Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Rather, it was because he possessed memories of two lifetimes, had an extremely mature mindset, and had some understanding of domineering aura, that he consciously guided and cultivated in this direction, thus successfully activating two types of domineering aura.

However, his Armament Haki has not yet awakened.

Matthew isn't in a hurry to master Armament Haki.

After all, he was able to successfully activate his Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki even without the help of a teacher like Kaido who could "achieve Emperor-level power with three blows". What more could he ask for?

He believed that as long as he continued to train and practice, his Armament Haki would be activated sooner or later.

The activation of Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki gave Matthew the most basic means of counterattacking those who sensed mental abilities.

If someone attempts to invade his memories with mental power, he, possessing Observation Haki, can sense this anomaly in advance. Furthermore, Conqueror's Haki itself is a form of mental attack, which is sufficient to launch a corresponding counterattack.

If someone were to actually attempt to invade or disrupt his memories with mental power, the resulting mental clash could potentially amplify the power of Conqueror's Haki.

Besides, his counterattack methods are not limited to Conqueror's Haki.

Not to mention his own increasingly powerful Glint-Glint Fruit ability, which he is developing, his formidable physical attributes, combined with his equally developed "Shave," mean that if they were face-to-face, he could instantly snap someone's neck, even if that person was Professor X.

Of course, this was just his worst-case scenario.

In fact, it may not necessarily come to that.

Chapter Fourteen: Professor, I Want to Make a Deal with You (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)

Akali Lake in Alberta, Canada, presents a desolate and mysterious scene in winter, with its surface covered by a thick layer of ice.

The lake was surrounded by snow-covered landscapes and the Rocky Mountains. Snow was falling from the sky, and a dam stood on the lake. In this remote place, no one would have imagined that there was a base beneath the dam.

It was also a human testing ground.

The base has a network of interconnected passageways, with bright fluorescent lights on the walls of the long metal corridors emitting a cold white light.

The corridor is lined with closed metal doors, each equipped with an electronic access control system.

This place is filled with all kinds of high-tech equipment, including advanced computer systems, biological experimental instruments, medical equipment and monitoring systems. The walls of the laboratory are covered with screens displaying various data and images.

It also has complete facilities such as hangars and equipment areas.

During the day, the base was bustling with people. Inside the base, there was a separate area used for detention. The walls there were damp, and the metal gates smelled of decaying metal.

Here, rows of closed cells hold all sorts of men and women.

In a nearby pit, there were more than a dozen children, the youngest possibly only a few years old and the oldest no more than fourteen, covered by a fence and manhole cover.

The environment here shows that those who imprison them don't care about them at all.

Everything was in perfect order, but no one knew that a car was parked on the highway far from the lake. It only stayed for a short while before turning around and leaving.

............................

Xavier's Teen Mutant School is located at 1407 Graymalkin Lane, Salem Center, Westchester County, New York.

This historic mansion belongs to the Xavier family and has been passed down for ten generations.

However, the mansion was converted into a school.

Spanning 100 hectares, the school boasts an ancient and dignified appearance; surrounded by forests and lakes, it enjoys a beautiful natural environment and admits only mutant students.

Compared to the tragic experiences of mutants in the outside world, life at the school was like paradise.

In the relatively spacious area in the principal's office, in front of the desk, a bald old man dressed in a suit sat in a specially made wheelchair, explaining something to seven or eight teenagers.

The boys and girls listened intently, but suddenly, the old man's deep, gentle voice stopped.

He slightly raised his head, his eyes twitching as if he had sensed something.

He closed the book that was on his lap, then smiled gently at the students and said, "This class is over. We'll continue in the next class."

Goodbye, Professor.

Goodbye, Professor.

The students were very well-behaved. They didn't ask why the class was ending halfway through. Instead, they politely said goodbye to the principal, took their books, and left the principal's office while exchanging notes.

The wheelchair turned, and the professor placed the book on the desk. When he turned around again, he saw a dazzling figure composed of hundreds or thousands of golden particles.

With a handsome face and a tall, upright figure, he wore a dark green air force jacket and jeans.

"Incredible."

The professor's aged face was filled with astonishment.

Such expressiveness was unbelievable even to an old man with decades of experience.

"Professor, I'd like to make a deal with you."

A few minutes later.

"Nutritional supplements?"

After a brief exchange, Professor X was surprised to find that the boy who suddenly appeared and introduced himself as Matthew had come to see him for this reason.

He was somewhat puzzled, but his interest was piqued.

He could tell that the boy in front of him was not a mutant.

The reason is that he is one of the most powerful telepaths in the world, and he can sense the unique brainwaves emitted by other mutants within a certain range.

Matthew doesn't have those brainwaves.

But how did they manage that dazzling ability just now? Superpowers?

"So what are your chips?"

Professor X asked with a smile.

He treated Matthew, who was not very old and had no ill intentions, with the kindness of an elder.

But Matthew's next words made his expression change abruptly: "The exact location of a human experimentation base that holds many mutants."

Professor X's previously amiable expression immediately turned serious as he scrutinized the boy before him.

A subtle emotional fluctuation arose within him, but he suddenly sensed that Matthew's terrifying, volcanic aura was also stirring within him.

"This is...!" Professor X's heart was suddenly filled with shock.

“Professor X, it’s best not to do that. I don’t like people prying into my memories.” Matthew’s deep brown pupils were tinged with red as he stared directly at the old man in front of him. His imposing aura subtly spread out, causing the entire principal’s office to tremble slightly.

The office suddenly seemed to have turned into a churning ocean, where anyone caught in it could be torn apart and swallowed up at any moment.

