"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Aaron. I'll go back now and collect blood from all the students and send it to Aaron Industries as soon as possible."
Charles quickly said, fearing Aaron might change his mind.
Every minute and second of Aaron's time brought in millions. Delaying him for a bit longer would be worth several times Charles's own net worth.
Thinking of this, Charles immediately gave Ororo a look.
The latter nodded understandingly and turned to leave.
Scott wanted to say something, but Charles gave him a look, and he immediately closed his mouth.
Seeing this, Aaron waved his hand and got into the car without looking back.
He seemed completely indifferent to the Mutant blood data.
Charles felt even more remorseful. Aaron sacrificed tens of billions to come to their school to teach them, share important information, and was even willing to sacrifice hundreds of billions to research gene-perfecting medicine for Mutants, yet he was doubting the other party's motives.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he slammed his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair.
"Shit, I really deserve to die!"
"Professor?"
Scott and Logan looked over.
Charles shook his head and looked around. "Where are Rogue and Shadowcat?"
Logan looked around upon hearing this.
Scott looked into the distance at this moment.
"Professor, they seem to have gotten into Aaron's car."
Charles was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry about them. They'll be safer with Mr. Aaron than they are here with us."
Logan watched the rolls-royce disappear from sight, then popped out two claws and viciously chopped down a nearby tree.
"Damn it, where did I go wrong?"

Meanwhile, in the back seat of the car.
Aaron wasn't surprised to see Anna and Kitty get in halfway.
Anna cautiously asked, "Mr. Aaron, I want to follow you, is that okay?"
As the first person Anna could truly touch, Aaron held a very important place in her heart.
Before her ability problem was completely resolved, Aaron might be the first and only person she could have intimate contact with.
Therefore, only Aaron could let her experience all the wonderful things a normal woman could experience.
"If you want to follow me, then you'll have a lot to learn."
Aaron asked seriously, "Aaron Industries doesn't keep idlers. From now on, you'll follow Gwen and learn how to be a good secretary. Any problems?"
Anna glanced at Gwen, who was focused on driving and couldn't turn her head.
She nodded solemnly. "No problem. I'll do my best."
Aaron nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Kitty, who had gotten into the car and hadn't gotten out.
"So what about you? You brought Anna up, are you going back now?"
Kitty looked at Anna, then said seriously, "I also want to follow you, like a truly normal person."
Although life at the school was good, Kitty wanted to appear freely in the sunlight as a normal person even more. Besides that, she was very curious about Aaron.
When she snuck into the office to eavesdrop earlier, Kitty noticed that Aaron had immediately spotted her, but didn't expose her disguise.
If it weren't for Logan's unintentional claw at the end, Charles and the others might not have noticed her actions until the very end. Of course, this also had to do with Charles not daring to use telepathy in front of Aaron.
Normally, Charles constantly permeated the surroundings with a psychic field, and even if Kitty suddenly snuck in, he would notice immediately.
Aaron said, "Oh, in that case, you two will have to work hard."
"You should still be in high school, right? I'll arrange for you to study while adapting to secretarial work."
Kitty and Anna's faces fell upon hearing this.
They still had to study?
"Can I not study?" Anna whispered.
"I hate those people, they'll treat me like a monster, and I might hurt them."
As she spoke, Anna suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "How about this? I'll study after my ability defect is resolved."
Before Aaron could speak, she added, "Double degrees."
"Good, it's a deal then." Aaron grinned, looking at her playfully.
"I'm not forcing you, don't forget the promise you made today."
Anna immediately felt a bad premonition.
Had she dug a pit for herself?
Kitty, who was about to speak, felt very fortunate that she hadn't said anything.
Facing Aaron's gaze, she immediately patted her chest and promised, "I will definitely study hard."
Anna looked over.
Shouldn't we advance and retreat together?
Kitty gave a helpless look.
But I can't jump into the pit with you.
Anna was on the verge of tears.
Aaron then reached out and pinched a strand of Kitty's white hair. With a gentle twist of his thumb and forefinger, the white hair instantly vanished.
Anna blinked, looking enviously at Kitty. She yearned for such gentle "service" from Aaron.
As for Aaron, he watched the stream of light surge into his body.
[Phasing: You can pass through almost any object, including but not limited to physical entities, most energies, and some concepts (including time). You can also project your own or others' consciousness into the past or future (beware of creating time branches).]
Aaron's pupils constricted slightly. His breathing also became a little heavier.
But no one noticed his subtle change.
Many thoughts flashed through Aaron's mind.
For a moment, he had the illusion of browsing the past, peering into the future, and traversing everything.
No, it wasn't an illusion. He could now truly pass through almost any substance.
This phasing could be a physical level of phasing, passing through almost any real object.
It was somewhat similar to quantum phasing ability.
This was also Kitty's basic ability.
But Kitty's phasing had a weakness. When she phased, she could breathe, but when passing through matter (earth, water), she had to hold her breath. This greatly weakened her ability.
But Aaron was different. He had long since not needed to breathe, and his Super-Dimensional Body further freed him from this need.
This meant that if Aaron wished, he could remain in a phased state forever, making him a super-enhanced version of Obito.
If facing an existence of the same level, he could even phase through and grab the opponent's heart or brain, instantly killing them from the inside.
Of course, this ability could only be used against beings whose body was not stronger than his own.
Against someone with a more powerful body, he would just put other objects into their brain, instantly making it explode.
