Chapter 178 The School Still Needs to Be Run

In the past few days, Paul has been doing very well with Kevin's "help".

With Kevin's financial assistance, Paul, under Kevin's instruction, founded an entertainment company with another fake identity in just a few days.

Although there are only Kevin and Paul in the company now, with such an entertainment company, Kevin and Paul can do a lot of things.

Based on the second identity created by Kevin's nano mask for Paul, Paul successfully contacted the children and sent the children to the uninhabited island prepared in advance through another yacht purchased by Kevin.

The reason why Kevin did this is because he did not trust Canada.

God knows what the situation is in Canada and what the situation is in the shelter. Instead of leaving everything to the unknown, it is better to hand over the children to Logan.

In this way, Kevin can leave with peace of mind.

Charles can also rest assured.

And the other children are easy to say, Logan's daughter Laura, she must not get into trouble.

So Kevin asked Paul to try to contact those children and thought about sending Laura here.

But what they didn't expect was that Laura wasn't the only one who came. When they knew that it was Kevin who asked Paul to go, all the children were ready to go to the 'sanctuary' created by Kevin with Laura.

Perhaps they had watched the TV broadcast, knew what Kevin and Logan had done for them, and knew that Kevin was 'dead', so they chose to believe the people Kevin sent over and accept his arrangements.

"You shouldn't have let Laura come."

But facing Kevin's arrangement, Logan had a different opinion: "She is already safe, there is no need to meet us again."

"This is just your idea. Do you know what Laura thinks?"

"I don't care what she thinks, she is just a child! She shouldn't get involved in our affairs anymore! You should know that the Alkali Group is still looking for us! What if..."

"Logan, Laura is more mature than you think. You don't really think that the little girl who can stretch out her claws to kill people is still just a child now, right?"

Kevin knew that Logan was worried about Laura.

Now Kevin is in the state of "dead" in Alkali, which has been confirmed by TV and the public.

But Logan is not.

Logan, who personally opposed the Alkali Group, and Professor X and Caliban who followed him, are also on Alkali's blacklist.

They will not give up the search for Logan, nor will they give up the search for Professor X.

Even if Kevin had not been able to use high-tech to hack into the system and prepare another identity for them, Logan and his team would not even be able to buy a boat.

The people of the Alkali Group would get the news and come to him as soon as possible.

Fans and TV stations who already know about the struggle between Logan and Alkali will also come to him as soon as possible.

That will be the real sense of no peace.

So Logan knows very well how difficult it is for him and Kevin and others to lie leisurely on the deck of the yacht and bask in the sun.

Even Logan understands that such a leisurely time will not last too long.

It won't be long before they will be visited by various reporters and the Alkali Group.

By then, Laura, who is with them, will be in danger again.

Kevin understood Logan's idea, but he knew better that avoiding him was not a solution.

Now that Logan and Charles were here, should he not teach Laura how to live in this cannibalistic society? Would he wait until they were all old and dead before letting those people with ulterior motives "teach" her?

Logan really wasn't worried that Laura would grow up to be disabled!

"Kevin, listen to me..."

"Logan? Laura is coming over?"

Logan wanted to talk to Kevin, probably because he wanted Kevin to send Laura back.

But Charles, who was dozing off in the sun, woke up at some point and heard the conversation between the two.

When he knew Laura would come, Charles's cloudy eyes showed some clarity.

He looked up and asked happily.

Seeing this, Logan held back what he wanted to say.

Facing Charles' expectant eyes, Logan opened his mouth and couldn't say a word of refusal for a long time. Finally, he could only answer helplessly:

"...Yes, Laura will come soon. I will let her come to you then."

"That's great. By the way, let Caliban make some apple pie, and... and oatmeal. Laura likes to eat that..."

"Damn it, why don't you remember what I like to eat!"

"Don't you like to eat everything?"

"..."

Charles' words made Logan completely silent.

Kevin stood aside and almost laughed out loud.

Charles's love for Laura was too obvious, so obvious that Logan himself was a little jealous.

In the conversation between the two, which was like a father-son quarrel, Logan tacitly accepted the fact that Laura came.

He stopped talking and no longer thought about asking Kevin to send Laura back. After talking to Charles, he continued to lie on the beach chair and look at the sky.

Very quiet, I don't know what he was thinking about.

Kevin didn't disturb him, leaving Logan lying there alone to think, and turned to go to the lower deck of the yacht.

Below the deck are the bedrooms and kitchens for several people, and Caliban is busy on the lower deck at the moment.

