The Mutant God in American Comics.

Seeing him coming back, the White Queen, who was lying on the bed in a sexy white nightgown with a lazy expression on her face, immediately stood up and came to him, and asked softly:

"What happened at the mutant school?"

"Dr. Jean Grey lost control and killed Charles and some of the students."

"I promised Charles before that I would stop the out-of-control Dr. Jean Grey, so I went to stop her and made her regain consciousness."

Richard answered calmly.

Although his tone and expression were calm, a look of shock immediately appeared on the White Queen's face after hearing his answer.

Although she has never been to a mutant school and has had little contact with Professor X, she still admires him very much.

Not only her, Black King Xiao also admired Professor X and had said in front of her more than once that he wanted to bring Professor X into the Hellfire Club.

Of course, Professor X would definitely not accept Black King Xiao's solicitation.

Not to mention joining the Hellfire Club, Professor X didn't let the X-Men deal with the Hellfire Club, which was already a great respect for Black King Shaw.

After calming down, the White Queen frowned and said:

"If Charles dies, without his deterrent power, the authorities and the Department of Mutant Affairs will quickly take action against the X-Men and the mutant school."

"As far as I know, the authorities have long wanted to completely recruit them."

"If they can't recruit them, they don't mind completely eradicating the X-Men and the mutant school to further weaken the cohesion of mutants."

Hearing what the White Queen said, Richard said slowly: "This has nothing to do with us."

"If Jean Grey and the others can't stop the authorities and protect the mutant school, then it would be better for them to disband the mutant school as soon as possible."

"Will you help them?" the White Queen continued.

"No! Stopping a runaway Jean Grey is enough to repay them for taking care of and guiding Clarice."

"Unless they can offer me something interesting or compensation."

"Otherwise, I can't think of any reason for me to continue helping them."

Richard said slowly.

Although Professor X didn't reveal much to him, he always felt that Professor X wouldn't die so easily.

For example, before death, one's consciousness is transferred to a body that has been prepared in advance, with normal organs and nervous system, but without consciousness.

Although this is not in line with Professor X's usual style, but in the face of death and survival, everything is possible.

"What if Clarice begs you?"

The White Queen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Then we'll talk about it then."

Richard replied.

……

Noon the next day.

The reception room on the first floor of the manor.

Natasha, Banner, and Hawkeye sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at Richard with different expressions.

"The Department of Mutant Affairs and the White House are aware of Jean Grey's loss of control last night, which resulted in the death of Charles and some students."

Natasha spoke up.

"And then?" Richard took a sip of the black tea that the maid had just brewed.

"After discussion, they decided to capture Jean Grey to prevent her from causing more casualties."

Natasha said, frowning.

"Whether they want to arrest Dr. Jean Grey is their business."

"What I'm more curious about now is why S.H.I.E.L.D. sent you three to me."

Richard asked Natasha.

Although he could also use telepathy to read their memories directly, he did not intend to do so.

If you use telepathy to spy on other people's memories at will, not to mention that it is very impolite, it will also make him feel like a voyeur.

"The Department of Mutant Affairs hopes that SHIELD can assist in capturing Dr. Jean Grey. Nick Fury asked us to come here to ask for your opinion."

"If you don't support the arrest of Dr. Jean Grey, SHIELD will reject the request of the Department of Mutant Affairs and find a way to convince the top brass in the White House."

Natasha replied without any hesitation.

Hearing her explanation, Richard frowned slightly.

Although SHIELD doesn't have anyone who can deal with him now, no matter how you look at it, this is not the style of SHIELD and Nick Fury.

He didn't think that "Fuck You" Nick Fury was afraid of him, so he asked Natasha and the other two to come and ask for his opinion.

What exactly is the black-salted egg planning?

After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Richard said slowly: "I am not an X-Man, nor a student of the mutant school."

"Although I have met Dr. Jean Grey a few times, I am not friends with her and we do not have any relationship."

"Whether SHIELD should assist the Department of Mutant Affairs in capturing her is for you to decide."

Just when Natasha was about to say something else, Richard's cell phone suddenly rang.

After seeing the name displayed on the phone screen, he said to Natasha and the other two:

"If there is nothing else, you can go back."

"Okay, then we won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, Natasha stood up and left the living room with Banner and Hawkeye.

Only after they followed the maid away did Richard press the answer button.

Before he could say anything, a voice that sounded both experienced and overbearing rang out.

Magneto!

