Hearing this sound, Zane subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had come to the right place. Although Magneto's wife and child were likely already deceased at this point, as long as the time of death hadn't exceeded 24 hours, Zane could bring them back from the underworld. The upgraded skill, [Death River], possessed this incredible ability.
So, Zane's busy tasks for half a day weren't considered a failure, especially considering the system task was still in progress.
With this in mind, Zane signalled for the few people following him to stop, and they waited in place for 10 minutes.
It's worth noting that at this moment, Magneto had just lost his daughter and wife, teetering on the edge of collapse and going berserk. Approaching him now would undoubtedly be seen as complicity and result in elimination. It's not that Zane underestimated his private bodyguards; it's just that in the face of the wrath of an enraged Magneto, they would not last even about 3 seconds.
By the way, these bodyguards were hired by Zane when he first arrived in Poland. After all, he didn't understand the Polish language, so spending a little money to hire a few people was quite convenient.
After 10 minutes, Zane spoke:
"Stay here. Regardless of what you hear next, do not enter."
"But, sir, your safety..."
"That's my decision."
Zane didn't wait for the bodyguards to object; he decisively entered the forest. The remaining bodyguards looked at each other in confusion.
Crossing through the dense jungle, Zane saw Magneto kneeling on the ground, holding his wife and daughter. On the ground behind him lay more than ten people in police uniforms, judging by the dark red bloodstains underneath them, they had been dealt with by Magneto like small chickens.
Seeing this scene, Zane stood silently in place, deliberately coughed twice.
*Cough, cough.*
Hearing the sound, Magneto suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with despair and madness.
In an instant, an iron necklace flew from Magneto's hand towards Zane's head.
"I can bring them back."
As Zane spoke, the necklace suddenly stopped, less than 5 centimetres from Zane's temple.
"Who are you?" Magneto gritted his teeth.
"Hello, Mr. Magneto, I'm Zane. I can revive your wife and daughter."
Zane calmly repeated his words. Throughout, Zane's face showed no trace of emotion, maintaining a smile even after narrowly escaping death just a moment ago.
"What?"
"Zane sensed his scepticism and hesitation and shouted loudly:
"Magneto, think about what benefit I have in deceiving you? You must make a decision quickly; a little more delay, and they won't be revivable."
"Okay, I trust you."
Hearing Zane's explanation, Magneto finally calmed down slightly. In fact, Zane had no reason to deceive him.
"All right, Mr. Magneto, have the people who came with me faint, but please do not harm them."
Zane pointed towards the faint figures that could be vaguely seen through the gaps in the trees. They were the bodyguards who were still outside the forest, unaware that Zane had already betrayed them in the course of the conversation.
This was a desperate move. If he suddenly revived two clearly deceased individuals, who knew what the consequences would be if the information leaked? The worst-case scenario would be getting caught by unscrupulous higher-ups and being dissected for research or kept captive for their exclusive use in reviving people.
Even with his multi-billion-dollar fortune, it would be useless when faced with the madness that could ensue due to the ability to resurrect people.
Zane couldn't allow any unexpected events. In case the bodyguards barged in during the resurrection of Magneto's wife and daughter or witnessed something, what would he do? Instead of killing them to silence them later, he decided to incapacitate them now. At least then, he could compensate them generously afterward.
Without saying a word, Magneto activated his abilities. The firearms held by the bodyguards waiting not far away were suspended in the air, no longer under their control.
Following their momentum, a heavy blow struck, and the dull impact sound could be heard even from a distance, making Zane's teeth ache. He silently thought it must be painful, and mentally raised the compensation he intended to give to those bodyguards.
"Alright, kid, you should fulfill your promise now."
"No problem."
Zane breathed a sigh of relief and confidently said.
Then an awkward scene unfolded. The bodies of Magneto's wife and daughter were pierced by an arrow, as if the arrowhead got stuck in some bone. Zane was only 16 years old and didn't have much strength. He struggled for a while, his face turning red, but aside from enlarging the wounds on the two bodies, he couldn't pull the arrow out.
Beside him, Magneto's veins bulged on his neck, looking like he was about to eat Zane alive.
Finally, unable to stand Zane's futile attempts any longer, Magneto stepped forward, decisively pulled out the arrow, and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Kid, you better resurrect them; otherwise, I won't let you off.""
Zane awkwardly smiled, not saying much, and straightforwardly activated the "Death River."
However, during the resurrection, Zane was stunned. When he was about to allocate the resurrection count, the [Death River] provided him with feedback. The number of deceased individuals in front of him was not two but four.
After being in a daze for quite some time, Zane's brain finally turned the corner.
It turned out that this woman was already pregnant before her death, and it was even twins. According to this setting, wasn't this Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch?
(PS: Straightening out the timeline, or there might be several Quicksilvers)
Thinking of this, Zane turned to look at Magneto, solemnly saying:
"Mr. Magneto, do you know that your wife was already pregnant, and it was twins, before her death? Are these unfortunate little lives included among those to be resurrected?"
When Magneto heard that his wife was pregnant, tears uncontrollably flowed down his face. After being in a daze for a while, he trembled and replied:
"Yes, of course."
However, after a considerable time passed, Zane still didn't make a move. He just stood there, smiling at Magneto, looking irritatingly smug.
