Whether it was Lorna..,
Or John. They were between Academy X and the Brotherhood..,
They were actually biased towards Academy X.
After all, compared to hating humans..,
Choosing Magneto to curb violence with violence, Professor X's philosophy of peaceful coexistence with humans was more suitable for teaching the little mutants.
It was precisely because of this reason..,
So after getting to know the Straker siblings..,
After knowing their family situation..,
Lorna and the others felt that it was better to hand them over to Professor X.
However, John noticed that they had recently been targeted and confirmed to be members of the Brotherhood. This gave Lorna and the others a headache.
As a last resort..,
Lorna had no choice but to let John and the others set off some smoke bombs to confuse the members of the Brotherhood who were targeting them. She brought the Straker siblings to "My Chinese Restaurant".
However, Lorna probably never expected..,
She had just brought Lauren and Andy to look for Issou when the big boss of the Mutants Brotherhood, Magneto, appeared in "My Chinese Restaurant".
"What the hell!"
Lorna, who turned her head under Issou's hint, saw Magneto outside "My Chinese Restaurant". She couldn't help but curse in a low voice. "Could it be that Marcus and the others have been exposed?"
Obviously..,
Lorna didn't think that Magneto would just appear here,
After all, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental. It was simply impossible to believe that it was just a coincidence.
That's right.
She didn't believe it either.
If Issou knew what Lorna was thinking, she would definitely agree with him.
But compared to Lorna..,
The black-haired girl had a second guess,
For example..,
Could Magneto be here for Wanda and Pietro?
Thinking of what happened in Academy X yesterday, Issou did not forget that Magneto had already learned from Toad and Meatballs that Wanda and Pietro were in "My Chinese Restaurant".
Considering Magneto's obsession with the twins, Issou felt that it was not impossible for him to personally come to "My Chinese Restaurant" the day after "cleaning up the house" to recruit the siblings.
Uh..
Of course, in addition to that, Issou also thought of a third guess, for example..
Magneto was planning to settle accounts with her or something.
The black-haired girl could still clearly remember the murderous look on Magneto's face after she followed Toad's words and successfully put the blame on him yesterday.
Issou had no doubt that if it weren't for the fact that Charles was there at the time and that he firmly protected her, Magneto would not have minded killing her.
After all, for Magneto, killing her was just a small matter that could be easily done with a flick of his finger.
"Issou, what should we do now?"
The twins and Clarice had been repeatedly warned by Charles not to let Magneto brainwash them and bring them back to the Brotherhood.
Yeah.
Charles roughly meant that as long as Magneto brainwashed them, they should just think, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen."
Magneto: "…???"
Therefore, when Clarice and the twins saw Magneto, they immediately subconsciously leaned toward Issou.
It was strange. Among the seven people present, six were mutants, and only Issou was an ordinary person with no abilities. However, the twins could find a sense of security around him.
Issou: "…"
No kidding.
It must be because the Chinese food she made was delicious.
In fact, this was indeed the case. After all, Clarice and the twins had seen with their own eyes a lot of big bosses kneeling in front of Issou's cooking, so they strangely felt a lot of security from it.
When Issou heard their question, he looked at Clarice and asked, "Can you open a portal to Academy X?"
"It's too far."
When she heard Issou's words, Clarice shook her head with a troubled look on her face. She said, "It's not safe at all."
It must be known that Clarice's ability couldn't be used casually. If she didn't have enough confidence to open the portal, not only would she not be able to safely send people to the other side of the portal, but the unstable energy in the portal would also directly shatter them.
In this case, it was better to fall into the hands of Magneto. At least they would not be crushed for the time being.
"Are we going to fight him head-on?"
Andy looked at Lorna and the others. As a mutant who had just awakened his mutant ability, he could not fully control his ability. He would only explode when he was emotional.
But now, because his identity as a mutant was exposed, coupled with the sudden appearance of Magneto, Andy's emotions became unstable.
"Andy, calm down."
Lauren quickly reached out and grabbed Andy's hand with a worried look on her face, but she calmly reminded her brother. She said, "It's not the worst yet. Don't scare yourself."
"How about I go and take Magneto away?"
