Chapter 86 The Sense of Failure

The oppressive atmosphere in the Oval Office of the White House, which has been silent for a long time, seems to be the day when President Roosevelt decided to declare war when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

Mr. President Truman was raving as if explaining to himself, and everyone in the round hall looked at each other, as if they couldn't think of any other answer except this result.

Professor Oppenheimer gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "According to the explosion observation data, it was an air explosion at a height of 500 to [-] meters in mid-air. The Soviet Union has indeed started research in this area, but theoretically it should not have achieved results so soon."

"I just showed off the power of the atomic bomb to Stalin at a meeting a few days ago. He just told me quietly that he hoped to use this weapon to deal with Japan. It's a shame."

Truman said in a daze that he should not reveal his heart in front of his subordinates, he sneered twice and shook his head.

"Unless Stalin himself jumps out, we have to pinch our noses and admit that it was the work of the United States. The Japanese royal family hiding in the Tokyo air-raid shelter, as well as many upper classes, high-level military, all died of direct or indirect atomic bombs under the explosion"

"Mr. President, in terms of the rules of war, we did nothing wrong. Tokyo's nuclear bomb was only a few hours behind Nagasaki, and Japan did not officially declare its surrender. This can be regarded as a strategic plan of the United States."

Secretary of the Army Charles Forrestle solemnly and earnestly offered "comfort" to President Truman.

Mr. President glared at the general angrily, panting heavily.

"I don't understand? But this terrible fact and secret can only be swallowed by ourselves. From today, the real situation of the Tokyo atomic bombing incident is listed as the top secret of the United States, and Area 51 is sealed, and there is no declassification time."

After the top secrecy was reiterated, the people in the room filed out in a dull file, and at the end, Dr. Oppenheimer, who presided over the entire Manhattan Project, flashed an almost impossible idea in his mind.

He shook his head, laughing at himself for having such an unrealistic idea.

——James Howlett, the super oligarch who provided more than half of the Manhattan Project's development funds, scientific research backbone support, and most of the original uranium ore.

How could it be possible to drop an atomic bomb that is only theoretically possible to Japan, which has nothing to do with itself?
Howlett Manor on Long Island has been built for decades.

Although it is not as good as Edmond's old house for more than a hundred years, the old castle-like years have accumulated, but the rows of huge old thorn bushes have grown stronger and more knotty, as big as oak trees.

Several planted maple trees, phoenix trees, boxwood trees, and myrtle trees are also lush with leaves and branches, green as a cover.

Emma Frost and Eric Lanshere were traveling together in a middle-class Ford car. She thought Eric's family conditions were not too rich, but the scale of this Long Island manor When it comes to style, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

"Frost, this is the house of a distant brother of mine. My mother and I came here from Poland to join him because of the war."

While Eric introduced the fabricated relationship and experiences to Emma, ​​he was relieved that his father was happy to receive his visiting classmates from school.

"My mother's English is not very good, so it's not convenient to communicate with you. Brother James will talk to you."

The waiter of the manor was already waiting outside the foyer, greeted Emma gracefully, and led them into the main building.

"Brother? But he clearly thinks of 'Daddy'."

Emma glanced strangely at the relaxed and even joyful Eric. This somewhat mysterious male classmate said something that he didn't mean, which made the young Emma a little confused.

James was talking to Jules Burnham, the housekeeper, in the study upstairs. Casper, the housekeeper, was getting old, and he had returned to the old house to recuperate.

Watching the children of the old men of the Howlett family train and study in the manor every day is quite a pleasure.

Casper's son, Brian, did not inherit the responsibilities of the butler like his father and grandfather Wayne Foss, but entered the top management of the group and was responsible for many affairs in the family business.

He is a top student at Harvard Business School, and he is more suitable to display his ambitions in business.

The new butler, Jules Burnham, is a descendant of the members of the wolf pack and was selected to be the new butler. He is a seasoned and thoughtful man under the age of 40.

"Master, Eric's classmate is here, it's a lady."

"Well, Jules, you help me entertain the guests first."

Mr. Butler bowed his body and left the study, while properly making arrangements to the attendants who came in.

Emma Frost's father is a well-known wealthy businessman in Boston, so she has been very knowledgeable since she was a child. This manor-style mansion, which already has a somewhat quaint temperament from the outside, has extremely simple and elegant interior furnishings.

