Chapter 508 Future Negotiations, New Ways for Variants
"Mr. Zhou Yi, it's been a long time. To be honest, I thought a long time ago that we would negotiate a cooperation face-to-face like this, but to be honest, I never thought it would be this way!"
Magneto Eric Lanchel was bathed in the early morning sun, and he sat relaxed on a rattan chair like all elderly people. This look makes him look very laid-back, and even gives the illusion that he is an ordinary old man enjoying his old age. But if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are always flashing with a bright light like a flame. This kind of light is enough to show everyone that this old man is not ordinary, and his faith is always burning, and it will never end.
He just sat there without saying a word, looking at Zhou Yi who had just walked in and sat directly in front of him with those bright and burning eyes. It wasn't until a moment later that he expressed such emotion.
In just two or three years, Zhou Yi has changed from a guy on par with him to an existence he needs to look up to. This kind of change gave him a sense of impermanence and change in everything. But he wasn't someone who gave up easily, or he wouldn't be sitting here. So after saying this with emotion, he then said to Zhou Yi, who had been looking at him with a half-smiling smile.
"Since you have come, can I think that you have agreed to my request?"
"Of course!" Looking at the restrained model girl holding a cup of coffee and placing it in front of him, Zhou Yi smiled at her and put his eyes on Magneto, the leader of the mutants on a par with Charles. "Time has given you your most valuable asset, Mr. Lanshere. I am amazed by your keen and wise vision. I have to admit that I cannot refuse this cooperation agreement you have proposed at this time. Therefore, I can give You give the answer you want, and I agree to join the organization you call as the Knights of the Dawn. But before that, I have some questions for you, Mr. Lanchel!"
The conditions Zhou Yi promised himself were things that Magneto expected, but the existence of these problems was something he did not expect. But that's just a small problem. It's nothing compared to their big plans. So he just nodded slightly and replied.
"Please tell me, Your Excellency. I came here with sincerity, and naturally I won't back down because of a few small questions!"
"Very good! Since Mr. Lanshire is sincere. Then I'll be outspoken!" With a smile and narrowed eyes, Zhou Yi put on a leisurely gesture and asked Magneto nonchalantly. "I heard Ada say that Mr. Lanshell is willing to lead some of the elite mutants to join my city and become the first group of radical mutants to join the city. That's right!"
"Certainly, this city is the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life, especially for us mutants. So, I'd love to be a part of it. Of course, my guys too!"
About this question,
Magneto replied without thinking. This was something he had already made up his mind, and naturally it was impossible for him to make any changes at this time.
After listening to his answer, Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed immediately.
"I want to ask, then. How many radical mutants is Mr. Lanchel planning to inject into my city? Is it just a few of you, or a number like I asked for in a previous agreement?"
I heard Zhou Yi ask this. Magneto fell silent. He looked at Zhou Yi blankly, but his fingers tapped gently on the armrest of the rattan chair. This means that he is thinking, thinking about what kind of answer he should give to make Zhou Yi satisfied. Looking at his small movements, Zhou Yi did not urge him. This is not an easy decision, and it is obviously impossible to make up your mind without careful thinking and inevitable awareness. So, he is very patient.
However, Magneto didn't make him wait too long, because soon he measured the answer in his heart.
"Your Excellency, I remember that the number you mentioned in the agreement was 10,000 people, that's right!"
"Yes. Ten thousand people. That's the bottom line of my heart. You should know, Mr. Lanschel, that creating the world I've envisioned requires only more mutants than that. This city needs an infusion of new blood. And you are my best target!"
Zhou Yi's words made Magneto's old cheeks twitch irregularly. Obviously, he was not satisfied with Zhou Yi's statement. But relative to the value of what they're trading for, this personal honor is completely discardable. So he quickly cleared up his complicated mood and responded to Zhou Yi.
"I can give you 20,000 mutants, and even call on the whole world in my name to add more mutants to your city. But. You must protect these people so that they can get here safely. It's an inevitable price, and you should know that."
"It's a little thing, of course. Well, Mr. Lansheer. I have another question, and I think you should know that if you and your radical mutants join my city, your identities will change. It will change because of that.”