Pietro was the only male in the group. He said, "Take him away first, we'll talk about the rest later."
Issou thought about Pietro's idea. It was indeed feasible. Even if Magneto had a way to fly with the help of his mutant ability, he would definitely not be as fast as Pietro.
Therefore, if Pietro used his ability to take Magneto away from "My Chinese Restaurant", they could take advantage of the time when Magneto returned and contact Charles and the others. Then, they could use the Nightwalker's ability to take them to Academy X.
In fact, when Issou heard Lorna asking for her help to send the Straker siblings to Academy X or to call Charles, she was a little curious why Lorna did not make the call herself.
After all, with the help of Marcus and John, she could send Lauren and Andy to "My Chinese Restaurant". Therefore, she would definitely have the time to call Charles and ask the Nightwalker to pick them up.
But now that the black-haired girl thought about it, she felt that it was a little too natural. According to what she knew, Charles learned about Lorna and the others at "My Chinese Restaurant" and wanted to invite them to join Academy X, but they rejected him.
Charles was not as stubborn as Magneto when it came to the mutants he was interested in. Therefore, after knowing that Lorna and the others had enough ability to protect themselves and had no intention of joining Academy X, he did not force them. Instead, he chose to tell them that if they changed their minds or needed any help, they could contact him.
However, Issou took Lorna's personality into consideration and probably did not contact Charles after that. After all, they were not as young as Wanda and Pietro, and they were not as lonely as Clarice.
Therefore, Lorna and the others probably did not know the situation of the mutants in Academy X. Otherwise, they would not have chosen such an unnecessary method.
However, since things had developed to this point, there was no point in saying more. The idea of Pietro using his mutant ability to temporarily take Magneto away from "My Chinese Restaurant" was indeed feasible, so Issou and the others agreed.
However, perhaps because Magneto was one step ahead of them, he had already seen through their plan. Before Pietro could move, he was "frozen" by Magneto.
"Pietro?"
Seeing that Pietro did not move after putting on the goggles, Wanda glanced at him with a puzzled expression.
"I can't move, Wanda."
Pietro felt that his body was out of his control, as if he was frozen. Other than his mouth, the only parts of his body that he could move were his eyes.
Seeing that Pietro could not move at all, Lauren pulled Andy closer to Issou and the others. It was obvious that Magneto was behind this.
Therefore, when Magneto pushed the door open and walked in, he saw a bunch of puppies huddled together. They all stared at him with vigilant and alert eyes, as if they would pounce on him and bark at him if he showed any signs of attacking.
Compared to Issou and the others, Magneto felt like laughing. He said, "It seems that I came at the right time today."
The leader of the Mutants Brotherhood naturally did not care about the reactions of the puppies like Issou and the others. His eyes swept across Lorna and the others one by one. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.
Lorna and the others: "…"
Why did he look like he had found a treasure?
Issou: "…"
Did he not find a treasure?
This was a nest of puppies.
The black-haired girl saw the expression on Magneto's face. Even if he did not show the slightest hint of a smile, considering his deep love for the mutants, she felt that the little girl in his heart was probably laughing with her hands on her hips.
In fact —
It was true.
As Lorna had guessed, Magneto did not come to "My Chinese Restaurant" because the members of the Brotherhood noticed the smoke grenades thrown by Marcus and the others, so they came here.
It was also not like Issou had guessed that he came to "My Chinese Restaurant" to recruit Wanda and Pietro, or to settle accounts with Issou.
Emmmm …
Although Issou had guessed two possibilities and Magneto wanted to do both, his real purpose of coming to "My Chinese Restaurant" today was to taste Issou's cooking.
Don't get me wrong, Magneto did not suddenly become a foodie, but because of what happened yesterday, Magneto really wanted to figure out —
What was it that made his subordinates lose their minds?
Originally, after hearing what Toad and Meatballs said yesterday, Magneto's first reaction was whether they had betrayed him. Otherwise, why would they inexplicably blame him?
But after returning to the Brotherhood, under the repeated explanations of Toad and Meatballs, Magneto, who was burning with anger, calmed down a little.
He could suspect that Toad and Meatballs had betrayed him, but what about Charles's reaction?
