Chapter 150: Real plan

It was quite interesting in the middle of the time freeze.

Azazel, faintly visible in the red mist, Riptide is hidden within the hurricane, and Shaw, with a violent expression, tries to kill Jack.

Jack crossed the bar counter and approached the sofa. With a wave of his hand, nanobots took away their genes. He then snapped his fingers, restoring the flow of time.

In an instant, Azazel's dagger missed its target and stabbed into Shaw's arm, but the kinetic energy was perfectly absorbed, causing no harm.

Shaw, who had lost his target, stumbled and collided with Riptide's hurricane, which was also perfectly absorbed by him.

Suddenly without Jack's presence, the three of them were briefly stunned. At this moment, Jack's voice faintly reached their ears.

"I think we can sit down and have a good talk."

The three turned quickly, only to find Jack calmly sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and showing a mischievous smirk as he looked at them.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Jack suddenly slapped his forehead in realization, then glanced at Azazel and Riptide.

In the next moment, the two of them were frozen just like before, as if someone had pressed the pause button on time.

The only one left unaffected, Shaw, witnessed the situation of his companions and finally realized what had happened moments ago.

He looked at Jack with growing fear.

He couldn't defend against this strange ability. If the other person wanted to kill him, he would have died just now.

"Please, have a seat. Let's have a good chat," Jack gestured, and after hesitating for a moment, Shaw sat across from him.

"I learned a secret from the White Queen," Jack said as he poured himself a glass of alcohol. In the next moment, a glass appeared in front of Shaw on its own.

"You plan to start a nuclear war, using the nuclear to create more mutants? It's not a bad idea, fast and effective," Jack continued.

"But I know about your past, I know about your abilities. I don't think you're the kind of person who fights for the future of the mutant race. So..."

Jack looked seriously at Shaw, saying something. "Can you tell me what your main purpose is behind all of this?"

In reality, Shaw wasn't originally a mutant. However, after encountering a young Magneto, he developed a great interest in mutants.

[Remember this is FANFICTION]

He captured some found mutants and conducted experiments on them. Finally, by transplanting mutant organs, he awakened his own ability!

The power of energy absorption!

So you're saying he fought for the future of mutants?

Come on, he killed just as many mutants as humans during his experiments, so Jack would never believe that everything he did was for mutants.

Shaw must have had another purpose.

And what Jack wanted to do was to expose Shaw's true intentions so that the White Queen, who was hiding in the background, could see his real plan!

This would greatly help Jack in recruiting her.

Sure enough, as soon as Shaw heard Jack's question, his face changed again. His mind was filled with countless thoughts, and almost instinctively, he came up with many ideas.

And every single one of his thoughts was clearly observed by the White Queen, concealed behind the area!

That's right, the White Queen had been there all along. Only Jack could see her, but she could use her abilities to influence others, such as reading minds.

After Jack asked that question, Emma had been paying close attention, using her telepathic abilities to the highest, wanting to see if Shaw truly had other motives.

However, she didn't even need telepathy. Just by seeing the expression on his face, Emma understood everything. But to be sure, she still activated her telepathy, but what she saw this time was beyond her expectations!

She witnessed how Shaw had forced a young Erik, how he captured and studied mutants, performed experiments, and transplanted organs to gain abilities.

She also saw his hands stained with the blood of mutants!

Most importantly, she discovered Shaw's real plan!

He did absolutely want to create a world only for mutants, but his goal was not for the sake of mutants, but for himself!

Just as she had suspected, he wanted to use the power of nuclear war to make himself even stronger and become the final ruler among mutants in the world.

Emma even saw how Shaw planned to brainwash her into becoming his loyal follower.

She also discovered that he had specifically tasked the Russians to create a helmet that blocked telepathy as protection against her.

At this moment, the huge blow left Emma feeling a bit confused. The savior of mutants she had always believed in turned out to be this person.

What should she do now?

At that moment, Jack waved his hand, and Emma's figure appeared.

He looked at the confused Emma, then at the frozen Shaw, and sighed, "What do you plan to do with him?"

When hearing his voice, Emma looked up at him, puzzled for a moment, and murmured, "I don't know..."

"Then, let him go for now."

Jack stood up, walked over to Emma, took her hand, and looked at her with a low yet determined tone, "Cooperate with me, and I can give you what you want!"

Emma looked deeply into Jack's eyes for a while, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll cooperate with you!"

"A wise choice!"

Jack smiled approvingly and instantly teleported both of them away. After they disappeared, Shaw and the others recovered to control over time.

Shaw furrowed his brow, looking around, not understanding Jack's motives.

But he could sense that he seemed to have lost something.

On the other side,

Jack brought Emma to Charles' mansion.

It was still late at night, but the mansion appeared lively, with lights shining brightly from the mansion, accompanied by intense sounds of a fight.

Jack and Emma appeared at the door, hearing the fight inside, both looking confused.

Jack wondered what these siblings were up to, while Emma wondered who they were.

"What's going on?"

Jack shook his head, pushed open the door, and a glint of cold light suddenly flew towards him, aiming for his head.

At a critical moment, a petrified hand grabbed the cold light. Jack looked and saw that it was holding a fork.

A dinner fork.

"Well, what's going on here?"

Jack glanced inside, and oh boy, it was a mess.

It was perfectly fine when he left, but now it looked like a thief had paid a visit.

There was chaos all over the floor, with pillows, vases, curtains, telephones, and fruits scattered around.

Who knows what happened?

"Is it you?"

The two people facing each other in the living room looked over when hearing the voice. Charles showed a hint of blame mixed with resentment, while Raven showed a hint of joy mixed with anger.

And when they saw the shining White Queen next to Jack, both of them instantly froze.

Another... another compatriot?
