her control.

Now, Mystique is approaching me in the bar. I don't know what her purpose is, but I'm sure she wants to use me for something.

But now that she's been taken away by Jean Grey, the trouble has shifted to the X-Men.

"S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha Romanoff."

In response to Lynn's question, Natasha shrugged and said, "The director wants me to recruit you, Mr. Hall. You've had dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D., so you should understand that compared to the FBI, S.H.I.E.L.D. is capable of..."

"I have absolutely no interest in S.H.I.E.L.D."

Before Natasha could finish speaking, Lynn Hall interrupted her.

"Just as Coulson said, but the more you refuse, the more Fury wants you."

At this point, Natasha smiled at Lynn and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Want to go for another drink? It's on me."

Lynn Hall declined Natasha's invitation.

After Lynn Hall left, Natasha took out her phone and called Hill.

"Lynn Hall refused?"

"Yes, and I've found that he seems to have a deep distrust of S.H.I.E.L.D."

As they walked out of the alley, Natasha said, "Although he didn't show it obviously, I could sense his aversion to S.H.I.E.L.D."

"How could that be?"

Upon hearing Natasha's words, Hill on the other end of the phone said, "Coulson has recruited him more than once, and although Lynn Hall has refused each time, he has never shown any aversion to S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Not to mention distrust, where does this feeling come from? Unless something happened recently that would cause him to distrust S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I don't know about that!"

Back in the car, Natasha started the engine and said, "But he definitely doesn't trust S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Oh, right, I'm about to drive back to my apartment, but I had two drinks. If I get caught by the traffic cop, don't forget to cancel the ticket for me."

"After all, I only had a couple of drinks because of the mission."

Without waiting for Hill's reply, Natasha hung up the phone.

the other side.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lynn pondered his conversation with Natasha.

Black Widow should have already noticed that she has subtly expressed her aversion and distrust towards S.H.I.E.L.D.

This can be seen as him laying the groundwork for his future sale of Hydra.

Once Hydra is exposed in the future, I'll have an excuse!

Leaning against the passenger seat, Lynn had Alice start the car.

After all, how could he drive himself if he had been drinking?

"Boss, Claire has gotten close to Jonathan Polly as planned. It won't be long before the penniless Jonathan falls madly in love with Claire."

"So, boss, what's the next step?"

In response to Alice's question, Lynn looked out the car window at the receding night view and said, "I'm going to drive Jonathan completely insane, and then personally kill Kenny Davis, that enemy."

"That's not easy, boss. Claire isn't a professional agent, after all; she's been involved in escort services in Portland."

"You're not a man, Alice. Although you like women, you don't know how to truly destroy a man!"

Alice clicked her tongue when she heard her boss say that.

After driving Lynn back to his large apartment.

Watching Lynn get out of the car and prepare to leave, Alice suddenly said, "Boss, although I'm not a real man, Laura 13, Lorna 14, you, the real man, need to control yourself!"

"roll!"

Upon hearing Lynn's outburst, Alice chuckled and then drove away from the spot.

Inside Xavier College.

They saw Jean Grey and Ororo bring Mystique back.

Professor X, sitting in his wheelchair, smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing, Professor. The capture of Mystique this time was very simple. When we found her, she was already under Lynn's control."

"oh?""

Hearing Jean Grey say this, Professor X asked curiously, "Is it the FBI agent Lynn Hall you mentioned last time, the one who has goodwill towards us mutants?"

"Yes, Professor."

After recounting what had happened, Jean Grey laughed and said, "I thought we'd have to talk a lot today, but Lynn just handed her over to us directly."

At this point, Jean Grey said softly, "Unfortunately, although Lynn is benevolent towards mutants and is one of the few official members willing to befriend them, the bill we proposed cannot leverage his power."

"otherwise."

"You're too impatient, Jean. Sooner or later, we can achieve peaceful coexistence between mutants and ordinary people through our own efforts."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Mystique chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Looking at Mystique's smile, Wolverine Logan, holding a beer, frowned and asked.

"What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at you guys, of course."

Looking at everyone in the room, Mystique said disdainfully, "Let's put aside your foolish and peaceful coexistence ideals, and talk about the way you make friends."