Magneto carefully thought back and found that when he felt that Toad and Meatballs' words were particularly outrageous and absurd, Charles was actually done for! Completely! Believed! Believed! Believed!
Just like how Charles understood Magneto, Magneto also understood Charles very well. He knew very well that although his best friend would sometimes play a little prank, under such circumstances, there was no need for him to cooperate with Toad and Meatballs to wrongly accuse him.
Then the question was — —
Since he was not wrongly accused, did it mean that what Toad and Meatballs said was true?
It was precisely for this reason that Magneto appeared at "My Chinese Restaurant" the day after one of the darkest days of his life.
To be honest, Magneto did not doubt that Issou could cook Chinese food. Otherwise, he would not have become the head chef of "My Chinese Restaurant".
Similarly, he did not doubt that Issou's Chinese food tasted great. Otherwise, Toad and Meatballs would not praise Issou's Chinese food so much. Charles would also not believe that he would really let Toad and Meatballs kidnap him back to the Brotherhood because of Issou's cooking skills.
But that was it.
Magneto came to "My Chinese Restaurant" this time to let himself personally experience how good Issou's Chinese food was, so good that his subordinates would "betray" him and his best friend would "misunderstand" him.
It was just that Magneto never expected that he would gain so much from coming to "My Chinese Restaurant" this time.
The reason why the mutants such as Polaris Lorna and Thunderbird John attracted Magneto's attention was that Lorna had the same mutant ability as him.
Magneto was very clear about how powerful his ability was, so how could he not be happy when a little mutant like Lorna with the same ability as him appeared?
He was very confident that as long as Polaris had enough potential, then he would have a way to train her into the second "Magneto".
What?
Was Magneto not worried that Lorna would be like Wanda and refuse to accept the recruitment of the Brotherhood?
…
…
…
No bragging.
Magneto was really not afraid because he had enough confidence to convince Lorna to join the Brotherhood.
It was precisely because of this reason that Magneto chose to let the members of the Brotherhood keep an eye on Lorna while he came to "My Chinese Restaurant" to deal with some matters.
However, it turned out that —
When luck came, it was really unstoppable.
The other people in "My Chinese Restaurant" probably had the opposite idea to Magneto. Seeing that he just stood there without speaking, the hot-tempered Lorna couldn't help but frown and ask directly, "What are you doing here? Magneto. "
Probably because the number of mutants cured him, Magneto, who was now in a good mood, didn't care about Lorna's question. Well, part of the reason was because of his relationship with Lorna.
Magneto was always treated like this by Lorna, so he didn't feel angry at all. Instead, he said, "Isn't this a Chinese restaurant? Is there a rule that mutants can't come here? "
Bunch of puppies: "…???"
Was he so surprised that he was incoherent?
Or were they so scared that they were hallucinating?
After everyone, including Lorna, who just questioned Magneto, heard Magneto's words, the expression on their faces instantly became muddled.
Magneto didn't care whether what he said was unbelievable or not. After he finished speaking, he walked directly to the empty table closest to him and sat down.
Seeing that Issou and the others were still frozen, Magneto frowned, "What? Don't you know how to serve your customers? "
When everyone heard Magneto's words, except for Pietro, it was as if someone had released their pressure points. None of them were as stunned as before. Even so, the look of disbelief on their faces did not dissipate.
"You're here... to patronize?"
Although Issou still found it hard to believe, he felt that Magneto didn't need to lie at all. If he wanted to settle the score with Lorna and the twins, all he had to do was make a move.
Anyway, Charles wasn't here right now.
Hearing Issou's question, Magneto looked up at her, then snorted lightly. He didn't forget what happened yesterday. Although the culprits who caused him to be framed were Toad and Meatballs, Issou was also involved.
Of course, Magneto also didn't forget that because of Issou, Charles scolded him again and again yesterday.
Facing Toad and Meatballs, who were mutated humans, Magneto didn't even have a good expression, let alone Issou, who was a human.
Seeing such a traitor in the nest of little Mutants, Magneto inexplicably wanted to sneak her out as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, so that the more he looked at her, the more he disliked her.
