CHAPTER 668 CHANGE
When Professor Charles heard Erik’s words, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he continued on his way, with Erik following him. Professor Charles came to a slow halt in the middle of the vast secret room.
“They are X-Men’s logistics department. As for the other X-Men, some are on vacation and some are still executing their missions.” With a brief glance around, Professor Charles answered Erik’s question lightly.
“Logistics? What do they do? Are you also working on a particular gene for Mutants?” When he heard Professor Charles’s answer, Erik asked seriously with some anger in his eye.
Because of his childhood experience, Erik resented the practice of studying Mutants genes.
In Erik’s opinion, Mutants are more advanced than the average person, they are better than the average person, and their genes are perfect, and if anyone wants to study the Mutants, then in Erik’s view, it’s either to beat them or to use them.
“Of course the logistics department is there to deal with all kinds of logistics because the X-Men don’t have the time to deal with stuff like their weapons and equipment. “When questioned by Magneto, Professor Charles replies in a calm voice.
“As for whether I have studied the Mutants gene, what do you think?” Of course, at the back, Professor Charles looked at Erik and asked.
Charles certainly knew that Erik didn’t like the idea of others studying the Mutants’ genes, but the Mutants wanted to improve, and figuring out their particular genes would be very helpful in that.
Mutants with higher grade Mutations are more stable because of their genetically stable mutation, and they usually live their life similar to people.
But Mutants with a low-level mutation not only cannot control their abilities but their mutation may also bring difficulties to their lives. Therefore, studying the genes of Mutants can bring better help to these low-level Mutants.
What Professor Charles always wanted to do was not to let Mutants dominate the world, what he wanted to do was to let Mutants be able to live a normal life as most ordinary people do now.
And all Magneto needs is strong Mutants, in his view as long as Mutants are strong enough to unify the Earth, then all the problems about Mutants will be solved. But that’s not going to happen.
“Equipment? You mean those things?” Not caring about Charles’s flat tone, Erik asked while pointing to a half-finished set of battle suits on a nearby workbench.
On the workbench that Erik pointed to, a black suit with dark silver lines as the main body was undergoing various tests. Obviously, this suit is the equipment of the X-Men.
“These are only a part of it. We are always improving. Through our cooperation with other forces in the world, we are also constantly developing. Otherwise, how do you think your Mutant Brotherhood lost so easily?” Seeing that Erik noticed the battle suit, Charles replied faintly while not forgetting to remind Erik that his Mutant Brotherhood members were in his hands at the end of the answer.
“Humph! So what if they lost? Everything is alright as long as I don’t lose!” Hearing Charles’ words, Magneto said with a cold snort.
However, although Erik still maintains his power as the leader of the Mutant Brotherhood, his heart has become unstable since just now.
From his previous battles in Washington to his choice to see these changes within the X-Men, Erik felt deeply that the Mutant Brotherhood was no match for the X-Men. In fact, if it weren’t for him being in the Mutant Brotherhood, it would be nothing more than a speck of dust in front of the X-Men.
“Indeed, you haven’t lost. But that’s only temporary, Erik. How many more years can you last?” Charles continued without denying Magneto’s words.
Charles has always cared for his old friend. However, the world is not something that they can stir at will.
Whether it is Magneto or Professor Charles, they are already old and their abilities have slowly begun to decline. What is the future of the Mutants on Earth as their backbone fades away?
“At least not less than you! Charles!” Hearing Charles’ question, Erik answered with a bright look in his eyes.
Seemingly knowing that it was impossible to convince Magneto with just his words, Professor Charles said nothing more. Then, the two friends continued to stroll casually in this chamber.
Dī Dī Drops~
Just as Charles was leading Erik around this logistical chamber, a red dot suddenly popped up on the screen of the workbench to the side, followed by a beeping sound.
Phew!
After that beep came out, a blue figure suddenly ran from another direction. Without bothering to look at Magneto, Hank was already operating on the workbench.
Da Da Da ~
“Didn’t you just talk about some mission?” Magneto asked Charles after seeing some data that was constantly changing on the screen.
The original intention of the X-Men was to protect the peace-loving Mutants on the earth. For this reason, they would often go out and deal with Mutants in various places, which Erik knew.
And now that the red light spot had appeared, Erik wondered if there were Mutants in that place who needed help.
“There is a mission, but it’s not what you think. Since we now have Allies, there are special emergencies that the X-Men can turn over to reliable Allies if we are too late.” Charles responds faintly to Erik’s question.
But Erik didn’t notice. The red blips that Professor Charles saw on the screen were special glints of light in his eyes, which clearly means that this is not a normal mission cue.
“All right, Charles, I know what you’re going to do. I’ve seen the changes in the X-Men. Would you be satisfied if I told you I was surprised by your changes?” Erik asked as he looked away from the light screen and looked at Charles.
“Was it an accident or was it a nice change?” “Charles asked earnestly while staring into Erik’s eyes.
Erik: “…”
“Let’s go out. There are other places I can show you. After all these years, you should have forgotten many places.” Knowing that Magneto wouldn’t answer, Professor Charles took control of the wheelchair and headed outside.
