Chapter 586

On top of that, some people had tried to use his loved ones to threaten him.

The number of people who had died at Erik's hands was by no means small.

Compared to the Erik in the original work,

the current Erik was not only far more adept at controlling his abilities,

in temperament he was also steadier yet brimming with ferocity.

However, Charles still wasn't intimidated.

But he was equally interested in Shaw, and also in Jiang Hao.

Earlier, when he was in New York, FBI agent Moira MacTaggart had found him and asked him to help investigate a club called Hellfire.

And as it happened, the person in charge of that club was the very one Erik was looking for.

"I can help you. In fact, I know where the man you're looking for, Sebastian Shaw, is." Charles said directly.

Erik was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Then a clear look of delight appeared on his face.

His main purpose for coming to Las Vegas this time was to find Shaw.

But he didn't know Shaw's exact location.

Although he had money, his information channels weren't that easy to set up.

After all, this wasn't the information age of the future.

Finding a person wasn't that simple.

Las Vegas was so vast; finding one person in the sea of humanity wasn't that simple.

"What are your conditions?" Erik said.

Charles agreeing to help him so readily must have had some purpose of his own.

"I have no conditions. I just want to be friends with you, and while I'm at it, meet others like us." Erik understood exactly what Charles meant by "others like us."

"Most importantly, I want to meet the person who saved your mother."

Erik's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this.

At the same time, he had already confirmed that Charles could indeed read other people's memories.

After all, Charles had never told anyone about Jiang Hao.

As for his mother, for some reason she simply didn't remember what had happened that day.

Of course, for his mother, this was a good thing.

And Charles wanted to meet Jiang Hao—didn't he himself also want to meet Jiang Hao?

Back then, he hadn't even had the chance to thank Jiang Hao for saving his mother.

For him, his mother was the most important person in the world.

Jiang Hao saving his mother was tantamount to saving his entire world.

He was willing to give everything he had to repay Jiang Hao.

But after all these years,

he could occasionally pick up some information on Shaw,

yet regarding Jiang Hao, he hadn't received a single scrap.

It was as if Jiang Hao had completely vanished from this world.

Just as Erik's thoughts were flying about, wondering where exactly Jiang Hao had gone,

suddenly, a figure appeared in his line of sight.

Erik was stunned for a moment, then his eyes went wide.

His face was full of disbelief.

Charles also noticed the change in Erik's expression.

Then he tilted his head slightly, looking in the direction of Erik's gaze.

He saw a young Asian man walking toward the two of them.

Seeing this Asian man, Charles didn't react at first.

But the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

This… wasn't this person exactly the one from Erik's memories—the one who had saved his mother and him?

That's right, the one who had come was Jiang Hao, who had traversed the timeline and arrived twenty years in the future.

As for why he had come to the timeline twenty years later,

naturally it was to find someone.

His primary targets were Charles and Raven.

Charles had telepathy and mind control, his abilities somewhat stronger than the White Queen Emma's.

Raven's blood, however, was even more formidable.

The later plot of Days of Future Past happened precisely because Raven's blood was obtained by Bolivar Trask, the founder of Trask Industries.

He manufactured 'Sentinel' robots specifically designed to target mutants.

The Sentinel robots were extremely powerful.

Their power was akin to DC's Doomsday.

No matter what kind of attack, it couldn't kill them.

And they could turn around and copy your abilities.

Moreover, they used them even more powerfully than you.

Under such circumstances, the Sentinel robots kept evolving, becoming ever more powerful.

The X-Men were no match for them.

Even Jean Grey could do nothing against them.

In the end, the X-Men could only devise a way to have Shadowcat Kitty send Logan's consciousness back to the past.

To change the past and prevent Bolivar Trask from obtaining the mutant's blood.

Thus preventing the emergence of Sentinels.

Raven's ability to mimic others manifested poorly in herself.

But on the Sentinels, this ability was enhanced.

They could not only mimic others' appearances, but also their abilities.

And they could mimic them permanently.

The ability was still very powerful.

For Jiang Hao, it was quite useful.

If he used this ability, acquiring superpowers in the future would become much simpler.

Use their own method against them.

He could easily cosplay as Murong Fu.
