1630, A New Partner
It had to be said that Bolivar Trask was really a genius. After he agreed to Tang Yu's recruitment, he immediately took his assistants to the most luxurious shopping mall to buy himself a full set of clothes, makeup, and so on. When he walked out of the shopping mall, although his 1.3-meter height and deformed figure hadn't changed, his temperament had improved a lot.
After that, Trask used Tang Yu's connections to find a few members of the Hellfire Club. These people were all elites in the business world and important figures of the upper class. They brought Trask to attend a few gatherings of the upper echelons and made him familiar with them. Trask's actions were also very high-profile. Soon, he raised the banner of the Guardian Group. Many people already knew that this dwarf was the chief technical director of the Guardian Group, CTO. After all, his appearance was too recognizable.
Just when everyone thought that Trask wanted to stir up a storm in the business world, he turned his head and walked into the office of a state senator. Then, through his connections, he led the line to a member of Congress.
It had to be said that for the United States, the 1960s was the best era, but also the craziest era. This era was full of material desires and extravagance. It was the era when the United States really began to realize its war dividends after World War II. At the beginning of this era, although there was a muddy pit like the Vietnam War, the United States really began to fight back. Step by step, they pulled down the aggressive Soviet Union after World War II from the altar.
For the United States, countless enterprises sprang up like mushrooms after the rain. A large number of future business giants, aristocratic families, and multinational groups began to appear one after another. In this era, antitrust laws were useless, and there was only naked commercial expansion.
The Guardian Group, which began to expand rapidly based on the Permian Basin, also quickly became the target of the United States' political circles. In the energy industry, the Rockefeller family had been the dominant family for too long. It should be known that at this time, the Soviet Union was aggressively expanding its territory, and the United States was sinking deeper and deeper into the mud pit of Vietnam. At this time, the United States urgently needed a new power to inject more vitality into its economy. Therefore, this point was verified when Bolivar Trask took the video that Tang Yu gave him to find a member of Congress.
The next morning, Tang Yu received a call from a member of Congress, which showed that they attached great importance to this matter. A mutant who could read other people's memories and read their thoughts at will was too terrifying. If he was not controlled, Professor X really had the power to disintegrate the entire human civilization!
The congressman's name was Halkes. Trask's method of approaching him was ingenious. Halkes did not know about the existence of the Mutants, and his political views were relatively conservative. This way, Tang Yu could guide him to the fullest extent. However, Tang Yu did not tell him too much. After emphasizing the importance of not allowing the Mutant to act freely, Tang Yu said to the congressman in a serious tone, "… there can only be one principle when it comes to Mutants! With great power comes great responsibility! "
"What are you trying to say?"
"Nothing, I mean it literally. The emergence of Mutants was unstoppable, and the differences between Mutants and ordinary people could not be eliminated. In that case, as long as we act according to this principle, there will be no catastrophic consequences. "
"That's all. It's too vague."
"Everything is vague now, but believe me, we will definitely find the right direction."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu once again pulled up the video on his personal terminal. In the video, Professor X forcibly read the memory of the Hellfire Club member. After all, that person wasn't some small fry, but the chairman of a company! Tang Yu did not know why Professor X would go to such extremes, but when White Queen tampered with the memories in their minds, it was a batch operation, so it was not as detailed as what she did to Peacock. If the memory was forcibly read, this person would become an idiot because he was just an ordinary person!
Charles must have known this when he did it, but he still did it! This was definitely not the Professor X that Tang Yu was familiar with! Combined with the information given to him by the future Professor X, Tang Yu immediately thought of one thing – the mysterious man had made his move!
According to the information left by the future Professor X, Tang Yu understood that he was being controlled unknowingly. That was to say, even Professor X himself did not know when he was being controlled. This could only mean one thing! This kind of control was a subtle influence, and it required a very long period of time! This was especially true for a super powerful Telepath like Professor X!
Tang Yu himself had experienced this feeling before, because he too had been controlled! Because of this, Tang Yu knew a weakness of the mysterious man – he could only affect one person at a time! Because after Tang Yu was controlled, the unconscious Professor X immediately broke free from the control and sent a message to Tang Yu!
So now that the mysterious man was using Peacock to set up this trap, the mysterious man immediately fell into a dilemma. Of course, the mysterious man could control Peacock and even make Peacock commit suicide! But Professor X's telepathic ability was so powerful that once he got rid of the mysterious man's influence, he would quickly regain control of the situation. He would also immediately know that Peacock was being controlled. In this way, Professor X would help Peacock get rid of the control and follow the clues to catch the mysterious man.
Therefore, the mysterious man could only tolerate Peacock staying in the X-Men team, and after controlling Professor X, he would use Professor X's hand to get rid of Peacock. But before that, Peacock would be able to find a disharmonious factor in the X-Men, and this factor was probably the mysterious man!
Charles' current style of doing things was not much different from what Tang Yu knew before, except for this matter. So, this indirectly showed that his influence on Professor X was still superficial.
There was still time! What he had to do now was to first get rid of the X Team and take William Stryker's research on the Mutants for himself, so that the Guardian Group would become the world's only choice against the Mutants!
"Emma, go tell Sebastian Shaw that we're ready to take further action against the X Team," Tang Yu touched his forehead and said through Emma's telepathic link.
