Chapter 125: Different Paths Don't Make Plans Together! (Part 1)

  But it's precisely because the strength of this self-proclaimed Huang Quan variant is too strong that Professor X feels his familiar feeling is just an illusion. After all, the Lin who came a while ago was not bad in terms of strength, but he was far from being so powerful. If he could make such great progress in such a short period of time, at least Professor X wouldn't believe it.

  And so, Lin Xiao's suspicions also gradually faded away.

  "Charles, just like any other day, now that I've joined forces with Huang Quan, how long do you think you can still protect humanity?" Wanji Wang looked at Professor X's expression and knew he was about to start lecturing again, so without waiting for him to speak, he preemptively said.

  "Professor, I must say that I have always admired you." Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

  He shook his head lightly and sighed, "Unfortunately, I've never been able to understand your thoughts, Professor. Humans have always oppressed us mutants, yet you only favor humans. Although I also know you don't want too many casualties, whether human or mutant, but I must say, as long as humans do not accept the existence of mutants, there will never be a day of peace between us, and casualties are inevitable!"

  "I've been working hard to improve the relationship between humans and mutants." Professor X looked at Lin Xiao, his gaze piercing, "Sooner or later, humans will accept the existence of mutants, and the current president is not biased against mutants. I believe that under his leadership, humans will gradually come to accept the existence of mutants, but your actions today are no different from pushing humans and mutants onto a bloody battlefield!"

  "The war has already begun, Charles!" Magneto was repulsed by Professor X's sanctimonious tone, especially when he heard his so-called theory of peace.

  As for Professor X's words, Lin Xiao had long expected him to say so.

  It's been decades since he was in his several tens, and he has been persistent with his own ideology for decades. Wanting to change his mind in a short time is simply a fantasy. Lin Xiao had never thought of pulling Professor X into his own camp, because that's just impossible.

  "Professor, don't forget that you're also a mutant. Why not ask the three friends behind you? Don't you want to hear their opinions?" Lin Xiao's gaze turned to Scott and the other two who were standing silently behind Professor X.

  If wild beasts are the kind of mutants who resent their mutant identity, then Scott and his group belong to a class of oppressed mutants. Of course, Jean is special, she's different from Scott and Storm.

  Facing Lin Xiao's questioning, Professor X couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow.

  If anyone knows Scott and his crew best, it's Professor X himself. He's well aware that neither Scott nor Storm have a good impression of humans, mainly because they were both bullied by humans when they were young. If not for his guidance, they might have become mutants who rebel against humans too.

  "You don't need to waste your breath, we will firmly stand on the side of the professor. For you brutal and inhumane mutants, we are not the same kind of people as you!" Qin refuted Lin Xiao's words without hesitation, her attitude extremely firm.

  "Isn't he one of them?" Lin Xiao's eyes flickered with thick sarcasm.

  "You're still considered a traitor to your own kind, seeing your own people living in misery day and night, yet you're still helping humans oppress your own kind. In our Eastern world, we usually call people like you 'Han traitors' or 'running dogs'!"

  Lin Xiao looked at them with disdain on his face, despite wearing a mask, but they still heard the thick disdain and sarcasm in his words.

  "We didn't!" Stormy exclaimed loudly, as a member of the oppressed mutant community, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if she had indeed become a "traitor" and a "running dog", just like Lin Xiao said.

  "Alright, you don't have to provoke them anymore." Professor X felt the intense emotional fluctuations of Scott and the other two, unwilling to let Lin Xiao continue speaking, directly interrupting him.

  "Whether you are mutants or humans, you have the right to live, but not the right to take away others' lives. Do you know how many innocent human lives you took today?" Professor X rebuked Lin Xiao with righteous words, his massive spiritual power surging towards Lin Xiao like a tsunami.

  On the surface, Lin Xiao's expression remained calm and unruffled, not intimidated in the slightest by Professor X's immense spiritual power. Upon hearing his words, he even snorted a few times, his attitude extremely disdainful.

  "Professor, I take back what I said earlier. You're not worth my admiration." Lin Xiao coldly snorted and shook his head, "All along, I thought you were considering mutants and humans from an equal perspective, but now I realize I was wrong. At your core, you don't acknowledge yourself as a mutant, and you're still thinking about the conflicts between these two estranged species from a normal human's point of view."

  "Have you ever thought about how many mutants in the past year have been expelled and oppressed because of their identity? Have you ever thought that they might fall on the road due to hunger and no one asks? Have you ever thought that everything they do is just wanting a home where they can live in peace?"

  "You don't, I know you think you do, but in fact you really haven't thought about these things. You've always been thinking about how humans can accept mutants. I admit that you have been trying hard, but your way of doing it makes me feel like you are standing from the human's point of view, and to mutants, it seems like we're just being given charity, taught. We're not beggars, we don't need your charity!"

  Lin Xiao's words caused all the mutants present to become emotionally agitated, even Scott Summers, who was standing behind Professor X, slightly furrowed his brow, as if he somewhat agreed with Lin Xiao's words.

  "We have hands and feet, we can be self-sufficient, but humans don't give us the opportunity, they expel us, oppress us, even imprison us, treating us like lab rats just to satisfy their own desires!"

  "Professor!" Lin Xiao took a step forward, his eyes fixed intently on Professor X. "Please tell me, what reason do we have not to resist?"

  Professor X fell silent... PS: Strongly recommended next week, hope you all support!
