Conflict

In fact, the warning from the United States soldiers was already quite lenient. Otherwise, upon seeing the man, they could have arrested Square Magneto, who was classified as a terrorist, or even shot him on the spot.

However, Omega-level Mutants, especially Magneto with his extensive combat experience, are really not suitable as opponents without his full-body plastic armor.

Not only were the United States soldiers aware of this, but even Square Magneto was well aware of it. However, his self-esteem wasn't aligned with these men, so he asked the approaching Beast with disdain, "Did you arrange this?"

The Beast said helplessly, "What If...? it really was my doing, there would certainly be a smarter way to do it."

Selene, who also possessed mind-reading abilities, said, "Professor X sent them."

"Ah, Charles. Can I say this is not surprising at all?" Magneto commented on those who were not present, or were hiding in the shadows.

"What are you doing!" a soldier suddenly shouted. He moved his gun towards the stealthy fighter jet that had disembarked.

The Joker dressed clown was about to slip away to the side.

Caught red-handed Clown-Sup immediately became the center of attention. He looked at everyone awkwardly, pointed in a certain direction, and said, "I drank too much water on the plane, and now I need to pee."

"Hmm------The public restroom is on the other side," the soldier replied, puzzled.

"Oh, thanks." The Clown-Sup changed direction. "This way, right?"

"Ah, no! Stop right there! Don't move!" The soldier pointed his gun at Clown-Sup.

Clown-Sup, frozen in place like a thief, his shifty eyes scanning the crowd, asked, "So, now it's—ah, look! A shooting star!"

Those seemingly joking words still drew everyone's attention to the direction the Clown-Sup pointing. The night sky appeared to be ablaze with fiery meteors, each streak heading straight for New York City.

Hank immediately thought of a possibility and said, "Could it be an alien warship from outer space making a landing?"

To everyone's surprise, the United States commander, upon seeing this, excitedly shouted, "Mutants, attack! Everyone, open fire!"

United States soldiers, skeptical of the existence of aliens, were more inclined to believe that the attack on New York was carried out by Mutants than aliens, especially since Magneto, the infamous terrorist leader, was present.

Without hesitation, the soldiers pulled the triggers. A hail of bullets erupted from their rifles, without warning or mercy.

Magneto, of course, wasn't one to sit idly by and wait to be killed; he stopped all the bullets fired. Selene cooperated.

She used mind control to freeze all the soldiers in place. Red Lotus then used her whip to fling them all away.

The three of them executed a fluid, coordinated attack, instantly repelling all the soldiers surrounding the X-Jet's cockpit door. The bullets seemed to lose all kinetic energy as they fell to the ground, not returning to the soldiers who fired them—a testament to Magneto's mercy.

Magneto turned to Beast and said, "So, now our enemies include United States soldiers in addition to aliens, right?"

"This is not what Charles wanted," Hank argued.

"But things have taken this turn. Not so good, huh?" Magneto said to the two men he had brought, "Find the lyre, take it with you, and we'll leave."

Magneto was well aware of his situation. The group of people who had fallen from the sky and were mistaken for Mutants were not his men. Even if he was confident in himself, he didn't need to get entangled with a bunch of idiots when he was short-handed.

Moreover, he also had to consider Genosha Island, the last home of Mutants, and couldn't afford to offend the United States to the death. That's why he only repelled the people and didn't kill the soldiers who had offended him.

"Selene," Magneto called out to the witch who had once been the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. With her long lifespan and unfathomable power, she was arguably one of the most powerful Mutants on Genosha Island besides himself.

Even without the near-immortal witch doing anything, even when his abilities were at a low point, he could sense that powerful life energy coming from a certain direction.

"Right there!" Selene said.

Without hesitation, Magneto addressed everyone, "Let's go. If we don't want to kill too much, let's finish this quickly and leave as soon as possible."

Even Beast, the X-Men, couldn't find fault with this. The person came here on their own; they couldn't possibly turn against them and be sent away.

And things turned out just as Raven had feared. Charles was allied with the U.S. military; if he handed over the violin,

What should we do? He promised to take that poor girl to a safe place.

So the Beast followed Square Magneto's footsteps, and casually grabbed the Clown-Sup, and followed him.

Just as the group reached the edge of the park, near the road, "Poof!" Professor X, Cyclops, and Storm, using Nightcrawler's teleportation ability, blocked Square Magneto and the others' path.

Before either side could speak, Clown-Sup interjected, "Hey, there's a bald guy. Mind if I wax it? I think I can use it instead of Crystal to make some great predictions."

Professor X, his face darkening, asked, "Erik, your newest Mutants?"

"Thank God, that's not it. You should ask Hank; these are the people he brought."

The Beast looked embarrassed. But from his consciousness, Professor X obtained that incredible answer and decided not to pursue it any further. The last time he invaded this alien's consciousness, the result was too disastrous. He didn't want to experience it again.

Turning attention back to their old rival, Professor X said, "Erik, whatever Raven asks of you, just leave. This is none of your business."

Magneto said, "A fellow Mutants was wronged and came to me for help, and I regret that I didn't lend a hand in time. I won't make that mistake again. On the contrary, I'd like to ask you why you called the U.S. military?"

"We called in the U.S. military to deal with that group of people." Professor X pointed to the sky, where a meteor shower was still falling.

"But the Reinforcements you brought seem to be treating them as my Reinforcements. Do you think apologizing and leaving at this point will do any good? If it did, they wouldn't be the U.S. military anymore," Square Magneto stated coldly.

Professor X said, "So don't you think you should leave to avoid further misunderstandings?"

"And then you just let them take the instrument?"

"I could never do such a thing!" Professor X said angrily.

"Yes, old friend, I believe you. But I don't believe them," Square Magneto said meaningfully.

He then looked at the larger group of United States soldiers closing in from both sides. "What do you plan to do when they try to take your person?"
