Chapter 421: X-Men Headquarters Appears

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

NATO and the U.S. “Great Earthquake.” The U.S. Secretary of Defense and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency stepped down, and the general who had given the NATO order was dismissed. That was Wesley’s influence. No one wanted to offend this legend for the sake of a few people. He had extraordinary influence all over the world, especially among the people. He was a legend, a true legend.

Wesley didn’t pay attention to any of this. For Mr. President, who apologized to him, and the secretary-general of NATO agencies, Wesley said that it didn’t matter. Then he ignored it and the fighter jet flew directly to the X-Men headquarters in Washington. It landed on the tarmac of the headquarters and Wesley walked down. Charles and the others followed. Wesley went directly to the ground section. There were research institutes and cells. Eric was put in a special cell and then woke up.

“Think about it here. If you want to beat the civil war between humans and separate evolvers from humans, you can stay here for the rest of your life. Although your talent is good, it looks like a circus show to me. It’s easy to kill you. But I still hope you can help Charles develop X-Men General Headquarters. This is the future of evolvers and your future.”

“Can you see the future?” Eric asked, still unconvinced.

Wesley looked at him, then smiled and said, ‘Not bad. I can see the future. Do you want to see it?’ Wesley’s smile was warm, not insolent or mocking, but sincere.

Eric was suddenly silent. He didn’t know if Wesley was right or not. He hesitated. He didn’t know what Wesley was going to show him.

“Are you hesitating? You feel lost about the future and want to be guided. I’m sure about your feelings for evolvers, but you need to understand right and wrong. It’s not World War II now, but you still live in that time. They have too much influence on you. But you have to understand that everyone makes mistakes or crimes, but there are rules in this world. They receive punishment, and of course some people may escape the past, but they are still sinners. We need evidence. This is the difference between good people and bad people. Good people follow the law and seek legal ways to solve problems, even if it’s difficult.”

“Isn’t that unfair?” Eric asked.

“There is no absolute fairness in the world. Since you think it is unfair, do you want it to be fair? If you want it to be fair, then you have to obey the law. If you think your ability can make you not obey these things, then you are also a sinner. Whether you are tried or not, you are a sinner in the definition of law and morality. That is why good people always endure, but is their endurance worth anything?”

Eric was very confused, but Wesley went on, “Their tolerance has value. They make more people feel fair. Do you understand?”

“I want to see the future?” Eric said.

“What kind of future do you want to see?” Wesley asked.

“Can the future be different?”

“But of course, if everyone makes different choices, then the future will be different. For example, if you are determined to distinguish yourself from ordinary people, then the future is war, a painful war. If you choose to help Charles, then the future is peace. I think you know that very well. Two choices, two different outcomes. Which do you want to see?”

“Are you so sure?” Eric still doesn’t believe it.

“Yes, I’m sure, because I don’t know how long you can be locked up here. There will be more and more evolvers. Can X-Men General Headquarters keep going? Charles is good, but he never has your courage. That’s why I’ve been fighting for you, but you think differently from him. I need you to really change, and for that I can let you see the future.”

“Are you also an Evolved?”

“No, although I have special abilities, I’m not an Evolver. It’s hard to explain. This is my secret and I can’t tell you.”

“Okay, I’ll look at the future of the war,” Eric said.

“As you wish.”

Wesley left the cell. Eric sat in the cell for a long time, speechless. What he had seen was a big blow to him. The most precious thing for humans is wisdom. The sentinels developed by ordinary people were so powerful. Eric knew that what he had seen was real. He reckoned that Wesley could create such sentinels, but Wesley really did not know how.

There was genetics involved, and Wesley was not very good at comparison. He had never studied human genes. This was Wesley’s no-go zone. He had always believed that humans should not study genetic problems, but should let genes evolve on their own. Nature could not be conquered by anything, not at the moment, unless technology took another leap.

The X-Men General Headquarters held a press conference. No one knew much about this organization, even if the government did not know much. Now that General Wesley Gibson had held this conference in his name, it had attracted the attention of the world.

On the same day, Wesley appeared at the press conference with Charles and Eric. Eric had finally figured it out. Without Wesley, he would have had to wait until the final battle to figure it out, but now he had really figured it out. It wasn’t because the sentinels were strong, but because evolvers and ordinary people were at war. No matter what, the end result was destruction.

“The content of this press conference is mainly to announce the establishment of a special department. They are responsible for collecting intelligence and catching special criminals. I call it the X-Men General Administration, and the agent here is called X-Men.” Wesley said directly after he did it. There was no opening speech, but he announced the content directly.

The reporters below raised their hands one after another. An agency that could get Wesley to come forward was definitely different. They were very curious, but Wesley waved his hand and said, “Now let me explain the origin of the X-Men.” Wesley then told them about the discovery from World War I to World War II, and then said, “Evolved, this is the name I gave them. More and more human bodies contain X genes, but the outbreaks are mainly concentrated in adolescence, and as time passes, this makes more and more human beings. Even if there are no outbreaks, their children may have this gene.”

“So, through research, we can conclude that this may be the prelude to a large-scale genetic mutation of human beings, just like when apes evolved into human beings. Now you can ask questions. After you, lady.” Wesley asked someone to ask questions.
