"Wow wait, Rhea, what else do you want to do? Isn't this enough for you today?"

The secret agent's bodyguard had a strange look on his face. He pursed his mouth and frowned. He was torn between surprise, depression and excitement and anticipation. Clint wasn't sure which answer he wanted to hear more.

Clint wasn't really keen on working.Rhea, however, usually makes his job more interesting.

"not today."

After the previous events, Rhea has seen that Clint is not a quiet personality.

So Rhea didn't pay him too much attention, but said coldly: "We should really go, please help me, thank you."

This sentence is sending people away.

She glanced at the things in Clint's hands, signaling that he could take them with him.This made Clint's newly mobilized adrenaline return to normal, and he was a little disappointed.

But because there was another mutant here, he only expressed his complaints with facial expressions, and then chose to obey, taking the empty dinner plate and the stained tablecloth and leaving first.

Professor X watched calmly and did not comment on the relationship between Rhea and S.H.I.E.L.D. He just said softly when the other party left: "This person has done thinking training."

"Exercising the brain to only think about fixed things for a certain period of time really helps to improve mental concentration." There is no extra emotion in his words.

This is very similar to how Rhea treated Professor X at the beginning.

At the most embarrassing moment, she even kept cursing in her heart to force out the consciousness of intrusion, which is indeed a bit embarrassing in retrospect——

Obviously SHIELD's training methods are more professional.

Rhea knew that no one wanted to expose the secrets in their hearts.

It's not just Lex Luthor and the vice president who are jealous of Professor X's psychic abilities, but the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. are also carrying out this kind of training in a planned way, which doesn't surprise Rhea.She was annoyed that the former had done these things without saying hello, not their guard.

Even she herself is unwilling to be "mind-read" by Professor X, and Rhea will not be so naive as to hope that other people will open their hearts.

So Rhea just sighed softly: "It seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't figured out their answer yet, we still have to wait." Sending people to Rhea's hands to identify positions is a huge decision, and it's not that easy .

And they are already exercising the members of the organization with a certain composition, which means that they also thought of Rhea and the others to judge

, can lead to problems with handing over power.

However, they pried open a gap in the government. This brief and small victory allowed Rhea to temporarily press down on other thoughts about S.H.I.E.L.D.

Professor X was also not in a hurry, just asking: "Don't you want to know what he used to divert attention?"

Rhea just wanted to follow his words, but she gave up because of the appearance of Lex Luthor again. She shook her head and said, "This is SHIELD's own business, we should go."

Seeing Rhea put her hands on the back of the wheelchair, Professor X pursed her lips, her blue eyes flickered slightly, put away all emotions, and did not speak again.

But Lex Luthor is still willing to stay here after losing, and it is impossible to let Rhea go.

He took the initiative to come over and said: "Oh, be careful! I'll help you." He always quickly recovered from the shock of the last moment, and smiled again, but the smile was hypocritical and exaggerated, and all his actions Rhea was offended.

Just like this time.

Lex pretended to be warm-hearted, as if he was really worried that Rhea couldn't support Professor X alone.Rhea said directly: "No need."

There's Sharon Carter, there's Clint Barton, there's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there's the club students, and it's not Lex's turn anyway.If she doesn't want to, there are people who can help her block Lex Luthor.

But when Rhea chose to avoid it temporarily, Professor X took the initiative to say: "Don't reject others' kindness so quickly, Rhea."

"Charles..."

Rhea was a little surprised. After confirming that Professor X really wanted to chat with Lex Luthor, she decided to cooperate. She watched Professor X nod at Lex: "Then trouble you, young man."

Lex's smile parted, and the corner of his mouth curved into a sharp arc. He walked to Rhea's side and held down the other side of the wheelchair, struggling to occupy a position in the dark.

"Albert Goyle admires you very much, professor, and you are almost convincing him." Lex didn't pretend to be ignorant of their inferior performances, and directly used a familiar tone.

In fact, this is also the first time Lex Luthor and Professor X met.

