Chapter 272 They Are Demons!
In a bar decorated in the style of the old times, the mahogany woodcarving decorations are dazzling, giving it a unique sense of time.
The spacious bar is filled with a variety of drinks, dazzling, and the slightly dim lights create a mysterious and romantic atmosphere.
"Handsome guy, are you interested in a drink?"
Under the big golden waves is a charming face, and the flaming red lips exude a kind of irresistible charm.
"Sorry, I have a wife!"
The man sat in the corner of the bar, looking at the woman in front of him with an indifferent look.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the great Magneto would fall into such a situation now."
In the face of the man's refusal, the woman smiled lightly and sat beside the man.
The man turned out to be Eric, who had disappeared for a long time.
"Raven Darkholm?"
Eric frowned, dressed in work clothes, and looked plain. The drunkenness in his eyes instantly dissipated. He stared at the woman in front of him, and guessed her true face at once.
"This is not your style, Raven!"
Looking at the completely unfamiliar face, Eric frowned and said in a deep voice.
Noticing that the man in front of him seemed a little impatient, the woman smiled, and then her face changed. A white woman with a golden ponytail and a pretty face appeared in front of him.
"Eric, we need you..."
Raven, who changed his appearance, was no longer charming, but said anxiously.
"I have a wife to take care of..."
Magneto's face was full of determination.
"Besides, haven't we failed? Sebastian is too dangerous. I have to consider my family!"
"...But can you watch Sebastian destroy the world?"
Raven's tone was a little unwilling.
"Destroy the world? Just him? Hahaha, you don't understand at all. Someone has noticed that guy. Soon, we don't need to do anything. Someone will punish him!" Eric laughed, and there was a crystal luster in the corners of his eyes, which seemed to be tears, with a bitter meaning. "Are you talking about Evernight?" Raven said solemnly. "Yes, it's Evernight. I believe you have also learned about them. With their strength, there is absolutely no problem dealing with Sebastian. I even think that it's better for you to join them directly. This can also solve the current dispute with the government and get some protection." Eric looked at the bar full of rioting dancers, and his eyes were filled with some memories. "We don't believe in Eternal Night!"
Raven's face was a little gloomy, and there was some lingering fear in her eyes: "You know, Eric, Eternal Night's group of guys are not human at all. They feed on human and even mutant blood. They can get power from mutant blood. Each of their elders is stained with the blood of hundreds of lives! They... are demons!"
"Hehe, I helped you last time, helping you take back the White Queen from Eternal Night! But you turned around and let her escape again."
Eric did not take up the above topic, but said angrily.
"That matter was indeed not thoughtful enough. We didn't expect Sebastian to have an instant transfer ability...
This time they will come back again, Eric, we are not exaggerating, Charles found an opportunity to eavesdrop on Sebastian's secrets.
They plan to control nuclear weapons and completely dominate the world. We can't rely on those non-humans!"
Raven spoke very quickly, her eyes staring at Eric, trying to make the man in front of her recognize the current situation.
"..."
Putting down the wine glass, Eric ignored the disappointed Raven and walked slowly out of the bar.
In the silent night, the bright moon illuminated the road ahead. Eric was hesitant. On one side was his family, and on the other side was his enemy. He didn't know how to face the current situation.
Unconsciously, he finally returned home, with a smile on his face, looking at the woman who was hugging him.
"Meredith!"
"You're back, Eric!"
The two hugged each other tightly, but Eric's body suddenly stiffened, and he slowly pushed the woman away.
"Meredith, you go in first..."
He stared at the woman, and his voice was mixed with a trace of uncontrollable anger.
Meredith obviously realized something, looked at Eric with a worried look, and then rushed into the room.
A steel bar the size of a chopstick hidden on his body slipped down from his sleeves. Eric turned around suddenly and stared at the figure hidden in the dark.
"Come out!"
Click, click...
Wearing a suit and a hat, with an inexplicable expression on his face, Charles walked out of the dark alley under Eric's surprised gaze.
