Chapter 377 The World of Local Tyrants

Roberto Scata. Alpha mutants. Nicknamed Sunspot, he has the same abilities as his nickname. He is able to physically transform himself into a hypermagnetic state similar to that seen in Sunspot Motion.

He heats the surroundings with ultra-high magnetic field movement, and he can easily raise the temperature around him to the level of the surface of the sun. And it can fuse and burn the hydrogen and oxygen elements in the air around it. In other words, he can create flames out of thin air.

Because what he burns is not a simple combustible solid, but a direct fusion reaction of atoms. Just like what the sun itself does constantly. The temperature of the flame created by Roberto can easily reach the temperature of the sun's surface, that is, a high temperature of over six thousand degrees.

This terrible high temperature is enough to vaporize most of the known metals on the earth in an instant. But Roberto is not a person who is obsessed with power.

Professor Charles and Dr. Hanke have repeatedly stated that if he can be more diligent, he can do more than just fusion and combustion of hydrogen and oxygen elements, and he can even master more fusion methods, and even various inert element.

If Roberto continues to train and is willing to cooperate with Dr. Hank's experiments, maybe humans will become more comfortable with the fusion reaction and control of elements.

"But why should I do this?" Roberto replied to Professor Charles at the time, "What is the benefit to me of developing new nuclear fusion?"

Roberto seemed a bit philistine when he said this, but he said the truth: "My family is the largest supplier of raw materials in South America and even the world. My family supplies 17% of the world's copper mines and 100% Fifteen tin mines. I don't think developing new fusion technology will do my family business any good."

Whether this is his excuse for being lazy, or his true inner thoughts. But once Roberto said these words, Charles and Hank would have no reason to force him to work harder to master his abilities.

The world is so unfair sometimes. Some people are born so strong, it was decided when they were born that they stood at the pinnacle of the world, and they are the objects that billions of people can only look up to.

Just like Roberto, he is not only a perfect level alpha mutant, but also powerful. It is also the heir to the world's largest raw material company, SKTA Materials Group.

Sketa Materials Group not only holds the largest amount of mineral output in the world, but also has made great achievements in agricultural products. In the fertile land of South America, the farms of the Scita Group occupy coveted high-quality land near the Amazon rainforest.

Ten percent of global corn exports and seven percent of global soybean exports. Linsketa Materials Group is also the world's largest grain supplier.

It can be said that Roberto was born with a golden key in his mouth. He doesn't make any efforts in his life, and he lives a life that billions of people around the world can't match.

Although he is a mutant, mutant discrimination does not exist in his life. His mother died young, and his father loved him very much. He is the only heir to this huge company.

The good life makes him completely different from the life of most mutants. When his mutant ability got out of control, what brought his father was not a shock, but a surprise.

The old Mr. Sketa kept saying: "My son is really different!"

Roberto didn't go to the mutant school to find the feeling of home like others, he had a home in himself. His sole purpose in going there is to master his abilities.

Because I can't control my mutant ability well, especially when it has such a destructive ability. It is a dangerous thing for yourself and your family.

So Roberto spent three years at Xavier School for the Gifted, but he didn't get along very well with the other mutant students. Because of his natural sense of superiority, although it was not intentional, the unconscious arrogance that emanates when he speaks has always made people feel uncomfortable.

It is this sense of alienation that Roberto has no sense of belonging to the mutant school. Until the year before last his father died of angina pectoris. He hurriedly returned to Brazil from the United States to inherit the company, and never went back to school to take a look.

Iceman Bob is one of the friends he met in school. The two are a few years apart in grade, but they have become true friends. Until Roberto left school, the two were still in regular contact via email.

"Bob! Welcome, my good friend!" Outside a mansion in Rio de Janeiro, a somewhat exaggerated voice came. Roberto walked out of his mansion wearing a South American-style floral shirt and loose oversized cropped pants.

He was a young man with dark skin but straight features. When Bob brought Katie and Cameron, another mutant student, to visit Roberto.

Cameron is a super-fast mutant nicknamed Flux. It was he who brought Katie and Bob from America to Brazil in just a few minutes.

