As a partner of a well-known law firm in the United States, Lawyer Olmo's connections are indeed very strong. He achieved the goal that Qin and Ororo failed to achieve despite their best efforts.

While Qin was anxiously waiting for Raven's information, Olmo called her and claimed that the military had relented and allowed staff from the Children's Rights Protection Foundation to communicate face-to-face with children.

Qin was overjoyed and thanked her profusely: "That's great, Lawyer Olmo, thank you. We will come over right away and see you soon."

"Uh... Qin, you didn't hear clearly. What I said was that staff from the Children's Rights Protection Foundation are allowed to enter the nursing home to meet and communicate with children. This does not include any mutants."

"What? Why is this happening?" Qin asked in surprise.

"Because... don't be angry, Qin. You know, the military has always been discriminatory towards mutants. They are worried that you will use force to take away the children." Olmo was evasive, obviously the military Fang Yuan's words would definitely not be so polite.

"This is ridiculous! If we wanted to use force, we wouldn't even think about going through legal procedures! They are slandering us out of thin air!" Qin shouted angrily.

"Of course I know, but you also need to understand more. The military has always been dominated by conservatives. They are just like the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard. We really can't reason with them. Fortunately, we have already surpassed them. We have made some progress again this time, let’s do it bit by bit and make sure the children are safe before talking about anything else. How about it?"

Lawyer Olmo persuaded me nicely on the phone.

Qin took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and said slowly: "Okay, that's all. I'll leave everything to your friends."

"Don't worry, Qin, this is their job, and they are all mothers, and they are willing to do what they can for the rights of their children."

"Then I'm waiting for your good news."

Qin hung up the phone, rubbed her frown, briefly explained the situation to Ororo, and then the two of them anxiously waited for the results of the visit.

Good news came one after another, and they received another message from "Ruiwen", agreeing to meet them somewhere.

The two left their residence and drove to the agreed-upon location, a remote cafe. When they opened the door, they saw "Ruiwen" sitting across from someone drinking coffee.

Qin took a look at the man and recognized it immediately. This man had a black bald head, one eye, and distinctive features. He was clearly the famous Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.

She didn't know what the people from SHIELD wanted to do when they got involved, so she looked at "Riven" with a puzzled look and sent out an inquiry signal.

"It seems like you know me, that's great. I won't have to introduce myself." Nick smiled and stood up to say hello.

"Director Fury's name is well known to everyone in the upper circles of the supernatural world."

Jean stretched out her hand politely, shook it with Nick, and then sat next to the two of them with Ororo.

The waiter came over to serve coffee to the two of them. After the waiter left, Qin took the initiative to ask: "I wonder if Director Fury is here this time. What advice do you have?"

"About X Academy, SHIELD has the information you need." Nick said, and Natasha opposite him stretched out her hand and handed over a folder.

Jean and Ororo looked at each other and thought "Riven" had joined S.H.I.E.L.D., which didn't surprise them.

Although the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. do not belong to each other and have a very general relationship with each other, some people have joined the Avengers in an individual capacity, such as Wolverine Logan, so "Riven" became an Avenger, and it was also very normal.

Qin reached out and took the folder. After opening it, she saw that it contained information about the places where Professor X and others were detained.

As they expected, these people were detained in military bases and not in any nursing homes at all.

Ororo suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, since the children are not in the nursing home, then today's meeting..."

"It's a trap!" Qin also reacted.

Qin quickly took out her mobile phone and called lawyer Olmo. As soon as the call was connected, she hurriedly shouted:

"Lawyer Olmo, cancel today's meeting quickly. Today's meeting is a trap!"

"What? Qin, we have already met a child, and he is sitting opposite us now..."

Before lawyer Olmo finished speaking, there was a sudden roar from the other end of the phone, followed by a huge explosion and the signal was cut off.

"Damn it!" Qin stood up in a hurry, "We have to save people!"

Ororo was also anxious, but she was helpless in this situation.

"Where to go? They were taken away by the military and they didn't tell us their specific address at all."

The two of them turned their attention to Nick next to them.

"Give me a few minutes." Nick picked up the phone and called his subordinate. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone and stretched out his hand to signal: "Sit down and wait. Rushing will not solve the problem."

Fury's calmness infected Qin and Ororo. They sat down again and sincerely expressed their inner gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Director Fury, you were of great help this time. And Raven, thanks to you too."

Natasha smiled brightly and said, "I am Natasha Romanoff, a SHIELD agent. Nice to meet you."

Qin and Ororo's faces froze, then they realized that they had recognized the wrong person. Their faces turned red with shame and they apologized hastily: "Sorry, Natasha, we thought..."

Natasha smiled and shook her head and said: "Riven is the Hanson in the martial arts gym. If it weren't for you yesterday, I wouldn't have discovered it. I can only say that Mystique's transformation ability is too exaggerated. "

Hansen's information is real. With SHIELD's ability, based on this information, it is not difficult to find the real Hansen.

There can't be two Hansons in the world, and Mystique was exposed.

Qin and Ororo looked at each other, both very embarrassed. They had tricked their "good sisters" this time.

Mystique is a wanted criminal in the federation. Although SHIELD may not be involved in this matter, based on their understanding of SHIELD, Mystique will inevitably be targeted and monitored.

Nick broke the awkward situation and asked: "Qin, Ororo, are you willing to join the Avengers?"

They are all veteran warriors with clear goals and determination. There is no point in going around here and there. Going straight to the topic is the most appropriate way of communication.

The two looked at each other, hesitantly.

"The X-Men have always only intervened in matters related to mutants, and have not intervened in ordinary people's affairs."

"Director Fury, you also know that mutants are already being ostracized. If we continue to be too active, we will inevitably arouse the fear of more high-level people, which will be detrimental to the situation of mutants."

"Yeah, that's a pity." Nick sighed and said, "I understand your choice, but I still hope that mutants can make more contributions in dealing with the crisis on earth."

The phone rang, and after Nick answered the call, he said: "Doctor Olmo is now performing emergency treatment at Presbyterian Hospital."

Qin and Ororo hurriedly stood up, said goodbye and left.

"Thank you very much, Director Fury. We will remember this favor. If you need it, you can call us and we can help in our private capacity."
