Chapter 674 Concealing the Truth, Different Positions
The strength of the three ladies made Charles finally choose to keep his mouth shut silently. He is very aware of his current situation, and he also understands that he has no right to speak on this matter. But if he can see clearly, it doesn't mean that other people can also see clearly.
After they completely rejected Professor Charles' request, from behind Professor Charles, his already restless students began to get angry.
"Jean, you can't do that. You can't just turn us down. Don't forget, you're one of us. You have to remember that."
After he finished speaking, the beast beside him pressed his shoulders, preventing him from continuing.
"That's enough, Scott. Say no more, it's not the right time to say that!"
"Let me go!" The ungrateful Scott immediately broke free from his palm and said loudly to Qin Grey who was sitting opposite. "Qin, what kind of ecstasy did that guy give you? Why did you treat us like this? Have you forgotten? Forgot the time we spent together before, have you forgotten the fact that we are the only ones along the way?"
"Stop it, Scott! Get yourself under control."
Not just one person, even Professor Charles started to stop him from doing such stupid behavior. But Scott had no intention of stopping at all. He naturally wanted to get rid of other people's entanglement and restraint, and wanted to say something more to the woman he had forgotten for a long time.
But before he could speak, the magical power of scarlet had already appeared beside him, lifting him up like a doll.
He could no longer make any sound, because his body, his strength, and his will were all imprisoned in this small body by this magical power, and they were wantonly moved along with Qin's will. Manipulating. All he can do now is look at Qin Grey, hoping to get a little pity from her. However, he gets nothing.
The crimson power wrapped around his body, throwing him out of the conference room heavily like some garbage, and at the same time, Qin Grey's cold and ruthless voice came.
"Get out of here, Scott. If I'm hearing you say anything nasty about him, don't blame me for neglecting our friendship."
Her words made Scott feel pain, and no matter how deep the pain in his heart was, all he could see was a closed door.
After a long time, the door was opened again.
And in his hopeful eyes, only his fellow mutants appeared in front of him. And even they looked very unattractive towards him.
Professor Charles was pushed away from his side by Ororo expressionless. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at the student who had disappointed him again and again. It's not just him, Ororo, Logan, Beast, all of them are like this. As if he had been abandoned, he could only watch the backs of his companions disappearing before his eyes bit by bit.
At this moment, there are only two choices before him. One is to push open the door behind him and continue to entangle with his past. And the other one is to catch up with his companions and choose to be with them. No matter which one he chooses, at least he will lose the other. Or, there could be worse to come.
This situation made Scott silent for a long time. For him, no matter which choice he chooses, he cannot accept it. But at this moment, he had to make a choice. Things are not going to go as he wants or as he wants, and he has to give up one of them.
After a while, he finally made a decision. He got up and staggered towards the door behind him. But when he opened the door, he found that there was already no one there. Like a stupid choice, until the end, he didn't catch anything after all.
But just as he made his choice, Charles sighed deeply. The disappointment on his face was beyond words, it was no longer disappointment, more precisely, despair. Once upon a time, he believed so much that Scott could be his best successor, become the new leader of the mutants after he left this world, and lead the mutants to a better future.
But now, the mistakes he made again and again have made Charles die deeply for him, and step by step to the point of despair. How can a selfish guy who only cares about himself lead their group to the future? How can a guy who can't see the reality take over his important task and find the direction from the fog of the future?
He gave him so many opportunities, but he just gave himself such an answer. This made Charles feel powerless from the bottom of his heart. And his expression also made the students around him react.
"Scott chose that? Stupid guy."
With a cigar still in his mouth, Logan was already mocking with disdain. As for his ridicule, Ororo sighed deeply. At this time, she wanted to defend Scott, but after she opened her mouth, she realized that she didn't even have a reason to defend him.
From the identity of a mutant, a teacher, a man, etc., he is not qualified. Indeed, in terms of this kind of thing, he is indeed quite infatuated. However, it is nothing more than disgusting entanglement. Even now, he still can't understand the things that she can let go of, which is simply unbelievable. In Logan's words, this is simply a stalking sissy.
Abandoning his meaningless plan, Ororo asked Professor Charles in front of him.
"Professor, what should we do now? Are we really going to obey their orders and arrangements?"
"Do you think we still have a choice?" Shaking his head, Charles certainly knew the grievances in his students. But this kind of thing is like he said, the stakes are high. Personal grievances are not worth mentioning in the face of such racial events. So he taught with earnestness and earnestness. "Ororo, you have to know. Although we are a symbol of mutants, it does not mean that we can represent all mutants. You can have opinions on their arrangements, but before everything is over, I hope You can hold onto that opinion instead of blowing it up."
"This is a matter of race. What we have to do is to spare no effort. Protect our compatriots in this city as much as possible. If there is a problem in this war because of our competition for command, then I am afraid it will eventually For the rest of our lives, we will never be able to face those compatriots who died."
"So, what should we do?"
Ororo continued to ask, obviously, she still didn't understand what she should do. Seeing this situation, Charles could only give them instructions.
"You take the younger children to the place arranged by Eric first. Don't forget to tell these children that once the war starts, they will immediately follow the crowd to seek refuge. After you finish these things, we will go to Talk to Eric and see what kind of role those ladies need us to play in this battle."
"We really just obey their arrangements so obediently?" At this time, Beast, the professor's old partner, couldn't help but speak out. "Honestly, I doubt they have the ability to lead us to victory."
"At least, what I see from them is self-confidence. I can see that they seem to have a very special grasp of this battle."
"Special hold? Charles, what did you think of?"
"I'm not sure yet, maybe this is just my guess. But it is very possible that this war will become a turning point for us. A turning point for humans and mutants to live in harmony, or even merge together."
Shaking his head, Charles couldn't help but confided his true inner thoughts to this former old buddy. And hearing what he said, the beast obviously realized something.
His pupils couldn't help shrinking, and then he asked Professor Charles again.
"So, do you think it's necessary for us to tell Captain America about your guess?"
"No, no need. It's not good for us if they know this." Hearing this question, Professor Charles directly refused without even thinking about it. "Anyway, they are just outsiders. This is an opportunity for mutants, our hope for a bright future. But for them, it may not be the case. Now, we can guarantee that he will stand by our side for stability and justice , but if my guess becomes true. So for this country, what choice do you think he will make?"
This is a question that does not require much thought, because his behavior is too obvious. Even beasts with little contact can clearly guess his choice. And under the premise of being a mutant, Beast immediately understood what he should do.
He closed his mouth in silence, while looking at the others with stern eyes. As for his eyes, Logan immediately vomited eye circles and said.
"As you know, I have never liked this kind of conspiracy. So I didn't hear anything you said just now."
"Me neither, I've forgotten what I just heard."
After him, Ororo followed closely. There is no doubt about their attitude, because they all have an identity, that is, mutants. Seeing their wise choices, Professor Charles sighed again.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Captain. I must admit that you are a person worthy of admiration. But sometimes admiration can't represent everything, and we can never be completely under the unified interests. There is no way, who You are called for the United States, but we are for the mutants?" (To be continued~^~)
