Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 483 I'm Not Merciful, But Manipulating (Second Update!!)

Hawke burst out laughing when he heard his daughter Jean's words.

His smile was so radiant that, in that instant, he felt his cold had been completely cured by this heartfelt joy.

"Can't the Peace Act bring peace?"

"Take out the last word."

After all, she was his daughter. Hawke just smiled and didn't continue. Then he looked at his daughter with a serious expression: "Although killing is a bad habit, the fact is that when you can't get what you want with your fists, no matter how much you talk, people will just take your kindness as weakness and vulnerability."

What you can't get on the battlefield, you can never get at the negotiating table.

Hawke still remembers a joke.

He claimed that his country was helped into the United Nations by African black men.

Ah!
What utter nonsense.

The reason they were able to get into the United Nations is because back on the Korean Peninsula, they single-handedly took on seventeen different factions, ultimately forcing the US to invite them into the UN.

The most important thing.

Hawke crossed his arms and looked at his daughter Jean with a smile: "My dear daughter, you don't think that your father and mother have been able to stay in this world peacefully for so long because those people in Washington love peace, do you?"

Wanda, who was watching the scene unfold, smiled at her daughter Jean and said, "We've only been in this world for a day, no, to be precise, a dozen hours. Do you know what your father did?"

First, he encountered mutant bank robbers and stole 500,000 from them.

They originally intended to abide by the local laws, but unfortunately they were ambushed by the Sentinels in the mutant underground community.

The mutants are being slaughtered, but even as they are being slaughtered, they are still trying to delay the inevitable and allow more mutants, but those with weaker mutant abilities, to escape.

Hawke immediately erupted in anger.

Attack Quantico first.

Attack again... Quantico!

Hawke's lips curled up: "I gave the Pentagon a chance back then, but I knew they would most likely take my mercy for weakness. And sure enough, your mother and I were ambushed by the Sentinels again as soon as we arrived at Xavier's School."

Well known.

His mercy is not limitless; aside from Mephisto, he has only ever had one chance.

and so--

Quantico was razed to the ground.

The Pentagon is now reduced to half-rubble.

The White House was cut in half.

That's why, even now that he and Wanda live here, the IRS doesn't dare send any letters to this address regarding property tax collection.

Otherwise, the $500,000 he and Wanda stole on the day they arrived wouldn't have been enough to sustain them until now.

and so--

There's a saying that goes like this.

"Peace sought through compromise will lead to the demise of peace!"

"Peace will prevail if we seek it through struggle!"

"Hoping that a treaty can bring peace is no less than going back in time to change history."

The past cannot be changed.

Therefore, contracts obtained through compromise are destined to fail in bringing peace.

Hearing Hawke's words, his daughter Jean frowned. After a while, she looked at Hawke and asked, "So, Dad, you still don't agree with Professor X's ideas?"

Hawke smiled slightly and waved his hand: "What other people think is their business. I respect whatever ideas they want to express, as long as they don't try to impose those ideas on me."

Freedom of religion.

Freedom of thought is also possible.

Some people are cruel, some are tough, and naturally some are kind, while others are saintly.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.

Hawke doesn't mind others expressing their ideas, as long as that person doesn't try to make him agree with their ideas.

His resolve is as firm as iron, unbreakable!
“But Daddy is kind too, isn’t he?” Daughter Jean looked at Hawke: “Didn’t you also give the Pentagon a chance?”

Upon hearing this, Hawke's lips curled into a mysterious smile as he quietly looked at his daughter, Qin.

Eyes facing each other.

The daughter, Qin, was slightly taken aback.

"Is not it?"

"...So be it."

Hawke smiled slightly, his expression somewhat conflicted.

because--

The reasons are unspeakable.

In fact, anyone who studies psychology will feel that Hawke was a very contradictory person when they see his past.

Because Hawke's style and methods are actually not related to kindness.

At best, it could mean the extermination of the entire family.

In severe cases, the entire clan may be exterminated.

India's population is extinct.

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible to reconcile Hawke's decisive actions with his tendency to always give others a chance.

Not only could they not get in touch, but Hawke didn't actually want to either.

But there is no way!

Taking the initiative is one thing.

Self-defense counterattack is another matter entirely.

Because Hawke's soul comes from an ancient great nation, he has always valued having a legitimate reason for his actions. Even if he has to search through history books to find a reasonable excuse to take action, he will still do so.

Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence.

Low emotional intelligence?
The river crab mythical beast is not only protecting his most fundamental timeline, but also observing his every move.

