Chapter 950: Searching for the X-Mansion (Third Update!!!)

Yes.

One does not worry about scarcity, but about inequality.

This is the fundamental reason why mutants are in such a difficult situation.

The talk about how mutants’ powers go out of control when they awaken, making them prone to causing large-scale damage, is merely a superficial excuse.

It is just like how Fahai treated Bai Suzhen.

All that talk about how humans and spirits cannot fall in love is nonsense; Xu Zheng Xian saw the root cause.

Fahai was simply envious and jealous of them, and therefore wanted to tear them apart.

The mutants here are the same.

Why should you be able to mutate and possess such powerful abilities, while we did not?

Since we don’t have them, you shouldn’t have them either.

This is also why Hawk never thought about cultivating his own Bronze Saints and Silver Saints to work for him.

One does not worry about scarcity, but about inequality!

If he alone is as powerful as a god, or even transcends a god, everyone will only revere him, flatter him, and fear him.

But once others know that he can cultivate them in batches, or even that his abilities can be attained through cultivation...

Heh.

Hawk dares to bet that no matter which world he is in, even if he slaughtered the entire Earth, humans would still find a way to obtain the Small Universe cultivation method from him.

Nothing else.

It is human nature.

Just as Hawk was communicating with Hearing Wanda, the mutant who had lost about half his hair finally finished restoring all of the Beatles-lookalike's injuries.

The Beatles-lookalike then stood up from the ground with the support of his three companions.

Hawk regained his focus and looked at the Beatles-lookalike.

"Do you know Magneto?"

"...I know him."

"Tell me about him!"

To determine where the timeline is in terms of mutants, or rather, which version it is, determining Magneto’s timeline would determine the timeline of the world.

The Beatles-lookalike looked at the calm-faced Hawk and frowned.

"We have only heard of Magneto, but we have never seen him."

"Ever since Magneto last appeared at the Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington ten years ago, no one has seen him again."

Confirmed.

This is the *X-Men: Days of Future Past* timeline.

Right.

What was the plot of the next installment after *X-Men: Days of Future Past* again?

Hawk’s thoughts turned.

He actually didn't know much about the X-Men comics or movies, at least not in any depth; he had only taken a rough look at them.

Reality doesn't need logic, but movies do.

So...

Hawk also found it very hard to understand why mutants, despite having such powerful strength, were at the bottom of the Earth's food chain.

Even if they didn't establish a mutant empire, shouldn't they at least have established a mutant kingdom?

Hawk really didn't understand.

But he didn't want to understand either; after confirming that this was the *X-Men: Days of Future Past* timeline, he already had a rough guess as to where his daughter, Jean, currently was.

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

X-Mansion.

Wait.

Where was this school again?

Hawk’s heart stirred, and he looked at the Beatles-lookalike: "Do you know the address of the X-Mansion?"

The Beatles-lookalike looked stunned.

"X-Mansion?"

"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, the school of Professor X."

"Uh..."

The Beatles-lookalike looked dazed, exchanged glances with his robber companions, then looked at Hawk and shook his head: "We have heard of this school; legend has it that it is a sanctuary for mutants, but we don't know where it is, and we aren't even sure if this school actually exists."

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

"Legend?"

"Yes."

The Beatles-lookalike nodded: "We learned about this school in an underground mutant community from another mutant who had come to Niuyuecheng from out of town. He said he was seeking asylum; perhaps you can go to that underground community and ask."

As he spoke, the Beatles-lookalike gave an address located in Queens.

Hawk glanced at the Beatles-lookalike, who didn't seem to be lying, nodded, and then stopped speaking. Under the gaze of the Beatles-lookalike and his accomplices, he walked to the table where they had been splitting the loot and looked at the green Franklins on the table.

The next second.

One stack, two stacks, three, four stacks...

The Beatles-lookalike and his companions watched as Hawk grabbed the cash on the table like he was playing a claw machine, not daring to move a muscle.

