"I … I need some time to think about it, Saber."
The professor's hands were shaking. He had long forgotten why he came to the café. When Saber told him about the grand plan of The Devil Gang, he even felt suffocated.
How long had it been since he heard such a plan that sounded like Eric's? What was even more frightening was that this young man not only dared to plan, but he had even completed the first step. Everything that sounded like a story on paper was now on track for the first time in history.
The professor knew Seiber's ability to execute orders. Since Seiber dared to come up with this plan, it meant that he was confident. Before him, the Mutants didn't even have a city of their own. However, after Seiber became the leader, in less than two months, he was already planning to build a country.
Was the world changing too fast? Or were he and Eric really behind the times?
The professor's mind was in a mess. As one of the smartest people in the world, he couldn't even think calmly. He felt the long-lost excitement, fear, and the urge to throw himself into the plan. But in the end, he calmed himself down. He took a sip of coffee and said in a low voice, "They won't let you go easily.
"They won't let you achieve your goal so easily. It's not that Eric didn't try, but he failed in the end. Humans are a very exclusive race. They won't allow a different race to exist in the form of a country. To be honest, I'm very worried, Seiber. If your plan fails, it will be a fatal blow to the will of the mutants and their civilization."
"Then don't let it fail."
Saber heaved a sigh of relief. "We can continue to make up for the lack of power. As long as there are no internal problems, I don't think the human world is that scary."
Something flashed in his eyes. "Charles, do you understand what I'm trying to say? If you still think I'm responsible for your student's death, I welcome you to fight with me. But I don't want to see you in the enemy camp of the Devil Utopia. That will give me a headache. "
The professor closed his eyes and leaned back in his wheelchair.
"Let's talk about personal grudges later. More important!"
"Okay!"
Saber nodded. He grabbed Walter and Pietro and was about to leave when he was stopped by a strong spiritual force. He turned around and looked at the professor.
"What do you mean?"
"You can't take these two kids away!"
"You still don't know who they are, do you?"
"Does this have anything to do with their attempt to assassinate me?"
Saber asked, "I don't think they can be irresponsible just because of their status. Everyone has to be responsible for what they do!"
"They are Eric's children … the last blood descendants of the Lancher family!"
Charles looked at Saber. "Their identities are very special. If you take them away, it will only bring you trouble and lead to the crazy counterattack of the Brotherhood's die-hard loyalists. So I can't let you take them away … Do you understand why?"
"Hmm?"
Saber was a little shocked. He whispered, "Eric is 70 years old, right? No matter how I look at them, they are only 15.6 years old. This old man is really … "
Bang!
Charles looked a little unhappy. "Eric's magnetic force stimulates the body's cells. His physical fitness is stronger than an ordinary person in his twenties … Of course, I'm not talking about this with you. What I mean is, I have to keep these two kids with me. I can't give them to others, especially you!"
"What? You don't trust me? "
Saber snorted. "Are you worried that I'll kill them? Don't forget, before Eric died, he gave me everything he had. I think it's better for me to educate these two talented kids. "
"Your thoughts are too dangerous for such young people."
The professor did not give in. "I don't want Eric's kids to become your little devils. Keep them and do what you have to do."
The atmosphere in the café froze. Both parties didn't speak, but the two completely different auras and powers collided, causing the tables around them to shake. Finally, Seiber took a step back, put the two children aside, and spread out his hands.
"Whether it's dangerous or not, it's up to them to decide. Little girl, how long are you going to pretend to be asleep?"
Saber and Charles looked at Walter at the same time. This girl had woken up five minutes ago. She could not hide her thoughts from mutants of this level and power. Walter's body trembled. She took a deep breath and opened her fiery red eyes. She looked at Saber fearfully. Finally, she hugged her brother and walked to Charles. She lowered her head and did not speak.
"Then who are you going with?"
Saber looked down at his watch and said impatiently, "If you want to go with Charles, you have to promise that you and your brother will not trouble me again. If you want to go with me, you have to hurry."
Charles put his left hand on Walter's shoulder and said gently, "Don't be afraid, Walter.
"Don't be afraid, Walter. I've already told you that your father wasn't murdered. Before he died, he chose his successor. That person is Seb Hawk, the leader of the Gotham Devil Gang. You've heard our conversation just now. I'm willing to give you the choice. Live with me in Xavier Academy, or follow him and join your father's unfinished business. Choose for yourself."
Walter was a little confused at this moment. Hydra's letter to them had concealed too many details, only saying that her father was murdered by Saber. But now, her father's most loyal friend was endorsing Saber. This point of view was obviously not valid. Now, she had to look at Saber in front of her with a new perspective. To be honest, Saber had left a bad impression on her.
But the problem was that Walter was not a fifteen-year-old girl with big breasts and no brains. In fact, Magneto had high hopes for Walter. This girl was very smart and understood her father's pursuit. She knew what Saber wanted to do and what it meant for the mutants. This filled Walter with a sense of mission.
