Chapter 40 - Erik Embarks on the Path of Revenge

Because of his memory loss, Fire Cloud Evil God felt muddled after waking up. After a moment, he noticed Han Shaoqing beside him.

At this moment, the killing intent in Fire Cloud Evil God's eyes was completely gone, replaced by unusual respect. He stood up respectfully and said, "Thank you, Young Master Qing, for healing your subordinate."

In Fire Cloud Evil God's memories, Han Shaoqing had once saved his life. To repay this kindness, he chose to join Han Shaoqing's ranks, willing to serve him loyally.

During their previous 'sparring', he was defeated and injured. Fortunately, Han Shaoqing treated him, and he was not seriously hurt.

But deep down, Fire Cloud Evil God felt that something wasn't right.

He just couldn't remember what it was.

Han Shaoqing smiled and said, "It's a small matter. After you recover, find time to merge the other gangs into Yian. Hong Kong is in a mess right now; it's time to clean things up."

"It's not difficult to deal with the gangs in Hong Kong, but the British side is more troublesome. They don't want to see the underground forces in Hong Kong merge."

The Fire Cloud Evil God, whose memory had been altered, was now completely focused on Han Shaoqing. As far as loyalty was concerned, he might even surpass Wu Shihao.

Hong Kong was still a colony, and the British didn't want to manage it, nor did they want anyone else to. They were just dragging their feet, playing games.

The Fire Cloud Evil God had once considered unifying Hong Kong's underworld, but he held back due to the British military and the presence of extraordinary forces.

"Don't worry about the British for now. Just quietly eliminate some of the rebels."

Han Shaoqing already had a plan. He would go to Britain when he had time, partly to visit the London Temple and partly to see if he could contact other Mutants.

The Mutants originated tens of thousands of years ago. After the Celestial beings discovered humans on Earth, they conducted experiments on primitive humans, which proved successful, resulting in the X-gene.

This gene had strong mutation and potential. After countless years of evolution, the first Mutant in Earth's history was born in 3000 AD.

He was from ancient Egypt and was called En Sabah Nur, also known as Apocalypse.

This world, since Namor exists, probably has other Mutants.

Of course, the term Mutant doesn't exist yet. In China, they're called Otherworldly Beings, and they have different names elsewhere.

Mutants' genes are unstable, yet they possess great power, but their numbers were few in ancient times.

It wasn't until modern times, with the development of technology and nuclear energy, that radiation increased daily. Not only were Titans gradually being radiated, but the number of newly born Mutants was also increasing.

Calculating the time, it was the period of the US-Soviet Cold War. Hong Kong newspapers also reported on the Cuban Missile Crisis.

This couldn't help but make Han Shaoqing think of the plot of X-Men: First Class.

At the same time.

Argentina, Villa Gesell Hotel.

Middle-aged Erik Lehnsherr was currently searching for Sebastian Shaw.

During World War II, Erik Lehnsherr and his family, being Jewish, were captured and sent to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

When he was separated from his parents, Erik, in a moment of great emotion, awakened his Mutant gene and gained the ability to control magnetic fields.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Sebastian Shaw.

Sebastian Shaw, who was a scientist at the time, discovered the young Erik. To stimulate Erik's abilities, he killed Erik's mother in front of him, thus creating a deep, blood feud.

Later, Erik escaped the concentration camp relying on his Mutant abilities. After growing up, he had been searching for Sebastian Shaw.

Where there's a will, there's a way. After much investigation, Erik finally got a lead on Sebastian Shaw from a bank manager.

After resting for a day, Erik, looking travel-worn, rushed to a peaceful little mountain village.

Walking in the sunset, Erik entered a Western-style saloon.

There were only three people in the saloon, a bartender, and two customers, making it seem rather deserted.

He casually hung his coat and hat on the coat rack in the saloon, and Erik greeted calmly, "Good evening, friends."

"Good evening, what would you like to drink?" The bartender asked.

"Give me a glass of iced beer, thanks."

Erik sat down on a chair, his eyes fixed on the photos on the wall beside him.

There were three people in the photos, with his target, Sebastian Shaw, standing in the middle, and the two drinking beside him on either side.

The bartender brought Erik a beer, and Erik asked, "German beer?"

"Of course."

The bartender seemed somewhat reluctant to deal with Erik, even though Germany had been defeated, he still didn't like Jews.

Erik didn't speak again, but the bald man beside him did not remain silent: "This is Bitburger Beer, do you like it?"

Erik took a sip: "It tastes good."

Then he turned to look at the two men: "You should be Germans, why did you think of coming to Argentina?"

"The weather is nice here, I'm a pig farmer, hahahaha..."

The bald man was a little drunk, laughing incoherently.

The small mustached man next to him also laughed: "I've been a tailor since I was a child, my father was the best tailor in Dusseldorf!"

Facing the two who dodged the question, Erik's expression remained calm as he stood up, beer in hand, and sat down beside them. "It's a coincidence, my parents were also from Dusseldorf."

As soon as he said this, the bald man and the man with the mustache's expressions shifted slightly, and they sobered up a bit, asking, "What were their names?"

"They didn't have names!"

Erik shook his head slightly.

The bald man and the man with the mustache heard this, their smiles faded, and their faces instantly turned grim.

Decades ago, they were both soldiers in Dusseldorf, and at that time, Dusseldorf was occupied. People without names in Dusseldorf only had one identity.

That was a prisoner of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

War was cruel and insane. At that time, they both had the blood of many people on their hands. Perhaps it was guilt after the war, or perhaps they were afraid of retaliation, that's why they came to live in a small mountain village in Argentina.

The three of them silently took a sip of their beer, and the bartender, sensing something was amiss, reached for the pistol under the bar.

Erik looked coldly at the two beside him: "Their names were taken, by the pig farmers, by the tailors."

Speaking of which, Erik revealed the number from Auschwitz Concentration Camp on his arm.

The mustached man and the bald man understood that the person in front of them had come for revenge.

Knowing that the visitor was not friendly, the bald man quietly reached for the dagger at his waist, and stabbed at Erik's neck with a backhand.

Unfortunately, he was old, no longer as valiant as he once was, and Erik grabbed his arm and took the dagger.

Looking at the dagger engraved with "Blood and Honor", Erik did not hesitate to stab the dagger into the bald man's palm, and blood immediately spurted out.

The mustached man got up to help, while the young bartender took out a pistol and aimed it at Erik, but when he wanted to pull the trigger, he found that the trigger seemed to be stuck, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it.

This was precisely Erik's ability: to control magnetic fields, and thereby control metal.