But Hawk didn't take too much.

Hawk only took ten stacks—one hundred thousand dollars—and after putting them into the backpack at his side, he tossed the dye pack he had just removed from the bills to the side and looked at the Beatles-lookalike: "Be careful when you split it; this thing doesn't wash off once it explodes."

Having said that.

Hawk slung the backpack over his shoulder, turned around directly, said a word to Hearing Wanda, and then the two of them left the place, leaving the Beatles-lookalike and his companions standing there, looking at each other.

"I thought you were going to take all the money."

"I thought about it."

After leaving the warehouse, Hawk and Hearing Wanda got into a taxi, and while heading toward the address the Beatles-lookalike had just given, they communicated with their thoughts in their minds.

Of course.

It was mainly in Hawk’s mind, since he had lost all his extraordinary abilities and was left with only this Celestial body that he had sublimated to the extreme.

Hawk answered Hearing Wanda’s curiosity in his mind: "But it wasn't necessary; one hundred thousand dollars is enough for our expenses."

Anyway, they had no intention of settling down here.

Hawk hadn't thought about it.

Hearing Wanda hadn't thought about it either.

After all, they came here to find their daughter, and once they found her, they would return immediately.

Although Hawk’s six senses told him that this time might not go so smoothly.

But...

As everyone knows.

Besides believing that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" and "a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years," he also believes that "the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge"!

Leave future problems for the future Hawk to worry about.

He only focuses on the present.

Hearing Wanda then asked about Magneto and Professor X, whom Hawk had just mentioned.

Hawk suddenly remembered something.

By the way...

If this is the timeline after *X-Men: Days of Future Past*, it seems, perhaps, that Quicksilver is here too.

But unlike the Quicksilver from their universe, the Quicksilver here has silver hair, goggles, and a street-style outfit.

Compared to the Quicksilver from their own universe who looked like he had been washed by the years, the Quicksilver here still retained the clarity of someone who had just left school and hadn't been beaten down by society, along with a bit of innocence.

And just as the image of the *X-Men* version of Quicksilver appeared in Hawk’s mind, Hearing Wanda, whose consciousness was also in Hawk’s mind, saw this different Quicksilver as well.

"Who is this?"

"...Quicksilver."

"Who?!"

Hearing Wanda was stunned at first, then reacted: "Pietro? Is this Pietro?"

Hawk hummed, then frowned, remembering that the Pietro here seemed to have a sister as well.

In the movie, there was a scene where Quicksilver was watching TV with a little girl.

But...

Hearing Wanda is Pietro’s sister, so when Hawk was learning about mutants, the internet was constantly debating who that little girl was.

In the end, the movie’s producer came out and gave an explanation: that wasn't Hearing Wanda, but Quicksilver’s younger sister; however, Quicksilver did indeed have an older sister, because a line of dialogue was deleted from the movie.

At that time, Quicksilver’s mother said to the little girl, "Go bother your sister," and the little girl replied, "My sister is bothering me."

So—

Everyone unanimously believed that this little girl was Polaris.

But Polaris is a half-sister, which is from the comics, and then everyone started arguing again, and the timeline didn't match up either, so everyone started arguing again.

After seeing this, Hawk didn't look any further.

However, this time, he should be able to know.

Hawk thought to himself.

Hearing Wanda, having recovered from the shock that this Quicksilver was indeed Pietro, offered her commentary: "Why does this Quicksilver not look like my older brother, but rather like a younger one?"

Hawk smiled slightly: "Because here, your setting is that you are his older sister."

Hearing Wanda being Quicksilver's older sister is the setting in the comics.

But only in the cinematic universe where the Avengers exist was it changed so that Quicksilver is Hearing Wanda's older brother, rather than Hearing Wanda's younger brother.

Hearing Wanda's eyes lit up: "I am here too, and I am Pietro's older sister?"
