Chapter 93

Located on the southeast coast of Africa, northeast of Madagascar, southwest of the Republic of Seychelles—Genosha.

This is a refugee home established by mutants with the tacit approval of the United States, managed by Magneto Erik Lehnsherr. The mutants on the island are self-sufficient and live a very simple life.

Although this world has a higher degree of tolerance for mutants on the surface, and allows mutants to live by their side and work together.

But there is still a group of mutants who are out of tune with ordinary humans. They may have been hurt by humans, or have hurt other humans; even more, they have both hurt others and been hurt.

Such mutants will come to Genosha Island to seek asylum; at least the mutant compatriots here treat each other more tolerantly. Although some people may have criminal identities, they can also live a peaceful life.

However, not all mutants who have committed crimes can come to the island. As the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, Erik doesn't accept just any scum. Especially those criminals who don't agree with the concept of a homeland and just want to avoid the limelight.

So Genosha Island can't be called a paradise, nor is it a so-called mutant nation. It's just a last resort for a group of refugees who are not tolerated by the world.

Of course, its establishment contains many elements. It includes the tacit approval of the United States and the US military, the efforts of the X-Men behind the scenes, and even the idea of creating a weakness for Magneto to trap this mutant leader who is both capable and charismatic.

Otherwise, during the most active phase of the Brotherhood of Mutants in the past, the mutants led by Magneto were like rats in a ditch; even if you wanted to find them, you wouldn't know where to look.

Unlike now, there is a base on the table. As long as Magneto wants to keep this sanctuary, he is easily restrained by other forces.

Since the X-Men's efforts for the establishment of this sanctuary were only behind the scenes, it naturally means that on the surface, the two sides rarely interact, giving people unnecessary associations.

At least the X-Men didn't blatantly transport supplies here. It's said that they themselves, in order to maintain the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, don't necessarily have the spare energy to supply a sanctuary where thousands of people live.

But today, the X-Jet rarely landed in the capital of Genosha Island, Hammer Bay. Rather than calling it the capital, it's because Magneto resides here, rather than other gathering points.

Because the X-Jet was too conspicuous, the people on the plane didn't need to notify themselves; Erik had already run over a step early, with anger, waiting for the X-Men coming down from the jet.

The only one who came to Genosha Island to find out the news was Scott, who was wearing casual clothes.

Looking at the big formation of two rows of people behind Erik, plus the two US military Black Hawk helicopters overturned on the ground not far away, the smoke from which hadn't dissipated yet, Scott intuitively felt that things were not good.

"What are you here for? What trouble do you intend to bring to this land again?" Erik questioned sternly.

"Erik, I'm just here to find Jean." Scott stated his destination directly.

"You saw what she did, but did you see her person? She left before you arrived, I'm glad the X-Men were late again." Erik mocked.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Scott cursed secretly: "Damn it." He was about to walk toward the X-Jet.

Behind him, Erik shouted: "Stop! You owe me an explanation."

"I don't have time, Erik. I have to find Jean quickly."

"You don't have time is your business. Do you think that piece of junk can take off without my permission?" After Erik threatened, he said his suspicion. He said:

"Although I don't have Charles's ability, I can still see that Jean is hiding something from me. Those soldiers are the same, asking me if I still don't know as soon as they opened their mouths.

"It's a pity they fled in a panic, and didn't say a word of what should have been said. So, what things should I know, you'd better explain clearly to me."

"You tell me what happened here first." Scott said.

Although Erik didn't roar angrily, his way of staring at people and speaking in a low voice was equally imposing. He said: "Kid, I'm not bargaining with you. Speak, otherwise I'll find the answer in my own way."

The Cyclops now is not the second-generation mutant leader who will achieve great things in the future. Compared to ordinary people, he is at best a young man who has not been graduated from college for long, was stationed overseas by the military, and has fought a few hard battles.

Facing the pressure of the first-generation mutant leader Magneto, although he didn't show fear, he still told the story of the great battle in Red Hook town. This counts as yielding in his heart.

Erik of course didn't care about the cause and effect of the great battle, he only cared about the two injured mutants. He asked: "What happened to Raven and Peter?"

The father-son relationship between Erik and Peter at this time has not been recognized, only Peter knows this layer of relationship. So Erik's focus of concern is still on Mystique, Raven, who was once a comrade-in-arms.

"They are both fine. Peter has multiple fractures. Raven has organ failure due to being squeezed by huge force. But Hank has done his best to save her, and there is no danger to her life."

Erik said with disdain: "Two people seriously injured, and this is called fine? I really doubt what Charles has taught you guys, is it that if no one dies, it doesn't count as a big deal."

Scott, who just wanted to say so, was preempted, and he was also embarrassed, not knowing how to say it. He had to change the subject and ask: "What happened here? Why did Jean run away again."

Waving his hand to let others retreat and do their own things, Erik then explained: "Jean came here yesterday to seek asylum. I asked why, although she didn't say, I still took her in.

"Today, the US military came to ask for someone. In fact, as long as she didn't show up, things wouldn't have reached this point at all. Who knew she would take the initiative to jump out and cause this great battle.

"Thinking back now, it was when those soldiers intended to tell me what happened to Jean that she jumped out and beat them away. Judging from her performance, maybe she even had the intention to kill.

"If I didn't make a move to stop it, none of those soldiers would have been able to run away. After the battle, even if she wanted to stay, I couldn't keep her. She understood this herself, so Jean left on her own."

Scott reacted quite quickly, he immediately thought of a possibility, saying: "Could it be that Jean didn't know Raven was fine, thought she killed her, so she didn't dare to let you know, and didn't dare to stay? I knew it, she doesn't not care about us, she just can't control herself."

"Raven is not fine." Erik said quietly.

Looking at this big boy who was blinded by love, for the sake of his girlfriend, he could say anything. Erik felt that he needed to let the other party recognize the dangers of society.
