Chapter 535: Chapter 503: A New Idea Wang Emerges (Second Update!!)

Good news.

In the next half month, the Demon King’s power will be in a state of semi-existence.

Bad news.

In half a month, the true power of the Demon King will completely descend upon this world.

These two pieces of news were transmitted from New York City to Washington just as Professor X and others’ plane had just taken off from the runway and were received by the Pentagon and the White House.

Ten minutes later.

In the secret bunker of the white building, President Baren Turner looked at the generals participating in the "Sentinel Program" on the large screen, put the note he had just received on the table, and then spoke: "My generals, the time left for us is short."

In the past two years, they have learned through various channels that two years ago, Hawk, who leveled the Quantico Base, cut through the Pentagon, and redecorated the White House to look like a meteorite hit it, had not shown his true strength.

Don’t ask how they got this information.

Just ask Professor X.

Still the same old story.

Who made Professor X a pacifist, always hoping to achieve peace between mutants and humans through non-conflict means.

Even to promote the implementation of the Mutant Peace Act, over the past two years, Professor X and the X-Men even became a non-recognized force of the Federation, specifically dealing with sudden events that humans could not handle.

Professor X thinks this is a good thing.

But he doesn’t know that, in the eyes of President Baren Turner, and even the entire Federation, Professor X and his X-Men are just temporary workers.

If a task is accomplished, the credit does not go to the X-Men.

But if something goes wrong, it’s all the mutants’ fault, no matter how many times the X-Men succeeded; if they mess up even once, the Federation will immediately show its true colors, even using the opportunity to once again stir up conflict between humans and mutants, placing all current issues on the mutants.

Baren Turner plans to do just that.

But!

The X-Men have successfully completed over a dozen missions so far, leaving Baren Turner without a reasonable excuse to lose his temper. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Furthermore, because of the success of these missions, there’s no chance to continue delaying the Mutant Peace Act that Professor X has been advocating for all these days.

After all, they need Professor X as a backup plan.

Someone who can stand out and mediate, say a fair word, just like always, if their "Demon Hunting Plan" fails.

As for what the Demon Hunting Plan is.

It’s naturally the plan to hunt the Demon King.

If, in the previous timeline of this cosmos, Sentinel Robots were created to eradicate mutants, then in this reincarnated timeline, Sentinel Robots arose specifically to eliminate Hawk.

But now, their plan seems to be encountering problems.

The good news is, the Demon King might be in a weakened state over the next half month.

The bad news is their Sentinel Program is not yet complete.

After finishing his opening remarks, Baren Turner frowned and tapped the table with his fist: "What’s the status of the Sentinel Program?"

The African-originated general responsible for the Sentinel Program quickly spoke: "We are in the final stage of mimetic gene modulation!"

Baren Turner remained expressionless.

"I need a specific timeline; Charles Xavier has already departed from New York City and is on his way to attend the congressional hearing."

"Ten... ten days!"

The African-originated general hesitated, then looked at Baren Turner with some difficulty: "Mr. President, I assure you, the Sentinel Robots will be online in ten days."

Upon hearing this, Baren Turner was first startled, then burst out laughing.

"Then tell me, what reason should I use to delay Charles Xavier for about ten days?"

After laughing, Baren Turner’s expression turned serious again: "The most important point is that the demon lord’s daughter is also at this hearing. Initially, according to the plan, once our Sentinel Robots were online, we could capture the demon lord’s daughter as a hostage, but now you tell me, what should we do?"

The African-originated general spoke without hesitation.

"Mr. President, since the Demon King’s power will be in a weakened state within this half month, let’s go all out."

"Ha ha!"

Baren Turner laughed, looking at the African-originated general who devised a new plan in less than a second, a bright smile appeared on his face: "Very good, since you came up with this plan, you will be the one to execute it, and the White House will know nothing about this plan."

A Pentagon admiral, who had been present but silent, now spoke: "The Pentagon has not issued any command authorizations."