"Right now, yes, but if the Chinese food you make later doesn't suit your taste, then I won't just patronize."
Magneto didn't dare to cause trouble for Issou in front of Charles, but now that Charles wasn't here, he directly threatened the black-haired girl.
Hearing Magneto's threat, Issou raised one of his eyebrows slightly. Logically speaking, if it was a fight, she might admit defeat, but when it came to Chinese food...
The black-haired girl indicated that she wasn't afraid.
"Oh."
Issou, who was originally worried that Magneto would cause trouble, breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was coming. She glanced at Pietro next to her and said, "Since you're here to patronize, then let go of Pietro."
Hearing Issou's words, Magneto glanced at Pietro, who was frozen in place, and then released his control.
"Phew."
When Pietro, who could finally move, pushed the goggles on his head, he silently glanced at Magneto.
Originally, Magneto thought that Pietro would play some tricks when he wasn't paying attention. After all, when they met before, Pietro ran away with Wanda right under his nose.
It was precisely because Pietro had done this before that Magneto immediately restrained Pietro after he appeared at the entrance of "My Chinese Restaurant".
What surprised Magneto was that after he let go of Pietro, he didn't intend to play any tricks.
Not only Pietro, but even Lorna, Lauren, and Andy, who were not waiters at "My Chinese Restaurant", did not intend to leave. Instead, they pulled their chairs and sat at another table.
Magneto glanced at Lorna, Lauren, and Andy who sat down. He then glanced at Clarice and the twins, who put away their vigilance and treated him like an ordinary diner. He showed a rare look of approval.
He said, "I thought you would take the opportunity to run away."
Did Magneto want to recruit this group of mutants?
Of course.
But after what happened to Toad and Meatballs yesterday, Magneto suddenly felt that even if he wanted to recruit mutants, he should slightly raise the threshold.
Otherwise, Magneto was inexplicably worried that the Troublemaker Brotherhood would become the Funny Brotherhood.
And Lorna's attitude and reaction at this time made Magneto very happy. First of all, they didn't make a meaningless stupid move, because if they made the slightest move, he could suppress them all by himself.
Secondly, they were quite brave. Although Magneto didn't know why they were so wary of him just now, they were so relaxed now.
Wanda and the others: "…"
[No.]
[You'll find out soon enough.]
"You think too much."
Hearing Magneto's words, Lorna's lips twitched, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Although she didn't often stay in "My Chinese Restaurant" like the twins and saw all the bosses kneel in front of Issou's Chinese food, she knew how attractive Issou's Chinese food was.
So since Magneto was not afraid of death and came to jump into the pit, why should Lorna leave?
Seeing the smile on Lorna's face, Magneto inexplicably felt a bit strange, but before he had time to think, he felt a strong smell of food approaching from afar.
Before Magneto could look away from Lorna, he saw Pietro bring the first dish he ordered to the table.
The brownish-red, glossy spicy chicken looked daunting just by looking at its appearance. That was because the chili mixed with the diced chicken was so red that one could imagine how spicy it was without tasting it.
It stands to reason that since Magneto had already imagined how spicy this plate of spicy chicken was, he shouldn't have tasted it, but its pungent aroma drilled into his nose with the lingering heat and suddenly invaded all his consciousness.
When Magneto reacted, he had already picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of spicy chicken, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The fried diced chicken was bitten, and the crispy golden yellow surface was suddenly bitten open, and the heat contained in it that had not yet dissipated was released at once. Magneto only felt a burning sensation on the tip of his tongue, but before he could react, the freshness and tenderness of the diced chicken that was chewed between his teeth and the sesame fragrance that stuck to the outer layer suddenly filled his mouth.
In addition to the freshness and tenderness in his mouth, there was also a strong spicy taste that couldn't be ignored. Originally, Magneto thought that he wouldn't be able to stand it, but he was surprised to find that — —
It wasn't dry or bitter at all. When the spiciness and numbness intertwined, it was so satisfying that he couldn't stop himself.
Paired with the oily white rice, Magneto ate while silently sniffing his nose.
Lorna and the others, who were silently watching Magneto being slapped in the face, were speechless.