Next to him stood Raven, who had just parted ways.
"I said, I don't plan to care about Sebastian anymore!"
Eric put the steel bar back into his sleeves and said firmly.
"Eric, what made you become like this?"
Charles frowned tightly. As Eric's good friend, he didn't believe that Eric would be affected by the last failure.
"..."
Eric was silent, but the originally closed door behind him slowly opened.
"Dad...who are they?"
The crisp and elegant voice instantly changed Charles' expression. As for Raven on the side, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and looked at the two little people walking out of the room with some disbelief.
As for Eric's wife Meredith, she looked at them angrily.
"You have a kid? Eric!"
Charles softened his facial expression and looked at the boy and girl behind Eric with a loving gaze.
"Meredith came to me with two children... So you understand, right? Charles, I can't do anything about it anymore. I have people to protect, and I can't lose my children anymore... "
Slowly closing his eyes to calm the shock in his heart, Eric spoke to his friend in a pleading tone.
"... Eric, maybe we both need to talk in private."
Walking forward, Charles rubbed the heads of the two children with a smile. He did not investigate these two children who might have special abilities, but simply acted as an elder.
Seeing Charles' actions, Eric motioned to his wife to bring the child into the room, and then followed Charles to the side.
"Eric, I came to you out of necessity. You have been targeted by Sebastian..."
A bombshell was dropped directly, and Charles' words made Eric's expression change drastically.
"Don't be impatient yet!"
After stopping Eric's urge to run away with his wife and daughter, Charles looked serious.
"Why? Why doesn't that guy let me go?"
Eric roared angrily. He had obviously made concessions and even hid himself, but bad things still happened.
"I was also surprised at first, why did that guy notice you? But now I understand..."
Charles looked at Eric's home, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"He wants my child?"
The pupils shrank violently, and the anger in Eric's heart could no longer be suppressed. The memories of his childhood came to his mind. Sebastian seemed to have some kind of obsession with mutants, and as the existence that he valued most, His children are bound to attract that guy's attention.
"You still have a chance now, Eric!"
Noticing the urgency in his friend's heart, Charles quickly comforted and persuaded him.
"From the information I found, that guy doesn't seem to know what your child is like. He only learned about it from the White Queen. What you need to do now is to keep your child away from you!"
"..."
Gripping his hair hard, Eric walked back and forth. Finally, with reluctance in his eyes, he walked into the house under the watchful eyes of Charles and Raven.
After a long time, Meredith took her luggage and disappeared into the night with her two children.
"You can just let them leave so easily?"
Charles was a little surprised.
"Well, I asked her to leave by herself. I don't know where she is going. You know the reason... Now I need you to do one more thing for me!"
Eric looked at the direction where his wife and children were leaving, with a certain determination in his eyes.
"What's up?"
"Help me bring a message to Yong Ye... Let them take care of my wife and children!"
"Yongye? You really have something to do with them."
Charles' eyes flashed with suddenness.
His memory went back to the operation to capture the White Queen. That time Yong Ye captured the White Queen before them and happened to be encountered by them. It was Eric who stood up and stopped the fight between them and Yong Ye. There was a conflict, and one person fought with members of the Evernight Squad. Both sides seemed to leave room for leeway, and in the end, they handed the White Queen over to Eric.
From that time, Charles had some speculations in his mind, and now, Eric's behavior of handing over his wife and daughter to Yong Ye has proved this even more.
"God, are you from Yongye?"
Raven on the side couldn't help but exclaimed, her expression mixed with uncontrollable surprise.
This is a normal phenomenon. After learning from Charles that Yongye was sucking the blood of mutants, the image of the other party has always been similar to a terrifying monster in Raven's eyes.
As their friend, Eric is actually inextricably related to the monster of Eternal Night. The impact of this directly shattered Raven's long-standing view of Eric.
"Well, I have an elder brother...he is the head of Yongye Company."
Eric's face showed a look of recollection.
"The Grand Duke of Evernight!"
At this moment, even Charles couldn't help but look shocked.
