To be honest, Lin Rui had always thought that Professor Charles is very strong, he may be even better than the Level-5 Mutant Iceman who cannot fully exert his own strength. After all, his mutant ability is telepathy and control, which poses a greater threat to people. However, Lin Rui never regarded Professor Charles as a combatant type person, he was more like a leader, a wise old man.
So, after hearing that Professor Charles is coming to this battle, Lin Rui was a little surprised. But he quickly accepted the situation, after all, Professor Charles had once used his powers to make the world fear him.
“Since you said that this station is significant, then I will do my best. Moreover, there are some Mutants in Hydra that would not be easy to deal with. I hope to limit those people from causing any harm and save more of our kind.” After hearing Lin Rui’s obvious surprise, Charles continued to answer indifferently.
Listening to Charles mentioning Mutants in Hydra, Lin Rui’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Having been so preoccupied with Infinity Stone lately, Lin Rui has forgotten something important. That’s Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, the children of Magneto.
From the beginning, after learning that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were working for Hydra, Lin Rui wondered if the Brotherhood of Mutants led by Magneto had any connection to Hydra. Of course, it is possible that Magneto did not know he had such a pair of children and Lin Rui could use this to make Magneto and Hydra die.
However, if there is a connection between Magneto and Hydra, then today’s battle may have some variables. Lin Rui, who had already been broken by the broken plot, had to think more, but he really hoped that Magneto and Hydra had nothing to do with each other.
Magneto as the other radical force leading Mutants: The Brotherhood of Mutants, his strength is beyond doubt, the strength of the Mutants Brotherhood can not be underestimated as it won’t be any worse than X-Men. If Magneto intervenes in today’s battle from Hydra’s side, maybe their plan to destroy Hydra won’t go as they had planned.
“Professor Charles, a question has just occurred to me.” Thinking of this, Lin Rui quickly spoke to Charles.
“What is it?”
“Regarding the Mutants Brotherhood, have you noticed anything about them lately? Or do you know what happened to your old friend Magneto?” Without beating around the bush, Lin Rui asked directly. Lin Rui believes that the X-Men, who have been dealing with the Mutants for so many years, must know something about their opponents.
“Is there news from the Mutants Brotherhood and Magneto? They haven’t seemed to be moving recently, and they took some small actions which were within our expectations. Some time ago Magneto planned to assassinate a member of Parliament who opposed Mutants, but we stopped it. Mirage Knight, why did you ask this?” Despite his curiosity, Professor Charles answered Lin Rui’s question.
“Assassinate a member of parliament who opposes Mutants? When did it happen?” Although Hydra doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the assassination, Lin Rui doesn’t want to let go of the possibility.
“That was a month ago, and Erik didn’t do it himself. To be honest, Erik probably knows me better than anyone else in the world, and he has Mutants who block my telepathy, so I can’t find him.” Charles seems to recognize the seriousness in Lin Rui’s voice and continues to speak.
“A month ago? There seems to be no connection.” After hearing Professor Charles’ reply, Lin Rui can’t think of a connection between Hydra and the assassination of the senator. Moreover, it is not the first time that the Mutants Brotherhood tried to assassinate someone from the government. Magneto did not personally take action, it should be an act of simple revenge.
“Mirage Knight, have you found anything? Or do you think Hydra has something to do with the Brotherhood of Mutants? I can assure you that the Mutants in Hydra are not from the Mutants Brotherhood, Magneto will not let Mutants be controlled by Hydra as goons.” Professor Charles seems to have heard something from Lin Rui’s tone and continued.
From what Charles knew about Magneto, he was a self-interested man, but a good one for the Mutants community. He was radical, but his starting point was for the good of the whole Mutants community, or else there wouldn’t be so many Mutants following him, and Mutants are no fool.
The Mutants inside Hydra are completely controlled, they do not even have their subjective consciousness. Magneto couldn’t have done this to his own kind, that’s his bottom line.
“Well, in that case, Magneto doesn’t know …” Lin Rui murmurs in response to Professor Charles’s assurances about Magneto and Mutants.
If Magneto really has nothing to do with Hydra, then Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch should be controlled by Hydra for other reasons. Moreover, Lin Rui has also fought against the two siblings twice, and he can also feel that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are different from other Mutants controlled by Hydra. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch seem to be less rigid, they are more like a cross between finishing a mission and taking a measured move while doing so.
“Mirage Knight, what are you talking about? Magneto doesn’t know what?” Although Lin Rui had said it quietly, Professor Charles heard it.
“Nothing, just … Professor Charles, if a fight breaks out, you might want to keep an eye out for two Mutants in Hydra. One is the Mutant with Silver Hair with Superspeed and the other is a Red-Haired Mutant with Mind Powers. They are twin siblings.” Lin Rui does not intend to tell Professor Charles this secret for the time being, but he can let him pay attention to the twin siblings.
“Mutant siblings? I will pay attention to them.” Upon hearing Lin Rui’s reminder, Professor Charles agreed.
“Don’t be careless, both of them are high-level mutants. The sister, in particular, is quite strong, she is probably on a similar level with Iceman in terms of power.” To save the X-Men from harm, Lin Rui adds.
“You mean that the Mutant ability of the sister has reached the Fifth Level?! How is this possible? Without the correct guidance, the Mind type Mutant ability can hardly be controlled much less reach such a high level. Who is she?!” Professor Charles, who had been calm, asked in a hurried voice after hearing Lin Rui say that Scarlet Witch was essentially a Level-5 Mutant.
The X-Men originally had more than just Iceman as a Level-5 Mutant. There was another Level-5 Mutant named Phoenix who hurt other people because she couldn’t control her abilities. So, in order not to hurt X-Men and destroy the earth, the Phoenix Girl exiled herself before she went completely mad. Now no one knows where she is. Perhaps she is hiding in an isolated place on earth or it is more likely that she is away from the earth.
“Well, perhaps I can tell you the answer after this operation, Professor Charles.”
“Okay, Mirage Knight, I’ll wait.”
Later, Lin Rui disconnected the call to Charles. After confirming that the Mutant Brotherhood of Magneto would not intervene, Lin Rui felt more at ease. As for the Twins, Lin Rui felt that if he used them well, he might gain a lot of benefits. However, these should be considered after the elimination of Hydra.
