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

Most importantly, Charles was staring straight at him at that moment.

He could sense the surprise in Charles's eyes.

As the owner of a large factory, Eric has encountered all sorts of people.

With just one glance, he could tell that Charles was no ordinary man.

He frowned slightly.

He picked up the drink the bartender offered him and walked towards Charles.

Seeing Eric walking towards him

Charles, however, remained calm.

Charles had already learned about Eric's abilities by examining Eric's memories.

Very impressive, even extremely impressive.

Based on the abilities Eric has demonstrated.

A regiment of regular soldiers, without heavy firepower support, would be slaughtered if they encountered Eric.

Even with heavy firepower, Eric could still slaughter them if he got close enough.

Dealing with ordinary people is even simpler.

Eric is currently only a Beta-level mutant.

But he developed his abilities quite well.

Because his mother was not dead, Eric did not continue searching for Shaw as he did in the original story.

Instead, they went to university, or even graduated from top universities like Cambridge.

As a student at a top university, Eric's knowledge base is naturally exceptional.

His development of his abilities is far more advanced than Eric's in the original story.

Although he was only a Beta-level mutant, the destructive power he could unleash was completely unimaginable to ordinary people.

If it were someone else facing Eric, they might not necessarily be a match for him.

But the person he encountered was Charles.

Charles's mind control and telepathy are far more powerful than Emma's.

No matter how powerful Eric is, if he can be controlled directly with mind control, then all dangers can be eliminated immediately.

So even when he saw Eric walking towards him.

Charles showed no sign of panic.

Evans also noticed Eric walking toward Charles.

She raised an eyebrow.

He stood directly between Charles and Eric.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Eric glanced down at Evan.

Ignoring her, he turned his gaze back to Charles.

“You were looking at me just now, and it gave me the feeling that you could see right through me. So, do you know me, or did you see something?” Eric asked.

Charles was somewhat surprised. 290

After confirming that Eric was the same kind of person as him

Charles had no intention of hiding the fact that he was also a mutant.

He got up and walked over to Eric.

He whispered in his ear, "You're not the only one in this world who's special, Eric?"

Eric was surprised that Charles knew his name.

But he also understood the implication in Charles's words.

"What are your abilities?"

Eric didn't panic; instead, he calmly asked a question.

He spoke softly, almost inaudibly in the noisy bar.

But Charles clearly heard it.

"I can see through other people's thoughts, read their memories, and control them."

Eric paused for a moment.

It seems they didn't expect Charles to be so naive, and he directly told him about his abilities.

“You’re telling me all this information, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” Eric asked.

"Don't worry, I have to apologize to you here for looking into your memories without your permission."

Eric's face darkened immediately upon hearing this.

No one would want their secrets to be known by others.

One issue is social death, and another is that if secrets are known, it makes one vulnerable to being targeted.

If Charles reveals his identity, and that guy Shaw finds out...

That guy definitely won't let him go.

His family will also be in danger.

In that instant, Eric felt a strong urge to kill Charles.

But the murderous intent quickly subsided.

It's not that Eric is generous.

Instead, it suddenly occurred to him that if Charles could read other people's thoughts and access their memories...

So, could I ask him to help me find Xiao?

And then we'll deal with (AFBI) Xiao together.

If Charles were willing to agree, he could completely disregard the fact that the other party had accessed his memories.

After all, Charles had already seen it.

He can't just reveal his abilities here and then kill Charles, can he?

Look at Charles's calm expression.

He really didn't know if this guy was genuinely confident in his abilities or completely unaware of the danger he was in.

Charles, of course, saw right through Eric's change of heart.

Charles was actually quite nervous when Eric developed murderous intent towards him.

He even started to want to control Eric.

However, after Eric changed his mind, he did not choose to take action.

“If you want me to accept your apology, you have to do me a favor, otherwise I’ll kill you after you’ve seen my secret,” Eric said coldly.

Opening a large factory in London was certainly not a smooth process.

No matter where you are, extortion and plunder are very common occurrences.

His factory brings him hundreds of thousands of pounds in profit every month.

This was quite terrifying in the 60s.

After all, in London, most ordinary people only earn around £20 a month.

Even those in high-level professions only earn two or three hundred pounds a month.

Earning several thousand pounds a month already qualifies you as a big boss.

Earning tens of thousands of pounds a month is an extremely rare occurrence.

He earns hundreds of thousands of pounds a month, which is an incredibly staggering sum.

It would be strange if someone wanted to take it if they weren't being watched.

Of course, Eric's ability to earn so much money has a lot to do with the fact that he is a mutant.

Because he can use his abilities to save a lot of steps.

It saves costs while improving skills.

Wouldn't that mean you'd make even more money?

It's normal to attract attention when you earn so much money every month.
