The evening breeze caresses gently, and the moonlight is like water.
On the balcony, Hong Fei was rocking on a recliner with a roster in his hand.
This is the list of local mutants in North America calculated by Charles. Of course, it only includes mutants under the age of 18. Many of these mutants were recorded by Charles a long time ago. Maybe some of these people are dead.
Maybe.
After he finished looking through it, he found no trace of Jean Gray in it. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It seems that the now only four-year-old Dark Phoenix has not yet awakened.
According to the normal historical trajectory, she will highlight her abnormality two years later, around 1975.
Want to wait?
of course not.
Since Charles couldn't find her whereabouts using telepathy and a brainwave enhancement machine, he might as well take the most primitive method.
Although he could not remember her detailed address, he knew that Jean Gray was from New York. Even if the area covered the entire New York State, it was not difficult to find her.
After closing the roster, Hong Fei called out softly: "Pietro."
Pietro, who was locked in his room, suddenly heard a voice in his ears, which made him immediately jump out of bed, and in a blink of an eye he came to the balcony, looking around.
Hong Fei continued: "Go and find someone for me. She should be only four years old this year. Her name is Jean Gray, from New York. No matter what method you use, find her whereabouts as soon as possible, but don't alert her and her parents.
Come back and tell me the news immediately."
"Okay, I have remembered it clearly. I can check the population information of each place, but can I go out now?"
"able."
Hearing this, Pietro beamed with joy, immediately jumped up from the balcony, stepped on the wall quickly and went downstairs, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Hong Fei looked at the shimmering starry sky, thinking about how to get the Phoenix Power out of Jean Gray's body.
Even without using his brain, he could guess that this process would never go smoothly.
First, the Phoenix Force has evolved a dark personality in Jean Gray's body that is more inclined to be negative. It may not be as well-behaved as when Hong Fei took the dragon power from Danny Rand.
Secondly, the irritability of the Phoenix Force, coupled with its already strong energy and destructive power, will probably not cause much trouble to Hong Fei today, but the real difficulty is that if it suddenly breaks out, then
A four-year-old girl may not die when she serves as a host, but once the Phoenix Power is stripped away, the slightest repercussions may leave her dead.
Hong Fei does want the Phoenix Power, but he also doesn't want a four-year-old girl to die in the process.
It would be better if she were older. If she were twenty-four, then Hong Fei's guilt would probably be almost zero.
Finally, even if the Phoenix Force is successfully separated without harming Jean Grey, how to integrate it with itself is another problem.
Today's Hong Power is essentially made from the power of the dragon, supplemented by the gathering and smelting of other kinds of energy with different attributes.
Assuming that Hong Zhili is a movie, then Dragon Force is the protagonist who plays the most scenes from beginning to end.
According to the performance of the little dragon that is simulated by Dragon Seal, the grudge between them has probably reached a level that is difficult for others to guess, so much so that even in DC, the Seal of Dragon can sense Marvel's support through Hong Fei's support.
Phoenix Force.
Outrageous.
Under such circumstances, whether the two can be integrated into one should probably be put aside for now. He feels that the first thing he needs to consider is how to use them both for his own use.
This is like marrying a real wife (Dragon Power). The two have a great relationship and even have children, and the family is happy.
But you suddenly fell in love with another girl. Originally, your first wife had turned a blind eye and tolerated you. Who would have thought that this girl you want to take home is actually your first wife?
Enemies of life and death from the past.
Now, Hong Fei is confident to convince Da Fang, because after time and training, Dragon Power has basically integrated with him. His will is basically equivalent to Dragon Power's will. Dragon Seal is just a special thought.
Just a tool.
But it's not enough to persuade the eldest son. You have to make the girl like you. It's not over yet. You have to make the girl let go of her hatred towards your eldest son.
otherwise……
Hong Fei couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that he might have no choice but to take the bow and rob it by force.
In addition, maybe by snatching this part of the Phoenix Power, you can also attract the Phoenix Power from other universes. At that time, you will either catch them all in one go, or you can swallow them all and run away.
The next day.
Pietro hasn't come back yet, and Hong Fei didn't push him intentionally. He didn't even monitor whether the other party was really working seriously. Anyway, he's not in a hurry right now. If Pietro procrastinates for a long time in the end, then by then
Just another punishment.
Charles is back.
Indeed, he couldn't wait to find Hong Fei immediately and handed over a brown paper bag.
Hong Fei took it and didn't open it in a hurry. Instead, he looked at him and asked, "How is it?"
In fact, whether he answered or not at this time, the result was already obvious. After all, if there was no big happy event, not many normal people would curl their lips to the back of their ears.
