"Nature Reserve?!" In the hall of the United Nations General Assembly, the ambassador opposite Sebastian twisted his microphone by hand, then said, "Are you people insane? What the hell is a nature reserve?!"
Not that Sebastian understood it either, but he was an old hand, and the phrases came one set after another.
"Watch your tone, Mr. Ambassador," Sebastian began by slapping a label on him. "This attitude of yours, which is infinitely close to a personal attack, makes me feel that you and your country harbor serious discrimination against mutants. If you don't want to hear me speak, you may leave on your own. All right?"
After saying that, he ignored the ambassador and continued, "In fact, I believe the international community has misunderstood the activities mutants are carrying out on Krakoa Island. Mutants are merely developing a newly discovered nature reserve. There are more than twenty thousand entirely new species of flora and fauna on Krakoa Island, all of them endangered. As the first group to set foot on this island, although we are temporarily using it as a place to settle, we are even more intent on contributing to humanity's environmental protection efforts. To that end, mutants have already established the 'Krakoa Environmental Protection Foundation' to ensure that the animals and plants on Krakoa Island receive proper protection..."
The ambassadors from various countries were all stunned by this speech. Many of them had already begun whispering to one another. What was going on with mutants? Had they suddenly gained wisdom? Or was some expert guiding them from behind the scenes?
Everyone had to admit that not founding a nation was already an extremely clever retreat-as-advance move, but establishing a nature reserve and a foundation was even more brilliant.
First, there was the refusal to found a nation.
