The president's proposed mutants' bill was eventually denied, and he himself denied it. This is not surprising. The current president has always been regarded by the public and the media as a guy who works without brains. A large part of his public support rating comes from his celebrity dogs. If America allows animals to participate in the election, his dog should sit in his current position.

Of course, only a few people know that the president's orders are completely threatened by mutants. Charles has returned and mutants have regained their deterrence. The paws that had just stretched out quietly shrank back. All plans were put on hold, and they could only watch the Mutant Academy rebuilt step by step.

In the meantime, Zhou Yi naturally made a lot of efforts. He provided funds and manpower, and even took some shares in Charles Academy. This was Charles and the others' feedback. Zhou Yi naturally accepted the peace of mind, because it was also a help to his future plans.

However, Zhou Yi did not enter the Mutant Academy anymore. For him, some people are not suitable for meeting again at this time, such as Charles, Ororo. The conflict between them is getting deeper and deeper, and the rift between their relationship is getting bigger and bigger. It is hard to believe that they were recognized as boyfriend and girlfriend before.

There are reasons for the piano and their own. Their beliefs and personal personalities make their conflicts almost inevitable. Before this, they may be able to rely on one side's tolerance to barely maintain it, but when they all firmly stand on their own, their relationship will almost come to an end.

He arranged for the children who were temporarily boarding in the academy to return to the new academy, and at the same time adopted a girl in a special capacity.

Aretha Odies, or now you can call her Aretha Zhou, the thirteen-year-old girl has now become his adopted daughter. Although it may be a bit inappropriate, it has become a fact in the face of his persistence.

After all, even the Mutant Academy must be bound by law, and the law does not need to be thought of, and it is known that it will stand on Zhou Yi's side. They have no reason to have a falling out with Zhou Yi because of this, so they can only make a default decision.

The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, because Aretha's ability, the soul that is coming is uncertain. If something like the King of Fear occurs, it will undoubtedly be a disaster. The Mutant Academy cannot bear such losses, and he cannot accept the placement of such a dangerous person so close to his relatives.

If Zhou Yi asked himself that he could not do it because of this reason. Then putting it next to him became the most appropriate way. At the same time, he had other ideas about the girl's abilities.

However, not everyone agrees with him in this matter, Ororo is the one who disagrees the most. She made all her efforts to stop this matter, and even personally sent Aresa to Zhou Yi to talk to him. She didn't think that Zhou Yi would be a good father, because his identity was there, and it would not necessarily give Aresa a good childhood. She always insisted that only the academy was the destination of Aresa.

Zhou Yi did a very decisive job in this matter. He asked Serana to receive her, but he hid himself. The feeling of betrayal still affected him. He wanted to use this method to end their relationship. Since he couldn't go back to the past, it would be better to let go. This is his idea, and he did the same.

Ororo can only leave, and this departure is forever in a sense.

In the next period of time, Zhou Yi's life returned to the formality. In addition to daily work and learning how to be a father, he rarely stayed at home and spent a lot of time with Serana and Qin. Of course, as Christmas approached, he also took his adopted daughter to Paris, where he had a special Christmas with his mother and sister.

Zhou Lan and Xia Ruisi easily accepted the new members of the family. They were not harsh people, and they also felt pity for Aretha, who had a pitiful life experience and was alone. Although they were inevitably mocked Zhou Yi, after all, he was less than thirty years old, and it was really ridiculous to have a teenage daughter.

The new family member became the most beloved princess, something Zhou Yi didn't expect at the beginning. But it was undoubtedly a good thing. Aretha lived a good life, which was something he was happy to see. Although he had to admit that he had the idea of ​​using her in his heart at the beginning.

Festivals always pass quickly, Zhou Lan still has to be busy with her career, and Xia Ruisi also needs to continue to study her studies. In Zhou Yi's plan, if everything goes well, she can even go to an Ivy League school. Therefore, both him and Zhou Lan have high requirements for her in this regard. This is the expectation from parents, both Chinese and foreign.

As for Zhou Yi, he returned to New York. He is a superhero and a super rich man with extraordinary influence and fame. Both identities are not easy. Especially when more and more people he needs to take care of.

