CHAPTER 425 EXHAUSTED

New York, the top floor of Stark Industries building, Tony who just returned from Washington SHIELD headquarters is preparing to rest. Tony has been looking for Lin Rui for two days without any getting any rest.

Lin Rui’s parents also contacted Tony during the day today and wanted to ask when Lin Rui would come home. After all, even if Lin Rui came to Tony to do an “Experiment” before, he would call home, but this time he couldn’t be reached. Reminiscent of the previous attack, Lin Rui’s parents were very worried about the safety of their son.

Regarding Lin Rui’s parents’ inquiry, Tony can only say that they are now conducting a very confidential experiment, which is completely closed off and Lin Rui is unable to contact the outside world. Lin Rui’s parents also accepted this interpretation, after all, Tony Stark had said it himself.

However, Tony knew that he was giving a promise and he was under a lot of pressure. If Lin Rui was not found in the end, or if he had died with Red Skull when he found him, then the impact on Lin Rui’s parents would be too great. However, Tony couldn’t help it, he couldn’t believe that Lin Rui would die with the likes of Red Skull.

Moreover, the establishment of the Earth Federation was proposed by Lin Rui. Although Lin Rui’s League of Defender seems to be a relatively weak force, Tony knew that Lin Rui played an important role in it. If there were no Lin Rui then Tony and other people would still work hard to achieve this goal, but they might not be so well coordinated with each other.

“JARVIS, if there is any news about Jackson, inform me immediately.” Before taking a break, Tony said to JARVIS.

In order to find Lin Rui, Tony has used 100% resources of the Stark Industries. Tony Stark would continue to look for Mirage Knight and Red Skull as long as he could. To this end, Tony also spent a lot of money. Of course, in order to find Lin Rui, these things are worth it.

“Yes, sir.” Hearing Tony’s words, JARVIS responded calmly.

After that, Tony had fallen asleep as he was too tired. As for JARVIS, it is also constantly looking for the latest news of Mirage Knight in the network of the whole world. JARVIS’s abilities after his Self-Upgrading seems to have improved again. In the Sea World of the Internet, JARVIS is like a free Whale constantly acquiring all kinds of information, then analyzing and finally summarizing them.

“Jackson, if you are still alive, where are you now?” Constantly analyzing the news about Mirage Knight on the Internet, a question was raised in the core structure of JARVIS.

…

While Tony was still struggling to find the missing Lin Rui and Red Skull, Professor Charles was talking with some of the X-Men in an office at the some Junior College, away from New York. Iceman, who was completely injured last time, also sat in the chair with a serious expression on his face.

“Well, I have also checked their situation and they’ve been affected by hallucinations created by a Mutant with Mind Abilities, and they continue to be controlled by the hypnosis. So, in order not to cause secondary damage to their consciousness, we will take it slow.” Hearing Storm’s report, Professor Charles, sitting in his wheelchair behind his desk, answers calmly.

After personally checking the situation of those Mutants, Professor Charles noticed the ability of a very powerful Mutant with Mind Related Abilities, and that person’s Mutant level should be very high. Professor Charles’ strength lies in the direct control of the mind through telepathy and the control of thinking process and that person’s ability should be to use illusion to achieve a direct purpose and that person’s Mutant ability is also very powerful and that person is at least not any weaker than Charles.

Professor Charles thought it was familiar that such a powerful Mental Class Mutant who is also good at making illusion, but he couldn’t remember it for a while. However, that powerful Mutant should not belong to Hydra. The most likely scenario is that Mutant belongs to a Mutant organization that is related to Hydra.

It’s not that Professor Charles hasn’t suspected the Mutants Brotherhood led by Magneto, but with Charles’ understanding of the Mutants Brotherhood, there is no such powerful Mutant who can control people there. In order to prevent Charles’s telepathy, Magneto wears that special helmet all the time, and if Magneto had such a Mutant in his rank then Charles wouldn’t have been able to find them.

So Professor Charles knows a lot about the people Magneto has around him. Charles is sure Magneto doesn’t have such a powerful Mental Mutants around him.

“Blink hasn’t found the pair of siblings on their side yet. They seem to be hiding.” After Professor Charles answers, Storm reports another situation.

In the previous combat against Hydra, the brother and sister duo directly confronted and intercepted X-Men during the battle. After the fight, Scarlet Witch was injured. Quicksilver wouldn’t have had much of a chance to take her away if she hadn’t been so desperate to knock the X-men off.

Although the outbreak of Scarlet Witch’s power allowed them to flee for a while, Professor Charles’s Mental Strength had already locked on them. At that time, Blink, Colossus, and Path Finder were sent after them. This chase lasted a whole day and just when Quicksilver was about to lose his strength, Scarlet Witch, who had already recovered some of her abilities, broke out with her powers again and shattered the Mental Lock Professor Charles has placed on them and then Quicksilver burst out with his final power to take them away instantly.

In this way, Blink and the other two who had been chasing them for a whole day finally lost the trace of the two brother and sister. Although the Blink trio continued to search for a while but they found nothing and it seems that the pair had escaped.

“At that time, my Mental Lock was dissipated and I knew they would escape. For this pair of siblings, we will need to pay attention to their movement.” Charles still cares about the pair. After all, their abilities are very strong, and the two of them went against Six X-Men and they were able to escape.

“What about Mirage Knight? Can’t we do something?” After listening to Professor Charles’s words about the operation, Iceman sitting in the corner finally couldn’t help but speak.

Hearing Iceman’s words, the current X-Men in the office fell silent. The X-Men is very fond of this Vigilante who has a good relationship with Mutants and doesn’t discriminate against them. However, in the present case, the only people who believe that Mirage Knight is alive are Iron Man and Spiderman.

“Robert, we can’t do anything about that. I have also used Cerebro to find Mirage Knight, but I have not found him.” Knowing that Iceman and Mirage Knight were good friends, Professor Charles replied after a few seconds of silence.

Professor Charles also regretted Mirage Knight’s death. After all, Mirage Knight brought Professor Charles into the group that would form the Earth Federation. If Mirage Knight really sacrificed himself then Professor Charles feels that this great goal might have problems in the early stages.

“I won’t believe that he died like that!” With a dissatisfied sigh, Iceman had pushed the door and left the office alone. Shadowcat saw her boyfriend like this, so she followed him.

Watching Iceman leave, Professor Charles was expressionless. Now X-Men and the entire Mutant ethnic group need a change and Professor Charles must be prepared to lead this change. Regardless of whether Mirage Knight died or not, Professor Charles had decided not to remain silent anymore.
