No One Can Save Magneto—Not on My Watch!

Su Zheng looked at the stunningly beautiful, curvaceous Jean Grey and was just about to say that he was free.

Then Professor X rolled over in his wheelchair.

He stopped right in front of Su Zheng, blocking the space between him and Jean Grey.

With a kind smile on his face and a trace of shock in his eyes, Professor X asked,

"Is that friend of yours a mutant too?"

All he had sensed in Hulk's mind were anger and a tiny shred of reason.

Su Zheng said, "He isn't a mutant. He was just hit by gamma radiation and ended up like this."

"And don't you have anything else to do?"

"Shouldn't you be checking on the frightened kids?"

Professor X ignored Su Zheng's words and looked toward Hulk in the open area.

After confirming that every enemy had been defeated, Hulk let out a roar.

"HULK!!!"

With a massive leap, he shot more than a hundred meters into the air and landed far away from the school.

Hulk bounded away.

Su Zheng still could not fully control how long Hulk remained transformed.

He could only influence Hulk and make him leave.

Professor X looked at Su Zheng. Honestly, he had far too many questions he wanted to ask him.

For example, how did Su Zheng possess three abilities: incredible physical strength, magnetic-field manipulation, and immunity to telepathy?

Was he a mutant? Were his abilities innate, or artificially acquired?

Before Professor X could decide whether to ask,

Cyclops, Storm, Mr. Beast, and a large group of children rushed over.

They surrounded Su Zheng.

Although Hulk had done most of the fighting, he looked far too terrifying—hardly someone they could get along with.

Besides, wasn't Hulk the one Su Zheng had called over?

They were just as grateful to Su Zheng.

Of course, more importantly, they thought Su Zheng was amazing.

In the moment of crisis, he had dared to challenge a powerful enemy and step forward to protect them.

How could that not make him a hero?

As for Su Zheng beating up Toad, none of the children had seen it.

Although Cyclops and the others had seen it, they would not mention it either.

"Big brother, you're so awesome! Can I become as awesome as you someday?"

"You're so handsome! Can you teach me Chinese martial arts?"

"Can you be my husband someday?"

Su Zheng rolled his eyes at the little girl, who was not even as tall as his leg, when she said she wanted to marry him in the future.

In fact, Professor X's school did not only have teenagers. There were also young children abandoned by their parents.

Cyclops looked at Su Zheng, who had dared to openly mock the enemy, and could not help but feel a surge of admiration.

When faced with powerful enemies, he could only stand there silently, too afraid to move.

How could he protect the people he cared about if he acted like that?

Storm and Beast watched Su Zheng surrounded by the children, smiles appearing at the corners of their mouths.

If Su Zheng had not been here today, they would have had to give up one of their students.

That was something they could never tolerate.

Under the guidance of one of the school's teachers, Rogue walked out. She had been sent to the safe room from the very beginning.

The school had a safe room—or rather, a hidden chamber.

Once the danger had passed, Rogue came out.

Looking at Su Zheng playing around with the children in the open area, her eyes were filled with deep gratitude.

To her, he was the man who had gone head-to-head with Magneto for her sake!

How could that not shake her to the core?

As for Sabretooth, Wolverine had locked him up.

There was no helping it. Sabretooth was on Magneto's side and had invaded the school, so they could not possibly let him go.

Rogue could now stay at the school with peace of mind. She no longer had to live a life of constant wandering.

Rogue would actually become quite formidable in the future. She absorbed Shadowcat's abilities and reversed the future.

She sent Wolverine back several decades through time.

Su Zheng merely went to take a look at the kitten in Jean Grey's room.

Sure enough, there was a kitten there, and it was even wearing clothes.

But how could a kitten wear clothes like that? Honestly.

The night passed without a word, amid passion and entanglement.

Su Zheng stayed at the school for a few days and made things official with Jean Grey.

Then he left and returned to his luxurious villa.

Wolverine also planned to stay at the school for the time being and become a member of the X-Men.

A few days later, Su Zheng had thought the plot of X-Men 1 was over.

There should no longer have been any system missions to trigger.

After all, Rogue was already safely protected at the school.

"Hello? Fury, why are you calling me?"

After the incident where Su Zheng beat up Hulk in the street, Fury had given him his phone number!

Su Zheng picked up his phone, answered the call, and spoke.

Fury sounded somewhat anxious as he hurriedly said,

"Su Zheng, Magneto plans to turn all the leaders attending the summit into mutants!"

"We need your help."

This was a world where mutants and Marvel coexisted, so S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally knew about mutants.

They also kept certain mutants under control.

A major battle had taken place at Professor X's school a few days ago. There was no way they could have missed it.

So they began investigating further.

That was when they discovered Magneto's plan.

Through their in-depth investigation, they discovered that Magneto had not abandoned his plan.

Su Zheng was somewhat doubtful. "Isn't Rogue at the school?"

"How is Magneto supposed to pull this off?"

Fury said, "Magneto intends to operate that machine himself and turn everyone into mutants, even if it costs him his life."

Su Zheng was speechless. Had the world corrected the plot?

Still, he admired Magneto a little.

To ensure that his fellow mutants would no longer suffer oppression, Magneto was willing to give up anything.

That really was Magneto's character!

Su Zheng still had to take part. Otherwise, how would he trigger the system's choices?

If he could not trigger choices, how would he grow stronger and protect himself in this dangerous world?

But he still needed to secure some benefits for himself.

Su Zheng said, "What does Magneto killing the leaders of various countries have to do with me?"

"You should be the ones arresting Magneto."

The machine Magneto had created was fundamentally unstable. While it could turn an ordinary person into a mutant,

the genetic alteration was extremely dangerous. Before long, those who were altered would die from genetic collapse.

And China was not participating in this summit.

It was an important meeting among European and American nations.

As the king of spies, Fury had naturally prepared for this long ago.

"I know you founded an organization called the Illuminati."

"From now on, the Illuminati will be an officially recognized government organization, led by you."

"Your purpose will be to combat superhuman criminals."

"You may request assistance from the police."

Su Zheng considered it. That was acceptable. He had only mentioned it casually.

He had planned to go anyway.

"Okay!"

Su Zheng made a bold declaration.

"No one can save Magneto. Not on my watch."
