Chapter 272 They are demons!
In a bar decorated in the style of the old times, the mahogany wood carvings are dazzling, giving the place a unique sense of time.

The spacious bar is filled with a dazzling array of drinks, and the slightly dim lighting creates a mysterious and romantic atmosphere.

"Handsome, would you like to have a drink?"

Under the big golden waves is a charming face, and the flaming red lips exude a kind of charm that makes people unable to stop.

"Sorry, I have a wife!"

The man sat in the corner of the bar, watching the woman in front of him posing with an indifferent look.

"Heh, I didn't expect that the mighty Magneto would fall into such a situation."

Faced with the man's rejection, the woman smiled lightly and sat next to the man.

The man turned out to be Eric who had disappeared for a long time.

"Raven Darkholm?"

Eric, who was dressed in work clothes and had a simple face, frowned and the drunkenness in his eyes instantly disappeared. He stared at the woman in front of him who was posing coquettishly and guessed her true identity at once.

"That's 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 her seemed a little impatient, the woman smiled, and then her appearance changed. A white woman with a golden ponytail and a pretty face appeared in front of him.

"Eric, we need you..."

Raven's face no longer had the charm it had before, and she spoke anxiously.

"I have a wife to look after..."

Magneto's face was full of determination.

"Besides, haven't we already failed? Sebastian is too dangerous. I have to think about my family!"

"…But can you just watch Sebastian destroy the world?"

Raven's tone was somewhat unwilling.

"Destroy the world? Just him? Hahaha, you don't understand at all. Someone has already noticed that guy. Soon, someone will punish him without us having to do anything!"

Eric laughed loudly, and there was a kind of crystal luster in the corners of his eyes, which seemed to be tears, with a certain bitter meaning.

"Are you talking about the eternal night?"

Raven said with a serious expression.

"Yes, it's Yongye. I believe you have learned about them. With their strength, they will definitely have no problem dealing with Sebastian. I even think it would be better for you to join them directly. This way, you can also resolve the current dispute with the government and get some protection."

Eric looked at the bar full of riotous dancers, with a certain reminiscence in his eyes.

"We don't believe in eternal night!"

Raven's face was a little gloomy, and there was some lingering fear in his eyes: "You know, Eric, those guys in Yongye are not human at all. They feed on the blood of humans and even mutants. They can gain power from the blood of mutants. Each of their elders is stained with the blood of hundreds of lives! They... are demons!"

"Hehe, I helped you last time. I helped you take back the White Queen from Yongye's hands! But you turned around and let her escape again."

Eric did not take up the above topic, but spoke a little angrily.

"We were definitely not thorough enough in that matter. We didn't expect Sebastian to actually have a person with the ability to teleport...

They're going to come back again this time, Eric, we're 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 fixed on Eric, trying to make the man in front of her realize the current situation.

"..."

Putting down his glass, Eric ignored Raven's disappointed look and slowly walked 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 were his enemies. He didn't know how to face the current situation.

Before he knew it, he finally returned home. He put on a smile on his face and looked at the woman who was coming towards him to hug 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..."

His eyes were fixed on the woman, and his voice was tinged with a hint of uncontrollable anger.

Meredith apparently realized something as well. She looked at Eric with some worry in her eyes and then rushed into the room.

A chopstick-sized steel bar hidden in his body slipped out from his sleeve. Eric turned around suddenly and stared at the figure hiding in the darkness.

"come out!"

clap clap clap...

Wearing a suit and a hat, with an indescribable look on his face, Charles walked out of the dark alley under Eric's surprised gaze.

Standing next to him was Raven, with whom he had just parted.

"I told you I'm not going to care about Sebastian anymore!"

Eric put the steel bar back into his sleeve and said firmly, "Eric, what made you become like this?"

Charles frowned. As Eric's good friend, he didn't believe that Eric would be affected by his last failure.

"..."

Eric remained silent, but the door behind him, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.

"Dad... who are they?"

The clear and elegant voice instantly changed Charles's expression. As for Raven on the side, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, looking at the two little people walking out of the room in 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, Charles, I can't do it anymore. I can't go back to the way I was before. I have people I need to protect, and I can't lose my current child..."

Slowly closing his eyes to calm the tremors in his heart, Eric spoke to his friend in a pleading tone.

"…Eric, maybe the two of us need to talk in private."

Walking forward, Charles rubbed the two children's heads with a smile. He did not investigate these two children who might have special abilities. He was just acting as an elder.

Seeing Charles' actions, Eric signaled his wife to bring the child into the room, and then followed Charles to the side.

"Eric, I came to you out of helplessness. You have been targeted by Sebastian..."

Charles dropped a bombshell directly, and Eric's face changed drastically after hearing his words.

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Charles' face was serious as he stopped Eric's impulse to run away with his wife and daughter.

"Why? Why won't that guy let me go?"

Eric roared angrily. He had clearly made concessions and even concealed himself, but bad things still came to him.

"I was also wondering why that guy noticed you. But now I understand..."

Charles looked at Eric's house, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"He wants my baby?"

Eric's pupils contracted violently, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Memories of his childhood flooded into his mind. Sebastian seemed to have some kind of obsession with mutants, and as the person he once valued most, his child would inevitably attract that guy's attention.

"You still have a chance, Eric!"

Noticing his friend's anxiety, Charles hurried to comfort and persuade him.

"According to the information I have obtained, that guy doesn't seem to know what your child looks like. He only learned about it from the White Queen. What you need to do now is to keep your child away from you!"

"..."

Eric scratched his hair fiercely and walked back and forth. Finally, with reluctance in his eyes, he walked into the house under the gaze of Charles and Raven.

After a long time, Meredith picked up her luggage and disappeared into the night with her two children, looking back every step of the way.

"Are you so confident that you can let them leave?"

Charles was a little surprised.

"Well, I let her leave on her own. I don't know where she's going. You know the reason... Now I need you to do something for me!"

Eric looked in the direction where his wife and children left, with a firm look in his eyes.

"what's up?"

"Please help me tell Yongye a message... ask them to take care of my wife and children!"

"Eternal Night? You are indeed related to them."

Charles' eyes flashed with a hint of enlightenment.

His memory went back to the operation to capture the White Queen. That time, Yongye captured the White Queen before them and they happened to run into her. It was Eric who stood up and stopped the conflict between them and Yongye. He fought with a member of the Yongye team alone. Both sides seemed to be leaving room for maneuver. In the end, they handed the White Queen over to Eric.

From that time on, Charles had some guesses in his mind, and now, Eric's act of handing over his wife and daughter to Yongye further proved this point.

"Oh my god, are you from Eternal Night?"

Raven at the side couldn't help but exclaim, her expression mixed with uncontrollable surprise.

This is normal. After learning from Charles that Yongye was sucking the blood of mutants, Raven's image has always been that of a terrifying monster.

Eric, their friend, actually had a close relationship with the monsters of Eternal Night. The impact of this directly shattered Raven's long-held view of Eric.

"Well, I have an older brother... He is the head of Evernight Company."

A look of reminiscence came over Eric's face.

"Grand Duke of Eternal Night!"

At this moment, even Charles couldn't help but look shocked.
