Not long after, Charles followed Peter back to the reading room, but, to Rebecca's surprise, he didn't delve into the matter of Madam Viper taking Xavier as a target.

After looking at each teenager quietly, Charles said: "I said that I will not interfere with your going or staying, and naturally I will not force you to stay in Xavier, so you don't need to lie in front of me."

When the teenagers heard what Charles said, they were a little flustered, and they all turned to look at Rebecca.

Following their line of sight, Charles also slowly turned his head to look at Rebecca.

Rebecca smiled and said, "Lying? If you're referring to Mrs. Viper, to be precise, we just said the worst possible outcome of the matter."

Charles smiled, looked at Rebecca, and asked, "Heidi Colin used to be a student of Xavier, and she studied and lived here."

Rebecca was startled, and immediately, a look of annoyance flashed across her face. If she had known this, she would not have blamed Xavier, but it was too late to know now.

So, she looked at Charles calmly and said, "Well, yes, we lied, Mrs. Viper's goal is not Xavier."

"What?" Peter yelled on the side, "Not Xavier? Hey, that means you guys conspired to deceive me just now?"

Rebecca shrugged and said with a smile: "Yes, we lied to you, but you have to blame yourself, right? Who made you so easy to deceive!"

"I'm easy to cheat?" Peter looked at Rebecca angrily, and said, "Hey! I'm not a fool, okay? I trust you to be fooled!"

"Peter!"

When Peter heard Charles call his name, he had to pat Rebecca's chest hard, and winked at her: Hey, girl, won't your conscience ache?

not at all!Rebecca looked at him blankly for a while, then slowly turned her gaze away.

Peter stared at Rebecca speechlessly.Well, well, the girl didn't take his accusations to heart at all!

Rebecca said to Charles: "Since you know we lied, you should also understand that we don't want to stay here, don't you? So, can we go now?"

Charles glanced at Rebecca, turned his eyes, looked at Thomas, the rattan boy who was lowering his head, and said, "All five of you, are you sure you want to leave Xavier?"

Chris, the fire control boy, stood up and said, "Of course."

There was a faint smile on Charles' lips, and he said, "Okay, Peter, take them to see the children in the medical room, and then send them out."

Peter looked at Charles puzzled, and said, "Professor, did you just let them go? I think it's much safer here than outside. Maybe they might be recaptured by those bad guys as soon as they go out? "

"Hey! Red underwear! Are you cursing us?" Chris said displeased. "You better worry about yourself? Lady Viper is not easy to mess with!"

Rebecca stood up, and before Peter could make a sound, she said, "Okay, take us to see K-11, then obey the professor and send us out!"

Peter glanced at Rebecca, folded his arms and looked around at the teenagers, and said, "Okay, follow me!"

Chris was the first to walk towards Peter, followed by the Barbed Boy and George, followed by Rebecca, and the last one standing up was the Rattan Boy Thomas.

Charles watched everyone's expressions, and there was a look in Rebecca's eyes that Rebecca couldn't understand. When she passed him, she heard him say, "Rebecca, I want to talk to you."

The teenagers turned to look at Rebecca upon hearing the sound, their faces full of doubts.

Rebecca twitched the corners of her mouth. Well, I knew it would not be so easy to get away with it. She turned her head and asked with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about? Can't it be another day?"

Charles looked at Rebecca with an unpredictable expression, and said slowly, "I'm afraid not."

Rebecca thought for a while and said, "Okay!" Then she stopped, "You guys go first!"

The teenagers nodded silently.

"Then, professor, shall I take the four of them to the medical room first?" Peter asked uncertainly.

Charles nodded and said, "Okay!"

Rebecca watched Peter leave with the four teenagers. After the door of the reading room was automatically closed, she said, "If you want to persuade me to stay, it's probably useless, professor." She looked at Charles, " As for the reason, I think you have probably guessed it."

Charles looked at Rebecca calmly, and said, "That kid in the medical room has lost his talent."

"Really?" Rebecca said disinterestedly: "He wasn't born with the ability to control metals. It's a good thing for him to lose this ability that was acquired through experiments."

