Chapter 322: Lao Wan's Story

Katie looked at the world outside the window with a slight glitter, and Laura's words seemed to open the door to a new world for her.

Magneto and Professor Charles, a pair of good friends, have loved and killed each other for most of their lives, but they are still limited to the earth, and the social status of mutants has not been substantially improved.

The extremely unstable population base of mutants is like a drop in the ocean in front of normal humans, and powerful mutants such as Magneto, Professor Charles, and Wolverine are even rarer.

So, as Laura said, building a shelter for mutants outside of Earth seems like a viable option.

But this is just a preliminary idea, and there are many things to consider before it becomes a full-fledged plan, and Katie needs allies to help refine and implement this plan, all of which will take time.

At this point, Katie's mind finally broke away from the Utopia created by Xavier's Academy for Genius Geniuses, and for the first time had an imperfect, but fairly clear goal.

Of course, these are all things for later, and in the recent period, she just wants to have a good rest with her lover, and it is also regarded as the last rest before the plan begins.

Laura noticed that her girlfriend's eyes went from lost and confused to uplifted and hopeful, and then gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on her face.

That's right, she's deliberately leading Katie to think. In Laura's view, both Charles and Magneto's plans are wrong and unworkable, and it's time for the younger generation of mutants to think for themselves about the way forward.

After her mood relaxed, Katie felt a wave of tiredness rush over her, and her eyelids couldn't stop drooping.

Seeing this, Laura picked her up, gently put her on the big bed in her bedroom, covered her with a quilt, and watched her gently fall asleep.

As she fell asleep, Katie's breathing calmed down, and the look of pain and unease on her face no longer showed the same pain and unease she had seen in the medical pod.

Gently letting go of Katie's hand, Laura stood up silently and walked slowly to the window, reaching out to close the curtains.

On the chaise longue in the courtyard below, the Maximov siblings were also asleep, their hands still clasped tightly, as if they were afraid of losing each other again.

Laura, however, quickly took her eyes off them, and looked coldly into the distance, at the leafy grove beyond the manor.

Without disturbing the resting group, Laura flashed into the spot where she had been looking, staring at someone who had hidden himself in the shadows of the trees.

"Mr. Eric Lanshel, what are you doing here? Or should I call you Magneto? Or Max Eisenhardt? ”

This observer is none other than the famous supervillain, the old rival of the X-Men, the founder of the Mutant Brotherhood, and the powerful magnetically controlled mutant --- Magneto.

The guy was expressionless when he heard the first two names, until the age-old name "Max Eisenhart" came out of Laura's mouth, finally breaking his expressionlessness.

"It's been a long, long time since I've heard that name. Laura Crawford, your intelligence skills are far more powerful than I expected. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, but you haven't answered my question yet."

When Laura said this, golden flames flashed in her eyes, and a faint golden energy began to linger on her body, and she had the posture of starting a war without saying a word.

The two sides confronted each other for more than a minute, which ended with Magneto's retreat and Laura's victory.

"Sure enough, as Charles said, your strength is terrifying."

Lao Wan is a scene person, and he has never liked to admit defeat, but this time he chose to back down.

First, because Laura's own strength is indeed very strong, the terrible feeling that seems to be able to burn everything in the world is only seen in Jean Gray, who has released his heart and fully liberated the power of the phoenix.

This second has a great relationship with the brother and sister who are sleeping in the courtyard.

"You're also very well-informed, it seems that they really have a lot to do with you."

Laura, who had been keeping an eye on Magneto, naturally noticed his gaze from time to time looking in the direction of the courtyard.

However, Lao Wan was silent about Laura's question, but his uncontrolled eyes and slightly trembling facial muscles showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"Tsk, since you don't want to talk about it, then I'll tell you about my findings."

Laura stood in front of Lao Wan with her hands behind her back, blocking his view and began to speak.

Max Eisenhardt was born in the late 20s of the 20th century into a middle-class German Jewish family. His father, Jacob Eisenhart, was a World War I veteran. After the outbreak of World War II, Marx and his family were sent to the Warsaw Ghetto. They had escaped from their father's previous relationship, but were betrayed and re-arrested.

His mother, father, and sister were all killed and buried in mass graves, and at the last moment, Marx's abilities awakened and he survived.

Escaping from the mass grave, he was once again captured and sent to Auschwitz. It was in that cave that young Marx fell in love with a Roman girl, Magda. They escaped from the camp together in the uprising of October 7, 1944.

After the war, he and Magda moved to Vinnytsia, Ukraine, Marx changed his name to Magnus, and Magda and Magnus also ushered in their first crystallization of love--- Anya, and life seemed to finally be peaceful and stable.

Until one night, an angry mob set their house on fire, after little Anya suddenly awakened her abilities while playing with other children in the town, and the residents regarded the family as demons.

The fire spread quickly, and Anya was playing alone at home at that time. The thugs tried desperately to stop Magnus from saving Anya, and a desperate and grieving Magnus finally managed to go berserk, killing all the thugs and destroying most of the town.

Magda was frightened by Magnus's terrifying abilities and left him. Shortly thereafter, Magda died after giving birth to twins Pietro and Wanda on the way to escape.

The kind-hearted Maximovs adopted the children, who had lost their mother at birth, and raised them in war-torn Sokovia.

Just as the siblings were about to reach adulthood, an air raid claimed the lives of the Maximovs, and it was this tragedy that spurred Pietro and Wanda to awaken their mutant abilities. ”

With Laura's narration, Magneto's inner world is completely broken, because he is the Magnus in this story, and the biological father of Wanda and Pietro!
