After throwing away what was in his heart, Erik even ignored his daughter's dissatisfaction and grabbed the parrot from her arms.
Quickly check the whole body of this parrot, even the gender of the parrot!
It's a female.
After checking, Erik looked at Heisenberg dully.
"Are you... are you God?!!"
"I am just your compatriot, Hellfire Club's White King, nothing more."
Heisenberg replied leisurely, and at the same time he took a sip of Coke.
After putting down the empty cup, Heisenberg clapped his hands gently.
"Man, don't hold on to the gift I gave your daughter.
Look at little Nina, she is almost crying!"
"I..."
Erik was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his daughter.
Well, my daughter was looking longingly at the big parrot in her arms.
The look on her daughter's eyes made Erik blush.
"Sorry, I was a little over-stressed, here you go, honey."
Erik explained while returning the bird to Nina.
After Nina played excitedly with the big parrot, Erik turned to Heisenberg and asked seriously.
"You drank my Coke, sat on my sofa, met my wife and daughter, and even gave my daughter an incredible gift!
Heisenberg, tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?
Otherwise, your smile and ease will only make me more uneasy!"
After the words fell, Erik shook his head with difficulty.
"I really retired, really!
I don't want to do anything that will make others associate me with Mutants!
Now I just want to be a farmer, a worker, and spend time with my wife and children.
Don't you claim to be kind to your compatriots, so why can't you even satisfy me with such a simple request?"
"It's not whether I can satisfy your request to retreat to the countryside, Erik!"
Facing Magneto's complaint, Heisenberg said softly.
"You have to understand one thing: we are not the only ones in this world who are watching you.
You have to understand that we are just the first ones to come to you, not the only ones who will put our thoughts on you!
What you think you are hiding is just escaping from the facts that you must face.
And your decision is an extremely irresponsible decision, both for you and your children!"
After the words fell, Heisenberg stretched out his right hand, and Azazel immediately handed him a cigarette.
Summoning a flame to light the smoke, Heisenberg took a puff of smoke and continued.
"You know, what if it's not us who come this time, but some other army or police...
If they come, your wife and children will be in danger because of you!
You are Magneto, the thug who attacked President United States.
The most important thing is that you are not an ordinary person, but a mobile nuclear bomb with terrifying power.
Be realistic, think more about things that adults should think about, and stop dreaming about escaping from conflicts.
As long as your power still exists, as long as the conflict between humans and Mutants still exists.
That way, when Mutants needs you, they will find you!
At the same time, when humans no longer need you, they will find you!
The world is only as big as it is in front of you. You can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime, Erik!"
While smoking, Heisenberg looked at Magneto at this time.
Obviously, Heisenberg's words really penetrated Erik's heart.
He himself had also considered what Heisenberg said, but hiding it for more than five years made him gradually develop a sense of luck.
Especially the birth of a child and the sweetness between him and his lover, those feelings made him even more reluctant to let go of his current life.
But no matter how reluctant you are to give up, when the reality is truly exposed...
Erik was silent.
He leaned slumped on the sofa and looked at his daughter helplessly.
Although Nina is young, she is still quite sensible. While holding the parrot in her arms, she was thinking hard about what Heisenberg just said.
At this moment, the parrot in Nina's arms suddenly imitated the words.
The parrot spread its wings and screamed loudly.
"Face reality, face reality."
The parrot's voice made Erik's whole body tremble, and he suddenly raised his upper body.
At this moment, Magneto's eyes were no longer humble and weak. He stared at Heisenberg's face and asked word for word.
"Xiao Zeng and I have a mortal feud. Why do you think I will go down the same path as you?"
"Because Hellfire Club is not his own organization. This club was founded in 1876, when Xiao was not born yet.
Also, because the current owner of this club is me!"
Heisenberg answered Magneto's words with a smile, and at the same time he stretched out his hand towards Magneto.
"Stop resisting your identity, Erik, even if it's not for yourself, you should think about it for your daughter.
You haven't felt it yet, right? Your daughter is also our compatriot, and she is also a Mutants!