Professor X, with his immense mental strength, steadily withstood this momentum.

However, his mindset had already subtly changed. His attitude towards Matthew was no longer the same as before, which was like an adult looking at a child. Instead, he treated him as an equal.

"I'm so sorry, please forgive my rudeness just now," Professor X said sincerely.

"What you just said really got me a little excited."

“I understand.” Matthew remained noncommittal, his imposing aura quietly dissipating, and the previously heavy atmosphere eased.

“I agree to the deal. Hank will develop the nutritional supplements and formulas you need.”

Professor X immediately agreed to the deal, even though Beast Hank, one of the parties involved in the deal, wasn't even there.

Matthew didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, he stated his requirements for the nutritional supplements and then readily told Professor X the exact location of the human experimentation base.

"The bottom of Akali Lake in Alberta, Canada?"

Professor X frowned.

As one of the leaders of the mutant faction, Professor X has experienced countless open and covert struggles between humans and mutants, and is naturally aware that there are too many ambitious people among humans.

Some of them were after power, others after wealth, and they all used mutants as experimental subjects.

Because mutants contain things in their underlying genetic code that humans do not understand.

Especially the many powerful mutants that have emerged in recent years, such as Magneto who can manipulate magnetic fields and Professor X who possesses one of the world's strongest mental powers.

There are also dangerous mutants unknown to ordinary people but recorded in secret files, who possess extraordinary powers that ordinary people cannot attain.

Extraordinary power is right before our eyes.

If the secret to breaking through the mutant's underlying genes could be unlocked, it would be possible to mass-produce mutant warriors, and perhaps even grant oneself a longer lifespan, which could then be sold for vast wealth and power.

As a result, numerous human experimentation sites were established, and countless mutants died tragically on the operating table, a fact that Professor X was fully aware of.

Chapter Fifteen: Lieutenant General's Combat Strength (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)

He also searched for those bases many times to rescue the imprisoned mutants. Besides him, his old friend Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants were also doing the same thing.

However, the two used very different methods to find the answer; Professor X relied on his own mental abilities.

With his extraordinary mental power, combined with the brainwave amplifier that Beast Hank created for him, he can instantly spread his mental power throughout the United States and even the world, accurately detecting the brainwaves of all mutants on the planet.

Of course, the humans aren't fools either.

In response to psychic powers, humans have developed devices to resist them, or added telepathic barrier materials to walls, houses, and other buildings. As a result, Professor X's search efficiency has plummeted in recent years.

He couldn't possibly use the brainwave amplifier to search around the clock every single day.

Coincidentally, Akali Lake in Alberta, Canada, was the very place he had sent X-Men members to search, and the team members reported back that they had found nothing.

Unexpectedly, the location Matthew gave was at the bottom of the lake, inside the dam, which explains why the X-Men found nothing at the beginning.

After the transaction was completed, the professor provided a precise delivery time for the nutritional supplements and formula: one month, and the two parties exchanged contact information.

As for the professor being able to determine the time, it was clearly through telepathic communication with Hank, the beast who was also at the school.

Matthew didn't care about any of that; he only cared about the nutritional supplements.

After the deal was completed, Matthew chose to leave. Professor X did not try to stop him, because he had to gather the X-Men to go to Akali Lake to rescue the mutants.

As for why Matthew knew this place was a human experimentation site, Professor X didn't care either.

All he knew was that mutants were indeed imprisoned in this place, and that was enough.

Rumble!!

Thunder roared, its sound like thousands of birds singing in unison. Black and red lightning bolts shot into the sky, ravaging the desolate glacial plain. Countless falling snowflakes were evaporated, and the clouds in the sky churned endlessly, as if a terrifying god had unleashed his fury.

On the glacial plain, Matthew delivered a powerful punch to the massive iceberg in front of him.

boom!!

This punch, carrying a terrifyingly explosive force, slammed into the iceberg, instantly shattering it and sending countless cracks spreading wildly.

The earth shook violently, and a large area of ​​ice cracked open, with ice chips and shockwaves sweeping in all directions and impacting everything around them.

The roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

After an unknown amount of time, the black and red lightning gradually dissipated, and all the commotion subsided.

The entire glacial plain was already badly damaged, and snow was still falling in the distance, but the weather here was completely changed, and not a single snowflake fell.

As the white mist dissipated, Matthew stood before the ruins of the iceberg he had shattered with his punch, his crimson pupils gradually returning to their original dark brown.

He raised his hand and looked at his fist, which was now covered in black, exuding a cold, metallic feel.

"I barely managed to release the Armament Haki flow. As expected, my strong physique makes my awakened Armament Haki even stronger. I still can't achieve the Conqueror's Haki binding, but my control is much more refined than before. To achieve binding, I still need to continue to grow."

"Even so, the growth in the past two months has exceeded expectations."

Matthew was very satisfied with his progress over the past two months. Suddenly, his figure transformed into a golden beam of light and shot into the distance, quickly traversing tens of thousands of meters and landing on the deck of an unmanned yacht drifting in the ocean.

Stepping inside the cabin reveals its luxurious decor.

This yacht belongs to the Parisian tycoon whom he personally sent to hell.

Negri disliked waste, so he simply left it behind. After all, with the subsequent reskinning, he wasn't afraid of being traced. Now the ship was under Matthew's name.

Open the special metal box on the inner bar, and you'll find several tubes of well-mixed, deep blue nutrient solution inside.

He drank the nutrient solution in one gulp and then closed the metal box.

The abundant nutrients were quickly absorbed and supplied to his whole body by his super digestive system, and the fatigue and hunger he had felt after a day of training were being relieved at an astonishing speed.