There is no resplendent traditional European mansion style, nor too many expensive ornaments and decorations, all the extraordinary is the unique embodiment of details and textures.

The marble and cut natural crystal mosaic tabletop, nanmu chairs, and a mysterious giant pattern on the fireplace in the living room are suspected to be inlaid with natural gemstones.

Emma watched the exquisite snacks and ice cream presented by the attendants, all of which were freshly made and exuded the aroma when they were baked. She thanked Mr. Butler politely and was not in a hurry to taste them.

She is not interested in the wealth of Eric, the elder, but hopes to get to know this mysterious gentleman through contact, so as to understand some knowledge beyond the scope of people's cognition.

Emma is very confident in her abilities, she only needs verbal guidance, and she will be able to "hear" a lot of secrets.

"The young master will be here soon, some things are delayed, please wait a moment, Miss."

As soon as Butler Jules finished speaking, James walked down the marble-paved escalator. He casually wore a light sweater and casual trousers. He was tall and handsome, and greeted Emma with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Eric's cousin, James Howlett, um, strictly speaking, James II, you are welcome to be our guest."

Emma looked at this tall and handsome young man who was as tall as a sculpture, but also extraordinarily friendly and hearty, and couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment. James' figure and temperament were very oppressive, and his natural and free and easy state transformed it into A reassuring sense of security.

"Em, Emma Frost, for disturbing Mr. Howlett."

Emma and James shook hands lightly with their outstretched palms, and somehow their cheeks became hot.

"Welcome, Miss Frost, please feel free."

James looked at Eric who was sitting on the side, who was a little embarrassed, and kindly asked him to accompany his mother, Mrs. Etie.

Eric secretly thanked his father for his help. Although it was just a visit from a classmate, there was still an inexplicable atmosphere of a teacher meeting a parent. Maybe Frost's aura and temperament were too mature.

While thinking wildly, the boy said hello and fled away, and ran back to get an ice cream within two steps, and winked at James.

Emma frowned imperceptibly: "It's 'Daddy' again, is this what Eric and this cousin call in private? I, I look too mature? Will it look old?"

Emma read Eric's voice unconsciously, and even worried about her own image strangely. Ever since she discovered this ability, she has become accustomed to people's inner pointing and judgment on her appearance .

Until I can master and control the ability to read other people's thoughts and emotions, and let go of the real but unspoken thoughts that people will have in their hearts, I have already had self-persistence and judgment.

"Hope Eric is doing well in Meister, I always thought he could make some friends, he had a lot of bad experiences with the war in Poland."

Hearing James' voice, Emma hurriedly gathered her mind. She had "another purpose" today, so she couldn't waste this opportunity.

"Eric's rugby is great. I've suggested him to join the school's rugby team. Mr. Howlett doesn't have to worry too much. Since he showed himself on the field, many students have invited Eric to play together."

James nodded with a smile, and chatted with this Miss Frost about the situation of Meister School.

He gradually became aware of some interesting "things" in his mind, and while continuing to chat, he looked at this beautiful and generous young female student with a half-smile.

"It's great that Eric has a brother like you. He always calls you 'Daddy'. I thought it would be an older elder."

The more Emma chatted, the more strange she became. She had already focused her consciousness on the thoughts of the handsome Mr. Ahem, but from the beginning to the end, Emma didn't notice any fluctuations in her emotions.

Apart from what James said, Emma couldn't hear other voices. Could it be that he is extremely focused and even has special training?You can avoid distracting thoughts and associations in your mind.

Emma took the risk of calling him "Daddy". She wanted to see if the young Mr. Howlett would agree with what he said.

James smiled heartily, showing four slightly protruding canine teeth, with a bit of enchanting charm. He nodded and spoke jokingly.

"Yes, some people will call me that, but I believe Eric will not take the initiative to mention me in front of you, and this title, isn't it, Miss Frost."

After James finished speaking, he lightly tapped the position of his temple with his fingers, and looked at Emma, ​​who was stunned as if struck by lightning, with her beautiful eyes wide open and motionless, still smiling brightly.

This young, beautiful and extraordinary Miss Emma Frost is a mutant with telepathic ability.
