Chapter 337 Aborted Action
"Everyone!"
"I think after these few days of getting along and developing our abilities, everyone has become familiar with each other's cooperation."
"Next, we will face a severe test. Of course, from a certain perspective, it is also a test of your ability during this period of time."
"If it passes, you will all be the heroes of peace in this world."
"Of course, if we fail to pass, the outcome will be obvious. The enemy will not give us a chance to survive."
"So, everyone, do you still have the option to quit now?!"
"Don't worry, we won't blame you."
"After all, this is a choice between life and death. It's normal to be afraid and shrink."
On the other side, in a luxurious manor, at this moment, Charles looked at the group of young people in front of him who were about his own age and came from all over the world. He rarely said something that made Eric on the side feel... If in doubt.
After all, seeing that the war was about to begin, it would be fine if we didn't say something to boost morale.
He even said the words to quit here.
At this moment, if the other person was not his friend, Eric would have wanted to open the other person's brain to see if there was any tofu inside.
"Charles, you are looking down on us too much."
“Our training during this time is not a performance.”
"After suffering for so long and preparing for so long, if I chicken out at this moment, I don't think I will ever forgive myself in this life."
After hearing what Charles said, the Siren at this time - Sean Cassidy couldn't help but smile.
Because of Killian's intervention, the current X-Men team of Charles can be said to be unprecedentedly united.
And because there was no interference from Sebastian Xiao and the others, the original angel did not defect, and Darwin did not die.
Therefore, the entire team has not suffered any blow. It can be said that at this moment, Charles' team is like a newly sharpened sword.
"Yes! Such an interesting thing, if you miss it, you won't encounter it next time."
"Charles, don't think about leaving us behind to become a hero and take advantage of the glory."
After Cassidy finished speaking, Alex stood up and spoke enthusiastically.
"I promised to be a hero, but running away in the middle of battle is not the hero I imagined."
Darwin, who is half-African and half-Latino, stood up and spoke at this moment.
After all, he had always been regarded as a freak by his family before, and was kicked out before he reached adulthood. It can be said that he has suffered countless looks and bullying since he was a child.
It is precisely because of this that he cherishes the days of living with his true "kind" even more.
If he gave up halfway, he would not forgive himself.
"very good!"
"Then let's fight side by side together!"
After seeing that every teammate present did not choose to retreat, at this moment, Charles looked at everyone on the battlefield with great joy and pride, and then nodded with satisfaction and spoke to everyone.
"Eric, what about you?!"
"Is there anything else to say?"
After speaking to everyone present, Charles also looked at Eric, who had already put on his combat uniform, and then asked.
After all, this team was technically founded by the two of them.
In this case, Charles also wanted the other party to show his face.
He has even thought about it. From now on, he will be responsible for maintaining the rear area at home, while Eric will be responsible for leading the team outside.
Gather more 'family' back here.
"No."
After hearing what Charles said and looking at everyone present, Eric shook his head and said.
For these people, for some reason, Charles still felt a sense of alienation.
It may be a personality difference, or it may be a matter of work style.
Charles still felt very constrained.
"Okay! In that case, let's take action from now on!"
"The target is New York. What we have to do this time is to bring Sebastian Xiao to justice. We must not let his conspiracy succeed."
After hearing Eric's words, although he didn't know why the other party didn't speak, Charles nodded, then turned his head and said to everyone present.
Immediately, when everyone was getting ready to start heading towards the plane not far away, a sudden and anxious footsteps began to rush towards the front door.
"Charles! Action suspended."
"The plan has changed, and the operation may be postponed this time."
In the midst of everyone's doubtful gazes, at this moment, Maura Marktag was running over from the gate eagerly. Even the moment she saw Charles, she said loudly .
He was afraid that they would run away if they were too late.
"Why?!"
After hearing Maura's words, at this moment, before Charles could speak, Eric, who already had a bad look on his face, stood up directly and spoke.
After all, he had been holding back for more than half a month in order to deal with Sebastian Xiao's plan this time.
If he continued to delay, he might as well have acted alone in the first place.
At this moment, although the other young team members did not refute directly like Eric, looking at their frowning faces, Mora knew that if she could not come up with a reason this time, these mutants would not be easy to deal with.
But after all, it was an order from above, and as the hub of both sides, she had to say it.
"This is an order personally issued by John Melvin Sparks, the director of the CIA."
"One reason is that Sebastian Shaw is now in New York, which is the global economic center. The destination of this operation, the company opened by Sebastian Shaw and others, is next to Wall Street. It goes without saying how important it is. All military operations need to be carried out with great caution."
"If something goes wrong, no one can take the responsibility."
"So the director personally asked us to cancel this operation. The specific needs will be negotiated later."
After facing Eric's unfriendly look, Mora paused, then looked at everyone present, especially looked at Charles with a pleading look, wanting him to help stabilize the situation, and then spoke.