Busy doing their laundry.

Because he is afraid of the sun, Caliban usually doesn't go out on the deck during the day, but chooses to stay in the cabin, listening to music and doing housework.

Although sometimes Caliban would complain, 'Why am I still busy here?', his hands are not slow at all when washing clothes, and he seems to be enjoying it.

When Kevin came down, he happened to see him taking fresh ingredients out of the refrigerator. Seeing Kevin coming, Caliban asked without raising his head:

"Did you quarrel with Logan?"

"Not really..."

"When you were talking just now, the door was not closed."

The implication is that Caliban heard everything that Logan and Kevin said clearly.

The yacht is not big, and it's okay if the partition from the deck to the lower deck of the yacht is closed. If it is not closed, any sound above can be heard clearly below.

On the contrary, on the deck, because of the sound of waves and seagulls, the sound below is not so obvious.

Kevin shrugged, found a window seat and lay down, pulled up the sun visor a little, looked out the window, and said to Caliban:

"It's just a small disagreement on whether to let Laura come over, it's nothing."

"More than that, you want Logan to build a mutant school as Charles said, so you let all the children come, right?"

"I didn't think so much, I just thought... I should find something to make Logan want to live. It's a pity for a person like him to die."

Kevin said casually.

This is also one of the reasons why he will stay with Logan.

After finally calming down the grievances that were difficult to calm down because of watching the movie, Kevin didn't want Logan to return to the same ending as in the movie after he left, and die quietly like a weed.

"If Logan wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago, instead of waiting until now."

Caliban took out the basin and washed the vegetables.

"But now it seems that he is the only one who can take on such a responsibility in this world except him?"

"Maybe you can help him?"

"Me? No, I will leave after I finish my own business and will not stay here for too long. The affairs of mutants are ultimately your own business."

"Then you can only hope that Logan will regain his sense of responsibility."

Caliban took out the washed vegetables and said slowly.

Kevin nodded:

"Laura may be able to cheer him up."

"Maybe."

Caliban didn't care about these.

The future of mutants has nothing to do with him. He is now like Charles, an old man who has reached the end of his life and has half a foot in the coffin.

Now Caliban just wants to think about what to eat for three meals a day and what kind of program to listen to before going to bed at night.

That's all.

Kevin didn't expect Caliban to do anything. After he finished speaking, he continued to look out the window quietly.

It was not until Caliban was about to cut the vegetables that he suddenly seemed to remember and said to Caliban:

"By the way, Charles asked you to prepare apple pie and oatmeal to welcome Laura."

Caliban, who had just picked up the kitchen knife: "? You had to wait until now to say it, right?"

"Sorry, I just remembered it too."

Kevin apologized without sincerity.

Caliban put down the kitchen knife helplessly. He looked at the vegetables prepared in front of him and sighed:

"Well, maybe we can add a vegetable salad to dinner..."

These vegetables can't be washed in vain.

...

Laura's arrival made the atmosphere on the ship a lot more lively.

After getting familiar with everyone, Laura was no longer as taciturn as before. Perhaps it was because she watched a lot of videos during this period. When facing Charles, Laura would call him grandfather very sweetly.

Charles would be very happy every time he heard it.

When he saw Laura, although Logan didn't say it, he smiled more and more.

His own complexion was getting better and better.

Kevin knew that his strategy was still working. Logan really had some thoughts of living because of Laura.

No longer eating the genetic food of the Alkali Group, coupled with the change in his desire to die, Logan is getting younger every day.

But in comparison.

Charles is getting older every day.

After moving to the Rising Sun, perhaps because his wish had been fulfilled, Charles' health deteriorated.

He became more confused, sometimes he couldn't even tell who was around him.

He even forgot Laura sometimes.

Stopping the genetic food from the Alkali Group did not make Charles' health better or restore his abilities, but made Charles' condition worse and worse.

Everyone knew that Charles couldn't hold on for too long.

But everyone tacitly didn't talk about it. Every day, they watched the sea, the sunrise and the sunset on the boat, and accompanied Charles silently.

Until this day.

"Logan..."

Under the setting sun, Charles, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the sunset in the distance and the orange-red light reflected on the sea, calling Logan's name.

At that moment, Logan seemed to realize something. He put down his work and came to Charles.

"Charles?"

"Logan... The school still needs to be run."

Charles murmured.

These days, he clearly couldn't remember anyone at all, but at this moment he remembered the thing he missed most in his heart.

Mutant school, and those mutant children.
