Chapter 402 Magneto: Where Did This Guy Come From?
At this time, the other staff members in the monitoring room also took off their headphones and saluted Nicholson like the former.
"Yeah." Nicholson nodded calmly, then waved to everyone to sit down. He came here mainly to see if Magneto knew the mutant Massacre.
Since the two had similar styles of doing things and had both attacked the president, he had reason to suspect that Massacre was probably a fish that slipped through the net when the Brotherhood of Mutants was previously cleared.
"Which one here is Magneto's surveillance screen?" Nicholson glanced at the monitors in the room. There were at least thirty or forty surveillance screens here, basically covering every corner of the Pentagon.
"Mr. President, all of them are on this wall." One of the staff members said.
After hearing this, Nixon walked over, "Is there anything wrong with his recent behavior?"
"Everything is normal. We strictly follow the requirements and prohibit anyone from bringing metal products near the confinement room where Magneto is imprisoned."
"Very good." Nixon stood behind the staff with his hands hanging down, staring at Magneto on the surveillance screen.
On the other side, the guard holding the photo saw Magneto in isolation after passing through the metal detector.
"This guy is really leisurely." The guard looked at Magneto lying on the floor and taking a nap through the glass.
Magneto had noticed the arrival of the guard, but he didn't care. "It seems that it's not time to eat yet. Isn't it too early to come now?"
"I'm not here to bring you food." The guard came to a long hole and put the photo in, "Look, do you recognize the person in the photo?"
"Not interested."
The photo floated along the concrete pipe to Magneto's head, but Magneto didn't even glance at it. He just put his head on one hand and turned sideways to change his sleeping position.
"I advise you to be more serious, otherwise you may go hungry for the next week." Seeing this scene, the guard couldn't help but get angry. It is said that a phoenix in trouble is worse than a chicken. This guy is so rebellious, and he still thinks he is the leader of mutants?
"It doesn't matter." Compared with ten years ago, Magneto now seems more mature, and the leadership temperament he exudes is also more intense.
"Don't you care about the information about Mystique?" Facing this stinky and hard guy under his feet, the guard knows very well what can arouse his interest.
"Mystique?"
Magneto suddenly opened his eyes, supported the floor with both hands, and sat up. His expression became a little ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Mystique was caught by you?"
As far as he knows, in the Brotherhood of Mutants, only Mystique is still wandering around and has not been caught. Could it be that this only remaining person finally failed to escape the clutches of the government? Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of self-blame flashed in his eyes.
If he had not chosen to save Kennedy, who was also a mutant, perhaps the mutant brotherhood would not be like it is now, existing in name only.
"To be exact, we caught her a year ago." The guard said coldly.
"She must have exposed herself, otherwise, with her ability, your government would not be able to find her even if it had eight eyes."
The guard did not deny Magneto's words, "Yes, a year ago, she publicly assassinated Dr. Trass in front of everyone, and then we caught her on the spot, but I didn't come here to tell you about this. Just a few days ago, someone broke into the White House and rescued Mystique."
"What?" Magneto raised his eyebrows, suspecting that he had heard it wrong. Breaking into the White House and rescuing Mystique sounded like a fairy tale.
Mentioning this, the guard's face became even uglier. After all, this matter was particularly shameful for the government.
"Haha, interesting, it seems that there is an extraordinary guy among the mutants." Magneto grinned, with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter.
"The one who rescued Mystique is the one in the photo. I advise you to tell the truth and tell me everything you know."
The guard glanced at the surveillance camera. He knew that the president was also paying attention to the situation here.
"Do you suspect he is from my Brotherhood?" Magneto was so smart that he analyzed the purpose of the guard's visit in just a few words. He showed a rare smile in ten years, picked up the photo beside him, and looked at it carefully.
"Well, he looks quite fierce and looks like a natural gangster. What is his superpower? It must be very strong, otherwise he would not have kidnapped Mystique in front of you."
"Supersonic flight, control of fire, as if he can control metal like you, and super defense that even bullets can't penetrate." Every time the guard said an ability, the smile on Magneto's face stiffened a little, until the last ability fell, his eyes were even more horrified.
"How can one person have four abilities?"
He became less calm and retorted subconsciously.
Seeing Magneto's mood fluctuate, the guard felt relieved for some reason. "He is no less dangerous than you. He once said he would start an indiscriminate massacre in the United States. Therefore, his nickname is Massacre."
"Where did this guy come from? Are all the mutants out there so strong?" Looking at the photo in his hand, Magneto's heart was in turmoil.
But before he could digest this shocking news, the guard dropped another bombshell.
"He originally wanted to assassinate the president like you, but was stopped by another mutant."
"Charles?"
Magneto blurted out, after all, he could think of only Charles who could stop that guy.
However, he saw the guard slowly shook his head.
"It's not Charles, but a guy called Homelander. He is stronger than Carnage. At least Carnage doesn't dare to fight him head-on."
Hiss! Magneto took a breath, and the horror in his eyes surged wildly. What's going on? He has been locked up for ten years, but it feels like a century has passed.
"It seems that you don't know them." The guard said with some disappointment.
"Damn! How can I escape from here?"
Magneto's desire to escape was stronger than ever. He could foresee that if he could recruit those two mutants, maybe his dream for many years would come true one day.
The most valuable thing for a person is to have hope, but since he was captured and the Brotherhood of Mutants was destroyed, Magneto has completely given up the idea of overthrowing human rule, but now, the idea that had long been extinguished in his heart has begun to revive again.
"No, I must find a chance to escape!" (End of this chapter)
