Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

According to Bruce's information, X-Men leader Charles Xavier was born in the 40s, active in the 60s of the last century, and is now over half a century old.

But no matter who it is, when they see this mutant leader for the first time, they will still think that the man in front of him is only in his early forties.

His appearance is extremely handsome, and the cruelty and wisdom of the years are deposited in the misty and deep eyes. This kind of weather-beaten complexity is mixed with a calmness that sees through everything, which is extremely eye-catching.

Time really loves him, his appearance just stays at the peak of a man's most attractive, coupled with the complex temperament and gentle smile on his face - even the superman who is called the national boyfriend Nothing compares to him.

However, when he "saw" Vera walking towards her direction led by the angel, and the faces of Superman and Batman behind them turned black and remained silent, this professor who looked calm and dignified turned aside. He turned his head, and laughed smugly without any image.

"professor!"

Qin, who was standing beside him, called Charles helplessly.

She was afraid that the Justice League would open the door and walk in to see this scene, so she released her ability to "look" outside... Then, she also stopped.

Let's not talk about the angel walking in the front.

Qin first "heard" Vera's inner voice, and she was silent for a while.

Then she "heard" Batman's voice again, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Finally, after "hearing" Superman's voice, Qin not only twitched the corners of her mouth, but also twitched the corners of her eyes, with a subtle and speechless expression on her face.

... These three, not these two men! !

Like Charles, Jyn struggled and only managed to calm down before the other party arrived.

However, when Vera looked over, she couldn't help but froze all over, and she looked away as if avoiding, unwilling to meet the other person's gaze.

"Hello, see you again."

Vera withdrew her gaze, and passed the word "again" in her mouth meaningfully, "Should I call you Ms. Jean Gray, or Phoenix Lady?"

"……I'm very sorry."

Qin's voice was very dry, "I didn't mean to manipulate you, I just didn't expect—"

Halfway through the speech, it seemed that he had sensed what Qin wanted to express. Bruce, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked over. He moved away as if nothing had happened, and stood on the right side of Vera in a guardian posture, looking at Qin with serious eyes. Incredible.

"..."

Suddenly reading Batman's strong and solemn voice, Jean froze.

At that time, Jean Gray was still very young, and she was not proficient in mastering abilities. She had not joined the X-Men for a long time.

As a telepath, she has always been in the role of collecting intelligence and covering the actions of the main troops. Counting the full force, this is the second time she has been on a mission alone.

The destination of her first mission was Gotham. At that time, she was going to pick up a mutant child, but unfortunately ran into Batman-this man's willpower was extremely strong, and Jean was surprised Find out that some of her control abilities don't work on Batman!

Unlike Professor Charles, Jean's abilities are not under her control.

When confronting Bruce face to face, her ability made her instantly perceive all the past experiences and painful memories of the man.

After experiencing those sad emotions, Qin Haoxuan has been closed to herself, and has been keeping away from Batman and Gotham ever since.

After finally calming down, the second time I went out on a mission independently, I met Vera Senna again==

The damn, uncontrolled synaesthesia kicked in again, and all of Vera's past experiences repeated themselves in Jean's mind.

Qin almost lost his composure on the spot again.

What she didn't expect was that during the interview process, Vera was clearly controlled by her ability, but she could react suddenly at the last moment!

You know, Vera herself is an ordinary person, she should have been defenseless when she met her, and she should have been more ignorant than Batman at that time.

However, she was able to find out what was wrong with herself without losing control!

Frustrated twice in a row, Qin's eyes on Batman and Vera became extremely complicated.

... Are these two people monsters?

Seeing Qin's performance, Professor Charles couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Although he had already learned part of the truth from Qin, when Vera and Bruce really stood in front of him, the professor who had experienced countless vicissitudes and joys and sorrows, still couldn't help but feel sorry for the two in front of him. Sighing over the past.

He waved Jean to leave first, first apologized frankly to Vera, took the responsibility on himself, and then stated that the X-Men did not have any malicious intentions, but just wanted to talk to Vera.

I have to say that Professor Charles' affinity is almost perfect. After a sincere apology and introspection, even the vengeful and narrow-minded Vera didn't care about it any more, and the slight dislike for the X-Men disappeared. Two clean.

After serving black tea and snacks to the guests, several people moved to the living room next door, and then Professor Charles mentioned the reason why the X-Men noticed Vera and sent Qin to find the way.

