[Comprehensive British and American] Daniel Phillips

Chap.79 Red Skull

After two days of recuperation, Charles Xavier looked much better. He was wearing a dark blue suit, his legs were straight, standing at the gate of the school with Eric Lanshere, who was wearing a dark blue suit behind him. To welcome the guests.Because of the Cairo incident, the school was temporarily closed. Except for a few homeless students, all the students who attended the birthday party were members of the X-Men. The birthday party came back again, Daniel held a wine glass and looked at the familiar faces in the hall, leaning against Bucky and said: "I have seen many people here on Hydra's hunting list."

Bucky nodded silently. If Hydra knew that there was such a party here, they would definitely send someone to arrest it at their own cost.But now that Zemo is trying to get Hammer Industries, Sterak is dead, and the Red Skull is still in the ice, and even Alexander Pierce is obsessed with "Insight Project", so the mutant hunting plan has been almost completely shelved .

"Why don't you go eat?" Pietro came to them chewing gum. He was wearing a black suit and looked a lot more mature than usual. "I bought a lot of food with Wanda, and there will be more later Self-service barbecue."

Daniel smiled slightly and said, "Have you received our gift?"

"Received." Pietro sat down between Daniel and Bucky, ignoring Bucky's murderous gaze, "Those CDs are really good, I just tried them out. And running shoes, those are my favorite How do you know I like this brand?"

"Guess." Daniel winked at Bucky, telling him not to beat up the protagonist of today's party on the spot, and then said, "I think I saw Wanda looking for you, go and find out what's going on."

"I forgot about Wanda asking me to get her a Coke!" Pietro quickly stood up and disappeared in a second.

Before Bucky sat back, Charles Xavier walked over with Eric Lanshere. Daniel gave Bucky a sorry look, stood up to greet Charles and gave him a hug: "I'm very happy See you, Charles."

"It's nice to meet you too, thank you." Charles gave Daniel a hug back, which made both Bucky and Eric Lanshere look down.Charles secretly smiled before letting go of Daniel, "I heard Scott talk about what happened in Cairo, and your control over your abilities has become more and more precise."

He looked at Daniel's red eyes and faded platinum hair, and said, "Are your eyes and hair caused by excessive ability?"

"Maybe, I haven't figured it out yet." Daniel shrugged.When he woke up this morning, he found that the blood redness of his eyes had faded a lot, but he did not recover as quickly as last time. Maybe this was the reason for overusing his ability, but apart from being a little scary, it didn't give him It caused other inconvenience, so he didn't take care of it.

"Maybe I can help you." Charles Xavier put one hand on his temple and the other on Daniel's brow. He tried to help Daniel through telepathy, but found that he could no longer enter the other's brain— There was an invisible force pushing out his ability, he could only put down his hand regretfully, and said, "I can no longer read your thoughts, it's very strange."

This kind of situation usually occurs because the opponent's ability is stronger than his own. It seems that Daniel's ability has improved in the long run after the Cairo battle, which made him more firm in his previous thinking.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Seeing Charles' pensive look, Daniel asked with some doubts.

"It's just an idea I mentioned to you before, but you had already rejected me at that time." Charles Xavier looked at Daniel with sincerity, "If I send you another invitation now, will you agree? ?”

"I'm sorry, Charles. I think I'll keep my previous answer." Daniel smiled apologetically, "The X-Men are already strong enough, and I probably don't need to join them." Waiting for Bobby, Wanda, and Pietro A group of students grow up, and they can also shoulder the responsibilities of the X-Men.

"Okay." Charles Xavier pursed his lips in disappointment.

Eric Lanshere rubbed Charles's hair. After Charles was taken away, he said nothing and was unwilling to take a step away from Charles. Raven once jokingly called him the shadow of Charles. I don't deny it.Eric said, "I just saw Alex."

"He's back?" Charles was a little surprised. Alex was one of the only remaining members of the original X-Men. His return was a big surprise for Charles. "Where is he?"

"I'll take you to see him." Eric winked at Daniel and Bucky, and took Charles away.

Bucky immediately stuck to it, and he held Daniel in his arms with some displeasure, and looked fiercely at the other people who were about to walk over, as if he was swearing sovereignty.Daniel laughed and fell into Bucky's arms. He raised his head and kissed Bucky's chin, and said, "Let's go eat."

