I'm a hero in Marvel

Charles said as he turned on the TV in his office and tuned it to Fox News New York. The live broadcast on the screen showed that at noon that day, a fire broke out in the home of Mr. Macaulay, a New York City council member who lived in Long Island. According to the police, Mr. Macaulay was indeed at home at the time of the incident and unfortunately died in the fire.

As we all know, Mr. Macaulay is a politician who is firmly against mutants. The fire caused serious damage to his body, and the police found it difficult to determine the cause of death. However, some analysts believe that it cannot be ruled out that the fire may have been assassinated by radical mutants.

The reason for Macaulay's murder was most likely related to a bill against mutants that he had been pushing hard... As the news was broadcast, Logan and Charles looked at Daken and Paul with surprise, while Scott, who had just arrived, was still confused and didn't understand.

Logan asked with a dry throat: "Did you do this?" After hearing this question, Scott immediately understood something. He said in surprise: "Wait, Logan, you mean the two of them? Oh my God!"

At this point, it was no use for Daken and Paul to argue. When Logan smelled the blood on them, their secret had been exposed.

"We do this just for the future of mutants!" Paul was thrown heavily to the ground by Logan and he was unable to get up yet.

Logan and Scott's eyes naturally turned to Charles. Charles seemed a little hesitant, but finally said apologetically: "I'm sorry, kids, I may need to enter your mind to take a look."

Charles realized that something was not right. It was irrational for two children to have the audacity to go to New York City and kill a city councilman.

Daken is less likely to have committed a crime because he has been under close surveillance by Logan; in contrast, Paul is more likely to be suspected. Charles is not a stubborn person, and he will not read other people's minds at will unless it is necessary. However, when it is really necessary to do so, he will act without hesitation.

So, while Logan and Scott were patiently waiting for Charles's findings, Charles couldn't help but gasp and leaned back in his wheelchair.

He stared at Paul in amazement, and uttered a shocking name - "Master of Illusion!"

Logan was not familiar with the name "Master of Illusion", and he had never heard of it. But Scott beside him was terrified of this man. When Charles said this name, he almost instinctively took a breath.

"Who is this guy?" Seeing Charles' shocked expression and Scott's fear, Logan couldn't help but ask.

However, Charles did not have time to answer him at this moment. Sitting in a wheelchair, Charles' eyes were fixed on Paul. Although it seemed that he was just simply looking at him, Charles was actually using his super powers.

It is a mind-controlling power that can change the whole world by himself. Some people have suggested that he use this power to brainwash all of humanity, after all, there are only a handful of people in the world who can resist his superpowers. Charles is fully capable of shaping the world into what he wants, but he sticks to his moral bottom line and prefers to realize his ideal world through normal means.

He didn't use his abilities easily, but that didn't mean his abilities had degraded. Just like now, he stared into Paul's eyes and used his mutant superpowers to cleanse Paul's mind of the illusions left by the Illusion Master.

Paul's body was shaking violently, as if he was hit by a strong electric current, and his muscles were twitching uncontrollably. It was not until Charles stopped casting the spell that Paul stopped shaking, fainted, and fell to the ground. Meanwhile, Deacon at the side still had no idea what had happened.

Logan, the father who also didn't know the truth, was also confused at the moment.

After Charles finished investigating Daken's superpowers, he slowly spoke, "Master of Illusion Jason is actually one of the students who were sent here before."

"His mutant ability is just as the name suggests. He is good at creating mental illusions and manipulating other people's minds." Charles explained to Logan while looking at Paul who was lying on the ground.

"I'll explain the details later. I've set up a mental cage for Paul, allowing him to temporarily escape the control of the Master of Illusions. Logan, take Daken back to the dormitory now. You must keep a close eye on him in the future. I think it's best to put him in a detention room. Scott, you also send Paul to a separate detention room."

Logan and Scott followed the instructions and sent the two children to separate detention rooms. At this time, Charles clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned pale due to excessive force.

Bang! His fist slammed heavily on the armrest of the wheelchair, making a deafening sound. Charles was angrier than ever before. Even though he had experienced countless setbacks, blows, and even betrayals, he had never been as angry as he was now.

Because someone had touched his most precious thing - the children of this academy!

Charles always treats all the students in the academy as his own children, because he places all his hopes for a better future on these children. For them, protecting and educating these children to grow up healthily is his mission and responsibility. He has decided to devote all his energy and life to the great cause of promoting the peaceful coexistence of mutants and ordinary people.

