Beauty Man: All Heavens and Immortals

Chapter 140 Yashida Industry

Washington DC.

White House.

Colonel Stryker's office.

"How's the negotiation going?"

William Stryker, who was short and chubby and wearing glasses, squinted at the congressman sitting opposite him, suppressing his impatience, and asked in a deep voice.

The congressman in suits and leather shoes showed a formulaic smile: "Colonel, this kind of thing takes time. Mr. President has made clear orders, so don't act too hastily, or it will cause a bigger crisis."

Stryker said coldly: "Instead of worrying about things that haven't happened, it's better to face up to what has happened and is happening. The crisis of mutants is imminent. In the battle of Liberty Island, Magneto almost wiped out more than 200 countries around the world. The head of state, what a bad thing this is, do you still want to turn a blind eye?"

The congressman waved his hands and said with a smile: "Of course not. Haven't we already sent someone to negotiate with Professor X? We must give the other party some time to think about it. I believe he will make the right choice."

"Professor X..."

Stryker murmured, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The congressman caught a glimpse, and it was no surprise that, as one of Stryker's political allies, he naturally knew everything about Stryker and Professor X, so he changed the subject and asked, "How's the progress at the base? "

Stryker restrained his mind and said lightly: "It's progressing well. Now we only have to wait for Magneto. As long as I get Magneto, I am confident that the threat of mutants can be solved quickly, permanently!"

The congressman clapped his hands and smiled, "Very well, Colonel, we appreciate your confidence the most. Don't worry, based on what we know about Professor X, as long as we put some pressure on him, he will take care of the overall situation and hand over Magneto to us. You You must also be prepared to take over Magneto, and you must not be careless, he is the leader of the Mutant Brotherhood and one of the most threatening mutants to human society."

Stryker said disdainfully: "The plastic prison has been built for many years, and it is waiting for him. In this prison, he is just a bad old man who is at the mercy of others."

"That's fine."

New York, Westchester County.

Xavier School for Gifted Teens.

"I'm curious, what are you afraid of, Charles?"

The unrestrained Magneto sat on the bench under the big tree, looked at the warm and peaceful castle school, recalled the past, then looked at Professor X beside him, and asked faintly.

After Su Hong's unique helmet was taken away by Owen, in front of Professor X, Magneto had no ability to resist, but with Professor X's huge spiritual power, he paid special attention to a person, even when he was sleeping, the other party There is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is the abnormality of Professor X, possessing the power comparable to that of a god...

Professor X smiled gently: "Eric, do you still remember the time when we trained here together, developed our abilities, and prepared to fight against Sebastian Shaw?"

A flash of memory flashed in Magneto's eyes, and he said coldly: "If Sebastian Shaw hadn't killed my mother, it would be great to cooperate with him. I think we mutants have already got rid of the difficult situation. What a pity."

Professor X frowned, then regained his composure, and said with a gentle smile: "We are also a part of mankind. I believe that with our efforts, mutants will eventually integrate into society peacefully."

"Are you convincing me, or are you convincing yourself?"

Magneto sarcastically said.

"Naturally to persuade you, Eric, stop it, violent confrontation will only aggravate the suffering of our mutants."

Professor X's face was full of sincerity.

But Magneto twitched the corner of his mouth, showing disdain beyond words.

Seeing this situation, Professor X sighed: "Eric, you just stay in school, I will try my best to mediate for you."

"Hehe, the final result is already doomed, isn't it?"

Magneto sneered and said: "You will only compromise step by step, and one day, you will be powerless to struggle."

"At least I tried..."

Foot basin, Rejing.

Yashida Industrial Headquarters Building.

"Master Shingen, the chairman has left the company."

A professional elite in a suit and leather shoes knelt on the ground and reported to a short, middle-aged man.

"kindness."

Shingen nodded slightly, and stood there expressionless, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

a long time.

"How is your father's physical condition?"

"Reply to Mr. Xinxuan, according to the doctor's diagnosis, Mr. President's physical condition has further deteriorated. If there is no accident, he will be bedridden soon, and he will no longer be able to control the huge Yashida Empire."

"How fast is soon?"

"It can be as short as one month, and as long as half a year."

"It's still too long."

"..."

The confidants lowered their heads even lower, not daring to speak.

Shingen muttered to himself, and then asked coldly, "Is he still focused on that experiment?"

"Yes, the chairman has recently increased his investment in experiments. He often sits in the town himself, and the security is extremely tight. Our people have no way to sneak in. We can only simply calculate based on the flow of funds."

