Su Zheng smiled faintly. He knew Mystique would agree.
They had always wanted mutants to stop being oppressed.
They could not bear the consequences of that.
Su Zheng then released his control over Mystique, and the five steel bars slowly fell to the ground.
Su Zheng said, "Actually, I have another way to help mutants gain equal status with ordinary people."
Since he had taken Mystique as his subordinate, he naturally had to win her over as well.
Mystique's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that.
That was her heart's desire.
"What way?"
Su Zheng said, "As long as I become strong enough. I'll become stronger than Magneto and Professor X combined."
"Strong enough to blow up the Earth with one punch."
"Then no one will oppress mutants anymore."
Mystique was startled by Su Zheng's arrogant words.
But looking at his confident expression, she vaguely felt that Su Zheng might truly reach that point someday.
If Su Zheng became that strong, every problem would indeed be easily resolved.
Mystique said, "I'll stay by your side and wait to see it."
Besides, she still suspected that Su Zheng was Magneto's son.
She could observe him from nearby.
Perhaps she might find some evidence.
Even if Su Zheng did not become that strong in the future, his current combat strength was already formidable.
She could invite him to join Magneto's team.
Su Zheng then brought Mystique, who had already changed into another woman, to the dining area.
There were already many people there.
Professor X, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey had all arrived.
It was already noon.
Su Yang would not get up unless he slept until noon.
Everyone looked at Mystique, curious about who she was.
Why was she standing behind Su Zheng?
Could she be his girlfriend?
Only Professor X recognized at a glance that this unfamiliar beauty was Mystique.
An old friend he had not seen in decades.
But why was she standing behind Su Zheng? And why did she always walk one step behind him?
She looked just like his subordinate.
Professor X smiled kindly at Mystique and said,
"Long time no see, Raven."
The moment he said that, the scene fell silent.
Raven!
She was Raven, Mystique?
Everyone immediately grew tense, their faces filled with vigilance as they unconsciously took a step back.
They even vaguely surrounded Mystique.
Mystique was Magneto's subordinate, and they and Magneto were bitter enemies.
Su Zheng raised a hand and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous."
"She's my subordinate now."
Cyclops: "???"
Storm: "???"
Jean Grey: "??"
Even Professor X looked over.
Su Zheng said, "Mystique has turned over a new leaf. Everyone can rest easy."
"Eat, eat."
Mystique sat down calmly, completely unconcerned by their wariness.
Professor X also raised a hand, signaling everyone to return to their seats.
Still, as he looked at Su Zheng, he was extremely curious about how Su Zheng had made Mystique his subordinate.
That was simply impossible.
Mystique had been Magneto's subordinate for decades.
She had always been utterly loyal to him.
Even Professor X had been unable to persuade Mystique to return.
After all, Mystique had been with him from childhood until her twenties.
If Su Zheng knew what Professor X was thinking, he would definitely say that it was nothing more than coercion and temptation.
After everyone finished lunch, they went their separate ways.
Su Zheng was still somewhat curious.
Mystique was already with him, and Rogue would not be leaving either.
Then what would Magneto do?
He could not possibly abandon his plan.
On the third day.
Su Zheng heard a voice. It was Professor X speaking.
"Long time no see, Magneto."
He quickly walked out to the open ground.
There, he saw Professor X sitting in his wheelchair and looking up at Magneto.
Magneto was floating in the sky, a metal helmet on his head, a black coat draped over him, and a red cape hanging behind his back, fluttering in the wind.
His entire being exuded a wild and domineering aura.
Not a trace of fatigue showed on his aged face, only the confidence of someone in complete control.
Su Zheng carefully examined the cape behind Magneto.
That cape had appeared many times as a reward in the system options.
No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem special at all!
Good thing he had not chosen it.
At that moment, the others also came running out.
Cyclops, wearing high-tech glasses.
Storm, with her full head of white hair, alluring curves, and seductive dark skin.
Jean Grey, with delicate features and the aura of a mature beauty.
Beast, whose entire body was blue, even his hair, with an exceptionally muscular build.
There were also many mutant students, all pressed against the windows as they secretly watched Magneto in the sky.
Magneto looked down at everyone from above, finding the situation somewhat strange.
He had clearly sent Mystique here the day before yesterday to force Rogue out of the mutant school.
Why had there been no movement at all for two days?
Even Mystique had not sent him a report on her progress.
He even suspected that Professor X had captured her.
After thinking it over, he decided to come to the school personally, rescue Mystique, and abduct Rogue.
Mystique was still very useful to him.
The summit jointly organized by nations around the world was about to begin.
The leaders of every country would be attending.
If he did not take Rogue away now, it would be too late.
Magneto flew down and landed on the ground. He slowly walked toward Professor X and said domineeringly,
"Professor X, hand over Mystique and Rogue."
Cyclops swiftly moved behind Professor X.
Jean Grey, Storm, and Beast also came over, staring at Magneto with wary expressions.
They were already prepared for battle.
But they knew full well that they were no match for Magneto.
They simply could not defeat Magneto.
Even with Professor X, it would be the same.
There was no helping it. He was simply too powerful.
Originally, Professor X could have defeated him with ease.
But after Magneto put on that metal helmet that could defend against psychic control,
it became Magneto who could easily kill Professor X.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
Although Magneto was slowly approaching Professor X and Professor X was in danger, Cyclops and the others did not act rashly.
Because they knew that the moment they made a move, they would likely be knocked down.
Magneto could send them flying to the horizon with a mere wave of his hand.
As Professor X watched Magneto stop two steps away, a kind smile rested on his aged face. His bald head gave off a faint glimmer under the sunlight as he said with absolute certainty,
"Mystique isn't here, and I won't hand Rogue over to you."
Mystique herself was not in a position to say that Magneto could not take her away. After all, she had been his subordinate for decades.
But Professor X did not want him to take her away either, so he could only lie.
Seeing that they refused a toast only to drink a forfeit, Magneto was just about to demonstrate his power.
Just as he was about to attack them,
Mystique, who had no idea what was happening, also arrived at the open ground in the backyard.
She instinctively went to stand behind Su Zheng!