"You keep saying that Lynn is a friend of mutants and that he is kind to you, but you want to use his kindness and identity to achieve your own goals."

"Feeling regretful when the goal can't be achieved? Pfft, is this what you call friends? No wonder Eric looks down on you!"

Upon hearing Mystique's words, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and a hint of shame flashed in the eyes of Jean Grey and Storm.

They did have this idea, after all, Lynn's status was what it was.

But after hearing Mystique's words, both of them felt extremely ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I was wrong. I was too opportunistic. I will find an opportunity to apologize to Lynn." Hearing Jean Grey take the initiative to admit her mistake, Professor X smiled and nodded.

Turning to Mystique, Professor X asked, "Raven..."

"Stop wasting your breath. Aren't you able to read other people's minds?"

Before Professor X could finish speaking, Mystique interjected, "So if you want to know something, go see for yourself!"

Upon hearing Mystique's words, Professor X said softly, "Raven, everything you and Eric did..."

This time, it wasn't Mystique who interrupted Professor X, but rather the alarm sounding from within the school.

The moment the alarm sounded, everyone in the room stood up immediately.

"Scott, you and Logan go protect the children. Ororo, we'll go out and meet the enemy!"

Jean Grey immediately took command. Regardless of who the enemy was, the first priority was to protect the safety of the mutant students.

As everyone left, Professor X used his ability to read Raven's thoughts.

The moment Professor X saw Raven's plan, his expression instantly turned serious.

"Raven, you're going to kill all mutants!"

"Ha, your approach is outdated, Charles!"

Looking at Professor X, Raven's face lit up with madness: "Eric is right!"

At the same time, inside the Pentagon.

The officials were being escorted back to the basement, while some guards kept firing at the invading mutants.

White House.

Amidst piercing alarms, guards repeatedly shielded the president as he retreated into a safe house, while simultaneously calling for military support.

At a military base in New Jersey.

Screams rose and fell, and explosions and bullets lit up the night.

Outside the special prison where Magneto is held.

Glancing at the time, the mutant, hidden in the shadows, said to his companion, "Smith, can we make our move now?"

"Wait a little longer!"

With his eyes fixed on the heavily guarded prison in front of him, Smith showed no sign of anxiety.

Time passed second by second, until the lights in this special prison suddenly went out.

Smith's hands transformed into two long swords: "Action!"

At Smith's command, the next moment, all the members of the Brotherhood of Mutants in the vicinity launched an attack.

Just moments later, screams of agony echoed from inside and outside the prison!

At the same time, at James Duke's home.

"What? Damn it, those mutants caused such a huge commotion! They even dared to attack the Pentagon and the presidential palace?"

Hearing the FBI Director's unfriendly tone on the other end of the phone, James Duke replied gravely, "Don't worry, Director, I'll put everything on alert immediately!"

After hanging up, James Duke dialed Alexander Pierce's number.

As soon as the call connected, Duke said directly, "Pierce, you know what just happened, right?"

On the other end of the phone.

He waved his hand, signaling Sitwell to leave.

Once he was alone in the office, Alexander Pierce chuckled, "How could I not know about something this big?"

"After receiving the news, S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately dispatched personnel."

"Even Nick Fury personally led a team to the White House to provide support, ha..."

Upon hearing Pierce's words, James Duke said, "I didn't expect that even after we gathered most of the Brotherhood of Mutants, the remaining group could still cause such a commotion."

"Isn't this a good thing? Duke, you're the director of the FBI in New York, while the White House is in Washington, D.C., and the Pentagon is in Arlington, Washington—they're all in Washington."

"So this matter has nothing to do with New York. Even if the Department of Justice blames you, the director of the FBI will take the fall."

"Moreover, you might get a promotion once some people are outraged."

In response to Pierce's statement, Duke lit a cigar and said, "That's what I think too, haha, but we have to put on a show."

After hanging up, James Duke dialed another number.

Half an hour later, inside the FBI in New York.

"What exactly happened?"

Miller Field, who rushed over, saw the serious expression on the face of his supervisor, Rich Hood.

He then moved closer to Lynn and walked towards Director Duke's office, asking in a low voice.

"you do not know?"