"He really wants to sit in the Yashida Empire forever... But if he is here all the time, then what else do I have to do? How long have I been the heir to this empty shell? 20 years? 30 years? Or 40 years?"

The coldness in Xinxuan's eyes became even stronger, his confidant knelt there, his hair stood on end, he held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make any abnormal movements.

"Although the Yashida family has flourished in his hands, he is already old. Like all emperors, he is obsessed with the dream of immortality and cannot extricate himself. For this impossible goal, he has invested too much. The foundation of the entire Yashida Empire has been shaken. If this continues, the Yashida Empire will collapse. Only I can save the entire Yashida Empire, save the big foot basin!!!”

"Long live Lord Shingen!"

"Go ahead, closely monitor Father's every move, speed up the infiltration of the group's top management, I want them to be loyal to me in advance, wait one more day, our Shida Empire will consume a lot of resources for those useless scrap iron, this is unacceptable!"

"Yes!"

Yashida Mansion.

Located in Rejing, an international metropolis, it maintains the oldest and largest foot basin residential buildings.

The red-haired Yukio dressed in a kimono looked at Mariko standing in front of the hospital bed with a frown, talking to Yashida Ichiro who was wearing a hospital uniform.

She is a mutant with the ability to predict the future, but this time, her heart was throbbing endlessly, but her eyes were dark, she couldn't see anything clearly, and she only knew that a great disaster would come, which made her unable to... accept.

Many years ago, she was a homeless orphan. When she was searching for food in the garbage dump, she was discovered by Yashida Ichiro and brought back for adoption. She grew up with Yashida Ichiro's granddaughter, Yashida Mariko. Although she was a servant, she Sees Mariko as a sister, and has extremely strong feelings for the Yashida family.

The Yashida family has a long heritage and has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. It is a true foot basin nobleman. Yashida Ichiro is the current head of the family. He participated in World War II when he was young and witnessed the glory and decline of the foot basin.

After the defeat.

Ichiro Yashida retired from the army, took over the family business, and began to lead the family to develop rapidly. In the process, the Yashida family became the brightest star and the most powerful chaebol in the reconstruction of the foot basin. Every move involved the entire foot basin Even the economic trend of the whole world, Shiro Yashida has become one of the spiritual symbols of the foot basin.

Most of the foot basin people believe that as long as Yashida Ichiro exists one day, the foot basin will have a better tomorrow...

But as Yashida Ichiro is aging day by day, from doing everything by himself before, to now living in seclusion, and delegating part of the power to his only son - Yashida Shingen, the news gradually spreads that Yashida Ichiro is critically ill.

The entire foot basin is in a dead silence before the storm.

Those hostile forces that were afraid to take the lead in the past have become more and more active. Recently, there have been more and more assassinations. Although they have not succeeded, in Xuesheng's view, this is the precursor of her palpitations in the dark.

There must be some big crisis coming to the Yashida family, but she can't do anything about it. How can this prevent her who is loyal to the Yashida family from worrying...

"Grandpa, are you feeling better?"

"Well, Mariko, I'm fine, don't worry."

"Grandpa, you are already so sick, why don't you put down Yashida Industry's business and hand it over to your father? You are really working too hard like this, which is not conducive to recuperating."

"Shingen can't take on the big responsibility yet, I don't worry about it."

"grandfather……"

Mariko wanted to persuade her again, but a blond, tall female doctor in a white coat and a mask came over and interrupted: "The patient needs to rest, and it is not suitable to disturb too much, Miss Mariko, please go back. "

Yashida Ichiro glanced at the female doctor and saw her nodding slightly, so he waved and said, "Mariko, go down."

"Yes, Grandpa, take a good rest and I will come to see you later."

"kindness."

When Mariko and Yukio left, Yashida Ichiro changed his previous weakness and frowned, "How is the experiment going?"

The female doctor calmly replied: "Very well, the design of the instrument has been completed, and it can be built just waiting for your order. You should also send someone to capture that mutant."

"very good."

There was a flash of fire in Yashida Ichiro's eyes, he sat up and ordered: "Go to the old house, I want to see the construction of the equipment with my own eyes."

"it is good."

Following Yashida Ichiro's order, a pair of men in black came in orderly, helped Yashida Ichiro out of the mansion from the secret road, and drove towards Yashida's old house on the outskirts of Rejing.

There, there is the hope of his life.

What he didn't know was that behind the convoy, in the jungle on the mountain road, two figures stood side by side, drifting in the wind, and followed them far away...