Hong Fei doesn't understand. It's not Pietro who was born to you and Eric. Why are you so happy?
Could it be said that this is the friendship between the EC group? I admire it.
"Your guess is absolutely correct. They are indeed father and son. I have to tell Eric the good news as soon as possible!"
Charles said and walked back in a hurry, but Hong Fei quickly stopped him.
"Wait a minute. I sent Pietro out on some errands. He probably won't be back for a while. I think this kind of thing means a lot to him. It's best to wait until Pietro is here before telling him.
, so that they can complete the process of recognizing father and son as soon as possible after learning the news."
When Charles heard this, his steps suddenly stopped, and after thinking quickly, he nodded in agreement.
"You are right. We should wait until both of them are here before announcing the good news to them. Otherwise, I guess Eric will be eager to find Pietro..."
"And we don't know if there will be any surprises during the search."
"Accident?" Charles frowned: "How could it be?"
"Why not? Think about it, a middle-aged man who thinks he has been single for decades suddenly has a living eldest son. I think Eric's first reaction may not be surprise, but shock, and then he said
I'm not sure what he's thinking. Maybe it's not impossible to escape when faced with this huge surprise. Assuming that he is really scared and asks you to hide the news and not tell Pietro, will you agree to it then?
Still don’t agree?”
In fact, Hong Fei believed that Eric's first emotion after hearing the news was more likely to be one of shock.
He is Magneto, an Omega mutant who has practiced his physical skills to the extreme. He is free and unrestrained, he is uninhibited, he is free, he goes his own way, and he goes alone (at least for now, he is alone).
Suddenly, you told him: You have a son who is also a mutant, and he just fished you out from the 100th floor of the Pentagon.
It's really hard to guess what Eric will think at that time.
Given his character and temper, his subsequent reaction would not be surprising.
The best way is to call him and Pietro together, and then directly and publicly announce their father-son relationship in front of the two people.
At least, this can avoid some bloody plots from happening.
Although Magneto is decisive and ruthless, he would not kill his own son in order to maintain his free status.
As Eric's friend for many years, Charles thought for a moment and said: "Based on what I know about Eric, it's really possible for him to do that!"
"This is it, so let's take our time. Since the result has been determined, why rush it."
Charles nodded in agreement.
He turned around and asked: "What did you ask Pietro to do?"
"Find someone."
"Looking for someone? Do you need my help?"
Hong Fei pointed to the list next to him: "I looked through it yesterday, and there was no one I was looking for in the list of mutants you counted."
"Oh? The other party is not in North America?"
"No, he should be here, but he shouldn't be awake yet."
Charles nodded and asked: "Logan told me a lot about the mutants in the future X-Men. I have indeed only found some of them. I think the rest have either not yet awakened or simply not been born yet."
"Well, there is no need to worry about this. As long as you and Eric don't part ways again, no matter whether they are born or not, or whether they are awakened or not, the future will always allow each other to continue on the right path."
"Yes, I am very confident about this. By the way, have you found the address of the school? If it is really difficult to choose, then you might as well use my place for the time being. If you feel that the area here is not big enough.
, we can immediately contact a professional company to help with the expansion.”
Hong Fei shook his head slightly: "The address is not that easy to choose. I want to weigh it some more time. Your place is indeed small. Even if it is expanded, it will not meet my requirements."
"You're still young? The forest outside and the land within a radius of nearly ten miles are mine. Isn't this enough?"
"Ten miles?"
"Yes, in some places it even goes beyond that. The shortest distance is ten miles."
"Tsk tsk, I really saw you right. You are indeed a rich second generation."
Charles said seriously: "Moreover, I am not only the second generation of rich people, but also a truly rich generation. I have managed the assets left by my parents to dozens of times."
Hong Fei smiled happily when he heard this, stepped forward and hugged his shoulders: "You are indeed a business wizard. In this case, I think the asset management and operation of the school will be left to you in the future, and I don't expect you to turn the school into a
To become one of the world's top 500 companies, at least we should not run a deficit every year. It would be better if we had a little surplus after excluding expenses."
Charles did his part: "I am happy to help. I used to separate parts of the school for independent operations. I am very experienced in this."
"Okay! Your value is at least more than one billion US dollars!"
Charles couldn't help laughing.
Hong Fei, on the other hand, kept the smile on his face, but the smile in his eyes diminished slightly.
As soon as he said this sentence, he unconsciously thought that he had said this to two people before. The scene was as fresh as yesterday.
I'm not shy to say that Hong Fei really misses them a little.
