Chapter 1092: Father and Son (Twenty-One)_1

"Scott! What were you thinking?!"

The voice of Polaris resonated from around the corner of the corridor. Soon, the hurried figure with green hair appeared in the hall, constantly looking back while loudly saying:

"You let Schiller and Magneto stay together?? You are crazy, he is going to mess up everything!"

Scott, swiftly following her, said somewhat helplessly: "I just helped Doctor Schiller with his luggage, and he left his room to go to Magneto. He moved too fast, I couldn't stop him!"

"You should have been keeping an eye on him 24/7 from the moment he got off the spaceship! Can't you see? The message on the sun was Erik's warning to Schiller!"

While walking forward, Polaris tugged at her hair and said with an edge of anger: "Are you hoping that Magneto is a person who can consider the greater good?"

Lorna seemed both sad and angry. She covered half her face with her hand and said: "Despite knowing how important Schiller's plan is to mutants, he still provokes him selfishly. 'There is no patient here'? Hell! The biggest patient here is him! Magneto!"

Scott also sighed, saying: "It's alright, Doctor Schiller would have come prepared, he won't get hurt..."

"Oh my god! Are you only hoping that he won't get hurt? If they start fighting, do you think Schiller won't get angry? The whole Andromeda Galaxy is part of his plan and is in our hands. Aside from Professor X, who could tolerate such ingratitude? Our reputation will be ruined!"

As Polaris hurried forward through the intricate corridor, she adjusted her hair and said: "Before Christmas, we had an argument, even got physical, and damaged the Christmas tree at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Wanda and Pietro were so upset they ran away from home..."

"After that, Professor Charles found me..." Polaris sighed, slowly closed her eyes, reminisced about that day's events, and said: "He asked me a question that I found unanswerable..."

"What question?"

"He asked me whether we felt that he held too high hopes for Magneto?" Polaris smirked mockingly, and said: "He shouldn't have asked me this question, he should have asked you all, asked the X-Men, all of you feel this way..."

"Each and every one of you think that Professor X always has unrealistic expectations for Magneto, and Magneto will forever disappoint him. What baffles you is why Magneto has messed up so many things, yet Professor X still holds hope for him time and again?"

"So, how did you respond?" Scott asked curiously.

"I said, probably because, you guys are friends," Polaris shook her head and said. "But in fact, this is not what I really feel, but I can't tell him, probably because Professor, you are too patient. Any ordinary person would have gotten enraged by him long ago!"

Scott felt that he couldn't comment on this. After all, Polaris was Magneto's daughter, and if she were to badmouth her father, it could just be teenage rebellion. But if he were to join in, the nature of the issue would be different.

"True, I know, I have a bad temper too..." Polaris walked ahead, her arms folded, saying: "I shouldn't have argued with him, let alone fight. But wouldn't anyone with a better temper not tolerate him? How many Professor X's are there in this world?"

Polaris took a deep breath, sniffled, and said: "Some people say, I am like him, but at least I get along well with Quicksilver and Iceman, and Shadow Cat and Rakshasa Woman can be considered friends. But what about him? He has lived so many years. Does he only have one friend, Professor X?"

"Sometimes, I really get scared. If I grow old like him, with only one friend left if I were to count them on my hands, and with a bad relationship with my children, how can I save my own life?"

"Don't overthink it, Lorna," Scott stepped forward and patted Polaris's shoulder, saying: "We make our own lives, we will all have better futures..."

Although Scott was saying this, by the end, he too sighed. If Magneto and Schiller truly started fighting, then that beautiful future might have to be pushed back indefinitely.

Polaris evidently thought of this as well. She quickened her pace, and while walking, she turned back to Scott and said: "We need to get there faster, perhaps we can stop them before they resort to violence..."

"In case they do start fighting, I will deal with Erik. You take Doctor Schiller away." Polaris rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Thankfully, Doctor Schiller's temper should be good, he won't stoop to his level. Separate them as soon as possible and avoid a major disaster..."

Thinking about the situation he would face next, Scott felt a headache. He knew that Schiller's temper was definitely better than Magneto's, but he didn't know Schiller that well. If Schiller did lose his cool, he didn't know if he could actually stop him.