“It’s very embarrassing to say that, for a long time in the past, in order to protect the survival rights of mutants and prevent them from being used by the government or being used as experimental subjects, I have been constantly controlling the rumors of mutants and concealing the mutants from the outside world. human existence."

Charles knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair, smiled and looked out the window, with a gentle tone, "I firmly believe that mutants should receive equal education, they should not be discriminated against, and should not be inferior and cowardly because of their differences - I did educate those children's."

Willa looked out of the window following Professor Charles' line of sight, just in time to see a group of children chattering and playing on the lawn.

Among them was a boy whose skin was blood red all over his body. When he ran across the ground, there were traces of flames behind him.

The other girl has several pairs of fins growing on her back. In front of everyone, she sometimes lurks into the lake and floats up again. Her water skills are better than ordinary swimmers.

Another pair of twins, holding hands, jumped up involuntarily and suspended in the air while running and playing, directly out of gravity, and danced at the friends below in mid-air.

All the children are laughing and making troubles. In this academy, they live carefree.

No one showed any expressions of surprise and fear to them, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them. Under the deliberate teaching of Professor Charles, each of them lived confidently and flamboyantly.

Looking at this group of children, Clark's eyes rarely softened, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, and he asked the professor:

"Isn't that bad?"

To put it cruelly, these special mutant children have always been discriminated against in the outside world.

Clark knew very well that for this world, mutants were not human beings at all, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they were nothing more than monsters.

"If they stay at Xavier College for the rest of their lives, there will be no problem."

Charles' smile became a bit bitter, "But reality doesn't give them such a choice, they have to return to reality and accept this world."

It wasn't that he deliberately drove his students out, but that it was impossible for a normal and healthy person to stay in this "cradle" forever.

And, worse still to come.

"Before this, the X-Men and my abilities were able to guarantee the personal safety of the children who went out of the academy, but..."

Professor Charles touched his nose, glanced at Superman and Batman, and sighed inexplicably.

"The Justice League is formed."

Since the Cuban missile crisis in the 60s, successive governments have regarded the X team led by Charles as a secret weapon, and except for Charles himself, all mutants are a consumable.

This was most vividly reflected in the Vietnam War, when the government arbitrarily recruited mutants, and even used mutants as test subjects. Charles, who was powerless to resist, even suffered from severe depression for a time.

But at the same time, the government is also cooperating with Charles' work to hide the existence of mutants to the utmost, in order to make better use of them.

Thinking of this, Charles smiled lightly, the smile on his face disappeared, looked at Superman and Batman, and sighed:

"After the Justice League was established and the live broadcast of Superman and Walker, a certain lady named Amanda Waller approached Xavier College and asked the X-Men to send people to join her X Task Force."

As for whom she plans to turn Task Force X against... Needn't it be said?

Bruce & Clark: "..."

What a disaster.

Just like a butterfly flapping its wings and stirring up a storm on the coast, the rise of the Justice League broke the original balance of the entire world of superpowers and made it precarious.

Of course, Professor Charles could reject Amanda Waller, but if he really broke up with the government, what would these mutant children do?What about Xavier College?

Superman's face became a little embarrassed-strictly speaking, he really has to bear half of the blame, if he hadn't crushed (?) Walker in the live broadcast, Vera's follow-up operations have increased the popularity of Zhenglian, Amanda Vo Le probably wouldn't be so arrogant.

Batman didn't care about Professor Charles' own difficulties, he asked rationally and coldly:

"Would you rather have the X-Men and the Justice League work together than the government?"

Professor Charles smiled.

"Strictly speaking, we have no intention of cooperating with Zhenglian. It is wrong to expect a peaceful life through concessions from the beginning-rather than being threatened by the government and the world, it is better to simply take this step and let The world hears the voices of mutants."

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes, and stared at Vera tenderly and intently, his eyes were bright and clear, with a faint expectation:

"From the beginning, all I hoped for was Miss Senna."

I'm sorry, I didn't plan to invite you Zhenglian members this time. Our goal from the beginning was Vera Senna.

Vera: "..."

Bruce & Clark: ? ? ?

If it wasn't for the fact that this is a school, the mutants were threatened because of Zhenglian's rise. The two men stood up in an instant, pressed Vera on the left and right, and turned away.

Charles Xavier what are you thinking do you really know what you're talking about?

In front of them, you want to poach Zhenglian's corner, do you mutants understand what is called first come first served? ?

Clark immediately didn't feel that Charles' smile was gentle to the Holy Father, and he began to feel that Professor Charles didn't like everything:

His hairline was moved back too much, his eyes were not very good-looking, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was so false, he looked sinister and dark-bellied...

