American comics: May the Holy Light deceive you

Chapter 93 "The Zhang Family" - 8

Zhang Ruixuan: "What does he want to talk about?"

Vega: "Since you can go to other universes, you must be very clear about what will happen to the X-Men and those mutants on the other side in the future."

I also know some things. When I contacted Professor X, I told him everything. He plans to send all those young students, as well as the persecuted minors, to China.

Vega doesn't know much about the X-Men storyline, only that the future of the X-Men and mutants is tragic.

He spoke with Professor X that night and gave him two solutions.

The first option is to establish a nation in the central Pacific and on small islands in Africa, just like mutants in other universes.

The second option is to terraform an asteroid in the solar system or another star system, and then have all the mutants leave Earth.

Choosing the first option would also subject them to targeting by the United States. In other universe storylines, the worlds in which those two countries exist do not last long. Vega doesn't quite believe that Professor X and Magneto, who lack experience in managing nations and whose people are not united, can avoid this outcome.

As for the second option, the main problem is that Professor X and his group cannot afford to pay an equivalent price.

Neither Professor X nor Magneto's team had the ability to terraform an asteroid, nor could they afford the cost of asking Vega, who could.

Transforming an asteroid wouldn't be difficult for Vega, but a habitable planet, no matter how small, is priceless.

Vega's intention in contacting the X-Men was to befriend them and to seek their help in case he encountered difficulties in the future.

But this is just a plan. Even if we really encounter trouble and ask them for help, their contribution can never be equal to that of a life-bearing planet.

The greatest kindness can turn into the greatest enmity; this principle applies everywhere.

Vegaren... how could he completely trust a group of outsiders? Just because the X-Men are superheroes?

Ha, don't be ridiculous. The X-Men are human too, and human beings are prone to overthinking, especially those who grew up in so-called free societies that are ruthless and lack gratitude.

Why would Vega help these people who are not related to him?

Kind-hearted? Why doesn't he help others?

Looking for allies? I think he wants to rule us!

Is he an angel, a messenger of the Lord?

Who knows if he's lying to us? Even if he is, so what? We can believe in the Lord, but we absolutely cannot allow the Lord to take away our freedom and slavery!

......

When the second option failed, Professor X decided to team up with his old friend Magneto to try the first one.

However, he was not sure if he could succeed, so in order to prevent the students from being implicated, he planned to send the students and those children he had been concerned about but had no ability to help to the East.

In fact, not all countries reject mutants. The United States and its allies are the ones that reject and persecute the most.

Mutants have existed since ancient times. They also exist in countries with a long history, and most of them have long since completely integrated into their respective countries. Some of them are even very important figures.

The main reason the United States rejects mutants is that the country is too young and the top echelons are mostly made up of ordinary people.

These people are afraid of losing their power and wealth, which is why they are so ruthlessly suppressing mutants.

Zhang Ruixuan immediately became interested: "What can he offer in return?"

Vega shrugged: "That's for you to talk to. I'm just a messenger."

Zhang Ruixuan: "Only those kids? If Professor X and the others want to join us, that's something we can discuss."

Vega: "You didn't watch some 'Mutants in the East' videos in some other world, did you? Just watch those entertaining videos and don't take them seriously."

No matter how bad the United States is, it is still the world's number one superpower. The East is not bad now, but in the eyes of most Americans, the East is not much different from poor and remote places like Africa.

The glory of being number one in the world is too dazzling. Just as the beggars in ancient China would rather starve to death than accept charity from barbarians, Americans today are the same. Most people would rather die on the street and have their bodies sold for money than go to other countries.

Sending the children to the East is currently just Professor X's idea. If Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Magneto, and others knew about it, they would most likely stand up and oppose it.

Putting aside other reasons, most superhumans are arrogant, and they would never think that they cannot protect children.

Zhang Ruixuan: "Ha, a bunch of arrogant nouveau riche who don't know their place. If it weren't for..."

Vega opened his notebook, took out a pen, wrote down a satellite phone number, then tore off the page and handed it to Zhang Ruixuan: "Go back and yell at him. I've finished talking about my business. If you don't have anything else, you can leave now."

Zhang Ruixuan carefully put the page away, stood up, and asked, "Should we go see them?"

Vega remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head in refusal: "No need."

He was afraid that once he got to know her, he wouldn't want to leave, and even more afraid that the emotional filter he had built up would shatter...

"Okay, that classmate of yours, the one who's now a teacher at your alma mater, C..." Faced with Vega's sudden change in expression and murderous intent, Zhang Ruixuan wisely shut his mouth. "Ahem, well, I'm sorry to have bothered you for so long. I should go back and report to my superiors. Remember to contact me when you're ready."

"Okay, I'll see you off." Vega said with a straight face, leading the way and escorting Zhang Ruixuan to the elevator.

"Goodbye, no need to see us off. Rest assured, we will treat them well and arrange for them to be in safe positions," Zhang Ruixuan assured him, and gave Vega a meaningful look as the elevator doors were about to close.

I will definitely bring those star-crossed lovers together, even though they fell in love at first sight but couldn't be together. Don't worry.

The elevator doors closed, a slight mechanical whirring sound filled the air, and a smile appeared on Vega's lips.

When Vega got home, she saw little Shengxi standing at her bedroom door: "Baby, why are you awake?"

Little Shengxi: "Daddy, are we really leaving here soon?"

Vega: "Yes,"

Little Shengxi: "Can we stay a few more days?"

Vega: "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with all that delicious food? You can eat it when we get home. The food in the East is almost the same on both sides."

"It's different. Uncle Zhang just said that the people with superpowers here have developed so many delicious foods that don't exist in other worlds." Xiao Shengxi first refuted her father's mistake, and then continued, "It's not just about the food; I also want Dad to spend more time with me."

"Oh," Vega's heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward and hugged his daughter, who looked like she was about to cry, and sat her down on the sofa in the living room. "Daddy wants to be with you every day, but Daddy can't."

"Having extraordinary power comes at a price, for everyone, including Dad..."
