Chapter 34: Unbearable to watch (Please read!)
"My father named me before I was even born."

Eric stood on the roof of the building, his back against the railing at the edge of the building, telling his story.

"He wanted me to be a boy, so he gave me a boy's name, Eric Lanshere."

"It's a pity that he didn't see me being born."

"I went to the movies with my mom and encountered a crazy man with a gun shooting people in the theater."

"He died that night to protect my mother. My mother was stimulated and gave birth to me two months early that night."

She recalled what her mother had told her with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

"I was born with his blood."

"If he were still alive, I would definitely tell him that I don't like this name."

Eric's face was full of disgust, but then he smiled freely.

"So, I gave myself a name that not many people knew, Erica Lanshere."

She stared at Sean and Professor X with her sad gray-blue eyes and asked curiously, "So, what are your real names?"

"Sean."

"Charles."

Erica was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously: "You dare to say your real name when we meet for the first time? Are you stupid!?"

She complained but smiled.

These two didn't lie to her, they were a little silly but cute.

She turned around and looked at the city below her feet. Her voice was as soft as the wind and blew into their ears.

"My mother and I had always lived a difficult life, but I had everything that other children should have. I thought I would grow up happily and then take care of her until she grew old."

"But in an accident, when I was fifteen, I awakened my mutant abilities and became a mutant."

She paused here, recalling the pain she had experienced, and then calmed down her emotions before continuing, "Luckily, my mother is still as kind to me as before, and doesn't treat me like a monster."

"Until I was sixteen and was targeted by predators. She died in their hands while trying to help me escape."

Erica looked calm, but the gold at her feet began to vibrate violently.

Professor X's eyes flickered, and he used his mind power to comfort Erica.

Erica came back to her senses from the pain, looked at Professor X in surprise, and continued: "Unfortunately, I didn't run away. I was caught by the predators and sold to a laboratory. After that..."

As soon as she stopped talking, she turned around and faced the two of them, revealing a rare bright smile.

She had been holding these things in her heart for a long time.

After talking about it today, I feel unexpectedly relieved.

Was it because he saved her? Was it because of their honesty, or was it because of the inexplicable intimacy?

With the metal wrapped around her waist, Erica slowly flew up and said to the two, "That's enough for today. If there's a chance to meet again, I'll tell you more next time."

After she finished speaking, she flew away.

Professor X's eyes flashed, and his gentle voice sounded in Erica's mind.

"If you have any trouble, you can call me."

As he spoke, he used his ability to leave a number in Erica's mind.

Erica paused, then suddenly turned around with a sweet laugh, blew a kiss to Professor X, and left quickly.

Professor X's eyes twitched and he muttered, "It's unbearable to look at!"

Sean looked at the professor who was staring at him, then looked at Erica who had already left, and said speechlessly: "Why did you stare at it for so long when it's so disgusting?"

Professor X was silent for a moment, then he gently patted Sean's shoulder and said faintly, "Sean, you don't want to wear a skirt and go pole dancing in Central Park, do you?"

Sean shuddered, laughed dryly, and said quickly: "I didn't see anything."

Professor X nodded in satisfaction.

"Professor, is she really Eric, the Magneto?"

Sean couldn't help but ask.

Judging from her current strength, it is far inferior to the Magneto in his memory. Professor X shook his head and said, "This is a new world. How can I know?"

"Name, power... maybe he's the Magneto of this world."

Professor X said calmly, raised his hand and touched his face, smiling unconsciously.

Looking at this situation, I’m afraid I’ll have to prepare some money for them.

Sean thought secretly, but his eyes were looking at the small pile of gold on the roof.

That was the thank-you gift Erica left for him.

“This is all mine!”

Sean said solemnly to Professor X.

Professor X looked disdainful.

He just broke the bottom line a little bit and made more than 1 billion. One day he couldn't figure it out and broke through it again, making another 10 billion.

Would he value this?
"Oh, it's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

Professor X said contemptuously, and said to Sean: "Pack them up quickly, we have to go back."

Sean chuckled and disappeared in a flash.

Soon, Sean reappeared with a bag and happily put all the gold into it.

"Huh? Why do I feel like a gold bracelet is missing?"

Sean muttered, looking at Professor X suspiciously, and said, "Professor, have you seen it? The snake-shaped one."

Professor X said expressionlessly, “I didn’t see it, clean it up quickly!
Sean shrugged and asked in confusion, "Did I remember it wrong?"

He lowered his head and began to pack, only to find that Professor X was holding his pocket tightly.

Haha, this old guy can’t even be a thief.

Sean chuckled secretly, but did not point it out to Professor X. After packing up his things, he pressed Professor X's shoulder and used teleportation to leave quickly.

It only took a short time for Sean to return to Westchester with Professor X.

X School had not yet been built, so they rented a separate courtyard in a small town not far from the future school and settled down temporarily.

It was already late at night, so the two of them teleported directly into the room.

Sean happily rushed back to his room carrying tonight's harvest.

Professor X looked at Sean with amusement and tapped his temple with his finger.

"It's us, you guys continue to rest."

Logan and Victor, who were about to get up, heard the gentle voice in their heads, turned over and fell asleep again.

Sean returned to the room and put the gold away. He felt the soul power he had gained and smiled.

He increased his soul power by more than half, so that his soul power finally reached fifteen.

Looking at the extra soul power, Sean loaded a new ability.

Mental Hypnosis: Temporary mind control and hypnosis of others through touch.

This ability comes from Wolverine's former lover Silver Fox, and it only requires a portion of soul power to be loaded, which means that the strength of this ability is limited.

But a soul power cannot greatly improve Sean's other abilities. On the contrary, the newly loaded abilities will be very useful at certain times.

One day, he will load up the professor's abilities.

Sean muttered, but remembered Professor X's performance tonight.

Professor X has changed. Although he is still gentle, he has become more cruel.

But facing Erica...

Thinking of Professor X's expression, Sean chuckled, rested his hands on his head, looked at the ceiling, and murmured, "Let's set off tomorrow. We can't delay any longer!"

If Tony Stark had created the Iron Man suit, he wouldn't have gotten Stark's bounty.
