"In fact, Colonel Hendry was not only held hostage, but we have been unable to contact him, so this big shot is likely to have died at the hands of Shaw."
Charles' pupils contracted. It was obvious that things were accelerating and Xiao was increasingly unable to suppress his ambition.
They also need to speed up and gather some mutants with sufficient strength to join this war.
"I can tell you the intelligence about Xiao and several of his capable subordinates, as well as how to deal with them, but in exchange, I need a promise."
Charles slowly stood up, half of his body lying on the table, getting closer and closer to Oliver.
"I need to become a special consultant to the CIA's New Mutant Department. At the same time, my Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters will also become a special partner of your department and will be eligible for the CIA's special allowances and benefits."
There was a hint of understanding in the minister's eyes.
The Professor Charles in front of him was much smarter and more sensible than he had imagined.
The so-called allowances and welfare benefits were all fake. After all, according to the information he had obtained from intelligence, Charles Xavier had enormous industrial wealth under his name.
Even not long ago, they monitored the inflow of 100 million US dollars in liquid funds into the bank account under the name of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.
They consulted their colleagues at the tax bureau, but they couldn't find any faults at all. The tax situation of this sum of money was perfect, just like a textbook, and they had no chance of finding any faults.
Could such a billionaire, a member of the upper class, be interested in the pitiful funds of their department?
This is the identity he wanted, a special cooperation unit of the CIA. Although it was not an internal department, he was still half one of their own.
For special intelligence agencies like them, the concept of "their own people" is extremely important.
If their agents were confronted by the FBI next door, they would undoubtedly choose to help their own people.
Many times, even if they are wrong, they will never admit their mistakes. If they can't even protect their own people, who will work for you in the future?
If Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters had this level of protection, it would undoubtedly be of great help to its own living environment.
At least those media outlets that are trying to smear and criticize the company will give some face, at least they will not worry about offending them.
"Why should I agree to you, Professor?" Oliver was obviously moved, but he still maintained his airs.
"Because we are all in the same boat, Mr. Minister." Charles maintained his attitude. "After the advent of the nuclear age, perhaps due to the influence of radiation, the proportion of mutants in the human population has increased."
"With the development of the times, perhaps the number of mutants will explode one day. According to the data we have collected so far, the greater the number of mutants, the greater the possibility of the emergence of powerful individuals."
Charles took a piece of paper directly from the minister's desk and began to write and draw with the pen he carried with him.
"I can tell you some confirmed research data. Based on the known situation, we have divided mutants into five levels."
"Level one, the Ipsilon level, the lowest level of mutants. Their abilities are extremely weak, or even completely useless, and most of them will have mutated appearances, making them unable to integrate into society."
"The second level, the Delta level. Their appearance is no different from humans, and their abilities are not significant, but they are still very different from ordinary humans."
"Third level, Beta level. Their capabilities are already very strong. Even an organized army is needed to control them."
“Level 4, Alpha-level mutants possess terrifying destructive power and dominance.
They can destroy our cities in a short time. Even a metropolis like New York cannot withstand the destruction of Alpha-level mutants. Even a country may fall into chaos. "
The Minister was shocked by the data Charles presented. Most of the mutants he knew were somewhat useful, but not particularly useful.
The Alpha-level mutants that Charles mentioned were obviously completely different from what he knew.
"What about the Level 1? What abilities do Level 5 mutants have?"
"Level 5?" Charles laughed. "I have never seen a Level 5 mutant. If there is, then they might be called Omega-level mutants."
"The definition of a Level 5 mutant is actually very vague, but one thing is that they can create unlimited possibilities and do things that are impossible to do."
"Each Omega has the ability to annihilate the Earth beneath our feet. As for destroying humans, it is not a difficult task for them."
Minister Oliver was a little at a loss. He didn't know whether Professor Charles in front of him was deceiving him.
But from his personal point of view, he would rather believe that what Charles said was true.
The more important the mutant is, the more important his department is.
Charles took in every micro-expression of the man in front of him.
In fact, even if he doesn't use his ability to read minds, he can use micro-expressions, micro-movements and other details to judge a person's psychological activities. This is not difficult.
"Everything I said is true, and I'm not threatening you because it won't do me any good.
What I want to express is that as the number of mutants gradually increases, the country will inevitably pay more attention to mutants. "
"And which department has the best relationship with mutants and the deepest understanding? Naturally, it's our CIA's new Mutant Department, and it's you, Oliver."
"You have invested more than a decade of energy and time in mutants. Now, you can choose to continue to increase your investment, or stop here."
Even Luo Xi wanted to applaud Charles' speech. He learned too quickly and now understood the principles of empty promises and PUA.
He cleverly tied the interests of the mutants to Oliver's own interests.
If this is a bet, then Oliver has been betting for more than ten years and is finally starting to make a profit, so should he increase his bet?
Yes, of course, he wants to go all in!
"Professor, I admit that I am very moved, but..."
Oliver looked very embarrassed, and even Charles felt a little uneasy.
