Chapter 1041: Respect has an expiration date, but fear does not. (Second update!!)

To traverse the universe and conquer the stars—this was the Federation's original intention.

But—

Immortality.

That was the true thought in the minds of President Baron Turner, or rather, the masters who stood behind him and truly owned the Federation.

Even the current public opinion environment in the Federation regarding mutants was intentionally orchestrated by these people.

The reason is simple.

If they didn't make the current situation of mutants so notorious, how could they arrest mutants and study them with a clear conscience?

After all, the Federation is an entity that prides itself on freedom and human rights.

So, they socially excluded mutants from humanity; since they are no longer human, they naturally have no human rights.

In short!

Marginalizing mutants is just a means for the Federation; finding a way to achieve immortality for those masters hiding behind the scenes through mutants is the ultimate goal.

Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is harsh.

Because in this world, since the appearance of mutants, there has never been a mutant with the ability of immortality.

Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, who could absorb energy to ensure his permanent youth, counted as one.

But Shaw was a villain who wanted to rule the world; it was impossible for them to subdue him, and Shaw didn't even have the thought of cooperating with them.

So Shaw died.

And then there was no "then."

The reason they kept Professor X stable was not only because they needed a dove leader within the mutant population, but also because they could use the visible Professor X as a trap.

After all, the X-Academy had been heavily infiltrated by them; otherwise, how could William Stryker have arrived at the X-Academy the very first moment the explosion occurred?

In short.

As long as the X-Academy was there, there would be a steady stream of mutants coming to Niuyuecheng, trying to find the X-Academy and obtain its protection.

Once a mutant with a tendency toward immortality appeared at the X-Academy, within half an hour, Sentinel agents would descend from the sky, sparing no cost to capture that mutant.

Unfortunately, this one also never appeared.

Until—

The arrival of Hawk.

Outside this universe, with the simple physical crossing of the starry sky, some of the behind-the-scenes bosses who had waited for a long time, and were almost unable to wait any longer, tacitly approved the "Hunt the Demon King Project."

The behind-the-scenes bosses tacitly approved, and naturally, Baron Turner tacitly approved as well.

Regarding Baron Turner's dinner invitation, Hawk raised an eyebrow.

Then he agreed.

He had tried to refuse, but Baron Turner's attitude was very persistent and firm, insisting on treating Hawk to dinner no matter what.

Hawk, helpless, could only nod and agree.

God is his witness.

He had thought about giving the other party another chance to live; after all, he is a kind-hearted person, so as long as Baron Turner behaved, this world would have a chance to be spared.

Unfortunately!

Baron Turner rejected his kindness and insisted repeatedly, trying to get Hawk to attend a Last Supper.

Or a trap banquet? ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
