Chapter 248: Playing with Fire

Xavier's Mansion.

On the lawn, a star-shaped portal suddenly appeared.

Jack stuck his head out from behind the door and looked to the left and right to make sure he was not in the wrong place.

He then walked out and closed the door without much thought.

Thanks to Miss America, it is easier for him to open the interdimensional portal now.

He could easily break through the barriers of the universe, something that even the Infinity Stones could not do so easily.

In the past, it took a lot of effort for Infinity Ultron to find the Watcher in the cracks of the multiverse.

But now, with just a thought, he could find anyone in the multiverse.

Well, as long as he had seen them before.

This time things were a bit more complicated.

It was not easy to stop the crazy Scarlet Witch, and he even fought with Mephisto because of it.

If Mephisto had not already been injured, it might not have been easy for them to win. After all, they are in the territory of the enemy.

After a busy time, Jack was exhausted and just wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep.

But before that, he had something to discuss with Charles.

Principal's Office.

"Jean Grey?"

Charles kept mumbling the name, and his face showed a bit of worry.

"This child... is indeed not easy to handle."

He had communicated with the future Professor X and knew some information about the future, including the Dark Phoenix.

After all, even he died at her hands in the future, so Charles was not sure if this time would be any different.

Charles would not have brought her to school if he had not thought leaving such a dangerous and powerful child outside would be even more risky.

He was originally hesitant, but now an old friend came to him and asked him to find this child.

This made things much simpler, and he didn't have to worry anymore.

Seeing his expression, Jack knew what he was thinking and smiled, shaking his head.

"Don't worry too much, Charles. You already know what will happen in the future, so there must be a way to prevent such a future from happening."

"Besides, this time, you're not alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of light flashed in the office, and a woman with seductress-like beauty appeared next to them.

"What's the matter with you? I'm busy, you know!"

Jack turned around and looked at Emma, still as beautiful and charming as ever. There was a hint of heat in his eyes.

"Did you catch him?"

"He is already been caught, and all of his research centers have been blown up."

Emma walked over, crossed Jack's knee with her thin, fair leg, and sat on his lap, facing him.

"We've sent a notice to the human government. If we find any similar experiments on mutants, we won't hold back next time."

"You actually held back before?"

Jack looked at the alluring figure from less than ten centimeters away, licked his lips hard, and swallowed his saliva.

Damn, was he away for too long? Is Emma... too hungry?

"Um... Should I leave for a moment?"

Even a blind person could see that there was something wrong between them.

Charles got up as if he was going to leave because he thought it would be awkward to stay any longer.

"Just wait a moment!"

However, Emma suddenly stepped back and sat down next to her on the couch, her face calm and thoughtful.

She seemed nothing like the person who had just shown an intense charm.

"..."

I was ready, and now you're playing this game?!

He suddenly realized that he was being teased.

"There are some things I need your help with. We've rescued many mutants. As usual, we leave it all to you. And you need to quickly organize the next batch of names for entry into the Elysium space."

Charles nodded without refusing. That was their work.

Most of the mutants who were saved would be sent to him for education, and then they would decide whether to stay or go.

"The list doesn't need to be rushed. Some children need to think about their parents and families. They don't want to leave them behind."

"Take your time. But it's best to do it quickly. And..."

While Jack watched Emma and Charles discussing as if he didn't exist, a wave of anger grew inside him.

"The rest can wait for another time!"

He pulled Emma up and embraced her, and the next second, both of them fell onto a soft and comfortable bed.

"You're playing with fire, beautiful lady!"

Jack held Emma's arms with both hands, staring straight into her eyes, with flames seemingly flickering in his gaze.

Emma looked back at him without fear, her lips slightly flushed, but she did not seem afraid.

"For ten years! You made me wait here for ten years!"

One sentence broke Jack's carefully built momentum and broke it into pieces.

Indeed, for him, it had only been a few months, but here it had been a full ten years.

Of course, to say that he felt guilty would be wrong.

Emma wasn't Diana, at most she was a sex friend he could have intimate contact with from a distance.

But when he left, he promised to come back soon, yet he made her wait for ten years.

He did feel a bit sorry about that.

"Um... about this..."

He tried to explain, but Emma, being smart, did not give him a chance.

...

Jack, the scumbag, had run away again.

After spending a whole seven days in the Land of Sex, he once again made a great escape.

Well, it couldn't really be considered running away because it was Emma who drove him away.

He still slightly remembered the disgusted expression on her face.

After he ate her, he was kicked out.

Huh, what a scum woman.

But then again, he was no better, a scum man himself.

Jack laughed at himself as he shook his head and opened the door to his house.

No one was there.

Wanda and Pietro were still at school. Although they had been accepted early, they still had to attend classes.

Jack walked slowly to the counter in the living room, bent down, and took a bottle of vodka from the cabinet. He poured himself a glass.

He carried the glass of alcohol and sat down on the sofa, letting out a sigh.

For some reason, he felt tired.

Mentally tired

He went to check it out, but he was busy for so many days.

He truly was more suited to being lazy.

With his left hand holding the glass, he reached out his right hand in front of him, feeling the power slowly merging inside him.

However, Jack did not feel any happiness in his heart for some reason.

He had a feeling that he had forgotten something important.

What could it be?

He finished the glass of alcohol, but Jack still couldn't figure out what it was.

Warm sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making him feel a bit sleepy.

Slowly, Jack closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