If he were to suddenly unleash a brutal attack at the slightest provocation, the moment he does, the censored beasts would devour him. After all, this ancient and powerful nation has always cultivated virtuous gentlemen, not tyrants who kill at the drop of a hat.

and so!
Many times, it wasn't that Hawke didn't want to unleash his full power, but rather that he could only wait, and even knowing that the other party wouldn't keep their promise, he would still choose to let them go.

He can only defend himself and fight back; he cannot act as he pleases.

At least until he reaches the end of his journey, this is the only way he can do if he doesn't want to die halfway through.

But he couldn't tell his daughter Qin this reason.

Hawke's thoughts raced, then he looked at his daughter Jean and smiled slightly: "Because I am a cat."

The daughter, Qin, was slightly taken aback.

"cat?"

"Yes."

"Your dad means it's because it's fun."

Looking at her daughter Jean, who still looked confused, Wanda couldn't help but interject again, shaking her head and saying, "Sometimes, when a cat catches a mouse, it doesn't eat it right away. Instead, it lets the mouse go, then catches it again, and only then does it eat it."

As her mother Wanda translated, the daughter Jean stared wide-eyed at Hawke, as if at that moment, the image of her bright and great father had completely collapsed.

The father shows mercy to every enemy, but it's not genuine mercy; rather, it's like a cat playing with a mouse, manipulating them.
Hawke shrugged at his daughter Jean's questioning gaze, offering no explanation.

Because the real reason cannot be revealed.

But he wouldn't lie, at least not to his own daughter; he wouldn't stoop to lying to her.

It would be bad if his daughter actually thought he was kind and developed a kind personality herself.

and so--

If the father figure collapses, so be it.

Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.

Hawke thought to himself.

The daughter, Qin, took a deep breath: "So, Dad, you don't agree to me going to Washington?"

Hawke shook his head and smiled slightly: "If you want to go, then go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Qin, the daughter, looked at Hawke again.

"Can I go?"

"Why can't you go?"

"Didn't you say that the agreement was useless and that it was very likely a trap?"

"What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand!"

Hawke smiled and said, "If you don't go, how will you know the agreement is useless? If you don't go, how will you know it's a trap? Go ahead, it's okay. Your mother and I are here. You can go wherever you want."

Let's not even talk about Wanda.

It is said that his cosmic power has already broken through this universe. Although it has not yet fully descended, his power has begun to manifest in this universe.

and so--

Even if my daughter Qin ran away to the Hua family and something really happened to her...

In a word.

Just die.

Anyway, after her daughter Qin dies, she will be reborn from the ashes in the phoenix fire where anything is possible.

But if this were to actually happen, the consequences would be severe.

Hawke dislikes this world very much.

Hawke felt a deep-seated disgust because of the images of federal sentinels slaughtering unarmed mutants in the mutant underground community.

Hawke originally planned to take advantage of that opportunity to unleash his fury and wipe out the world.

But his power did not ultimately arrive at that time.

Therefore, Hawke only gave him a minor punishment, which was enough to put an end to the matter of the federal sentinels and the Pentagon.

But what if something happens to his daughter if she goes to Washington, D.C.?

Ha ha!

This Earth can be flattened.

It's only right for him to avenge his daughter!

Hearing Hawke's lighthearted words, the daughter Jean seemed somewhat incredulous, looking at Hawke's smiling face before turning her gaze to her mother Wanda's.

"Mother?"

"Look at what I'm doing."

Wanda smiled and said, "Your father and I agree. If you want to go, then go. Maybe by the time we leave, the world will truly be at peace."

After receiving the same answer from Wanda, the daughter, Qin, smiled happily.

Hawke and Wanda exchanged a glance and smiled.

At night.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, her daughter Qin is sleeping in a guest room on Palm Street tonight.

After Wanda came out of the bathroom in the master bedroom in her pajamas, she got into bed and touched Hawke's forehead: "Hmm, it's okay, it should be better by tomorrow."

Hawke laughed and said, "Of course, even if I were an ordinary person, my physique would still be very strong."

Back then, I also had a fever and practiced boxing until I fainted, but I was fine after I woke up.

Wanda looked at Hawke, who had a very proud expression on his face, shook her head, and then seemed to have thought of something, lowering her voice: "The Federation's secret Sentinel operation, it seems they are very confident in this plan."

Hawke hummed.

"Do you remember when we came here, this universe had undergone a reset?"

"remember."

"This is what caused it."

"..."
