Xavier.

Sitting in Charles' office with folded arms, Tony said with a very bad expression, "What? Say it again!"

"Sorry, Tony." Charles looked at Tony apologetically, and said, "I can't let you see Johnson's information. This is his dying wish. I swear to protect him forever."

"What if I have to watch it?" Tony stared at Charles, "Let me tell you the truth, this person is very likely to be related to my current situation."

Charles stared at Tony, was silent for a while, and said, "I can tell you what you want to know, but I won't unlock his information."

Tony stood up suddenly, looked at Charles, sneered, and said, "Do you think I can't crack your ghost permission setting?"

Charles looked at Tony calmly, and said, "You can crack it, but I hope you don't, Tony."

Tony snorted and said, "Oh, you think I'll listen to you because you want me not to do it? No, it's impossible! Since you won't show it, it's okay, I'll always find a way!"

"Tony!" Charles said with a serious look in his eyes, "Don't do that!"

"Oh, I just want to do this!" Tony stood up suddenly, clapped his hands on Charles' desk, stared at him and said slowly: "If you are in the same situation as me, believe me, you will do whatever you can, and I won't consider any bullshit oath! Besides, that's your oath, what does it have to do with me?"

Charles looked at Tony silently.

Tony looked back at Charles without showing any sign of weakness, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Nothing to say?"

Charles smiled and said, "His information won't help you find the reason for possession. But..."

"What?" Tony raised his eyebrows, feeling very impatient because of Charles's gasping way of speaking, "Can't you finish it in one breath?"

"Sorry, Tony, I think you have to forgive a 90-year-old man for speaking fast." Charles looked at Tony with a smile and said unhurriedly.

Tony gave a "do you think I'm crazy" look in his eyes and said, "No one would think you're a fucking 90-year-old man looking at you the way you are now, so you better not mention this to me."

Charles laughed, leaning comfortably on the back of his wheelchair, clasped his hands on his stomach, and said, "Need I remind you? I suggested to you that if you were really jealous of me the way you were, you could ask Rui Becca makes you younger too."

The corner of Tony's mouth twitched and said, "I don't need it! I think your old friend who is planning a big event needs it!"

"Oh, you mean Eric?" Charles smiled slyly, "If he needs it, he doesn't need to say it himself. Rebecca should be happy to do something for her father."

Tony looked at Charles' calm expression in displeasure, and thought that he shouldn't talk about his age with this cunning old guy. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I don't have time to worry about your old friend changing." Get younger. You just said the Johnson profile is useless to me, go ahead!"

"That's right, Johnson's information is of no help to you," Charles stared at Tony, who was getting agitated. "I think what you need to know is the cause of Johnson's death."

"What?" Tony frowned, looked at Charles, and said, "You mean, his death was abnormal?"

Charles nodded.

Tony stared silently at Charles, who sat back down in his chair and said, "So, he's *masked keyword*?"

"Johnson's family was notified by the police that they should have been drinking too much." Charles' face became slightly sad, "However, that's not the case."

Tony stared at Charles without saying a word.

Charles raised his eyes, met Tony's gaze, and said, "The night before his accident, I received a request from him, asking me to help him lock all his information into the x-file and never unlock it, because he didn't want to His family knows the truth."

Tony narrowed his eyes and said, "He doesn't want his family to know what the truth is?"

"Hydra," Charles replied simply.

Tony laughed suddenly, and he said with a mocking tone: "That damn old villain organization, Steven and I have almost cleaned up all their strongholds, but this is like a giant worm that is dead but not stiff." , There will always be some moths when you don't care, huh, I really seem to underestimate them." He looked at Charles, thought for a while, and asked, "Why did they kill Johnson?"

Charles shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Tony, I don't know."

"I don't know?" Tony raised his eyebrows, "I thought you were friends!"

Charles lowered his eyes, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes, that's right, but you know what state I was in three years ago, don't you?"

Tony was silent. The Charles three years ago was not sitting in Xavier now. At that time, Charles was more like a crazy old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, a delirious /weapon/weapon .

"Johnson and his circus have helped many mutants." Charles said slowly, "His granddaughter inherited the circus. As far as I know, although there are not many large-scale performances throughout the year since she took over, but That kind girl also inherited her grandfather's behest, and is still helping those mutants driven out by humans."

Tony was slightly surprised and said, "Are you sure? That little girl seems to only keep a warehouse of animals." What kind of mutant?He didn't see a single one!

Charles smiled and said with a hint of sadness, "Really? Well, maybe my sources of information are wrong." He paused. "Tony!"

