Chapter 171 Follow-up to the Liberty Island Incident
The Statue of Liberty in New York was gone, and the news spread all over the world in an instant, replacing the major headlines prepared by all news media the next day.
"It's over," a new politician in New York City, who had just taken office, couldn't help but cry when he looked at the Statue of Liberty that had been broken into countless pieces. Things were like this, and no matter how much they found a reason, they couldn't get over this level. It seemed that their current position was the end of their career. Many people no longer expected to go further. The only thing they could expect now was to step down with a decent step.
However, this requirement is probably a luxury. I didn't see that the people who protested because of this incident were already spread all over the United States, and New York where they were located was a hardest hit. Especially now that the politicians and major media in various countries have not left New York, their faces are really embarrassing to the whole world.
"It's over," said the same person in charge of major intelligence agencies and violent agencies. They were also responsible for such a big incident. Even the one-eyed director who had usually collapsed in front of him has lost his former spirit.
"Chief, this is a report of the losses caused by this Free Island incident," Hill placed a report on the one-eyed director's desk and said in a deep voice.
The one-eyed director turned over the report with a gloomy face. He resisted the urge to tear the report apart, raised his head and asked Hill Hansheng a question that the US violent agencies are now asking: "Have you caught that bastard Magneto now?"
"Sorry, we are working hard," Hill's answer was also the standard answer of major violent institutions in the United States. Just now, the one-eyed director responded to the questions from above.
"It is necessary to catch him in the shortest time. We need an explanation, and the people also need an explanation. Do you understand?" said the one-eyed director.
"Yes," as a one-eyed person, Hill understood the pressure he was facing now, so after responding, he went out and continued to urge agents from all over the country to increase the search efforts.
"Shit! I thought that Anthony's bastard would be able to calm down for a while after leaving New York, but I didn't expect that one bastard would leave and another big bastard would take over!
He actually dared to blow up the entire American statue of Liberty! Magneto, after doing such a big thing, he still wants to run away. You will definitely not be able to run away because the whole world does not have any place for you!" The one-eyed director gritted his teeth and was very angry.
"It's over," said Magneto. After preparing for such a long time and spending so much money, it would end in this way. In other words, his heart is different from ordinary people, otherwise ordinary people would have collapsed long ago and they didn't see that there are still many members of the brotherhood who are running away now, looking confused.
In fact, if Magneto had imagined before, even if their actions failed this time, at most, they would throw out a few scapegoats, let them go to prison for a few days, and then let the X-Men get a medical parole. At most, they would be restricted for a long time of freedom, but in some aspects, they could still continue to deal with the cause of mutants.
But what he never expected was that this time was developing in an unexpected direction. Not to mention the failure of the action, the entire Statue of Liberty was blown up. This was not something that one or two scapegoats could be settled. Only when a person with great importance like him went to prison in person can he give an explanation to the public.
Therefore, after the incident, he and his senior cadres went anywhere and moved directly into Professor Xavier's genius school. This is one of the reasons why major intelligence agencies have not found them yet.
The reason for doing this is also because Magneto is deeply meaningful. His plan is very simple. When the public's anger is at its peak and when major intelligence agencies are powerless, Professor X and others will directly bring him and several major cadres of the Brotherhood into prison.
In this way, most of the people in the Brotherhood will be safe, and as hard work and contributions, they can get the greatest benefits when catching their X-Men. And he and those senior cadres will not die for the sake of the X-Men who arrested him, but it is inevitable that they will suffer a little bit of pain.
"Eric, your situation is not good this time," Professor x said in a deep voice as he looked at the old opponent in front of him who was playing chess with him.
"Of course I know," Magneto said with a blank expression: "Or I wouldn't live here either."
"Think about it," Professor X moved a little, and the chess piece continued: "You should know that if you go in this time, it won't be so easy to think of it."
"For such a big thing, do you think I can't go in?" Magneto ate one of the other party's chess pieces and said lightly.
Professor x was slightly silent, moved a step and said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't destroy the Statue of Liberty. You have no room for me to go to this point."
Crack, metal pieces began to shake, and it took a long time to stop. Magneto moved another move and said lightly: "If I said that the Statue of Liberty was not destroyed by me, would you believe it?"
"Finding," said Professor x: "But it's useless for me alone."
"So I have no choice," Magneto said, and his face changed, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know who did it! I dare to let me Magneto take the blame! I will make him regret coming to this world!"
"You'd better think about how to come out first," Professor X ate a chess on the other party again, and after hesitating for a moment, hesitated and said, "Is the antidote true?"
"Didn't you see it all?" Magneto said lightly: "And I believe that if you want to check it, you can definitely find it."
“…I’ll check it.”
Compared with other people who were worried about this incident, Anthony is the only winner. Not only the blood samples and corpses of the mutants and superheroes collected by Dr. Fashion in the chaos, but also the kryptonite left by Magneto and others when the entire Statue of Liberty was exploded.
You should know that as Superman's only nemesis, Kryptonite, is a rare thing in this world, and many people are desperate to do so. I didn't see such big shots as Batman and Magneto getting a piece of it, let alone Anthony, who is still rising.
And the most important thing is that Anthony lets Magneto take the blame. The Statue of Liberty collapsed. No matter how capable Magneto is, he must go to prison to wake up.
After all, Magneto is not alone, and barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Behind him is a group like the Mutant Brotherhood. If he doesn't want his brother to be strangled by violent groups across the United States, his eldest brother's entry into prison is the wisest choice.
Time on Liberty Island in New York has ended, and Anthony's study at Ye Gucheng in Kama Taj has officially come to an end.
"Ye, when you have time, you often come back and sit. You are familiar with the coordinates here, and it is very convenient to go back and forth." Master Gu Yi was very satisfied with the disciple in front of him. His talent and character were the best he had seen, so he did not forget to let him come back and sit the day after he left.
"Well, I can," Ye Gucheng still had the expression of paralysis, but even Anthony could tell that he had kept this in his heart.
"Mr. Anthony," Gu Yi turned his target to Anthony again: "Although the smell of blood on you is very strong, I can see that you are a good person."
When Anthony heard this, he almost choked to death by a cigar because he was sent by Master Gu Yi. What a joke? Good man? Because I probably die more than in your village. Master Gu Yi, are you here to make fun of me?
It seemed that Master Ancient One also saw the disdain in Anthony's eyes, so he didn't need to chuckled a few times and explained: "A person who knows how to cherish his family and the people around him cannot be considered a completely bad person anyway. Isn't it?"
"...What the hell do you want to say?" Anthony was silent for a moment and said impatiently.
"Don't let darkness lose your heart. When you are confused, think about the people and things you care about." Master Gu Yi said as if he was pointing out.
Anthony's eyes froze and said in a cold voice: "You don't need to say this!"
"So goodbye, I wish you a happy journey here."
After saying goodbye to Gu Yi and others, Anthony returned to the hotel where he stayed. After arranging his family to rest, Anthony was silent in the room alone.
He reached out and the blood order appeared in his hand. Looking at the blood-red color, Anthony murmured: "You should be coming out soon... I won't lose!"
