Marvel's whitewashing cop, you want me to save the world?

Chapter 205 Marrying Wanda

Li En gathered the last piece of parachute line and turned around.

Standing in front of him was an elderly man wearing a helmet, tall and straight.

His posture exudes a sharpness and agility that can only be retained after being repeatedly tempered by the years.

That kind of aura comes from people who have been in leadership positions for a long time.

Li En himself was starting to feel this way, but the aggressiveness emanating from the person in front of him was clearly stronger.

Li En smiled and said casually, "Mr. Eric, I've come here today to discuss cooperation with you."

Magneto, Eric Lansheer, snorted and slightly raised his right hand.

In his gloved palm, three metal balls were slowly rotating in mid-air, at a slow speed.

But the feeling of kinetic energy being suppressed at such close range makes anyone standing opposite instinctively tense up.

"If it weren't for the fact that you've been kind to your mutant brothers, I would have killed you right now. Now, tell me, what brings you here?"

He said that, but he was actually quite curious.

Why would this man, who has dominated almost every headline in the news, suddenly appear on his isolated island?

Li En smiled slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a vial of blue medicine radiating a chilling aura appeared out of thin air between his fingers.

He held the vial of Frost Dragon Blood Potion up to Eric so that the other could see it clearly.

"This is the Frost Dragon Blood potion developed by our Umbrella Corporation."

Its effect is very direct: it activates the latent X gene in the human body, granting the user superpowers—in other words, making them like you.

Eric's expression changed drastically in that instant.

His eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracted, and even the three spinning metal balls above his palm paused for a moment.

For years he has kept himself and the Brotherhood members trapped on this small island.

Aside from occasionally turning on the security camera to check the news, he actually knows very little about the changes in the outside world.

Not to mention something like the Frost Dragon Blood Potion, which he knew absolutely nothing about.

"You're not kidding me, are you?" He narrowed his eyes, his voice turning somber.

He never trusted ordinary people.

Over the years, the price paid for trusting ordinary people has been high enough.

The next moment, the three metal balls in his palm flew out with a whistling sound, heading straight for Li En's chest.

Boom, boom, boom.

The three dull thuds almost came together.

Eric stared ahead in disbelief.

His three metal balls slammed into the opponent's chest, then shattered into several irregular metal fragments that clattered onto the rocks.

He clenched his fist tightly, and the shattered metal pieces instantly coalesced, flew back into his palm, and reformed into a complete sphere.

"You really have power within you."

He did that on purpose, to test Li En's true capabilities.

If the other party is just an ordinary person, then the so-called dragon blood potion in their hand must be fake.

What aliens? What Avengers? What Thor?

In his eyes, they were all just props for making movies and illusions created by the publicity department.

But now, the three metal balls he threw with all his might couldn't even scratch the opponent's skin.

He shifted his gaze from the metal fragments back to the vial of Frost Dragon Blood potion in Li En's hand.

This time, his gaze was completely different from before; it became intense and focused.

"Can this be mass-produced?"

Li En smiled as he put the potion back into his spatial storage, then spread his hands, his tone as relaxed as if he were inviting someone for a casual meal: "I flew all this way here, won't you treat me to a meal first, and then we can sit down and talk slowly?"

Eric's previously tense face suddenly relaxed.

He looked at the young man in front of him, remained silent for a moment, then turned to the side, stretched out an arm, and gestured for someone to lead the way into the island.

"The fraternity welcomes you, Mayor Lee."

The table was laden with local seafood and tropical fruits and vegetables, far more abundant than Li En had anticipated.

Eric wasn't the only one sitting with him.

Sitting next to him was a blonde woman with sharp, aloof features.

Opposite them was a young couple; the man had very light silver-white hair.

The woman had striking red hair, and both of them looked quite young, around eighteen or nineteen years old.

After introduction, the blonde woman is revealed to be Mystique Rivendare.

The red-haired and silver-haired young people are Scarlet Witch Wanda and Quicksilver Pietro, both Eric's children, who just turned nineteen this year.

While peeling shrimp, Li En took out a tablet computer from the backpack next to him and displayed the research and development data of the Dragon Blood Potion, experimental data, and comparison videos of the Bright Squad before and after injecting the Frost Potion to everyone, page by page.

