Chapter 1865 Lao Ji Fuyu, long distance at sunset

Professor Charles quickly understood Stark's purpose, and after he understood this, his face soon showed a hint of disgrace.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, Mr. Stark. You must understand that it is not only you who are hurt in this disaster, but we are also victims of this disaster. This problem is something we need to face together, and in the order of succession, please forgive me, I must give priority to my fellow citizens!"

"No, Professor Charles. You can't be so destined to be saved. Now the lives of countless people are in your hands. Can you really watch them, they consume their lives in the chaotic ignorance?"

"Damn it! Show mercy, professor. They need a hope, hope to live. And this can only be placed on you!"

Stark begged vigorously that with his character and his current identity, it is hard to imagine. But for the mission and responsibility he shoulders, he had to do so. Charles could empathize with such difficulties and difficulties. It is precisely because he understood the reasons why Stark did this and his suffering that he could not say anything to refuse.

Destroying the personality of a proud person is the second thing. The key to the problem is that his rejection will affect the lives of countless people. This is the most embarrassing thing.

Charles, who has lived in a wealthy environment since childhood, has not experienced the tragic past that most of his compatriots have experienced. Even if there are some hardships, his hardships will occur on his personal position, not on his racial position.

This makes him the biggest difference between him and his good friends, that is, he does not have such unforgettable hatred towards humans.

Without hatred, it is naturally impossible to die without salvation. People are creatures with compassion and empathy. When they can clearly realize what kind of suffering and hardships others are experiencing, it is impossible for them to turn a blind eye.

But, does he really have the ability to rescue them and save humans in this world?

Charles himself was also full of doubt in his heart. The moment when Domaum appeared before, he could truly feel Domaum's power. The evil and chaotic spiritual power made him almost feel the terrifying illusion of staring at the bottomless dark abyss.

It was his truest feeling to be unable to fight against him. After doing his best and barely protecting himself and his compatriots around him, he became more and more sure of this.

The strength of mutants is based on their eyes only staying in a corner of the earth. It is like there is no tiger in the mountains and monkeys call themselves kings. When there is no comparison, you can still be arrogant. Once there is a clear contrast, you will be immediately beaten back to your original form.

Perhaps in Stark's eyes, Charles was the only way to break the deadlock, and their hope was their hope. But only Charles himself knew that he might not be able to do everything Stark expected.

If this is barely done, then nothing can be said, which can satisfy Stark and give himself an explanation. But if you can't do it, you can't say whether you have a clear conscience or not. Stark alone will probably have the possibility of turning against you.

There have always been many tragedies in this world caused by people who fell from hope to despair. At that time, people can do everything. Charles did not want to test Stark on this issue because he knew that what people cannot withstand the most is actually the test.

Decisively rejecting it with the excuse of not being able to do so would be the best solution. In the city of Huiyao, even if Stark had any complaints, he could not do anything to him. Charles had figured out the links in it, and he was indeed planning to do this in his heart. But when he spoke, he suddenly sighed and finally said this.

"I'm not sure, Mr. Stark. You should know. After all, I'm just an old man. My physical condition makes it difficult for me to do anything that is difficult to achieve. And what you are asking for now is this. I can't give you any guarantee... I can only say, do my best."

"Of course, of course." Finally got the answer he wanted, Stark naturally agreed and promised. "Thank you very much, you helped me a lot, Professor Charles. I promise you that once the order of this country is restored, I will definitely repay you, I swear."

"I'll talk about it later. I just hope that one day I won't regret what I did today."

How could Stark just say one thing? But when he thinks about the dirty things the US government has done to mutants, it is difficult for him to open his mouth again.

Professor Charles is also a figure who has made great contributions to this country. Not to mention anything else, it was his contribution to preventing the two superpowers from breaking out in nuclear war during the Cold War.

If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid the Congress medal would be hung on his chest. But because he was a mutant and the kind of mutant who was extremely threatening, he not only failed to get the honor he deserved, but also suffered from fear and injustice.

From the implementation of the Mutant Sanctions Act to the military's X-Weapons Program, there is no point in treating mutants like him as humans. Not to mention that this country has launched a war of extinction against mutants. With such a premise, even if Stark is thick-skinned, he may not be able to say anything like the government's reputation is trustworthy.

Although that was a problem with the former government, the former government was also the US government. When he sat in this position, he could not say that he had nothing to do with it. So at this point, he must have to take the blame. Taking such a blame is almost destined. He was much more reliable at this time than he made a promise with a blank voice.

They are afraid that they are tired of hearing the lies of politicians. In comparison, they are afraid that actions are actually more convincing. This is a matter of the future, and Stark already has an idea on how to deal with the conflict between mutants and this country.

