Chapter 61: Gift

　　The morning battle left Eric and Charles exhausted.

　　After eating at noon, the two little guys were so sleepy that they fell asleep. Mike rested for a while and started to prepare for dinner. When Clark saw it, he immediately came to help.

　　In the evening, after a sumptuous dinner, the family of four gathered around the fireplace, each holding a cup of hot drink and watching TV, with no intention of going out under the heavy snow.

　　Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on the TV.

　　Tony Stark.

　　At this time, Tony Stark sincerely wished everyone a Merry Christmas.

　　This is the Christmas blessing time for companies and officials. As the new head of Stark Industries, Tony Stark is naturally the one to appear.

　　"Huh? This guy has started running Stark Industries?"

　　Mike was stunned for a while, looking at the young face that was full of narcissism.

　　It seems that although he saved Howard, things still developed according to the original trajectory.

　　Is this the ability of fate?

　　Just then, Mike heard some conversation.

　　Charles: "This person...isn't that strange man that day?"

　　Eric: "Yeah! the one looking for food"

　　Clark: "he turned out to be a rich man? But looking at that stinky face..."

　　The three said in unison, "I really want to hit him!"

　　Mike chuckled.

　　"Dad, let's take a photo!"

　　Charles suddenly took out his camera.

　　Eric took out a red Santa hat and put it on Mike's head.

　　Then Clark took out a gift box and brought it to Mike, saying, "This is prepared by the three of us together."

　　Mike was stunned for a moment, looking at the gift box handed to him, his heart warmed, and tears threatens to burst out

　　Mike hugged the three of them fiercely and put the gift box aside.

...

　　He sat under the Christmas tree with the three brothers standing behind Mike, letting Eric take control of the camera.

　　"Merry Christmas!"

　　While shouting in unison, the screen flashes.

　　In the photo, under the Christmas tree, the four of them are smiling brightly.

　　At night, when the three kids returned to their room, they looked at the sports bikes placed in the room and the Santa decoration hanging on them, and cheered loudly.

　　Clark's was blue, and after Eric and Charles' 'friendly' negotiation, Eric chose black, and Charles got the white one with a sad face.

　　Hearing the sounds from the children's room, Mike smiled contentedly, and then took out the gifts the children had prepared for him.

　　It was a gift box the size of half a palm.

　　There shouldn't be anything big.

　　Mike murmured, and after tearing it apart, he was a little surprised.

　　It was a gold ring.

　　gold?

　　Mike frowned.

　　These guys, where did they get the money to buy them? Is it even possible to buy this with their own ability?

　　At this moment, Mike saw a small card under the gift box.

　　To our dear dad..

　　After a warm sentence, three names in different fonts were written below, and then in the corner under, a sentence was written that made Mike laugh and cry.

　　PS: This is what we bought with pocket money that we have saved for a long time.

　　The words for a "long time" and "pocket money" were also bolded.

　　Needless to say, it must have been Charles' idea.

　　Picking up the ring, he noticed that there were words inside the ring.

　　To dear dad.

　　Mike wore it, the size is right.

　　'Ha, I didn't expect that the first ring I'd wear in this world was actually given by children.'

　　As he thinks of this, Mike can't help but smile, and even rolled happily on the bed like a child.

　　"dad?"

　　Clark suddenly appeared at the door.

　　Mike froze, faked a cough, got up and looked at Clark at the door, and said, "What's the matter?"

　　"Eric and Charles want me to ask you if we can have buns tomorrow morning?"

　　Mike rarely does it because he finds it troublesome.

　　"Bun? No problem!"

　　Mike nodded.

　　Clark smiled, closed the door, turned to give Eric and Charles a high-five, gave a small cheer, then went back to their rooms and went to bed.

　　The next day, the Kent family had a good day in New York City, bought some things, and after a night of rest, they ended their Christmas trip and returned to their farm outside New York City to resume their normal life.

　　...

(Raven's POV)

Because of her unique mutant ability, she is regarded as the best agent and the best infiltrator.

　　Today, as the New Year approaches, she has a new mission, assassination.

　　It was a scientist, an executioner who experimented with mutants, dissected countless mutants, and would pose a huge threat to mutants in the future.

　　She has killed many people, but no one has ever made her heart skip like this.

　　When she looked into the other party's bloody research reports she felt like she was poured on by a basin of ice water from the top of her head, which made her shudder unconsciously.

　　Immediately, incomparable anger began to burn from the bottom of my heart.

　　Therefore, even if she did not get the approval of the Black King and that woman for this, she'd still do this to the end.

　　Thinking of that, her eyes sank.

　　Since that woman appeared few years ago and became the Black Queen, the Black King's behavior changed drastically and the people of the The Hellfire Club also changed because of this.

　　they became cruel, became violent and ruthless.

　　Hellfire Club...

　　If it goes on like this, it will definitely collapse.

　　After taking a deep breath, she exhaled, and after driving all the distracting thoughts out of her mind, she looked at the research institute not far away.

　　She has already found the whereabouts of the other party, and she is in front of the place disguised as the General Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

　　After several transformations, she temporarily knocked down those unsightly people, and after catching an inconspicuous corner, she has changed from a security guard to an experimental assistant, and only a few people can enter and exit important areas.

　　With an ugly face, a fat body, and sparse beard, and dark circles under her eyes, no one would have thought that he and she were the same person now.

　　After fingerprint verification and pupil identification, she finally entered the deepest part of the institute.

　　Then, looking at everything inside, she felt her mind go blank.

　　So cruel...

　　The comatose mutants are like lambs to be slaughtered, locked in separate special compartments, some people brought in and some are turned into 'parts' and sent out.

　　"Vader! let's go, the doctor is looking for you, there is an experiment waiting for you to decompose."

　　An experimenter patted her on the shoulder and spoke to him.

　　Raven nodded to him and walked to the laboratory with him.

　　Her eyes were extremely cold.
