Chapter 171: Liberty Island Incident Follow-up
With the Statue of Liberty in New York gone, the news instantly spread around the world, replacing the headlines prepared by all the news media the next day.
"It's over," a new politician in New York City couldn't help but cry as he looked at the Statue of Liberty, which had been shattered into countless pieces. Things are going to be like this, no matter how much they try to find a reason, they can't prevaricate through this hurdle. It seems that the current position is the end of their career, and many people no longer expect to go further, and the only thing they can hope for now is to step down with dignity.
However, this request may also be extravagant, I don't see that the crowd of demonstrators because of this incident has spread all over the country, and New York, where they are located, is the hardest hit area. Especially now that the dignitaries and major media of various countries have not left New York, their faces are really humiliating and thrown to the whole world.
"It's over," said the heads of the major intelligence agencies and violent agencies. They are also to blame for such a big thing. I didn't see it, even the one-eyed director who usually collapsed in front of him and didn't change his color now has no old spirit.
"Director, this is a report on the damage caused by this Liberty Island incident," Hill said in a deep voice, placing a report on the One-Eyed Director's desk.
The one-eyed director flipped through the report with a gloomy face, resisted the urge to tear the report apart, raised his head and asked Hill a question that is now being asked by the violent agencies of the United States: "Has Magneto's bastard been caught now?" ”
"I'm sorry, we're working on it," Hill's answer is also the standard answer of the major violent agencies in the United States, and it was in this office that the One-Eyed Director also coped with the questions above.
"We must catch him in the shortest possible time, we need an explanation, and the people need an explanation, do you understand?" The one-eyed director said coldly.
"Yes," Ciel, as the one-eyed adjutant of the city, was well aware of the pressure he was facing, so he answered and went out to continue urging S.H.I.E.L.D. agents everywhere to intensify their searches.
"Shit! I thought that after Anthony's bastard left New York, New York would be able to stop for a while, but I didn't expect that one bastard would leave, and another big bastard would take over!
Dare to blow up the Statue of Liberty, the symbol of the entire country! Magneto, I want to run after doing such a big thing. You won't be able to run away, because there's no place for you in the whole world! The one-eyed director gritted his teeth in resentment.
"It's over," said Magneto, who had been preparing for so long and had invested so much money in an operation that would end in this way. That is, his heart is different from ordinary people, otherwise ordinary people would have collapsed a long time ago, and I didn't see that there are still many members of the Brotherhood who are on the run.
In fact, if it was according to Magneto's previous idea, even if their operation failed this time, at most, they would just throw out a few substitutes for the dead and let them go to jail for a few days, and then let the X-Men get a medical parole for them. At most, the freedom is restricted for a considerable period of time, but in some ways it can continue to be handled for the cause of mutants.
But what he never expected was that this time time would actually develop in a direction he didn't expect. Not to mention the failure of the operation, the entire Statue of Liberty was actually blown up, which is not something that one or two ghosts can settle for the dead, only a person of weight like him can give an explanation to the people by going to prison in person.
Therefore, after this incident ended, he and his senior cadres did not go anywhere, and directly lived in Professor X's Xavier School for Geniuses. This is one of the reasons why the major intelligence agencies have not yet found them.
The reason for doing this is also the deep meaning of Magneto. His plan was simple, wait for the height of popular anger and the major intelligence agencies to be powerless, and then let Professor X and them directly take him and several key cadres of the Brotherhood to prison.
In this way, most of the Brotherhood will be safe, and the X-Men who have worked hard to catch them will also get the greatest benefit. And he and those senior cadres, for the sake of the X-Men who arrested him, will not die, but it is inevitable that they will suffer a little guilt after a meal of flesh and skin.
"Eric, you're in a bad situation this time," Professor X said in a deep voice as he looked at his old rival who was playing chess with him.
"Of course I know," Magneto said with a blank face, "or I wouldn't be living here." ”
"Think about it," Professor X moved, and the pawn continued, "You know that if you go in this time, it won't be so easy to figure it out." ”
"It's such a big thing, do you think it's okay if I don't go in?" Magneto ate one of the opponent's chess pieces and said lightly.
Professor X was slightly silent, then moved a step and said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't destroy the Statue of Liberty, even I don't have any room to come to this point." ”
With a squeak, the metal chess pieces began to shake, and it took a long time before they stopped, and Magneto moved another step and said lightly: "If I say that the Statue of Liberty was not destroyed by me, do you believe it?" ”
"Faith," Professor X said, "but it's useless for me alone. ”
"So I didn't have a choice," Magneto's face changed after speaking, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know who did it!" Dare me Magneto take the blame! I'll make him regret coming into this world! ”
"You'd better think about how to come out first," Professor X took one of the opponent's chess pieces again, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Is the antidote real?" ”
"Didn't you see them all?" Magneto said lightly: "And I believe that if you want to check, you can definitely find it." ”
“…… I'll check it out. ”
Compared to the rest of the people who were anxious about the incident, Anthony was the only winner. Not only the blood samples and corpses of mutants and superheroes that Dr. Fashion collected, but also the kryptonite that Magneto and his family left behind when the entire Statue of Liberty was blasted.
You must know that kryptonite, as the only nemesis of Superman, is a very rare thing in this world, and many people can't ask for it. I didn't see that it was so difficult for Batman and Magneto to get a piece, let alone Anthony, who was still rising young.
And most importantly, Anthony made Magneto carry a big black cauldron. The Statue of Liberty collapsed, and no matter how powerful Magneto was, he had to go to prison to sober up.
After all, he Magneto is not alone, and he is not afraid to wear shoes with bare feet. There is a mutant brotherhood behind him, and if he doesn't want to let his brother be strangled by violent groups across the country, it is wisest for him, the big brother, to go to prison.
The time on Liberty Island in New York is over, and Anthony's study in Kama Taj has officially come to an end.
"Ye, often come back and sit when you have time, you are also familiar with the coordinates here, and it is quite convenient to go back and forth." The Ancient One Master was quite satisfied with the man in front of him, and his talent and character were the best he had ever seen, so he didn't forget to let him come back and sit on the day he left.
"Well, I will," Ye Gucheng still had that paralyzed expression, but including Anthony, he could see that he had taken this to heart.
"Mr. Anthony," the ancient one turned his attention to Anthony again, "although the smell of blood on your body is strong, I can see that you are a good person. ”
Anthony almost choked to death on a cigar because he was issued a good guy card by the ancient one, what are you kidding? Good? For I am afraid that more people will die than in your village. Ancient One, did you come here to joke with me?
It seemed that the Ancient One Master also saw the disdain in Anthony's eyes, so he didn't need to chuckle a few times and explained: "A person who knows how to cherish his family and the people around him cannot be regarded as a complete bad person in any way. Isn't it? ”
“…… What exactly are you trying to say? Anthony was silent for a moment, impatient.
"Don't let the darkness get lost in your heart, when you are confused, think about the people and things you care about." The Ancient One Master had some pointers.
Anthony's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "You don't need to say this!" ”
"Goodbye, then, I'm here to wish you a happy journey."
After saying goodbye to the ancient one and the others, Anthony returned to the hotel where he was staying. After arranging for the family to rest, Anthony was silent in the room alone.
Stretching out his hand, the blood order appeared in his hand, looking at the blood-red color, Anthony muttered, "You should be coming out soon...... I'm not going to lose! ”
