Chapter 167 The Future of Mutants
After Chen Ye, Wanda and Strange had a hearty meal, Magneto and Professor X invited him to a private conversation.
Chen Ye frowned slightly. He couldn't help but wonder what the two old men wanted to discuss with him.
Although he was a little confused, he nodded and led them to the farthest corner of the restaurant, where there was a sofa big enough for the three of them to sit down and talk.
Chen Ye sat on the sofa, his eyes moving between Magneto and Professor X, trying to guess their true intentions.
He was not very willing to have a private chat with the two old men. If it were not for Wanda's sake, he might have refused directly.
At this moment, his heart was full of anticipation, and he wanted to check the system as soon as possible to see how much friend value this battle brought him.
Magneto looked at Professor X and nodded slightly to let him speak first.
In Magneto's opinion, he planned to wait until Professor X left before discussing it in detail with Chen Ye. After all, he did not want to let his old friend know that this proud mutant was going to join Hell's Kitchen, which was somewhat of a face issue for him.
Professor X looked at Chen Ye, his eyes gleaming with a deep light.
He slowly said, "Chen Ye, we want to hear your opinion on us mutants. What do you think our future will be like?"
After Professor X finished speaking, he stared at Chen Ye, expecting to hear some revelations from him.
Chen Ye couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he heard this question.
He didn't understand why Professor X would ask him such a question, after all, they didn't have much in common.
However, he noticed that Professor X used the word "we" when asking the question, as if he and Chen Ye were put in the same camp.
Chen Ye knew in his heart that he was not a mutant, but a purely normal human being, and all the abilities he possessed were given by the system.
However, he also understands the worries and confusion in the hearts of Professor X and Magneto.
As a special existence, mutants have always been misunderstood and excluded by society.
They long to be accepted and to find their own belonging and future.
Chen Ye slowly said, "Look at it normally. Aren't mutants human? Don't they need to eat, drink, defecate, and have children? Mutants are just humans with special abilities."
He paused and continued, "In fact, mutants are somewhat similar to the people in Hell's Kitchen. They are all despised and excluded by people, but they all live tenaciously.
Does anyone in Hell's Kitchen care what anyone else thinks?
I think mutants don’t need to care too much about what the outside world thinks of them, as long as they can live their own lives well, that’s enough.”
Chen Ye took a sip of water, glanced at Professor X and Magneto, and continued.
"Also, Professor X, you are too gentle, and Magneto, you are too extreme."
"You two leaders are not doing very well in this regard. They don't actually have such great ideals as you do. They just want to be ordinary people and speak peacefully. It is you who are driving them to act. It is you who are making decisions for them."
"Is it possible that they don't want to please the federal government or humans, nor do they want to be enemies with them. They just want to be themselves."
Chen Ye really felt that no matter it was Professor X, he was like a dog who always thought about how to please humans, and in the end he ended up with nothing.
A person who dreams of conquering the world every day, without considering that mutants are just a minority and who will manage the world for them after they conquer it.
That is to say, this country has a short history, and these Eastern ancestors have already experienced it.
These two guys, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, but no one paid any attention to them.
Chen Ye looked at the two old men in front of him with a deep gaze. Their faces were engraved with traces of time, but their eyes still burned with hope for the future.
He continued: "As for the future of mutants, either they will be completely wiped out, or they will establish a country and live on their own. Or they will lose their abilities and become ordinary people again."
"No matter how hard we try, humans will never be able to eliminate the barriers between them and mutants. Humans will always be afraid of the unknown."
What Chen Ye said was unpleasant, but it was true. Either they would become running dogs of the federal government, or they would be taken away for research.
In fact, Chen Ye didn't blame the federal government to be honest. To be honest, the abilities of some mutants were too buggy. Thinking of this, Chen Ye looked at the two old men in front of him again.
In front of these powerful mutants, humans are just lambs to be slaughtered, and they can destroy the world at will.
Human beings are selfish and contradictory. Unless most ordinary humans become mutants, the future of mutants is only to wait for death.
Not everyone with powerful superpowers is as kind as Professor X, and Homelander is the best example.
"You two old men, it's time to retire and enjoy your retirement. Let them decide the future of mutants themselves."
Chen Ye finally said, "Sometimes, we need to learn to let go. If we really want to do good for them, then we can establish a mutant nation. But this will be a very difficult thing to do."
Chen Ye also knew that Professor X and Magneto were not the kind of people who would give up easily, so he added a sentence at the end.
After listening to this, Professor X felt bitter. He didn't expect that all his efforts were in vain in Chen Ye's eyes.
In fact, he understood what Chen Ye said, but he was still willing to believe that ordinary humans would change their views on mutants through his own efforts.
He is indeed a little too protective of mutants, but if they are not disciplined, mutants will either become a threat to society or be killed by the federal government before they grow up.
Professor X took a deep breath and admitted that Chen Ye’s proposal to establish a country was an ideal solution.
However, he also knew the difficulty involved.
To achieve this goal, not only does it require huge amounts of money, manpower and energy, but it also requires facing resistance and challenges from all aspects of society. This is an almost impossible task.
At the same time, Magneto does not have as many concerns as Professor X.
He admitted that his method might be a bit extreme, but he believed that only in this way could the outside world see the power of mutants and prevent them from bullying them easily.
Although doing so may make more people afraid of mutants, in his opinion, it is a necessary measure to protect mutants from being bullied.
Anyway, he has made up his mind to stay in Hell's Kitchen. I am not good at management, so I can just leave him to Chen Ye.
Seeing how Chen Ye is able to stir up trouble, there will definitely be no shortage of fights in the future, so I can just be his fighter.
In his heart, he has begun to look forward to the future of Chen Ye and Wanda.
He looked forward to them getting married, giving birth to a powerful child, and even to their grandson becoming an even more powerful mutant.
Originally, Chen Ye was ready to leave after the conversation, but unexpectedly, Professor X suddenly said to Chen Ye.
"I don't know if Hell's Kitchen is willing to accept mutants."