In front of the vice president, they had already fought back in secret, in order to win over which side the vice president's attitude towards mutants would fall.But now, they decided to have a second confrontation in front of Rhea, for revenge, for mutants, for victory, and for other things.

Professor X chooses words carefully: "Not because of me, but because the vice president is a tolerant person, he

Ability to comprehend things beyond the normal range. "

Lex's facial muscles twitched imperceptibly, and he resisted these abnormalities from the bottom of his heart.He pressed Professor X's wheelchair, but couldn't stand any more touches at all. In fact, Rhea was pushing, and he just pretended to follow.

He sneered: "This is not understanding, this is confusion. Albert Goyle was confused in the face of the temptations and threats you threw - Goyle even refused my gift." Speaking of which, Lex Sighing, he glanced at Rhea with distressed expression on his face.

Rhea didn't look him in the eye, she wasn't interested in acting right now.

"Finish what you want to say quickly! You can protect what's in your head, but you can't protect what's outside of your head, or you're so angry that you've forgotten that this place is all mine." Rhea simply used threats.

"I know. You're building your own team." Lex didn't mind the stalking eyes cast over him, and even stretched his body.

"But aren't you a little too greedy, Rhea? Money alone is not enough, you have to get involved even with power... This game will only be harder than Hollywood, are you sure you have thought it through clearly?"

He chatted about the topic naturally.

Lex told Rhea: "You do have the qualifications for admission, but you only reach the passing line. Even if you put everything you have into it, it is only one in ten thousand. This is also a money-burning game, but it is not 1000 A huge movie production of ten thousand or one hundred million, this is a bargaining chip of tens or hundreds of billions, you can't afford it!"

"All the related experimental projects in Essex can't reach this cost." Lex glanced at Professor X, and there was only a chill in his eyes.

Professor X's face darkened, which stripped off his cloak of amiability, revealing a majestic and sharp side.

"Riya's bargaining chip is not money."

Lex took over the words: "Her bargaining chip is you. But professor, you are in the United States, and the price is clearly marked."

Rhea threatens him with orders - and it works.After she ruins an experiment, Lex needs to keep the new business.

That being the case, they came to chat about business.

Only in this way, the topic becomes too explicit.Rhea interrupted coldly: "If you want to buy or sell, then anything can have a price. Lex, you also have a price!"

Lex laughed out loud: "I know! And I'm worth a lot!"

His laughter went from high to low, and gradually became lighter but still carried an uncomfortable irony.

Thorn meaning.Lex added a statement.

"I'm richer than you, Rhea, and I'm richer than Essex—you've brought the business down yourself, and you're not running Essex. You're making money, but Also keep spending, paying, you are being..."

Lex Luthor swallowed the latter words in disgust, and leaned over to say, "Sooner or later you will be worn down."

"Because you will only invest more and more, but the rewards you get may not necessarily be the same." Lex sneered: "It is a long process for people to accept something, but it is very easy for them to refuse!"

Rhea has a bad feeling.She had a vague sense of Lex's intentions, if he wanted to continue this fight.If she chooses one side, he will definitely choose the other side.

When this lunatic gets serious, it will only be more terrifying.

Rex continued his speech: "You induced the vice president to go down the road of technology, and the Harvard students applauded! Wow, the speech was a big success. Evolutionary technology will make the world a better place. You won again. You won the recognition of the intellectual elite.

But they do not represent everyone, and the mainstream of society is still conservative and closed.

Hollywood movies always love the doomsday future - because society is afraid and worried about advanced technology.And you're still accelerating the process, Rhea, do you really think you can outrun human fear? "

He turned to the mutant in the wheelchair after a drawn-out tone: "Professor, what do you think? Will human beings indulge in the benefits you bring first, or surrender to the harm you cause first?"

Lex was very much like a student asking questions in class, except that he maliciously asked a question that the professor couldn't answer.He deeply analyzed human nature from the completely opposite angle, and Professor X knew that everything Lex proposed could be traced.

