Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

All the soldiers stared intently at the X-Men, their fingers already on the triggers, ready to pull them at any moment.

Logan's expression had turned fierce.

Sharp steel claws were beginning to emerge between the hand and finger bones.

Scott looked directly at the manager, John.

His expression was very unpleasant.

The other party demanded that they completely surrender and be taken away for interrogation, which was undoubtedly unacceptable to Scott.

Scott's attitude towards ordinary people is inherently subtle.

His ideas differ somewhat from Professor X's.

He was a hardliner; he didn't like to bow down to humans, or rather, he didn't want to entrust the safety of mutants to these people.

Scott has witnessed far too many dark things along his journey.

He distrusts humanity, or to put it more bluntly, he distrusts any official institutions.

He had absolutely no trust in these people.

He had no doubt that if he and his companions gave up and were taken away, they would be treated badly.

Therefore, Scott planned to speak up and decisively refuse.

But Professor X's voice came through my head.

"Scott, don't be impulsive."

Scott paused for a moment.

As a result, all the soldiers on the scene suddenly found that they could not move their bodies, but they still had their own thoughts and consciousness.

This caused all the soldiers' faces to contort, including that of FBI Director John.

An invisible spiritual force swept by, and right outside the church, Professor X, sitting in a wheelchair, slowly moved over, his aged face calm and composed, blocking the X-Men's path.

"professor?"

"Professor, what's wrong with you...?"

Everyone was surprised and asked, completely unexpected that Professor X would come. They hadn't seen Professor X when they came looking for Kurt before.

The professor raised his hand to stop everyone from saying anything more, and he faced John directly.

He first looked up at the Sky News helicopter, then looked at John.

“I’m sorry, Mr. John, I have to do this for the sake of peace, but please rest assured that I have not controlled you. I have only severed the connection between your consciousness and your body, but there is no harm done.”

"Professor X."

Facing Professor X, one of the world's most powerful mutants, John showed no fear, instead maintaining a cold expression, even though he was unable to move.

He stared intently at Professor X: "If you think you can make us back down this way, you're wrong."

“He committed an unforgivable mistake. Your assassination of the president is no longer an ordinary case. We will suspect that you mutants intend to start a war.”

“I can tell you that you only have one choice: come with us and be interrogated.”

"If this demand is not accepted, the government will immediately activate the highest level of contingency plan for superhuman threats."

This was not a threat, but rather an order that had already been given to him from behind.

This war was not a rehearsal.

Chapter 247 Give Me Some Face, Magneto (Tenth Update)

John's firm stance silenced Professor X.

He had thought his intervention would reduce the intensity of the situation, but he did not expect the other party to remain firm in their stance.

He immediately and keenly realized the crisis involved.

Regardless of what actually happened within the government, a consensus was reached.

But one thing is very clear.

They were treated as suspects, and along with Kurt the Nightcrawler, were either taken away for interrogation or put to war.

There are no other options.

Professor X sensed something was amiss.

He only wanted to use his abilities to intimidate those people, but they weren't buying it at all.

This put him in a dilemma.

He did not want to become the cause of war between humans and mutants.

Most importantly, he couldn't find any useful memories in the Nightcrawler's brain; the Nightcrawler's memories had been erased.

Even Professor X's mental powers couldn't restore the reading.

This sent a chill down his spine.

Professor X realized that the conspiracy involved was far more serious than he had imagined.

"professor!!"

As Professor X pondered, the X-Men displayed various expressions. Scott stepped forward as if to say something, but Professor X sighed.

The decision has already been made.

"Scott, I......."

But before he could finish speaking, an invisible magnetic force suddenly swept across the entire surrounding area.

The guns that the surrounding soldiers were holding suddenly came out of their hands, floated up, and turned to point at themselves.

Not only that, but Apache helicopters and F-22 fighter jets flying in the sky were also forcibly shut down and stopped in mid-air.

Cameras carried by ground and air media helicopter journalists also floated up and pointed in this direction.

Upon seeing this scene, Logan's expression changed.

He knew that the guy he hated most had arrived.

The same applies to Professor X and others.

