Section 143 Three Families Become One (II)
The problem is, it's not necessarily a good thing for Tom and the Watchmen. Don't forget, how Tom, one of the two major leaders of mutants, and Watchmen, one of the two major mutant organizations, got their names by stepping on Professor X and the X-Men.
Now, Magneto wants Professor X and his X-Men to return to the Matchmaker and settle in Hell's Kitchen, a mutant paradise recognized by mutants around the world. So, can Tom and Watchmen, one of the two leaders of mutants and one of the two major organizations, still be able to keep their titles?
Therefore, when Tom came in before, the White Queen and Long Legs looked weird. Inviting Uncle Wolf to test the medicine will have to wait for Tom to come back and discuss it. After all, Uncle Wolf is also a member of the X-Men.
"Where is Wolverine Logan now?" Tom groaned for a moment, then asked Magneto and the others.
The relationship and connection with the X-Men is undoubtedly closer to Magneto and his brotherhood. Don't look at these two families who were once incompatible, but they can't stand the fact that there are Professor X's good friend Magneto, and the heroine of the love triangle, the Demon Girl.
The White Queen glanced at Magneto, then said to Tom, "Logan just returned to England a few days ago. β
"That's right." Tom nodded expectedly, after all, Uncle Wolf is an old scumbag: "Okay, I agree to Magneto's Chief's proposal to invite Professor X and his X-Men to settle in Hell's Kitchen." β
After much thought, Tom finally decided to agree to Magneto's decision and invite Professor X and his X-Men to return to the matchmaker. The main reasons are as follows:
First, it is to consider the relationship with the brotherhood. If Tom is adamantly opposed to Professor X's return to the matchmaker, and Magneto insists on Professor X's return, it will undoubtedly greatly affect the relationship between the Brotherhood and the Warden.
After all, both the mutants and Hell's Kitchen are supported by the Brotherhood and the Warden. And judging from the previous series of things, the cooperation between the two is very good.
Because just one Professor X and X-Men have affected the current good situation for mutants, causing the Brotherhood and the Warden Brothers to kill each other, Tom doesn't think it's a wise move. You know, the real troubled times are coming soon. At times like these, Tom certainly prefers to unite the mutants.
Second, from his own situation, Tom actually doesn't think that Professor X and his X-Men can pose a threat to himself and his watchmen.
Today, Tom, who has nine pearls of the sea, is completely unafraid of Professor X's psychic abilities. Even from a face-to-face distance, before Professor X invaded Tom's brain, Tom was sure to perceive Professor X's mental power and use the defense formed by Dinghaizhu to keep Professor X out.
As for the watchmen, that's even less to say. There are more than a thousand people, and there are dozens of Blue Ring holders, and there are fewer than 100 X-Men in total, including children.
This is also the reason why Tom dared to boast before and dared to say that Professor X and his X-Men were mediocre. Because, today's Tom and Watchmen have indeed far surpassed Professor X and X-Men.
In the end, Tom doesn't give himself a bad impression of being jealous and jealous as he is among the mutants. After all, he is a man who intends to break new ground and become a king. If you don't have a tolerant mind at all, how can you gain the allegiance of others?
To Tom's surprise, after he nodded in agreement, Magneto stared at him deeply for a few minutes. After a long time, after seeing that Tom's expression did not seem to be fake, he nodded in appreciation:
"Yes, very good, and live up to the fancy that Charles and I have for you."
"What do you mean?"
As soon as Magneto said this, not only Tom himself was stunned, but also the White Queen, Long Legs and others, who had finally relaxed a little because they learned of Tom's decision, were also stunned.
"Because, before we asked you this difficult question, we had actually called and communicated with Charles. In order not to make Tom and the other Watchmen brothers and sisters think too much, Professor X has already expressed his willingness to bring his X-Men to join the Watchmen. β
Tom's answer was the Witch who strode in from outside the room.
Magneto also nodded approvingly: "We also know that our request is a bit difficult, so we called Charles in advance to discuss it." You know, he's far wiser than Raven and me. β
"That's right..."
Tom nodded abruptly, he had wondered how Magneto could suddenly make such an impersonal request. After all, with Tom's knowledge of Magneto, he may be a reckless and ruthless person, but he is definitely not a brainless person.
With Magneto's mind, it was impossible for him not to be aware of the gap between the Warden and the Brotherhood that this would most likely cause. It turned out that he had already communicated with Professor X in advance.
"However, since we have already communicated, why don't you say it directly, but it still seems to test me?"
