Chapter 1090: The Father and the Son (19)
"I don't need a psychiatrist." Magneto looked into Schiller's eyes and said very seriously: "You don't have to use excuses like 'I'm not here to see you', or 'I'm just asked by Charles to see you' to fulfill your duties as a psychiatrist." β
"What am I going to do to convince you that I'm not here to treat you, and that I don't intend to change your mind?" Schiller asked.
"Get out of here." Magneto replied,
"You mean, if I hadn't come to see you, there wouldn't be much to talk about between us?"
Schiller looked Magneto in the eye and said very sincerely, "I thought that there should be more topics among the few remaining peers in this world, or, even if you don't want to look back, we can talk about the future of mutants......"
"What do you want to talk about?" Magneto's fingertips are placed on the walls of the cup, and the tea leaves in the water spin up, forming several small swirls.
"Actually, we all know that the Brotherhood and the X-Men don't get along, you've been through too many wars, and even though you have a personal relationship with Charles, it's hard to influence other people's thoughts, and you're in such a problem right now, aren't you?"
"It's the mutants' own business." Magneto's face turned cold, but Schiller immediately spoke:
"Of course, I don't want to instruct you on anything, but the plan to change and move people to the Andromeda galaxy was made by me and Professor Charles, and it is my responsibility to pay attention to the implementation of the plan......"
"If you think that this problem can be solved by yourself, I will naturally not intervene, but if this problem is not solved in a timely manner, resulting in the efficiency of the follow-up plan being affected, then the person who made the 'internal resolution' guarantee to me will be held responsible, can you make such a guarantee?"
"I'm not going to promise anything to anyone." King Vance's fingertips tapped lightly on the wall of the cup and said, "I am only responsible for completing the goal within the time limit of the plan, and no one can interfere with the ways and means I have adopted, and no one is qualified to ask me to make additional guarantees." β
"You're bringing up this topic because you think, I'm going to solve it in a way that you and Charles don't like, but if you don't accept my style of doing things, then don't come to me from the beginning."
Magneto rarely said such a long sentence in one breath, his attitude was very clear, but it was such a passage that made him easily take back the initiative.
Because, he pointed out, it was Charles and Schiller who needed his strength to pull the mutant brotherhood into the game.
Magneto has already given his own strength as a ticket, so in this plan, what kind of means he wants to use to achieve his goal, others have no right to put their beaks.
"That's right, your strong strength is the most important guarantee for the Brotherhood to get on this car, and you just saw that Charles would not do anything to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so you dared to be so fearless."
"Of course, you can also see that the person who made this plan itself can benefit from the change in the situation of mutants, and mutants have the same great use value as you, so you will not leave it behind, so you can sit here calmly and say, 'No need to guarantee anyone'."
Schiller opened his mouth, analyzed the current situation, and continued: "I will not pretend to threaten you strongly, if you do not cooperate with me, I will give up all mutants, because I know that this threat is powerless." β
"The situation of mutants has already hit the bottom, trapped on a small planet, still hovering at the bottom of society, even if they return to the status quo, what can they do?"
"You can continue to be a terrorist, threatening the lives of ordinary people, precisely because you have nothing to worry about, you are invulnerable."
Schiller kept staring into Magneto's eyes until Magneto had to look into his eyes, and then Schiller spoke:
"From the look in your eyes, I can see that you are surprised by my weak attitude, and all kinds of vicious words are lingering in your mind, and you think that is what I should say."
"For example, comparing you to Charles, telling how good Charles's attitude is and how effective his way of acting is, or belittling your personality and behavior, saying that you are too bad-tempered and can't communicate, which is completely a stumbling block to the development of mutants."
Magneto's expression slowly changed, and he began to look more intently into Schiller's eyes, as if wondering what Schiller was going to say next.
"But actually, I made such big concessions in my attitude towards negotiations, and I didn't use any offensive words to take the initiative, and let you be so tough, not because I wouldn't do that."
Schiller smiled and said, "Anyone with a normal IQ should understand that I can devise all these huge plans that you know and put them into practice, and I can't be a weak coward who only pleads with others." β
Magneto retracted his jaw slightly, then raised his eyelids and stared at Schiller from above his eyes, Schiller was silent, as if waiting for his response, and after a while, Magneto's deep voice sounded:
"You are not the Schiller I want to see, such a gentle attitude does not do you any good what you want to do."
