Chapter 145: Headlines

Eric flew high in the sky, watching the people coming and going below him, his eyes complicated, and with a soft sigh, he quickly descended to the bank below.

This was not the first time he had done something like this, but he was still not used to it.

The people behind the Black Queen had recently disappeared and Eric had no way of finding them, but he had a stupid but simple solution.

Make things happen and let the other side come to him.

The Black Queen's Hellfire Club has been recruiting mutants, and as long as he shows great strength, even a proper hatred of humans and approval of the Black Queen's actions, he is sure that Hellfire will not let him go as a powerful fighter.

Eric's descent from the sky in full view of everyone caused a gasp of surprise.

He didn't care, but simply marched to the bank.

The bank guard who saw him descend from the sky said stiffly, "Sir, you want ..."

Eric tilted his head, and the invisible force pulled the guard backwards and knocked him unconscious against the wall.

At the sight of this, the other guards in the bank immediately took out their guns, and the people coming to the bank began to mix up.

Eric raised his hand and the gun pointed at him twisted and flew out with its owner.

The alarm bell rang, but Eric didn't care, just walked calmly to the counter.

People ran out screaming at the sight.

He looked at the other man, smiled lightly and said, "Where's the vault?"

The guard looked at Eric in horror, his whole body shaking, and stammered, "Over there!"

He reached out and pointed in the right direction, and Eric put the other man down, straightened his hat, and said, "Thank you."

With those words, he strode in the direction of the vault.

At that moment, the sound of sirens was heard from outside, and Eric turned to look at the entrance of the bank.

As he said this, he raised his hand and, to the horror of the police, the weapons were released from their hands and pointed at their original owners.

Eric smiled lightly and said, "See, by doing this, you're getting nervous too."

"What are you trying to do?"

The captain asked, summoning up his courage to address Eric.

"Ho!" Eric turned towards the vault and said, "Just trying to do some good like the Black Queen."

With a wave of his hand, the weapons slammed into their owners and sent them flying out of the bank, then with a grip behind Eric, the police cars parked at the door were flattened and flew towards the bank doors, sealing them up.

Eric walked slowly in the direction of the vault, his mind wondering what he could do later to make tomorrow's headlines, what he could do to attract attention.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

There it was.

He reached for the vault and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

A vault of steel and concrete was his favourite type of structure.

The vault was small, only about 200 square feet in size.

He aimed his hand at the vault and gave it a firm grip.

Boom, boom!

The ground trembled and the entire vault was pulled out of him like a drawer, to the horrified expressions of the bank staff.

The next second, Eric slowly floated up and flew towards the door of the bank, reaching out and tearing a hole in the door blocked by the police car, before flying out.

As he flew out, a barrage of bullets was fired from the sniper's rifle.

But they had no effect on him, and as they flew towards him, they had deflected their trajectory and flew off in all directions.

Eric floated above the crowd with a cocky grin on his face and said, "Ready to party?"

With those words, he made a pulling gesture with his palms backwards and the vault he had pulled out of the bank trembled in place and, to a shriek of horror, smashed through the doors of the bank and emerged into the street, rising into the air and appearing at Eric's feet to a pair of unbelieving looks.

"What's he trying to do?"

A policeman looked at the scene in horror, dropping his gun in his hand and resigning from his post.

Are you kidding me, they're supposed to fight a monster like this with these little guns?

What the fuck is wrong with the special services?

He couldn't help but think, as he saw the vault and Erik getting higher and higher.

He whispered, "Let's just go, let's go!"

"Do you think he'll smash it down?"

At that moment, a colleague beside him suddenly spoke up.

He felt like his head had been pinned down, and a shadow fell over him.

But in fact, Eric had no intention of doing so.

He just wanted to make a big splash, not to kill people.

What he really wanted was ...

"Whoa!"

A wall of the vault was ripped open, and with a slight wave of his hand, the safes with the money flew out.

He grinned and money rained down from the sky.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The people looked up at the sky with shock in their eyes and then ... went crazy.

The scene seemed to be frozen at this moment, with only endless madness taking over the entire street.

...

NYPD headquarters.

"Pah!"

The newspaper was thrown on the desk by the police chief, the headline was dominated by Eric, and underneath it were a few photos.

The rain of money, the crazy crowd, and Eric flying in the sky.

There was a touch of cynicism.

The police commissioner gasped, looking angrily at the crowd and said, "Look, what's all this? What are you doing for food? Who is this man? What is he up to? Someone please tell me!"

The others in the office looked around cautiously and bowed their heads in silence.

They didn't know shit ...

"This is rampant, this mutant is rampant!"

Even with all his years of experience in dealing with criminals he have never seen such an arrogant criminal.

The first thing you need to do is to look at the picture of him flying in mid-air with the vault, and you will already be shocked.

How could it be another horrible mutant criminal?

There was a moment of silence in the office.

The police commissioner took a deep breath and said, "Get your heads together and arrest the mutant as soon as he appears!"

"Commissioner, aren't we going to ask S.H.I.E.L.D. for help?"

"Do you have shit for brains?"

The police chief pulled the man by the collar and snapped, "You don't think we're good enough as the police department right now, do you?"

The man said something and laughed.

The chief let go of the other man's collar and said angrily to the crowd, "Get out!"
