Chapter 60
Chapter 60 The Beginning of Chaos
Just when everyone fell into deep thought because of the professor’s words.
Outside the door, a staff member knocked on the door.
After being signaled by the professor, the staff walked in and whispered, “Professor, Mr. Hank is here and is waiting for you in your office.”
“Hank, isn’t he working in the White House.” Professor X was a little surprised.
Hank. McCoy, one of the first X-Men, but more adept at scientific research, met Professor X decades ago.
But now he is no longer X-Men, but in the official United States, as the Minister of Mutant affairs, responsible for dealing with Mutant affairs in the society.
A simple analogy is the cabinet minister.
Knowing that Hank will come without incident, Professor X gave a slight pause and announced the end of the project.
Then he went to the office with the push of the staff.
Watching the professor leave, Chen Tian rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
“It’s only been three days of peace.”
He knew that the purpose of Hank’s visit this time was to persuade the professor, and the X-Men, to support the official Mutant cure bill that the United States was about to start.
For the countless Mutants around the world who are hidden in the dark, or exposed on the bright side.
Professor X, who has always been committed to protecting Mutant and helping Mutant fight for a living space, X-Men is their spiritual pillar.
If they can be persuaded, then the Mutant medicine will be launched smoothly this time.
What made Chen Tian painful was that he didn’t want the situation to develop so fast, and he wanted the so-called antidote to be researched later.
In this way, the biggest conflict between Mutant and ordinary people will not break out, and he will have more time to develop in a low-key manner.
In the professor’s office, the joy of not seeing good friends for a long time also disappeared with the appearance of Hank’s Mutant potion.
“There is a pharmaceutical company that has developed antibodies that can inhibit the mutant gene,” said Hank, a burly man in a suit with blue skin and hair.
“And it claims to be permanent, known as the Mutant antidote.”
In an instant, everyone’s faces changed, including Professor X, because everyone knew that things were serious.
Storm’s eyes turned cold: “An antidote, it’s ridiculous, when did we become sick?”
Because he has been oppressed because of Mutant since he was a child, Storm actually has a vague hostility and rejection to ordinary society.
He is very concerned about his identity as a Mutant and his fellow Mutants.
So she was a little angry and agitated when she learned that those people saw them as patients who needed to be treated.
But unfortunately, Professor X is very clear that this time Hank was sent by the President of the United States to seek their opinions, more of a notification.
Because they agree or disagree, they can’t stop the drug from being marketed.
The final office meeting broke up.
It didn’t take long for the school to spread the news of Mutant’s potion, and the school suddenly became noisy.
This news means a lot to all Mutants.
Some students who had been unhappy because of their Mutant status were delighted when they learned that they could become ordinary people through medicine.
Some students, who are accustomed to the power of Mutant and have been hurt, are afraid that once they are enforced, they will lose their strength to rely on.
At the side of the venue, Clarice said with some concern: “West, are you saying that potion is real?”
Chen Tian, who folded his arms and basked in the sun on a chair, said lazily, “It should be true. As for whether it will be permanent or not, I am not sure. Anyway, I don’t believe it.”
The brunette girl was a little nervous: “Then, will you choose to use it?”
“Why use it?”
Chen Tian looked at her strangely: “Are you dissatisfied with your Mutant Ability?”
The black-haired girl was silent for a while, and then whispered: “Although my Ability is not strong, I like it very much, but my identity as a Mutant also makes me rejected by everyone.”
Seeing that she was a little tangled, Chen Tian couldn’t help asking: “Clarice, do you think I reject you?”
“No.” The girl shook her head.
“Do your classmates reject you?”
The girl continued to shake her head.
Chen Tian shrugged: “That’s not right, since the friends around you don’t reject you, why should you care about the opinions of those irrelevant people in the world.”
“And even after taking the Mutant potion and turning back into ordinary people, Mutants are still different from ordinary people because they once had power.”
“As long as you are human, you have selfishness, greed and inferiority. I’m ashamed.”
“So we chase power, money, and naturally super power.”
“When these once-powerful Mutants lose their power to protect themselves, it is very likely that they will become a research target for some people.”
“The results speak for themselves.”
Chen Tian’s words made Clarice pale.
In fact, for Chen Tian, Mutant’s Ability did not affect him too much.
His core is still the power of Krypton that can be strengthened by the sun.
But he never believed in the promises of others, and his fate must be in his own hands so that he would not be controlled by others.
Just when the Xavier Academy became a little chaotic because of the Mutant drug, with the release of the antidote news, the whole world was buzzing.
Especially many people who are proud of the power of Mutant have become even more uneasy.
Because it means that the United States has the means to take their power away, not all Mutants hate their Mutant identity and power.
Instead, many Mutants enjoy and are proud of the convenience brought to them by supernatural powers.
