"Surprisingly, there are still planes?"
George stared at the X fighter before him, completely stunned.
He hadn't expected that the X-wing fighter was still preserved in the school's basement, thinking it had long been taken away by Wolverine and Professor X in their escape.
Wolverine took off his suit and shirt, replaced it with his favorite jacket, and puffed on a cigar as he explained to George:
"Pity I can't fly a plane, otherwise I wouldn't have been so awkward when taking Professor to escape initially."
Initially, when the professor's mind went haywire, he killed all the mutants at the school. To save the professor, he drove him straight to the hospital. Although the professor's condition later improved, they also began to be pursued by a large number of agents sent by the FBI.
If he had known how to fly back then, he could have directly flown with the professor out of the United States to other countries for treatment, avoiding government pursuit.
"It's better to have it, after all, it will be useful in the future."
At this moment, George remembered that not only did Wolverine not know how to fly a plane, he seemed to have a fear of heights and motion sickness as well.
In the movie, it's usually a few mutants like Wolves, Mystique, Storm, Cyclops, and Phoenix who take turns piloting the X-wing fighter.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Although this X-wing fighter is from more than two decades ago, because it was modified by the high-intelligence scientist Wolf, it is almost as advanced as the most advanced K-Unit fighter from S.H.I.E.L.D. now.
Not only does it have fast speed, but it can also achieve stealth screening against satellite detection.
In the future, as long as someone among them learns to drive a plane, they can rely on this X-wing fighter to take everyone away from danger in time.
For example, during the Chitauri invasion of New York, it was not effectively stopped.
"By the way, if you go to investigate intelligence in the city, you can ride this motorcycle. It's Scott's favorite, and it has been specially modified. Its speed is three times faster than the fastest motorcycle in the world."
After visiting the X-wing fighter, Wolverine took George to the basement, where they found a motorcycle that looked quite ordinary.
Wolverine, Professor X, and Caliban are too noticeable to frequently appear in the city; otherwise, they would certainly be discovered by the government. They can only intervene and help at critical moments.
Therefore, the task of investigating Tony Stark's related information in the Manhattan district of Stark Industries will have to be completed by George himself.
"It seems that Scott has very good taste."
George took a test ride on the motorcycle, his face showing a satisfied expression.
Since everything went smoothly and the mutant academy was better than he expected, George had no intention of contacting Tony Stark so soon and expose himself to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra forces.
So naturally, he didn't have to go to Manhattan to gather intelligence or kidnap Obadiah to interrogate Tony Stark about his location in the Middle East.
However, he still needed to use this motorcycle to go into the city of the Bronx to gather information about local gangs and unsavory merchants.
Because he planned to pull off a big operation in the city of the Bronx before Tony Stark managed to escape.
At the moment, his own plan is to spend the first three months focusing on learning magic.
After three months, he intends to clean out all the wealthy and influential gangs in the entire Bronx, make a substantial amount of money, and then buy up shares of Stark Industries during their lowest ebb.
Then, after Tony Stark returns and the stock of Stark Industries rises, he will sell all his shares.
When Tony Stark announces that he will shut down the weapon department of Stark Industries and stop selling weapons, he will make another huge investment, allowing him to instantly amass a large fortune, enabling him and the children at the school to not worry about money.
Of course, such a thing can only be done once. If he were to constantly clean out gangs, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of Joon Choi, the ruler of the underworld, and other factions.
As the saying goes, "A man who walks on the riverbank will inevitably get his shoes wet." Doing it too often might expose both him and the mutant school.
But doing just one job, running away after completion and never showing up again, in the Bronx where surveillance cameras are scarce, even Sherlock Holmes couldn't find him.
So this job must be done on a grand scale, and thorough reconnaissance and intelligence gathering must be done in advance.
"He has very good taste, especially when it comes to women. I used to hate that guy, but now I can't help but miss him."
Wolverine looked at the motorcycle, unable to help but fall into a state of memory.
George understood at once upon hearing the words. He knew both Cyclops and Wolverine liked Jean Grey, but she had eventually chosen Cyclops.
"By the way, we will definitely use these facilities here in the basement, and that will definitely involve electricity. Will the government be aware of that?"
"How about buying some generators back? Although the power isn't enough, it's safer."
It's been twenty-five years, and the government must have long forgotten about this castle, let alone specifically monitoring its electricity usage. However, he thought it best to err on the side of caution.
It's rare to find such a good place to hide, and if it's exposed, we'll have to start all over again.
After he learns the Muggle Shield Spell, he won't have to be so careful anymore. Even if he decides to restart the school, he doesn't have to worry about being discovered by the government.
"Don't worry about that. The electricity for the two-level basement has been specially modified due to a previous special incident."
"Wolverine added a special power supply system and made a lot of defensive upgrades. Even if everything is turned on, it won't leave any trace of electricity usage."
George's warning was dismissed by Wolverine, who waved it away.
"Then that's good."
The special incident could be either the invasion of Apocalypse or the attack by William Stryker's forces.
George did not delve into the details, as it did not matter to him whether it was Apocalypse's invasion or William Stryker's attack. The important thing was that he knew this place was safe, allowing him to focus on his magical research.
"I'll take some time off to gather intelligence during this period. If possible, I think you and Professor X can help guide these kids in learning how to better use their abilities in combat."
Finally, George also made a suggestion to Wolverine.
Since the basement's combat simulation room can be used normally, it can be used to train the children to use their abilities in combat.
Different from the amateurish and rough training at the experimental base, with Professor X and Wolverine's true expertise, they can better tap into the children's potential.
He doesn't expect these children to be able to do much in combat in a short period of time, but at the very least, they should be able to protect themselves and not become a burden.
Aclain Corp. will never let them go this easily. Finding them according to the traces is only a matter of time.
By then, it might not just be copies of Wolverine; there could also be copies of Professor X, Magneto, and Cyclops and others.
Of course, George believes that the strength of the clones will be much weaker than the originals.
Because many mutants' abilities need to be developed and understood through subsequent practice in order to exert greater strength, aside from some special types.
Just like Magneto, he was not that strong at first appearance. It was X-Men's Professor Charles Xavier who developed and guided him to the later strength.
The clones made by Sam Landy have IQs almost the same as toddlers, and their actions are mostly controlled remotely. How can their abilities be developed?
In the movies, William Stryker, Major William Strucker, integrated so many mutant abilities into his clone Wade, but in the end, he still had his head cut off by Wolverine and Sabertooth.
In fact, unless their minds are released from control, clones cannot grow to surpass their originals and can only become mere cannon fodder.
Having too many cannon fodder is also a headache.
