Chapter 497: The Calm Before the Storm
Eric is also a good man at heart, and he does not hesitate to make a choice in this critical moment, which is to use his ability to freeze the furnace filled with hot molten iron.
After saving someone, Eric didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that no one would notice it, but in the days that followed, he noticed that his co-workers were looking at him differently.
Eric is Magneto after all, and after sensing a potential crisis, he hurriedly returns home and plans to leave Poland with his wife Magda and young daughter Nina, but it is too late.
The police, who had been preparing for a long time, had already investigated Eric's ability, and they did not carry any metal objects, but were equipped with wooden bows and arrows to arrest him in the night.
What happened at the scene later, because there were no survivors, so Li Nan and Emma didn't know, but this information was enough for them to make up for it.
The night must have been chaotic, and the police shot Magda and Little Nina with wooden arrows, which is why Eric became furious and killed two groups of police officers and soldiers.
After understanding all this, Li Nan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Which steel mill did Eric work in before?" Who came to the police station to tell the truth? ”
The former information police officer answered Li Nan, but the latter question involved the privacy of the whistleblower, so it was rejected.
With Emma, a mutant with psychic abilities, it wasn't hard to get the answer to the question, and a few minutes later Li Nan and Emma left the police station and got a car and headed straight for the steel mill on the outskirts of the city.
Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Emma turned her head and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure Eric will go to the steel mill?" ”
"Definitely, I know him." Li Nan, who was driving the car, explained: "Eric has a stubborn personality and belongs to the kind of person who has revenge. The policemen who killed his wife and daughter directly are dead, but he still won't give up, then he will definitely go to the steel mill to continue to take revenge. ”
Emma bowed slightly, she admitted that all Li Nan's inferences were very reasonable, looking at the handsome face of the man next to her, she felt that she seemed to be in love with him even more.
As the car drove down the road leading to the outside of the city, Emma asked, "My dear Nan, you know my family, you know where I come from, you know everything about me, but I've never heard you say that." ”
"That's because you never asked me."
Li Nan looked at the beautiful and beautiful mutant girl beside her, she had been with her since she was eighteen years old, and now it has been more than twenty years, although her appearance has not changed, she is already a woman who is nearly forty years old.
For this woman who loves herself wholeheartedly, Li Nan said: "You should have guessed some, let me hear it." ”
"Okay." Emma said after a few seconds of thoughtful consent, "I saw some of the documents and medals you kept in the secret room of the study, so you should have participated in World War II, then you should have been born around 1920." ”
"Huh." Hearing Emma's reasonableness and evidence, Li Nan couldn't help but chuckle a few times and encouraged: "Keep talking." ”
"You are the chairman of the Warfire Group, the largest broadcast and television company and film production company in the United States, and you have countless other assets under your name. You're a great fighter and you're a mutant, but I can't tell how many abilities you have. ”
When Emma said this, Li Nan defended, "I can only control gravity, and I don't have any other abilities." ”
"Liar." Emma said coquettishly like a little girl: "Your appearance has not changed for decades, and you can make us women who have had intimate relationships with you as young as ever." You can conjure things out of thin air, and I've seen you talk to animals with Nina Shauna......"
When Emma said this, she suddenly remembered that the lovely little girl Nina had passed away a few days ago, and she couldn't help but be sad and silent.
"Alas!" Li Nan sighed heavily and pulled Emma over and let her lean on his shoulder.
In this somewhat sad atmosphere, the car finally arrived at the steel mill on the outskirts of the city, Li Nan got out of the car and took a few deep breaths, and then quietly walked towards the brightly lit factory with Emma.
The machines in the factory roared, and the workers who were working the night shift were busy, not knowing how much trouble they were in.
Li Nan, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't wait long, and a man with a stubble on his face and a blood-stained plaid shirt slowly walked in, he was of course Magneto Eric.
When Eric walked in, all the metal doors in the factory closed automatically, and the unusual phenomenon and noise alarmed the workers, who all looked at the door.
After seeing that the person who came was his former co-worker Eric, those workers who knew about it immediately showed fear, while some workers who didn't know what was going on had a puzzled look on their faces.
Eric came to them, glanced at the worker he had rescued from under the furnace, and the other workers who looked at him, and said in a calm tone, "Some of you told the police about what happened a few days ago, and you are curious to know who I am, what kind of abilities I have, and whether I will hurt you." ”
"Huh." Eric chuckled miserably, "You'll know everything, and you'll see." ”
The workers who went to the police station to report Eric, hearing his calm but implicit murderous words, fear rose from the bottom of their hearts, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously.
Eric continued, "I saved people with my powers, and no one thanked me, but my wife and daughter died because of it, so I want your wives and daughters to feel the pain of losing their loved ones and live through the grief, just like me." ”
After hearing these words, even those unwitting workers understood what Eric meant at this moment, and the worker who was rescued by him a few days ago hurriedly said: "Henrik, please, don't do this!" ”
Eric shook his head slightly, and said indifferently: "From today on, I won't be called Henrik, nor Eric, my name will be --- Magneto!" ”
Just as Eric in the past and Magneto in the past were about to raise his hands and unleash his abilities with all his might, a shout came from the darkness opposite him: "Eric, don't do it yet!" ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Magneto paused his movements and did not release his ability, but asked in a tone of surprise with a hint of anger, "Uncle, do you want to stop me from taking revenge?" ”
Li Nan, who came out of the shadows, knew that unless he killed Eric on the spot, he couldn't stop the other party from taking revenge, not to mention that he didn't think that the worker who would take revenge needed to be forgiven and forgiven, he just didn't want Eric to kill other innocent people indiscriminately.
Li Nan persuaded in a harmonious voice: "There is an ancient saying in my motherland, China, that 'there is a debtor who is wronged'. Eric, I beg you to spare the others and punish them for their own evil, okay? ”
