American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 259 What do I think? I'll sit and watch!
At this time, Carl in the air slowly landed.

He just took it a little seriously and solved the little trouble of Apocalypse.

After venting his anger, he landed from the air.

Carl removed the gravity field and looked at Eric and Storm. He asked expressionlessly:

"Do you still want to fight? I can send you to accompany Tianqi!"

Eric and Storm are not loyal to Apocalypse at all, after all, they have only known each other for a few days.

Therefore, when faced with Carl's death threat, they shook their heads madly from the bottom of their hearts.

Charles and others, who had watched Carl easily defeat Apocalypse, could no longer sit still.

Charles tentatively invited: "Mr. Karl, where are you going next?"

"If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to Xavier's School for Gifted People as a return guest?"

In Charles's opinion, this Omega-level strongman, although he killed Apocalypse this time.

But he was still worried that if Carl did evil, no one would be able to stop him.

Therefore, he wanted to invite Carl back to school to find out his character.

Keep Carl under your nose and try to prevent him from suddenly having evil ideas of ruling the world.

Besides, the existence of a strong person of this level is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.

The years of feuds and struggles between mutants and humans may have a chance of peace under Carl's deterrence.

Driven by various factors, Charles sincerely invited the other party to visit the school.

When Carl heard the invitation, he was planning to have some fun for a while, so he agreed to Charles' invitation without much thought.

"I have asked the school to send a Blackbird fighter to pick us up. Please be patient for a moment, Mr. Karl."

After Charles asked Beast Hank to contact the school, he started to get close to Carl.

"Mr. Carl, what do you think about the difficulties mutants are facing today?"

"Ten years ago, after the mutants wreaked havoc at the Paris convention and the White House incident, humans first discovered the existence of mutants."

"Through the joint efforts of Eric and I, these two incidents have prevented the extinction of mutants in the future."

“But humans are still very wary of us.”

"There are even humans who privately arrest mutants and conduct cruel human experiments and research."

"I have always wanted to promote peace between mutants and humans. To this end, I also established Xavier's School for Gifted People."

"But judging from the current situation, the relationship between mutants and humans is still very tense."

“I have also been troubled by this problem.”

"So I would like to ask, Mr. Carl, what do you think about the future of mutants?"

Hearing Charles ask about the future of mutants, a question that concerns himself.

Riven, Hank, Shockwave, and Nightcrawler beside them were all very concerned.

Even Eric and Storm, who were standing not far away and looking embarrassed, pricked up their ears to hear what the 'big boss' had to say.

When Karl heard Charles' question, he smiled indifferently and said, "You asked me what I saw? Of course I sat down and watched!"

"I don't care about the future of mutants. As long as no one messes with me, I don't care about other people's lives."

"After all, I won't stay in this parallel universe forever. I'm just a passer-by."

"Of course, since you asked sincerely, I can also give you some advice."

Hearing this indifferent attitude, Charles and others were a little overwhelmed for a moment.

But when they heard a piece of advice, they became serious and prepared to listen to the advice of the big man.

Karl said seriously, "A great man once said something very philosophical, and I am passing it on to you."

"Peace survives when it is sought through struggle, but it dies when it is sought through compromise!"

After listening to this, Charles and others looked thoughtful.

Not far away, Eric, as the loser, was feeling very embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

At this time he couldn't help but said: "I have told you that your method doesn't work, Charles."

"If we keep compromising with humans, they will only think we are weak. Only war can bring the mutants their due interests!"

Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair, retorted a little excitedly: "No, your ideas are too extreme. You want to go to war with humans directly."

Seeing that the two old enemies were about to quarrel again, Karl was not interested in listening to them quarreling, so he interrupted:

"Okay, you guys can discuss these philosophical questions later. I'm too lazy to wait for your plane to pick you up. Just tell me where you are and I'll teleport you there."

After hearing what the boss said, Charles and Eric stopped arguing tacitly and told the exact location of Xavier's School for Gifted People.