Charles: .

He took a deep breath, pretending not to hear Superman's hostile voice and Batman's crazily refusal, showing a subtle (false) smile:

"Actually, this matter really has nothing to do with Zhenglian. You don't have to apologize for it. We had planned this before the war in Washington—otherwise, Warren would not have been the first to contact Sterling Cooper." company."

The Warren he was talking about was the angel Worthington III.

It is true that Worthington Industries contacted Vera more than a year ago, and handed over several large-scale business advertisements to Vera. If we reason according to this timeline... then the person who came first, really It's the X-Men.

And to be honest, Vera is just "obligatory help" to Zhenglian, and Warren is her real party A.

The corner of Vera's mouth twitched slightly, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Warren, who just happened to look at her, and said lazily:

"We originally chose you. Otherwise, with the size of Sterling Cooper, I would not be able to entrust you with the most important planning and promotion."

What Warren and Charles didn't say was that out of various scruples, they were actually very cautious in doing things-so, after contacting Vera, they also observed and considered for a long time.

It wasn't until after the Washington War that Vera stepped forward to help Chaoying at the most difficult time of Zhenglian, that Charles and the others made up their minds.

"........."

This is awkward.

Bruce's face became more and more gloomy, Clark looked back and forth between Charles and Warren, and let out a barely audible sigh.

If I had known, I would not have popularized the concept of mutants to Vera, and if I had known, I would not have brought her to Xavier Academy!

Earlier, Clark thought Bruce had a good idea, using the Mutant Academy to bring Vera into their world, so that she could stay in Zhenglian for a longer period of time.

As a result, they worked so hard to lead Vera into this special world with great difficulty. As soon as they stepped in, they saw all the weasels coveting their brand managers!

go away!Vera is in Zhenglian!

If you want to replace the ordinary reputation of mutants, go find someone else!There are so many advertising agencies and brand masters in the world, go find them yourself!

Also a psychic, Professor Charles has a much thicker skin than Qin. He didn't care about the hostile thoughts in the minds of two superheroes, and smiled at Vera:

"The matter of the mutants is not in a hurry—whatever it is, there is nothing wrong with us simply dealing with Amanda Waller. You can think about it slowly."

As he spoke, he and Warren exchanged glances secretly, showing a very friendly and helpful look:

"We can also provide some conveniences—fortunately, there are eight TV stations and two magazines under Worthington, and Warren's voice will never be associated with certain identity issues."

Of course, Wayne Group also has TV stations and newspapers, but the question is, do you, Bruce Wayne, dare to use your own channels to speak out for Zhenglian?

——One word lore!

Bruce's face changed, and before he could stop her, Vera raised her head, showing a standard expression of business negotiation, and greeted Professor Charles.

Her face was righteous and awe-inspiring, pretending to feel heartbroken for Professor Charles:

"I fully understand the predicament mutants are in now. It's a matter of relationship. I think the two sides have quite a lot in common in terms of image promotion and promotion."

What is Zhenglian most lacking now?

Just, yes, channel, way!

Worthington's eight large TV stations, such large printing houses, and magazines can compete with Obadiah-if you don't seize the opportunity, you are a fool!

Professor Charles hehe: "Miss Senna, you are polite. At present, Zhenglian's reputation is more important. Of course, mutants are willing to fully support you."

He slyly didn't say "we", but referred to "mutants".

——You can operate for Zhenglian first, and the X-Men can also go through Zhenglian to pick peaches. Whether we can achieve a win-win situation depends on you, Miss Senna.

Warren: "..."

Clark: "..."

They seem to have seen two foxes, one big and one small, each smiling with crooked eyebrows, but plotting against each other unceremoniously behind their backs.

Only Bruce remained calm. He glanced at Professor Charles who seemed to have reached an agreement with Vera, closed his eyes, and began to crazily scroll the screen with a certain idea in his mind.

……

……

Thus, Professor Charles, who had reached a preliminary agreement with Vera and was about to communicate further, suddenly read a strong voice:

——Senna wants to cooperate with mutants?Very good, may I ask:

"Overbearing mutants fall in love with me"

"Professor Don't Run!I've got you covered! "

"Her Royal Highness Princess of the X-Men Loved Against the Heavens"

"Daily Life of Charles Xavier and I Marriage First and Love Later"

When are these novels published?

Charles: "..."

The smile on his face suddenly broke.
