"Damn! Have mercy, Professor. They need a hope, a hope of survival. And it can only be pinned on you!"

Stark pleaded desperately, with him as a person and his current status, this is something that is hard to imagine.But for the mission and responsibility he shouldered, he had to do so.Charles can empathize with such difficulties and hardships.And it was precisely because he understood Stark's reason for doing this and his difficulties that he could no longer say any words of rejection.

Destroying the personality of a proud person is a secondary matter.The crux of the matter is that his refusal will affect the lives of countless people.And that's the most embarrassing thing.

Charles, who grew up in a favorable environment, did not experience the kind of tragic past that most of his compatriots have experienced. Even if there were hardships, his hardships occurred on his personal standpoint, not on race position.

This makes the biggest difference between him and his good friends, that is, he does not have such an unforgettable hatred for human beings.

Without hatred, naturally it would be impossible to ignore death.People are sympathetic and empathetic creatures. When he can clearly realize what kind of pain and suffering others are going through, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye.

But, does he really have the ability to save them, save the human beings in this world?

Regarding this point, Charles himself was full of doubts in his heart.At the moment when Dormammu appeared before, he could really feel how powerful Dormammu was.That kind of evil and chaotic spiritual power made him almost have the terrifying illusion of staring into the bottomless dark abyss.

Unable to fight, this is his truest feeling.And after trying his best to protect himself and the compatriots around him, he became more and more affirmed of this.

After all, the strength of the mutants is still based on the fact that their eyes only stay in this small corner of the earth.It's like there is no tiger in the mountain, but the monkey is called the king.When there is no comparison, you can still be defiant.Once there is a clear comparison, it will be immediately returned to its original shape.

Perhaps in Stark's eyes, Charles is the only way to break the situation and their hope.But only Charles himself knows that he may not be able to do everything Stark expects.

If this is barely achieved, then there is nothing to say, which can not only satisfy Stark, but also give himself an explanation.But if you can't do it, let's not talk about whether you can have a clear conscience, just from Stark, I'm afraid there will be the possibility of turning against each other.

There have never been many tragedies in this world caused by people who fell from hope to despair.When a person reaches that point, he really can do anything.Charles didn't want to test Stark on this kind of issue because he knew that the most unbearable thing in the human heart is actually the test.

It would be the best solution to resolutely refuse on the pretext of lack of ability.Being in Huiyao City, even if Stark had any complaints, there was nothing he could do about it.Charles has already figured out the joints, and he really intends to do so in his heart.But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly let out a long sigh, and finally said these words.

"I'm not sure, Mr. Stark. You should know that, after all, I'm just an old man, and my physical condition makes it difficult for me to do what I can't do. And What you are asking for now is something like this. I can't give you any guarantees...I can only say, do my best."

"Of course, of course." Finally getting the answer he wanted, Stark naturally promised and promised in a hurry. "Thank you very much, you have done me a great favor, Professor Charles. I assure you that once order is restored in this country, I will definitely repay you, I swear."

"Let's talk about repayment later. I just hope that one day, I won't regret what I did today."

Regarding Charles' concerns, Stark just wanted to say, how is it possible?But when he thought of the dirty things the US government had done to mutants, it was difficult for him to open his mouth again.

Professor Charles can also be regarded as a figure who has made great contributions to this country.Among other things, it was his contribution to prevent the two superpowers from breaking out in a nuclear war during the Cold War.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that the Congressional Medal would be hung on his chest.But just because he was a mutant and a mutant who was a huge threat, not only did he fail to get the honor he deserved, but he was also treated with fear and unfairness.

From the implementation of the Mutant Sanctions Act to the military's x-weapon program, there is no intention of treating a mutant like him as a human being.Not to mention that this country also launched an extermination war against mutants.With such a premise, no matter how thick-skinned Stark is, he may not be able to say anything about the credibility of the government.

Although that was the problem of the former government, the former government was also the US government.Sitting in this position, it is impossible for him to say that he has nothing to do with it.So at this point, he is definitely going to take the blame.And it is almost doomed to bear such a blame. It is far more reliable for him to keep silent at this time than to promise loudly with empty teeth.

They are probably tired of hearing the lies of politicians. In comparison, actual actions are probably more convincing.This is a matter for the future, and how to deal with the conflict between mutants and this country, Stark already has an idea in his mind.

Of course, this is not something to be concerned about right now.The most important thing right now is to see how far the mutants can go.And all this can only depend on Charles' ability.

Charles still has some skills, after all, the title of the most powerful mind manipulator on earth did not come out of thin air.He does have such strength. At his peak, he can even control the entire human mind by himself.

But as he himself said, he is old and his body is no longer what it used to be.If he was able to intimidate the entire world through mind control back then, then now, at best, he can only do half of what he did back then, or even less.

Aging is the shackles that death uses to bind all living beings, and few people can escape from this.Charles wasn't that special yet, so naturally he couldn't escape this vicious circle.However, having said that, it doesn't mean that he has no ability at all.After all, the most outstanding talent of human beings is to use tools, and if it is with the help of some external forces, Stark's request will not be difficult for him.

He also made up his mind in his heart, and then immediately gave orders to Ororo beside him.

"Push me to the basement, Ororo. I think it's time to use the Psychic Amplifier."

"I don't quite understand, professor. Why did you agree to Mr. President's request? Judging from what you said before, you can completely refuse him, can't you?"

Come, Ororo has been by his side, learning how to take his place and manage this city of mutants.And until now, Ororo has been a little short of fire after all.

