Inside the White House, Ellis looked at the Blue-skinned Mutant in front of him, a slight grin playing on his lips.
As president, he naturally received certain privileges, including acquiring Hundred-year Internal Energy from Kingpin at almost cost price.
Like a new driver eager to show off, he'd been itching to try it out. And now, as luck would have it, a mutant assassination attempt presented itself.
"You made the first move. As the President of the United States, I will launch an unrestricted counterattack, based on the principle of self-defense."
After saying this, Ellis frantically gestured to the Secret Service agents, signaling them to quickly take out their phones and record. This was a perfect opportunity to show off.
The hypnotized Nightcrawler couldn't understand what the human across from him was saying. He only knew he had to eliminate his target.
But before Nightcrawler could make a move, Ellis roared, "HAAAA!" His surging Internal Energy blasted apart the surrounding tables and shelves.
Ellis had no martial arts background, so he could only clumsily use his Internal Energy to enhance his physical attributes. However, this was more than enough against Nightcrawler, whose physical attributes, aside from his mutant abilities, were only slightly superior to those of an ordinary person.
In an instant, Ellis's body became a blur. Before Nightcrawler could react, his right palm slammed heavily into the mutant's chest. The terrifying force shattered several ribs, sending Nightcrawler flying backward, coughing up blood.
"Hmph, this palm strike is worth at least 2 billion in cash. Can you handle that?" Ellis snorted coldly.
Seeing Nightcrawler several meters away, the president wanted to press his advantage, but the mutant then dissolved into a cloud of blue smoke and vanished.
"Did you get all of that on camera?" Ellis asked the Secret Service agent beside him.
"It happened too fast to capture, but the room's internal surveillance should have recorded everything," the Secret Service guard replied.
"Good. After copying the video, send it out immediately," Ellis nodded seriously.
Feeling the powerful Internal Energy coursing through his body, and recalling what Bai Ye had said, a surge of confidence welled up within Ellis.
'My Hundred-year Internal Energy is already this strong, and that Bai Ye only has a mere seven hundred years' worth. When the price of Internal Energy drops in the future, with my little stash, surpassing him will be a piece of cake,' Ellis thought to himself.
In truth, Ellis wasn't the only one with this thought.
As the creator of Internal Energy, Bai Ye's fame had exploded overnight, reaching a level comparable to Newton in this new era. Naturally, there were plenty of people eager to use his reputation to climb to the top.
Many were already preparing to challenge Bai Ye in the future after obtaining Internal Energy. They believed that Bai Ye's strength was due to his mastery of Internal Energy. If everyone possessed Internal Energy, why couldn't they take his place?
If they could rightfully defeat the creator of Internal Energy using Internal Energy, it would be a surefire way to gain both fame and fortune.
Soon, within minutes, a piece of news went viral online: "The Righteous American President Uses Internal Energy to Defeat a Mutant Demon! Video Proof!"
As the most discussed topic globally, this headline instantly captured three hot topics:
Internal Energy! Mutants! The American President!
At a time when everyone was discussing Internal Energy, the video released by the White House quickly garnered global attention.
Stryker frowned upon hearing the news from the military base.
Looking at the bound Charles in front of him, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, although the assassination wasn't successful, the topic has successfully shifted to mutants."
"Now, it's just you left," Stryker said. "The Cerebro Amplifier will take a few more days to manufacture. You just stay here and repent."
"Oh, and I should also tell you, during the time you were unconscious, all of your students at the Mutant Academy have been captured by us." Stryker smiled, and watching the enraged Professor X, he left with satisfaction.
But not long after, Stryker was dumbfounded.
Because the direction of public opinion was completely different from what he had envisioned. Why was everyone discussing Internal Energy, and the mutant assassination of the president was being pushed aside? This public opinion was completely wrong!
His desired headline was stolen?
Inside the factory, Bai Ye, who was in the middle of training, was drawn to a piece of information on the television.
'The President was assassinated?' Bai Ye looked at the news being broadcast by the host on the opposite television with confusion. Wasn't the progress a bit too fast?
The plot of X-Men 1 hadn't even finished yet, and the United Nations summit was still a few days away. Yet, it had already been disrupted at the beginning of the second movie?
Is it because of me that the plot has been changed? Bai Ye pondered, and information about the X series began to flash in his mind.
'According to the plot, this is Stryker's plan. Next, Professor X will be captured, and the Mutant Academy will be attacked.'
'But Magneto is now lying low because of what I said. There's no reason for Professor X to be captured either. Theoretically, Stryker shouldn't make a move so early. There's definitely something I don't know.'
'Think about what major events have happened in the past few days. The UN summit? Or the Fantastic Four going into space soon? No, it should be the book signing I held.'
'But I specifically instructed Kingpin not to invite Stryker to the signing? Could it be the live broadcast! The live broadcast exposed Professor X's whereabouts.'
Bai Ye thought here, and with a burst of strength, he broke free from the exercise equipment. With a light leap, combined with his spatial ability, he passed through the tempered glass and arrived in the command room.
"Boss, what's up?" Smith, who was beside him, saw Bai Ye come out and immediately ordered the operators to shut down the equipment.
"I need to investigate something," Bai Ye said, and, stark naked, he took the clothes Rogue handed him. He pulled out a phone from them and dialed a number he remembered.
After a busy signal, a charming voice came from the other end: "Bai, why are you calling? Are you inviting me over to your place for the night?"
On the Mutant Island, Mystique lay on the sofa, speaking softly, a complete change from her initial attitude towards Bai Ye.
Listening to the seductive tone on the other end of the phone, Bai Ye's lips curled slightly. He was sure that if he agreed, he'd be in bed with her that very night.
However, Mystique was too experienced. He didn't know how many people she'd been with over the years, and Bai Ye wasn't at all interested in this red ocean that had been collectively developed by so many.
"Raven, did you see the news about the president being assassinated by a mutant? The assassin is your son. Help me contact Professor X. I suspect something might have happened at the Mutant Academy," Bai Ye got straight to the point.
"What did you say? My son?" Raven's expression shifted slightly. "Wait a moment, I'll contact Charles."
