Give Me a Bite to Eat, and You'll Have a Bowl to Wash

Su Zheng looked at the first option, completely baffled. What the hell was this?!

"Adoptive father," my ass!

Was he even qualified to be Su Zheng's adoptive father?

Did he think he was Dong Zhuo?

The first option was immediately rejected.

The third option, becoming president? President, my ass. Who wanted to be president?

He would have to work himself to death every day while people snooped into his private life.

And how could he possibly succeed? Although he was strong now, he and Magneto did not have the power to take on an entire country by themselves!

Just look at what happened to mutants in the later stages.

The mutants were nearly driven to extinction.

The second option was acceptable. He only needed to say it aloud.

He did not actually need Magneto and the Brotherhood to join his Illuminati.

And the reward was excellent as well.

From now on, he would have a way to deal with mutants.

"I choose option two!"

Su Zheng could feel an additional force appearing within his body, as though it had always belonged to him.

Jean Grey stood behind Su Zheng, her face full of worry.

No matter how she looked at it, Magneto had the situation under control.

The Hulk had been blasted away by him and had no idea when he would be able to get back up.

Iron Man, Storm, and Cyclops had all been defeated.

Su Zheng looked as though he would not be able to hold on much longer either.

Just then, Su Zheng arrogantly said to Magneto,

"How about this? The Brotherhood is too small. Have the Brotherhood join my Illuminati instead. Then you won't need to mess with this machine anymore."

"Follow me from now on and be my little brother. If I get a bite to eat, you'll have a bowl to wash."

"How about I get you a sister-in-law next year?"

Magneto was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't he the one inviting Su Zheng?

How had it turned into Su Zheng recruiting him instead?

And he was even going to find him a wife. That sounded pretty good.

But what kind of organization was this Illuminati?

Why had he never heard of it? Did it have a lot of members?

Was it also an organization for mutants?

With a trace of confusion on his face, Magneto asked,

"How many people does your Illuminati have?"

Su Zheng said, "We've developed quite rapidly. It's only been a few days, and we already have three members."

Magneto: "..."

What was with that confidence of his?

Was he proud of that?

Only a few days? Only three people?

He really had some nerve saying that!

Wait! Something suddenly felt wrong.

Su Zheng had said he would get him a sister-in-law, not a wife!

Damn it!

What use was getting a sister-in-law to him? Wasn't that just Su Zheng seeking benefits for himself?

Magneto's face immediately turned red as he glared furiously at Su Zheng.

Jean Grey behind Su Zheng had noticed what he said from the beginning.

Magneto's sister-in-law... wouldn't that be her?

Su Zheng planned to marry her?

Ah!

Jean Grey's face instantly flushed red. She lowered her head and hid behind Su Zheng, pressing her fair forehead against his back.

Only then did Magneto realize that Su Zheng had been playing him.

Su Zheng had never intended to join the Brotherhood at all.

At that moment, the Hulk's roar came from below.

Banner had already transformed into the Hulk while falling, and he was now climbing upward.

Like a lizard, he clung to the Statue of Liberty more than a hundred meters above the ground.

Magneto knew he could not wait any longer!

If he waited until the Hulk climbed up, he would be in for a beating.

Magneto focused all his power on Su Zheng, intending to restrain him temporarily.

In truth, he had never wanted to kill any mutant.

His entire life had only been about allowing mutants to live a little better.

Su Zheng sensed the magnetic force around him growing stronger and stronger.

He then calculated the distance between himself and Magneto. It was exactly within ten meters.

In an instant, he activated his ability.

The powerful magnetic field around Su Zheng vanished at once, while his own ability to control magnetic fields remained.

Magneto's expression instantly became incomparably ugly, as though he had eaten shit!

He suddenly realized that his ability had vanished.

It had not weakened—it had disappeared without a trace. Not even the slightest bit remained.

How was that possible?!

Magneto abruptly raised his head and looked at Su Zheng, seeing how calm and composed he was.

He immediately knew Su Zheng was behind it!

"Did you do this? But how is that possible?!"

"How do you have an ability that can erase mutant abilities?"

"How can you possess multiple mutant abilities?"

He knew there was a mutant with the ability to erase other mutants' powers.

But how could Su Zheng possibly have it?

Now that he thought about it,

Su Zheng not only had the ability to control magnetic fields, but also an extraordinarily powerful physique.

And now, he had another ability.

It was simply terrifying!

Jean Grey also sensed that the magnetic field around them had vanished.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and curiosity as she looked at Su Zheng!

Why was this man so mysterious?

His entire being exuded an indescribable aura that drew her in.

Storm and Beast had also heard Magneto's words. Their abilities had not been canceled by Su Zheng.

After all, they were allies.

At that moment, their faces were filled with immense shock.

He even had an ability like that.

Didn't that make Su Zheng the natural nemesis of mutants?

Luckily, he was on their side.

As for Magneto's unnamed subordinate, his face was now full of terror. He had also discovered that his ability had disappeared.

With a wave of Su Zheng's hand, a piece of steel bound him and carried him as it fell from the hundred-meter height.

As for whether he would die, that had nothing to do with Su Zheng.

The enormous machine beneath Magneto's feet had already stopped. The various lights on its control panel had all gone dark.

Without Magneto's power, the machine was useless.

Su Zheng slowly walked up to Magneto and casually controlled several steel bars to bind him.

Magneto had never imagined that one day, he would be tied up by steel bars.

Fate truly played strange tricks.

No matter how one looked at it, he had lost this battle.

Magneto's face was full of defeat as he said to Su Zheng,

"The terms I mentioned earlier are still valid!"

"You can think them over carefully."

Su Zheng thought about it. He had no interest at all.

There were only a handful of powerful people in the Brotherhood of Mutants.

They would not be much help to him.

And later, he would have to help mutants fight for their rights and battle all of ordinary humanity.

That was far too troublesome.

He had already worked 996 in his previous life. He had no interest in doing that again in this life.

He needed to live his own life properly.

Su Zheng walked over to Storm and Beast, and the steel binding them automatically fell away.

He then came to Iron Man's side.

Why had this guy not moved for so long?

Su Zheng scanned him with his magnetic field.

He discovered that Magneto had used magnetic force to create several protruding spikes inside the Iron Suit, piercing Tony's skin.

That was why he had been unable to move.

Sure enough, magnetic force was still too great a counter to Iron Man.

After Su Zheng repaired the Iron Suit, Tony stood up and looked at Su Zheng with gratitude.

"Thank you, Su Zheng! I nearly died."

He then glanced warily at Magneto.

The Magneto who had nearly killed him had been as helpless as an ordinary old man in Su Zheng's hands.

The comparison immediately soured his mood.

The Hulk climbed up as well.

The battle was already over.

Su Zheng led everyone back to the mutant school.

In the hallway, Su Zheng escorted Magneto along with the X-Men and happened to run into Mystique.

As for Tony and Banner, they had already gone back.

When Mystique saw this scene, she was utterly stunned!
