Chapter 65 - First Meeting with Professor X

The Blond Youth was furious. "You bastard, you almost hit me, you know?"

Chen Chen frowned slightly. "I apologize, I didn't intend to attack here. It was all an accident."

"Accident? Then you can experience my accident."

The Blond Youth took out a lighter, flipping it in his hand. Flames surged and surrounded him, followed by a fire pillar as thick as an arm, which he hurled forward.

Chen Chen sidestepped slightly. The fire pillar brushed against his cheek, turning a small tree seven or eight meters away into ashes.

Just as Chen Chen was growing impatient and preparing to retaliate.

An old voice rang out, "Enough, John. It wasn't this gentleman's fault."

But the Blond Youth seemed not to hear, still controlling the flames around him and blasting towards Chen Chen.

However, his body stiffened, and he uncontrollably gathered the fire flow around him, then waved it away.

But his expression seemed a little unwilling, "Professor, let me go, why are you helping an outsider?"

Professor X? He used his telepathic abilities to control the body of the Blond Youth?

Chen Chen sneered. This young man named John was also lucky; if Professor X hadn't stepped in to stop him, he would probably have been wailing under his iron fist.

Then a Red-haired Woman pushed a bald old man in a wheelchair over.

The bald old man, also known as Professor X, Charles Xavier, slowly said, "Mr. Chen Chen, please forgive John's offense. No matter what your problem is here, we can go to the meeting room to talk, how about it?"

Chen Chen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He was also willing to get to know this legendary figure in the Marvel Universe, Professor X.

"Remember to have someone watch over the Iron Man armor over there." Chen Chen said casually. His visit to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters today was a very accidental thing in itself. If he could gain something, that would be a pleasant surprise.

Behind Chen Chen and the others as they left, Blond Youth John stared venomously at Chen Chen and Professor X's backs.

In the meeting room, Professor X asked kindly, "Mr. Chen Chen, would you like coffee, tea, or a drink?"

"Make me a cup of tea," Chen Chen replied casually.

The Red-haired Woman, who had been following Professor X, skillfully brewed two cups of tea and brought them over.

Chen Chen's gaze fell on the Red-haired Woman. If he remembered correctly, this woman was the famous Phoenix, Jean Grey. Her abilities were telepathy and telekinesis, but what made her famous was the terrifying cosmic power, the Phoenix Force, contained within her.

Seeing Chen Chen's gaze lingering on the Red-haired Woman, Professor X introduced, "This is Jean Grey, a teacher at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."

Jean nodded and smiled at Chen Chen as a greeting.

Chen Chen also nodded, then looked away.

The two men sipped their tea, the atmosphere harmonious, like that of old friends.

"Mr. Chen Chen, I hear you've recently been with Emma Frost of the Hellfire Club," Professor X asked softly.

"That's right!" Chen Chen nodded. "What is it? Are there conflicts between the X-Men and the Hellfire Club?"

Professor X waved his hand. "There used to be some conflicts, but that's all in the past. Emma was a teacher here before, but she left for certain reasons. What I want to ask is, Mr. Chen Chen, are you interested in joining our Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and contributing to the future of Mutants?"

"So that's what this is about," Chen Chen quickly waved his hand. "I'm not a Mutant, so naturally, I'm not interested in contributing to Mutants."

"Er..." Professor X closed his eyes and sensed, but in his perception, Chen Chen was undoubtedly a Mutant. He could only attribute Chen Chen's refusal to his rejection of his Mutant identity.

"Since you're not willing, I can't force you. Remember to say hello to Emma for me," Professor X said with some regret.

While Chen Chen was saying goodbye to Professor X at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a group of people were very busy.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was in chaos, with countless people either on the phone or mobilizing city surveillance and satellite imagery.

Director Nick Fury said in a low voice, "What exactly happened with the incident code-named 'Iron Man'? And why did it happen? What clues have you found?"

He appeared calm on the surface, but his rapid-fire questions betrayed his anxiety.

Clearly, the battle between Tony Stark, Iron Monger, and Chen Chen had alarmed S.H.I.E.L.D., an organization that considered itself the guardian of the world.

Indeed, this was the international financial center, New York, the location of the United Nations headquarters. Suddenly, an unidentified radar display appeared above New York, and its energy level was no less than that of the most advanced fighter jets.

If this suddenly appearing weapon were to attack the bustling city of New York, it could easily kill tens of thousands of people. How could Nick Fury not be anxious?

Soon, an agent came to report, "Director, we have extracted some surveillance footage and have now confirmed the sequence of events. The battle of the unknown Iron Man originated in a factory under Stark Industries in Brooklyn. The Iron Man's crash site is in Westchester County, but there are no eyewitness reports, and the cause of the crash is currently unknown."

Westchester County? That name sounds familiar!

Nick Fury was lost in thought.

The agent asked again, "Director, do we need to send agents to conduct a field investigation?"

Nick Fury shook his head, "That's Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. It's not suitable to send people for a field investigation. Alright, you can leave now."

"Yes!" The agent turned and left.

Professor X, a Mutant who had been fighting on the front lines for decades, was someone Nick Fury was very familiar with. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone in his hand. The call was quickly connected.

"Charles, my old friend, did something fall into your hands? Oh… oh… so that's how it is. Okay, I understand, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Nick Fury let out a long breath. He learned from Professor X that this matter was actually related to the internal conflict at Stark Industries. Most importantly, Tony Stark had allegedly invented a super war weapon.

As for how Professor X knew? Don't forget his ability was telepathy. Obviously, he had read Obadiah's memories before he bled out and died.

At this moment, Nick Fury seemed to remember something.

He had previously heard Coulson report that the cave in Afghanistan where Tony Stark had been trapped was deliberately blown up after Tony was rescued. Now it seemed they were indeed trying to hide something.
