Chapter 450: Jean Grey! Departure: Invincible!
"The collapse of The Pentagon has made the American right-wing forces quite aggressive recently," Xia Shang continued, looking around. "They're using this as an excuse to claim that Mutants have become a serious threat to the national security of the United States, and they want the Ministry of Defense to increase funding for the Awakening Plan."
Charles and Hank were naturally not unfamiliar with the Awakening Plan that Xia Shang mentioned.
It was precisely this Plan that intensified the conflict between Mutants and humans.
And the origin of the Awakening Plan is actually related to Charles and Erik.
In 1962, after the Cuban Missile Incident, the strength displayed by Mutants made the American conservative forces feel extremely apprehensive. Therefore, they formulated the Project WideAwake Bill, codenamed 'Awakening Plan'. The initial purpose of this Bill was to ascertain the true number and distribution of Mutants within the United States.
Later, under the urging of right-wing forces, it became that they had the right to demand the CIA to carry out arrests of Mutants within the United States.
Just like Magneto Erik, he has always been the primary arrest target of this Plan.
"This damned Bill should be immediately stopped," Hank said with a grim expression.
If it weren't for this Bill, the school that Charles once founded wouldn't have closed down either. The purpose of this Bill's existence is to eliminate Mutants within the United States.
"Don't worry, the US Government will abolish that Bill sooner or later. After all, if they want to fight Butcher and his group, the federal government will still need to rely on us," Xia Shang smiled indifferently.
"I really hope that day comes sooner," Hank said with a bitter smile, picking up the helmet on the control panel and handing it to Charles in the wheelchair.
He was very clear how great the influence of the right-wing forces was in the United States, and how difficult it would be to get the federal government to abolish the PWA Bill.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Jervis, there's a hearing about Mutants in a few days. Do you want to come with me?" Charles asked, holding the helmet.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in that kind of meeting denouncing Mutants. Besides, I plan to take a long vacation for myself recently. My assistant Silver Fox Kayla is already very familiar with the company's business, so I'm sure nothing will happen if I leave for a while." Xia Shang shrugged his shoulders, indicating he wasn't interested.
Probably only Charles would be willing to frequently attend that kind of meeting, attempting to ease the conflict between Mutants and humans.
"Mr. Jervis, you're leaving the company?" Silver Fox Kayla at the side was a little surprised, because she had never heard Xia Shang mention this matter.
"Several months have passed, and Butcher hasn't made any moves. And all matters of the company can be handled well even by someone else. That's why I was thinking of taking a long vacation for myself and getting some good rest." Actually, Xia Shang had the thought of Walking Through The Heavens. Since coming to the X-Men, he hadn't used his Walking Through The Heavens ability even once.
Now that everything has been handled, the company can operate normally even without him. That's why he was thinking of going to other worlds to see if he could enhance his strength before Apocalypse awakens.
"I will definitely do my best to help you manage the company well. Thank you very much for trusting me so much," Silver Fox Kayla said excitedly. She hadn't expected that after only a few months of joining the company, she would receive such high trust from Xia Shang, that he would actually plan to temporarily entrust the company to her. This was simply unimaginable.
"To be honest, I'm also very curious where Erik and the others went. According to Erik's personality, he will definitely do something to retaliate against the US Government. After all, he was locked up in prison for such a long time."
Charles put on the helmet and began to search globally for Erik's trace.
"This brain enhancement machine was specially developed for Professor Charles's ability. It can allow his consciousness to cover more than half the planet. Of course, if he could shave his hair, the effect would be better." Unexpectedly, as soon as Hank finished speaking.
Charles laughed and cursed, "You'd better stay away from my hair, or I'll tell everyone about your embarrassing moments." "Alright, I give up," Hank raised his hands and said helplessly.
Suddenly, Charles seemed to sense something, and the smile on his face vanished completely.
"I saw a traffic accident. A high-speed truck crashed into a private car and sent it flying. The couple in the car died on the spot. Only the girl in the back seat survived."
"Where is it? Do I need to call the police?" Hank took out his mobile phone and asked.
However, Charles, with a solemn expression, shook his head. "I saw that girl awaken some terrifying ability. Directly around her body, everything except her parents' corpses was completely disintegrated, including that truck and the driver in the truck."
Charles suddenly took off the helmet and said in horror, "The energy fluctuations within that girl's body are simply unimaginable! We must find her as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unthinkable!"
Traffic accident? A girl awakening an ability? Xia Shang thought of someone: Jean Grey.
But according to the normal development of the plot, shouldn't Charles have found Jean Grey when she awakened her ability, and then persuaded her parents to bring her to Wiziel Academy for Gifted Youngsters?
"The situation is a bit bad. That girl absolutely cannot control the strength within her body. She is currently a walking nuclear bomb." Charles said with an anxious face, "Hank, prepare the airplane. We must find that girl before things get worse and bring her back."
"I won't go with you guys. If you need help, you can contact me anytime." The Phoenix Force within Jean Grey has just awakened, and it's still quite simple for Charles to control her. Of course, when Jean Grey completely absorbs that Phoenix Force, she can easily kill Charles. No matter what, she is still an Omega Level Mutant.
Leaving Xavier's School, Xia Shang returned to a villa he had purchased in Washington.

As soon as the words fell, Xia Shang's body turned into countless light particles and dissipated into the air.

"Mr. Jervis, it's time to get off work, I should head back." In a burger shop, a young man named Mark waved at Xia Shang, then picked up the trash nearby and walked outside.
"Invincible? Looks like I've arrived in an unfamiliar world..."