Are you going to let Nina have to live in hiding for the rest of his life from now on?
Do you really like that your daughter will be discriminated against and insulted by others in the future, so that she will never be able to raise her head and live proudly?"
Heisenberg growled righteously while standing up from the sofa.
He came to Magneto, reached out his hand condescendingly, and rubbed little Nina's head.
Just when Magneto couldn't hide his shock and was thinking about the news that little Nina was Mutants.
Little Nina raised his head and asked Heisenberg doubtfully.
"Uncle, what is Mutants? Am I special?"
"Mutants is me, your father, and one of the thousands of our people and children all over the world who are living in discrimination and oppression!"
After Heisenberg answered, he slowly withdrew his hand that was rubbing little Nina's head.
It was only then that Erik finally raised his head and asked Heisenberg.
"Nina is really Mutants?"
"Of course!"
"So, this child has the same fate as me?!!"
"It depends on what you do, Erik!"
Facing Magneto's question, Heisenberg seemed very leisurely. He waved his right hand and continued.
"The meaning of our existence is to provide a better starting point for the next generation.
What kind of life your daughter will lead in the future ultimately depends on your and my choices, as well as our achievements.
I am committed to changing the relationship between us and humans. I changed Mutants to Awakened, striving to eliminate the source of human estrangement and discrimination against Mutants.
I still have to do a lot more, and our club has a lot more to do.
Until awakening becomes the glory in the hearts of ordinary people!
And what about you, Erik?
If you don't contribute your own efforts on this journey, can you really enjoy our achievements with peace of mind?
The most important thing is, if the club fails, can you wait for the next Hellfire Club?
Or do you really think that your old friend Charles has the ability to change the long-lasting relationship between Mutants and humans through his indecisive and extremely idealistic approach?"
After the words fell, Heisenberg leaned down and gently put his hand on Magneto's shoulder.
"Feel it, your shoulders should be carrying more weight.
You can waste yourself, but don't waste your children.
Don't let them down, otherwise, you will only let yourself down, Erik!"
Following Heisenberg's words, Erik was panting heavily. He was thinking about everything desperately, anxiously, and extremely hard.
My daughter is Mutants!
Just like myself!
Then, don't be a parent like your own parents!
I have the power, I must protect my daughter's life, and I have to watch her grow up and live her own life.
myself...
In the blink of an eye, Magneto stood up. He looked at Heisenberg and asked coldly.
"Can the club provide a safe environment for my wife and daughter?"
"If our future cannot be guaranteed, do we still have hope, Erik?"
"Well, your purpose should be to recruit me, right?
I promise you!"
After the words fell, Magneto stretched out his right hand and pushed down the palm of Heisenberg's shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Magneto gently took off his helmet and showed it to Heisenberg, indicating that he had lowered his guard against them.
Seeing Magneto's calm look, Heisenberg smiled and nodded.
"You are more decisive than I thought, which is good."
"I've always been decisive, always have been!"
Magneto said, while Heisenberg patted his chest.
"So, what title would you give me?
Don't be Black King, that's Xiao's banner, I will never be able to sit in the position he once held, ever!!!"
After the words fell, Magneto sneered, and then he spoke to Emma behind Heisenberg.
"Don't think that joining you means I have forgotten your previous behavior!
I hope the current Hellfire can help me see new ideas!"
"You'll see something new, Erik!"
Heisenberg patted Magneto on the shoulder, and then he sat back on the sofa.
While filling a cup of Coke for himself, Heisenberg picked up the Coke and gave a distant salute to Magneto.
"Regards your joining, Erik.
As for your identity, I don't have a good plan yet.
Now, there are only four vacant chess pieces.
Black King, Black Queen, Black Knight, and White Knight.
Obviously, Black King is not the choice you want, although it is indeed the best position for you.
As for Black Knight and White Knight, I already have suitable goals for these two knight positions.
Those would be two elites who are extremely good at head-on combat.
So..."
Having said this, Heisenberg showed a strange smile to Magneto.
Opposite him, Magneto's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Don't think about it, it's absolutely impossible. You don't think I can accept the identity of Black Queen, Heisenberg!
