Chapter 34 - 34

Breaking news: The National High-Level Congressional Summit will be held tomorrow night on Liberty Island in Manhattan, New York. This summit will be the first formal congressional discussion on the Mutant Registration Act, bringing mutants who have been hiding in the shadows into the open."

"Among those attending the talks are anti-mutant crusader Senator Kelly, Senator Gyrich..."

Senator Kelly listened to the news report on the car radio, a triumphant smile constantly on his face.

After the last hearing, he had finally brought the social issue of mutants into national congressional discussions for the first time. If the Mutant Registration Act truly passed, he would become famous overnight, becoming one of the most sought-after senators of the moment.

No, not one of, but the only one!

As long as the mutant problem was solved by him, he would definitely rise from his position as senator at the fastest speed, gaining even greater power.

Senator Kelly's car drove quickly, and soon, it arrived outside an airfield. On the airfield, there was a helicopter specially prepared for him.

Senator Kelly would take this helicopter to Liberty Island to attend the National High-Level Congressional Summit.

"Mutants out of America!"

"Thank you, Senator Kelly..."

"Mutants are devils, they ruined my family, all mutants should die!"

...Outside the airfield, many people had gathered. They were all people who had strong opinions about mutants, holding up conspicuous signs with anti-mutant slogans.

As soon as he got out of the car, Senator Kelly heard these people shouting loudly at him, welcoming his arrival.

Senator Kelly felt very pleased; the more people who supported him, the greater the power he could obtain!

He got out of the car, waved friendly greetings to his supporters, and then, escorted by bodyguards, he boarded the helicopter.

"Senator Gyrich, do you approve of gun control? Mutant children can be more powerful than guns. Would you really allow a child to carry a gun?"

Once on the plane, Senator Kelly immediately pulled out his phone and made several calls, lobbying other senators attending the summit, hoping to gain a greater advantage for his Mutant Registration Act.

However, no matter how Senator Kelly lobbied, those senators did not agree to any of his requests, continuously replying with vague words.

These people who could become senators were all old foxes among old foxes. They wanted Senator Kelly to continue being the one to stick his neck out, so that they themselves would not suffer any disadvantages in this matter.

"Senator Kelly, you will certainly gain many benefits from this globally watched high-level summit. You will be the biggest winner."

Senator Kelly's bodyguard was also on the helicopter. Seeing that Senator Kelly seemed a bit unhappy, he began to flatter him.

"It's not that simple. This is America. Although we repel mutants, they don't dare to stand up! This is a war, and I must persevere!"

Senator Kelly shook his head, explained to the bodyguard, and then looked out the helicopter window.

Looking at the endless sea below, Senator Kelly frowned, "Aren't we going to Liberty Island? Where is this?"

Senator Kelly turned his head in confusion, wanting to see what was going on, only to find that his originally tall and strong bodyguard had transformed into a blue-skinned, shapely woman with blue hair!

Senator Kelly immediately understood what was happening. He was about to call for help when the blue-skinned woman kicked him aside with her foot, knocking him unconscious.

"It's because of people like you that I didn't even dare to go to school when I was a child!"

The blue-haired woman had a pair of yellow eyes, but at this moment, her yellow eyes were filled with hatred.

The helicopter continued to fly, and soon, it arrived inside a damp cave.

Senator Kelly slowly woke up. He saw the blue-skinned woman again, and then there was a guy who could stick out a long tongue, a guy with golden hair, and an old man with white hair who was still full of vigor.

"Who are you? Where's my bodyguard, Henry?" Seeing these people standing in front of him, Senator Kelly asked in terror.

"Henry died a long time ago, Senator Kelly. Mystique has been following you all this time; she has the ability to change her form at will."

Standing directly in front of Senator Kelly was the white-haired old man. He sneered and replied to Senator Kelly.

"You mutants harming me won't do you any good; it will only prove that the bill I proposed is not wrong." Knowing that he had already fallen into a mutant den, Senator Kelly began to try to use words to gain an opportunity to escape.

"Do you fear God? That's a strange question." "I believe God is a guide, a beacon, the comfort of wisdom and the soul. But in fact, what you fear in your heart is... me!"

The white-haired old man looked at Senator Kelly, his demeanor becoming arrogant. He continued, "We are mutants, super-powered individuals!"

After speaking, the old man turned and walked towards a metal instrument. As he walked, the metal chair Senator Kelly was sitting in also began to move, making Senator Kelly even more terrified.

"Do not fear God, and do not fear me, because you will no longer need to be afraid!"

The old man finished speaking and had already entered the metal instrument. He raised the metal instrument into the air, placing his hands on the two armrests of the instrument.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Watching the old man enter the metal instrument, Senator Kelly became increasingly frightened. He already understood who this white-haired old man was.

Erik Lehnsherr, nicknamed 'Magneto,' possessing the ability to control any metal, is a leader of the mutant community!

Senator Kelly had seen information about Magneto in some files and knew that Magneto was a ruthless individual who would stop at nothing for mutants, and he harbored a deep hatred for humans. Now that he had fallen into Magneto's hands, he probably had no chance of escaping!

"Of course, to make you one of us, Senator Kelly!"

Magneto scoffed an explanation, then immediately activated the instrument without further wasted words with Senator Kelly.

Subsequently, the metal instrument began to spin rapidly, and then gradually emitted circles of white light, completely engulfing Senator Kelly, who was not far from the metal instrument!

After a short period, the white light began to rapidly contract, and Senator Kelly, due to the illumination of the white light, his eyes became lifeless, as if he had lost his soul!