The person who called him was none other than Magneto.

"Is Charles really dead?"

Magneto asked quickly.

"I didn't see his body, but according to Logan and the others, yes, Charles is dead."

Richard replied.

After hearing his answer, Magneto on the other end of the phone immediately fell silent.

Almost ten seconds passed like this before Magneto continued, "I heard from others that you went to the mutant school several times in the past few months. Did Charles say anything to you?"

"For example, trying to get you to join the X-Men, or asking you to protect the school."

"He did try to win me over, but I didn't agree," Richard replied.

"When will Charles' funeral be held?" Magneto continued to ask.

"You should ask Jean Grey and Logan about this."

Richard sighed helplessly and spoke slowly.

"Didn't you stop Qin from getting out of control last night? Didn't they even tell you when Charles' funeral would be held?"

Magneto asked doubtfully.

“Anyway, I haven’t received any notifications yet.”

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."

Richard did not intend to continue this topic and spoke quickly.

"I might go to New York at that time, let's meet then."

Magneto said.

"it is good!"

After answering Magneto, Richard hung up the phone.

……

time flies.

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

During this week, Richard slightly recovered his previous decadent capitalist life and had several in-depth exchanges with New York ladies, socialites, female stars and others.

For him, there was nothing particularly noteworthy in the past week.

But it's different for others.

The news of Professor X's death has spread completely.

Although neither the X-Men nor the official authorities deliberately spread the information, the ubiquitous reporters still found out a lot of "inside" information.

For example, Professor X was killed by Phoenix. The out-of-control Phoenix showed strength far beyond that of an Alpha-level mutant and defeated all the X-Men by herself.

For example, the out-of-control Phoenix Girl was stopped by Richard, and the official and the Department of Mutant Affairs had a plan to capture Phoenix Girl, etc.

After this news was spread, the direct consequence was that Richard and Phoenix were labeled as Omega-level mutants.

Richard had previously demonstrated strength far exceeding that of other Alpha-level mutants, but people at the time still did not think he had reached the Omega level.

Even though he has been dubbed the "humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb".

Now, with the comparisons with Phoenix and Professor X, people immediately labeled him an Omega-level mutant.

The out-of-control Phoenix defeated Professor X and the X-Men together on her own and killed Professor X, proving her strength with her powerful record that could not be ignored.

However, the out-of-control Phoenix Girl was defeated by Richard again.

In addition to the label of Omega-level mutant, Richard also received a second title after "human-shaped self-propelled nuclear bomb".

King of Mutants!

At the beginning, the title of King of Mutants was only circulated in a small range in his fan forum. It was a new title given to him by his fanatical fans after Magneto’s "New Era of Mutants" speech.

As the news of Professor X's murder and Phoenix's loss of control continued to spread, major news media in the United States began to call him the "King of Mutants" for the sake of ratings and traffic.

Although Richard has never publicly admitted that he is the "King of Mutants", it is well known that titles and nicknames are not something that one can decide on his own, but are the result of people's unanimous recognition.

So even though he never admitted it, people outside still regarded him as the king of mutants.

……

Mutant school.

A black Rolls-Royce arrived at the square in front of the school's main building.

As the car door opened, Richard in a black suit and Clarice in a black dress walked out from the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.

As soon as they got out of the car, or to be more precise, as soon as Richard got out of the car, he attracted a lot of attention.

Today is the day of Professor X's funeral. The mutant school, which is usually not open to the public, welcomed many guests to attend the funeral today.

These include graduated students, friends of Professor X, mutants who have been helped by Professor X or the X-Men, official representatives, civilian representatives, leaders of other mutant organizations, and so on.

Although the authorities and the Department of Mutant Affairs were already planning to capture Phoenix, they still sent representatives to attend Professor X's funeral.

Richard ignored the gazes of others and walked towards the garden behind the main building of the school with Clarice.

On the third day after Professor X's death, he received a call from Wolverine, who invited him and Clarice to attend the funeral on behalf of the X-Men.

Although he and Professor X did not have any deep personal friendship, he finally agreed to attend the funeral.

No matter what, Professor X is an old man worthy of respect.

Besides, even if he didn't agree to attend, Clarice would definitely come alone.

On the way to the garden, people kept nodding at him.

Richard didn't know these people, but out of politeness, he nodded slightly in response.

It wasn't long before he and Clarice were in the garden.

After a week of renovation, both the school's main building and the garden have been largely restored to their original appearance.
