Chapter 40 Tell me where he is
Sabretooth recalled the fighting power of Lin Feng and his companions.
I was impressed by the power of the Devil Fruit users.
He and Toad Man did not waste any time and quickly returned to the temporary base where Magneto was.
For this incident, Magneto deliberately hid in an extremely hidden cave on a cliff.
A temporary underground base was established.
And it was similar to what Lin Feng had guessed.
He is indeed busy modifying the machine that can stimulate the X gene in ordinary people.
This is a signature gene of mutants.
Most people have this gene.
It’s just that some will show up, while some will never be activated in their entire lives.
That's why when humans invented the Sentinel robots that could target mutants.
It caused a huge chain reaction, completely exterminating the entire human race.
This is because most ordinary people also have mutant genes in their bodies.
Magneto knew this a long time ago.
So this time he built this machine.
This machine can stimulate the mutant genes of ordinary people and turn them into overt mutants.
Doing so would not only expand the mutant population.
Magneto also plans to take this opportunity to transform a group of senior government officials into mutants.
In this way, it is possible to retaliate against the government's high-level officials for their strong suppression of mutants for a long period of time.
On the other hand, these mutants in high positions can also improve the living conditions of the lower-level mutants.
This idea was originally very beautiful.
Unfortunately, the price of using this instrument is simply too high.
If his abilities were merely weakened, King Manji might still consider giving it a try.
But this instrument could very well cost him his life.
So Magneto has been studying this machine, trying to minimize its side effects.
However, it has never been successful.
This time, after hearing that General Stryker was hunting down a new mutant.
As per usual, he sent two of his generals, Sabretooth and Toad Man, to help Frank.
In fact, he had already learned that Frank had performed very well at the Stark Group's military exhibition.
The matter of catching all the military forces in one fell swoop.
The battle was so intense that it was difficult to hide it from anyone who was looking for it.
In that case, Magneto identified Frank as a mutant.
Moreover, he was considered to be extremely powerful in combat and could be a good subordinate.
So he sent Sabretooth and Toad Man to rescue Frank.
Yes, his original plan was to rescue.
He had actually dealt with General Stryker before and knew that this man was extremely difficult to deal with.
So he didn't think Frank could beat Stryker.
He sent Sabretooth and Toad Man mainly to save Frank's life at the critical moment.
This will actually make him grateful and make it easier to recruit him as your subordinate.
However, Sabretooth and Toad Man now returned empty-handed, which surprised Magneto very much.
"Has that Frank been captured by Stryker?"
Sabretooth and Toad Man looked at each other, not knowing how to start.
When Magneto saw their expressions, he thought the mission had failed and they were too embarrassed to speak.
So he comforted them:
"Strike's strength is too strong after all."
"It's normal that you failed to save the mutant."
"The blood of too many of our compatriots is on Stryker's hands."
"Let's keep this account in mind for now. We will seek retaliation from him sooner or later!"
Sabretooth heard this and said to Magneto awkwardly:
"Boss, you misunderstood. That Stryker didn't take down Frank."
"He's even more powerful than we thought!"
"General Stryker suffered heavy losses after fighting with him and turned away."
Hearing what Sabretooth said, Magneto was naturally very surprised.
He knew very well who General Stryker was.
This person doesn't care about the so-called heavy casualties.
He always does things at any cost, especially when facing mutants.
Now you are willing to retreat even though you are at a disadvantage?
So how strong is this Frank!
Magneto quickly asked Sabretooth about the details.
Sabretooth was thinking about how to talk about the devil fruit.
However, Magneto asked about this matter first, so he had to tell Magneto about the battle between Frank and Stryker.
Magneto was also shocked after hearing the whole process.
With his knowledge, he almost instantly figured out why Stryker had retreated first, contrary to his usual practice.
Even compromise with Frank.
Stryker is not the type to compromise with mutants.
Don't say Frank only once worked for the military.
Even if Stryker's own son is a mutant.
Magneto would have no doubt that he would kill his own son with his own hands.
Such a person suddenly compromised with Frank.
There is only one possibility, there was something wrong with the medicines they fired at that time!
General Stryker has a potion that can make mutants lose their abilities.
Magneto also knows something about it.
His Mystique can transform into the physical appearance of other people.
So, even though Stryker has extremely deep research on mutants.
But his information still could not be hidden from Magneto.
Stryker used the potion that eliminates mutant abilities on Frank, but it had no effect.
This is the reason why he retreated.
Magneto understood everything in an instant.
However, his thoughts were different from Stryker's. He didn't think there was a problem with the medicine.
Magneto believed that it was Frank's special abilities that caused this.
He became very excited when he thought of this.
When facing Stryker's attack with a potion that eliminates mutant abilities, the mutants were almost powerless to fight back.
Now there is a mutant who can resist the elimination agent.
This excited him greatly.
Magneto asked Sabretooth anxiously:
"Where is that Frank now?"
"That kind of physique that can ignore the effects of elimination potions will be of great use to us!"
"Tell me where he is!"
Sabretooth said to Magneto with an embarrassed look on his face:
"Boss, maybe we got something wrong before."
"That Frank is not actually a mutant."
"His abilities come from something called a devil fruit."
"He claims to be a devil fruit user."
"The reason why the potion didn't work on him is precisely because he is not a mutant at all."
Magneto was stunned when he heard Sabretooth's words.
Frank isn't a mutant?
Why does the name of Devil Fruit User sound so familiar?