Just like now, she couldn't understand Professor Charles' behavior.Obviously he had declined Stark so politely before, why did he still choose to agree to his request in the end?She couldn't figure it out, so while pushing Charles' wheelchair, she asked him for advice.

Ororo lacks spirituality in this regard, which is what Charles is most worried about.What a qualified leader should learn most is to know when to compromise and when not to do so.Sizing up the situation is what a leader, especially a dovish leader like them, needs most.And Ororo just doesn't have this factor, she is too straightforward, so that she can't learn to be flexible.

Whenever this happened, Charles missed his other student.Qin Grey, a mutant with psychic abilities like him, is actually the best candidate to be a leader.

What psychic powers give them is the talent of being able to see through people's hearts, and with this talent, they can always be able to do a job with ease when facing those opponents with ulterior motives.For so many years, he was able to run his own mutant school in New York under a lot of fear. This talent is absolutely indispensable.

In his original vision, Qin Grey and Scott, the two students he was most proud of.One relies on spiritual talent to gain insight into people's hearts, and the other relies on its own executive power to control them as a whole. When they are combined, it is almost inevitable that they will be able to push the mutant school to an unprecedented peak. It can only exist in his imagination.

Whether it's Qin Grey's parting ways with them, or Scott's missteps, it's the pain that he can hardly let go of.But under such pain, he had to cheer up and think about the future of their race.

Ororo is the only student he can rely on, and the only student he feels he can entrust himself with.Others either have no aspirations in this area, or have no talent in this area at all.Although Ororo has always felt a little bit worse, she can still make it up to a certain extent.This is the same as polishing iron into a tool, as long as the effort is deep enough, you can still see a little bit of fineness.

He thinks so, so he always spares no effort in Ororo's teaching.Just like now, Ororo didn't understand why he chose to do this, so he carefully dissected all his thoughts to her from beginning to end.

"I know what you don't understand, Ororo. You don't know why I choose to compromise, and it's still on such a thankless thing, right?"

"Yes, Professor. We don't need to compromise with humans any more, do we?"

Ororo nodded, his expression was full of disgust and rejection of so-called human beings.Seeing her expression like this, Charles could only sigh and say this to her.

"Don't forget what I told you once, don't let your subjective emotions dominate your judgment. I know you have always been concerned about what humans do, and I can understand your thoughts. But don't forget , they are still the masters of this world after all, and on the premise that we are not fully accepted by them, we have to deal with them. Helping them as much as possible is a very appropriate way, isn't it ?”

"But our identities are different now. We live here and are protected by that person. Human beings can't do anything to us, and we don't need to look at their faces anymore. If this is the case, why do we have to To please those despicable humans?"

Ororo looked a little excited. Obviously, she couldn't easily let go of what humans did.

This is normal.I think she was a simple and passionate person back then.For those human beings, for their lives and property, she has embarked on the journey more than once.For this reason, she even made enemies with her compatriots, but what was the result she got?No one thinks highly of them, and they are also part of the war that humans wage against them.

Such treatment was enough to quench the blood in her heart and make her feel worthless for what she had done.

Humans don't deserve what they do.She believed so firmly, and with such a concept, she certainly couldn't accept Charles' behavior that was biased towards humans.

It can be said that if the respect for Charles had not been engraved in her bones, she would really think that Charles had lost his mind and made such a stupid move.And is Charles out of his mind?The answer is of course no.Although he was old, he was not old enough to be so stupid.Since he chose this way, he naturally has his reasons.

"Do you really think that we can sit back and relax now that we live in this own city and enjoy that person's protection? Ororo, use your brain and think about it carefully. Think about this city The changes that have occurred in the past few years. If you can really see what kind of changes are hidden behind this, you should understand that the peace here is not eternal after all."

The first thousand 860 six chapters are difficult and the road is rough

"You mean we no longer have that man's protection?"

There was a little panic in Ororo's voice, because what Charles had constructed for her was obviously a situation that she could not imagine and could hardly accept

What kind of past did the mutants go through to get this peace today? This is something only they can understand.The sacrifice in the middle is unimaginable, and it is precisely because of this that they cherish everything in front of them even more.It can be said that if someone wants to destroy their hard-won peaceful life today, then the entire mutants will probably stand up and fight him desperately.

Of course, things like this don't usually happen.Because after seeing how Zhou Yi sheltered mutants with an unrivaled attitude and won the war with the US government, most people have already given up their thoughts on mutants.Coupled with the fact that mutants are only living in a corner of this world and are self-sufficient, they will naturally not think about jumping out and asking for trouble.

They can sit back and relax, which is what most people in this world think.Even among the mutants, they almost hold the same concept.The peace and tranquility of the flourishing flowers are enough to cover the eyes of most people, but as the leader of the mutants, Professor Charles always sees a little further and thinks a little more than these ordinary people.

That's right, in this land protected by the god of the world, the mutants can indeed enjoy peace and rest easy.But there is a premise that the gods of the world have always protected this land and protected their mutants.

And here lies the crux of the problem.Although the relevant news has not been made public, and most people are still kept in the dark, anyone with a little bit of analytical ability can draw such a conclusion from the recent trends, that is, their patrons, The god in the world is no longer in this city, nor in this world.

Where did he go?This is the problem no one knows about.How long it will be before he returns is also unanswered.Maybe tomorrow, maybe a few years, maybe even, he will never come back!

This is not impossible. Although it is impossible to imagine what kind of situation will make the god of the world fall into the sand, but the universe is so big, who can be sure that such a thing will not happen?
