The weather was fine on Sunday. When Phoenix opened his eyes, he saw the blue sky beyond the green leaves. A bird whose name he could not name was jumping on the branch and singing softly.

There is the sweet smell of milk in the air, and everything is peaceful and beautiful.

The young man squinted his eyes and retracted into the quilt. His long white hair, as smooth as satin, was spread on the pillow, like a lazy cat, stretching its paws comfortably on the mat.

Then he turned over, hugged the quilt and pointed at the young man standing by the bed who had been staring at him, Gogou pointed: "Good morning, Zero."

The young man's blue eyes were clearer than the sky outside the window. He knelt down and hooked his fingers, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything, and said softly, "Are you awake?"

"If you don't go downstairs, Charles will come up by himself." Phoenix murmured with half-closed eyes.

Zero smiled and asked, "Do you want maple syrup on the muffins?"

"Strawberry muffin?" Phoenix asked, crawling out of the quilt involuntarily.

"Ah."

"Let's go, let's spread it!"

Charles, who was about to go to morning exercises, saw Phoenix with a pious face, holding a small cup with both hands and filling the golden and red muffins with maple syrup, and felt a faint toothache.

"Still dressed up today, beauty."

Phoenix gave him a wink: "Thank you dear."

Then he continued to look down, making sure that all the limited maple syrup had been poured out, and then he clapped his hands and began to enjoy breakfast.

In the morning at the Xavier Gifted Youth School, the principal and only teacher led the team. Several mutants who were different in height, age, gender, education, and many other aspects began to do morning exercises.

There are those who enjoy delicious food on weekends in the restaurant, those who stay in bed on weekends in the bedroom, and those who plan to go out for fun at the school gate...

Although there were less than 20 people, it seemed very lively.

Carter was the first to come here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., accompanied by Minister Osborn of the CIA and Agent Mora.

Michael Miller, who was ignored by Phoenix, also came with an elderly mutant. Phoenix took Mark to sit on the grass in the distance, and heard Zero tell him: "That's House member Luke Russell, His other identity is that he is a descendant of Skull and Bones founder William Russell."

In Hydera, Zero learned to "eavesdrop" on other people's conversations through facial muscle activities, and with his excellent eyesight, he can know a lot without leaving traces.

In order to show proper courtesy and friendliness, Phoenix must not use mind reading frequently unless he is sure that he will not be detected.

"Michael is his wife's student. He kept mentioning the school and said he was very curious, so they came here earlier." Ling translated simultaneously.

That is, a few hours ahead of everyone else.

"Greetings?"

"Ah."

Phoenix didn't pass, he carried Mark's head on his lap, and he leaned on Zero. The family is very satisfied with the current situation.

In the cool morning, it is suitable to sit in the shade of a tree, read books (comics), read books (novels) and read books (recipes).

"Tell me about Skull and Bones? Sounds cool." Phoenix raised his arm and poked Zero.

Mark said positively: "I know, Dad!"

Phoenix then pokes zero again and makes Mark say, "That's awesome baby, tell me about it."

"Skull and Bones was established by William Russell at Yale University in 1832. At the beginning, it faced Yale University and recruited 15 members each year. It began to expand the scope of enrollment in 1938. After 1960, it was basically determined that it would only recruit members among Ivy League schools. It is also one of the important reasons for the establishment of the Ivy League.

Skull and Bones has almost gathered the most cutting-edge elites in the Northeast. Among the oldest families in the country, ten families have been rooted in it for generations. There have been 3 presidents, 2 Supreme Court justices, and countless congressmen and senior cabinet officials. Can influence elections. "

Jarvis quietly added to Phoenix: [In the future, Skull and Bones will still be one of the most influential organizations in the country. 】

Phoenix nodded to express his understanding, and then squeezed Mark's face: "Baby is really amazing."

The praised little robot rubbed Phoenix's fingers, and did not forget to thank his loyal teammates: [Thanks to you Jarvis! 】

[My honor, master. 】

"Your family is not in it, but your brother has a good relationship with them?" Phoenix asked Zero.

The Kony family is not in the Skull and Bones Society. To be precise, they are not yet eligible to apply for membership.

The membership rules of the Skull and Bones Club are rich and aristocratic families, preferably immigrants from the United Kingdom, with aristocratic blood.The Kony family only gained a firm foothold in the upper class in the last generation, and to be precise, they are still new rich.If you want to join, you have to maintain the current glory, and the next generation will have a chance.

"Although we haven't joined, we still have regular contact," Ling said, "What the Koni family wants to do, they will always do."

Seeing that Phoenix didn't move, Charles knew he wasn't interested in coming.To be honest, Phoenix is ​​not a person who is good at receiving people. His attitude towards people often depends on "interest" and "mood", or people like Zero, Charles, and Tony who have more or less helped him and have connections with him.

Speaking of interest, Phoenix is ​​only interested in one person who came today - that writer named Li, Phoenix has read his novels, and recently read his comics!

As the only ordinary person invited, who is "ordinary" in every way, this writer has a very unusual interest, which is the supernatural. He is fascinated by all supernatural phenomena and powers, and can light up every minute The spark of his inspiration.The more information I read, the more interested Phoenix became in him.

So when Phoenix saw him dragging his suitcase and looking left and right into the school, he greeted Alex, who was in charge of the reception, and went by himself.

"Are you going?" Phoenix asked Mark.