"Eric?" Professor X put on his mask of pain, knowing that the situation had completely spiraled out of control.

Sure enough, several figures slowly descended from mid-air.

After the invisible magnetic field dissipated, these people landed in front of Professor X.

The familiar figures were none other than Magneto Erik, Mystique Raven, Sabretooth, and a burly man over two meters tall wearing a huge metal helmet.

His name is Red Tank.

“Charles, I told you your cowardice only emboldens those humans. They never wanted to give us a choice, and yet you have to fawn over them.”

Magneto didn't turn his head, his tone filled with disappointment.

"Eric, how could you do this..." Professor X tried to salvage the situation, even hoping to control him with his mental powers.

But he simply couldn't do it.

Not to mention that Magneto has developed a mind magnetic field defense ability, he is still wearing a helmet that resists mind power.

The same goes for the people around you.

He could only hope to persuade the other party, but Magneto wouldn't listen at all.

He spread his arms wide, and the cameras were pointed at him, causing everyone watching on television to widen their eyes in disbelief.

His aged face bore a mocking and cold smile.

Magneto activated his powers, forcibly releasing electromagnetic signals to connect everything happening here to military satellites in the sky, and then manipulated the signals with his authority.

Make sure that all televisions around the world, whether they are on or off, broadcast this image.

That's his ability.

Magneto is capable of directly influencing one of the world's most powerful mutants.

“I know you’re watching.”

“I know what you want to do: use this as a pretext to wage war against us.”

"Over the decades, do you know how many mutants have died on the autopsy table?"

"You spread the fear of mutants. In your ignorance, you only know how to reject, loathe, and hate, but you never think that we were once human too."

"Since you can't wait to start a war, then let's have a war."

“You should indeed fear us, and you should dread us, my fellow countrymen. Stop hiding, stop being afraid. We have lived in the shadows and in shame for far too long. Come out.”

"Abandon your cowardice, abandon your illusions, only resistance, only war, let us fight side by side, for a new tomorrow for mutants, starting today."

Magneto's impassioned voice, transmitted through the camera, roared at all the ordinary people and mutants around the world who witnessed this scene.

After saying that, Magneto stared intently at John.

"You pressed the button of war, so destruction begins now. Don't you have nuclear weapons that you're so proud of?"

"Then let them taste the fear they themselves have created."

John had already changed color because of Magneto's words.

"What...what did you do?"

"What have I done?" Magneto laughed mockingly. "What do you think I've been doing all these years?"

Magneto simply raised his hand.

Then you see a military satellite pointing at a screen in outer space, and the images on televisions all over the world switch accordingly. It shows something floating quietly in the sky.

One represents death and destruction created by humankind itself.

A nuclear bomb!!

When this scene was played, all the witnesses involuntarily stood up, their faces showing fear and confusion.

This should have been an ordinary day, but it became extraordinary because of an assassination attempt.

Magneto's voice came through the television and reached everyone's ears.

"Then you, John, the director from the FBI, will choose the location for the explosion."

Which city would you prefer?

The voice almost roared at the end: "John, don't you want war? Then let you start it yourself! Come on, why are you silent?"

At the scene, not only John, but everyone present had a look of fear in their eyes.

John had lost his previous toughness; now he was filled with fear, utter fear.

The White House, the Pentagon, and governments around the world are in complete chaos.

Leaders of countries outside the United States, in particular, were itching to hurl insults.

What are those damn idiots doing?

It's unbelievable that the situation has escalated to this point, that mutants have been forced into this predicament, leading to a world-class disaster that has occurred for no apparent reason.

If that nuclear bomb were to explode, Magneto and the mutants would undoubtedly have no other choice.

Humans are the same.

The atmosphere was almost frozen. The powerful figures in the White House Oval Office, who had initially made up their minds, immediately abandoned their original plans in the face of this threat.

Even if they were unwilling, they realized what the price would be for driving mutants to the brink of destruction.

They tried to contact John, who was on the scene, to speak directly with Magneto.

However, it was too late; Magneto had already blocked their signal.

When despair pervaded.

A young, pleasant female voice suddenly rang out.