With a wave of his hand, Carl took Charles and seven others across a distance of more than 7 kilometers and teleported back to Xavier's School for Gifted People in New York.

After Carl and others left, only the two lifeless bodies of Psylocke and Angel were left in the Rocky Mountains in western Canada.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two bodies will be decomposed and disappeared by nature within a day.

But two hours later, more than a dozen armed helicopters arrived.

Well-trained soldiers emerged from the helicopter one after another.

Colonel William Stryker of the United States military stood before the two bodies of Psylocke and Angel.

"Collect the body immediately and bring it back to the base!"

"Yes, sir!"

He watched as his soldiers began to take action, including professional corpse collectors in white coats and researchers holding various detection instruments to collect data around them.

Stryker stroked his chin and fell silent.

He received an order from the military two and a half hours ago that there were suspected to be multiple small nuclear explosions in western Canada, and he was ordered to bring a special forces team to investigate immediately.

And now, when he saw these two corpses that were 100% mutants, he seemed to understand something.

The nuclear explosion was most likely caused by mutants.

"Did a mutant with nuclear explosion capabilities appear?"

Thinking of this possibility, Stryker's face became solemn.

Big fireworks have always been the exclusive weapon used by big powers to shock the world.

Once this big firework is mastered by the mutants.

He could hardly imagine what serious consequences might occur.

"It looks like the Weapon X plan must be brought forward!"

William Stryker wants to create a controlled mutant with hundreds of super powers by studying the mutant's X-gene.

At present, the Weapon X project has reached a critical step. Stryker sent the mutant Kayla, who has the ability of hypnosis, to Wolverine Logan and made her his wife.

After Kayla gained Logan's trust, he prepared to create the illusion that Kayla was killed by Victor.

Then they tricked Logan into voluntarily undergoing a very risky adamantium injection surgery and erased Logan's memory, making him an obedient knife.

Kayla has just married Logan and has not yet gained his full trust.

Stryker feels that it is too slow, the threat of mutants is becoming more and more serious, and he must take a more direct approach!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly left on a helicopter.

He had to return to the Pentagon immediately to tell the military brass the truth of the investigation in order to gain more military support to advance his Weapon X program.

Night falls.

In July, the summer, even the nights are stuffy.

Xavier School for the Gifted is a vast castle manor with beautiful scenery and full of Scottish style.

At this time, on the lawn in front of the main entrance of the castle, Charles and twenty or so mutant children were having a barbecue.

Under the dreamy starry night sky, the breeze gently blows away the summer heat.

The children's laughter infected Charles, Raven and every other X-Men member.

Apocalypse was successfully defeated. Although it was not by the X-Men, it allowed Charles and others to relax and finally have a good rest for a while.

Since the birth of Apocalypse, Charles and others have not slept well, fearing that when they wake up, mankind will be ruled by Apocalypse.

Fortunately, it's all over.

Charles and others all had smiles on their faces, enjoying a leisurely barbecue time with the children.

Eric and Storm seemed a little out of place. They were sitting on the steps of the main entrance of the castle, a few meters away from Charles and the others.

Eric, now in his middle age, grows a full beard, showing his mature masculine charm.

He was looking at his daughter, Lorna Dane, who was mingling with the children not far away with a loving look.

He followed Apocalypse just to repay a favor, and now that Apocalypse is dead, he is wanted by the military again.

If Eric were alone, he might still choose to establish the Brotherhood of Mutants to fight against humans.

But his daughter is still alive, and Eric can't go into battle against humans with a burden.

In desperation, he had to endure the nagging of his old enemy Charles every day and temporarily live in Xavier's School for Gifted Children with his daughter Lorna.

At this moment, Eric looked at his daughter who had just lost her mother and finally smiled. His heart was also infected by his daughter's smile.

Maybe this kind of life is pretty good?
Just like Mr. Carl said, the future of mutants is none of my business. As long as they don’t mess with the people I care about, I can do whatever happens.

