Raven was one of the first to join the CIA with Charles and one of the first to meet Eric, so she was much more casual in her attitude.

"How's it going? Is everything alright?"

Raven couldn't help but ask again.

In the morning, Charles and Eric went to find another mutant to join them. According to Charles, that mutant was likely a real warrior.

Raven is really looking forward to it.

The others were also eager to see who this mutant, whom Charles and his group had their eye on, really was.

“Aside from him telling me and Charles to get out, nothing went wrong,” Eric shrugged, sounding slightly helpless.

That guy smoking a cigar was incredibly rude!

“It’s okay, there are far more mutants in the world than just these, aren’t there?” Raven shrugged, not really taking the matter to heart.

“That being said, the truth is, we don’t have that much time.” Eric shook his head.

Then he turned his gaze to Rorschach. "Rorschach, could you come to my office later? Charles and I have something to discuss with you."

Luo Xia was slightly surprised and couldn't understand why Eric and the other person would come to him with something.

According to his memory, the mutants brought to the CIA by Eric and Charles during this period did nothing but chat, joke, and freeload all day.

Even the real training they received from Charles only began after the Black King Shaw's attack, which essentially wiped out all the agents in the base.

Before this, it shouldn't have been their business.

This is why Rorschach chose to follow Charles to this base: here, he could train and develop his abilities without distractions.

"I've finished eating, Eric. Let's go now."

After a moment's thought, Luo Xia put aside his thoughts and stood up.

It wasn't that he was being polite to Eric, but rather that Rorschach really was about to finish.

Eric nodded without saying anything more, and walked out of the restaurant with Rorschach.

"What do you think Eric and the others want with Rorschach?"

"I don't know, but Rorschach is clearly not one of us."

"So what kind of person is he?"

"Guys, can you guys control your abilities as perfectly as Rorschach?"

As Raven and the others watched Rorschach and Eric's departing figures, they couldn't help but start whispering among themselves, speculating about why Eric had come to see Rorschach.

But no matter how much they guessed, they couldn't figure out a single one, two, three, or four.

While everyone was having a heated discussion, Rorschach had already arrived in Charles's office.

"Rorschach, have a seat. Coffee or tea?"

Charles smiled and gestured to Rorschach, giving off a warm and welcoming feeling.

This is a man with the air of British aristocracy, who is also exceptionally handsome. Coupled with the refined elegance of an intellectual, Charles possesses a unique charm.

Eric, standing casually to the side with his arms crossed, gave off a completely different vibe.

He possessed a wild and untamed quality, like a sword hidden in its sheath, concealing its sharpness yet still impossible to ignore.

"Thank you, Professor. I'll be fine now."

Rorschach sat down opposite Charles.

"Are you getting used to things here? Is there anything you're not used to?" Charles asked Rorschach with concern, like a gentle elder.

“Everything is great, it’s a wonderful place,” Rorschach nodded, speaking the truth.

"That's good." Charles nodded with great satisfaction.

"Professor, is there something you need from me?" After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Luo Xia got down to business.

“Rorschach, I’ve noticed you. You’re different from the other kids. You’re much more mature than them. Sometimes I even forget your age and think of you as someone like me and Eric.”

"Of course, it's not just about psychological maturity. You're also the only one among them who can perfectly control your abilities. I don't even know how you do it."

"Eric and I couldn't have reached this level when we were your age."

"Given these facts, I feel it's time for you to know some things."

Charles carefully considered his words before speaking to Rorschach in detail.

“Rorschach, do you know why we’ve brought you here?” Eric interjected at this moment.

"Aren't mutants supposed to stick together for warmth?" Rorschach asked matter-of-factly.

This was the very reason Charles and his companion used to recruit those mutants.

“This is only one of the objectives.” Eric straightened up, his expression turning serious. “Or rather, this is only the first step: verifying identities.”

"After verifying your identities, we also plan to train and test you, and eventually we will eliminate some of the unqualified ones."

