Chapter 39 - 39Chapter 39: Playing with flowers

"Not only him, but even his younger brother, Robert, the Secretary of Justice, is also a Mutant!"

Charles's voice was filled with unconcealed surprise. He looked at Fang Yuan, his mouth agape: "How do you know?"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly: "It's a secret."

He couldn't exactly say that Eric from the future told him, could he?

That's right, the powerful figure Fang Yuan planned to ally with next was the current President!

It was a blessing passed down through generations for Mutants to have a compatriot become the President. How could Fang Yuan let such an opportunity slip by?

A Mutant President could bring untold benefits to Mutants.

Although Fang Yuan also understood that this person probably had a lot of trouble brewing, that was fine; the more difficult his situation, the more room there was for cooperation.

Mutual benefit.

"Help me call the President."

Charles was stunned for a moment before he understood what Fang Yuan meant. He was still a bit dazed.

"What should I say?" Charles activated the Cerebro again.

Fang Yuan blurted out: "Tell him his skull is in my hand."

"What?"

"Ah, no." Fang Yuan immediately waved his hand, saying seriously, "Help me arrange a private meeting with him."

"Oh, and don't let him speak."

Charles didn't quite understand, but he did as he was told.

Washington, White House.

After a day of engagements, Kennedy finally had some time to himself.

He took off his spittle-covered jacket, handed it to his wife, and walked into his study alone.

As President, spitting back and forth with people was part of the daily routine.

But today was clearly unusual.

Soon after Kennedy sat down, a man's voice appeared in his mind.

"Hi, John."

"Don't be nervous, relax. I just want to say a few words to you. Oh, you don't need to speak."

Although Kennedy was surprised, he was a man who had seen big scenes, so he quickly calmed down.

He heard the voice in his mind continue.

"We know you are also a Mutant, Mr. President."

Boom!

Kennedy's mind exploded. He never expected his biggest secret to be revealed.

He cautiously looked around, then stood up and closed the study door.

This secret was known only to him and his brother. They had never told anyone else, otherwise, the consortium wouldn't have even considered supporting their presidential campaign, let alone whether they would still be alive today.

"Don't worry, we mean no harm. As Mutants, we are naturally on the same side."

Kennedy was noncommittal. He was trying to empty his mind, fearing that the other party might steal some secret from him.

"We know your current situation isn't easy." Fang Yuan finished, then motioned for Charles to transmit it.

Charles looked at Fang Yuan in confusion. Kennedy's situation wasn't easy?

This was the first he had heard of it.

Kennedy was only 43 when he became President, making him the second youngest person to hold that office in history.

With his youth, handsomeness, and wealth, Kennedy was loved by many young people. Charles saw no indication that his situation was difficult.

However, he trusted Fang Yuan completely and obediently conveyed the message to Kennedy.

Kennedy's eyes narrowed, as if the words had struck a chord.

Only those who truly sat in that position knew how difficult it was, especially since he had strong political ambitions and wanted to achieve great things, which only increased the resistance he faced.

Outsiders only saw his boundless glory, but within the political arena, Kennedy was currently in a precarious position.

Just 90 days into his term, Kennedy initiated the Bay of Pigs Invasion, attempting to overthrow the existing Cuban government using Cuban exiles. However, the operation lasted only 3 days and ended in defeat, with over 1,000 people captured.

Although American troops were not directly involved, this was widely seen as a major defeat for the United States, causing Kennedy to lose face.

The impact of this incident had not fully subsided even now, as many important captives had yet to be ransomed.

Kennedy always felt he was taking the blame for the CIA, as they had been constantly instigating him. But as President, Kennedy's own prestige was indeed damaged.

"We can help you. We can give you a great achievement, enough to erase the impact of ten Bay of Pigs incidents!"

The words in his mind invigorated Kennedy. The fact that the other party could contact him in this way meant they were not speaking idly. He believed about sixty percent of it.

At this point, Charles, under Fang Yuan's guidance, continued: "Tomorrow afternoon, National Theatre, 4:05 PM, go to the restroom."

Then Charles disconnected. Maintaining a mental link over such a long distance, even with the help of Cerebro, was quite taxing for him.

The current Professor X was far from the level he would later achieve, where he could resurrect by having his consciousness occupy another body after his own body's Death.

Of course, it might also be because Charles wasn't bald yet.

Fang Yuan looked at Charles's flowing hair with a somewhat impolite gaze, causing Charles to quickly reach up and press down on his hair, as if fearing it might run away.

"Will the President really come tomorrow?" Charles asked. "Or will he bring a group of people to arrest us?"

"Of course he will."

Fang Yuan smiled confidently: "Didn't you notice? We actually didn't give him any room to refuse."

Charles immediately understood: "Unless he wants his identity exposed…"

Was Kennedy afraid of his Mutant identity being exposed?

"Jessica, accompany me to the play tomorrow afternoon."

Kennedy said to his wife after leaving the study.

Just as Fang Yuan said, Kennedy had no choice.

"Okay."

Jessica did not refuse.

As the current First Lady, although Jessica was of average appearance, she was very considerate of Kennedy. Even with Kennedy's numerous mistresses, Jessica never caused him embarrassment.

And Kennedy knew this, which is why even when a celebrity mistress once threatened him, demanding that Kennedy divorce Jessica and replace her, Kennedy never agreed.

Of course, that celebrity mistress passed away two months ago. Because of her fame, she caused Kennedy no small amount of trouble.

Incidentally, this actress was also Robert, Kennedy's brother's mistress…

It would be a miracle if she became the First Lady.

And Fang Yuan couldn't help but say, they really knew how to have fun.

The next day, Fang Yuan and Charles arrived at a hotel near the theater. They had already booked a room. Accompanying them were Mystique, Eric, and Warren.

Because Mystique's help would be indispensable for the upcoming operation.

As for Eric, Charles suggested bringing him along. He felt it wouldn't be right to keep such a big matter from Eric.

Care from a good friend.

So Fang Yuan simply called Warren as well, after all, Angel was currently the face of the Mutants and had met Kennedy once before.

"How do we get in?" Charles asked.

He had tried to book tickets yesterday, but Fang Yuan wouldn't let him. However, if they were just going to communicate via mental link, there was no need for Raven to come either.

Raven and Eric, on the other hand, weren't thinking that much. They were still in a state of surprise and excitement.

"You guys just stay here. Raven and I will bring the President out."

Then Fang Yuan took Raven's hand.

"Hmm? They're still here…" Raven subconsciously said, then immediately closed her mouth, though her face was slightly flushed.

Charles and the others kept their eyes down, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Then Raven's eyes widened slightly, realizing this scene felt familiar. She seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

Sure enough, in the next second, to everyone's astonished gazes—

"Pfft!"