Eight years old today, but the laziest little robot thought about it for a while, and shook his head decisively: "I don't want to walk around, can you pick me up when you need it?"

"Little slob," Phoenix poked his head, "call me if you need something."

"I love you, Dad." The little robot arched, and continued reading in a comfortable position.

Although physically lazy, he unexpectedly likes brain-burning mystery novels.So it's no surprise that "Captain America", who likes confrontation and emphasizes the relationship between people, is still deeply disgusted by Mark.

Phoenix made a gesture to Zero, jumped onto the tree with a light leap, and then changed into Li's appearance in the teleportation.

"Hi!" He suddenly appeared in front of the youth and greeted with a smile.

Looking all the way in the mood of treasure hunting, the slow-moving young man took a breath, and then leaned over with wide eyes: "Hi! Are you a mutant? Have you become like me?"

"Welcome to Xavier School for Gifted Youth, I'm Phoenix." Phoenix changed back to his own form in front of Li and stretched out his hand.

"Cool!" Li immediately dropped the box and took Phoenix's hand with both hands, "Hello, I'm Li! I'm very happy to be here, very, very honored!"

"I'll take you to visit the school, we have other mutants here."

"Okay, okay." Li nodded and followed Phoenix, like a passionate little fan, with nothing else in his eyes.

Phoenix took him back a few steps and picked up the suitcase that the owner had forgotten.

"I'll come, I'll come, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li finally realized.

Phoenix found it interesting, and reminded with a smile: "Don't be nervous, mutants are actually ordinary people."

"I'm sorry, I just suddenly..." Li Shen took a few breaths, but it didn't help. He still spoke very fast, "I never thought that I would see mutants in my lifetime. I was so excited. I heard the news that day. Organized an outline overnight..."

"A novel? Or a comic?"

"It's a script, the Koni family is willing to invest... um..." Li choked when Zero came to him.He has a good memory and has communicated with the Koni family many times, so of course he will remember this face.

"I'm Andre, Phoenix's housekeeper." Zero introduced himself very calmly.

Phoenix appeared here and began to reveal more superpowers. What he was going to do, as the person closest to him, Ling had already known.And where he wants to stand, Zero has already decided.

The name Andre, coupled with such a recognizable face, of course, Li would not think it was all a coincidence.

But why the eldest son of the Coney family, who died young, appeared here, and regarded himself as Phoenix's butler...or his subordinate, Li was at a loss.

But the Kony family couldn't possibly be ignorant.

Come to think of it, today will be very lively.

Li and Ling shook hands, unconsciously bent slightly, and solemnly said, "Hi, I'm Li."

Regardless of the reason, Andre Kony is a World War II hero, and Li Tiansheng is full of admiration for all kinds of heroes.

Zero didn't talk much when he was around Phoenix, even if he observed deliberately, he didn't have any fluctuations.Followed closely behind Phoenix, like a shadow behind him.His face was expressionless, and he only responded when Phoenix called him.

Li quickly put this question aside. With more and more mutants appearing, Phoenix didn't even need to say anything. Seeing the mutants' free appearance, seriously practicing using superpowers, or walking by together, It seems that there is no boundary between mutants and ordinary people. They already live in the same world, and Li himself can make up beautiful stories of tens of thousands of words.

He walked in the ideal world in his mind, and entered his own fantasy world without saying a word.

In the end, the arrival of more and more guests made Li sober, and he almost stammered with excitement: "God, God! Maria Taylor! James Byron! I have worked with them!"

He grabbed his pants nervously, "I didn't expect them to be mutants too, I used to be so close to you!"

Maria Taylor and James Byron, even if Phoenix doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, their names, photos and videos appear in street advertisements, newspapers, TV... various media.

The blond-haired and blue-eyed Maria Taylor is over 30 years old and is still considered the sexiest American actress. When it comes to American actresses, or America, most people will think of her.

As for James Byron, he was nominated three times for Best Actor and won a prize once. Although he has received mixed reviews due to his rebellious character in recent years, he is also one of the most expensive male stars in Hollywood.

Phoenix didn't investigate Byron's superpowers, but Taylor's Phoenix could feel it as soon as he saw her.If she was born suitable for the showbiz industry, her superpower is a strong attraction almost hypnotic, and everyone who sees her within a certain range will be more or less attracted.Coupled with her already excellent appearance and figure, even Phoenix felt amazed in the first few seconds. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she was affected by her superpower.

Li went to say hello to his two acquaintances, and the people who appeared one after another were exactly as they expected, and no one was unknown.

The media tycoons Colvin and Murdoch, the speculator King Field, the banker Ackerman, the investor Hammond, the legendary athlete Michelle, and the federal senator Bran who have cooperated with the Kony family...

And, of course, then-Attorney General Robert Coyne, Zero's younger brother.

Just listening to Zero's introduction, Phoenix can imagine the energy of these people.Regardless of their prowess as mutants - frankly, superpowers are rarely very strong.Just saying that as humans, they are already at the top of their group.

It is really not easy to communicate with these people and reach a consensus.

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Zero sent Phoenix the latest Captain America.

Mark: Simple minded!childish!Sticky!

Phoenix: But I love it.

Mark: I'm going to draw a comic where a genius inventor saves the world with his intellect (emphasis)!

Phoenix: Wow, that must be cool!

Mark: Well, just wait and see!Jarvis, let's go!