"Eric, I don't understand."

Based on his memory of the plot, Rorschach actually knew exactly what Eric was talking about, but he could only ask the question knowing the answer.

“Rorschach, we’re recruiting special agents! Special agents comprised of mutants,” Eric explained to Rorschach again.

“No, Eric, we are not recruiting agents.”

Charles immediately corrected Eric, "We just need some mutants with combat skills at this stage to carry out some special missions and fight some special enemies, and this confrontation is temporary."

"There is no such thing as qualified or unqualified. Even those mutants who were not selected by us can stay."

"So Charles, you called me here this time to test me in advance?" Rorschach raised an eyebrow.

"No, you've already passed the test, or rather, you're like Eric, you don't need to be tested."

Charles smiled and said, "Just as I said, you have perfect control over your abilities, and your strength is considerable."

“Rorschach, Charles has more important things to take care of and really can’t spare the time, so the mutant recruitment work will be handled by you and me from now on. What do you think?”

Eric explained their purpose from the side.

"Since you believe me, I have no objection."

After a moment's thought, Luo Xia agreed.

After all, we've been staying here for so long for free, so it's only right that we do our part when the time is right.

"Thank you for your understanding, Rorschach."

Charles nodded with great satisfaction, then rummaged through his desk and took out a document.

He handed it over: "This is your next target."

Luo Xia took a look at the documents and was slightly surprised.

The portrait on the document looked very familiar to him; he was certain he had seen it before.

Chapter 003 Taking Over Charles's Position

"It turns out to be him!"

After some thought, Rorschach finally remembered who the guy named "Chris Bradley" in the file was.

It turns out the other party was Logan Wolverine's old comrade-in-arms.

He used to work under Stryker alongside Wolverine, Sabretooth, Ghost, Meatball, and others, engaging in some shady dealings.

Later, for some unknown reason, just like Wolverine, he left Stryker and went into seclusion in an amusement park, using his abilities to cheat people and make a living.

The final outcome didn't seem good; it appears he was killed by a saber-toothed tiger.

Was this person I was going to recruit?

However, this person's abilities do not seem to be very strong.

He can control electricity, but based on the movie, it's limited to charging elevators that are out of power and making light bulbs that aren't plugged in light up, nothing more.

They didn't demonstrate any combat capabilities whatsoever.

"Rorschach, is there a problem?"

Eric's voice rang out as he stared at Rorschach and asked.

Although I was a little worried that what I found might be a corpse, I could never bring myself to say such a thing.

Luo Xia immediately shook his head: "No problem."

“Good! Go back and get ready, we’re leaving in half an hour!” Eric nodded to Rorschach and walked out of Charles’s office.

“Charles, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back too.” Rorschach also stood up.

"Rorschach, after all that I've told you, aren't you curious about what kind of enemy we're going to be facing?"

Charles glanced at Rorschach and asked casually.

For Charles, who possesses psychic abilities, few people can keep any secrets from him.

Even without deliberately reading other people's memories, he can still sense their emotions.

But for some reason, Charles discovered that his abilities were completely ineffective against Rorschach.

Charles had no idea what Rorschach was thinking.

"When the time comes, I'll naturally find out, won't I?" Luo Xia smiled, said nothing more, and got up to leave as well.

Charles couldn't help but sigh inwardly; although Rorschach was very young, he was more mature than he had imagined.

It seems that some things can indeed be left to the other party to handle.

Shaw's activities are becoming more and more frequent, but there happens to be a psychic by his side who can completely block Charles's senses.

This means that the brainwave amplification device is completely useless against Shaw, and Charles can only cooperate with the CIA and investigate through conventional methods.

This was a long and complicated task, and with other things to do as well, Charles was really struggling to keep up.

If Rorschach could hear Charles's true feelings, he would surely burst out laughing.

He's not being prudent at all; he just knew all along who Charles was going to deal with.

"Hey, Rorschach!"
