Chapter 416: Evolution

“I’m not sure, but it’s possible, isn’t it? Evolvers, or mutants as you call them, are increasing, and what you call wrong is directly differentiating these people from humans. What I want to do is to make these acceptable to humans. I think the name of evolvers is appropriate. Of course, the process can be very difficult, and the X-Men are established for this.” Wesley explained his thoughts, although this is not the main point.

“You think mutants… oh no, evolvers and humans are bound to have conflicts?” Charles asked.

“That’s right. I think you know more about the abilities of Evolvers than I do. You are completely stronger than ordinary people, and your abilities are diverse. Just like Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger, how long can they live? These are not comparable to humans, and we don’t know what some Evolvers will do with these abilities. Crime, fear, envy, and jealousy, many emotions will cause confrontation. This is predictable.”

“That’s why I need you to be in charge of X-Men, a department that specializes in crimes against evolved people and provides protection for evolved people. It’s important here, and I think you can do it. Later, you will be impetuous, but I think you will mature.”

Charles crossed his arms over his chest and thought about it. He now agreed with what Wesley had said. Evolvers were indeed called much better than mutants. At least they didn’t separate them from humans. Instead, they were closer.

Moreover, this agency could provide a lot of help. However, after all, there were government departments here. Would there be any changes? A legendary figure like Wesley Gibson was fine, but he was too old.

“How can you guarantee continuity? With you here, there will be no problem, but once you are gone, will this place be changed?” Charles voiced his worries.

“Do you see the Extreme Agent Headquarters next door? That’s where you use ordinary people to train and then exceed the limits of human beings. The training method is different from the previous agents. Their mission is to protect X-Men. But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that I will arrange for someone to ensure your independence, someone I trust the most.”

“Who is so worthy of your trust? And has the ability to guarantee our independence?”

“It’s a secret that won’t be revealed until the day I die, not now. Okay, kids, there are only three of you now, but I think you can go and find more people. Also, Charles, evolvers need a school. They can’t go to school normally like ordinary children. They will be considered monsters, so they need a school.”

‘I understand, sir.’

“So are we going to live here?” Raven said.

“There’s no need for children. It’s not time to actually use this place yet. You still have time to prepare, but once it’s activated, you’ll have to drive on duty. Here are your credentials. Put them away and get familiar with them. I’m leaving.” Wesley left, leaving the three of them alone to familiarize themselves with the situation.

“Hank, you came here first. Take us for a walk,” Raven said.

“Of course. The equipment here is the most advanced in the world, and there is a possibility of upgrading. Mr. Gibson is the greatest scientist and inventor. Everything here comes from his hands,” Hank said admiringly.

“We know that, but it takes a lot of people to get such a big place running. Where can we find so many mutants?” Raven pursed her lips.

“It’s an evolver,” Charles corrected. “We have to change it in the future. Mutants are really not appropriate. After all, it’s equivalent to separating ourselves from humans, and evolvers are much better. At the same time, human evolution is not without basis. The number of evolvers will increase. This trend is already obvious. We need to prepare in advance.”

The three of them continued their tour and gained a little understanding of the place, but they would have to wait until it was activated. Then, Charles left with Raven.

Back at school, Big Charles began to revise his paper. The term mutant was no longer appropriate, so the emergence of the title of evolver required theoretical support. These had to be re-studied. X-Men needed theoretical support, which was necessary.

However, an agent found him. “Professor Charles, I heard that you are very knowledgeable about genetic mutation?”

Charles looked carefully at the female agent across from him and observed her memory. Then he was surprised. “Not bad. I do have research, and I’m interested in what you’re going to say.”

The female agent’s name was Moira McTaggert. She was a CIA agent who was responsible for monitoring a man named Sebastian Shaw. This man had a lot of ties to NATO. Because of Wesley’s appearance, the Soviet Union no longer existed, and the Sino-American alliance was so powerful that it made all the countries in Europe feel ten times the danger. So it became NATO directly, with the intention of uniting against the Pacific alliance between China and the United States.

She discovered Colonel Hendry’s presence in Las Vegas, and then she discovered his plan, but the director of the Central Intelligence Agency did not believe it, so she came to ask Charles to go to the Central Intelligence Agency to persuade him.

The story hadn’t changed much, and Wesley knew it, but he had no intention of making a move. Instead, he let Charles handle it alone. It was a small test and a training exercise. Wesley watched everything from a distance. Evolvers needed to develop, so they needed to grow on their own. Wesley’s body was too old now. He was waiting for his wife, Nguyen Ling, to leave first. It was all he could do.

At CIA headquarters, Charles brought Raven here with his latest research report and began to explain. After some well-founded argument, he knew that she did not believe him.

“Agent McTaggart, do you really think that with this weird scientist, I will believe that there are really shiny women and men who can move in an instant?” The director is completely unconvinced.

“Oh, you really don’t believe it? As far as I know, during World War II, there was a red-skinned man who could teleport and assassinate General Wesley Gibson, but he was injured by the general, but he finally teleported away. But how can you not know about the soldiers who saw all this?” Charles said.

“I have no interest in the legendary experience of the general. We are not interested in some rumors unless there is definite evidence,” the director said.

“Evidence? Raven, show Mr. Director what you can do,” Charles said.

“Okay.” Raven got up directly, and then her body began to change, directly turning into the appearance of the chief.

“Oh God, lock them up first. I need to think about it,” the director said in a panic.

Charles, on the other hand, calmly took out an ID. “I’m sorry, but you have no right to detain us. This is my ID, Director of X-Men General Headquarters. You and I rated it. The reason I’m here is that my department has not been officially activated, so I need your cooperation?”