"Professor X and the X-Men are willing to join us in the Watchmen, how is thisβhow is this possible?"
Just when Tom still had a little doubt in his heart, Long Legs and the others, but the fact that Professor ** and his X-Men were willing to merge into the Watchmen were shocked.
After all, Professor X and his X-Men may have sat on the side of humans in the past, and may have done a lot of things that weren't so beneficial to mutants. But they are the two leaders of the mutants and one of the two major organizations.
Giving up his former honor and status, and joining the Watchmen with all the people and the organization, is indeed a very big sacrifice for Professor X.
Magneto shook his head at the excited long legs, signaling that she didn't have to make such a fuss. Then, looking at Tom, he said with emotion, "I won't hide it from you, actually, I also had the idea of merging the Brotherhood into your watcher. β
"Why?"
This time, not only the long legs and the white queen were shocked and speechless. Even Tom, who is a traverser, is very surprised.
Professor X's approach, Tom can still understand. After all, Professor X is a man known for his intelligence and gentleness, and he and his X-Men have also lost their influence due to their distance from the matchmaker in the past few years.
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand that Professor X chose to give up his own interests and the X-Men's interests in favor of contributing to the mutant race.
But this thing is really puzzling when it comes to Magneto.
Who is Magneto? He was a man of great confidence and arrogance. If he was willing to give up his identity as the leading big brother and become someone else's little brother instead, the X-Men in his previous life would not have filmed so many films.
Such a Magneto, after working with Professor X for the first time, he will not be separated from Professor X at all. The Brotherhood and the X-Men will not have been antagonistic or even cannibalistic for so many years.
So, as soon as I heard that Magneto wanted to merge his brotherhood into the Warden. Tom's first thought was that Wan planned to use this to annex the Warden, just like the Hellfire Club that single-handedly annexed the White Queen before.
However, looking closely at Magneto's expression and tone, Tom felt that Magneto was not joking. This made Tom very puzzling.
"I didn't lie to you, really..." Magneto's bad thing is a circle of suspicious eyes from everyone, and these eyes even include his own people like the White Queen and the Demon Shape:
"I also know what an incredible thing this seems to you. To be honest, if it had been a few years ago, I wouldn't have made such a decision. But unlike my brothers, mutant brothers, times have changed.
In my time with Charles, all I had to think about was us mutants, humans, and Charles and his X-Men. But what about today? First there are superheroes and supercriminals everywhere, then Atlanteans and Hydra. Now, another mysterious stranger has escaped. Not to mention, that Supreme Mage who I can't afford to fight at all.
To be honest, I don't know anything about these unknown forces and people, let alone how to deal with them. Tom, by contrast, is better than me, no, better than me and Charles combined.
You seem to know all these unknown forces and people, and you know very well how to deal with them. Compared to you, I can say that it is completely outdated. β
"Magneto Chief, you're exaggerating."
At this point, Tom understood a little. Listening to Magneto's words, he was obviously beaten by society. So, a little disheartened.
Magneto shook his head, reached out to stop Tom's next words, and continued, "That's the case, it's not an exaggeration at all. Take this attack on the Hydra base as an example, our Brotherhood is larger than the Wardens, and there should be more capable people than the Wardens as usual.
The result? Our brotherhood lost more than forty brothers in this battle. The watchmen, except for a few who were slightly or seriously injured, were not harmed. What does this mean? It shows that Tom, you're better than me at dealing with new things. You're also better than me when it comes to how to improve the strength of your fellow mutants. β
"About this..."
Tom thinks Magneto is saying that he is selfish and refuses to share the Blue Ring with the Brotherhood members. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Magneto interrupted Tom's words again.
"No need to explain, I didn't blame you, Tom.
Oh, and those mysterious rings that emit a blue glow are no longer a secret among our brotherhood. However, I want to make it clear that no one in our Brotherhood resents you for this. That's your stuff, it's your own business whether you take it out or not, and no one can question you because of that.
In life, who can not have a little selfishness? Didn't Magneto and I be reluctant to teach fellow mutants other than our own? What's more, didn't you also share those mysterious rings with your fellow citizens among the Watchmen? From this point of view, you are not selfish.
I just want to use this to express one of my own opinions, which is that in this turbulent era, we mutants really need to unite and speak with only one voice.
And this voice can only be made by you, Tom. After all, Charles and I are too old to keep up with the times. We mutants need a great leader who understands this era and leads us mutants to become strong in this era. β
