Chapter 441 Negotiations Failed! My Countrymen Under the Sun!
New York, USA, Wiesel Academy for the Gifted.
"Mr. Jervis, the situation at the Pentagon is urgent. More than 20 people have been injured or killed. The minister hopes that you can lead the superheroes there as soon as possible."
The intelligence staff of the CIA looked anxious and said to Xia Shang in a sincere tone:
"As for the cost issue, the minister said that as long as your company can solve this crisis, money is not an issue and we will call you right away."
Before Xia Shang could reply, Charles said impatiently: "Eric wants to provoke a war between mutants and humans. We must hurry up and stop him, otherwise things will continue to get worse. The situation is going to get out of hand.”
He knew exactly what Eric wanted to do. You must know that the Pentagon is the office of the U.S. Department of Defense. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a symbol of military power in the United States.
And now that Eric is attacking the Pentagon, he obviously wants to teach the United States a lesson and at the same time give the world a warning that mutants are not so easy to bully.
Although Eric did this for the sake of mutants, in Charles' view, his approach was too extreme and might destroy the current balance between mutants and humans.
Once the balance is broken, the 'Third World War' caused by mutants may begin!
"There is a brainwave enhancement machine in the academy. I should be able to use it to contact Eric, provided it is not scrapped."
Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair, immediately looked at Hank beside him, "Can that machine still be used? I remember I used it to search for mutants around the world."
"Due to disrepair, some parts inside the machine may have aged. I'm not sure whether it can be used." Hank frowned and said solemnly.
"Forget it, there's no need to waste time repairing that machine. I'll take you there myself."
Xia Shang, who looked calm, glanced at everyone present. Although flying with so many people at once would be a bit physically demanding on him, it was good to be able to show off his strength, which could deter some people. Ghostly guy.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the intelligence personnel beside him and said, "My ability is a bit special. It's best for you to close your eyes."
After saying that, several invisible flesh and blood tentacles suddenly emerged from behind him, and then swallowed everyone present. Then, the tentacles appeared one by one, wrapped around Charles and others, and solidified into dark cones. .
Then, in front of the intelligence personnel, he disappeared with everyone in an instant.
…………
On the other side, Defense Minister Gaston directed his soldiers to block the scene and prevent reporters from approaching. He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to Eric in the sky:
"Calm down, Mr. Eric, I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with the government, but there are thousands of ordinary people in the building. I hope we can sit down and have a good talk. I can try to satisfy you with whatever conditions you have. ”
At this time, Gaston was already sweating profusely after seeing the tragic situation around him.
Obviously, he was overwhelmed by this incident. He could only try his best to keep the death toll to a minimum. Otherwise, even if he was the Secretary of Defense, he would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion. After all, Eric was released from a Pentagon prison. He has an unshirkable responsibility for escaping.
"Discuss terms with me?" Eric, who took back the equipment from the vault, looked down at Gaston on the ground and slowly descended.
"I remember when we were on the beach in Cuba, you had no intention of negotiating terms with me."
Eric flew in front of Gaston and said expressionlessly: "Why, when I reached your base camp, did you think of negotiating terms with me?"
"Mr. Eric, just ask for any compensation you want. As long as you put down the building, we can satisfy you." Under tremendous pressure, Gaston could only pretend to be calm.
"Okay, since you said so, let me put forward a few conditions."
Seeing the possibility of negotiation, Gaston immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that Eric would not accept any negotiation and directly provoke a war. In this case, their government would become very passive. However, the man holding the loudspeaker Gaston didn't see the sarcasm in Eric's eyes when he spoke.
"First of all, enact the Mutant Act. Mutants have higher powers than humans. Secondly, the U.S. federal government needs to transfer a state to mutants. In that state, mutants have their own legislative, executive and judicial powers. It Must be completely independent..."
"impossible!"
Before Eric could finish his words, Gaston immediately refused.
Whether it is the first condition or the second condition, this is a slap in the face of the U.S. federal government. If he really agrees, Gaston will be equivalent to a traitor, or even a traitor, and will be nailed to the United States and even the whole country. On the pillar of shame for mankind, instead of agreeing to the other party, it is better to break up with Eric directly.
"Mr. Eric, your conditions are not sincere. If you insist on doing so, then I think there is no need to continue the negotiation."
Gaston's voice gradually became colder, and he looked at Eric indifferently.
"Once the war begins, the United States will spare no effort to clean up the mutants. No matter how many people are sacrificed or how much financial and material resources are spent, our federal government will not hesitate!"
As Gaston's voice fell like a hammer, the atmosphere on the field instantly became extremely solemn. Everyone held their breath. It seemed that a real war was about to break out!
"Eric, I think your first condition can be changed." At this time, Mystique stood up and looked at Gaston and said: "Enact the Mutant Act, and we mutants are equal to humans."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mystique finished her topic, Eric in the air sneered: "Ridiculous request. In my opinion, as long as humans exist, this world can never be equal."
"Besides, our genes are far better than humans. This world will eventually belong to mutants!"
After that, in the horrified eyes of everyone, Eric spread his arms, and the metal products behind him turned their spears and pointed at everyone on the ground.
Just when everyone was desperate, a calm and powerful voice sounded from above!
"Eric, who gave you the courage to make you think you can represent all mutants."
The calm voice, like a sharp sword, cut through the despair in everyone's hearts. They all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw a tall figure in combat uniform and a fluttering red and white cloak standing under the sun, looking down at all living beings like a god! (End of this chapter)