At a charity auction party in New York, the Hilton Hotel, which was about the theme of providing a better life for firefighters and policemen's families, Zhou Yi showed up with his adopted daughter. His private accountant told him that this is the best tax avoidance method at present, and he also wanted to talk to the organizer about some things. So he came here.

The arrival of Zhou Yi naturally surprised many people. After all, their circle is not big, and there are not many people like Zhou Yi standing at the top. And any of them is enough to attract the attention of many people.

They began to try every means to cling to this financial pride, and there were some celebrities with good looks and even influence in the world. However, Zhou Yi did not have the heart to focus on these people. His purpose was very clear.

George Stacey, his old friend, the director of the New York Police Department. He was in charge of the reception, and he was also the real goal of Zhou Yi's arrival.

Seeing Zhou Yi's arrival, the director seemed very surprised. He walked quickly to Zhou Yi with a wine glass accompanied by his female companion, with a very honorable smile on his face.

"Welcome, Mr. Zhou. I didn't expect you to really enjoy the glory. If I knew about it in advance, I should have made more preparations."

"You don't have to be so polite. Director Stacy, this is not the first time we have met. Too much preparation will scare me away." After making a joke, Zhou Yi looked at his female companion. "If I remember correctly, it should be a sir. I have to say that your daughter is very beautiful, and I think she must have inherited the advantages of you and your wife."

"Mr. Zhou, you are so awarded." Director Stacy smiled very happily. For him, his daughter is his greatest pride. He can't wait to show how outstanding his daughter is. "Gwen is my greatest pride. Although she is only in high school, her grades have been much better than when I was. Maybe you don't know yet that she has been admitted to the scientific research department of Osborne and has her own project."

"Oh, dad. I'm just an assistant, not as good as you said!" Gwen Stacey next to him couldn't help but roll her eyes. She felt that her father was boasting too much.

But Zhou Yi doesn't think so. He is also a shareholder of Osborne, so he naturally knows how strict Osborne's talent selection is. It can be said that most doctors in the world are not qualified to step on this threshold. It is one of the most core departments of Osborne and the most cutting-edge department. Those who can enter there can be said to be geniuses.

So he naturally exclaimed.

"It's a pity that I haven't visited Osborn recently, otherwise I will definitely remember the lady who is so beautiful and smart. Oh, I forgot to introduce it. This is my daughter Aretha. This is the first time she has attended such a banquet, so she may seem a little shy. Aretha, say hello to Mr. Stacey."

Aretha, dressed in a gorgeous dress and dressed like a princess, hid behind Zhou Yi, held his hand tightly and stuck out his little head, and said tenderly.

"Good evening, Mr. Stacey."

"Hello, little angel!" Although Stacey was a little surprised by the age of the father and daughter, she squatted down and touched her little head.

The little guy felt Stacey's kindness and did not dodge any action. After living with Zhou Yi for a while, she could already integrate into the normal life. This was a good thing for her, which meant that she had walked out of the shadow of the past.

Feeling Aretha's mood, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Stacey, I think we can have a private chat. If you don't mind, can I take Aretha around with her?"

"Of course!" Stacey nodded. Being able to cooperate with a wealthy man like Zhou Yi was his dream. Because he understood what these wealthy man meant, and that was something that could make his career go further, he agreed without any hesitation. "Gwen, take Miss Zhou around. Some things and Mr. Zhou and I need to talk about separately."

"Okay, dad." Gwen looked at Zhou Yi who was smiling. Although he couldn't help but muttered dirty politics in his heart, he still agreed. She took Aretha's little hand and walked towards the dining table. Fighting for children is more useful than chatting.

Seeing the two people getting further and further away, Zhou Yi took the lead in opening up the topic.

"Mr. Stacey, the world is very unsafe now, isn't it? I remember the things on the invitation. This charity auction was prepared for the families of one hundred and sixty-four martyrs in New York."

"You are right, Mr. Zhou." Although I don't know what Zhou Yi meant, Stacey continued to follow this topic. "Although New York is the best city, it is also the worst city. The crime rate here is one of the best in the country. We tried our best, but we still couldn't avoid some sacrifices."

As the financial center of the world, New York has become the place where bank robberies occur the most in the world. Crimes occur almost every day, and as long as there is a crime, there will inevitably be sacrifices. Even superheroes cannot stop this.
