43 Magneto

"--- Magneto!"

The Black King and the White Queen's expressions tightened. It was evident that they both feared Magneto.

Magneto founded the Brotherhood and led mutants and humans in their struggle. He had high prestige in the mutant society, and his strength ranked among the very top among all mutants.

Moreover, Magneto had brought along several helpers.

Over a dozen mutants, none of them to be trifled with: Scarlet Witch, Toad, Sabretooth, and others, all possessed considerable strength.

"Magneto, if you had arrived a little later, you might not have seen me, your collaborator."

Seeing Magneto appear, Fang Ye smiled.

However, deep in his heart, Fang Ye remained vigilant. He couldn't be sure if Magneto had come purely to help or if he had other motives, like Hellfire had.

After all, one should never let down their guard.

Fang Ye wasn't foolish enough to believe that Magneto had no other intentions and just came to rescue him.

Furthermore, the timing of Magneto's arrival was quite coincidental. He came exactly when things were at a critical point.

Magneto didn't know that within such a short time, Fang Ye had gone through a myriad of thoughts. He nodded to Fang Ye with a smile and then surveyed the surroundings.

"Charles, come out! I know you're here too!"

After Magneto spoke, a car approached from a distance and eventually stopped not far away.

When the car door opened, an old man in a wheelchair, Professor X, emerged, accompanied by two individuals: Cyclops (Scott Summers) and Storm (Ororo Munroe).

"Erik, it's been a while!"

Professor X first greeted Magneto and then looked at Fang Ye.

"Mr. Fang Ye, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"Professor X, are you also going to stand in my way?"

Fang Ye's expression turned somewhat unsightly. He hadn't expected that the X-Mansion would also get involved at this moment.

Various forces were getting involved, as if it had all been rehearsed beforehand, each arriving one after another. Fang Ye felt that things were becoming more complicated, and he even began to suspect if they were truly after just the human-enhancing potions.

Professor X smiled gently and replied, "Mr. Fang Ye, you've misunderstood. We're different from them. Our purpose in coming here is only to have you destroy the human-enhancing potions and the Hulk serum. I've said before that they should not exist in this world."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then we'll have to go to the Yueyi Building ourselves!"

Fang Ye's expression turned cold. It seemed that Professor X was determined to have the human-enhancing potions and the Hulk serum destroyed.

Fang Ye looked at Magneto and made a proposal.

"Magneto, if you help me delay them, as an exchange, I will fully support the development of the Brotherhood in the future, and I won't go back on my word!"

"Deal!"

Magneto's face lit up with a smile. With Fang Ye's full support, the Brotherhood's development would advance by leaps and bounds!

In fact, Magneto had considered destroying the human-enhancing potions himself because they posed too much danger to mutants. If they were destroyed, it would be for the better.

However, Magneto valued Fang Ye's capabilities more. Even if the human-enhancing potions were destroyed now, there might be other similar potions in the future. Would they have to destroy each one that appeared?

Then, he would have no time for anything else, as he would have to constantly be on guard against human scientists.

"Erik, you should know the danger the human-enhancing potions pose to mutants. They must be destroyed. I hope we can reach an agreement on this matter."

Seeing Magneto agree to Fang Ye's proposal, Professor X furrowed his brow. He held out hope that he could persuade Magneto, but he knew that this old friend of his wasn't someone easily swayed.

Magneto didn't answer Professor X's words but gestured for Fang Ye to leave first.

Professor X sighed inwardly, realizing that Magneto had made up his mind, and there was no changing it.

Fang Ye understood and glanced at Peter Parker beside him.

"Spider-Man, I leave this woman to you!"

"Understood!"

When Peter Parker agreed, Fang Ye pushed Natasha towards him.

With Natasha coming his way, Peter Parker leaped into the air with open arms as if he was about to catch her.

At that moment, Fang Ye sensed danger and instantly entered his instinctual combat state.

But it was too late; he only managed to avoid the webbing shot by Peter Parker, who then kicked him away.

Peter Parker's strength far exceeded Natasha's. Fang Ye was sent flying seven or eight meters away, crashing heavily into a wall that collapsed under the impact.

Seizing the opportunity, Natasha freed herself from the webbing and joined up with Daredevil and Hawkeye.

"Mr. Fang Ye, surprised to see us?"

The White Queen wore a charming smile as she stepped forward. Evidently, Peter Parker had been under her control all along.

"What a clever trick!"

Getting up from the rubble and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Fang Ye couldn't help but praise her.

Perhaps Peter Parker had been under their control long before, but the White Queen had refrained from acting until the crucial moment, catching Fang Ye off guard.

Fang Ye wasn't entirely unprepared; it was just that Peter Parker appeared natural and showed no signs of being controlled. However, this demonstrated the White Queen's incredibly powerful telepathic control.

"Attack! Protect Mr. Fang Ye's escape route!"

Perhaps Magneto had had other intentions before, but after reaching an agreement with Fang Ye, his only goal was to protect Fang Ye!

Because Fang Ye's ability to accumulate wealth deserved Magneto's attention.

With Fang Ye's full support, Magneto believed that the Brotherhood's influence would surpass both the X-Mansion and the Hellfire Club within a few years, becoming the number one force among mutants!

Activating their powers, a grand melee ensued.

Professor X sighed inwardly as he activated his telepathic power, and with the White Queen's timely assistance, nearly half of the Brotherhood's members were controlled.

Seeing this, Magneto roared in anger and unleashed his mighty magnetic power.

Metal objects flew everywhere, the momentum awe-inspiring, like an earthquake. Metal objects from nearby buildings were drawn out one after another, causing over a dozen buildings to collapse.

The scene was grand and earth-shattering, causing Fang Ye to click his tongue in astonishment.

But this wasn't the time to be amazed. Taking advantage of the chaos, Fang Ye turned around and escaped...

"Hmph! Do you think you can run?"

Seeing Fang Ye trying to escape, the Black King coldly snorted and chased after him with unparalleled speed.

Shortly after, Daredevil, Natasha, and Cyclops all rushed towards Fang Ye.

The rest of the Brotherhood stayed behind, controlled by Professor X and the White Queen, while they focused on holding off Magneto and the Brotherhood members.

Fang Ye run quickly and get into a car which was nearby and started driving it at full speed towards his research facility. The people following him also had their own vehicles, then an intense chase started.

Seeing the three cars tailing him closely in the rearview mirror, Fang Ye furrowed his brow.

Immediately, a fierce determination filled his face.

Because even if he managed to return to the Yueyi Building, with just ten super soldiers like Shu Long, he feared that they wouldn't be a match for these four.

The Black King's strength alone was uncertain, and Shu Long and the others had just injected the serum and hadn't fully mastered their powers yet. At most, they could only stall them for a while.

Fang Ye sighed inwardly, as he had already made up his mind. After returning to the Yueyi Building, he would have Shu Long and the others stall the four while he went to the research lab and injected the Hulk serum!

If it didn't succeed, everything would be over!

If it succeeded, Fang Ye would gain the strength to turn the tables!

If he weren't forced to this point, Fang Ye wouldn't want to inject the Hulk serum at this time, as the success rate of the serum fusion was currently too low.

If he just waited a little longer, he believed that Dr. Conner could definitely improve the fusion success rate.

Unfortunately, those forces didn't give him any time...

"After injecting the Hulk serum, I don't believe I won't be able to kill you all..."

Fang Ye's eyes flashed with determination. At this moment, his only choice was to give it his all and leave the rest to fate!
