Chapter 40 - 40Chapter 40: Your skull is two centimeters away

"You can teleport!"

Inside the theater, Raven gasped in a low voice, her mouth wide open. Fang Yuan saw it and felt like stuffing something in.

"Cough, cough, I was a little wary at first, so I didn't tell the truth," Fang Yuan prevaricated.

But Raven pouted, looking a bit unhappy.

It was understandable that Fang Yuan had hidden it at first, but their relationship was already so deep, and Fang Yuan still hadn't told her.

So Fang Yuan had no choice but to whisper a few words into Raven's ear, and immediately Raven's mood brightened.

"Okay, just seven days, not a day less!"

Seeing Raven's smug expression, Fang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

This silly girl, who knows who's rewarding whom?

Playing with the same person for seven days, but being able to change into seven new faces each day—that's the charm of Mystique.

They were now in an empty private room. Fang Yuan checked the time, then nodded to Mystique.

"It's time."

Raven immediately transformed into President Kennedy, her figure, appearance, and even speech perfectly identical.

"You don't need to say too much later; just come to the restroom one more time before the show ends," Fang Yuan instructed.

Raven nodded: "Don't worry, I watched President's videotapes all last night."

Afterward, Fang Yuan used Magneto's ability to sense the situation in the private room. Finding no listening devices in the restroom, he teleported Raven into President Kennedy's private room's restroom.

Soon after, President Kennedy himself walked in.

Seeing Fang Yuan and another person who looked exactly like himself, President Kennedy was greatly surprised and immediately realized who the visitors were.

X-Squad.

As a fellow Mutant, President Kennedy naturally paid close attention to this team's situation and knew Mystique's abilities.

He also had Fang Yuan's intelligence; the CIA had provided a complete explanation after the CIA attack.

Fang Yuan made a shushing gesture to him. President Kennedy frowned slightly, but for some reason, he didn't strongly object to Fang Yuan's instructions.

[Low-level Affinity Aura]

President Kennedy stood still, quietly watching Mystique adjust her clothes to match his, and then he understood Fang Yuan's intention.

To have Mystique replace him, and then they would leave.

President Kennedy did not refuse. He had prepared before coming and wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to switch back after being replaced.

Mystique handled the details, then left the restroom. No one outside noticed anything unusual.

So Fang Yuan extended his right hand to President Kennedy, shook the President's hand, and then— "Poof!"

They arrived at the hotel room where Professor X and the others were staying.

Seeing that Fang Yuan had actually brought the President back, Charles and the others were very surprised.

They weren't too surprised by Fang Yuan displaying new abilities; Mutants aren't limited to just one superpower.

Eric's gaze towards President Kennedy was also complex. He had to consider if this was his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to assassinate the President.

Cough, cough, just kidding. Eric was doing quite well now, with comrades, life goals, and Charles. He wouldn't even think about killing the President.

His gaze was complex, purely astonished that President Kennedy, the President, would actually be one of his own kind.

President Kennedy was also surprised by how many people were there, but at the same time, he felt relieved. Everyone present was someone he knew, not only official partners like X-Squad but also Superheroes like Angel, whom he had met before. At least he could confirm they were friends, not foes.

The group sat down on the sofa. President Kennedy got straight to the point, asking Charles, "Why have you gone to such great lengths to find me?"

He assumed Professor X was in charge, not only because Charles was the Captain of X-Squad but also because President Kennedy most feared his abilities.

Telepathy, for a politician like him who was accustomed to speaking nonsense and was full of secrets, was nothing short of the most terrifying natural enemy.

"For the future of Mutants."

To President Kennedy's surprise, it was Fang Yuan who answered.

Now he was very surprised. He had originally thought Fang Yuan, who came to pick him up, was simply a driver.

This thought was accurately read by Charles, who quickly suppressed his laughter.

And Fang Yuan, who had activated his Telepathy ability as soon as he returned, also perceived this thought. As long as he didn't try to use his ability on Charles, he wouldn't be detected.

But his face was as calm as an ancient well. Fang Yuan had made up his mind that all other abilities could be exposed, but only [Telepathy] could not. Once others knew he possessed this skill, the precautions he would face would increase exponentially.

Only by keeping a low profile can one make a fortune.

However, in his mind, Fang Yuan was thinking that President Kennedy's skull was two centimeters further away from him.

On the other side, President Kennedy was also constantly guessing Fang Yuan's thoughts. His first impression was that Fang Yuan and his group, knowing he was also a Mutant, had come to him to unite and seek benefits for Mutants.

If that were truly the case, President Kennedy would be somewhat disappointed.

Although he was a Mutant, President Kennedy wished he wasn't.

Charles's gaze darkened a bit. Only then did he realize that the President was actually very repulsed by his identity as a Mutant.

"So we are here to cooperate with the President," Fang Yuan continued, unfazed. "We can give you political achievements, and then you help Mutants establish themselves in the World."

"Is this a trade?" President Kennedy asked.

Fang Yuan nodded: "Exactly, you can understand it as an alliance."

President Kennedy was a little confused; they didn't seem to be making any excessive demands.

Fang Yuan chuckled inwardly. He wasn't as naive as Charles and the others to think that just because the President was a Mutant, he would definitely help Mutants.

President Kennedy was a politician; everything was about self-interest. So Fang Yuan would just give him an offer he couldn't refuse.

"What are the specifics?" President Kennedy was still more concerned about what kind of political achievement Fang Yuan and the others had mentioned, one that would ten times offset the impact of the Bay of Pigs incident.

Fang Yuan smiled, revealing the mystery: "In five days, on October 14th, 'The Neutralist Daily' will report an international news story."

President Kennedy instantly became serious, listening carefully to every word Fang Yuan said.

"The Soviet Union has deployed a nuclear missile Base in Cuba!"

Boom!

President Kennedy's mind exploded instantly. He never imagined Fang Yuan's intelligence would be so explosive.

Cuba?

Nuclear missile Base?

It's important to know that Cuba is only a little over a hundred kilometers from Florida, the closest state in the United States, and New York and Washington are only a little over a thousand kilometers away. With the Soviet Union's missile technology, establishing a Base in Cuba would bring the entire United States within striking range.

This meant that if the Soviet leader had a whim one day, in the time it takes to drink afternoon tea, pressing a button could destroy the United States!

"I will go back immediately to formulate countermeasures. I agree to your demands!"

President Kennedy immediately said, intending to get up.

Because this matter was too big, he dared not delay.

But Fang Yuan reached out and stopped him.

"No need to be so anxious, because the person truly behind everything is the Mutant, Shaw. He won't launch an attack until the United States gets involved," Fang Yuan directly sold out Shaw.

"Shaw?"

President Kennedy frowned deeply. He certainly knew that name.

Fang Yuan explained: "Shaw is attempting to destroy the human World, so he deliberately provoked a nuclear war between the two superpowers."

"And what I want to do is use this opportunity to put on a big show with President Kennedy."

Fang Yuan's voice carried an extreme allure.

"At that time, you will become a hero President, gaining immense prestige, and you can resolve all unfavorable factors."

"Do you want to become the greatest President?"
