Professor, it's not your fault. You did not do it on purpose.
As you once explained to us, it also applies to yourself."
Wolverine sighed and began to console.
In those days, the fear of humans towards mutants was partly due to the fact that some mutants used their abilities for criminal activities.
The majority, however, were due to the fear that mutants caused in their loved ones and those around them when they first began to exhibit their abilities, as they were unable to control them due to internal fear.
Every time these mutant children were taken to school, Professor would provide them with psychological counseling, allowing them to have the courage to start a new life.
In fact, the professor, like those children, suffered from epilepsy that caused his brain to lose control, leading to the tragic incident. He felt more pain than anyone else.
"I am not a child. If I make a mistake, I have to bear it."
"I cannot compensate for the dead, I can only try to make the living better."
Professor looked at the group of children in front of him and his face broke into a smile again.
If he had not seen these children, he might have never been able to face his painful memories and lived in a state of confusion until death.
"But Professor, so many years have passed since then, the school may have been taken over by the government."
At this moment, George spoke up.
The location of Professor Charles Xavier Academy for Genius Youth is indeed good. It is located on the outskirts of the Bronx area, not too far away, but also some distance from the Manhattan area with frequent incidents.
Even if the Cytan invasion occurred, it wouldn't spread to that area.
The most important thing is that according to his knowledge, the Bronx is the most chaotic area in New York, located at the northernmost part of the city. It is mainly inhabited by African and Latin American descendants.
If you say that Times Square is the most chaotic place in the rich district of Manhattan, then the Bronx is the most chaotic place in New York City.
Various gangs are entrenched, and its crime rate is among the highest in the entire United States.
Such a place is just perfect for him to make money by cleaning up the mess, and even if he kills someone, it won't draw the attention of the government.
But, after all these years, such a big castle, how can it still be empty.
Professor X wiped away his tears and explained:
"Although I am wanted by the government, it is not an open arrest. The government does not want to make a big fuss and does not have enough evidence to arrest me."
Therefore, my identity is still on the surface, and most of my property is still there, including the castle.
But I cannot appear in public or use any of my assets, otherwise the government can follow those clues and find and arrest me..."
"I see."
George is not familiar with this, but after Professor X's explanation, he can understand it roughly.
Professor X's secret identity is the principal of a school for mutants, but in public, he is the famous heir to the Xavier family, a genuine capitalist.
If you compare it, the Stark Enterprises group has even more influence in some aspects.
The rise of Stark Enterprises was mainly due to Tony's father Howard, who was actually not a very large group before.
However, the Xavier family is an ancient noble family with a long history, deep roots, and enduring heritage.
There is no concrete evidence to arrest the heirs of the Xavier family in public, seize their assets, and confiscate all the property of the Xavier family. This would cause all the old capitalists to feel uneasy.
Because today you can seize the Xavier family without evidence, tomorrow you can find a reason to do the same, and then everyone will be in danger.
Can the government produce concrete evidence of Professor X's murder?
Of course not. Professor X had epilepsy, and his brain was out of control. He killed the people around him directly with his mental power, even on the monitors, it's like everyone suddenly had a stroke and died, it's impossible to prove that it was Professor X who did it.
On the other hand, we must also consider the negative impact. If it is confirmed that the professor, who has helped the government deal with multiple crises and been awarded by the president several times, suddenly killed so many people.
The government would also bear responsibility, with its influence slipping, and even the president would be greatly affected.
So at that time, only clandestine arrests and detention were possible, not public ones. Even the entire event was deliberately downplayed.
"If this is the case, it's indeed a good choice."
George pondered for a moment and agreed with Professor X's proposal.
The Wichester incident occurred twenty-five years ago, in 1984, when Tony Stark was only fifteen years old and had just entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Electrical Engineering.
Captain Marvel Carol Danvers was not even a pilot yet, Nick Fury was just an ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and Peter Quill, Star-Lord, was only six years old with his mother still alive.
So maybe there is really no one watching the empty school for mutants.
Probably, the police sent by the government to search for him at that time couldn't even find the basement under the school.
"I have no objections, as long as the children are safe."
Gaverela also raised his hand in agreement, thinking that since Professor X and George thought it was feasible, there should be no problem.
She was just a naive Mexican nurse, her job was to take care of the children, not to make senseless comments. She was well aware of her position.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Wolverine no longer opposed.
In fact, he would love to go back to the school, as it was his spiritual home.
As for Kaleb, he will go where Professor X and Wolverine are, regardless of the specific location.
So, the truck turned and headed towards New York.
Due to the large number of children and their lack of identities, they did not go into the city along the way. Instead, they purchased supplies in some small towns along the way and rested in remote places when they were tired.
After two days, they finally arrived in the northern part of New York's Bronx district.
Perhaps because he had faced himself, Professor X's condition had slightly improved. Although he couldn't use his abilities as before, occasionally affecting the thoughts of ordinary people was not a problem.
This also made their journey much smoother along the way.
During this period, in order to avoid being tracked, they also changed trucks several times.
They sold the truck to a second-hand market, then went to another second-hand market to spend a little more money and buy a different model of second-hand truck, continuously switching.
After arriving in the Bronx district, they did not immediately go to the school where Professor X had renovated his four-family garden castle, but instead sent George and Wolverine in disguise to check it out.
The situation was indeed as Professor X had predicted; it was empty and unoccupied, but the castle, left unused for a long time, seemed dilapidated and rundown.
After ensuring the safety of the school, they quietly entered the school at night with the children and moved into the underground basement of the castle.
The basement of the castle has two floors, with Professor X's brainwave amplification room and the former X-Men training room, as well as ten or so spare rooms. Everyone could live there comfortably.
