114 Future developments

"It takes a lot of time for human beings to study and research in order to inherit the knowledge of their predecessors and to get close to the essence of things, and we know about their existence from the very beginning. We can get out of the limitations of the past and have a completely new civilization, a civilization that is completely different from the past. ”

At this point, Eric's eyes conjured up the abandoned antenna that had been forgotten by humans in the mountains, its huge body pointing straight to the sky, no one knowing that it had been given a new mission after decades of neglect, and that more companions would join it in the future. They may be old and have different shapes, but they will become the pillars of the Magnetic Kingdom, carrying the will of the king and putting the entire Big 6 under control.

As soon as he thought of this, Eric was a little inexplicably excited, he waved his hand, and in the center of the dark hall, colorful balls of light lit up one after another, and they were scattered like stars on the floor depicting the territory of the sea and the dotted lines of latitude and longitude, like stars in the sky dotted the night sky.

At his and Auroro's feet, the points of light were particularly concentrated.

"This is John, that's Barbie, and the smaller one is Lorna......", Eric explained to Auroro one by one, each star here corresponds to a capable person, including students, Peter, professor, Logan, Jean, and the brightest one outside the 6 places, that is another magnetic master, the old brotherhood leader Magneto, on this map, all the people in the Greater New York area who have a normal magnetic field are marked one by one, as Eric's power continues to expand, one day he can be like a professor, Integrate power into the entire planet.

After listening to Eric's explanation, Auroro felt dizzy as if in a dream, and it may not be appropriate to say so, because even in the craziest dreams, she never expected that this man who was so close to her would unknowingly complete such a grand layout, and now she was shocked. Eric's figure was clearly in the shadows, but it seemed to her to sparkle like a golden cloud.

It took a long time for this irrational sentiment to recover.

Taking a glass of water from Eric, Auroro moistened her throat, she finally sobered up, and now she was a little worried, which was different from the professor's expectations, the new generation of academy leaders seemed to value the independence of mutants more than the integration into human society advocated in the past.

"It's not a contradiction." Eric replied, believing that the professor would understand his painstaking efforts.

No matter how it is integrated, in the end, the attitude of the government determines the safety of mutants. Just like decades ago, a single conscription undermined the professor's long-term efforts, and those mutants who died on the battlefield were treated the same as ordinary people, while the consequence was to virtually exterminate their fellow citizens. Human beings are like a fire, if they are too far away, they will feel cold, and if they are too close, they will be burned, and they will remain relatively alone. Standing up and standing a little farther away is the correct way to exist.

Eric can work with humans, and he can save people he doesn't know. He has penetrated his tentacles into the economic and political fields, and can even promote closer exchanges, but he will always stand on the side that is in line with his own interests.

If the higher echelons of humanity are willing to acknowledge reality, then they will have peace; Contrarily. There is also another means of curbing it.

In any case, mutants will never be cornered again, and that path is too difficult to leave to other races.

"Do you hate humans?" Auroro asked in a whisper.

"Nope". Eric walked over to the table, fiddling with the delicate calendula flowers, and at some point the sunlight returned to the hall. The glorious light shone in again, illuminating Eric's entire body. "They're just in my way, but I've never thought of ruining anyone, in my world, there are mutants, there are humans, there are all kinds of creatures, including criminals and heroes, it's no different from now, but no one can decide our fate on their own anymore. Humanity has spent 2,000 years in the ordinary, and now it is again in an extraordinary age, in which we are the masters. ”

As he said this, an indescribable aura was revealed, and Auroro was stunned for a moment before asking, "How can you be sure that it is our time?" ”

Eric didn't answer, but picked up the flower in his hand and sniffed it deeply, and there was a strange fragrance in the first flower.

"Look at this flower." The golden petals that wrap around the deep purple heart are bright and dazzling, and they glow in the sun. "Neither withers before we come, nor blooms after we are gone, but blooms only at this moment during its long flowering period, and who can say that it is not bloomed for us?"

Auroro froze, the golden flower growing larger and larger in her eyes until it filled her eyes, blurring her vision.

