Chapter 585: Seeing Eric Walk Toward Me; I Can Help You (1st Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Flowers)

Seeing Eric walk toward him,

Charles was not at all panicked.

Charles had already learned of Eric's abilities by viewing Eric's memories.

Very powerful, even one could say extremely powerful.

Judging by the abilities Eric had displayed,

a regiment of regular troops, without heavy firepower support, would meet Eric only to be slaughtered.

Even with heavy firepower, as long as Eric got close to them, he could still slaughter them.

Dealing with ordinary people was even simpler.

Although Eric was currently only a Beta-level mutant,

his abilities had been developed very well by him.

Because his mother had not died, Eric had not, as in the original story, been constantly searching for Shaw.

Instead, he had gone to university, even graduating from a top institution like Cambridge.

As a student of a top institution, Eric's knowledge reserve naturally went without saying.

His development of his own abilities was far more impressive than Eric's in the original story.

Although he was only a Beta-level mutant, the destructive power he could unleash was completely unimaginable to ordinary people.

If someone else had encountered Eric, they truly might not have been Eric's match.

But the person who encountered him was Charles.

And Charles's mind control and telepathy were even more powerful than Emma's.

No matter how powerful Eric was, if Charles directly used mind control to control him, then all danger could be immediately eliminated.

So even seeing Eric walk toward him,

Charles showed not the slightest panic.

Ai Wen also noticed Eric walking toward Charles.

She raised an eyebrow.

She directly stood between Charles and Eric.

"Mr., may I ask what you want?"

Eric looked down at Ai Wen.

He paid her no attention, but instead fixed his gaze once again on Charles.

"You were just looking at me, and it gave me the feeling that my inner self was seen through by you. So, do you know me, or have you seen something?" Eric spoke.

Charles was somewhat surprised. 290

After confirming that Eric was the same kind of person as him,

Charles did not intend to hide the fact that he was also a mutant.

He stood up and walked to Eric's side.

He whispered in his ear: "This world does not have only you who is special, Eric?"

Eric was surprised that Charles knew his name.

But at the same time, he also understood the implication in Charles's words.

"What is your ability?"

Eric was not panicked, but calmly asked a question.

His voice was not loud; in the noisy bar, it was even somewhat difficult for others to hear clearly.

But Charles had clearly heard it.

"I can see through others' thoughts, read others' memories, and, control others."

Eric was stunned for a moment.

He seemed not to have expected Charles to be so simple, directly telling him his abilities.

"You tell me this information; are you not afraid I will kill you?" Eric asked.

"Not afraid. Here, I must say sorry to you; without your consent, I viewed your memories."

Hearing this, Eric's face immediately darkened.

Any person, I suppose, would not want their secrets known by others.

Social death is one thing; another point is that if secrets are known by others, it is easy to be targeted.

If Charles revealed his identity, and that guy Shaw found out.

That guy certainly would not let him go.

His family would also fall into danger.

In that instant, Eric generated intense killing intent toward Charles.

But the killing intent quickly receded.

It was not that Eric was magnanimous.

Rather, he suddenly thought: if Charles could see through others' thoughts and view others' memories,

then could he not ask him to help search for Shaw?

And at that time, together deal with Shaw.

If Charles was willing to agree, he could completely disregard the fact that Charles had viewed his memories.

After all, Charles had already viewed them.

He could not possibly expose his abilities right here and then kill Charles.

Looking again at Charles's calm expression.

He truly did not know whether this fellow genuinely had confidence in his own strength or was completely unaware of how dangerous his current situation was.

And Charles saw right through Eric's shifting thoughts.

When Eric first felt the intent to kill him, Charles was actually somewhat nervous.

He even felt a desire to control Eric.

However, after Eric changed his mind, he chose not to act.

"If you want me to accept your apology, you must do me a favor; otherwise, since you have seen my secret, I will kill you," Eric said coldly.

Opening a large factory in London could not possibly have been a peaceful process.

Wherever one goes, seizing power and property by force or cunning is a very common occurrence.

His factory brings him hundreds of thousands of pounds in profit every month.

In the 1960s, this was truly terrifying.

After all, in London, the monthly salary for most ordinary people was only around twenty pounds.

Even those in high-level professions earned only two or three hundred pounds a month.

Those who could earn thousands of pounds a month were already considered big bosses.

Those who earned tens of thousands of pounds a month were even rarer than phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.

And he earns hundreds of thousands of pounds a month; what a terrifying figure that is.

It would be strange if no one coveted it or tried to seize it.

Of course, Eric's ability to earn so much is largely due to him being a mutant.

Because he can use his abilities to save many production steps.

While honing his abilities, he also saves costs.

Thus, he earns even more money.

Earning so much money every month, it is normal to attract attention.
