Chapter 90: Votes Against It
Walking through the long alleyways and following in the footsteps of the Demonic Woman, Mariko finally meets the legendary mutant of great fame, Eric Lanschel, known as Magneto. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The silver hair showed the age of the old man, and the emaciated body was decorated with a wide monk, except for the straight spine and sharp eyes, it was difficult to find that this was a dangerous person who had been wanted by hundreds of countries around the world.
"Welcome, brave girl," said the sharp-eyed Mariko, who gently closed the book in her hand, and could even see the title of the book, "On Liberty", a 19th-century book written by the English philosopher J.S. Mill.
Noticing the girl's eyes, apparently not yet detached from the artistic conception in the book, Magneto couldn't help but raise the book in his hand and asked, "Have you read this book?" ”
Receiving an elite education since childhood, Mariko is by no means simply a pompous rich second generation. Realizing that it was possible to gain Magneto's favor through this, the wise woman nodded without hesitation: "Yes!" ”
"It's rare..."There are only martial artists around him, and it is difficult for Eric to discuss his ideals with a group of people around him who are full of muscles, and sighs slightly: "A good environment is more cultivated, so what is your definition of freedom?" ”
Growing up in a harsh environment, Mariko has never had a space of her own, despite her noble status. After thinking about it, I still expressed my understanding of freedom in my heart: "Survival, freedom, ideals!" ”
"Hahaha... Good survival and freedom," he has been fighting for the survival of mutants all his life, and suddenly heard a 20-year-old girl who can tell her thoughts about decades of summary, Eric Lancel suddenly felt better, motioned to the other party to sit down at will, and said: "Yes, tell me about survival, freedom and ideals, haha." ”
"To survive, as the name suggests, is to live. It is alive to linger, and it is also alive to be chic and casual. ”
"Freedom satisfies the need to survive, and there is no longer a precarious struggle for survival. Freedom is not only the freedom of the body, but also the freedom of the mind......"
"Good word, freedom of mind," admired Mariko's words, is Magneto free? Before the battle at the Statue of Liberty in New York, Magneto still travels freely to all corners of the world, collecting persecuted mutants and fighting against various forces for their rights.
But Eric. Lanschel was really tired, and the mental exhaustion was far from being as easy to recover from as the body. Eric's childhood experience has brought a heavy shadow, and he no longer believes that freedom depends on the sympathy and pity of others, and advocates relying on his own strength to create a living space for the mutant race.
After so many years of struggle, his own ideas were not recognized by his only old friend, and there were all kinds of battles in the open and in the dark, which really made Magneto physically and mentally exhausted.
"Listen to you in the future, I am still fighting for my freedom," looking at the truth, who was sitting upright on an old-fashioned chair that was quite old for quite a few years, like a lily, really made Magneto very emotional, and only that kind of family with a deep background can teach such an extraordinary character, and on his side, hehe.
"I really want to hear you talk about the definition of ideals," slowly stood up, with a tall posture and a proud posture, and a fierce momentum suddenly radiated to the surroundings: "But I'm really worried that listening to your explanation will hit my persistence all along, what if I don't have freedom, I'm still me, with a clear conscience!" ”
Trying hard to maintain an indifferent posture, Mariko's heart still can't hide the endless shock.
Inadvertently picked up Max who had lost his energy. Dillon, only to find out that it was the mutant who caused the endless carnage in Times Square. With his own profound cultivation and the hidden strength of Shida in New York behind him, he helped the electric light people recover. At that moment, the scene of lightning was still not enough for Magneto's faint momentum, which showed the strength of this leader of the mutant brotherhood.
"Tell me, what's the business?" Magneto, who slowly walked into Mariko's side, was obviously very satisfied with the other party's expression, although the other party was several rounds younger, but negotiation is negotiation, and he can use all means to gain the upper hand, which Magneto still understands.
Although she understood that there was no grudge between the two sides, and that Shicai's performance had obviously won Magneto's favor, at this moment, after all, she was facing a powerful existence standing on the opposite side of the entire ordinary human race, and Mariko still felt a huge pressure: "I hope you can kill someone for us." ”
"High-ranking government officials? Business celebrities? Or the head of an armed force of one side? Steadily returning to his position, a figure who can tie up the huge Shida Industries, can obviously arouse Magneto's interest, but the negotiation still has to be mastered: "The form of mutants is not very good now. ”
"Even if it's a brotherhood, it doesn't want to cause big trouble before the World Congress," shaking his head, in the face of outsiders, Eric naturally wouldn't say what he really thought in his heart, refusing, just to raise the stakes.
"500 million US dollars," it is necessary to place many mutant combat forces that have been gathered, and there is naturally a huge gap in the funds required, and he got up and took out a note, a secret account number and password, accompanied by a photo of a young Chinese: "Su Zheng, a special security consultant of Osborne Industries, has defeated the electric light people, and his strength is very strong." ”
He also tried to form a huge business group to finance and launder money, but he was dragged down by his own notoriety. The source of funding for the Mutant Brotherhood at the moment is only the black industry, but it is also closely monitored by various countries.
"The Brotherhood is not a killer organization, and it does not accept hiring." Although the tone is light, the meaning of rejection is clearly expressed.
For several days, Osborne Industries has been the headline of Internet searches, whether it is to eliminate pollution and convert energy, as well as to provide the most reliable energy for the aerospace industry, the artificial sun, will become a catalyst to change the entire human society, and the display of longevity elixir, including Magneto, the real pyramid top people pay attention, who does not value their own lives, who do not want to have a longer life, for Osborne to show the new medicine, it is even more attractive to Eric. Lanchel coveted it, but he didn't dare to make the slightest tough move.
"Shida is in the island country and has a strong influence," in order to show sincerity, Shida has already transferred most of the group's funds to Osborne's account, and raising $500 million at this moment is the limit, but money can't impress Magneto's determination, it doesn't mean that Mariko can't come up with more moving chips, cherry-like lips open and close slightly, and the words he said made Magneto instantly moved.
"What about the dissenting votes?"
