Chapter 247: Brief Clash

Still wearing a yellow combat suit, a man pushed a wheelchair, and Professor X Charles sat in the wheelchair.

Their feet stepped on the air, as if there were a road in the air.

"Has psychic power reached such a level?" Ye Nan looked at Professor X, surprisingly not speaking.

Whether it was Magneto or Professor X, neither was someone he could confront right now. In this battle without smoke, he had been reduced to a supporting role. The only thing he needed to do was wait—wait for Magneto to hand over his sincerity to him.

"An old friend has come, yet you don't come to see me, but instead run to a warship to cause trouble. What kind of logic is this?"

"You, do you still think humans don't exclude us enough?" Professor X looked at the soldiers, shook his head, his gaze paused on Ye Nan for a moment, and said again, "I remember you hated humans the most. How come you've learned to cooperate with humans now?"

Professor X's words were a bit sharp. The world of mutants and the world of ordinary people did not intersect; they were more like two parallel worlds.

But parallel worlds collided for various reasons, and the final result was mutants getting hurt and humans feeling fear.

No mutant could withstand the harm of humans—that was an invisible harm that pierced straight to the heart. That kind of harm was enough to turn a normal person into an extremist who endangered society.

"Charles, don't say it so harshly. We are all fighting for the cause of mutants." Magneto lowered his hat again, seemingly unwilling to let others see his face.

"No matter what, we are friends, aren't we?"

"We are friends, indeed." Professor X also smiled, his psychic power surging out, "But I don't agree with your concept. Humans and mutants need to coexist peacefully."

The powerful psychic power covered the entire field in an instant. Even Magneto's magnetic field was under pressure. Ye Nan clearly sensed that the magnetic field surrounding Magneto showed signs of instability, seemingly about to collapse under the pressure of this power.

"Professor X's power is truly terrifying. But fortunately, he didn't bring that helmet. Otherwise, Magneto wouldn't be able to withstand his psychic power."

The helmet Ye Nan referred to was the Cerebro used by Professor X in the X-Men movies. Through this machine, he could establish contact with all humans in the world, whether they were mutants or ordinary people. At the same time, he could use this machine to make his psychic power unprecedentedly powerful, thereby wiping out anyone he wished to wipe out in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Erik, I wonder if you can withstand his psychic power." Ye Nan stepped back and visualized a shield to cover his whole body to resist Professor X's psychic power. As for the others, he was powerless to help.

"Of course I can." Magneto said lightly. A massive magnetic field immediately pressed over. Seeing this, Professor X immediately contracted his psychic power and engaged in battle with Magneto.

The invisible magnetic field and the invisible psychic power clashed fiercely in the air. However, from the surface, there was nothing unusual at all.

"These two old men." Daken looked at the two, his eyes gloomy.

Two old men—one bald, one always hidden under a hat. Daken didn't like either of them. He didn't know why, but seeing their power, Daken always felt a faint sense of fear in his heart.

"Damn it, a powerful warrior doesn't need fear. Fear only makes a warrior retreat." Daken cursed secretly in his heart. His own senses told him that the two old men in front of him were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Kid."

Suddenly, Daken felt someone pat him. He immediately turned his head and, seeing it was his father, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"How have you been in the days I wasn't there?" Logan felt a bit guilty in his heart. Although he knew he had a son, because he didn't know his son's information, after losing his memory, he hadn't thought about looking for him. Now that he suddenly saw his son, he didn't know why, but he felt very guilty and relieved.

What he felt guilty about was that he hadn't taken good care of his son, and what he felt relieved about was that his son was like him, inheriting his power, and might surpass him in the future.

"It's been very bad."

Daken shook his head, unwilling to continue.

His past memories were simply a nightmare to him, especially watching his foster father die in front of him. That regret, that sadness, intertwined to form a nightmare that devoured his soul.

"It will be better from now on." Logan hugged Daken tightly, determined that after returning, he would leave that organization and take his son to live the life of an ordinary person.

Daken didn't like others hugging him, but seeing Logan's near-delirious expression, he stopped and enjoyed this rare fatherly embrace.

On the other side, the battle between Magneto and Professor X was nearing its conclusion. One could see the air twisting, releasing massive energy. The invisible power finally interfered with tangible matter, and the whole world seemed to be collapsing.

Even the warship began to tremble slightly under this power. The surrounding warships slowly sailed over at this time. They finally realized that the enemy was invading this warship.

Originally, when Magneto's power shrouded this warship, they had already sensed something was wrong, but they had been trying to contact this warship, which delayed them for some time. Now seeing the strange phenomenon above the warship, they finally stopped doing futile work.

"What terrifying power." Ye Nan retreated again and again, retreating with the soldiers.

"Mr. Ye Nan, is this a tech-augmented human from your company? How is he so powerful? Even more powerful than Iron Man." An old soldier said with envy, "My name is Smith. If you open the service to the public, you must notify me. My phone number is..."