"At that time, you can no longer be so-called radicals, and you can't continue to hold on to your stupid idea of destroying human beings and mutants. You can only be residents of this city, enjoying all this city has. Rights, bear all the obligations of this city. That is to say, you must live in harmony with ordinary humans here. You and even those hostile human elements around you must let go of the hostile emotions in your heart. Do you have any opinions on this? ?"
If it was changed to the previous one, Magneto would not need to speak, and the mutants under him would protest and object to Zhou Yi's request. But today is different. Today, when the relationship between humans and mutants is becoming more and more complicated, and when Radiance City is gradually evolving towards the holy place in the hearts of mutants, this so-called requirement has been accepted by most of the people. The mutants accepted it. And here, even the staunch supporters of Magneto.
The tide of mutant activism is over, and it's something no one can deny. Not to mention that the gang of moderate mutants under Charles are becoming more and more prestigious in the human world because of their mischief and their careers, the fact that they have reached an alliance with the Avengers alone can make everyone still hesitating. The mutants of the camp value them even more.
In addition, Huiyao City in Zhouyi has gradually become a landmark city where humans and mutants can live in harmony. Many mutants are no longer optimistic about Magneto and their career.
It is true that many mutants, especially those who have been persecuted, have a hard time forgetting the hatred in their hearts. But hatred is not everything, especially when it comes to future choices, hatred can never bring what they want. Mutant Radicals fought Magneto for so many years, but what they got was not a growing reputation and a bleak future.
Over time, Magneto's ideal world will inevitably be questioned. Especially after all of this. Not to mention others, even Magneto himself, has begun to waver about what he has done over the years. Otherwise, he wouldn't sit here and discuss this issue with Zhou Yi.
What he's after is a bright future for mutants. When all his efforts failed to make him foresee that future. Finding another way has become his only option. And Zhou Yi was the choice he made. So this time, Magneto agreed to Zhou Yi without thinking too much.
"OK, no problem!"
Magneto's answer was simply beyond Zhou Yi's imagination, so he couldn't help reminding him.
"Mr. Lansheer, in the principle of fair cooperation. I think I have to make it clear to you that this is not something you can solve by saying no problem. This means that once you agree, then you are equivalent to losing. All your rights. These people will no longer be your subordinates, and you can even say that your mutant brotherhood will disappear because of it, you understand?"
Since seeing Zhou Yi, the expression on Magneto's face has been dull, even gloomy. But now, when Zhou Yi asked him this, there was an indescribable smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhou Yi, do you remember when we first met. Did I ever promise something like you?"
This question surprised Zhou Yi. He just nodded, and Magneto continued to speak.
"At that time I promised you that if you would join my side, then you would become the master of the future. You could stand side by side with me, and even after my death, everything will be handed over to the mutants into your hands. You will be their king, the master of this world. That's right!"
"Yes, at that time you thought I was also a mutant, so it is understandable that you promised me those things in order to win me over."
"It's not to win, but that's what I mean. For me, the so-called leadership of the mutants is actually just a dispensable thing. Do you think I have been like me from World War II to today. Do people who are enemies of the whole world really only care about this little power? No, that's not what I care about. If I can achieve my ideal, I can give it all up right now. It's just a pity that my The ideal is too difficult to realize, so I have to take a compromise. And you are my choice."
"You're different from Charles, Charles will only compromise, and you won't. Plus I know who you are, and I see everything you do to mutants. So if it's you, I can Accept, it's up to you to inherit everything from me."
"In the end, everything has just returned to the original point. It's just a different way. Zhou Yi, my dream is broken, but you have allowed me to see a new future. So, I'd love to see you come. Take my all."
Magneto's words changed the expression on Zhou Yi's face several times, but in the end he laughed helplessly.
"I have to admit, Mr. Lanshere. I underestimated you. You are a man of honor. I think we should be able to cooperate happily!"
Saying this, Zhou Yi extended his hand to Magneto. (To be continued.) () "The Glory of the Sun God" only represents the author's view of the Red Sea Grand Admiral.
