Jean also felt a bit aggrieved: "I hadn't even had a time to say anything before you two started fighting without a word..."
Scott: ...
Look at how this turned out...
All the X-Men who understood the cause and effect were now feeling a bit awkward.
So, this was all a misunderstanding; they didn't need to fight each other at all...
Although it was just them getting beaten up unilaterally...
"Sir, we are already extremely grateful that you let us live once more, so we are willing to go to your Universe with you and contribute our own strength!"
At this moment, as the leader of the X-Men, Professor X wheeled over to Jean's side and expressed his stance to Ryan.
Since Professor X had said so, the other X-Men naturally stopped being stubborn, one by one lowering their proud heads to Ryan and choosing to submit.
"A wise choice..."
Ryan grinned and flicked a green syringe onto Professor X's legs.
Picking up the syringe from his numb legs, Professor X was stunned: "What is this?"
Ryan said calmly: "regenerative serum. It's a newcomer benefit that every employee who joins my faction can claim. It can cure any physical injury. Even if you only have a head and a heart left, as long as you still have a breath, you can fully recover..."
"I don't have that many finished products on hand right now. You can go to the resource department to claim your own after you join. Use this one first, you old cripple."
"I certainly don't want to take a disabled person who needs someone to push them back."
"Old cripple?" Professor X was speechless at this title.
But looking at the syringe that was said to restore his paralyzed lower body, he still appeared somewhat hesitant.
Not because he was afraid it was poisonous, but because...
Just as he thought of this, Ryan seemed to know what he was thinking and said dismissively:
"Rest assured, Charles, anything produced by Parker Industries is top quality! regenerative serum is much stronger than the recovery serum Beast made for you before. It provides permanent repair to your damaged spine, and it won't make your abilities disappear either."
"Very well." Professor X smiled gently.
What he was actually afraid of wasn't losing his own powerful strength, but losing the ability to protect the children.
And this was precisely what Ryan valued in Professor X.
The Spider Family needed a wise man besides him who could stabilize the overall situation and appease everyone.
Professor X hesitated for a moment, then requested: "Ryan, if our X-Academy leaves this Earth, then other children with Mutant genes won't get our protection. Can we take them with us as well?"
Regarding this request, Ryan grinned: "Of course, my Parker Industries isn't short of those few bites of food~"
"When we return to my Universe, I will also build a Superhuman Academy much larger than your mansion. And you, Professor Charles, will serve as the first headmaster, how about that?"
"I'd be more than happy to, Sir!" Professor X also revealed a smile.
Hearing Ryan directly grant him such an important position, he could finally confirm that the other party indeed had no malicious intentions.
After all, if there were malicious intentions, it would be utterly impossible to hand over the heavy responsibility of educating the superhuman children during their most crucial growth stage to him, right?
Professor X's gaze toward Ryan also changed, becoming somewhat admiring.
Seemingly strong-willed in personality, but actually meticulous in thought!
Courageous and resourceful. Jean was perhaps right; this man was worth following!
Ryan's face always carried a faint smile.
As for Professor X taking the initiative to help him recruit Mutants, Ryan couldn't be happier.
With Professor X's prestige in the hearts of these Mutants, he believed the process of recruiting those surviving Mutants would become very simple.
The Mutants regarded as freaks by ordinary people in this Universe were, in Ryan's eyes, each and every one of them incomparably precious treasures.
There are no useless Mutant abilities, only useless people. Under Professor X's guidance, he believed that even the most seemingly useless Mutant abilities could create value that ordinary people could hardly reach for him.
For this reason, in order to search for all the Mutants on this Planet, Ryan also used the power of the Mind Stone to give Professor X's abilities a boost.
Allowing him to cover the entire Planet with his mental power now even without using a brainwave amplifier.
Just like that, led by Ryan.
They opened portals one after another across the World, welcoming one Mutant child after another who had survived human hunting to their side.
Eventually... they came to the last Mutant gathering place on this Planet.
It was also the only Mutant sanctuary open to the entire World.
This was also the place with the most Mutants in this World!
And it was the only place that allowed Mutants to catch their breath under the hunting of sentinel robots after the X-Academy was destroyed.
And its name was — — — — Brotherhood!
The title of its leader resounded across the globe!
His name was — — — — Magneto!
As Ryan stepped out from the portal opened on the Brotherhood's turf, everyone in the Brotherhood grew nervous and went on guard against him.
Meanwhile, a figure draped in a dark red cloak and wearing a dark red helmet slowly descended from the sky.
Finally stopping in mid-air, looking down condescendingly at Ryan who walked out from the portal, his tone was calm:
"Are you a Mutant coming to seek asylum? Opening spatial portals, not a bad ability. Is this your Mutant ability?"
Glancing at the portal behind Ryan, Magneto raised his hand slightly, and the other vigilant Mutants around him finally relaxed.
Ryan glanced at the numerous Mutants and nodded in satisfaction: "Mhm, not bad. Congratulations, you have been hired by Parker Industries!"
"Hm? What did you say?" Magneto was stunned, then his tone, which had just softened, turned cold again, "Parker Industries? So you are a lackey of the human government?"
"A human lackey? I am certainly not. To be precise, humans are my..."
"Shut up!"
Before Ryan could finish speaking, Magneto had already rebuked and interrupted him, pointing his hand toward Ryan.
Evidently, Magneto no longer wanted to listen to Ryan say any more.
Swish swish — — — —
Two snake-like steel bars suddenly burst out from beneath Ryan's feet, rapidly wrapping around his entire body starting from his legs, until he was completely wrapped inside the steel bars except for his head.
Ryan's mouth twitched: "As expected of you, Magneto. Starting a fight without a word..."
"But sorry, I'm not prepared to play any bondage games with you, so..."
Crackle snap click — — — — — — — —
Ryan shook his arms slightly, and the snake-thick steel bars on his body were as brittle as a wafer biscuit, shattered into iron filings all over the ground!
