Chapter 307 Losing money for the mutants
Professor X and Magneto are indeed shareholders of International Biodynamics, but they actually don't know this.
Professor X is a billionaire, Magneto...
Magneto is not short of money, which does not mean the benefits brought by star identity. Just by his ability, he is destined to be not a poor person.
Be diligent and you can go to mining.
If you make quick money, just sell the Kinmen Bridge...
If it really doesn't work, even if you play gantry cranes in a shipyard or a port, you can make a fortune.
Anyway, these two are rich people.
According to the traditional thinking of the Lighthouse Country, it is impossible for rich people to store their money in the bank and make them moldy. They either set up investment funds or handed over to financial consultants for management.
Professor X and Magneto are both busy people and have no time to take care of money and make money, so they naturally leave the matter to professionals.
At this time, International Biodynamics is the most popular investment target.
Those investment managers, no matter what sentry or sentry, are only concerned about whether they can help customers make money and then get more management fees.
Therefore, it is common for Professor X and Magneto to become shareholders of Sentinel Company and is not worth making a fuss.
But Logan didn't know about these things.
In his previous life, he was always a poor man, so he knew the twists and turns in it.
Sebastian Shaw only used a few words and some unrigorous evidence, which cast a shadow on his heart.
However, out of his long-term trust in Professor X and his vigilance towards Xiao, he did not fully believe it, but asked:
"What's the purpose of saying this? Let me deal with the professor, Magneto, or what you said...Moira?"
“No, no,”
Xiao raised his fingers and swayed repeatedly, "I said, I have no malicious intentions towards any mutant, I am like this to you, and Professor X and Magneto. I tell you this, not to encourage you to do something, but to meet your requirements."
"My request?"
"Yes, don't you want the Sentinel information? This is the Sentinel information!"
“…”
"Of course, as the Black King of Hellfire Club, I am also very concerned about Sentinels. If you know anything or need help, you are welcome to come here to find me!
However, I suggest you come next time and remember to wear sunglasses and a mask.
After all, you are a big star, and I don’t want it to be full of boring journalists.”
Sebastian Xiao said with a smile.
...
After leaving the bar, Logan felt confused and wandered around aimlessly until he walked into an alley.
"Stop! Hand over your wallet!" A loud shout came from behind.
He turned slowly and saw two white men, one with a gun and the other with a knife, looking at him nervously.
"Harrow!"
He greeted him kindly and thought that something was finally going to happen that would relieve himself.
These two white men, one tall and one short, one thin and one fat, the thin one tall, the taller one looks taller, and the fat one is shorter, the shorter one looks shorter.
Two people stand together, and they are naturally complementary.
Seeing Logan's front, he was shocked: "Farke! This is Wolverine!"
The tall man was frightened and trembled: "This name is so majestic. Which gang is from? It must be the boss above, right? It's over, and the robber is robbed..."
The short man said contemptuously: "Wolverine doesn't know! Do you just know how to fight against grass? He is a movie star!"
"star?"
The tall man breathed a sigh of relief, and then he became brave: "These damn stars are all very rich, otherwise..."
"Don't even think about it!"
"Why? We made a big deal and left here and waited for the police to come over, and we would have gone far away!"
"He is a mutant! Mutant! Swhoo..." The short man made a classic move of Wolverine stretching out his steel claws before the fight. "He is super capable of fighting. Except for a few mutants such as Professor X and Magneto, no one can beat him!"
Logan was stunned. The other party actually recognized him. Maybe he was still his own fan, so he lost half of the fun.
He was a little discouraged and walked away.
Unexpectedly, the tall man said happily: "Is he a star? or a mutant? Isn't that better?"
After saying that, he stuffed the gun into his arms and fell to the ground.
"I've hit people! Celebrities have hit people! Mutants have hit people! Mutants say that humans are inferior creatures and deserve to be bullied!" He shouted, while stealing a short time to say to Logan, "You have to pay for money, otherwise I will let you know that humans are not easy to bully!"
Logan: “…”
Seeing his eyes were angry, the tall man slowly stretched out his sharp steel claws from his fist, he felt a little weak, and hurriedly threatened: "Boy, if you don't want to arouse the hostility of ordinary people to mutants, just pay the money honestly! I don't want much, just one hundred thousand, you are a big star, and you must not be short of this little money!"
Logan was about to speak, and with a click, the short man fell to the ground: "When he saw that he had a share, he wanted 100,000, and I also wanted 100,000!"
“…I want money, right?”
Logan thought for a while and retracted the steel claws.
The tall man nodded wildly: "Yes, I don't want more, I only need ten...150,000, and the additional 50,000 will be regarded as making friends. In the future, someone will say bad things about you and mutants. I promise to stand on your side!"
The short one follows the example: "Yes, I want 150,000. If you add 50,000 more, I will definitely help you talk to the mutants. Maybe you can run for president in the future. I promise to vote for you. Not only me, I will also let others vote for you. If you add 50,000 more, you will have the opportunity to be president, which is more cost-effective!"
Logan: “…”
He suddenly felt that although Magneto's star plan won the favor of many people and reduced the conflict between mutants and ordinary people, in the eyes of some people, mutants have become fat sheep who are powerful but dare not use them.
Just like Africans who look at white people decades later, you have to accommodate me if you are useless. If you don’t accommodate me, it’s racial discrimination.
If you are a mutant, you must be blackmailed by me, otherwise you will bully me and humans. After all, you are a mutant.
In order to integrate into humanity and to take into account the overall situation, even if you have any objections or are wronged, you must hold it in.
Is such a human being trustworthy?
Professor X said, "It is better to diffuse than blockage, and it is better to lead than diffuse", but clearing and guiding must also be based on blockage.
Just like a virus, if you don't delay its spread through isolation, even if herd immunity is theoretically feasible, it may be completely out of control before the immune system is established.
Perhaps, humans will invent other weapons without sentries, but this is not the reason why he lets the sentries appear!
There is also what Professor X said that the future can change.
Indeed, the future can change, otherwise he would not have returned to the present.
But the changing future is not necessarily the future they want, because they are changing, but human beings have not changed.
As long as there are people like Bolivar and these two gangsters who want to gain benefits from the opposition between mutants and ordinary people, the Sentinel is unlikely to become a housekeeping robot.
