Was Magneto someone who didn't dare to take responsibility for his actions?
Of course not,
On the contrary, he had always seemed to be daring enough to take responsibility for many things.
He didn't mind letting others know his identity as a mutant,
He didn't mind letting everyone see Magneto's methods, and he never even minded emphasizing that he would use violence to suppress the ambitions of the human race.
So he denied that he had ever sent people to capture Issou,
Which meant that there was a high possibility that he hadn't done it.
But! Yes!
The problem was that Toad and Meatballs were indeed members of the Mutant Brotherhood, and they had also admitted that it was because of Magneto,
That was why they came to capture Issou.
So Magneto's denial, in Issou's view — —
He dared to do it but didn't dare to take responsibility!
"Why did they capture her?"
Hearing Magneto's words,
Charles glanced at him,
Then turned to look at the black-haired girl beside him and asked, "By the way,
Issou, why did they capture you? "
Just now, Issou only told him that Toad and Meatballs were sent by Magneto to capture her. As for the reason,
He didn't have time to ask, so now that he was asked by Magneto, Charles reacted — —
Hmm.
He didn't know why Magneto captured Issou.
"Let them speak for themselves."
Hearing Charles's question, Issou had no intention of telling him,
She pointed at Toad and Meatballs, whose mouths had been sealed by Strange somehow.
Then she emphasized another point,
"In case someone doesn't admit it."
When the black-haired girl said this, she also glanced at Magneto. So who was she referring to by "someone",
It was self-evident.
Magneto's attention was originally on Issou,
So how could he not see the look in her eyes just now?
Immediately, his face turned cold,
He was about to do something to Issou, but who knew that before he could do anything, the black-haired girl was like a snail, retracting into her shell as soon as she encountered any danger.
Of course, this was just a metaphor.
Not to mention that Issou didn't have a shell, even if she did, she would be smashed by Magneto. At this moment, for the black-haired girl, the safest and strongest shell was probably Charles.
So after saying that sentence just now, Issou suddenly, like a rabbit, rushed behind Charles and completely avoided Magneto's death gaze.
So the death stare that Magneto was supposed to look at Izzo suddenly fell on Charles. Professor X, who was known as the Holy Father, frowned and looked at his friend. He said, "Erik, Izzo is my friend."
What?
You're asking if Charles knew that Magneto was acting like this because of Issou's words and her meaningful look just now?
...
...
...
He had no idea what just happened.
Charles, who was standing on Issou's side, took the initiative to activate his temporary amnesia skill.
Magneto: "...???"
Charles really has a cat on the outside, right?!
Issou: "..."
So, it was not without reason that she decided to ask Charles to be the middleman.
Magneto, who had been Charles's best friend for many years, did not know what Issou was planning. When he heard Charles say this, he said in a deep voice, "I thought I was also your friend, Charles."
So, shouldn't he believe that he really had no reason to send Toad and Meatballs to capture Issou?
After all, as a mutant, why would he capture a human?
Did he want to torture her?
Stop fooling around.
According to Magneto's personality, he could have just thrown a football field at them and killed a lot of people. Why would he go through so much trouble?
"Indeed."
Charles nodded at Magneto. Of course, he knew who his friend was. He said, "That's why I asked Stephen to ask you to come over and clarify the matter."
After that, Charles turned to look at Strange. The Supreme Sorcerer, who specialized in opening doors (...), made a gesture to Toad and Meatballs. Their mouths, which could not open even when they were about to die, were suddenly able to speak.
"Magneto."
As soon as they could speak, Toad and Meatballs hurriedly called out to Magneto. Not only did they fail to kidnap Issou back to the Brotherhood, but they were also captured by Strange. They even implicated Magneto in a confrontation with them. The two mutants immediately felt that they had betrayed Magneto's trust.
The two of them lowered their heads in front of Magneto. "It's our fault."