"Rebecca, what did you do to him?" Charles asked.

"Me?" Rebecca thought for a while and said, "I just took away what didn't belong to him."

Charles stared at Rebecca. There was no trace of worry on her face. She couldn't help but sighed slightly, and said, "That child is in a very bad situation because of you."

Rebecca was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

"He may die," Charles said. "No matter what you did to him, this kind of forced genetic change in a short period of time is very rough and cruel."

Rebecca was silent for a while, and asked, "Now... can I go to see K-11?"

"Of course." Charles turned around in the wheelchair and drove towards the slowly opened door of the reading room. When he drove out of the door, he turned his head and said to Rebecca who was still standing in the reading room: "Follow me Come."

Rebecca hurriedly followed, and after walking a distance behind Charles, she hesitated and said, "How do you know... K-11... I did it?"

Charles smiled faintly and said, "Oh, actually, I didn't know you did it."

What?Rebecca stopped in surprise, looking at Charles who continued to move unhurriedly, so he deliberately lied to her just now, right?Damn it, he's way more cunning than she knows!As expected of a man with the strongest brain.

"Rather than being cunning, I suggest you understand it as a life experience that has been lived for 90 years." Charles said calmly in front of him without turning his head.

Rebecca grabbed her shirt with both hands, glared at Charles, and said, "Hey, it's not good for you to rely on the old man like this, isn't it? This is so unlike the legendary Professor X!"

"The legendary Professor X?" Charles turned his head, smiled, and said, "So, are you disappointed?"

Rebecca tilted her head to look at him, and said slowly, "It's not disappointing, I just feel that you... seem to be no different from my father."

Charles laughed when he heard the words, looked at Rebecca gently and said, "Eric and I...except for the difference in personal aspirations, as you said, there is really no difference."

"I mean, you both like to sell your old age!" said Rebecca.

"Oh, really?" Charles' expression softened, "Speaking of which, Eric shouldn't know that you were taken away by Heidi, right?"

Rebecca's originally sunny expression turned cloudy, and she said, "Can we hurry up? Didn't you say that K-11 is dying?"

Charles watched her walk in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said, "Rebecca, he doesn't know you exist yet, does he?"

Rebecca's back stiffened suddenly, she turned her head and said, "No, he knows, it's just..." She bit her lip, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Charles remained silent, looked at her quietly for a long time, and said, "Rebecca."

Rebecca turned her head and watched him operate the wheelchair to her side.

Charles held out his hand to her and said, "Take my hand."

Rebecca looked at his hands, but didn't move.

"Don't be afraid, come here." Charles looked at her kindly with a smile.

Rebecca reached out hesitantly, and placed it in Charles's waiting large hand.

Charles immediately put her hand in his palm and said: "Don't blame him for neglecting you, no matter what, as you said, your talent is his daughter, and similarly, you are also God to him Give him a gift."

Rebecca didn't answer, and looked down at Charles' hand. His palm was wide and warm, just like the big hand she imagined her father should have, but it wasn't her father's hand.

"As an old friend of his, you can trust me, dear." Charles looked at her and smiled, "Xavier will always open the door to you."

Rebecca raised her eyes, raised her eyebrows and said, "You're trying to persuade me to stay, aren't you?"

Charles looked at her with a smile and said, "Eric comes to Xavier occasionally."

Rebecca pulled out her hand, put it behind her, raised her chin slightly, and said, "I said, I just haven't seen him for a long time, it doesn't mean I can't see him!" She paused and asked : "He really... occasionally comes here?"

Charles' smile deepened, and he said in a joking tone: "The legendary Professor X shouldn't lie, right?"

Rebecca nodded, and said bluntly, "I can stay here, you convinced me, although I don't know why you did it, but now I think it seems quite interesting here."

Charles nodded and said gently: "Okay, then, let's go and see that child now."

Rebecca didn't answer, and followed him silently to the medical room. At the door of the medical room, she reached out and grabbed the armrest of Charles' wheelchair, and said, "Actually, K-11's situation is not as serious as you said! "After speaking, she pushed open the door and walked in.

Charles watched Rebecca enter the medical room with a deep smile on his lips.