"Heh! Let's negotiate later. How long will it take?"
"If Sebastian Shaw stays in New York for the rest of his life, will we never be able to deal with him in our lifetime?"
After hearing Mora's words, Eric couldn't help but laugh, and then spoke.
After all, now that they were about to start dealing with Sebastian Shaw, this pig teammate actually backed off at the critical moment.
If that shitty director hadn't been standing in front of Eric, he would have opened the other party's skull to see how big the dog brain inside was.
As for Eric's words, at this moment, Maura had nothing to say.
After all, she had raised the same question when she first received the order, but she was dealt with by the leader for the overall situation.
And now, she obviously couldn't reply to the other party with the same reason.
After all, no one present was a fool.
If their action plan was not passed by the CIA for this reason at the beginning, then everything would be fine.
Now the key to everything is that since you agreed at the beginning, it means that this point is not true at all, and why should the action be suspended now.
All of this is very meaningful.
But Maura certainly couldn't say all this.
After all, no matter how big she is, she is just a CIA secret agent engaged in mutant research.
She could only convey the meaning of the above.
"Eric, calm down first."
"The current situation is..."
After seeing that Mora was helpless, Charles on the side also knew the complexity of the current situation, and then turned to persuade Eric.
After all, in the current situation, since the CIA, which represents the US government, has said so, they can only stop for the time being even if they are unwilling.
After all, their name is still under the CIA.
"Calm down?! Who can calm down?"
"We have been training hard for half a month, looking for teammates and training for what?!"
"Isn't it just to deal with Sebastian Shaw?!"
"How much effort and sweat have we put in in the past half a month."
"Now the action is about to begin."
"But at the critical moment, you just told me to pause?"
"I said it directly, this is impossible!!"
After hearing Charles trying to persuade him, Eric got angry in an instant, and the whole person turned away the other party's hand and spoke angrily.
After all, for Eric now, the training and hard work during this period are all for facing Sebastian Shaw.
Defeat him and then take revenge.
The reason why he chose to join Charles' team is also for this.
Because they all have a common enemy.
But now, if this common enemy is gone, for Eric, he might as well become a lone wolf like at the beginning.
"Calm down! Eric!"
"We don't want to see this."
"And we are your teammates. Didn't we just say that we are a team?"
"We are each other's solid backers."
"Anyway, let's calm down first. Let me handle everything. I will give you an explanation, okay?!"
After looking at the manic Eric in front of him, Charles tried his best to speak to him gently at this moment to stabilize Eric's emotions.
After all, the other party is also his long-time friend, and he doesn't want him to go astray.
After hearing what Charles said, Eric didn't say much. He just glanced at Mora coldly, and then walked towards a corner not far away in a huff, and then sat down like this.
Although the action was suspended, it was only for a while at most.
If Charles couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he decided to go by himself.
Before that, it depends on how Charles explains it to him.
"Mora, what's the situation now?"
"Why did the Intelligence Bureau agree so well, but now they suddenly regret it?"
"You also know that the efforts of my teammates and I over this period of time, if we just stop without reason, it will not convince us."
After watching Eric calm down again, Charles also looked at Mora in front of him. Even if they have a good impression of each other on these major events, Charles is also responsible for his team, so he still asked seriously.
"To be honest, I don't know the specific reason."
"But... According to my intelligence, Sebastian Shaw and his team did not stay still in New York this time. On the contrary, they made a lot of moves. They not only opened a new company, but also launched many epoch-making cutting-edge technology products."
"And these have also entered the sight of the top American officials."
"Just when I came here, Sebastian Shaw and his team went to see Mr. Roosevelt."
After hearing Charles' words, Mora, who knew that she could not hide it from the other party no matter what, finally hesitated for a while and said hesitantly.
To be honest, at the beginning, when she just got the news, she felt that the world was crazy.
The villain who originally wanted to start a war and destroy the world did not destroy the world, but instead started to build his own company to develop technological products.
If Charles and his team had not been in the base all this time, and Sebastian Shaw and his team had never come here, she would even suspect that the other party was brainwashed by Charles.
After all, all this is too weird.
"A groundbreaking cutting-edge technological product?!"
"Met with Mr. Roosevelt?!"
"Is it the Roosevelt I thought of?!"
After hearing what Mora said, at this moment, even Charles couldn't help but be shocked by the information provided by the other party, and then couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Yes, that's the Roosevelt you're thinking of."
"Among the four major American families, the Roosevelt family is as famous as the Adams, Kennedy and Bush families."
"The last President Roosevelt was re-elected for four terms. It can be said that the current Roosevelt family is truly a powerful presence in the United States."
"And the patriarch of the Roosevelt family is the one who met Sebastian Shaw and the others."
After meeting Charles' shocked eyes, Mora couldn't help but nodded, and then spoke.
After all, although the current Roosevelt family has just ended their re-election, their influence can be said to still be spread throughout the United States. (End of this chapter)
