Magneto's Conspiracy (Fourth Update)

An hour later, in the Headmaster's office of the Mutant School.

Professor X looked at Hawking with a surprised expression.

"Hawking, didn't you go home for the holidays? Why are you back all of a sudden?"

"Professor, I have something important to tell you."

Hawking said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Professor X also stopped smiling. Given Hawking's composed personality, if he said something important, it must be something significant.

"You say."

"Magneto came to me last night and asked me to help him destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.. because he discovered..."

Hawking recounted his conversation with Magneto from the previous day to Professor X, but he made no mention of sending shadow Shadow Clone to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.. today.

He didn't intend to tell anyone about the Shadow Clone Ninjutsu unless absolutely necessary.

Because as long as no one knows about this Ninjutsu, he can use Shadow Clone to impersonate various identities and do things that are inconvenient for him under his current identity.

For example, if he wanted to kill the president one day, neither Hawking, the chairman of Heroes Alliance Company, Super Hero Hawking, nor X-Men Hawking could do it, but his Shadow Clone could change their appearance at will and do it.

Even if he is exposed, he will be killed in the form of smoke, making it impossible to trace him back to.

After listening to Hawking's account, Professor X couldn't help but sigh:

"My old friend is really restless, but Hawking, you don't need to worry about S.H.I.E.L.D..'s drugs and weapons."

"Professor?"

Hawking noticed that Professor X didn't seem particularly surprised by the drugs and weapons that S.H.I.E.L.D.. was researching.

Professor X explained with a smile:

"Actually, Nick Fury talked to me a few days ago and told me about their research and development of drugs and weapons. He had no hostility towards us and promised that as long as we did not cause trouble, he would never use them."

His main concern was to guard against Erik increasingly frequent actions in recent years had made him very uneasy.

Of course, I know I can't believe everything he says, but some of it can be trusted.

He knew what kind of person Nick Fury was, and what Nick Fury said was just a hope that if Magneto started a war, he and Hawking would stand on the side of S.H.I.E.L.D.., or at least remain neutral.

In fact, if Nick Fury really had enough power, he probably wouldn't mind doing what Erik said, as he is well aware of all of this.

But so what? He just wants to maintain this situation, as long as Hawking's Hero Alliance project is completed and the public becomes more accepting of Mutants.

Even Nick Fury won't be able to deal with them openly in the future.

"That old fox Nick Fury seems to have a good plan."

Upon hearing Professor X's explanation, Hawking raised an eyebrow. He had naturally thought of the same things that Professor X had thought of.

To become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. develop it into the world's largest organization, Nick Fury is not only Yamato and controlling, but also possesses extraordinary abilities and shrewdness.

"Yes, so as long as we stay still, it won't be so easy for the two of them to start fighting."

I've already warned Nick Fury that if he attacks the Brotherhood of Mutants, we'll Brotherhood of Mutants with them.

Tomorrow, also tell Erik that if he launches an attack on S.H.I.E.L.D.., then we will side with S.H.I.E.L.D..

Professor X said to Hawking.

"Okay, I understand."

Hawking nodded. This was indeed a good idea; at least things could remain stable for a while longer.

The next day, at the same coffee shop.

"Hawking, have you thought it through?"

I don't think you want to one day be caught by S.H.I.E.L.D.., put on a leash like a dog, and spend every day in a lab as their lab rat, or be manipulated into becoming their executioner.

Even if you think you're strong enough, don't forget you have a younger sister and a younger brother, and they're not as strong as you.

"Join me, and we'll destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.. together. By then, it'll be too late, and Charles won't say a word against you."

Upon their reunion, Magneto didn't waste any more time and immediately launched into a series of persuasive maneuvers.

Hawking simply sipped his coffee calmly and replied unhurriedly:

"A week ago, Nick Fury spoke with the professor privately and told him about the drugs and weapons. They had no intention of going to war with the Mutants."

So, I'm sorry, Erik Lehnsherr, I can't grant your request.

Also, the professor asked me to tell you that if you initiate a war, then he will have no choice but to side with S.H.I.E.L.D..

"He actually took the initiative to contact Charles, good. Very good!"

Upon hearing Hawking's answer, Magneto was taken aback for a moment, then a grim smile appeared on his face.

At this point, Hawking added:

"However, that's just the professor's opinion. I think that if you, Erik Lehnsherr, have any powerful trump card, it should at least be something I feel is strong enough to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the professor's X-Men."

Then I might consider cooperating with you to completely wipe S.H.I.E.L.D.. out of this world.

I'm not one for taking risks, nor do I like fighting battles I'm not confident of winning.

He didn't want Magneto to think he was completely on the Professor's side. That way, if Magneto had any schemes, he might get wind of them beforehand and not be caught off guard.

Magneto looked at Hawking, remained silent for about five seconds, and finally smiled:

"I understand. If that day ever comes, I will be the first to come and cooperate with you."

After saying that, he left the coffee shop with Mystique.

Watching Magneto and Mystique's departing figures, Hawking murmured:

"I have a feeling that this old guy is up to some kind of conspiracy."

His intuition told him that Magneto wouldn't let it go so easily.

But after thinking about it carefully, it didn't really matter. He didn't want the current peace to be broken, but if it really was, he would take the opportunity to make a show of force and let all the powers know that he, Hawking, was not someone to be trifled with.

At the same time, they can take the opportunity to bring Little Spider and his crew along to once again raise the banner of Hero Alliance International Company.

If we're lucky and the incident has a wide impact, we might even be able to gather some Justice Points, so it's not a complete loss.

So after thinking about it, he decided not to investigate further.

Meanwhile, Mystique, driving her car, turned to Magneto beside her and asked:

"Why didn't you reveal some of our plans to him just now? Maybe we could have won him over to our side."

"Don't be fooled by this little fox. What he just said may not be true, and he may just be trying to extract information."

We can't risk telling him the plan. Since he's unwilling to join us, he can't blame me for being ruthless later.

A flash of murderous intent crossed Magneto's eyes.
