A person becomes a god; starting with a super brain, scientific research becomes godlike.

But he still often dreams of Jiang Hao.

I dreamt that I was completely powerless against Jiang Hao.

Because he felt that he was still no match for Jiang Hao.

Over the years, he has also had his genes studied in an attempt to make himself stronger.

Chapter 223; Charles (3rd update, requesting monthly tickets and flowers)

He succeeded by throwing money around without considering the consequences.

One of his subordinates developed a strengthening factor.

This enhancing factor can strengthen the genes of mutants.

Synthesizing this enhancement factor is very complicated and costly.

But Shaw, who controls a third of the casinos in Las Vegas, is not short of money.

With his heavy investment, a considerable number of enhancement factors were synthesized.

Not only did he use mutant genes to enhance his own abilities, but he also improved his own.

Those around him also received promotions.

And Emma Frost, the White Queen whom he trusted most, was naturally promoted as well.

Compared to the two characters in the original X-Men: First Class comics.

Both of them have now significantly improved their mutant level.

They have all been upgraded to Alpha level.

This is almost the highest level that mutants can reach, because Omega-level mutants are all born that way. Even if mutant genes are enhanced by enhancement factors, it is impossible to advance from Alpha to Omega.

But for Shaw, upgrading from Beta to Alpha is already a significant improvement.

Even so, Xiao still lacked complete confidence that he could defeat Jiang Hao.

Even though twenty years have passed, Jiang Hao still leaves a psychological scar on Xiao.

He still can't forget it.

It feels like this just happened yesterday.

His fear of Jiang Hao was deeply ingrained in his heart.

Las Vegas

Shaw is meeting with Emma and Genos Quasty, both of whom are his subordinates and people he trusts.

As for Azazel, he has other tasks to perform at the moment.

"Any news about that guy?"

Emma and Genos both knew who Shaw was talking about.

The two shook their heads.

"We still haven't found him. We've been searching for information about him for many years, but to this day, we haven't found a single piece of information about him."

"Even if it's just a little bit, could it be that Xiao, this person, doesn't even exist?"

To be honest, Emma really didn't believe that the person Shaw was talking about existed.

Even though she had seen Xiao's memories, she sometimes wondered if it was someone Xiao had imagined.

It's not impossible.

“You’ve seen my memories, Emma.”

Shaw allowed Emma to see his memories.

Emma is a mutant with telepathy and mind control. Telepathy allows her to know what others are thinking and to access their memories.

Mind control allows her to control others.

In addition, she can conjure diamonds from her entire body.

After turning into diamond, she will be immune to most physical attacks.

In her diamond form, even a heavy sniper rifle couldn't harm her in the slightest.

The only imperfection is that when she transforms into her diamond form, she cannot activate telepathy or mind control.

“But now I strongly suspect that it’s just your imagination,” Emma said.

Even the most secretive person.

"It's impossible that no information about him was left behind at all."

“We investigated him for so long, but we haven’t been able to find even the slightest bit of information related to him.”

"How could such a person exist in the world, unless he doesn't exist at all?"

Xiao remained silent.

To say that Jiang Hao doesn't exist is utter nonsense.

If Jiang Hao doesn't exist, then everything that happened to him in the concentration camp must be fake.

But how is that possible.

When Jiang Hao left, he took Eric and his mother with him.

Perhaps I can change my approach.

Start with Eric and his group.

However, finding Eric and his mother will not be easy.

After all, twenty years have passed.

Eric had no idea where his mother and son had gone.

He didn't even have a clear direction for the investigation.

It's even possible that Eric and his mother are with Jiang Hao.

Of course, this possibility is not high.

But finding Jiang Hao or Eric and his mother is not easy.

Forget it, I'd rather not think about these things anymore.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Xiao didn't actually want Jiang Hao to appear in front of him.

Even though he is now at least ten times stronger than he was twenty years ago.

And he has a good helper by his side.

But to be honest, he still didn't have much confidence in facing Jiang Hao directly.

His desire to find Jiang Hao was largely driven by his pride.

Las Vegas

A bar.

Charles is drinking with Mystique Raven.

Charles is a top-tier rich kid.

His parents passed away when he was very young.

However, it left him with an extremely large sum of money.

You can tell how wealthy his family is just by the fact that he lives in a huge castle.

Charles is a prime example of a top-tier rich kid.

At the same time, Charles also has a keen eye for investment.

When he was ten years old, he made several investments using the assets left by his parents.

And all of these investments have yielded returns.

Although most of the returns are not substantial.

However, there were also a few investments that yielded very high returns.

Moreover, he has never given up investing over the years.

Few people know that Charles is actually a shareholder in many large listed companies.

The annual dividends alone amount to an enormous sum.
