"Mr. Bloom, nice to meet you."
The dean, who had a kind face, greeted Russell with a smile.
Although he is middle-aged, he is still charming and charming, and with a kind smile on his face, he easily wins people's favor.
This director is very good and treats the children in the orphanage well, so this orphanage will receive funding from Bloom.
"Hello, Ms. Watson."
After shaking the other person's extended hand, Russell said directly: "Where is that child?"
Seeing that Russell went directly to the topic, Watson breathed a sigh of relief and said with a worried face: "Please follow me."
"That kid is a little scared now."
"And other children are also a little afraid of him because of his awakening of mutant powers."
"Even, because of his mutant abilities, other children did things to hurt that child out of fear."
"So, the child couldn't help resisting with his own abilities and caused a fire."
Watson's tone was impartial, and he did not feel disgusted because the child had awakened mutant abilities and became a mutant.
This is very rare and valuable.
"Well, you should be afraid."
When most mutants awaken their mutant abilities, they will panic because of the changes that have occurred in themselves. Coupled with the disgust, rejection, and even harm from the people around them, it will arouse people's instinctive defense and protection. At this time, Because mutants who have just awakened and cannot control their abilities often hurt those around them.
This will make other people hate him even more, and he himself will be more at a loss and more scared because he hurts others.
Of course, this only refers to the majority of people, and does not include those who are mentally strong or psychopathic.
"This is it."
After a while, Dean Watson took Russell outside a dormitory.
The doors and windows of the dormitory are closed tightly, and even in broad daylight, the curtains are drawn tightly, as if it is another world.
When they saw Dean Watson approaching, some children who were outside the dormitory door and trying to see through the cracks let out a 'hula', like frightened birds, and hurriedly left.
Watson smiled helplessly and said to Russell: "I made you laugh, Mr. Bloom."
Russell smiled slightly to express his understanding, looked at the dormitory and said, "He is in there? What is his name?"
"John Allardyce, just call him John."
As he spoke, Dean Watson walked to the door of the dormitory, knocked on the door, and said softly in a softer tone than before: "John, open the door."
Not long after he finished speaking, a gap opened in the closed door, and a pair of frightened and worried eyes appeared from the gap. After carefully looking at Russell and his party outside the door, he whispered: "Ms. Watson. "
After finishing his words, he looked at Russell and the two curiously.
"Open the door, John." Watson said softly, pointed at Russell and said: "These are Mr. Bloom and Mr. Caesar."
"They're here to take you to a school."
John's eyes swept across the two Russells, and a strong look of fear suddenly emerged in his eyes.
"boom!"
After closing the door forcefully, John's trembling voice came from inside.
"Dean Watson! You said you wouldn't hand me over to bad people!"
Bad guy!
Russell was stunned, looked at Caesar with a tense face and said, "It must be because of you that he regards us as bad guys."
Caesar's mouth twitched and he looked at Russell speechlessly.
"Sorry, he's just insecure." Watson explained to Russell and Russell apologetically, and again in his usual soft tone, he said: "John, I remember making an agreement with you, believe me, if they will hurt If you say so, I will not bring them to you, my child.”
"You said you wouldn't drive me away!" John yelled, "You lied to me!"
"I..." Ms. Watson looked confused and didn't know how to speak. Russell waved her hand, walked to the door, knocked on the door twice, and said, "John, right?"
"Looking at your age, you should be sixteen soon."
"You should also know the rules of the orphanage. Once you reach the age of sixteen, you should leave here and face society like an adult."
"Or do you simply have no courage to face your future?"
After a long silence, John's voice, which had become deeper, sounded.
"But, I am no longer who I used to be. I don't know what to do about my future!"
"So, you need a new future, a re-planned future." Russell smiled faintly, added fuel to the fire, and said, "Your future lies in the school I take you to."
"A school?" John opened the door again.
"That's right." Russell nodded and said, "You will have a brand new future there."
With the inner look in his eyes, John was still a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Watson said softly: "I promise you! John! Mr. Bloom will never hurt you and will definitely take you to a place that suits you!"
Looking at Watson, perhaps thinking of how much Watson had taken care of him over the years, John finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, but don't try to lie to me!"
"If I find out that you lied to me, I will burn you to death!"
Russell raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I won't lie to you."
Watson smiled and nodded.
"Squeak!"
Finally, after three guarantees, John opened the door and said to Russell: "In that case, let's go!"
"Won't you pack your things? John?" Watson asked with concern.
"Leave them to others!" As he spoke, John bent down to Watson and said respectfully: "Thank you for taking care of me for so many years, Ms. Watson!"
Watson's eyes turned red, he reached out and rubbed John's head, and said to Russell: "Mr. Bloom, I will leave John to you."
"Don't worry!" Russell responded and said to John: "Let's go!"
After saying this, he and Caesar walked towards the car together as if they were not afraid that John would not follow.
But John bowed to Watson again, then turned around and chased Russell.
Seeing Russell and Russell's car, John was slightly surprised, and then got into the car with full vigilance.
Seeing this, Russell waved his hand to Dean Watson, who was standing there, and turned to Caesar: "Let's go."
The car moved slowly, getting farther and farther away from the orphanage. After taking a deep look, John pretended to be calm and said: "Mr. Bloom, what is the name of the school you are talking about?"
After giving the other party a funny look, Russell said: "School x, a school for mutants."
"Mutant school!" John whispered, a look of longing flashing in his eyes.