Framing and slander can destroy a hero, not to mention that there is no such a "hero" rooted in the hearts of the people.

Lex brutally reveals the truth that Professor X tries to ignore.

If this path is successful, Rhea can indeed get enough benefits from the victory of the mutants, but if it fails, she must also bear all the consequences that follow.

She will fall from the throne of the goddess to the burning pyre and be repressed as the "witch of the 21st century".

The number of victories made them intoxicated, and Professor X couldn't help but look at the better side.But isn't this passing the risk on to Rhea Nolen - the mutants are taking more and more

The bet is on Rhea, which is actually forcing Rhea to act more and more aggressively in disguise.

Expectations are rising and ambitions are growing.

When she started to fight for the mutants' first rights, the pressure shifted from the two mutant leaders Professor X and Magneto.Whether this is intentional or not, she is becoming the so-called "Mutant Queen".

When Professor X fell silent because of Lex's words, Rhea just asked calmly, "Lex, are you done?"

The question brought Lex's gaze back to her, and Lex Luthor's eyeballs stopped and stared at Rhea motionlessly, but he didn't see what he wanted to see.

Wavering, hesitation, doubt... not even a little bit of confusion.

How can it be? !

Lex Luthor let go of the wheelchair and came closer. He wanted to stick to Rhea's face and even get into Rhea's brain, but the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could not let this go.

Before Lex made any further changes, a male bodyguard who volunteered immediately stopped him.

Lex didn't even give the agent a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, he just stared at Rhea, he asked unwillingly: "Why? Do you just believe that you can't be wrong? Or do you trust your 'friends'?"

He simply didn't believe that anyone was so naive—maybe there were fools of faith in this world, but it wasn't Rhea Noren.

Rhea is the same kind of person as he is, and they are always for themselves.So Lex couldn't imagine why she chose mutants.In the case that she already has all this, she will only get everything she wants more easily if she invests in something more popular and mainstream.

She seems to decide that a future with mutants is the future.

Rhea didn't avoid Lex's gaze. She stated for herself: "I don't believe in myself, or my friends, Lex, I just believe that you must be wrong. Because you just lose to me time and time again." , you are a loser."

She was pissing off Lex, and she was succeeding.

The words really stabbed Lex, and he stared at Rhea Noren sullenly and paranoidly, as if he could slice through her skin, skull, prefrontal lobe with his eyes, until he dug out every nerve in her brain.

"you!"

Rhea directly signals to her bodyguard agent to stun him before he gets any crazier.She cleared her throat and raised her voice: "Can anyone help me? Lex is not well, take him to rest!"

The movement on this side has long attracted the attention of the people in the field——

When Rhea said this, several boys ran over immediately, but they were a little embarrassed.They mistook this for a personal relationship between Lex and Rhea.

There are such rumors in the Harvard school.

But they didn't expect that on such an occasion, Lex would lose his composure so much.

Clint handed over Lex Luthor to the boys, explaining perfunctorily, "Probably drunk." This only made the situation worse, as everyone knew that there was no alcohol at all at the party today.

Rhea added: "Lex has been under too much pressure recently, please let him know more. I don't want something as bad as Lena to happen to Lex."

This caused some gasps: "Did something really happen to Lena Luthor...?"

Now Rhea has the will to act, and she's doing great.She paused angrily, and then changed her words: "Sorry, when I didn't say anything, please take care of him, please."

Putting it away and closing it makes it even more imaginative.

It's easy to think of problems with the family history of mental illness, and Lex Luthor does occasionally act neurotic.It's just his smarts, his talk, and his successful entrepreneurial history that people are willing to accommodate and tolerate.

The boys didn't dare to ask any more questions, bowed their heads and left under Rhea's gaze.

Sharon Carter came over to help move them and lead the way. She passed Aaron Todd of BC under Rhea's instructions.

Something fell off Lex Luthor.

Prompted by anxiety and nervousness, Aaron Todd picked up the paper.