"I know this better than you, I have said it, I am not not going to be tough, so, do you think, why do you meet such a me at this time?" Schiller asked.
Magneto also sensed some doubts, and it stands to reason that Schiller should face him with a higher posture.
So far, no one in ordinary human society, or mutants, has been able to refuse Schiller's conditions.
Actually, Schiller's arrival here was surprising enough, and if he really liked to run around the universe, he wouldn't be in New York for that long.
Although, this time, he was entrusted by his favorite student, Magneto would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that there was no political purpose behind Schiller's move.
But the truth is that Schiller didn't need to see anyone in person, and whoever he wanted to see when things got to this point should be there.
Because everyone knows how much benefit a conversation with him can bring to themselves and the forces behind them.
However, Schiller still came, and not in an extremely tough and indifferent manner, saying to Magneto, 'You'd better cooperate with my treatment, or I'll kick you out with the Brotherhood.'"
Magneto knew in his heart that even if Schiller said so and did so, he wouldn't have a good way to deal with it.
He could not risk offending all the other forces that could profit from Schiller and go into a violent conflict with Schiller.
Magneto knows that he is strong, but he also knows that he is not the strongest, and he also knows that behind the interests represented by Schiller, there is a powerful existence that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Therefore, when he learned that Schiller was coming, Magneto felt very anxious, and he felt that this doctor would definitely point out his personality, words and deeds, ways of doing things, and other aspects of his personality as soon as he came, and then began to treat him, and he had met countless such people in his long life.
The group said they wanted to save him, and they also said that if he kept this style, he would not be able to save either the mutant nor himself.
Magneto knew that a few decades ago, Charles thought the same thing, and now they will get along a lot, and it is precisely because Charles gave up.
Therefore, Magneto is now particularly puzzled, how could Schiller have this attitude? Why is he so mild? So patient?
"You and I both understand the disparity we find ourselves in right now." Schiller lowered his eyes, smiled again, and said:
"Now, I have a lot of power, and no one can shake my position, and you, Magneto, to put it nicely, are the pioneer of the development of the Andromeda Galaxy."
"And to put it mildly, everyone doesn't want you to stay on Earth, it's better to roll as far as possible, no one welcomes such a time bomb, you're just a lost dog kicked out of the door......"
In an instant, the teacup in front of Schiller floated and stopped in front of him, and Schiller just stretched out his hands and opened his arms, signaling that he had nothing to hide and that he did not intend to resist.
Schiller didn't do anything to resist, not even an angry expression, he just leaned back slowly, dodging the water glass that kept approaching him.
Until his back was completely pressed against the back of the chair, and there was no way to retreat, the water glass stopped in front of him, and even pressed to his forehead.
The liquid inside was turbulent, as if it was ready to splash him with water at any moment, and Schiller knew that at the slightest thought of Magneto, he would be splashed with tea and look embarrassed.
Schiller also knew that this was the best way for Magneto to get rid of him and give him a dismount.
Although rude, it is not out of line, and according to the world's understanding of Magneto, there is a high probability that he will do it.
But Schiller did not move until the tea in the teacup had completely calmed down, and then he carefully touched the side of the teacup with his fingers, and after holding the teacup, he put it back on the table smoothly.
Magneto saw that the bottom of the teacup had fallen exactly in the same place as it had been placed, not even a millimeter offset, and his brow slowly unfurled again.
"Don't be angry, I'm just stating a fact and showing you that, in fact, every psychiatrist knows how to sting someone, it's just that our professionalism doesn't allow us to do that."
"Again, the gap between our situations is a fact that already exists, and you can't escape reality."
Schiller leaned forward again, stared into Magneto's eyes again, and said, "Everyone likes me, and everyone doesn't like you, even your children, even if I don't let Lorna choose who will choose between you and me, the answer is obvious." β
Magneto's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but Schiller spoke directly:
"But even with such a big gap in our situation, I still don't want to be rude to you."
"And there's only one reason, and that'...... I admire you very much. β
"What you do, what you think, your character and ability, your charisma, make me willing to put aside my arrogance and come to talk to you."
Looking at Schiller's sincere eyes, Magneto was stunned.