Toad and Meatballs said this sentence very sincerely, but the more sincere they were, the more Charles and Meatballs looked at Magneto with a strange gaze —
If it really wasn't Magneto who sent them to catch Izu, shouldn't they deny/justify it as soon as they opened their mouths?
Magneto also thought of this, so at this moment, he was not in the mood to care about what Toad and Meatballs had done wrong. He only had one question. "Why did you capture him?"
As the leader of the Mutants Brotherhood, who was Magneto? Not to mention Charles and the others who were on good terms with him, even the humans who knew about him knew about him, let alone the members of the Brotherhood.
So, if Issou was a mutant, and Toad and Meatballs secretly planned to capture him back to the Brotherhood to please him or for the sake of the Brotherhood's great future, then even if they failed, Magneto would at most think that they were incompetent and spoiled things.
But now?
Magneto: "..."
He wanted to kick them out of the house after this matter was settled.
Meatballs and Toad did not know what Magneto was thinking. When they heard Magneto ask this question, the two did not care about whether they should apologize or not. They said to Magneto as if they had found a treasure, "Be a chef for the Brotherhood."
Magneto: "...???"
After hearing Toad and Meatballs say this sentence in unison, the big boss who would not bat an eyelid even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him was so stunned that he almost could not maintain the expression on his face.
To be honest, for the first time, he wondered if the members of the Brotherhood were mentally deficient.
"Tell me the truth."
Magneto tried to control his tone and said to Toad and Meatballs, "Don't do anything unnecessary."
That's right.
Magneto did think that Toad and Toad were lying and wanted to help him cover up something. However, he thought that he had done the right thing in this matter, so there was no need to lie at all.
However, Meatballs and Toad looked at each other. They were really telling the truth and did not do anything unnecessary.
"Magneto, we did not do anything unnecessary."
Toad shook his head at Magneto and said, "We did want her to be a chef for the Brotherhood, so we took her back."
After Toad finished speaking, Meatballs nodded vigorously like chicks pecking at rice to show their credibility. They said repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
Magneto: "..."
He did not need to wait for this matter to be resolved. He wanted to sweep them away right now! Land! Out! Door!
Did the Brotherhood not have a chef or did they not have a meal?!
Why did they kidnap a chef for no reason?!
To be honest, weren't they afraid of embarrassing themselves if word got out?!
Strange, who had not eaten Issou's Chinese food before, heard Toad and Meatballs insist that they wanted to take Issou back to the Brotherhood to be their chef. He could not help but sneer. He said, "Does the Brotherhood have someone who specializes in teaching acting? Their acting is really good. "
To be honest, Strange did not think it was strange that Toad and Toad were acting. After all, with the Brotherhood's current status, even if they really needed to hire a chef, why would they use such underhanded means?
Besides, who did not know that Magneto hated humans? Who knows, maybe even the cooks there are mutated humans.
However, after Charles, who had tasted Issou's Chinese food with Toad and Meatballs, heard them say this, unlike Magneto and Strange, he did not think that they were lying. Instead, he felt that —
That wasn't impossible.
Why was Clarice unwilling to come to Academy X?
Was it not because Issou made staff meals in "My Chinese Restaurant"?
Why were the twins glad that they did not join the Brotherhood?
Was it not because Issou made staff meals in "My Chinese Restaurant"?
Why were Phantom Cat and the others discussing whether to work at Issou's restaurant?
Was it not because Issou made staff meals in "My Chinese Restaurant"?
So if Toad and Meatballs really succeeded in taking Issou to the Brotherhood and successfully made her willingly stay as the Brotherhood's little chef …
Charles, "…"
He felt that the twins had changed their previous joy of joining the Brotherhood without hesitation.
Thinking of the food Issou made, Charles inexplicably thought of an image —
In the future, he would rely on chicken soup for the soul to recruit students.
In the future, Eric would rely on Issou's Manchu Han Imperial Feast to recruit students.