So she was very hesitant. After five minutes, when Saber was very impatient, the girl took a deep breath. She looked up at Saber and asked in a low voice,
"Do you really have the confidence to build a mutant country and protect it?"
"I don't have the confidence!"
Saber said casually, "But if you don't have the confidence, you won't do it? Your father only started because everything had to be properly prepared, and then look at what he had gained. Failure, a failure that makes people despair, a failure that even I can't bear to see! "
"Mutants want to build a country. This is something that every mutant has to pay. If no one is willing to pay, I won't succeed even if I work myself to death. So your question is meaningless. You shouldn't ask me if I have the confidence!"
Saber sighed in relief. He took off his helmet, and a light flashed in his dark red eyes, which were similar to Walter's. He pointed at Walter's head and asked,
"You should ask yourself if you have made up your mind to give everything for this country that is about to be built."
Walter was stunned, but after a moment, she stepped forward and walked up to Saber.
"I haven't made up my mind yet. I want to see if everything you said is true! Also, my brother has to stay here. He's too hot-tempered. I think it's best for him to follow Mr. Charles. "
Seiber didn't have any objections. He nodded and spread out his hands to the professor.
"Then I'll take this child. Charles, I'll leave the boy to you. You better watch him closely. If he does something dangerous again, he'll lose more than a few drops of blood."
Professor waved at him, and the Mind Cage around them dispersed. Saber walked out of the cafe with Walter. Professor looked at the two of them leaving. He closed his eyes and mumbled to himself, "Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank.
My friend, my disciple … I'm sorry, but I … I have no reason to stop the rise of the mutants … I have no reason. "
The moment the gate of New Xavier Academy slowly closed, Professor looked up at the sky. There, the will of his old friend seemed to shine.
"Eric, you've won … You've chosen a true leader in the end."
On the other side, Seber sat in the backseat of the car and lit up a cigar out of habit. Then, he reported a location.
He then said, "Hell's Kitchen. Where are we going?"
Walter, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was dumbfounded. The cute little girl turned to Saber and said angrily, "First of all, Mr. Saber, this is the 24th day I've been in New York. I have no idea where Hell's Kitchen is. Secondly, I'm not your driver. Lastly, can you put out your cigar in front of a lady?"
Saber looked at her lazily and shrugged. "First of all, knowing where a place is is is the instinct of a strong person! As Eric's daughter, you have to be strong. Secondly, if you're not my driver, why did you sit in the driver's seat just now? Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices. Lastly, this world won't be nice to you just because you're a woman. You better get used to the smell of cigarettes now. "
He paused for a few seconds and looked at Walter in confusion.
"What? Am I not clear enough? Or is there something wrong with your understanding? "
Walter's reaction was also very strange. She opened the door without saying anything, jumped out, opened the back door, and sat beside Saber. She snatched Saber's cigar and threw it out the window. She turned to look at Saber.
"The world is cruel. My father taught me a long time ago, so I know how to resist! Now that I'm in the back seat, aren't you going to drive? "
Saber was stunned. This action was indeed beyond his imagination. He shrugged, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat. After a while, the car started. He looked at the proud Walter in the rearview mirror and said in a low voice, "You have a personality.
Little girl, I believe you're Eric's daughter now. I'm starting to like you. "
"But I'm starting to hate you!"
Walter heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was still a little afraid of her future life. After all, she was only a 15-year-old girl. Therefore, when she first met Saber, she would pretend to be a little hedgehog. Saber was not angry at her words. In the past few years, he had been interacting with Catherine like this. The feisty Walter made him feel like he was interacting with Catherine.
Beep, beep, beep.
Saber's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked at it. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Sit tight, little girl. We're going to speed up!"
Twenty minutes later, at the entrance of New York's airport, Seiber stopped his car and opened the door. He immediately saw a beautiful figure dragging a large suitcase outside the airport. He waved at her, and the latter quickly ran over with the suitcase in tow. She laughed and pounced on Seiber. Her slender legs wrapped around Seiber's waist. Seiber hugged her even tighter as he felt her passionate body in his arms. He said softly, "What's wrong?
"You're not going to leave this time, right?"
Miss Thief Selena, who had not seen Saber for a long time, put her delicate chin on Saber's ear and said longingly, "I'm not going to leave.
"Hmm … I'm not leaving anymore. I stole a lot of jewelry and treasures, but when I was visiting the Louvre Museum as a tourist, I suddenly realized that this is not the life I want … I'm tired of stealing. I want to start a new life, Seiber."
"Then what do you want? My little wild kitten. "
Saber asked in a low voice. Selena snorted and hugged Saber tightly again.
"I told you, I want a different kind of life. You're always not taking the initiative. So, Saber, I want to fall in love."
"That's too troublesome!"
Saber breathed a sigh of relief. He had never felt his heart beating so fast.
He said in a low voice, "Why don't we just get married? The position of the matriarch of a Christian family has been vacant for too long."
