Chapter 133 Back on Track, the Plan Begins

The mutant-targeting bill proposed by the president was ultimately rejected, and by himself. This is not surprising. The current president has always been regarded by the public and the media as a brainless guy. A large part of his popular support comes from his star dog. If the United States allows animals to run in elections, his dog should be sitting on him now. on the location.

Of course, only a small number of people know that the president's change of order is entirely due to the threat of mutants. Charles has returned, and the mutants have regained their deterrent power. Those claws that had just been stretched out quietly retracted again. All plans were shelved, and they could only watch the mutant academy rebuild steadily.

In the middle, Zhou Yi naturally contributed a lot. He provided funds, manpower, and even won some shares of Charles College. This is the feedback from Charles and the others, and Zhou Yi naturally accepts it with peace of mind, because it is also a help to his future plans.

However, Zhou Yi did not set foot in the mutant academy again. For him, some people are not suitable to meet again at this time, such as Charles, such as Ororo. The conflict between them is getting deeper and deeper, and the rift between their feelings is getting bigger and bigger. It's hard to believe that they were recognized as boyfriend and girlfriend before.

There are reasons for Qin, as well as their own reasons. Their beliefs and personal characters make their conflict almost inevitable. Before that, they may be able to rely on the tolerance of one party to maintain it, but when they both stand firm, their feelings are almost gone. It's over.

He arranged for the children who were temporarily boarding at his own house in the college to return to the new college, and also adopted a girl in a special capacity.

Aretha Odis, or you can call her Aretha Zhou now, this thirteen-year-old girl has now become his adopted daughter. Although it may be a little inappropriate, it has become a fact in the face of his insistence. .

After all, even the Mutant Academy must be bound by the law, and the law doesn't have to think about it and knows that it will stand on Zhou Yi's side. They have no reason to fall out with Zhou Yi because of this, so they can only acquiesce.

The reason for doing this is on the one hand because of Aretha's ability, the soul that descends is uncertain. If something like the King of Fear occurs, it will undoubtedly be a disaster. The mutant academy can't bear this kind of loss, nor can he. Accept that such a dangerous person is placed so close to one's own loved ones.

And if he kills this girl for this reason, Zhou Yi asks himself that he can't do it. Then, putting it on your side has become the most appropriate approach. At the same time, he had other ideas about the girl's abilities.

However, not everyone agrees with him on this matter, and Ororo is the one who disagrees the least. She did everything she could to stop this, and even sent Aretha to Zhou Yi to talk to him in person. She didn't think Zhou Yi would be a good father, because his identity was there, and he wouldn't necessarily give Aretha a good childhood. She always insisted that only the academy was Aretha's home.

And Zhou Yi was very decisive in this matter, he let Serana receive her, and he went into hiding. The feeling of betrayal still affected him, and he wanted to put an end to their relationship in this way. Since you can't go back to the past, it's better to just let go. It was his idea, and he did the same.

Ororo can only leave, and this departure is in a sense forever.

In the next period of time, Zhou Yi's life returned to normal. Apart from his day job and learning how to be a father, he rarely stays at home and spends a lot of time with Serana and Jyn. Of course, as Christmas approached, he took his adopted daughter to Paris, where he spent a special Christmas with his mother and sister.

Zhou Lan and Xia Ruisi easily accepted the new members of the family. They are not harsh people, and they also feel pity from the bottom of their hearts for Aretha, who has a poor background and is alone. Although it is inevitable to laugh at Zhou Yi, after all, he is not yet thirty years old, and having a teenage daughter is really a ridiculous thing.

The new family member became the most beloved princess, something Zhou Yi didn't expect at first. But it is undoubtedly a good thing. Aretha is living a good life, which is something he likes to see. Although he had to admit that he had the idea of ​​using her in his mind at first.

Festivals always pass quickly, Zhou Lan still has to be busy with her career, and Xia Ruisi also needs to continue her studies. In Zhou Yi's plan, if all goes well, she could even walk into an Ivy League school. Therefore, both he and Zhou Lan are very demanding of her in this regard. This is the expectation from parents, and it is the same in China and abroad.

As for Zhou Yi, he returned to New York. He is a superhero and a super-rich man with extraordinary influence and fame. Neither of these identities is easy. Especially when he has more and more people to take care of.

