Winter turned to spring, and the three Clarkes were a year older.

Clark is already in high school, and Eric is about to graduate from elementary school.

"What? Spring outing? ”

Mike looked at the happy Charles and Eric, raised his eyebrows, put down the water glass in his hand, and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"New York."

The two were a little lost.

They thought they could go a little further afield, after all, it was a commemorative trip to their primary school before graduation.

Mike nodded and said, "Yes, but ...... Don't get into trouble! ”

The two of them high-fived each other, then stretched out their hands to Mike and said, "Money!" ”

Mike smiled and nodded to the two of them, took out his wallet, took out some money and handed it over, and said, "How many days?" ”

The two happily took it and said, "Three days." ”

"So long?"

Mike was a little surprised, then showed a smile and deliberately said, "Great, I can finally be quiet for a few days." ”

Charles: "I'll miss you, Daddy!" ”

Mike reached out and flicked Charles's head and said, "Just don't make trouble for me." ”

Eric said solemnly: "I will be optimistic about Charles." ”

Mike touched Eric's head and said, "When are you leaving?" Tomorrow? ”

"Yes, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Are you packed?"

"Let's clean up right away!"

The two cheered and ran upstairs.

Looking at the backs of the two, Mike smiled and shook his head.

……

Early the next morning, Charles and Eric rushed to school.

Today, they're leaving for New York.

Although they have been there many times and visited all the places they should play, they are still very happy because of this spring outing.

After all...... No classes.

On the bus hired by the school.

Charles and Eric sat together, whispering something, waiting for the car to start.

"Hey, Erik, can you switch places with me?"

Just then, a blonde girl walked up to Eric who was sitting next to the aisle, whispered a polite question, and looked at Charles.

Eric looked at it and said without hesitation: "No! ”

The girl puffed out her mouth and said, "Hurry up!" I'm going to sit with Charles. ”

Upon hearing this, Charles smiled and said happily: "Of course you can, Mirian!" ”

As he spoke, he nudged Eric and whispered in his ear, "Hurry up!" ”

Eric looked at Charles angrily, got up angrily, and walked to the girl's seat.

Charles smiled proudly, got up and opened the window, and said, "Sit inside, you can watch the scenery." ”

The girl looked at Charles happily and said, "You are really a gentleman." ”

Charles raised his head and said, "I've always been like this. ”

Looking at the two laughing people, Eric rolled his eyes and said, "It's shameless." ”

"Well, Eric, do you want a snack?"

At this moment, sitting next to Eric, the girl with curly hair who had been secretly watching Eric carefully opened her backpack.

Eric looked at it and said coldly, "Thank you!" ”

The girl looked carefully at Eric's side face, blushing slightly.

Still that cool......

Moments later, the bus was full, and the car started and headed for New York.

When they came to New York, the group first came to the hotel where they were staying, put down their luggage, and immediately rushed to the scenic spots.

There were only three days, so the itinerary was very tight.

After visiting a few attractions, the day passed quickly, but for Charles and Eric it was a bit boring today.

Because they've been everywhere they've been, there's really nothing surprising about them.

However, as night fell, and the children had eaten dinner and returned to their rooms, Charles and Eric, who were living in the same room, got up with a grunt.

"What do you want to do?"

Eric looked at Charles.

Charles rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I told my dad that I'd watch you."

"......" was silent, and Charles said, "What together?" ”

Eric sneered and said, "It's not together, it's me looking at you!" ”

Charles was speechless and said, "Then you can follow." ”

As he spoke, he quickly got dressed, pressed his eyebrows, and quickly checked around with his ability, and found that all the people who should have slept were asleep, and a few people who didn't sleep, he also used his ability to make them fall asleep, opened the door and walked out.

Eric hurried out.

It's midnight, and even in such a bustling city, at this point in time, there is a little more loneliness.

Stepping on the dim light, Charles looked at the street where there were not many people, and hailed a taxi in front of the hotel, Eric hurried to follow Charles, who was silent, and after Charles named a location, the taxi rushed to the destination.

"What are you going to do here?"

Seeing that Charles didn't look like a whim, but with a purpose, Eric couldn't help but ask.

Charles held out his finger a little on his forehead, using his power to connect himself to Eric's mind.

"I'm going to save people."

"Saving people?"

The two exchanged in their minds.

"Do you remember the flower sellers we saw at the Empire State Building during the day?"

"Hmm."

Eric was very impressed with those children.

The children were younger than him and Charles, dressed in shabby clothes and emaciated.

They held flowers, stopped couples coming to the Empire State Building, hugged men's legs, and begged them to buy bouquets of flowers for their female companions.

The flowers are beautiful, but expensive, and the price is more than ten times that of a normal bouquet of flowers.

Therefore, there are many people who will not be the wronged leader, and even occasionally encounter a grumpy person, and when those children go up to pester each other, they will inevitably be pushed and beaten.

"Those children didn't come to sell flowers because their families were poor, and they weren't street children, they were forced to come out to sell flowers."

When Charles saw the children, he used his ability to check them out out of curiosity, and then let him see some very bad pictures.

Eric grew his mouth in surprise.

Immediately, he listened to Charles again: "And, the man who forced them, if I am not mistaken, is a mutant." ”

"Mutants!"

Eric exclaimed.

Charles pressed his forehead, recalled the images in the children's minds, and said: "After they were taken away by that person, they were pressed on the head by the man's hand, and then the pattern of roses would appear on their bodies, and then the child would follow the man's orders." ”

"Mind control?"

Eric said in confusion.

"It should be a similar ability." Charles nodded.

"So now are we going to find those children and use your abilities to help them?"

"No!" Charles shook his head, his voice cold: "I'm going to find that bastard and get rid of him." ”

As long as the source is solved, those children can be truly saved.

"Do you know where that person is?"

"Hmm."

Charles replied, "Every day, he wastes the money that those children earn, eating the best and living the best." ”

And those children can only starve and freeze.

He silently added in his heart.

This information was all seen in the mind of a child, who happened to be the one who was responsible for collecting the money earned by other children and was responsible for sending money to that person every day.

Eat the best, stay the best?

Eric wondered, "How many children are there?" ”

"Fifty-three."
