Chapter 1076

It was just that because of the fusion with the new body, by the time Professor X woke up again, whether it was the battle between Hawk and the Sentinel robots or the battle between Hawk and Ikaris, it had all completely ended.

Not right.

The battle hadn't actually ended yet.

This was also the reason why Professor X came here.

He was entrusted by someone.

Entrusted by Washington.

Half a month ago, when Hawk left Washington, because the new president's surname was Stacy, he gave them a twenty-four-hour opportunity.

Hand over the corpses of all those who participated in the plan to hunt the Demon King, as well as the corpses of those who knew about it.

Otherwise—

The entire Federation would be buried with them.

The new president, Reed Stacy, also indicated that he would fulfill this promise, but he was, after all, a president who had been forced into the position.

However, this had nothing to do with Reed Stacy.

He wanted to fulfill the promise, but he couldn't stop some people who, even when death was imminent, still harbored luck and shielded those culprits who should have died and who were the reason the Federation suffered such a disaster.

Soon.

Twenty-four hours passed.

There were still a few people missing who hadn't been found, and Hawk hadn't appeared for a long time, which made those politicians who harbored luck even bolder.

They believed that Hawk was already dead.

Genuine and authentic.

Until yesterday.

Because he still insisted on his point of view that the Federation must fulfill its promise, Reed Stacy, who had had a big argument with those people at the meeting, returned to his Oval Office and saw a woman in a crimson dress sitting in the seat that should have been occupied by the president.

The moment Reed Stacy met the woman's eyes, a name appeared in his mind.

"Mrs. Phoenix."

"Where is the thing my husband wants?"

Wanda, sitting in the president's seat, looked at Reed Stacy standing at the door and smiled: "Are you not planning to give it?"

Reed Stacy gave a bitter smile: "I want to fulfill the promise."

Wanda smiled.

"Then where is the thing my husband wants?"

"Some people harbor luck, and they have united; there is nothing I can do."

"And you?"

"What?"

Reed Stacy was slightly stunned.

Wanda rose from the presidential throne and looked at Reed Stacy: "And you, are you harboring luck, Mr. Stacy?"

Reed Stacy met Wanda's gaze without any evasion.

"I never harbor any luck."

"Understood."

Wanda nodded and prepared to leave: "No one can refuse what my husband wants, and no one can stop it. I hope you are prepared to clean up the mess, Mr. Stacy."

Hearing this, Reed Stacy looked at Wanda, who, like Hawk, intended to leave after speaking, and hurriedly called out to her.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"Are you not planning to take my life?"

"Why?"

"Because I didn't fulfill the promise?"

"Hehe."

Hearing Reed Stacy's words, Wanda smiled: "Did my husband tell you the reason why he gave you a chance?"

Reed's heart stirred. He recalled a sentence Hawk had said when he was leaving, and then he seemed to think of something. His pupils contracted as he looked at Wanda in front of him.

Wanda smiled slightly: "The surname Stacy not only has a different meaning to Hawk, but it is also the same for me. After all, I once spent the entire time of meeting, knowing, falling in love, and loving with Hawk under the name Gwen Stacy. So, goodbye, Mr. Stacy!"

After saying that.

Wanda turned around, turned into crimson smoke, and instantly disappeared in front of Reed.

Reed was still standing in place, his expression somewhat dazed, recalling the sentence Wanda had just said.

What did it mean to have lived with Hawk for many years under the name Gwen Stacy?

Wait!

Which Gwen was it?

Reed reacted, turned around, left the office, and returned to the place that had also been urgently repaired to serve as a temporary residence. Then he saw the scene of his ten-year-old daughter already lying on the bed asleep, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, some people had completely run out of breath.

By this morning, when Reed Stacy received the news and walked out of the house, what he saw were the corpses neatly arranged on the lawn at this moment.

Not one more, not one less.

And it was a family reunion style.

"I am not my husband."

"But I will ensure the completion of the promise my husband made."

"If you don't want your world to be completely destroyed."

"So, for the sake of the Stacy surname, I will also give you one last chance, an ultimatum."

"Within twenty-four hours, hand over the corpses of all those who spoke for these people."

"Don't try to deceive a witch with profound magic."

"I know the names of those people, and I know where they are now. Even if they hide to the ends of the earth, I can find them."

"So—"

"If you don't want your world to perish, hand over their corpses. Twenty-four hours later, if I don't see their corpses, then the person talking to you will no longer be Mrs. Phoenix, but the Scarlet Witch Wanda."

Wanda, in a scarlet battle suit, hovering in the sky, looked at Reed Stacy who had walked out, speaking in a cold voice, and then turned and disappeared from the spot again.

This news quickly spread throughout Washington and was also known by those who should know it.

And this!

This was the reason why Professor X appeared at the door of 521A Palm Street.