New York, Hilton Hotel. At a charity auction party with the theme of providing a better life for the families of the sacrificed firefighters and police officers, Zhou Yi appeared here with his adopted daughter. His personal accountant told him this was the best way to avoid tax, and he also had some things he wanted to talk to the organizers about. So, he came here.

The arrival of Zhou Yi naturally surprised many people. After all, their circle is not large, and there are not many people like Zhou Yi standing at the top. And any of them is enough to attract a lot of people's attention.

They began to find ways to cling to this financial pride, many of whom are not lacking in good looks, and even have influence in the world. However, Zhou Yi had no intention to focus on these people. His purpose is clear.

George Stacy, his old friend, the Chief of the New York Police Department. He was in charge of this reception, and he was the real target of Zhou Yi's arrival.

Seeing Zhou Yi's arrival, the director looked very surprised. Accompanied by his female companion, he walked quickly in front of Zhou Yi with a wine glass, with an honored smile on his face.

"Welcome, Mr. Zhou. I didn't expect that you would actually come here. If I had known in advance, I should have done more preparations."

"You don't have to be so polite, Director Stacy, it's not the first time we've met. Too much preparation will scare me away." With a little joke, Zhou Yi looked at his female companion. "If I remember correctly, it should be Ling Ai. I have to say that your daughter is very beautiful. I think it must have inherited the advantages of you and your wife."

"Mr. Zhou, you are too rewarding." Director Stacey smiled very happily. For him, his daughter is his greatest pride. He even couldn't wait to show how good his daughter really was. "Gwen is my biggest pride. Although she is only in high school, her grades are much better than when I was in the past. Maybe you don't know, she has now been admitted to the scientific research department of Osborn Company, with own project."

"Oh, Dad. I'm just an assistant, not as good as you say!" Gwen Stacy next to him rolled his eyes at his father's boast. She felt that her father was a little too boastful.

But Zhou Yi didn't think so. He is also a shareholder of Osborn, and naturally he knows how strict Osborn's talent selection is. It can be said that most doctors in the world are not qualified to set foot on this threshold. That's one of Osborn's most central departments, and it's also the most cutting-edge department. Anyone who can get there can be said to be a genius.

So he naturally exclaimed.

"It's a pity I haven't been to Osborn's recently, or I'd have remembered such a beautiful and smart lady. Oh, forgot to introduce, this is my daughter Aretha. She's her first This is the first time to attend such a banquet, so I may seem a little shy. Aretha, say hello to Mr. Stacy."

Aretha, who was dressed like a princess, hid behind Zhou Yi, pulled his hand tightly and stuck out a small head, and said softly.

"Good evening, Mr. Stacy."

"Hello, little angel!" Although Stacey was a little surprised at the age of the father and daughter, she squatted down and touched her little head.

The little guy felt Stacy's kindness, but he didn't do anything to dodge. After living with Zhou Yi for a period of time, she has been able to integrate into the life of a normal person. This is a good thing for her, it means that she has come out of the shadow of the past.

Feeling Aretha's mood, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Stacey, I think we can chat in private. If you don't mind, can Ling Ai take Aretha to have a look around?"

"Of course!" Stacy nodded. It was his dream to work with a rich man like Zhou Yi. Because he understood what these rich people represented, and that was something that would make his career go further, he agreed without any hesitation. "Gwen, take Miss Zhou for a walk. Mr. Zhou and I need to talk about something separately."

"Okay, Dad." Looking at Zhou Yi who was smiling, Gwen could not help but murmur something dirty in his heart, but he still agreed. She took Aretha's little hand and walked towards the dining table. With children, food is more useful than chat.

Watching the two go further and further apart, Zhou Yi took the lead in opening the topic.

"Mr. Stacey, the world is very insecure right now, isn't it? I remember what was on the invitation. This charity auction was prepared for the families of 164 martyrs in New York."

"You're right, Mr. Zhou." Although Zhou Yi didn't know what Zhou Yi was saying, Stacey continued on the topic. "New York is the best city, but it's also the worst. It has one of the highest crime rates in the country. We've done our best, but we can't avoid some sacrifices."

As the financial center of the world, New York has also become the place with the most bank robberies in the world. Crime happens almost every day, and as long as there is crime, there are sacrifices. Even superheroes can't stop this.

"These people are heroes, Mr. Stacy. Their actions are admirable, but I have to say, their sacrifices were not worth it!"