Is this fat guy really so rational? Can he calm down after hearing his extremely tempting words?
"But I congratulate you, and I agree to your terms."
Oliver suddenly changed his calm expression and smiled frankly at Charles.
call……
Charles kept his facial expression unchanged, cursing in his heart that this guy was really a joke.
Both parties stretched out their hands and shook hands vigorously, and the conditions were established.
Luo Xi stood aside and very timely took a photo of the two people shaking hands with the camera he carried with him.
After returning, they enlarged the photo, framed it, and hung it in the reception room of Charles Castle.
As for the title, it might be better to call it "Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and the CIA achieve strategic cooperation."
As the terms were negotiated, the sense of estrangement between Oliver and them was reduced a lot.
The two sides began to share the information they knew and exchange views.
"In addition to Sebastian Xiao, our target also has someone else."
"Eric Lansherr." Charles said, showing a photo of Magneto.
"He also has a blood feud with Xiao. According to our intelligence, Eric is tracking down Xiao's traces."
Oliver handed the photo to Agent Moria and asked him to check the person's situation in the Intelligence Bureau's system.
"Eric's ability is to control magnetic fields. He should be a level three mutant now, but if he can tap into the potential of his talent, he will be a level four mutant."
Luo Xi said, and he handed Oliver a tablet-sized LCD screen.
This thing is still real black technology in this era. Oliver couldn't put it down and played with it, obviously having no intention of returning it.
"But this is not Eric's limit. If he can go deeper into the microscopic world and understand the nature of magnetism, then he will be at least a level 5 mutant."
The tablet in Oliver's hand began to play a demonstration video, in which a man who manipulated the magnetic field reversed the earth's magnetic poles with just a backhand.
As the magnetic poles reverse, horrific and devastating disasters follow.
A global super-earthquake that tears apart the continental shelf, followed by giant volcanic eruptions and devastating tsunamis, is enough to easily bury the entire human civilization under endless dust.
Oliver took a deep breath, and his fat body even began to tremble and twitch.
"Oh, God……"
These are not mutants at all; perhaps it's okay to call them gods walking the earth.
Charles's explanation didn't make it so vivid at first, but now seeing the scene with his own eyes, Oliver suddenly felt that he had made the right bet.
In the face of such a powerful enemy, what are the conventional military strength, giant ships and cannons, and even nuclear weapons mounted on missiles that the superpowers are proud of?
Nuclear weapons may be able to destroy humanity, but they certainly cannot destroy the earth. Even if all the nuclear weapons of both camps are launched, the earth will not be damaged at all.
But if the mutant named Eric Lansherr can really fully master his own power, then destroying the earth will only take a thought.
Whoever can win the support of mutants will have power, because when this kind of cheating ability appears, the source of truth in human society has changed.
"In the past, the greatest truth was nuclear weapons, but now it seems that the greatest truth is Omega-level mutants who possess terrifying powers." Oliver sighed.
Luo Xi looked at Oliver's ecstatic expression and laughed in his heart.
If it were really that easy to master one's own abilities and understand the true nature of power, Omega-level mutants wouldn't be so rare.
Little did people know that the "Magneto" in the original timeline had used his abilities throughout his life to become the "Magneto King".
He didn't realize the magic of magnetism at all. He just spent his energy on working on a pile of scrap metal, but he did it to perfection.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately overturned the car, stopped the bullets, and even built an entire stadium from the ground as a place for him to show off.
"In theory, Professor X, Magneto, and even the Iceman who can reverse entropy and lower the temperature can reach the threshold of the fifth level.
But they have no systematic guidance at all, and are completely groping in the dark about their own abilities, so naturally they cannot develop to the top. "
"If the Iceman only thinks that he can create ice, then he naturally cannot touch the essence of his ability."
Luo Xi thought, but he was different. His vision was more than an order of magnitude higher than those humans who were still fighting and playing on Earth.
Completely destroying a planet might be difficult for an Alpha-level psychic in the Warhammer universe, but it is extremely easy for an Alpha+ level being.
Like Malcador the Sigillite, his psychic powers are second only to the Emperor and Magnus.
He is fully capable of extinguishing the sun in a single thought, or pulling out Titan and stuffing it into a created space-time gap to distort the flow of time therein.
"There are only a few Alpha-level or even Alpha+ mutants in the entire galaxy, but on this small Earth, the high-level mutants are so crowded that it's suffocating."
"It is confirmed that the Dark Phoenix Jean Grey has the strength of a Level 5 mutant, and Professor X, Magneto, and Iceman also have the potential to be Level 5.
Even the Black King Sebastian Shaw, who has been causing trouble, has a chance to reach the realm of Omega if he continues to delve into his own essence. "
When Xiao's title of the Black King was mentioned, Luo Xi's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
In his hometown, there really is a [King of Darkness]...
This title is really unlucky.
Even the Emperor had to fall into a deep sleep on the Golden Throne in order to prevent the Dark Lord from awakening.