Charles, "…"
No matter how he thought about it, he did not seem to have much of a chance of winning.
With this thought in mind, Charles silently moved his feet. Originally, Issou hid behind Magneto to avoid his death stare. Now that Charles moved, he completely isolated Issou from Magneto.
"Charles!"
Seeing his move, Magneto could not help but ask in a deep voice, "Don't tell me you also believe their nonsense?"
Meatballs, "…"
Toad, "…"
This was so unfair.
When did they start talking nonsense?
"Is it really them who are spouting nonsense? Eric. "
Charles looked at Magneto, then shifted his gaze to Toad and Meatballs. He asked, "Let me ask you a question, when did you target Issou?"
Given that they are members of the Brotherhood, even if Magneto and Professor X have a good relationship, as Magneto's subordinates, Toad and Meatballs did not answer directly when they heard Charles's question, but looked at their boss for the first time.
To be honest, regardless of whether Magneto's intentions towards his mutants subordinates are pure or not, at least he does have the ability to make people loyal to him and work for him.
Magneto met the gazes of Toad and Meatballs and said with a cold face, "Speak."
Seeing that Magneto agreed, Toad said, "It's been several days. We were going to do it, but who knew that Wolverine and Deadpool went to 'My Chinese Restaurant' one after another, and Deadpool has been following her all the time. We have no idea where to start."
Issou, "…???"
So she had to thank Deadpool for pestering her these days?
Otherwise, Toad and Meatballs would have done something to her long ago, right?
"Yeah."
After Toad finished speaking, Meatballs half-confessed and half-complained, "If it weren't for Deadpool picking her up from work these days, and the twins being in 'My Chinese Restaurant', we would have done it long ago."
Not only were they unable to capture Issou back to the Mutants Brotherhood, but they also couldn't visit him.
It's so annoying.
Hearing what Toad and Meatballs said, not to mention Issou, even Magneto didn't know anything about this matter before. He only heard one keyword — —
Twins.
Magneto's brows suddenly frowned, but before he had time to speak, he heard Charles speak. He asked, "So you already knew that Wanda and Pietro were in 'My Chinese Restaurant'?"
Toad and Meatballs heard Charles's question and nodded honestly, "Yes."
"Very good."
After Charles got their answer, he nodded. He was still wondering why the members of the Brotherhood would pay attention to Issou. After all, although the Brotherhood has a stronghold in New York, it can be said to be thousands of miles away from Issou's "My Chinese Restaurant".
So even if the members of the Brotherhood go out to eat, it is unlikely that they will wander to Issou's place, unless it is really such a coincidence.
But the problem is, even if they really went to "My Chinese Restaurant" and tasted Issou's food, would ordinary people want to take her back to be their little chef?
Bruce "Extraordinary" Weyne: "…"
But if Magneto knew that Wanda and Pietro would rather stay in "My Chinese Restaurant" because of Issou's cooking skills, and if he knew that many superheroes (or supervillains) were particularly fond of Issou's cooking skills …
Charles: "…"
It's not like Eric wouldn't do something like this.
Magneto: "…"
Although he would do anything to recruit mutants back then, this time it really wasn't him, and — —
"Wait."
Magneto interrupted the conversation between Charles and the others, turned his head to look at Meatballs and the others, and asked, "You mean, you found the twins?"
Hearing this, the meatball and the toad nodded honestly. "Yes, we found it."
"Then why didn't anyone inform me?"
Magneto doesn't care if the purpose of Meatball and Toad capturing Izzo back to the Brotherhood is really because of her good cooking skills, and they want her to become their Brotherhood's little cook. What he cares about now is — —
Since they had already found the whereabouts of Wanda and Pietro, why! What! What! Why didn't anyone inform him?
Didn't he say that as long as the twins were found, he would immediately inform him?
Magneto was annoyed by this matter at the moment, and Izzo, who was present, was also confused by his annoyance.
Wait a minute.