Hank and Pietro have already set up several simple barbecue grills outdoors. Chicken wings, sausages and various steaks have been marinated. Fresh corn and fruits have been placed on the racks, and there are unlimited supplies Soda and milk tea, Daniel was about to get some steak for Bucky, but he heard the sound of the propeller turning of the plane. He put down the plate in his hand and looked into the distance. As expected, he saw several military helicopters flying over.

"Something's wrong." Bucky came to Daniel's side immediately.

Daniel nodded calmly. He diffused his mental power and quickly read the thoughts of the people in the helicopter.Charles Xavier obviously did the same thing with Daniel, and they looked at each other, realizing the complexity of the matter.

"Hank, bring everyone back to the building," Charles said.

"They were sent by Kelly Robert." Daniel said to Bucky, "It's not easy for him to persuade people from the military to cooperate with him and come with the military."

Kelly Robert is a well-known anti-mutant congressman. He has repeatedly lobbied Congress to pass the "Mutant Registration Act" but has always failed. I don't know what kind of purpose he came here this time.

Hank and Ruiwen have brought several students who stayed at the school to the safe haven, and they quickly returned here to face this group of unkind people with Charles and others.

The helicopter stopped on the lawn soon, and Kelly Robert was the first to step out of the plane. He had short golden brown hair and brown eyes with brown frames on the bridge of his nose. He looked honest and trustworthy.But everyone present knew that he had an eloquent tongue, and many people in Congress became hostile to mutants under his lobbying.

"Nice to meet you." Kelly Robert glanced at everyone, and finally pointed at Charles, "Especially you, Professor X. I can often see your name in the documents of the CIA and FBI , you are a person worthy of respect, but if I'm not mistaken, the one behind you should be the notorious wanted criminal Eric Lanshel. Why, has the Xavier School for Gifted Youth already started to cover up prisoners? "

"This is a private estate, and you have no right to trespass." Charles Xavier said, looking at the row of soldiers with guns behind Kelly Robert.

"In fact, we have already obtained approval for this operation." Kelly Robert motioned his assistant Henry to show the search warrant presented by the court. The mutants are your students. I now extremely suspect that you are related to this incident, the school needs to be closed immediately, and you all need to be investigated!"

"Should I accept the investigation or accept the inhuman experiment?" Daniel quickly checked everyone's thoughts when Charles was talking to Kelly Robert. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Kelly Robert with hostility. "How much money did Hammer Industries pay you, and you actually reached an agreement with them, regardless of the regulations that public officials cannot accept bribes, to send mutants to Hammer Industries' new laboratory in New Jersey?"

Kelly Robert's complexion changed drastically. He did accept political donations from Hammer Industries for next year's presidential election, and the amount was not small.But these things were all done in secret. He even ignored Henry and went to the meeting alone. The other party just asked to arrest the mutants in the school and hand them over to him. The incident in Cairo just happened to give him an excuse to attack , but I didn't expect that the deal between myself and Hammer Industries would be known by the other party.

Bucky realized when Daniel mentioned "Hammer Industries", this should not be done by the head of Hammer Industries, it is most likely Zemo.But Zemo was not that interested in mutant experiments. What caused him to suddenly change his mind?

"If you want to attack, then go ahead." Ruiwen tore off the skirt that was in the way, and stood behind Charles with her arms folded. "Don't use the Cairo incident as an excuse."

Daniel was still flipping through Kelly Robert's thoughts quickly. He quietly sneaked into the other party's subconscious, and finally found the memory of his private meeting with the people from Hammer Industries that night.That person has been hiding himself in a corner so that no one can easily see his appearance.But Daniel felt that the figure of this person was somewhat different from that of Zemo. He was taller and thinner than Zemo. He seemed to be in poor health. He coughed violently several times during the conversation with Kelly Robert. And the moment he pulled out the handkerchief, he exposed his hand to Kelly Robert's eyes.

It was a hand that was no different from a skeleton, and Daniel could even see the red skin on the back of the opponent's hand in a flash.He quickly withdrew his thoughts, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "It's the Red Skull."
