Chapter 278 Magneto

Kenosha is an artificial island with an area of ​​approximately 3500 square kilometers. The basic framework of the entire island was created by Magneto, but other mutants also contributed to this city, which was entirely created by mutants. On this island, you can see a complete ridge running through it, as well as beautiful beaches and other natural landscapes where the metal framework is almost invisible.

The Blackbird fighter jet landed at the international airport in Port Hammer, the capital of Kenosha (although there weren't many flights). As Logan landed, he saw Magneto smiling at the jet, helmetless. He snorted in annoyance, and after the jet came to a complete stop, he stood up first and disembarked to talk to Magneto. Peter immediately got up and followed, followed by Katie leading the new mutant team, who curiously disembarked.

"Wolverine, what a long-lost old friend."

Magneto, Erik Lansher, should be 75 years old this year, but because he can manipulate magnetic fields and strengthen his own cells, his face looks like he is only in his fifties, not very old. If you only look at his tall and muscular body, you might think he is a young man in his twenties or thirties.

“I don’t think we’re old friends at all, Magneto.”

After Logan got off the plane, he walked up to Magneto and said, "We're just here to investigate. We'll leave when we're done."

Magneto smiled and stared at Logan for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, leaving Logan bewildered: "What are you laughing at?"

“Scott Summers sent you and the kids to Kenosha, Logan. That’s enough to show his goodwill; at least he’s willing to believe that I’m building this country for the benefit of mutants. And yet you’re being so sarcastic to me.”

"Really?" Logan crossed his arms and looked at Magneto. "I have a feeling that Cyclops sent me because he doesn't trust you."

"That's why he was Charles's best student."

As Magneto spoke, he looked at Spider-Man who was walking over and extended his hand to him: "Welcome, Spider-Man. Kenosha welcomes any friend to visit us, as long as they don't come with ill intentions."

"Yes... I've seen a lot of tourist ads for Kenosha online, but unfortunately, there aren't any direct flights here."

“Because some people are afraid that the public will see the truth, that they will see that I and my country are not a breeding ground for monsters and terrorists, but a utopia.” Magneto said, smiling amicably at the students who followed behind him, and then looked at Logan: “If you don’t mind, Logan, perhaps I can take you on a tour of Kenosha. It’s a magical and wonderful country.”

Logan simply stared at Magneto, offering no response to his boasting. Magneto reached out and transformed a nearby metal fence into a platform that everyone could stand on. He stepped onto it first, then looked at the others. The students looked at Logan somewhat bewildered, and Logan frowned.

Until Peter was the first to step onto the platform.

Even Magneto looked at Peter with some surprise, then praised him, "That's amazing, Spider-Man. Your courage is admirable."

Actually, it was just that his spider-sense hadn't detected the danger, but that shouldn't be said outright. Just as Peter was thinking this, Magneto handed him a bracelet and explained, "In Kenosha, to prevent malicious damage, we've prepared an identification system to identify people without the X-gene. They won't be able to enter many places. So we've prepared passes for tourists. Don't worry, there's no metal in them."

Peter nodded, took the pass and put it on, while Logan led the students onto the platform. Magneto waved his hand, and the metal platform took off, gradually leaving the airport and flying towards the city of the capital, Port Hammer.

"So, what brings you here this time, Logan? And why did you specifically bring an Avenger along?"

“Nathaniel Essex may have come to your country, Magneto. This is related to the Super Soldier program that the Avengers are investigating.” “Nathaniel?” Magneto seemed unconcerned. “He’s not a mutant. If he’s infiltrated Genosha, the identification system will detect it immediately.”

"Not necessarily. When we last saw him, he was able to fuse the mutant genes of different mutants into the body of his clone. As long as he controls such a clone, it doesn't seem to be difficult for him to infiltrate."

Magneto nodded, acknowledging the threat, but still didn't think it was a big deal. Mr. Ominous had only one purpose: he must have infiltrated for the gene-editing device that cost as much as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. But that thing was now under Magneto's control. As long as he waited for it to come to him, that guy wouldn't be a threat.

“In that case, how about we leave Nathaniel’s problem to the two of us? You can let the children visit Kenosha. Since they’re here to broaden their horizons, a visit to Kenosha might be beneficial.”

After making this suggestion, Magneto looked at Logan and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried that I might do something harmful to the children?"

Logan just frowned. He didn't have Spider-Man's sensory abilities, but he could still sense the sincerity, or rather, indifference, in Magneto's words.

He was genuinely proud of the country he had built and wanted to prove and boast about his achievements to his old rivals.

The disc gradually flew to the city of Hammerport, where a huge statue appeared before everyone. It was a Magneto statue over 100 meters tall, made entirely of the remains of Sentinel robots that had once served as mutant killing devices. Logan was about to make a sarcastic remark when he discovered that the statue had two sides.

Facing the ocean, what everyone entering Kenosha sees is Magneto, while the side facing the country of Kenosha features the statue of the man who silenced Logan.

"Chuck..." Logan called out his usual way of addressing the professor, scratching the back of his head in exasperation. "If you can guarantee the students will be back to sleep by nine o'clock at night, then it's possible."

"Of course, I will arrange for you to stay at Magneto Palace."

Magneto led everyone to land in front of his palace. The students disembarked, mostly with a mix of nervousness and curiosity, and left. Peter and Katie waved goodbye, intending to follow Logan inside to handle some business with Magneto. Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, Magneto stopped and looked at Peter.

“Spider-Man, I hope you can visit Kenosha too. A positive assessment of our country by an Avenger would be helpful to us. And I'm sure the Avengers also want to know what kind of country Kenosha is.”

"I've also arranged a guide for you; she'll take you on a great tour of Kenosha."

Magneto smiled and gestured to introduce the red-haired girl who had walked over. Peter immediately recognized the girl, who was about his age, as he had just met her older, multiverse version a couple of days ago.

"Let's get to know each other, Scarlet Witch."

 It's hard to find pictures of Wanda because most of them are too sexually suggestive to post.