Of course, this is not something that needs to be paid attention to now. The most important thing now is to see how mutants can do it. All this can only be based on Charles' ability.

Charles still has the ability, after all, the title of the most powerful mind controller on the earth was not obtained out of thin air. He does have such strength. At his peak, he could even control the entire human mind by relying on his own strength.

But as he said himself, he is old and his body is no longer the same as before. If he could control the whole world through his mind, then now, he can only do half of what he was before, or even less than yet.

Aging is a shackle used by death to bind sentient beings, and few people can escape this. Charles is not so special, so he naturally cannot escape this vicious circle. However, that's it, it does not mean that he has no ability. After all, the most outstanding talent of human beings is to use tools, and if it is helped by some external forces, Stark's request will not defeat him.

He also made up his mind and immediately ordered Ororo beside him.

"Push me to the basement, Ororo. I think it's time to use the mind amplifier."

"I don't quite understand, Professor. Why do you agree to the President's request? Judging from your previous statement, you can completely reject him, right?"

Come on, Ororo has been following him, learning how to replace him and manage this city of mutants. Until now, Ororo is still a bit less time.

Just like now, she couldn't understand Professor Charles' behavior. He had already rejected Stark like that before, why did he choose to agree to his request in the end? She was puzzled, so she started asking him for advice while pushing Charles' wheelchair.

Ororo's lack of spirituality in this regard is what Charles is most worried about. What a qualified leader should learn most is to know when to compromise and when not to do so. Judging the situation is the most trait that leaders, especially dove leaders like them, need to possess the most. Ororo does not have this factor. She is too straightforward to learn to adapt.

Whenever this happens, Charles misses his other student, Qin Grey, a mutant with the same spiritual ability as him. This kind of person is actually the best candidate for a leader.

What the supernatural powers give them is the talent that can see through the human heart. With this talent, they can always be at ease and freehand when facing opponents with ulterior motives. Over the years, he has been able to run his own mutant school in New York under great fear, and this talent is definitely an indispensable contribution.

In his original vision, Jin Grey and Scott, the two students who made him most proud. One relied on his spiritual talent to see people's hearts, and the other relied on his own execution to control their whole body. When they were combined, they would almost certainly push the mutant school to an unprecedented peak. Unfortunately, this kind of thing can only exist in his vision.

Whether it was Qin Grey's parting with them or Scott's mistakes, they were all pains that he could hardly let go. Under such pain, he had to cheer up and consider the future of their race.

Ororo is the only student he can trust and the only student who can trust his great responsibilities. The rest are either not determined here or have no talent in this area. Although Ororo is always a little bit worse, she can still make it. This is like polishing a stubborn iron. As long as you put in a deep enough effort, you can still see some quality.

He felt this way, so he always spared no effort to teach Ororo. Just like now, Ororo didn't understand why he chose to do this, he carefully analyzed all his thoughts from beginning to end.

"I know where you don't understand, Ororo. You don't know why I chose to compromise, and it's about such thankless things, right?"

"Yes, professor. We don't need to compromise with humanity anymore, don't we?"

Ororo nodded, his expression full of disgust and rejection of the so-called human beings. Looking at her expression, Charles could only sigh and say to her.

"Don't forget what I told you, don't let your subjective emotions dominate your judgment. I know you have always been upset about what humans do, and I can understand your thoughts. But don't forget that they are still the masters of this world, and we must deal with them well without being fully accepted by them. To help them as much as possible is a very suitable way, isn't it?"

"But our identities are different now. We live here now and are protected by that person. Humans can no longer treat us, and we don't need to look at their faces anymore. In this case, why do we still want to please those despicable humans?"

Ororo's expression was a little excited. Obviously, she could not easily let go of what humans did.

This is normal. I think she was also a simple and passionate person at the time. For those humans, for their lives and property, she embarked on a journey more than once. For this reason, she even fought with her compatriots, and what was the result she got? No one was above all else. In the wars launched by humans against them, they were also members who were about to be eliminated.

Such treatment is enough to wipe out the passion in her heart and make her feel worthless for what she has done before.

Humans are not worthy of their efforts. She is so convinced that with such a concept, she certainly cannot accept Charles's behavior that tends to be human.

It can be said that if the respect for Charles had not been engraved in her bones, she would have really thought that Charles was crazy about gaining and losing his heart, so she would have done such stupid actions. Is Charles crazy about losing his heart? Of course, the answer is no. Although he is old, he is not as old as this stupid. Since he made such a choice, he naturally has his reasons.
