170 Contradictions of the Brotherhood
"Where are you going?" In the Brotherhood's secret base, Magneto was seen by Magneto when the Demon Girl was leaving with two of his men, and the Silver Old Man was pondering his delicate design, when he suddenly saw the three of them walking out and asked casually.
"Academy." Raven fiddled with the length of her shawl and replied briefly, she had maintained her human appearance lately, and looked young and beautiful.
"I don't remember you forgiving Charles." Magneto looked at her for a moment and said.
"It's over now." Raven replied.
Since the whole thing is just a game set up by Eric, and the professor has already withdrawn from the stage, there is no point in continuing to worry about it, and keeping the academy stable can give Magneto more help.
However, the old Magneto doesn't see it that way, and now his own people are being sucked away one by one like encountering a magnet, and he has some bad feelings in his heart.
Even if he deliberately chooses another as his successor, this qiē change is too fast, the king of the human race will have a fierce dispute with his son for the power in his hands, and mutants are inevitably vulgar, not to mention that there is a big difference between the two Eric in the most critical attitude towards humans.
"What about the toad and the saber-toothed tiger?" Magneto secretly made up his mind, if the demon girl dared to find an excuse to prevaricate herself, he would immediately detain them, one of these two people was obscene in appearance, and the other was confused, it would not be a problem without them, the important thing was that he had to show the proper attitude of the leader, and he couldn't just let people fool him.
"Eric needs their help." Raven didn't hide it at all, she pointed to some Wen Jiàn on the table, Magneto subconsciously looked over, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
It was Osborne Industries' share transfer agreement - the same one that Jean had transferred, and it had been agreed that he would help Eric out of danger once in return, but that time, the invincible Magneto was not able to succeed due to the professor's obstruction. Now the money is in hand. The obligation was not fulfilled, and even Magneto was inevitably a little embarrassed to mention it.
So he snorted, and could only pretend that he didn't see the Demon Walker's assertions.
"I'm Eric, and there will always be times when he regrets staying with humans." He said stupidly, there was no way at all.
Originally, his idea was to use the human conspiracy to cornered Eric, and then obediently enter the Brotherhood as his successor with his own help, but after everyone calculated with each other, everyone was tricked by the young man.
For now, his hopes are placed on another design, and he believes that this grand idea will greatly increase his power.
"You're so optimistic about it?" Seeing his preoccupied look, Raven was a little curious.
"I'm old. Something must be left for the world. There was a thick sourness in the old man's tone. Now that everyone knows about the new Magneto, I've become a thing of the past, and that's the only hope I have. ”
His tone made the Shapeling laugh.
"Your place in the eyes of your fellow citizens is your achievement." Raven was half refuting, half comforting. "Don't say that again, it's just bad for your image. Instead of worrying about your status in the future, it's better to worry about less us, can you control it here? ”
Magneto knew what she meant, but he didn't think so.
"What are you worried about? This is an organization that I have single-handedly pulled up, if anyone is not willing to go with me. So I asked him to go with God. At this moment, he is still so domineering.
Raven shook her head, ignored him, and walked away with the toad and the saber-toothed tiger head without looking back.
Magneto was now the only one left in the Brotherhood's chamber, and he was busy for a while before stopping to rest. I opened a small drawer with a photograph in it.
It was a photo from 1962, and since I accidentally turned it over some time ago, I have often been holding it in my owner's hand and admiring it recently.
The professor at that time was still young. The top of the head was a beautiful brown head, not as bare as it is now, and the person was still able to walk normally. It's not a disability to sit in a chair.
Next to him was the beast Hank, a young man who couldn't see what he was looking like at all.
They were clasping each other's shoulders and smiling brightly.
Of all of them, the Witch was the only one who hadn't changed, she was still so beautiful, and the arrival of that person had rejuvenated her, just like in the photo.
She stood in the middle of the crowd, holding the elder brother Charles in one hand and another young man in the other.
Gaze shifted, Magneto held his breath, and as he got older, it became more and more difficult for him to face his past self.
Golden, gray-blue eyes, resolute and stubborn looks...... Exactly the same as that person.
Sometimes he had the illusion that maybe the other Eric wasn't some otherworldly comer, but a young Magneto who had crossed time to find himself in modern times.
"Damn it!" The moment his gaze moved to the man, Magneto hurriedly dropped the photograph as if he had been burned, threw it into a drawer and locked it in the dark, and then leaned limply in his chair in a heartbeat.
It was as if youth was an intense light that burned his eyes deeply.
"If only I could go back in time......," he muttered, closing his eyes tightly.
