Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 32 Hesitation
Things are bad for mutants!
On the second day, major media in the United States reported the Liberty Island incident in detail, and the photo of the Statue of Liberty, which lost its head and torch, occupied the headlines of every edition!

The headline in the Washington Journal read, "Mutants Attack Liberty!"

The heat of the Brooklyn fire, which had finally come down, was fired again.

Professor X, who had just woken up, was hit hard and almost fainted again.

It is not that the professor has not considered the current situation.

Before Magneto's terrorist attack, the professor knew that it would cause a wave of anti-mutants, so he let Jack participate in advance, and he also wanted to use Jack's identity to downplay and cover up the incident.

But obviously, Jack failed to do that.

"Jin, what do you think we should do next?"

"Leave the United States and go to Canada to hide first." Qin replied decisively.

"No, we might be able to hide, but what about the other fellow mutants? What about them?"

Qin has no idea. In the current situation, everyone knows that human beings will introduce policies that are not conducive to mutants. When they are in danger, do the X-Men really have the spare power to help other mutants?

Seeing Qin Momo, the professor also knew that the current situation was complicated, and it was not something that could be solved with a slap on the head. He changed the subject and asked,

"How about Wolverine and Rascal?"

"Logan has woken up, and the little rascal is still asleep. But she absorbed part of Logan's mutant ability when she fell into the sea, so there should be no problem." Qin replied.

"Is there still no news from Eric?"

When the name of the old friend was mentioned, the professor showed a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"There is no news about Magneto yet, we can only confirm that he has not been caught by the New York police."

"Let's go to New Jersey first, everyone will go." The professor said solemnly.

The Old X Academy in New York is a semi-official existence. If the American government wants to take action against mutants, New York Academy will bear the brunt.

……

Jack did not go to X Academy immediately after receiving the news of the professor's awakening.

A guilty conscience is only one of the reasons, and the biggest reason is the current situation.

To put it bluntly, the current mutants in the United States are like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats them.

As a public official, for the sake of his own future, Jack is indeed not suitable to go to X Academy at present.

Jack, who thought he was a minor success, drank a little chicken blood in Philadelphia, and when he returned to New York, he was faced with a basin of ice water pouring down his face.

"Mark, what would you do if you were me?"

"I will flee back to Boston immediately." Mark had a serious expression.

"I'm not kidding you, Mark."

Jack moaned helplessly.

"Soldiers never flee the battlefield after the battle begins," Mark said loudly.

Well, this hard-as-iron character!

Mark was born into a wealthy Jewish family.However, due to conflicts with his father, Mark left home when he was young.Later, he became a boxer first, and then joined the Marine Corps. He is an upright and strong retired soldier.

Jack knew that Mark's current resentment was because he fled the battle on Liberty Island.

But Jack is also very helpless, he is a politician!
In fact, Jack still has some solutions for the current plight of mutants. The so-called blocking is worse than sparse. One of the common methods used by American politicians is to transfer conflicts.

As long as there is a more explosive news that diverts the public's attention, and the X-Men spend some blood to deal with the top management, this matter will be over.

But Jack is hesitant to help the X-Men.

In fact, Wade's bombing frightened Jack. If someone found out that he was the boss behind the scenes, although he would not be guilty of death or even go to jail, his political future would be over.

So why did Wade explode?
It's not that Jack wanted to profit from it, and then got involved in the mutant affairs.

There's no guarantee that if he meddles again, it won't cause a bigger disaster.

Just when Jack was hesitating, good news came from Boston. The control of the Daily Bugle was finally transferred to Jack's agent.

Now Jack has the mouthpiece.

Why are the top leaders of the United States not allowing the Murdoch family to participate in politics?It is really because under the American political system, the news media occupies a very important space.

A newspaper oligarch for president?

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans dared to think about it.

Therefore, Jack, who wants to enter politics, can only split with the Murdoch family, and John Murdoch would rather give Jack the shares of Stark Industries, but also withhold control of the New York Times.

In America, not every newspaper can be called a Times.

In terms of volume and audience, the New York Times is about 100 times larger than the Daily Bugle.

But in Jack's mind, the Daily Bugle is more important than the New York Times. With the advent of the superhero era, gossip tabloids like the Daily Bugle are the development trend.

At least if the future doesn't change, the Daily Bugle will have a temporary worker named Peter Parker.

And now, the Daily Bugle might also be the savior of the mutant community.

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Jack still decided to help the mutants. The so-called icing on the cake is not as good as a timely gift, so Jack decided to take another gamble.

"Mark, if I plan an operation to attack a military base in the United States, will I go to the electric chair?" Jack leaned on the back seat and asked Mark, who was driving in the front seat, faintly.

Jack's sudden words were regarded by Mark as the ravings of a neurotic attack, and he said without looking back,

"I must solemnly tell you that there is at least one fully armed company stationed in any military base in the United States. If you want to die, I will prepare a body bag for you in advance."

"Yes, there are not only heavily armed soldiers in the base, but also several powerful mutants. How should we attack?"

Jack said to himself.

This time, Ma Keli didn't want to talk to his boss who was already insane.

It's just that Mark didn't know that Jack was really trying to think about how to break through the Lake Akali base.

Under the current situation, unless Loki immediately leads the Kiritas to attack New York, the only news that can save the mutants from the whirlwind of public opinion is Colonel Stryker's persecution of the mutants.

The white left is rampant in the United States now. If they know that Stryker has conducted living research on mutants for nearly 20 years under the instructions of the American military, then the current situation will definitely be reversed.

……

While Jack was playing Stryker's idea, Colonel Stryker's troops were hunting for a wounded mutant.

In the jungle at night, darkness is everywhere.

In the silence, a slight reminder sounded.

Drop drop drop!

An American soldier in a black combat uniform is holding a compass-like machine to check the direction,

"She's on the west side, the second team is ready, the prey is already in the cage! We will move closer to you."

"Attention! You can shoot anyone acting alone, don't forget, she can take on the appearance of anyone."