This is simply an insult to me. How about we have a fight now?
Black Queen, Haha, is there no position like a bishop? Azazel, do you want to change your position!!!
Emma, do you think I will sit in the seat corresponding to you? How is that possible!!!"
Facing the last position in Heisenberg's mouth, Magneto's attitude was particularly fierce.
"I don't know what kind of rules Hellfire Club has, I just know.
If you want me to join you, then at least don't humiliate me with the title Black Queen.
Even if I, Erik·Lehnsherr, die, I will never accept this damn title, absolutely impossible!!!"
After the words fell, Magneto stared into Heisenberg's eyes.
Even if he knows that Heisenberg must be very strong.
Even if he has no information about Heisenberg, he really dare not say that he can win.
But anyway.
There's no way he's going to do anything damn Black Queen!
Absolutely impossible!!!
On the sidelines, when Magneto really started to get angry.
Azazel and Remy suddenly became nervous.
Azazel's hands secretly held the two daggers behind his waist.
And Remy picked up his cane again.
As for Emma, she straightened her body slightly, ready to unleash her Mind Stone power at any time.
For Magneto, they are as alert as they can be!
And Heisenberg...
Faced with Magneto's resistance, Heisenberg laughed softly.
"Erik"
he said with a smile.
"Stop making trouble, all the titles in the club have never specified gender.
As for Emma, it was just because she was the first pawn in the club, and in order to be close to her gender, she was given the position of White Queen.
Does Black Queen have to be a woman? Who stipulated it? Xiao Mo, he is nothing!
Now is my time, now Hellfire belongs to Heisenberg!
Club titles are gender-neutral and have no special meaning.
I said so!"
"But..."
Magneto was still struggling, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, Heisenberg continued to speak.
"Besides, the more I think about it, the more I think you are suitable for the position of Black Queen.
I just thought about it, except for the two knights in black and white that I chose.
In fact, I already have a candidate for Black King!
Of course, I originally planned to let you be Black King, but if you are determined not to inherit Xiao's position, then you can only let him take this position."
Speaking of this, Heisenberg suddenly showed an aunty smile on his face.
His smile pierced Magneto's eyes.
For some reason, Magneto's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he vaguely guessed that Heisenberg had chosen Black King.
And next, Heisenberg really said that person's name.
"Charles·Xavier!
That is, the greatest Mind Stone ability user among our compatriots.
No matter what great achievements we plan to achieve, he is an important role that we cannot ignore under any circumstances.
Originally, I just wanted to confront him.
Let's try and see whether our ideas are more deeply rooted in people's hearts, or whether his west wind overwhelms our east wind.
But now, I have a better idea."
Heisenberg put down his drink and pointed at Magneto's chest.
"Gather some time and recruit him, Erik.
If you don't want us to fight each other, if you don't want to fight with old friends.
Then let him be the last Black King in the club!
What do you think?"
Faced with Heisenberg's question, Erik fell silent, completely silent.
Somehow, when I learned that the candidate for Black King that I would never inherit was Charles...
I'm actually a little bit happy?!
It must have been a long time since I saw that old friend!
It must be just that!
With this thought in mind, Magneto pursed his lips, then forced a smile.
"Well, I'm not a stupid old-fashioned person!
The so-called title is nothing more than the iconic title corresponding to the chess piece.
Indeed, no one stipulates that Black Queen must be female, it is just that!
So I reluctantly accepted the identity of Black Queen!"
After the words fell, Erik looked at everyone worriedly. Although he had accepted the title, he really didn't want to be laughed at.
Fortunately, everyone at Azazel is proficient in expression management. They are professionals and no one laughed.
Just like that, Erik quietly felt relieved.
By chance, his lover came out of the kitchen.
As she walked towards everyone, Mrs. Erik showed the tray to everyone.
"The coffee is ready. I ground it myself from coffee beans this time. It must taste great.
Erik, come and help me share these with your friends.
Wait, is that parrot a gift from you to our daughter?
Thank you so much. This parrot is so beautiful and elegant, like a queen!
Awesome!"
