Chapter 228: Propose

Returning to the familiar Xavier Mansion, Jack felt like he had traveled through time.

He wondered if Emma and the others had followed his instructions and made progress.

Erik probably wouldn't be obedient, and Charles wasn't sure if he could control him.

"Honk!"

A horn behind him snapped him back to reality.

He turned around and saw a dark green car stopped behind him, or rather, he was blocking their way since he was standing at the entrance gate.

The people in the car kept honking angrily at him to get out of the way, but Jack looked curiously at them.

Finally, the person in the car couldn't stand it anymore, opened the door, and walked towards him.

"Hey, buddy, didn't anyone tell you not to stand in the middle of the road? I'm in a hurry, so you better move before I get angry."

Logan walked toward him in big steps, taking off his sunglasses angrily and trying to contain his temper while looking at this guy with no traffic sense.

If Kitty had not told him to stay calm, and if this guy had not looked like a student from the school. With his bad temper from living through the war for years, he would have hit him with a car immediately.

Jack seemed to ignore Logan's anger and instead looked at the dark green car behind him.

"I guess this car isn't yours, am I right?"

He shifted his gaze back to Logan, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"It's quite impressive, the mutants' abilities to travel through time and space."

"But I think you are the only one who can handle the pressure of traveling through time like that."

When hearing Jack's words, Logan's expression changed instantly.

This person actually knew that he had traveled back in time from the future?

It seemed like he knew a lot about the rules of time travel as well.

Also, it seemed like he was waiting for him here.

Who is he?

This question echoed in Logan's mind as he instinctively revealed his bone claws, vigilantly watching the other person.

"Relax, Logan, there are no bad guys here."

Jack seemed unaware of Logan's wary and suspicious gaze. He casually smiled, then turned and disappeared in front of him.

"What the fuck!?"

Suddenly losing sight of Jack, Logan was surprised.

He looked around but found no trace of him. This meant that the other person was also a mutant and that he knew about his origins.

So there was a good chance that they were not enemies.

After all, mutants from the future were being hunted ruthlessly, and the Sentinels never accepted surrender.

So it was likely that they were on the same team.

As for the other person's purpose for coming here, he wasn't sure yet. The most important first was to find the Professor.

Thinking this, Logan quickly opened the gate, got into the car, and drove into the mansion.

At this moment, Jack had already entered the mansion.

Since his last stay, there have been a lot of changes here.

First, the atmosphere. Before, Charles and Raven were the only ones who lived in this huge mansion, but now...

Looking at the students walking back and forth in the corridors with books in their hands, and the children arguing loudly in the hall, it was obvious that this place could now be called a school.

A lively school.

"Jack?"

Suddenly, someone walked out from around the corner.

Jack was taken back when he saw the curious and stunned look on his face. Then, the person walked towards him with a pleasantly surprised expression.

"Oh my God, you're finally back."

"You've been gone for... about ten years."

Jack raised his hand to interrupt the other person's trying to hug him, patting his arm instead.

"It's been a while. I came back to take a look. You've become quite strong; you look a bit like a beast."

"I've been working out recently. Raven says having more muscles makes me more masculine."

Hank smiled shyly.

"Raven?"

Jack looked at Hank and teased,

"Are you pursuing her? To be honest, she's not someone you can easily handle."

"The best way to whisper behind people's backs is quietly."

Another familiar voice came from the side. Jack turned around and saw Raven coming down the stairs.

"Hey, Raven, long time no see."

Seeing her, Jack's eyes lit up, and he opened his arms to hug her. Raven didn't refuse, and the two of them hugged for a moment.

On the side, Hank felt a little down as he could tell that he was being treated differently.

"I thought you died in that corner."

As they separated from the hug, Raven playfully punched Jack, jokingly saying,

"If that had happened, Emma would have gotten all of your inheritance. She would have become the richest woman in the world. Maybe I could have benefited from it too."

It was clear that Jack's return made her happy as well.

After all, they were old friends.

"Well, that would probably mean a lot of inheritance tax."

Jack chuckled, "Where's Charles?"

"Um... Do you have something important to tell him?"

Speaking about this topic, Hank's expression became somewhat weird, while Raven seemed a bit frustrated.

"He's probably busy with his Moira MacTaggert thing right now."

Raven's words carried a hint of sarcasm, "No one knows if he will come back tonight or not."

"Well, in that case, I might have to apologize to him. There's someone with important matters who wants to see him, and I can't stay for long either."

Jack's consciousness traveled around the world, looking for Charles, and he found him immediately.

With a gentle touch of his finger, Charles appeared out of thin air in front of the three.

"Moira, you're my..."

Charles was on one knee, looking up at her from a 45-degree angle while carrying a bouquet of roses.

Clearly, he was in the middle of a confession, but Jack interrupted him right at the beginning.

Charles, who was passionately confessing, suddenly noticed that Moira was gone.

Instead, his old friend, Hank, stood there in her place.

While still holding the roses and looking affectionately at Hank, the sudden change in surroundings froze his expression.

To outsiders, he seemed like he was waiting for Hank's response.

Hank clearly hadn't expected the situation to turn out this way either. For a moment, he stood there, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The two of them locked eyes.

"..."

The scene became extremely awkward for a moment.

Raven and Jack understood what was going on, they couldn't help but cringe, and coincidentally, a group of students happened to pass by them as they finished their classes.

Seeing the situation between the two, they were instantly shocked.

"Oh my... Professor and Hank? Aren't they good friends?"

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God."

"Am I hallucinating?"

"Someone wake me up."

The boys looked at the two with shocked expressions, feeling like their idea had been shattered.

"Oh~ I knew it! There must be something going on between them."

"I've heard rumors about them for a while, but I never thought it was true."

"No wonder Hank and the Professor are always together. So, this is the truth."

"What a sweet romance."

The scene was filled with discussions, and just at that moment, someone shouted,

"Marry him."

The surrounding students heard it and joined in, eager to watch the spectacle.

"Marry him."

"Marry him."

"Marry him."

...

The voices could be heard all over the mansion, which made Logan stop before he knocked on the door.

Are there so many people here?

Marry him? Marry who? Who's getting married?

Inside, the scene continued, and Raven, who had already stepped back to the crowd, gave a strange look to the person beside her, who had a mischievous smile.

It was him who shouted first...
