Black Soul Invasion

Chapter 229 X Big Gift Package

Ashes went to the dinner as promised.

Although it is said to represent the X-Men, only Professor X and Qin are accompanying him, which is more like a family dinner than a business.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Professor X first expressed his gratitude to Ashes for saving his life on behalf of Magneto, and then got into the main topic.

"Mr. Ashes." Professor X asked: "What do you think about the issue of mutants? Do you think mutants are the future of mankind, or are they just a flash in the pan?"

"I don't know, I'm not good at genetics, and Yongzhen has always been responsible for the research on mutants." Ashes said frankly: "If you need, I can bring the research report to you." Take a look."

Professor X shook his head: "Mr. Ashes, I am open and honest, and I hope you can answer my question directly."

Ashes asked back: "Is my answer important?"

"Very important!"

"why?"

"Because you are the ruler of New York, and you are rapidly expanding your power to the world. You may be another Captain America, or you may be the next Red Skull, but whatever you are, your opinion matters It's very important, that will determine whether the mutants survive or not, so I have to ask clearly!"

Ashes smiled: "Professor, you have always been a smart person, but the biggest shortcoming of smart people is that they habitually think too much. I am neither the next Captain America nor another Red Skull, and decided to mutate It's never me who survives, but the mutant himself!"

Professor X was taken aback: "You mean...?"

"What I mean is that mutants are neither noble nor lowly. In some people's eyes they are the future of mankind, in some people's eyes they are disgusting freaks, but in my case, they are ordinary Citizens. They abide by the laws and regulations I made, then I will protect them; if they think they are self-righteous, then I will eradicate them mercilessly. Do you understand?"

Professor X was a bit unexpected, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you covet the power of mutants? Don't you fear this power?"

Ashes shook his head helplessly: "Coveting? You should have gotten some news from the first machine experiment a few days ago. With that kind of combat power, do you think I will still covet the power of mutants? As for fear... Again, the power of mutants is not enough to threaten me, so fear is meaningless. Professor, to put it bluntly, there are strong mutants, but most of them have inexplicable abilities. This group may be special, but it is far less powerful than you imagined!"

Professor X was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Okay, very good." Professor X said with some joy: "In this way, I can safely hand over the X-Men to you."

"..." Ashes was speechless for a while, and said helplessly, "Are you sure? I've already said that mutants don't have special privileges with me."

"Of course, I heard it very clearly." Professor X said with a smile: "Mr. Ash, Eric and I went through life and death again and again, so that he became a terrorist and I became a cripple. You know what our real pursuit is ?"

"Let mutants replace humans?" Ashes asked tentatively.

"Haha, of course not." Professor X laughed, and said with a little melancholy: "We are pursuing fairness!"

"So it is." Ashes suddenly realized: "It seems that you are more ambitious than I thought."

Absolute fairness does not exist, especially in modern society.

Professor X smiled slightly, and did not deny the statement of ambition, but said: "What mutants need is not privilege, but fairness, so your answer is very much in line with the answer in my heart, I hope I can hand over the X-Men to you .”

"What about you?" Ashes asked back.

"I'm old." Professor X said: "Before I was imprisoned by Stryker. Although I was rescued in the end, my body is not as good as before. Logan also chose to live an ordinary life. Bless him from the bottom of my heart; and Scott... since he was injured, he has closed himself up, but at least he will not do extreme things anymore, which is also a kind of comfort; Ororo and T'Challa Her wedding is approaching, and her status as queen after marriage makes it impossible for her to act as she pleases; as for Qin, Qin is an excellent assistant, but her character is too gentle, and she cannot take on the important task of leading the entire X-Men .So after much deliberation, I must find a new leader for the X-Men, and the answer just now shows that you are the most suitable candidate!"

Ashes smiled wryly: "Thank you for seeing it. But with all due respect, the people you just mentioned get married, get married, become queens, and the X-Men are completely empty shells. I still have more time to take over after I take over." What's the point?"

"It means a lot." Professor X said with a smile: "You should understand that the X-Men have never been a special operations team, but a flag. With it, you will become justified in dealing with mutant affairs!"

"Sounds very good." Ashes shrugged: "I don't seem to have any reason to refuse."

Professor X said confidently, "Of course you didn't."

"Okay, then I'll accept it." Ashes didn't show any pretense, and said without hesitation: "Taking over the X-Men is indeed very helpful to me, and I admit that I was persuaded by you. Professor, your negotiation skills are quite brilliant."

"Of course." Professor X blinked, "I'm quite good at making deals with the government."

"So it was the federal government before, but now it's me?" Ashes joked, "Professor, you're really at your wit's end."

"No way, people will become cunning when they get old, and it's an advantage to play with the wind." After finishing speaking, Professor X said seriously: "Mr. Ash, I still have one thing to ask, it's about Ophelia. "

"Ophelia, Ms. Viper?" Ashes asked curiously, "What happened to her?"

"I hope you can release her." Professor X said: "Frankly speaking, I was helped by her once when I was young, so I want to plead for her."

Ashes didn't comment, but said: "Professor, you have to know that she is also one of the main culprits that caused the tragedy in Tokyo."

"I know, but executing her won't redeem anything. Besides, she was threatened by Alexander Pierce, not voluntarily. I talked to her once, and it can be seen that she has long since lost approval of Hydra She is also willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. If she surrenders, it will undoubtedly bring great help to us in eliminating Hydra, what do you think?"

"Professor, have you considered the feelings of the families of the victims in Tokyo when you said these words?"

"Yes, so I donated two-thirds of my family property for the reconstruction of Tokyo and humanitarian aid for the victims." Professor X asked Qin to take out a donation certificate and said seriously: "I know this is shameless , but accepting Ophelia will avoid more deaths and injuries in the future, so someone must bear the shamelessness. If it is you, I think I can understand."

Of course Ashes can understand, no one understands the necessity of darkness better than him who is a dark thing.

"Okay, I agree to release Viper. But as a price, she must tell everything she knows and be under your supervision. You will be responsible for any of her actions in the future!"

"No problem, I accept!"

The tense conversation between the two ended, and once again returned to a happy and harmonious conversation.

After discussing some humanities and philosophical propositions, Ashes got up to leave.

When he walked out of the gate, Magneto was already standing here waiting for him.

The previous encounter made Lao Wan hunched over and looked ten years older. He nodded when he saw Ashes as a greeting, and asked, "Charles handed over the X-Men to you?"

Ashes hummed.

"Very well, we old guys will support you." Lao Wan said: "But the current X-Men is already an empty shell, are you interested in recruiting some new players, I just have a few candidates to recommend. "

Ashes raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"

Old Wan let out a long sigh, and said awkwardly, "My sons and daughters..."