Charles could never accept the fact that his students had been trained to be bloody executioners. At this moment, for the first time, a strong urge to share () sprouted from deep in his heart.

Under Charles's manor, there is a secret base built specifically for the X-Men. Here, the Blackbird stealth fighter and advanced equipment for the X-Men are all parked here. In addition, there is also a conference room dedicated to the X-Men.

At this moment, Charles summoned all the X-Men to this conference room. "I think everyone has understood the specific situation. What do you think about it?" Charles spoke without his usual gentleness, replaced by a serious tone.

Logan was the first to speak, and he raised the same question: "Who is that illusion master? What kind of person is he?"

Charles looked Logan straight in the eye and answered, "Master of Illusion Jason is a mutant with the talent of mind control and mental illusion. He was once a student in our school. His mind control ability is extremely terrifying, and he is good at creating all kinds of illusions."

Logan seemed a little surprised: "I thought there weren't many people with this kind of talent. Besides you and Jean, this illusion master can actually do what you do, and even remotely control people's minds?"

Charles heard this and shook his head. "That's not the case. The Master of Illusion does not have the ability to remotely control people's minds. His control range is limited. But he is good at setting up illusions, planting a seed in people's hearts, allowing it to take root and sprout, and influencing others through subtle hypnosis."

"And that's how Paul was influenced. The Master of Illusion planted a seed in his heart. As a mutant, Paul had accumulated anger towards humans because of the discrimination and abuse he had suffered. He also had a desire to build a safe and harmonious mutant society. The Master of Illusion took advantage of this gap and cleverly planted a seed that almost no one noticed."

"That makes Paul fight for the future mutant society. This is an idea that comes from deep in his heart and is irresistible to him." Charles said with a slight lament.

"Paul's weakness was exploited by the Master of Illusion. Once extreme ideas are born in one's mind, any extreme behavior is possible. Just like this time, he went with Daken to assassinate Macaulay. Paul was actually hypnotized."

"No wonder I felt something was wrong with Paul when I first saw him. His eyes were dull at the time. He was in a state of exhaustion after losing control of his abilities for the first time. I thought it was a reaction after losing control. It turns out that the seeds of illusion had already been planted in Paul at that time." Cyclops Scott recalled the first time he met Paul.

"In that case, it is very likely that someone found an opportunity for him at the very beginning, and the seeds were planted when he lost control of his abilities." Charles nodded in agreement.

Charles stopped talking here, unwilling to discuss further. Logan understood that Charles did this to save Paul's face. Although Paul was hypnotized, Daken was deceived and foolishly used as a tool. Thinking of this, Logan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Charles continued, "Master of Illusion Jason has poor control over his abilities. When he first came to our academy, his father begged us to heal his son."

At this point, Charles shook his head and sighed: "He regarded his son's mutant awakening as a disease and believed that it could be treated with medicine, just like an infectious disease."

"I tried to guide Jason onto the right path, but..." Charles shook his head again, "His father didn't want this. He simply wanted me to eliminate his son's superpowers. Until finally Jason lost control and killed his mother. His father, the man named Stryker, took Jason away and never came back."

Speaking of Stryker, Charles's face turned gloomy: "Stryker is a military general. Because of his son's affairs and the death of his wife, he has a strong prejudice against mutants. Now, Paul has traces of the Master of Illusion's supernatural powers, and he wants to use this to provoke other people's hostility towards mutants, especially hatred towards the students in our school!"

Charles shook his head firmly: "I can't let this happen again! Our students should not become tools of others. Now that this has happened, I believe Stryker must have a follow-up conspiracy. I will not allow these children to become his victims! X-Men, we need to rely on you this time!"

All the X-Men present looked at Charles with firm eyes and nodded heavily.

In this secret underground base, there is a terrifying weapon for all mankind: the brain thinking enhancer. This device was built with the help of Charles' friend Magneto.

It can expand the range of Charles' brainwaves and strengthen their intensity. It can be said that when using this machine, the earth is almost invisible to Charles. Most of the brains of the seven billion people on the earth are unable to resist his invasion, with only a few exceptions.

Normally, Charles rarely uses this device. But today, he decided to use it to track Stryker's location. Because the illusion master Jason is proficient in illusion thinking, his thinking is one of the few in the world that can avoid Charles' detection. Therefore, Charles had to lock the search target on Stryker.

After locating the location of Stryker's mind, Charles immediately informed the X-Men of Stryker's current location.
