Whoosh…! A super high-energy laser flashed by.
A penetrating hole suddenly appeared on the Metal Controller's forehead, through which the ground behind could faintly be seen.
The scent of roasted meat quietly permeated the air.
Thud! The Metal Controller fell to the ground with a bewildered expression.
His eyes were wide open, unwilling to die.
The Metal Controller never imagined that White's three words, 'What a pity,' were the death knell for his life.
The other three former Apocalypse Three Knights, who witnessed all of this, hid to the side, trembling.
If recruitment failed, they would be directly eliminated? What kind of recruitment is this hardcore?! "Are you willing to pledge allegiance to our company and form a loving family with us?"
Ignoring the cleaning robot dragging the Metal Controller away, White turned and softly asked the three trembling 'Knights.'
"Ah!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"We are willing!"
White's specially displayed benevolent expression was wasted.
As soon as White spoke, the three little ones, trembling with fear, immediately shrieked and agreed without delay.
They were afraid that if they were a little late or hesitated, they would be gone with a flash of light, whoosh…! In the eyes of Storm and the other two, White's metallic face at this moment was simply the most terrifying and hideous demonic visage they had ever seen… "Hmm,"
"Since you are willing to accept the recruitment, then we are our own people!"
White gently patted the heads of the three, satisfied.
White didn't care about the three little ones' fear; as long as they were willing to join the company's family, then everything was fine.
The company naturally had a set of methods to ensure loyalty.
Although it seemed like a formality, it did not violate the rules set by Master Michael, did it? With the matter perfectly resolved, White turned and left directly.
As for the three little ones, there were naturally dedicated personnel to teach them how to quickly adapt.
"No!"
"It's better to investigate thoroughly."
On the other side, Professor Charles at the Mutant School, after much deliberation, decided to use the Cerebro to thoroughly investigate what had just happened.
The inexplicable sense of dread gave Professor Charles a heavy feeling of crisis. If he didn't investigate carefully, Charles worried he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
However, this time, Charles wasn't planning to use his Mutant ability again.
After all, the incident where he was dealt with by the Base felt like it happened just yesterday.
In fact, how he and others were treated was still vivid in Charles's mind. Before he could be 100% sure he could suppress the Base, Charles dared not personally use his psychic powers to investigate again.
Especially since there was a power within the Base that could suppress, and even seal, Mutant abilities. Charles didn't want his own powers to suddenly disappear.
Having grown accustomed to being superior, even suffering a half-body disability for it, and having worked hard to alter the future timeline, Charles was not prepared to revert to a state of utter powerlessness.
"Erik Lehnsherr."
"It seems I'll have to trouble you, my old friend, to make an appearance this time."
After a brief thought, Charles, with his brilliant mind, decided to drag his old friend into the Water.
Although this would break the purpose of his old friend quietly living in seclusion at the school.
But for the future of Mutants, the former leader of the Brotherhood had an undeniable duty! Regardless of whether his old friend was willing or not, Charles had made his decision. Whether he was willing or not, wouldn't he ultimately have to do it?
