The CIA, a secret research base.

When the black Ford car where Carl was parked in the parking lot, the three people got out of the car.

Carl immediately felt the gazes of countless eyes.

They were CIA agents guarding nearby. They were armed with guns, both men and women, and they looked at the three people as if they were looking at monsters.

Charles and Eric seemed to have gotten used to this look and walked towards the building.

Seeing this, Carl followed.

As soon as they entered the CIA building, a female agent dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with long hair and a very capable look, hurried over. After seeing Charles, she said impatiently.

"We have news about Xiao!"

After saying that, he noticed Carl following behind Charles and Eric.

Just as Charles was about to explain, the female agent asked in shock.

"Mr. Carl Lance!?"

Looking at this plot character, Carl extended his hand very gentlemanly, but felt a little sorry in his heart, because this female agent was not at all his favorite. Fortunately, the next Mystique is worth looking forward to, that is 20-year-old Jennifer Lawrence, Carl's favorite blonde sweetheart.

The female agent still shook hands with Carl in a daze, then looked at Charles and asked in a low voice.

"So, he is also a mutant!"

"Yes, Maura, you know him!"

"Of course, I have seen almost all of his works, and I even imagined him as my boyfriend, but I never thought..."

The female agent named Maura was hesitant to speak.

But Eric couldn't wait to ask.

"Have you found Xiao's trace?"

Maura said after she came back to her senses.

"Yes, our intelligence officers found traces of Xiao in the Soviet Union!"

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Eric immediately became a little excited.

Mora explained helplessly.

"We can't act on our own. The Secret Research Bureau is just a very small department of the CIA. We need to get the cooperation of those intelligence officers and find Xiao's traces. We must obtain the director's permission for action."

"Is there anything we can do?"

Charles asked.

"Of course, you still have five hours. You must gather those children immediately. We may have to use their power to deal with Xiao."

"OK, I'll do it right away!"

Seeing Charles use telepathy to contact the selected children, Mora took out a document from the file bag in his hand and handed it to Carl with a little nervousness.

"Sorry, Mr. Lance, time is tight. I have to go to the CIA to apply for permission for action for you, so please fill in this information."

Carl took it, glanced at it briefly, and returned the form to Mora in a confused look.

"Sorry, maybe Charles didn't make it clear. I didn't agree to join you and help you save the world."

"What!?"

At this time, Charles had already notified everyone and came over.

Hearing the conversation between the two, he explained awkwardly.

"Carl is right. He just wants to come and see before deciding whether to join us?"

Mora's tension just now dissipated, and she looked at Carl and Charles with a bad look.

"Charles, we are very tight on time! Mr. Lance, have you made a decision now?"

"Of course not, Miss Agent, if you don't mind, can you spare more than ten minutes? I have some reasonable requests to talk about..."

——————————————————————

CIA, in the meeting room of the Secret Research Bureau.

Mora walked in here in a hurry, put the documents in her hand on the table, and said to Carl who came in slowly from behind.

"Okay, Mr. Lance, can you tell me your reasonable request now?"

At this time, Charles and Eric also followed in, along with a blonde girl and a boy who looked obviously nerdy and wore a plaid shirt. Both of them looked at Carl. After recognizing Carl, they were a little surprised, but they felt the tense atmosphere in the meeting room and stood behind Charles obediently.

At this time, the girl also noticed that Carl seemed to glance at her, but he quickly retracted his gaze.

"My request is very simple. I need to make sure that if

If I join you, will my legal rights continue to be protected by law! "

Carl's words made everyone present a little confused.

Mora asked with a puzzled look.

"What do you mean? Mr. Lance, can you explain it more clearly?"

"It's very simple. I need to confirm that after this incident, will the government conduct unwarranted political persecution against me and take away my personal property because of my mutant identity?"

Carl knew that he didn't say anything after saying these words. Even if Mora really fought for these rights for him, the US government could turn its face and not recognize him. But Carl still said it. Purpose? As mentioned before, he needs to show himself, show his existence among these young mutants, and slowly fight for the right to speak.

Sure enough, when these words came out, Mora frowned, Charles fell into thinking, and Eric said with bright eyes.

"A very reasonable request! What do you think, Charles? "

Before Charles could answer, Mora explained.

"I know you're worried, Mr. Lance, but please rest assured that our laws protect the personal property of every American citizen. Private property is sacred and inviolable. This is written in the Constitution."

Unfortunately, Carl said without any appreciation.

"So, Ms. Mora, do you mean that mutants are also protected by the law? Can you be responsible for this statement? "

The empty conference room suddenly became quiet.

The mutants present all realized the seriousness of the problem in Carl's words.

Are mutants considered human beings in the legal sense?

If not, it means that mutants will not be protected by the law and can be arbitrarily killed.

Charles suddenly fell into deep thought, while Eric tapped the table with his thumb, looking at Carl with brighter eyes.

The girl and the boy also felt a sense of identity with this new mutant who had joined them.

Mura's expression became complicated. She swore that from this moment on, she hated the man she once regarded as her dream lover. She wanted to say of course, but she remembered her boss's prejudice against mutants, so she couldn't say of course. She could only say it euphemistically.

"Mr. Lance, I will explain your reasonable request to my boss. "

Now, even if everyone present was a fool, they could hear the embarrassment in Mora's words and realize the seriousness of the question raised by Carl.

Eric's eyes turned cold, Charles frowned, and the girl and the boy looked a little confused for a while.

Carl behaved very normally.

"OK, then I will wait for good news from Miss Mora. As long as Miss Mora can give a positive answer, I am also willing to make my own contribution to saving the world..."