There are many emergency exits to the base, but there is only one way to go on a daily basis, and this long and winding road is the only right way not to touch the alarm without authorization.
As Raven and her two companions passed the road, a grim-faced man was waiting there, known as the Master of Illusions, one of the patriarchs of the Brotherhood, who was the most radical faction even in the fiercely stylistic Brotherhood, adept at manipulating illusions to make others perceive what was not present in the senses.
At this moment, the illusion master was coldly holding his chest and staring at her step by step.
Raven's seniority is longer than his, and with her status, she is not afraid of what he will do, although she saw an acquaintance, she did not stop, but walked straight in front of him with someone.
"Have you ever heard the story of the sun and the north wind?" The moment it approached, a deep male voice sounded.
Raven was dismissive, she was now completely disdainful of these violent saboteurs in their heads.
"I know what you're trying to say, I've heard Eric say it many times." Lazily replied, Raven's footsteps did not stop.
"Which Eric! Is it our greatest leader, or is it the new Magneto out there? Passing by, the Master of Illusions questioned in the back.
Raven smiled, and rarely looked back for him.
"Is there a difference for you?" She teased. "Whichever one. You can only look up. ”
Watching the woman writhe her slender body and gradually walk away, the illusion master was so angry that his chest rose and fell again and again, and he cursed desperately in his heart, but there was no sound.
The leader's hall was not too far from here, and it might not be a good thing if he heard it too loudly.
As for the Shapeshifter, the Brotherhood knows that Magneto has a complicated relationship with her, and now that another Magneto is involved, offending her may not please the leader.
It wasn't until the men he sent slipped back from outside that the Master of Illusions led the man back to his bedroom.
"Women are like rabbits, jumping around and jumping into the crotch of other people's pants. What a disgrace to the organization! Closing the door, he flipped over the table, threw some clutter on the floor and cursed in a low voice, before remembering the task he had assigned to his men: "Is there any news from the person I asked you to find?" ”
The subordinate hurriedly reported: "There is already a clue, that kid appeared in the circus." ”
Clapping his palms vigorously, the Master of Illusions commanded, "Go on!" Until you find that person, take it into your hands, and bring it to me! Now the people in the academy are rampant, if we remain silent. People will forget that the Brotherhood is the representative of mutants. ”
The clever men were ordered to leave, but the Master of Illusions' anger was still not exhausted, and with a full of anger and displeasure, he slammed the wall hard. Then he opened the window to breathe, and in the cold sea breeze, he indifferently watched as the passenger ship that Raven was riding was heading towards the big 6.
At this moment, Eric did not know that his helper had caused conflicts within the Brotherhood, and he had just sent Jean back to the academy. There are too many new students there, and the number of tutors is greatly insufficient, and Jean knows this. On the grounds that he missed Auroro, he offered to go back.
Delivering the piano to the academy, Eric returns to Manhattan alone.
Today he was going to hear Secretary Mary Jane report on Osborne's recent situation.
It should be said that Harry's business skills are quite good, although most of them follow his father Norman's charter, but it also takes a lot of effort. The profit has passed the expenditure, the workers are calm, basically everything is fine, except for the lack of a sum of money in the account.
Mary Jane was a little embarrassed when she reported the incident, after all, she and Harry were still boyfriend and girlfriend in name.
The money was not used for an inappropriate purpose, but to sponsor a scientist's research. After carving up the new energy market with Stark Industries, Harry is still unwilling to occupy a secondary position in the promising field.
Eric understood his state of mind, so he didn't say much.
"As long as it doesn't affect normal operations and dividends, there's no need to interfere – I don't want us to end up as nervous as Norman and the original board." He commanded the secretary, and Mary Jane had a complicated expression.
"Sir," Mary Jane asked cautiously. "Have you ever thought about clash with Harry one day?"
"It's hard for two men to work together without conflict." Eric didn't really care about that.
"Then will you hurt Harry, who has lost his father...... Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Halfway through speaking, the secretary remembered her identity.
She hesitated for a moment, not finishing, but Eric was not annoyed by her attitude, but rather admired her.
"No, Mary Jane." He comforted the secretary. "I think that's what makes you attractive. To be honest, there is a frivolous side to your personality that damages your innocence, but through the frivolous and vain side, I can see your goodness. ”
Although the employer's words were somewhat derogatory, his compliment made Mary Jane feel flattered from the bottom of her heart.
Her eyes flowed, her footsteps moved slowly, and her body got closer and closer to Eric, until a mature manly breath entered her nostrils.
"Keep your kindness alive."
As if sensing something, Eric gave her one last word of approval, then patted her on the shoulder and hurried away. (To be continued!)
