Chapter 157: Ambush

"The Elysium" Jack gazed at the newly built city outside, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"This city can fit over five million people. It's a little less, but it's enough for now. If we need to, we can make it bigger that way."

He pointed to the forest surrounding the city and explained, "That forest can be cleared at any time. For the details on how to do it, you can ask Emma."

"Emma?"

When the name Emma was mentioned during the intro, the two listeners paused for a moment, but they quickly realized who this Emma was.

"That's right. The former White Queen of the Hellfire Club. With my amazing unique charm, I managed to recruit her. Now, she is the leader of the Elysium. It's best for you to have a good relationship with her."

Jack smiled and made clear that he couldn't stay long in this world. Even after he left, Emma would continue to manage the Elysium.

Charles and Erik exchanged a glance, both sensing a hint of surprise.

They were well aware of the White Queen of the Hellfire Club.

They had wondered why they hadn't seen her before, but now they understood that Jack had recruited her.

"Let's discuss the future development direction for mutants together," Jack said, putting his arms around their shoulders.

They walked toward the conference room, where they needed to plan the way to the future.

After three hours of serious discussion, The long-term plan for the Mutant Nation's development was established.

Firstly, Charles would establish a mutant school, just like before.

He would be responsible for interacting with the human world and negotiating, but this time he wouldn't interfere alone as he did before.

Erik would lead a group of willing mutants to save their suffering from other mutants worldwide. They would rescue mutants and bring them to Charles' school for education.

Then, it would be up to them to decide if they wanted to stay on Earth or move to the Elysium.

Emma played an important role. She would use Elysium's influence to prevent the governments of Earth from openly persecuting mutants.

When they were truly prepared, the Mutant Nation would be born!

These were just long-term plans, and the specifics would need to be discussed by Charles and Erik themselves.

Jack no longer had to manage these matters. He had already set everything in motion and was now waiting for Jean to return.

He also planned to temporarily leave for a while. After all, he had been away for over two months and had no idea how things were going with Wanda.

As Erik and Charles returned to Earth to strategize and assign tasks, Jack once again opened a portal and jumped into it!

Passing through that dazzling and weird space once more, it was much easier for him this time.

After who knows how many hours of traveling, Jack finally broke free from the spatial portal.

"Hmm?"

When returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he realized he wasn't in the same place he had left. Instead, he found himself on top of a mountain!

It was still evening, though he didn't know the exact time, but it was likely quite late.

When he released his super hearing, the loud mixed sounds rushed into his ears like waves.

Luckily, It had only been a little over a month since he left, which confirmed one thing for him—the difference in time flow.

Just as he couldn't control the exact moment he arrived in the X-Men universe, he also couldn't control the exact moment of his return.

If he had absorbed the full Time Stone, it wouldn't be a problem.

Jack's expression became a bit strange as he looked towards the mountainside. There was a beautiful rich Chinese-style yard.

But that wasn't the focus. The focus was that something that caught his attention was happening there!

In a flash, his figure disappeared, only to reappear above the courtyard.

The courtyard had a standard Chinese design.

The yard was built with cobblestones leading from the main gate to the house's entrance.

Beside the path, there was a pond and a fake mountain, with the water adding a touch of natural beauty to the courtyard.

However, at this very moment, a serious and scenery-destroying battle was happening in this garden!

To be exact, it was an ambush

Seven or eight men were surrounding a woman dressed in a loose white training robe.

Several men had already been knocked down on the ground, gasping for breath and looking like they could pass out at any moment.

The most important thing was that they were all Chinese!

When Jack realized this, panic rushed inside him, and he instinctively wanted to flee. However, he stopped in his tracks when he discovered this courtyard behind him.

Because it was indeed fascinating.

Observing the woman struggling in the courtyard below, Jack raised an eyebrow. She looked similar to a celebrity he had seen in his previous life, but he couldn't remember her exact name.

Based on his previous encounters with familiar people, they were usually characters from the movies.

Since she seemed to be a character from a comic adaptation, he decided to make contact to find out which comic it was based on.

Also, Jack didn't like it when a group of guys ambushed a woman.

While he was thinking, the situation below changed.

Bang!

Finally unable to hold on any longer, the woman exposed an opening and was kicked in the lower abdomen.

She stumbled back a few steps, struggling to stay on her feet, grasping her abdomen and breathing heavily, blood leaking from the corner of her mouth as she looked at the people in front of her.

"Don't blame us! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for marrying the wrong person!"

As the woman could no longer hold on, the leader of the group uttered these words with maliciousness, clenching his fist and charging towards her, intending to finish her off.

The woman was too weak to dodge anymore and could only watch as the fist got closer.

It was at this critical moment!

Bang!

A person fell from the sky, crushing the man beneath his feet!

"Ah~!!"

With the man screaming in agony, the others around finally snapped out of their daze.

"I don't mind if a guy beats a woman, but it depends on the situation."

Jack casually turned around and glanced at the other men, his tone was calm. "A group of big men ganging up on a woman, that's a bit too much!"

"???"

The few remaining men exchanged glances and looked at their fallen comrades scattered around, feeling strongly that even in a one-on-one fight, they should have been able to win!

"Get lost!"

Jack waved his hand with disgust on his face, and in the next moment, all the people standing or lying in the courtyard vanished as if they had never appeared.

After doing this, Jack turned to look at the woman. Before he could say anything, her eyes closed shut, and with a thud, she collapsed to the ground.

"..."
