Chapter 165

Gwen nodded her head, with big, bright eyes that looked like they were glowing in the sunlight.

How well behaved

Charles sighed as the smile on his face became more apparent.

Then, with a hand outstretched, he said, "Bring all the candy over here and I'll tell you."

Gwen shrank back and said, "Oka-... Wait... Noo!"

"No?"

Charles smirked annoyingly.

"If you don't give it to me, I'll tell Dad".

Gwen looked at Charles with wide, incredulous eyes and then pouted.

Charles "..."

How cute.

Sure enough, it was too much fun to bully his sister for something like this.

'Wait.. Why am i even acting this way?"

He's obviously not like this at X school, so how come he's a different person once he's back home?

Because, is this home?

Yes, because it's home.

He then took a breath as he composed himself.

Childish bastard

He mentally scolded himself and then continued his childish behaviour.

He stretched forward again.

Gwen sullenly handed a small bag of sweets to Charles.

Charles nodded and began to tell Gwen about the mutants.

Gradually Gwen's attention was drawn to it, and every now and then she let out a gasp.

Time passed unnoticed until Mike called out for them to eat and the two came back to their senses.

Gwen was a little impatient.

Charles, on the other hand, got up quickly and headed out the door.

He hadn't had a home cooked meal in a long time and missed it very much.

"Here you go two."

Charles took out two candies and handed them to Gwen, rubbing Gwen's head and said seriously, "Kids can't eat too much sugar, it's not good for your health, your teeth will rot out, you know?"

"Oh!"

Gwen nodded obediently and put the two candies into her pocket.

Charles pocketed the small bag of sweets and headed downstairs.

Listening to the sound of distant footsteps, Gwen closed the door, picked up the little piggy doll that sat on the bed, unzipped the back and smiled happily as she looked at the small bag of sweets inside.

It was a good thing she hadn't just taken it all out.

Skillfully placing the two pieces of candy inside and carefully zipping them up again, she ran downstairs with a happy hum.

"Slow down, it's not like anyone's stealing from you."

Mike said strictly, but with a smile on his face.

Charles responded vaguely twice and slowed down the pace of stuffing his mouth with food.

With Eric and Clark away, it was lonely not even having someone to grab food from ...

Charles thought inwardly.

A delicious lunch was quickly consumed by the three of them.

Charles and Gwen played for a while while Mike went to do the dishes, and after Mike came out, Gwen was driven upstairs to bed while Mike and Charles sat on the sofa and chatted casually.

When it came to the situation at X Academy and learning that Charles had taken on two students, Mike froze.

"Two students?"

Charles smiled smugly, "Didn't expect that, did you."

Mike nodded and said, "I thought you would have recruited students after the school officially opened."

"Not really recruiting, just happened to come across them." Charles took a sip of his cola and let out a comfortable breath, smiling, "They're both very talented and nice kids."

Mike raised an eyebrow.

"Two lovely girls." Charles smiled and said, "Jean and Ororo, I'll introduce you to them when I get a chance later."

Mike was mentally stunned.

Surprised it was these two?

Hey, it was really fate that what one was going to run into was destined to run into each other.

"How's Eric?"

Mike asked suddenly.

Charles put his can on the table in a slight motion and said to Mike, "He gave us an important piece of information, and we are waiting for the opportunity to plan our next move against the Black Queen."

"So soon?"

Mike was a little surprised.

Charles grimaced, "Dad, you'd never guess what a vicious and brutal person the Black Queen is."

"She has Hellfire's people creating killings and chaos just so people can collect life force for her!"

"She's not doing it for the mutants at all, she's doing it for herself! Hellfire has completely become a tool to satisfy her selfish desires!"

Mike sipped his can leisurely and said, "What's next is very important to you, do you need help? You and Fury don't have enough men, do you."

"Fury said he got two old friends to help, and there are some good men in S.H.I.E.L.D. too."

At that, Charles smiled and asked, "Didn't Fury ask you for help this time?"

Mike glanced at Charles lightly and said breathlessly, "Need it?"

This matter concerned Charles and Eric, and even if Nick Fury hadn't asked him for help, he would have gotten himself together, but what made him curious were Nick Fury's two old friends.

It couldn't ... be the two of them, could it?

A thought sprang to Mike's mind.

"Dad, your family's moved too, and I've had dinner, so tonight, let's start digging ... to open up the space under the ground."

Mike glanced faintly at Charles and grunted softly.

Charles grinned, giving a pleasing smile.

...

Late at night, Mike and Charles quietly appeared on the X Academy property.

Apart from Charles, there were only two people in the school at this time.

Ororo and Hank McCoy, Jean had been away for the past two days and had gone home to be with her parents.

The appearance of the two had not alerted them at all.

Charles looked at them with his powers and gave a smile after seeing that they were both sleeping heavily.

Tomorrow, they shouldn't be too surprised.

"Charles?"

"Hmm?"

Charles snapped back.

Mike let out a deep breath and said, "Do you have the design drawings for the underground space?"

"Yes!"

Charles nodded and said, "Wait for me."

With that, he walked quickly into the castle-like building in front of him.

Mike waited for a few minutes and Charles came out with the plans and handed them to Mike before saying, "What's next?"

"You just watch."

Mike said indifferently, and a card appeared in his hand.

[ Name: Onoki ]

[ Character Description: The third Tsuchikage of the village hidden in the stones, master of the 'Dust Release', powerful, a great ninja who loves his village and is extremely dedicated to defending its interests and protecting its residents ]

The card scattered with light.

A small old man with, a short stature, a red nose and a white beard appeared behind Mike, and after a flash of light turned into a point of light, rushed into Mike's body.