"Look, children are the future. Your daughter has inherited your abilities. If you don't guide her, it will have very serious consequences."

Hearing Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair not far away, start preaching again, Eric stood up with a dark face and walked into the castle without saying a word.

This annoying guy likes to preach so much when he is only in his forties. What will happen when he gets really old?

I can't afford to offend you, so why not just avoid you?
Watching Eric leave with a dark face, Charles chuckled a few times. It was already a good ending to see his old friend willing to settle down and live a stable life.

Can't ask for too much.

Then, Charles saw Storm sitting on the steps, looking a little lonely, and asked with a gentle smile:

"Kid, I still don't know where you are from. Would you like to tell me about your experience?"

Storm, who just turned 18 this year, has short, neat white hair, and her dark skin cannot hide her proud figure.

Even wearing only a set of shabby and simple clothes, she is still charming.

Hearing Charles asking about her origins, Storm, who was very confused about the future, thought for a while and slowly began to tell her origins.

"My name is Ororo Monroe. My mother is a princess from a small African country. She later married an American photojournalist."

"So I was also born in New York, America. When I was six months old, my parents took me to live in Cairo, Egypt."

"But the good times didn't last long. When I was six years old, my warm life was broken by a sudden war."

“During the conflict, a destroyed plane crashed into the house where my family lived and my parents died.”

Speaking of this, Ororo choked up a little.

"Although I was lucky enough to survive, I was buried in the rubble near my mother's body."

"For two whole days and two nights, no one came to rescue me. I had to use my ability to blow away the rubble bit by bit and crawl out by myself."

"From then on, I became an orphan. In that war-torn era, I could only be a pickpocket and a thief, trying my best to use my abilities to survive."

"Until the apocalypse appeared, he said he was willing to give me a bright future, and I followed him."

After hearing Ororo's story of her unfortunate past, Charles sighed and said comfortingly:
"I'm sorry to bring back sad memories for you, but this place can be your second home. I hope you can get over your sorrow as soon as possible."

"If your parents see that you can live happily in the future, they will surely rest in peace."

Riven was also an orphan. After hearing about Ororo's tragic past, she felt the same way and couldn't help but walk over and sit next to her.

"In fact, I am also an orphan, and I can relate to your experience. I used to often go to the professor's house to steal food, until I was discovered one day."

Charles felt touched when he saw two women with the same unfortunate life stories comforting each other.

At this time.

"Professor! Sister Raven! The delicious chicken wings are ready, come over and eat together."

The children not far away suddenly shouted in unison.

Charles looked up.

The two brothers Scott and Shockwave, with a group of half-grown children, were showing off in front of the barbecue grill, holding up various fragrant skewers and chicken wings.

Seeing the innocent smiles of the children, the sadness in Charles' heart quickly dissipated, and he turned to Raven and Ororo and said:
"Hey! The kids invited us over for some kebabs, why don't you join us?"

Upon hearing the invitation, Ororo looked hesitant. Many years of tragic past had made her feel inferior, and she was afraid of contact with strangers.

Although she longed for the warm atmosphere there, she felt in her heart that she was not worthy of fitting in.

The attentive Riven understood Ororo's fear, and directly took her hand and invited her: "Don't worry, you are such a beautiful big sister, the children will definitely like you."

Raven said as she dragged Ororo towards the grill.

"But you have to be careful of those naughty kids who might lift your collar. Teenagers always like to play pranks!"

Ororo was dragged away, still stunned by what she heard, and asked stupidly: "Lifting my collar? Is there a child who is still breastfeeding?"

Ruiwen paused and looked at her seriously. Seeing that she really didn't understand, she leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"What? You said these kids wanted to take advantage of me?"

Ororo's cry of surprise was so loud that the children across the street could hear it.

This made Riven speechless.

Silly child, you are really big-breasted and brainless, how can you still be so naive?
