Magneto

"I don't believe he did it either. S.H.I.E.L.D. has had contact with Professor Charles befrore."

Hearing Tohka's words, Nick Fury also felt a bit helpless. "Those guys said that if I can't come up with a proper solution, they'll release Franklin Hall. That guy is an extremely unstable factor."

Nick Fury was extremely wary of this man.

Although his powers were weaker than Magneto's electromagnetism, his advantage was that his powers had fewer limitations.

If he and Magneto ever clashed, it would definitely be a catastrophic battle.

"Who is Franklin Hall?"

Alright, Tohka really didn't know this person. But judging from Nick Fury's tone, he seemed to be quite formidable. And judging by the situation, they had already subdued him, which made Tohka a little curious.

"Franklin Hall? He also goes by another name—Graviton."

You should know that the four fundamental forces of the universe (from strongest to weakest) are: strong nuclear force, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and gravity.

Magneto's power ranks second, while that guy's power ranks last.

But this kind of power has far fewer limitations. Previously, we were only able to subdue him because he was unfamiliar with his own abilities."

As he spoke, Nick Fury looked somewhat relieved. It was clear that the previous mission had not been easy.

"That guy was originally a physicist under S.H.I.E.L.D. During an experimental accident, gravity particles fused with the molecules in his body, allowing him to control gravity."

"That immense power inflated his ambition to dangerous levels, He could've been our trump card, but ended up becoming a threat we had to face."

Nick Fury looked troubled as he continued.

If that guy had helped them, they wouldn't be so passive in many situations. But now wasn't the time to dwell on it.

If they really released him, it might lead to another earth-shattering war.

"Oh, I've heard of him. No wonder he vanished suddenly—it was you guys, huh?"

It had to be said that Tony's knowledge in physics was top-notch, and he was familiar with all the major contemporary physicists.

Now that Nick Fury mentioned it, he remembered that he had indeed heard of Franklin Hall before, but then, the man had suddenly vanished.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. If that guy gets released, we're screwed. Let's go—the plane's ready."

At this point, Nick Fury didn't want to waste any more time on words and directly led the group onto the plane.

Moments later, the planes accelerated and vanished from sight.

"Are we really going to war? I feel that if we eliminate Professor Charles, the mutants will become even more chaotic."

Looking at Nick Fury, who was standing at the command platform with a serious expression, Tohka walked over and asked with some concern.

After all, she was probably the only one here who knew the real situation. And inside that school was also the wielder of the Phoenix Force.

That was Charles's true trump card—someone even more powerful than Magneto. If it really came to a fight and she awakened, even Tohka couldn't be sure of victory.

"No matter what, we have to put on a show. At the very least, we need to shut those people up, or else we won't have any room to maneuver."

Glancing at Tohka beside him, Nick Fury didn't answer her question. Instead, he remained silent and continued looking forward, clearly having his own thoughts.

Just then, the aircraft suddenly trembled.

It came to a full stop, and the engines all shut down.

But the plane didn't fall, nor was it damaged.

Inside the plane, however, this caused some people to lose their balance—some even fell over.

"What's going on? We were about to arrive—why did everything suddenly stop?"

Seeing this situation, someone asked in confusion. After all, the plane had been flying normally just moments ago.

"No need to panic. Looks like a certain someone has arrived."

Calmly observing the situation, Nick Fury seemed to have anticipated this.

Just then, the aircraft door suddenly opened.

Then, a middle-aged man stepped inside—it was clear that he was responsible for stopping the plane.

In an instant, all the soldiers pointed their weapons at him, but he remained completely unfazed, walking straight toward Nick Fury while also casting a curious glance at Tohka standing in front of him.

"Lower your weapons. You're Magneto—this time, you owe us an explanation."

Signaling everyone to lower their weapons, Nick Fury calmly walked up to the man, showing no fear of what he might do.

At the same time, Tohka was also scrutinizing this known top-tier mutant.

She knew that the movies had significantly weakened him, but in the comics, he was absolutely terrifying.

If she remembered correctly, in the comics, this guy could directly manipulate the trace amounts of metal inside the human body, though she couldn't recall the exact details.

What surprised her was that Magneto seemed to be in bad shape—and injured.

"Bringing out such a grand display—is this meant to be a show of force? Your headquarters isn't far from us. If you really intended to attack us, you wouldn't have come on this plane."

Alright, this was something Tohka hadn't considered. But thinking about it, such pressure tactics were quite common in modern society.

What she didn't expect was that even in a combat scenario, this method could be used.

"This really wasn't done by my old friend. Come with us for the details—we may need your help."

Hearing Nick Fury's words, Magneto also looked somewhat helpless.

After all, today's incident truly wasn't their doing. That's why he only stopped the plane but didn't destroy it.

He didn't want to go head-to-head with S.H.I.E.L.D. without proper preparation.

On top of that, Tohka standing in front of Nick Fury gave him a tremendous sense of pressure, even if unspoken.

He knew that if a fight were to break out, he wasn't fully confident he could handle this girl.

Charles had mentioned her to him before as well, which made him all the more cautious.

"Do as he says—land the plane in the open space near the school."

Nick Fury didn't object to Magneto's request.

As for whether or not landing the plane would cause any issues, he wasn't too concerned.

After all, the guy in front of him was powerful enough—ensuring a safe landing wouldn't be a problem.