"I heard you say that the mutant school was destroyed. I feel sorry for you." Roberto didn't pay attention to Katie and Cameron who came with Bob. He went straight to Bob and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know you must be feeling uncomfortable right now, so come here and treat it as your home. You can live as long as you like! If you still want any services, I will send someone to provide them to you!"

According to Roberto, the mansion in front of him, which is more than 1,000 square meters and has a huge swimming pool, is not his residence, it is just arranged for Bob to live in Brazil.

Katie's first impression of Roberto is bad. It looks like this is a rich and slutty young man. How could Bob think that this kind of person could help? Katie was puzzled.

"Let me introduce you, Roberto. These are our new classmates, Katie and Cameron." While talking, Bob walked into the house with Roberto Katie was introduced to Roberto.

Roberto just greeted him with a smile and didn't express much.

Sitting on the spacious and comfortable sofa in the hall, Roberto and Bob were reminiscing about the past, and at the same time chatting about some recent events.

"Recently, the international market for raw materials has fluctuated greatly, because everyone said that as long as Tony Stark's helium-3 is shipped back, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes. Market assessment The next two years will be the last price carnival for raw materials. In the future, when humans can develop the moon, or even Mars, these materials will become less and less valuable.”

Roberto said with a bit of a smile, but there was some worry in his eyes: "Ha! Developing Mars, these people think for a long time!"

Bob smiled, and he didn't express any opinion on the matter. This time I came to Roberto not to simply reminisce about the old days. Ever since Katie said those words that day, everyone had a fire in their hearts.

Young people are always easy to be incited, and they are always undaunted by difficulties for some noble purposes. This is the loveliness of young people, the kind of innocence that many people will no longer have after they grow up.

"Roberto, in fact, since the mutant school was forced to disband, our life is not easy." Bob decided to get to the point.

"I know, so I welcome you to Brazil as a guest. I can even provide you and two friends with you a job. You can live in this house as long as you like." Roberto waved his hand indifferently. wave.

"It's not just us mutants, Roberto." Bob said seriously. "I just said that this is a conspiracy started by Magneto. He wants to separate us mutants from ordinary people. Then start a war."

"Oh, brother! Don't make it so complicated. I can't control the entire mutant society. I'm afraid there may be millions or even tens of millions of mutants in the world! This kind of thing is too complicated, and I don't want to participate." Luo Berto shook his head.

"But what we want to do is exactly what you find troublesome." Bob said slowly, looking into Roberto's eyes. He told Roberto what Katie said that day, even including the establishment of a country.

After listening to these things, Roberto looked at Katie's little face for a long time, and finally said in an unbelievable tone: "Are you serious? A seventeen-year-old girl told you: We should build a country. Then You foolishly believe it, are you really planning to build a country?"

Roberto glanced at Bob, as if looking at an idiot: "I used to think that your head was quite smart."

"We're serious!" Bob said with certainty.

And Roberto looked first at Katie, then at Bob. In the end, his body began to tremble constantly. At first he endured it, but later he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and the whole person lay down on the sofa and burst out laughing loudly.

"Hahahahaha! This is the funniest joke I've heard this year!" Roberto burst into tears. "A group of underage children actually want to build a country of mutants! It's ridiculous! Do you think you are the saviors of those high school students in Toyo cartoons?"

"Wake up! This is the real world. Since the end of World War II, the entire world has been roughly divided. It is a dream to want to build an independent country, and it is still a mutant!"

Roberto laughed and accused Katie of daydreaming.

"Mr. Roberto, I know you are different from other mutants! You have never experienced the life that ordinary mutants have." Katie left from the sofa, she stood up, and looked at Roberto coldly. The pretty little face is serious.

"Because there are very few mutants, and even say that there are only a handful of people in the world who are richer and more powerful than you. Whether you are a mutant or an ordinary person, as a material tycoon, you will receive courtesy from others wherever you go .You have no idea how much hardship the average mutant suffers in life!"

Katie looked at Roberto, and she knew that this rich young man was actually completely different from her own group. They have completely different demands.

As long as Roberto is still this rich, the plight of ordinary mutants will never befall him. But as a fellow mutant, it was obvious that he didn't particularly care about the lives of other people.

