????A round of applause for the new patron:

"Dependents...? More dignity?"
Jean was surprised by what Arthur just said.
Under Arthur's explanation, Jean also understood what he ant and imdiately replied: "Mr. Morgan, please don't say that about Professor Xavier."
"He is a great man who dedicates his life to the future of Mutants."
"And I don't deny that."
Arthur raised his glass and took a sip.
To so extent, Professor X is indeed a respectable person, but the way he does things is not flattering.
"I also think he is worthy of respect, but that doesn't stop from thinking that he is very dependent and has little dignity."
Arthur said so.
"You..."
Jean stood up a little irritated. Professor X is the person she respects the most. If soone else had said that about Professor X on other occasions, they would have already done sothing.
But this ti, for so unknown reason, Jean did nothing.
Maybe it was the special feeling Arthur gave him, or sothing else.
In short, there seed to be a voice deep in her heart telling Jean not to do anything.
When Jean stood up with anger on her face and imdiately attracted most people's attention.
Everyone unconsciously took half a step back.
Everyone was afraid she would get angry.
"Look, Mr. Morgan seems to have pissed off that Mutant."
"Should we call the police?"
"But she's a mutant, is there any use for the police to co?"
Soone had already picked up the phone, ready to call the police.
Hearing the whispers of the people around, Jean gradually felt a bit of anger rising in her heart.
She can't even be angry anymore just because she's a Mutant?
At that mont, Jean felt soone grab her hand, the warmth of the hand that was touching her sohow cald her.
The anger she felt also gradually subsided.
Jean looked at the owner of the hand: "Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry for my outburst just now."
"It's okay, sit down first."
"Calm down, most people here have so kind of Mutantptsd, they are afraid that you will get angry and do sothing."
In the crowd, Pepper also felt that the party atmosphere was getting a little off.
She imdiately walked onto the stage, and tapped the microphone to get everyone's attention, "Ladies and gentlen, please give your attention."
"Today we have the honor of inviting..."
With the change of the, many people turned their attention to the stage again.
"Co on, let's drink sowhere else."
"There's a comrcial atmosphere here, which I don't like."
Jean also didn't like being around these hypocrites, so she took the cup and followed Arthur.
She also didn't know why she followed Arthur.
Just now she was angry with him.
Soon, Arthur took her to a small balcony and closed the door.
This cut out most of the sound from the party.
"Mr. Morgan, why do you think Professor Xavier is..."
"Dependent?"
After speaking, Jean looked at Arthur.
Arthur smiled and said, "He isn't?"
"He was right to try to give mutants a place in society, to fight for equality, but the way he's doing it is wrong."
"Look at those people inside."
Through the glass, Jean looked at the luxurious hall inside.
After the two left, the atmosphere inside beca extrely happy.
No, to be more precise it was after she left.
"Professor X's biggest mistake is trying to please these people."
"He tried desperately to please the people inside, but does Professor X think the people inside cared?"
"The more you humble yourself and seek their acceptance, the more they will walk all over you, and the more you lower yourself, the more superior they will feel."
"In my opinion, it is a futile effort to try to convince these people in this way."
This situation has nothing to do with the difference between humans and mutants, it's just pure human nature.
After hearing these words, Jean was surprised.
Arthur's words were extrely shocking to her.
In the past, all she heard were Professor X's ideals, and the X-n always did things according to his ideals.
Show people that mutants are not dangerous.
But Jean hasn't realized until now that Professor X's approach is not only futile but is also making the mutants' situation increasingly worse.
It was exactly as Arthur said.
"Mr. Morgan, so what should we..."
Jean wanted to ask Arthur what they should do.
But Arthur stretched vigorously and said: "Ahh... I think I've had too much to drink, I'm already talking nonsense.
"Miss Grey, you can just treat this as small talk tonight, don't worry about it too much."
"I believe Professor X has his thoughts on this matter, perhaps he has his plan."
After speaking, Arthur opened the balcony door and ca back.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Morgan."
"You did not answer ..."
Just when Jean wanted to run and continue asking Arthur, a voice ca from the back of her mind.
This caused her footsteps to stop abruptly.
(Jean, did sothing happen at the party?)
(I feel like your mood has fluctuated, are you okay?)
(I'm fine, teacher)
Jean also used her telepathic powers to answer Professor X's question, and when she looked at the people at the party, Arthur had already disappeared.
(It's okay, you can go back first.)
(Today's goal was just to show our presence. As long as the effect is achieved, everything is fine. At least let them know that we are different from Magneto.)
If it were before, Jean would follow everything Professor X said.
But this ti there was silence.
(Just show our presence?)
These people just wanted to stay away from her, as if they had t the plague god.
It was the opposite effect of what Professor X wanted.
Was it really like Arthur said?
(Jean, what happened?)
Jean didn't respond to Professor X's words, it made him a little nervous.
After all, there is still a powerful force hidden in Jean's body, if it gets loose, it could end up destroying the world.
(I'm fine, professor.)
(I drank a lot of wine just now and I'm a little dizzy.)
When Professor X, who was at the Xavier Institute, heard this sentence, his face suddenly showed an expression of joy.
If anyone was willing to drink with Jean, it seems to have worked out well tonight.
(So how are you feeling now?)
(It's okay, I'm ready to go back.)
(Okay, I'm waiting for good news at the institute)
Jean looked at the people inside and didn't choose to go out the door, but jumped off the balcony.
------------
At the sa ti.
Gwen had her feet up on the ceiling, perplexed by what she was doing.
"Oh my God!"
