Gulp. Charles admitted he was a bit astonished, and even his movement to turn and look at Michael was somewhat stiff.
"You—"
"You are... the true Master of the Base?"
Swallowing with difficulty, Charles asked in a hoarse voice.
"Alright!"
"I was indeed wrong before, I apologize!"
Charles realized that what he said was nonsense. The Master of the Base clearly couldn't be the robot standing silently beside them.
"But we really mean no harm!"
"We just... came to see this Base that suddenly appeared."
"Our Mutant School is just ten kilometers away. We really just came to see our future neighbors this time!"
"We truly came with peaceful intentions! We absolutely have no intention of making enemies with our neighbors!"
Ignoring the heavily injured Hank, Charles desperately explained to Michael with great earnestness.
Even seeing that the true Master of the Base had finally appeared, and was a human, Charles had no thought of using his psychic powers.
Not to mention that the way Michael appeared itself indicated extraordinary abilities, just the robot beside him completely nullified his psychic abilities.
Charles could even imagine what kind of blow he would suffer if he dared to use his abilities on Michael... "Heh heh."
"Of course I know you mean no harm."
"Otherwise, do you think you would be able to appear safely before me?"
Seeing Charles's panic, Michael smiled playfully and said slowly.
Phew. Hearing Michael's words, Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Charles was genuinely worried that he was about to leave this beautiful world.
"However!"
"Hmm?" Charles's heart sank. "No way, there's still a 'however'?"
"Who visits someone else's home—"
"—using superpowers?"
"Hmm?"
Michael's eyes widened, and Charles immediately felt a colossal pressure, like a mountain, pressing down on him, making him unable to breathe.
Pfft. Hank, who was already heavily injured beside them, once again spat out a mouthful of blood due to this pressure.
Fortunately, Michael didn't apply too much pressure, merely releasing it as quickly as he applied it. Otherwise, Charles and Hank might both have been directly crushed to death by Michael's pressure! However, seeing the bloodstains in front of Hank, Michael still frowned a little. His perfectly good office had been ruined by him.
With a thought from Michael, the bloodstains in front of Hank instantly vanished, and even the entire office became brand new again.
Charles didn't see this scene, but Hank, who did, was utterly terrified.
What kind of terrifying power is this!... "Reporting at the guard post, would that really get you arrested?"
"You don't use the perfectly good main gate."
"I don't know where you learned such behavior."
"You're making things difficult for yourselves!"
Michael's words clearly had a hidden meaning, but Charles and Hank didn't think that much at the moment. Both of them were still trembling in awe of Michael's power. "Forget it."
"White."
"Bring those... confused fellows in too!"
Shaking his head, Michael didn't explain anything, but ordered White, who was standing silently beside him.
Michael naturally easily'saw' Charles's previous contingency plan: the reserve police from the Mutant School were coming to 'rescue' Charles.
"Yes!"
"Master!"
The White robot nodded, accepted the order, and turned to leave the office... "Um..."
"Could it be..."
Charles thought of his previous contingency and wanted to ask Michael to give them a break, but suddenly didn't know how to phrase it.
If the 'fellows' Michael mentioned were his contingency, then they really were confused about the situation.
After all, what he sent back was just a message: 'I and Hank have been captured, find a way to rescue us.'
And with the current strength of the Mutant School, those fellows would clearly charge in recklessly.
Against the power of the Base, it would simply be... throwing good money after bad...
"No!"
Michael's expression turned cold, and Charles's heart... tightened.
But fortunately, Michael did not release his pressure; his face merely looked a bit cold.
"Everyone is an independent individual."
"When you do things, you must be responsible for your actions!"
To be honest, at this moment, Michael couldn't even be bothered with the few X-Men.
If it were before the 'Days of Future Past' timeline, the X-Men's strength at this moment would not be weak; at least Phoenix Jean Grey was… a major force.
But now, it's the timeline after 'Days of Future Past', and Jean Grey is still just a good girl who isn't even familiar with her own Level 3 Mutant ability. The strongest visible force is Impact Alex.
