"Are you going to send me to the dissection table like Stryker?" A white-haired old man in a restraint suit sits in an all-plastic cell, leisurely reading a newspaper to pass the time.

This is the eleventh basement level of the Ambrera Laboratory, and as far as the eye can see, it is a fully enclosed circular space almost the size of an entire football field. It was originally built to conduct small-scale biome experiments, but due to funding and project issues, it was temporarily shelved and converted by Sean into a temporary prison for Magneto.

"The mutant gene pool at the dam base is all in my hands, what else do you want." The young man chuckled, in fact, he wanted to pull Magneto to his side more than to cooperate with the professor.

The bald old man who leads the mutant academy has too many moral shackles, and even after glimpsing the future of mutants, he is still unwilling to simply let go of his hands and feet, but Magneto is completely different, and can sacrifice most people in order to achieve his goals, even the demon girl Raven, who has been loyal to her for many years, has been tragically abandoned several times.

In the hearts of the leaders of the Brotherhood, the future of mutants is crucial, and the rest of the details are not worth mentioning, this is the goal of Magneto for half of his life, the meaning of the first half of his life is to take revenge, killing Sebastian Shaw with his own hands, and the hatred and anger of his childhood have never diminished in his heart.

That's why during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he ignored Charles's obstruction and pierced Sebastian Shaw's head with a Nazi coin, fulfilling his long-sought wish for revenge. However, the story does not end there, Eric Lansel, who hates the Nazis and evil scientists, inherits Shaw's will from another angle.

"You made a deal with Charles?" Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Magneto asked.

The appearance of this young man disrupted all his plans, originally planned to integrate the forces within the mutants, and then hide and hibernate, accumulate strength, and quietly wait for the time to lead his compatriots to rise, for which he has prepared a comprehensive plan, and even intends to run an independent kingdom belonging to mutants like Charles.

Sean nodded, he and the professor maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding with each other, although in terms of Magneto's ability, it was indeed a big trouble, but if they killed each other, it would undoubtedly cause chaos within the mutants, and it would also cause the vigilance and hatred of Charles and the Brotherhood, so simply put each other in prison as in the original timeline.

"A cell made of plastic is not enough, I am injected with suppressants on time every once in a while, and I have never met a young man like you."

Magneto couldn't help but be a little discouraged, buried in a top-secret area 130 feet underground, coupled with a sturdy cell made of all-plastic, and an AI-controlled access elevator, even if an outsider rescued him, the chances of escape were extremely slim.

"You're a well-known powerhouse among mutants, controlling magnetism and manipulating metal, and if you're not careful, I'll be the one with the headache."

Sean said lightly, if Magneto's power breaks through and is enough to control the geocentric magnetism, then it will be easy to escape from this prison. What's more, there is also a changeable demon girl Raven who is escaping outside, probably thinking about how to save the leader of the Brotherhood from here.

"Actually, I'm curious about how you used to convince the stubborn Charles, according to his previous temperament, he would never cooperate with someone like you."

Through a layer of plastic, Magneto looked at Sean, the strength of the other party was undoubted, and in the head-on collision without any fancy fancy, he actually lost to a fledgling young man. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the proud Brotherhood leader, who had rarely faced a real opponent who could match him, except for a few defeats at the hands of Charles on the one hand.

"I'm just revealing the truth to him, that's all." Sean said softly.

He looked at the gray-haired old man, his eyes flickering slightly, "I learned from the members of the Brotherhood about your plans for the future of mutants, and honestly, would you be interested in working with me?" ”

The young man was like the devil in Faust at this time, and behind his sincere expression, there was a cold indifference. Since you want to hold the mutant in your hand, of course, you have to use it wisely.

"I'm not going to bow down to you." Magneto shook his head and refused without thinking, "After escaping from the concentration camp, I vowed never to live as humble as before. ”

"I can be defeated, I can be killed - but I will never bow down to anyone!"

The old man's words were loud, and his eyebrows were full of pride, even if he was reduced to a prisoner, he was as majestic as a king at this time.

Sean laughed "heh", he didn't expect to make Magneto willing to be his subordinate, for people who are proud by nature, bowing their heads and accepting defeat is more uncomfortable than losing their lives. It's like Tony would rather die of palladium poisoning than take off that steel armor and be an ordinary ordinary person.

"I mean equal partnerships." The young man maintained a good patience and was not annoyed by this, "In the future blueprint I designed, mutants have a place, and the professor is responsible for establishing a positive image, maintaining cooperation with the government, and promoting public opinion relations with humanity, but there must be someone who shows his strength and acts as the vanguard of mutants with a tough attitude." ”

"I thought I was sentenced to life in prison and was going to stay in this place forever." Magneto laughed as a way to hide his inner turmoil.

After all, who doesn't yearn for freedom, especially for people with grand ambitions and goals in their hearts, and the invisible torture of being trapped in a small house, letting time pass out of thin air, slowly waiting for death to come, is simply maddening.

Sean observed the change in the old man's expression, and secretly knew in his heart that of course he would not lock Magneto here forever, this cell was just a temporary shelter for the other party.

"I can provide mutants with a land of freedom, a distant continent of war, disease, poverty and hardship, warlords, and political instability."

The young man's deep eyes stared at the old man, and his calm tone seemed to contain great power, which made people's hearts shake, "You can choose to bring them war, or peace." ”

The huge underground space suddenly fell silent, Magneto's eyelids drooped, and after thinking for a moment, he asked aloud, "What do you need me to give?" There is a Jewish proverb, 'What you get for nothing, only poverty', and there is no such thing as a free lunch, tell me what the price is, and then I can decide if it's worth the risk." ”

"Mutants are just an advance army, a distant continent plagued by disease and poverty, which will attract the attention of the whole world in the future. At that time, mutants can officially enter the world stage, whether it is to build a beautiful homeland or establish a state power, no one will stop you. ”

Sean was like a prophet, his voice mysterious, "I need a force to conquer some hidden kingdom for me." ”

Looking at the silent Magneto, the young man smiled slightly, turned and left, anyway, there was still a long time, enough for the leader of the Brotherhood to think clearly.

In the empty and quiet underground space, Magneto, dressed in a restraint suit, slowly sat back down, he picked up the newspaper, but he didn't bother to read any of the reports on it.