Magneto didn't know that Wanda and Pietro were in "my Chinese restaurant"?
The black-haired girl had always thought that Magneto knew that Wanda and Pietro, the mutant twins, were his children and was angry that they were working as waiters in her restaurant. She was so shocked by the sudden revelation that she almost couldn't react.
Because Charles had just moved, Issou was tightly blocked behind him. She originally wanted to move out, but now she was so shocked that she stayed behind him.
It was not for anything else, but mainly to wait for her to digest the fact that she had just learned.
It was just that before Issou had time to figure things out, she heard Strange say, "Charles, instead of asking him (Magneto), why don't you ask Issou? She should know why they came to catch her."
Issou: "…???"
Wait a minute.
She didn't know.
She originally knew, but after seeing Magneto, she realized that she didn't know. So don't say that she knew, she didn't know.
Issou thought so in her heart. Charles, who was in front of her, suddenly moved away, turned his head to look at her, and asked, "Issou, do you know?"
Issou: "…"
Mother hen ~
If things were really as Issou imagined, then of course she knew, and she could say it without hesitation. But the problem was — —
Magneto didn't know that Wanda and Pietro were in "my Chinese restaurant"?
Did this mean that he didn't know that Wanda and Pietro were his children?
Under such circumstances, no matter how stupid Issou was, there was no way she would say what she had just imagined. It was not that she didn't want the father and daughter to be reunited, but considering Magneto's identity, she felt that it was better not to talk about this matter here.
With this thought in mind, Issou met Charles's gentle blue eyes and couldn't help but glance at Strange with a little resentment in her eyes — —
She felt that her mother might have offended this Supreme Mage, so he was taking revenge on her daughter, which was her.
Strange: "…???"
In fact, Strange didn't mean to make things difficult for Issou. It was mainly because after he appeared, he heard the black-haired girl ask Meatballs and Toad a question — —
Is it because of Magneto, Wanda, and Pietro that you came to catch me?
At that time, Issou asked this question, and Meatballs and Toad tacitly agreed. Although Strange did feel that they seemed to be contradicting each other at that time, since Toad and Meatballs said that Magneto did not admit to it, she might as well ask the other party — — Issou.
"Emmm …"
Since her original assumption was not valid, Issou had to find another excuse, but to be honest — —
Apart from the possibility that she had just imagined, she couldn't imagine why Magneto would send Meatballs and Toad to catch her.
Issou: "…"
So why did she have to go through so many things that tested her brain?
Seeing that Charles and the others were looking at her, the black-haired girl had no choice but to look at Magneto and apologize to him in her heart. Then she opened her mouth and said, "The reason I guessed at the beginning was exactly the same as what they said."
Instead of making things up on the spot, it was better to let her pick up the cold while she was cold. After all, just now Charles seemed to … Well, he seemed to have believed the reason that Toad and Meatballs said.
Charles: "…"
At first, it seemed.
But now, it was confirmed.
Charles and Magneto had been good friends for many years, so of course he knew what kind of person he was. If it was another chef, he might not even believe it, but Issou was different …
He thought about the first time he ate Issou's spicy fish in chili oil, and the various delicacies after that.
Charles completely believed that she was indeed a girl with magical powers in both her hands. She could make all the ingredients taste so good that they could drive away all negative emotions, leaving only beauty and happiness behind.
Think about it, how many people who ate Issou's Chinese food would lose their integrity one after another? Even Wolverine and Logan were no exception, let alone Magneto.
Besides, Issou was in Academy X back then, but The Avengers shamelessly came to Academy X to fight for Issou. So, what was so strange about Magneto doing something so illogical because of Issou's Chinese food?
Magneto: "…"
I'm not.
I'm not.
Don't talk nonsense.
Magneto, who had never eaten Issou's Chinese food, nor did he lose his integrity or his image, looked at Charles with a look that said, "You're so disappointed that you want to eat all the good food by yourself." Magneto …