The African-originated general’s smile instantly froze, and his face turned visibly darker.

Although he was originally dark-skinned, at this moment, he seemed even darker.

What a joke.

Let him go directly against the Demon King who once destroyed their military base with just his body?

Come on.

Their intelligence wasn’t great to begin with, but as a genius among his people, even though the African American general’s intelligence couldn’t match that of the other generals at the meeting, it was still above the average of his people.

Simply put, he had some intelligence, not much, but enough to know that this matter was not as easy as he just said.

After all, if it failed, his own life, and even the lives of his wife and children, could be at stake.

That’s why the Sentinel Program, from two years ago to now, has always been fully managed by the short Bolivar Trask.

Neither the Pentagon nor the White House, at least on the surface, claims to know anything about this matter.

This was also a precautionary measure, in case the plan failed and Professor X was needed to mediate, providing them an excuse.

If the plan failed and the Demon King wanted to hold someone accountable, they would unhesitatingly place all the blame on the short Bolivar Trask, and unhesitatingly hand over Bolivar Trask to the Demon King for handling.

After all, if the plan failed, it meant Bolivar Trask had lost his value.

Without value, there was no right to continue living in this world.

So—

He didn’t want to die either.

The African American general thought to himself, then faced the screen, where President Baron Turner was staring at him. He smiled slowly and unhesitatingly put all the responsibility on the short Bolivar Trask: "It’s all Bolivar Trask’s fault for not accomplishing his tasks as planned."

Baron Turner looked at this African American general, whom he hadn’t even bothered to remember the name of, give him a way out and chuckled again, then re-focused his attention on the other attending generals.

This African American general was also a product of compromise, after all, going back a hundred years, or even less, this African American would only be seen on a plantation, not in the center of the Federation.

Therefore, Baron Turner had never bothered to remember this guy’s name, nor did he need to now, because they had more urgent matters to attend to.

"Generals, we need a new plan."

"Yes."

The attending Pentagon generals finally spoke steadily: "Our plan must change, we even need to consider whether the Demon King’s two weeks of emptiness this time is real or a trap."

A single elaborate meal could shock the Westerners, causing them to exclaim in surprise.

But those participating in this kind of meeting were the top figures of the Federation, and they had the necessary wisdom.

Baron Turner also understood this point, but the most pressing issue now was not to consider whether the Demon King’s emptiness was real or not, but the arrival of Professor X and others on the plane to participate in the congressional hearing: "The most urgent thing now is this proposal, which will never pass in Congress."

It’s well-known.

In the Federation, there is a ruling party and an opposition party.

And congressional hearings involve both parties.

But another well-known fact is that the opposition party in Congress does only two things: resolutely oppose anything the ruling party tries to implement, and resolutely agree with anything the ruling party opposes.

So this time, the Mutant Peace Bill in Congress has no chance of passing.

Not to mention that the opposition party is inherently against mutants.

Although Baron Turner and their ruling party also gain votes through suppressing mutants, their strategy is rather ambiguous, which allowed them to win votes from those who are ambivalent or kindly towards mutants during the elections, thus winning by a narrow margin.

If they distinguish between good and bad mutants, the opposition would purely advocate for the expulsion of mutants from the country.

This is also why Professor X would invest in them, rather than seek collaboration with the opposition party.

In short!

This bill going to Congress is bound to be rejected.

By the time Professor X and others land in the afternoon, the bill may already be rejected before nightfall, and they could return to New York City.

Professor X’s confidence in this bill was due to Baron Turner’s previous handling of an incident involving mutants, where he promised to fully support the bill’s success to keep it from the public.

Baron Turner’s original intent was, as just mentioned, to use you a hundred times but deny all your efforts with a single mistake.

Then again...

In any case, the situation has become tricky.

"Congress can’t convene, it must be delayed!"

"I know, but how to delay, Generals, our time is truly running out."

"I have an idea!"

"..."