"Speak directly!" Tony looked at Charles, he couldn't stand such a sad Professor X, "What else do you want to say?"

"Don't tell her the truth," Charles said.

Tony smiled and didn't answer anything. He turned and walked towards the door of the office. When he opened the door, he turned his head to look at Charles and said, "Karin Barnum...does she know you? "

Charles shook his head and said, "No, she doesn't."

Tony nodded and walked out of Charles' office.

Princeton.

After cleaning the warehouse, Karin carried a large bag of garbage and walked towards the row of garbage bins on the side of the road.

At this moment, a black Lamborghini roared and sped towards the warehouse.

Karin glanced at the car and thought, a local tyrant is a local tyrant, but where did Tony come from?She stuffed the garbage in her hand into the trash can, turned her head and walked towards the Lamborghini that had stopped at the warehouse door.

The door of the Lamborghini opened and a man got out, but it wasn't Tony.

Karin was taken aback.

Bruce Wayne smiled at Karin and said, "Hi Karin!"

Karin walked up to Bruce and said, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Bruce."

Bruce looked at Karin and said, "You shouldn't be so surprised."

"Oh, that's because..." Karin paused, forget it, or don't tell Bruce, she was surprised not because she saw him appear, but because she thought it was Tony who came back, but it turned out not! "Well, I just didn't expect you to appear here."

Bruce smiled, turned his head to look towards the warehouse, and said, "Is your circus in there?"

"Well! Yes!" Karin nodded and replied.

Bruce looked at Karin, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Can I take a tour?"

"Yes, of course!" Karin made an inviting gesture towards the warehouse, "But don't be intimidated."

"Scared? Are you talking about me?" Bruce asked with a smile.

Karin glanced at Bruce, smiled too, and said, "Oh, sorry, I forgot, Batman shouldn't be easily scared."

The corner of Bruce's mouth curled, and he followed Karin slowly towards the warehouse. He stopped when he reached the warehouse door.

Karin turned to look at Bruce and said innocently, "You probably haven't seen a circus backstage without a cage, have you?"

"Indeed, but don't say I haven't seen the backstage of the circus, I haven't even seen the front stage performance of the circus." Bruce looked at the animals that were moving freely in the warehouse and replied with a smile.

Karin looked at Bruce suspiciously, and asked, "Is it true? You haven't even seen a circus show? Didn't your parents take you to see it when you were young?"

Bruce looked back at Karin, the smile on his face faded, and he said softly, "Did I tell you that my parents died when I was very young?"

Karin took a note and said apologetically, "I'm sorry!"

Bruce smiled and said, "Because I haven't seen a circus show, I'm looking forward to seeing your circus show in Gotham."

"Huh? Gotham?" Karin didn't react, she looked at Bruce puzzled, wait, what did he mean?She hesitated for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Are you here to invite my circus to perform in Gotham?"

Bruce stared at the surprised Karin, hummed, and said gently, "Yes, that's why I came here."

"Wow!" Karin laughed, "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Bruce said with great certainty, "I would like to invite you and your circus troupe to Gotham for a week-long circus performance for the anniversary of the Wayne Group, would you like to?"

Karin looked at Bruce, his handsome face was filled with a smile as dazzling as today's sunshine, she was a little dazed, a week of circus performances!God!is this real?She couldn't believe it.

"Hey, don't you want to?" Bruce looked at Karin who hadn't answered him for a long time, and asked, "Or, you think Gotham's security is not very good... so you have doubts?"

Karin still didn't speak when she heard the words. She moved her eyes away from Bruce's face and turned to look at the friends in the warehouse. They all looked towards her with great concern when they heard Bruce's words. .

Bruce stared at Karin.

Karin smiled at them, turned her head, looked at Bruce, and said with a smile: "No, of course I would like to! However, I really didn't expect...you would come here to invite us, you are completely You can send an assistant or something, can't you?"

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood me." Bruce said jokingly, "I don't have an assistant, so I can only come here to invite myself."

"I don't really believe what you say." Karin shrugged. "You're not the owner of a canteen. You don't have an assistant? Didn't you say you have an assistant? That..." Joseph who was tied to the helicopter by Tony and the others.

Bruce laughed when he heard this. He looked at the animals who were looking at him curiously, and said, "I do not have an assistant. Joseph is my assistant, but he is not my assistant. However, I have a housekeeper." He directed Karin rolled her eyes, "By the way, Alfred knows I'm here, and he seems to be looking forward to it."

"Who is Alfred?" Karin asked suspiciously.
