Chapter 124: Magneto’s Death

Chapter 124: Magneto’s Death

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

On this sunny day, students were playing and frolicking in the distant corridors and grassy slopes.

By the lakeside, Professor Charles, dressed in a suit and seated in a wheelchair, stared blankly ahead.

The ripples and waves on the lake surface and the surrounding noise seemed unable to draw his attention.

Not far away, Logan, dressed in a black leather jacket, Cyclops, Jean, and other members of the X-Men looked at the professor with concern.

However, no one went up to disturb him. Even some students who wanted to approach were calmed and persuaded to leave without bothering the professor.

"Professor..."

Storm, dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, looked at the professor's back with some worry.

"You know, the professor and Magneto have always been good friends, even though they have fought because of their differing ideals. But ultimately, both of them have always worked for the sake of mutants, including Mystique."

Jean sighed.

The others remained silent, their expressions complicated.

"I've said before, that kid is a beast, a fierce beast. When he looks at a crowd, he always sees prey, waiting to kill. Magneto provoked such a person, and it was inevitable that one of them would die."

Logan, chewing on a cigar, snorted coldly.

In fact, when he learned that Sabretooth was also dead, many fragmented memories emerged in his mind. When he first met Bi Xiao, he felt something familiar about Bi Xiao's aura when he returned to the school.

Now it seemed, it was Sabretooth.

Compared to that boy, Sabretooth was too weak, dying before he even had a chance to escape.

This group was extremely dangerous, following and worshiping Magneto.

With Magneto as their leader, he could suppress this volatile group to some extent.

But now, with Magneto dead and his trusted aide Mystique also gone, this group became a ticking time bomb, with no one knowing when it would explode.

The damage caused once it detonated would be unimaginable.

Nick Fury immediately realized the gravity of the situation, mobilizing vast resources to locate the Brotherhood's bases. They had some time, as the Brotherhood might not quickly learn of Magneto's death.

During this time, he had to surround the Brotherhood to prevent them from going berserk.

This day left Nick Fury overwhelmed with busyness and headaches.

The information came too late; with Magneto's ability, all surveillance cameras were rendered useless, and no one could trace his movements.

Even the agents' simple method of surveillance, tailing in person, was easily detected by Magneto. With Mystique's full array of espionage skills and Sabretooth's keen senses, it was even easier to be discovered and lose track of them.

Otherwise, Magneto wouldn't have been such a headache for the government and military officials.

First, they might lose a fight unless they were willing to go all out. They also had to consider whether Professor X would intervene and, even then, they needed to find Magneto first.

Magneto had been dead for several days before Nick Fury got the news.

Blame his subordinates? There was no need for that, nor time. If anyone was to be blamed, it was Bi Xiao.

The boy Fury had been watching had far exceeded his expectations in combat power.

He managed to kill Magneto, along with Mystique and Sabretooth. If not for tracking personnel hearing explosions in Forks Town and later seeing Juggernaut but not Magneto, the agents wouldn't have confirmed Magneto's death.

Fury's feelings were complex. The member he watched had grown rapidly but too quickly, making Fury question whether he could even recruit Bi Xiao.

What he thought he could control had turned into an unstable factor.
