"Go!"
Returning to that park, the two black thugs had disappeared. They probably went to the hospital after waking up, or perhaps the Police dragged them away.
Hawking pulled out the tree trunk stuck in the ground, threw it again, and then stepped on the trunk to return to the Mutant School.
"Good morning, Professor, you're up so early!"
As soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw Professor X, who seemed to be waiting for him in a wheelchair.
Clearly, Professor X was very concerned about his situation last night.
"I had people procure a lot of ingredients overnight. You must be hungry after not eating all night."
Professor X smiled and pointed to the table beside them, which was laden with all sorts of high-calorie delicacies like steaks, hot dogs, sandwiches, hamburgers, and pizzas.
"Haha, then I won't be polite!"
Hawking's eyes lit up at the sight, and he immediately sat down and began to devour the food.
Jumping around on the city rooftops all night was a form of cultivation, consuming a considerable amount of physical energy.
When he had eaten his fill, Professor X began to inquire about Hawking's situation last night. He didn't hide anything, and after some embellishment, he generally recounted everything.
After listening to Hawking's narration, Professor X's face also showed a satisfied smile.
He felt that Hawking had done much better than he had expected. Not only did he use his abilities to help those humans, but he also deliberately created a well-developed character.
This would definitely have a significant positive effect on the later change in human attitudes towards Mutants.
He could already imagine that if this "God of War" created by Hawking truly became highly revered by the human public in the future, once Hawking admitted he was a Mutant, it would undoubtedly greatly improve the public's perception of Mutants.
"Very good, Hawking, you did very well.
Yesterday, as you wished, I had someone acquire the Daily Bugle. Later, if you have ideas on how to manage it, you can directly speak to the person in charge there, J. Jonah Jameson."
"What, so fast?"
This time, it was Hawking's turn to be shocked. He had only suggested it to Professor X the night before last, and Professor X had already acquired the Daily Bugle yesterday.
It could only be said that Professor X's family power was much stronger than he had imagined.
"The night before last, you enlightened me. You were right; I really should have paid attention to the power of the media earlier."
Professor X smiled.
Even if Hawking's Superheroes plan failed, having a media outlet that could report positive news about Mutants would still change some human perceptions.
So yesterday, he used many connections and spent a large sum of money to forcibly buy the Daily Bugle from J. Jonah Jameson, making J. Jonah Jameson his employee.
"After I rest well this afternoon, I'll go talk to him."
Hawking was naturally very happy that Professor X directly handed over control of the Daily Bugle to him.
Because that also meant that in Professor X's eyes, he was already someone capable of taking on important responsibilities independently, and not just a child.
It seemed that the high-IQ persona he had cultivated over the past few years was beginning to pay off.
Opening an international Superheroes company like the one in The Boys is not an easy task. Even if you get a lot of money, if you don't have the corresponding connections to enter the capital circle, it still won't work.
Strong power is useless in this regard, unless you are powerful enough to fight the entire World alone and enslave all of humanity. Otherwise, you still have to abide by some rules.
If the methods are too extreme, then in the end, it will only become like Magneto, an existence hated by everyone, and will be ganged up on by various Superheroes as a villain.
The Water of Earth is very deep, especially since Universe 838 is very different from the main Universe, and it is unknown how many powerful existences are hidden within it.
Moreover, he was not alone; there were also Wanda, Pietro, Oleg, and Elena, who were like family.
Therefore, Professor X's recognition and trust were very important to him.
Because Professor X, in addition to being a Mutant, was also an heir to a large capitalist family, and could himself be classified as a capitalist.
With Professor X helping from behind, many things became simpler.
"Professor, get me a camera. I have a use for it."
After breakfast, he told Professor X and then left the cafeteria to return to his room.
At two in the afternoon, Hawking, having just woken up, immediately turned on his computer.
Although in this era, most ordinary people still primarily got their news from newspapers and televisions.
However, in reality, most news could already be viewed through the internet.
Sure enough, he quickly found a lot of news related to him online, and also saw videos taken by passersby and various comments.
Some people said the video must be fake, some said the golden armor was too cool, and the name Golden God of War was also very cool, and some even said that gods already existed in this World.
Even extremists said that this was humanity about to face the apocalypse, so gods had descended to Earth.
In any case, there was a jumbled mess of comments, but the buzz had started, and because it was about preventing crime, the evaluations were mostly positive.
After washing up, he first went to the combat simulation room to pose for some photos with the camera, and then went to borrow Cyclops's modified Harley motorcycle.
Daytime was not suitable for flying on trees in the city.
"Awesome!"
Pressing the specially modified button on the handlebar, the motorcycle's speed instantly broke its limit and doubled, making Hawking unable to help but exclaim in admiration.
If he had a motorcycle like this in his previous life, wouldn't it have been incredibly cool?
Speeding along, this time he didn't stop in Bronx, but went directly to the Daily Bugle's news building in Manhattan.
"That armored man? You want him on the front page of our newspaper tomorrow? A Joker who hides his face, how can such a person be on our front page? That news has already been placed on the fifth page today."
Jonah Jameson looked at Hawking sitting opposite him, laughed, and waved his hand, clearly disapproving of his absurd suggestion.
But Hawking slapped his hand directly on the table:
"Not the armored man, but the God of War. And Mr. Jameson, please understand the situation. This is not a suggestion, but an order.
Mr. Charles should have told you that my command is his command. You just need to execute it."
"But... but, this definitely won't sell. The front page should be about Tony Stark and the new Shadow Queen's private meeting at the hotel last night. Everyone loves to read about that."
Jonah Jameson replied with a somewhat displeased expression.
He now regretted selling the Daily Bugle, which he had worked so hard to build. Charles actually sent such an ignorant fellow to dictate things.
But there was no choice. The industry was fiercely competitive now. He looked glamorous on the surface, but in reality, he was burdened with huge debts. One wrong move could lead to bankruptcy, and what Charles offered was... too much.