That kind of power was like a wizard in mythology, making them envious, so he couldn't wait to get this power and become a superhero.

"I want it too. I've saved some money over the years. You must notify me too. My phone number is..."

"Me too, me too."

The old soldier's words reminded the other soldiers, and one by one, they scrambled to tell Ye Nan their phone numbers, making quite a noise.

"Hmm, hmm." Ye Nan nodded absentmindedly, thinking about his own affairs.

The old soldier's words just now reminded him of something he had never thought of before—that is, spreading tech-augmentation technology to the entire population.

In fact, no matter what kind of experiment it was, it was initially established to gain profit. However, to gain profit, one must benefit all of humanity. Only in this way could profit be maximized.

In the past, Ye Nan always thought that humans were naturally weak, but today the old soldier's words reminded him—since humans are naturally weak, why can't they evolve later? As long as drugs for human evolution are released, many people will buy them.

"It seems I should focus on the civilian industry. Always burning money like this without output is a bit deformed." Ye Nan pondered for a moment and thought of a good way.

He planned to sell Superman serum in large quantities, setting off a wave of national evolution, improving the power of the Earth as a whole, and he, too, could gain unimaginable profits.

"It's just that the price should be set a bit higher. Otherwise, if it's sold too low, the cost won't be recovered. If it's too high, many won't be able to afford it. Should it be two million or three million?"

While Ye Nan was calculating money, the battle over there finally reached a conclusion. One could see the originally brilliant light gradually dissipating, as if it had never appeared.

"Charles, your power is much greater than before. It seems this period of time has significantly increased your psychic power." Magneto smiled lightly, without any abnormality.

"Erik, aren't you the same? You are also a mutant. You should know that we and the mutants created by technology are not on the same path." Professor X suddenly sighed. Every technological revolution represented a large number of people falling in the laboratory, and like this research on mutants, one didn't know how many mutants had fallen in the laboratory.

The number of mutants was not large. Every time a mutant died, it made Charles feel sad. Therefore, he had always been disgusted with mutants created by technology, because their success was built on the lives of countless ordinary mutants.

"We are all mutants, why distinguish between you and me?" Magneto retorted.

He and Charles were both committed to changing the living environment of mutants, so that ordinary people would no longer fear mutants. It's just that one hoped mutants would become heroes, become the protective umbrella for ordinary people, and let ordinary people worship mutants.

And the other hoped to establish a mutant empire, raise the status of mutants, and let them become ancient nobles, becoming the ruling class.

Charles and Erik were the same; in their hearts, mutants were superior to ordinary people.

The two talked lightly, diluting the tense atmosphere just now. For the two of them, a life-and-death battle was basically impossible.

"However, you kidnapped someone's daughter. Is this the right thing to do?"

Magneto said lightly. This was the sincerity he had promised Ye Nan; no matter what, he had to take her away.

"It's just an invitation, don't say it so harshly. But since you've come to the door, I won't lose your face. I will let his daughter go." Professor X nodded, not caring at all.

He knew very well that since Magneto had spoken, he couldn't keep Ye Nan's daughter no matter what. Plus, that person named Ripley had no use to him at all, so there was no need to make a big fuss for her.

"Then what about Storm Ororo and Duan Yan? They must be handed over too." Magneto continued.

Professor X didn't even think and refused, "Storm Ororo is my person. As for Duan Yan, he is even more needed by Mr. Douglas, so I cannot hand them over to you."

"Fine, I agree." Magneto agreed readily. He knew that handing over Ye Nan's daughter was already the greatest concession. As for Storm Ororo, that was not even worth thinking about. Based on his understanding of Charles, he knew the other party wouldn't easily give up his mutants. What he wanted was just Duan Yan's corpse.

It's just that since Charles clearly refused him, not even giving face to his old friend, he knew that he probably couldn't get her back. Plus, this place wasn't suitable for battle, and he wasn't prepared for battle, so things should end here.

"Mr. Ye Nan, I have already asked for your daughter back. You should have felt my sincerity." Magneto lowered his hat and turned to Ye Nan.

Hearing Magneto's actions, Professor X's expression could no longer remain calm, "Sure enough, Erik and Ye Nan have joined forces. With Erik's strength plus ICQ Company's money and influence, this is another troublesome opponent. It seems my plan should also be advanced."

"We agreed on my daughter plus Ororo and Duan Yan's remains. You didn't do this point." Ye Nan kept a straight face, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"But the problem now is that Charles has come. We can't take her away. Maybe even we ourselves will be left here." Magneto explained.

"But please believe that as long as there is an opportunity, I will bring Ororo and Duan Yan back to you."

Hearing this, Ye Nan had to nod, "Since that's the case, I'll believe you one more time." ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