This is actually the normal life of a group of high-ranking mutants, who completely isolate themselves from the low-level mutants. The same ethnic group leads two very different lives.

The high-level mutants don't care about the life and death of the low-level mutants at all. It is also this kind of loose sand that inspires Magneto to want to unite the power of all mutants.

Katie looked at Roberto coldly with a serious tone. She didn't seem to have any intention of persuading Roberto to join her and others. Instead, she talked to him in an allegorical way: "I know you don't care about the life and death of ordinary mutants, and you don't care about the discrimination they suffer, because None of this has anything to do with you."

"But as you just said. The day Tony Stark's helium-3 arrived on the earth was the moment when the world was turned upside down! The development of the moon and Mars is no longer a distant dream for mankind. Maybe ten years, Maybe twenty years. This day will not be long. The decline of the traditional materials industry is already foreseeable.”

Katie took a look at this beautiful big house: "You should cherish this kind of life, Roberto. Because there may be fewer and fewer days like this in the future. Think about the day when you have no money, or say When your child becomes poor, what will become of you and your family if the world is still like this, or worse."

Now that it is impossible to recruit Roberto, Katie directly said what she thought in her heart: "You are not the same as us, I don't know if you have learned that fable in school. Charles The professor has repeatedly taught us why mutants need unity."

"In the beginning, they hunted down the communists, I'm not a communist, I don't speak;

Then they go after the Jews, I'm not a Jew, I don't speak;

Later, they hunted down trade union members, I am not a trade union member, I do not speak;

After that, they hunted Catholics, I am a Protestant, I do not speak;

In the end, they came after me, and no one stood up for me anymore. "Katie just read this world-renowned short poem softly.

"We're not like you, Roberto. We don't choose to be silent. If our project ever succeeds, you need to rely on it. We still welcome you to come to us. We will welcome us as you have today Treat you the same, because you are our kind!" Katie finished speaking seriously, and was about to turn around and leave.

Bob glanced at Roberto and followed Katie's pace.

"Cameron, you said Winky went to the west coast?" Katie was talking to Cameron as she walked towards the outside of the villa.

"Yes, Winky's guardian is the leader of the West Coast Thieves Guild and the Assassin's Union. His name is Remy Loeb. He is also known as Gambit, a famous mutant on the West Coast. Winky hopes that Gambit can support our plan." Cameron talks to Katie, and they seem to have given up on Roberto completely.

Roberto stood up from the sofa, looking at the backs of the three with complicated eyes. Until the three of them were about to leave the villa, they suddenly said loudly: "Do you know how complicated it is to establish a country?"

The three stopped and looked back at him. Roberto continued: "Laws need to be enacted, and a sound institution needs to be established. The most difficult thing is to obtain recognition from other countries!"

"So you still want to persuade us to give up this naive idea?" Katie shook her head and said.

"Before you do this, you must consider whether the country of mutants can be recognized by other countries. Countries that are not recognized have no sovereignty!" Roberto walked in front of the three at the door of the villa.

"So?" Katie felt that Roberto seemed to have something to say.

"So I think your plan needs to be changed." Bob, who is familiar with Roberto's personality, smiled. He knew that his friend might have been persuaded by Katie at a certain moment just now.

Bob asked with a smile: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Roberto raised his eyebrows: "Why do we want to build a country. And from beginning to end, from scratch. Don't you think our manpower is limited?"

"Are you saying that there is a big mistake in the plan of building a country?" Katie was not asking Roberto, but was thinking about whether there was a problem in it.

"No, it's not about the founding of the nation." Roberto waved his hand. "I mean that sometimes we don't need to take so many detours. It's not surprising that it takes decades, or even a hundred years, to build a country from scratch."

"So what do you think?" Katie was a little curious.

Roberto compared this mansion: "Money cannot solve all problems in this world, but it can solve many problems. Having a lot of money can help people achieve their goals in various ways. Whether it is academic or pursuit girl!"

Roberto blinked at Bob and Katie, and said a very shocking sentence in a very serious tone: "Like buying a country!"
