Ficool

Chapter 40 - 40

Alright."

Toad nodded, and Sabretooth, with his disheveled hair, also let out a low growl, indicating he understood—his intelligence was somewhat limited, and he didn't know how to speak, acting like a beast.

"The two of you, leave quietly. Don't let anyone discover you."

Magneto instructed, there were Professor X's moles within the Brotherhood of Mutants, which was why they were often thwarted by the X-Men.

"Understood."

Toad led Sabretooth away, turning to leave. Unfortunately, despite their caution, Professor Charles's mole still detected some clues—their car had been tampered with.

As a result, just as Toad and Sabretooth were about to capture Rogue, they were stopped by the arriving X-Men. After a fierce battle, Toad and Sabretooth retreated, while Wolverine Logan and Rogue were taken back to New York by the X-Men.

...

"Why did the art style change like this?"

At a coffee shop near Times Square, Andrew looked at the citizens constantly taking photos and videos with Epsilon-level Mutants in the square, and couldn't help but complain.

Gwen, sitting across from Andrew, said, "Isn't it because of your Daily Bugle's reporting?"

Several days ago, a single sentence from Andrew caused Epsilon-level Mutants to gather in Times Square. The management was very displeased and ordered the police to drive the Mutant away.

If it were other matters, the Mutant would certainly have retreated. The problem was, this was their only chance to return to being ordinary people, so no matter how the police tried to drive them away, they would rather die than leave.

Chief George was greatly troubled by this. At this time, The Daily Bugle detailed the reason why the Mutant gathered in Times Square. Consequently, Times Square became a popular internet celebrity check-in spot.

That's right, an internet celebrity check-in spot. Tourists and citizens came here one after another to take photos with Mutant and post them on Kwai and Twitter. The management, seeing that the tourists didn't mind, no longer drove the Mutant away.

Most Mutant were very resistant to this, because the way those tourists looked at them was no different from visiting animals in a Zoo.

However, there were also Mutant who silently held up signs—photos five dollars, videos ten dollars, special videos twenty dollars.

Kwai, Twitter, and Facebook, these internet tools, are gradually changing life.

"The Daily Bugle only reports the truth."

Andrew said, "Alright, it's about time. I'll take you back to Osborn Group. It's not very safe here."

Gwen took a sip of coffee and asked, puzzled, "Not very safe? No way, the police station specifically dispatched a squad to protect this place."

"There are too many forces around."

Andrew pointed around and introduced to Gwen, "That red-haired woman over there is Dr. Jean Grey of the X-Men. The bald man in the wheelchair beside her is the famous Professor X."

"Famous?"

Gwen blinked and said weakly, "I haven't heard of him. I've only heard of Magneto. He's America's most wanted fugitive, and it's said he assassinated the president."

"Magneto and Professor X are the two poles of Mutant."

Andrew briefly introduced them and continued, "You know that one over there, it's Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. Those few on the left who don't fit in with the crowd are military personnel. Oh, Psylocke?"

At this moment, Andrew noticed an Asian woman with purple hair and an incredibly good figure, and he was momentarily stunned—if he remembered correctly, the other party should be the Mutant Psylocke.

The problem was, her age didn't seem to match. It seemed that Psylocke in this world was a bit different from the one in the movie.

Professor X also noticed the cool Psylocke. He had crossed paths with her before and waved her over, asking, "Psylocke, why are you here too?"

"The Hellfire Club hired me. The Black King and White Queen are also very concerned about Mutant returning to being ordinary people."

Psylocke, whose main job was mercenary and side job was model, said, "But there are too many forces here, and they don't want to be noticed, so they hired me to gather information."

Jean asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you keep your employer's secrets?"

"In front of this old man, who can keep a secret?"

Psylocke scoffed and said, "Professor, if you find an answer, remember to give me a copy. I'll split it with you fifty-fifty."

Professor Charles chuckled wryly. He was about to speak when he suddenly looked to his right, a look of astonishment on his face: "How did they get out? Weren't they supposed to stay in the academy?"

Professor Charles was referring to Wolverine Logan and Rogue. They had also come to Times Square for a simple reason: Rogue wanted to become an ordinary person again, so the tough man Wolverine risked accompanying her—Wolverine and others all thought Magneto's target was him.

Logan, with his wild hair, looked at the expectant Mutant across from him and asked Rogue, "Rogue, do you really want to become an ordinary person again?"

"I never wanted to be a Mutant."

Rogue replied with certainty, "I just want to go back to my old life now. I don't want to touch someone and have them turn into a dried corpse."

Logan shook his head and said, "I respect your choice, but can staying here really turn you back into an ordinary person?"

"If staying one day doesn't work, I'll stay two days. If two days don't work, I'll stay three days. In short, I must become an ordinary person."

Rogue said, "It's a pity my appearance is no different from an ordinary person, otherwise I could earn some extra money."

"The way those people look at me makes me sick. Honestly, I want to punch them."

Logan said with disgust. Just then, the surrounding screens and citizens' phones were interfered with, showing a lot of fluctuations. Immediately after, three people walked aggressively towards them, pushing aside everyone in their way.

The leader of these three was an old man wearing an ugly helmet and a reddish-brown cloak. As soon as Coulson saw him, his face changed dramatically. The person who had arrived was none other than America's most wanted fugitive, Magneto!

Beside Magneto were Toad and Sabretooth. It's worth mentioning that the Brotherhood of Mutants is very powerful, completely different from the small number seen in the movies. The reason Magneto only brought two people this time was because two people were enough.

"A bunch of traitors and a bunch of disgusting humans."

Magneto saw the people taking videos, a flash of disgust in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, those people's phones simultaneously flew up and smashed hard into their faces, immediately eliciting screams.

Professor Charles immediately led the X-Men to Wolverine and Rogue's side. At the same time, police officers, Agents, and soldiers all raised their guns and surrounded Magneto and his two companions.

The public, seeing that the situation was not right, quickly left the area. However, many people did not leave; they stayed nearby, unafraid of death, preparing to watch the upcoming conflict.

There's a reason why there are fewer foreigners.

Psylocke had no intention of joining the fight. She casually found a seat, which happened to be next to Andrew and Gwen's seats.

Andrew asked Gwen, "Gwen, do you want to leave, or stay and watch the show?"