The video clearly shows Brett conjuring ice pillars out of thin air, manipulating snowflakes, and smashing an entire alloy wall into cracks in the training field. There are no traces of post-production editing.

"It's really true?" Raven's eyes widened in disbelief, and he turned sharply to look at Eric.

She had been by this man's side for so many years that she knew better than anyone what he was pursuing in his life.

Now, a New York City mayor is sitting across from them, peeling shrimp as he tells them.

That pursuit already has a mass production plan.

What's even more frightening is that this person holds political power and popularity throughout New York and even the entire United States.

If he wanted to, he would be fully capable of activating the X gene in all of humanity.

Doesn't that mean Eric's wish was fulfilled through him?

Eric tried hard to keep a straight face.

Of course, he also wanted to have doubts, and as usual, he wanted to throw all the promises from ordinary people into the trash.

But the information on the tablet in front of me was so logically sound that every set of data and every video could be compared with reality, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, Bright's team can verify this at any time.

Their earliest patrol videos are still available online.

Back then, they were just a few ordinary police officers, wearing bulletproof vests and carrying shotguns, performing the most basic acts of justice on the streets every day.

Later, viewers gradually noticed that these people seemed to have improved their physical abilities and had been equipped with more powerful weapons.

Later, residents filmed them using superpowers during their operation against the gang, with icicles appearing out of thin air on the street and water vapor condensing into snowflakes in mid-air.

These images have been circulating online for a long time and are hardly a secret.

Eric usually shields the entire island from electromagnetic fields, only briefly connecting it to the external network when necessary.

He wasn't unaware of it; he just hadn't pieced the fragments together in the same direction.

He licked his slightly chapped lips, picked up the glass of deep red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then looked up at Li En again.

This time, he didn't even bother to scrutinize him, asking directly, "What exactly is your purpose?"

Li En placed his wine glass on the edge of the table and went over his blueprint again from beginning to end.

From the branching evolution path of Dragon Blood Potion, to the logic of forming the Elemental Legion, and then to using this legion to develop uninhabited planets, solve Earth's resource bottlenecks, and benefit all of humanity.

A complete plan for both X-gene awakeners and ordinary people to venture into the depths of the universe together.

After he finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass, took a sip, put the glass down, and looked at the silent old man across the table.

"Mr. Eric, you certainly wouldn't be content to spend your whole life living on a small island."

Prejudice and hatred will naturally disappear after the Dragon Blood Potion becomes more widespread.

Even if you still don't want to live with those new generation X-gene awakeners, it doesn't matter.

Go to the universe, find a planet, and transform it from start to finish into a home for your own people.

Isn't that something more worthwhile to do?

For any leader, or rather, for anyone who has lived as a martyr.

To build a planet that belongs entirely to one's own people.

No one can resist this temptation.

Sure enough, Eric's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

Two extremely sharp beams of light shot out from the depths of his pupils, as if something had been ignited by a fire.

Just then, Wanda and Pietro were whispering to each other across the table.

"I have to say, this guy is even more handsome in person than he looks in the videos."

Pietro crossed his arms and looked Li En up and down.

"Right? He's really super handsome." Wanda's gaze kept drifting towards Lee Eun's face.

"Why don't you hurry up and ask him for an autograph?"

"Won't Dad be angry?"

The whispers between the two could not be hidden from anyone present.

Li En never expected that he would be the idol of these two young people.

But it’s normal if you think about it carefully.

His current reputation is among the highest in the world.

His decisive and efficient work style, without any hesitation or procrastination, makes it no wonder that he is admired by the younger generation.

At this moment, Li En probably forgot that he himself was only twenty-six years old.

Of course, not only him, but almost the whole world assumes that Li En is over thirty.

Even though his face looks young, his position, actions, and manner of speaking make him seem like a young man in his early twenties to anyone.

Eric turned and glanced at his daughter.

A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on that face, etched with the lines of hatred and battle.

He looked at Li En again and spoke in a tone completely different from before.

"If you want our Brotherhood to cooperate, I have one condition."

"What are your conditions? Just say it." Li En put down his fork and looked up at him.

Eric held up a finger and pointed at Wanda, who was sitting opposite him, his tone calm and solemn.

"You will marry my daughter, Wanda."

boom.

Click!

The sound of a chair shattering and the sound of cups and bowls breaking exploded at the same moment.
