Chapter 130
The students were very excited.
In the X Academy
Wolverine Logan, Storm Ororo and Cyclops Scott, three members of the X-Men, closely surrounded Professor Charles.
Their eyes were full of vigilance, staring at the uninvited visitor in front of them, as if he could pose a threat to Professor Charles at any time.
"Don't be nervous, he won't hurt me, Eric, long time no see." Professor Charles' voice was gentle and firm, breaking the tense atmosphere.
He smiled faintly at the uninvited guest, Magneto Eric.
Magneto Eric, he wore a special helmet, a black cloak, and a complicated expression on his face.
He looked at Professor X deeply, and then slowly said: "You shouldn't get involved in this, Charles."
Although Magneto didn't say what it was, Professor X knew it well.
He was referring to the plan for the X Academy to join the Avengers and assist SHIELD in eradicating Hell's Kitchen where Chen Ye was.
Charles sighed softly, knowing Eric's concerns.
The two of them were once friends, but they parted ways because of different ideas.
Eric has always believed that humans and mutants cannot coexist peacefully, while Charles firmly believes that humans and mutants can achieve peace through understanding and communication.
This is the fundamental difference between them, and it is also the reason why it is difficult for them to get together again.
"They promised that as long as we join the Avengers, they will give mutants a real home, a place where we can hold our heads high and no longer be misunderstood and rejected by the world.
They even promised to open a school for us mutants, so that our children can receive education like ordinary people and integrate into society."
Charles' voice was steady and firm, as if he was telling a beautiful vision.
Hearing this, Storm and Cyclops' eyes became more complicated.
They didn't expect that Charles joined the Avengers for them and for the future of mutants.
This made them both moved and worried, and they knew how difficult this decision was for Charles.
However, Eric's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on their hearts.
"Did they fulfill their promise? What about the promised home? What about the school? Why are you still here?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment in his tone.
Charles was a little stunned by this question, but he quickly adjusted his mood and looked up at Eric, his eyes full of firmness and determination.
"They said they would fulfill their promise after the matter was done, Eric. I believe them."
However, Eric did not agree with his opinion.
"You are so naive, Charles. Do you think they really care about the future of us mutants? They are just using you."
His words were full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction, as if revealing a cruel reality.
"I don't need to tell you what kind of personalities those people in the federal government have. They are all a bunch of people who say one thing in front of you and another behind your back. Do you believe that if you destroy Hell's Kitchen now?"
"The next one will be us mutants. In the final analysis, they are just afraid of people who are stronger than them."
"What a bullshit home, the school is fake!"
Charles listened to Eric's words and was silent for a while.
He did not refute or explain, but just sat quietly in the wheelchair, as if thinking about something.
Wolverine smoked a cigar and looked out the window, revealing a complex emotion in his eyes.
And the smart Cyclops looked at Charles with a worried look on his face. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Magneto's words.
"I believe them," Charles replied.
"You should know that Hell's Kitchen is not as bad as you think, and I also know Chen Ye, the Lord of Hell. He is a good guy, and his strength is something you don't understand," Magneto tried to continue to persuade Charles.
Charles didn't expect Magneto to know Chen Ye and have been to Hell's Kitchen. He looked at Eric in surprise.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I once tried to persuade Chen Ye to join the Brotherhood of Mutants," Magneto said with a wry smile.
"What happened?" Wolverine asked for the first time.
Radiation looked at Wolverine like an idiot, Wolverine looked puzzled, not understanding why everyone looked at him like that.
"I lost, if Chen Ye hadn't shown mercy, I might have died." Eric admitted frankly
His own failure.
This sentence shocked the four people present.
They did not expect that such a powerful Eric would actually lose to others, and survive from others.
This made them more wary of Chen Ye's strength and the situation in Hell's Kitchen.
"So you still want to take your people to die?" Eric looked at Charles and asked.
He had put down his face and did not hesitate to say that he had been defeated by Chen Ye to persuade Charles.
He hoped that Charles could see the reality and not blindly believe in those so-called promises and expectations.
However, Charles was not shaken by Eric's words. He still said firmly: "I will arrange everything."
Magneto heard Charles' answer and smiled bitterly.
"Sure enough, no matter how many years it has been, the two of us are still at odds as always." He sighed.
He knew that everything Charles did was for the good of mutants, but he was still as naive as ever.
"So you will take the X-Men to participate in this war, right?" Eric asked.
"Yes, we have no choice." Professor X replied.
Although his voice was calm, it revealed a kind of determination and firmness.
As soon as the voice fell, Magneto's momentum suddenly burst out, as if an invisible storm was coming.
This powerful momentum made Wolverine, Cyclops and Storm feel an unprecedented sense of oppression, and they immediately surrounded Professor X vigilantly.
However, Magneto did not attack them, but turned and walked out the door.
At the moment he was about to leave the hall, he looked at Professor X deeply, and then said: "Charles, you always think I am wrong, but this time, you are the wrong party. Our Brotherhood of Mutants will also participate in this war."
Professor X heard this and showed a surprised expression on his face.
He didn't understand why Magneto decided to get involved when this war had no direct relationship with their Brotherhood. Was it to help him?
However, Magneto's next words shocked Professor X and his team even more.
"But I am on the side of Hell's Kitchen and I am here to stop you."
He turned and walked out the door, leaving Storm and Cyclops in shock.
They looked at Professor X, who looked serious, as if asking what to do.
Professor X knew that with the intervention of Magneto, this war would become more difficult.
"Where can we mutants find a place to stay?"
