Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Future of Mutants

"Madam, here we are."

The taxi driver turned to Jean, who was sitting in the back seat.

At the same time, her finger pointed to the manor outside the car, which was small but looked very clean and tidy.

As soon as she paid, got out of the car and entered the estate, Jean experienced an indescribable feeling.

There were no words to describe it.

"A little seasick after a long trip?"

Jean had forgotten how long it had been since she had been alone on the street since joining the X-Men.

Every day she did nothing but teach students and go on assignments.

Car rides were very rare.

Comparing the address, Jean was convinced that this was Alex's house.

After ringing the doorbell, she waited for a while and finally saw a figure come out of the mansion.

"Hello, Mr. Alex."

"Do you remember me?"

When she left the house, Jean disguised herself a little so that she would not be recognized.

Only when she saw Alex come out, she took off the silk scarf from her head and sunglasses from her face.

"Jin?"

Alex was a little surprised how Jean could suddenly appear at his estate.

Seeing Alex's expression, Jean smiled and said, "Used a little trick to get your editor to give your address."

When she first encountered Alex, Jean realized that Alex was not someone who liked to play riddles.

Showing a little honesty in front of him would be the right decision.

Alex could also guess what tactics Jean was using.

"Come in."

Alex opened the door and invited Jean to enter the estate.

He also helped Jean get rid of the containment of her mutation.

[Is Jean Grey listed as a mutant?]

[Jean Grey mutation containment removed].

The biggest difference between Jean and Gwen is that one of them has mental abilities, and the other has physical strength.

Therefore, when Jean entered the estate, the sensations were not as obvious as Gwen's.

Therefore, after Alex removed the suppression of the magnetic field, this indescribable feeling disappeared.

It didn't have much effect.

More surprising to Jean was that she was now completely immune to Alex.

There was suddenly a kind of mystery in Alex's body.

"What's going on?"

Although Jean was inwardly very surprised, she didn't ask directly.

What if it was the other party's secret?

Led by Alex, Jean entered the manor.

On the roof.

"Drink?"

"I'm fine, Mr. Alex."

Jean was a guest in someone's house for the first time and looked a little confused.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Alex also probably guessed the reason why Jean came to him.

The few words he said after drinking that night, Jean obviously took to heart.

After a while, Alex took out two cups of tea with milk from the house.

"Here."

Jean took them in her hands, and the warmth of the cups calmed her nervous heart for a moment.

At the same time, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Alex, what is this?".

It was not an ordinary tea or an alcoholic drink.

It was the first time Jean had seen such a drink.

"Milk tea, my original drink."

"Try it."

Curious, Jean opened her small mouth and took a cautious sip.

As soon as the milk tea got into her mouth, Jean felt all the taste buds on her tongue blossom.

Moreover, the sweetness of the milk tea immediately calmed her nervous heart.

"Delicious!"

After tasting it, Jean immediately explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Alex."

"This is the first time I drink such a good drink, I can't hold back."

"It's okay, it's human nature to enjoy good food and admire it."

Alex took a sip too.

Mmm~ The taste is great!

"Mr. Alex, I really came this time."

"I wanted to continue with you the conversation that took place at the ball and about why you consider Professor Xavier's idea a failure."

"Are mutants really left with nothing in the end?"

Alex only smiled slightly at Jean's question: "It looks like you've been thinking about it all this time."

Jean nodded her head vigorously.

"If you came to me today, it would be right for you to have your answer in your head."

If Jean had still insisted on the same thing as Professor X, naturally she wouldn't have come to Alex.

The fact that she came to Alex meant that deep down Jean began to agree with Alex's words.

During this time, Jean thought a lot.

Especially when she was in class and looking at the children of the X Academy.

Professor X had obviously done a lot, but these kids were still confined to the X Academy.

They couldn't go anywhere else.

Facts told Jean that Professor X's philosophy was useless.

Even if Jean didn't want to admit it, reality hit her in the face.

"But, Mr. Alex, if there is no philosophy of Professor Xavier, are we just going to follow the path of the Brotherhood of Mutants?"

"Make people accept us?"

Alex shook his head, "Magneto and Professor X, these two are two extremes."

"Both of them, whoever they are, end up with the same result."

One thinks only about how to lick, the other knows only how to kill.

In a sense, Magneto's methods are the optimal solution.

But, unfortunately, Magneto is not strong enough yet.

One man defeating God cannot win the game.

"Mr. Alex, I don't understand."

Jean felt that her knowledge was lacking.

It was clear that Professor X and Magneto represented two concepts of mutant survival, and if they both eventually led to mutant extinction.

Wouldn't that mean that all mutants would eventually die?

Alex did not sharply criticize Jean for not immediately understanding what he meant-after all, these were the limitations of the bad situation in which he had lived since childhood.

Alex thought that if Professor X had taken a short refresher course in the ancient history of the Ancient East.

He would be able to understand from it the highest cosmic theorem.

"Gene, the future of mutants can never depend on the handouts of others."

"Instead, it should be in your own hands!"
