The process had been a little roundabout.

But in the end, Pietro agreed to join the operation.

The distance between the town and the special district was not far. Since Hank had made arrangements in advance, the group quickly blended into a tour group and entered the Pentagon.

"The Pentagon was built in 1943 and covers more than six million square feet..."

At the front of the group, a blonde girl patiently introduced some basic information to everyone. Logan, Charles, Hank, and Fang Mo followed at the back of the group.

They all wore forged ID cards.

They were Hank's handiwork.

Thanks to them, the group had managed to infiltrate the building without issue.

However, because of that, Fang Mo had given Beast Hank a new nickname... Sai Houzhen.

Worth mentioning was that Pietro had not come with them. After all, his Mutant Ability was practically a dimensionality-reduction strike against ordinary people. If he wanted to, any military base on Earth would be completely undefended to him.

No helping it...

Who told him he was the famous Quicksilver?

This guy was completely different from the other Pietro in the neighboring Marvel Universe.

In the original work next door, Quicksilver had actually been riddled with bullets by Ultron's underlings... Sure, it felt a little like a plot-induced death because of vague copyright issues, but wasn't it a bit too idiotic to let Quicksilver die to kinetic weapons? Ultron could at least have used laser weapons, right?

Meanwhile, Quicksilver on the X-Men side was entirely different.

Whenever he activated his ability, the cinematic sense of impact practically exploded off the screen.

It was precisely because of this exaggerated Mutant Ability that Charles temporarily changed the plan. They split into two groups: Pietro would infiltrate the interior, while the rest would provide support.