Outside the hall on the top floor, Mary Jane happily patted Wen Jiàn and stretched her tired waist, after two days of hard work, she finally completed the task assigned by Eric, and now she can take a break and talk to Pete - if he is not outside looking for Spider-Man to take pictures, or go outside, nearby 11o and 113 streets sit the majestic St. John's Cathedral, which was built in 1892 and is the largest in the United States and the third largest in the world. With up to 5o people visiting here every year, Mary Jane has been looking forward to it for a long time. Not far from it are the equally famous Riverside Church and the Mausoleum of General Grant. Further south, the famous Broadway, which was her ultimate goal, was now just one step closer.

Just as she was thinking about her thoughts, there was a knock on the door of the hall, and Mary Jane very naturally resumed her posture of hard work, and then glanced up casually, and the dejected appearance of Auroro fell into her eyes. She remained silent, and when the sound of the staggering footsteps was lost downstairs, the girl suddenly regained her dexterity and turned and slipped into Eric's private space.

"What did you do to her?" Mary Jane asked as soon as she entered.

"I think she was scared by me." Eric smiled helplessly.

"Did you show her something unsightly?" The girl thought suddenly, and the more strange her eyes became, for some reason, she was never as dignified in front of Eric as she was in front of others, and her presumptuous tone immediately attracted the displeasure of her employer.

"I think you should work at this time, or I'll have to think about whether I'm getting paid for what I deserve." Eric threatened with a straight face.

The girl was unmoved: "I'm done." You're just asking me to mark the nearest newspapers separately. ”

"Okay, then let me see your results." As soon as the secretary came in, Eric kicked her out, and now he had to take a good look at the latest news.

Although there is no special channel at present, Eric still does not let go of the effort to obtain more information, through the various disguises on the surface, often can see more and more hidden changes, these unnoticed changes are often the internal driving force to promote the development of things, and the study of these changes does not require special effort, only enough sensitivity and a little effort.

There was a team of psychologists who worked with the intelligence community to try to study whether ordinary people were better at predicting the world's best than experts with internal intelligence, and the results were unexpected, and a large number of facts proved that this is true under normal circumstances - such ordinary people were called "forecasters", and after summarizing the information that was publicly available on the market, these ordinary people were asked a number of questions of great importance to the intelligence community. Among them, the most accurate predictors predicted geopolitical events 3o% more accurately than those analysts with classified information. Of course, there are various factors in this, and the public information is increasingly fabricated and tampered with, but the significance of this is still worth paying attention to.

Now Eric was going to do such a thing, and soon he found the information he was looking for, and basically formed a general impression from the messy pile of messages.

The news was about Harry. Osborne's, this young man seems to have done what they agreed in advance, during this time he moved frequently, like a rising star in the business world, and kept throwing out millions of dollars in transactions, although most of them were rumors, and compared to Osborne's fame, these transactions were not enough, but compared to the lifelessness of some time ago, Osborne Industries at least returned to people's attention, and for a time the momentum was reinvigorated.

Seasoned business people are not fooled by these feints, they see Osborne's Achilles' heel, and even if they want to keep the company from going bankrupt, there are two prerequisites that cannot be bypassed. That's defense procurement and suspended metals.

The former may not be a big problem, at a time when the military is extremely well funded, the generals are waving money and buying things that look good, with Osborne's previous relationship and some hype, it is not difficult to win an order that is not small or large, while the latter is uncertain, so far, except for an ominous visit, the two sides have not had more contact, which is similar to Norman. The short but close relationship of Osborne's time stands in stark contrast. The only known mutant leader who can create suspended metal has not responded to this point.

In the eyes of those people, Osborne, the only one who failed to rise when the entire military sector rose may be the biggest dark horse in this wave of market, so with their continuous investment, Osborne's stock price finally stopped declining, and even climbed, which made some investors more optimistic about its prospects.

But what exactly does one of the parties think?

Eric snapped the report and chuckled softly.

"Yes, there was no response." Eric muttered to himself, then looked out the window.

It won't be long before it's time to close the net, and Osborne Industries will be in the hands of mutants from now on, laying the groundwork for the next step. (To be continued!)
