This is the huge doubt buried in Rhodes in his heart, because in his opinion, if the mutants join this war, the direction of the entire battlefield will show a completely different trend.

The mutant is powerful enough to fight against the Hydra's army. Even if the most powerful beings among the mutants take action, the Hydra's army will completely collapse and become vulnerable. Humans can recover lost ground with the potential, or even say that it is not impossible to completely destroy the entire Hydra as he said before.

However, his thoughts were really too naive, because when he had just said that, Hank, the beast, had already shaken his head and said to him.

"This is impossible, Rhodes. Mutants will not participate in such a battle. Your thoughts are simply delusions."

"Why? This is a war related to the future of humanity. Are you mutants planning to stay out of it?"

As a straightforward soldier, Rhode naturally asked in an extremely straightforward manner. Faced with his attitude, Hank stopped his work, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose with his thick fingers, and then replied to him in a deep voice.

"Rod, if you want to know the answer to the question, you must first understand this. Mutants are mutants, and humans are humans. Although we are among the Avengers, this does not mean that mutants are bound to you. This can only be regarded as our personal choice, but it cannot represent the wishes of the entire mutant. And if we look at the wishes of the entire mutant, we have no need to get involved in this war."

"Mutuals will not forget everything that humans have done to us over the past few years. You have never regarded us as a kind of person. For you, we are aliens, threats, and objects that must be eliminated. Although we have been working hard to explain, you humans have never believed in us, and have no intention of accepting us. You are just targeting us, treating us as enemies, and as competitors. You even say that you are willing to commit devastating massacre on us by launching wars."

"Wait, wait. That's not what we did, that's Hydra's conspiracy, isn't we? Didn't we clarify it in the end? That's what Hydra's minister Pierce did, he started a war against you without authorization. The others knew nothing. They were just doing tasks like ordinary soldiers."

The topic suddenly became so heavy, and Rhodes was really caught off guard. He knew that if Hank was leading the rhythm like this, there would be no possibility of getting support from mutants. This is not a good thing for him now, so he naturally couldn't help but defend humanity.

"And so, that's just the action of a small number of human beings. Have you forgotten? We have also had peace and close interactions. In the past many years, haven't there been many people constantly actively fighting for this world for your rights? Not everyone regards you as an alien, Hank. Still some people will regard you as compatriots. You should believe that there will be more people like this in this world, especially after you mutants play a more important role. In fact, in the world, aren't you mutants becoming popular?"

"This is just a false illusion, Rhode." As a smart man, Hank easily saw something inside. This made him shake his head and smile bitterly. "Do you really think that this is the acceptance and welcome of humans after accepting mutants? No, it is not the case at all. The reason why humans today show enthusiasm for us mutants is just because of their inner anxiety and fear. More and more unrest in this world makes them full of their future.

Worry, they urgently need a force that can protect them. What is ridiculous is that in the face of increasingly powerful terrifying forces, traditional police and military cannot guarantee their safety at all. Time and again, they almost lost confidence in these traditional forces. And in this case, they targeted mutants and regarded us as new protectors. This feeling was like a supernatural incident and hurried to find a fortune teller to buy a talisman. This did not mean anything at all."

"At least this is a good situation, right? Even if they have some ideas, they at least accept you, right? As long as this situation can continue, as long as you can let them see that you mutants are indeed protecting them, they will always eliminate all distractions and accept your group wholeheartedly, right? Hank, mutants cannot stay out of the matter, let Hydra win victory, which will not be a good thing for any of us. You should know that Hydra really won't let mutants go."

The more he talked, the clearer he was, the more he was, the better he was, and he persuaded and helped him to understand his companions. For him, Hank was simply a door to treasure. As long as he opened it, they could obtain an unimaginable huge wealth. As long as they could hold this wealth in their hands, many things and many difficult difficulties could be solved easily. This was the most urgent thing in his heart, so naturally, he began to spare no effort.

However, despite his persuasion so hard, Hank's will was still firm and unshakable. He was not the young man John. He had lived for more than half a century and had long been used to human nature and intrigue. That impulse had long disappeared from him.

When facing something, he always looks longer and farther, and can weigh the interests more. It is hard to say what a good thing is. After all, there are many things that cannot be explained clearly by weighing the interests. However, most of the time, this is the wisest choice. It is precisely because of this that at this time he was not moved by Rhodes' words, but instead responded firmly to him.

"Sorry, Rhodes. I don't think your statement is correct. You know, I have lived in this world for a long time, and over the long years, I have already gained a clear understanding of human beings. They cannot accept us mutants. At least, it is absolutely impossible now."

"Hank..."

Hearing this beginning, Rhode immediately understood Hank's intentions. He quickly wanted to save him, but Hank shook his head firmly.

"Listen to me, Rhodes. I have my own reason to say this. You should know that over the past many years, we mutants have done a lot of what you said. Some of us have joined World War II and fought against the Nazis, such as Wolverine Logan and Sabertoothed Tiger Victor. Some of us have prevented world disasters, such as the first generation of the war men formed by Professor Charles, who once stopped the nuclear war that almost destroyed the world. In this process, we paid a huge price. Logan was transformed into a semi-metal existence by humans and lost memories of the past. Charles also had to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life because of his injuries. These are still light, because more of us have lost their lives in this process."

"There are so rare that every loss of a mutant is a huge loss for us. However, in order for human beings to accept us, we willingly pay such a price. But what do we get? What we get is betrayal."

"Humans do not accept us and exclude us. In any place, you can almost see anti-mutant remarks prevailing. Ordinary people think we have taken their jobs, while elites think we should not have such talented abilities. Politicians operate public opinion and treat those who oppose us as capital to seek benefits for themselves. What's more, they even raise our compatriots as guinea pigs just to steal our abilities and create weapons to destroy us. Mutants have suffered too much harm and received too much betrayal. In this case, we have long since.

I am already desperate for human beings. So, instead of putting hope on human beings to accept us, we would rather rely on our own strength to shape our own home. Just like now, water does not interfere with rivers, it is best. So, there is no need to persuade me anymore. Rhodes, as long as human beings do not change this nature for a day, your ideas will be impossible to achieve in a day. And if they make changes, that is not something you can do. I think unless human beings can fly out of this world and witness the existence of many different civilizations in the universe, they will not be able to get rid of this narrow mind."

Rhode was speechless. Compared with Hank, who is a scholar, his verbal skills are indeed much inferior. However, although he already felt that he had nothing to say, he still couldn't help but fight for it and made the final emphasis.

"What about Hydra? Are you going to let him go like this? Don't forget that it is also a threat to you. Letting it go is irresponsible for your safety. I don't think you mutants are so stupid."
