Chapter 1142 Negative Public Opinion Against Mutants

Of course, Eric also underwent minor plastic surgery on his face, making him look somewhat different from the legendary "Magneto". He dyed his hair, changed his style, and then settled down in New York openly.

These are some suggestions given by Uchiha Shisui. If Magneto wants to live a normal life with his wife and daughter, he can only start from this perspective, otherwise Eric will be wanted by countries around the world.

Eric himself was well aware that what he had done had put him on the opposite side of the political power of mankind all over the world.

You have to know that when Eric manipulated the magnetic metal on the earth's surface, he almost disrupted the entire earth's magnetic field, which could directly lead to a huge disaster that destroyed the entire world. For such a big disaster, governments around the world wanted to catch Eric and skin him alive.

Eric has been living in New York City for half a year and feels pretty good about it. Even Quicksilver often comes to visit him.

Although Eric didn't know why Quicksilver, a young man, liked to deal with a middle-aged man like him, Quicksilver had always been respectful to Eric. In addition, Eric's daughter Nina liked Quicksilver very much, so Eric didn't reject Quicksilver.

"What's wrong, dear?" Eric's wife Summers was a little worried when she saw her husband looking sad.

"Recently, the news media has been smearing mutants too severely. Even many tabloids have begun to promote that mutants are born criminals. I'm worried that more things will happen in the future..."

After experiencing the "death" of his wife Summers and daughter Nina, Eric has become more cherishing of his current beautiful and happy life, but he is still pessimistic about the future of mutants.

So far, public opinion has almost unanimously begun to discredit mutants. This negative sentiment is like the anti-Semitic sentiment that was surging throughout Germany before World War II - although as a Jew, Eric also knows that there are reasons why many people dislike Jews.

Eric is just an ordinary Jew, so Eric's family has never actually hurt anyone - other large Jewish families are different. You know, the Jews are well known to the world for their shrewdness. The capital accumulation of the Jews is basically accumulated through financial activities such as usury.

Jews will do whatever industry can make money, without considering whether what they do hurts ordinary people at the bottom of society.

At that time, many ordinary families in Germany were forced to the point of being broken up by the Jews, so that the resistance against the Jews in Germany was extremely high.

The current news media's smear campaign against mutants is very similar to the actions of the Nazis back then. The difference is that the mutant community is basically innocent.

Of course, Eric knew that some mutants did harm people around them when they awakened, but the number was very small. Are there any mutants who commit crimes? Yes, but the number is also very small.

After all, if you go to a prison, you will know that black prisoners account for half of the total number of prisoners, but in fact the black population only accounts for about 14% of the total population of the United States. There are also a large number of whites, Mexicans, and Irish. There are also a large number of immigrants from other countries. Blacks are the mainstream of crime in the United States.

However, the reputation of criminals now seems to have shifted to mutants overnight, and Eric is certainly not satisfied. Even though Eric now hides his identity and no longer takes action, he still cares about the current situation of the mutant community.

"I'm sorry, Eric has put you under a lot of pressure." Although Summers was not clear about the situation of mutants, the crazy behavior Eric did after he and his daughter faked their deaths fully proved Eric's love for his wife and daughter.

"This is not your fault. This is the oppression and discrimination against mutants in this world. Don't worry, I won't act impulsively. I will go to X Academy this afternoon. I want to discuss it with Charles. But I will never act impulsively. Believe me."

Eric now cherishes his peaceful life more and more, so even if the current situation is not favorable to mutants, Eric has no intention of intervening directly - if it were the previous Eric, he might have directly used force to intervene. It is this kind of Magneto that governments are afraid of, because Magneto is different from Charles, who has a stable personality.

Even if you killed Charles' students, Charles would only let the law judge the murderer, but it would be the same with Eric. Eric would judge the case himself. This is why governments have always let Charles go before. A person's character and aggressiveness largely determine other people's attitude towards him.

"Be careful Eric, Nina and I will be waiting for you to come back." Summers gave Eric a gentle hug.

In the afternoon, Eric drove an old Chevrolet pickup truck to Charles's estate. Half a year had passed since the apocalypse, and Eric had not met Charles.

After all, what Eric did in the beginning was quite unethical and he was too ashamed to see Charles. But this time, he sensed the strange undercurrent behind the public opinion, so he had to come to him with a thick face.

However, Eric was still quite surprised to see Charles and Maura walking hand in hand on the lawn after entering the college.

"Eric? Long time no see!" Charles smiled happily when he saw Eric.

"Long time no see Charles, when did you start?"

Eric pointed at the two people holding hands, a little surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Maura and Charles had a closer relationship, so strictly speaking, they could be considered a couple that finally got married?

"We officially established our relationship half a year ago. As you know, we met each other several years ago." Charles responded openly to their relationship.

"Congratulations, but my next topic may be a bit of a spoiler. I wonder if you would be willing to chat with me for a few minutes now?" Eric was not sure whether it was appropriate to discuss the social issues of mutants in the presence of Mora.

"I'm just going to go see the kids, you guys chat first." Maura seemed to understand something and took the initiative to find an excuse to leave, leaving Charles and Eric alone.

Eric was also filled with emotion. Although Maura was a CIA agent, she was indeed sincere to Charles (after all, ordinary people would not be able to hide their thoughts in front of Charles), and she was very good at judging the situation.

"Cherish the person in front of you, Charles. Although Maura has a child, you can have a child of your own."

"Thank you for your reminder. We will consider this matter carefully." Charles responded. "You must have something to talk to me about today, right? Otherwise, I don't think you would take the initiative to look for me."

"Didn't you use your ability to see into my thoughts?"
