Chapter 337 Red Priest
The red devil walking in front twitched his mouth: Can you two stop conspiring loudly in front of me?
Also, who looks ugly?
You are the one who is ugly, your whole family is ugly - with the Red Devil's aesthetics, he even hates normal-looking mutants, and only likes weird-looking women, such as Mystique.
——Probably like Drax saying that Mantis is incredibly ugly.
The Red Devil led Bai Ye and Lorna to the room of White Queen Emma Frost and knocked on the door: "Ms. Emma, your guest has arrived."
"Please come in."
Bai Ye and Lorna walked into the room and saw the White Queen dressed sexy and enchanting.
She wore a piece of gauze as white as alabaster, but it could only cover the big European style. Her lower body was made of white leather pants, and the material seemed as light as clouds.
It seemed like just a gentle tug could strip her naked.
In fact, her dress is made of a special material that looks fragile but is actually extremely tough. It is like ice crystals under the moonlight, shining with a soft and mysterious light.
She wore a delicate necklace around her neck. The necklace was made of sterling silver. The pendant was a diamond shaped like a crescent moon. It was crystal clear and shone with cold light, like a crescent moon in the night sky.
As for the choice of shoes, she wore a pair of equally pure white high-heeled shoes. The uppers were inlaid with the same crystals as the skirt, like stars.
Her facial features are as flawless as those of a porcelain doll, and her elegant makeup highlights her natural beauty. The lips are painted with light pink lipstick, which makes her look pure and yet feminine.
It can be said that Bai Ye doesn't need to use clairvoyance eyes to peek. Standing in front of her is enough for Bai Ye to stand up.
The White Queen seemed to be at work, chatting with an old South American man about cooperation.
"Ah, there are so many things and I'm so busy. I almost forgot. I invited Master Osborne and Miss Lorna, but I didn't come out to greet them in person. Please forgive me."
The White Queen quickly stood up with an annoyed look on her face, came forward, and shook hands with Bai Ye and Lorna.
"You're welcome, I've never been constrained by vulgar etiquette. Since Ms. Emma, you have something serious to do, then it's important." Bai Ye smiled softly.
"Ms. Emma, since you have distinguished guests to receive, shall we discuss our cooperation here for now?" the old South American man said with a gentle smile.
"Okay, Costa, we'll talk when we have time later." The White Queen nodded.
The old South American man stood up, came to Bai Ye's side, and handed over a business card with a smile, and said: "Master Osborne, I have been friends with you for a long time. This is my business card. If you have anything to do with me in Brazil in the future, , you can call this number, maybe I can help Master Osborne a little bit?"
Bai Ye glanced at the business card: Emmanuel da Costa.
He raised his eyebrows, probably knowing who this old South American man was.
He is the father of Roberto da Costa, the richest man in Brazil. He is very rich and can be said to be the Stark family of Brazil.
Even Bai Ye knew this name before, but he just never met him.
"The richest man in Brazil, the Costa family? It seems that the Hellfire Club is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." Bai Ye accepted the business card and said with a smile.
"Master Osborne, you are joking. The Costa family cannot be compared with Osborne." Costa said modestly.
"Mr. Costa, he is now the White Chariot of the Hellfire Club." The White Queen added next to her. Since Bai Ye knew about the Costa family, she didn't need to say too much.
Bai Ye and Costa exchanged business cards, and the old man left with satisfaction.
The biggest benefit of joining the Hellfire Club for an ordinary person like Costa is that he can communicate with social elites and celebrities from all over the world and form a network. When things happen, as long as they are willing to pay the price, they can help each other.
The scary thing in this world is that you don’t know how to buy your own life even with money, so you can only let others slaughter you.
"Ms. Emma, I'll take my leave then," the red devil said.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Azazel." The White Queen nodded.
Only Bai Ye and three people were left in the room.
The White Queen turned around, looked at Lorna looking up and down, and smiled: "It's so similar! To be honest, Lorna, I have worked with your father for a long time..."
She looked at Lorna's slightly frowning brows and changed her subject: "But he is too willful and willful. Very few people like him. If it weren't for his powerful strength, where would the Mutant Brotherhood have gotten his turn?" Be the leader.”
"Lorna, when you grow up, you may be more suitable for the position of leader of the Mutant Brotherhood than that old guy."
As she spoke, the White Queen was also doubtful in her heart.
She didn't want to use her telepathic ability to invade Bai Ye and Lorna's brains. Osborn's technological strength was advanced and he might find a flaw. Lorna was Magneto's daughter, so she didn't want to fall out with Magneto either. But her ability is too strong. Even if she doesn't take the initiative to use it, she can still feel other people's emotional fluctuations, so it's not easy for her to PUA others.
But now her ability seems to be ineffective on Lorna and Bai Ye.
She even had to watch her words before speaking...
She almost couldn't fix it.
"I don't have that big ambition." Lorna said: "I just want to protect my friends from harm. The conflict between mutants and humans is too far away from me."
"Sooner or later!" The White Queen sighed and said: "Lorna, to put it bluntly, you may hate Eric for abandoning his wife and daughter, think he is a complete bastard, and don't want to have anything to do with him. , but you are so similar to him in your bones, once you see the true situation of mutants, you will definitely follow the same path as Eric."
"It's ridiculous! Charles also wants to recruit you to enter Xavier Academy and become a member of the X-Men. He is still so naive. With your character, you must be a wolf, and you will never become a sheep of Xavier Academy."
"Not necessarily." Lorna glanced at Bai Ye and said: "The government has found a special mutant leech that can turn mutants into ordinary people. I think it would be better for less perfect mutants to eat the leech." Taking medicine and becoming an ordinary person may not be a good choice, but there are no such large-scale mutants. Perhaps the conflict between mutants and humans will naturally be resolved. After all, there are superheroes and super villains in this world. ."
Under Bai Ye's influence, Lorna felt that Bai Ye was right. Some weak and weird mutants actually didn't like this kind of mutation and tried desperately to get rid of this fate. Some of her friends were like this. In the past, She still doesn't understand, and thinks that the established destiny cannot be changed, and it is stupid to moan without reason. Now she probably understands - no one wants to control their own destiny.
Many mutants do not want Xavier Academy and the Brotherhood of Mutants to make decisions for them and ruin their wish to become ordinary people, because being mutants does not do them any good. Not everyone can be like X-Men. Like a police officer, he gains almost perfect mutant abilities.
Turning many non-perfectly mutated mutants into ordinary people is great news for them, but it is absolutely bad news for advanced mutants, because it greatly weakens the ability they can control. Power, without the subordinates to rely on, can only be a lone ranger - no one wants to be a superior person.
Xavier Academy and the Brotherhood of Mutants have a positive significance in the issue of racial conflicts between mutants and ordinary humans, but on the other hand, are they not stinking vested interests?
At least, when Bai Ye asked Lorna to choose between becoming a mutant like the Red Devil and an ordinary person, she would definitely choose to be an ordinary person without hesitation. If she turned into a ghost like the Red Devil, she might as well die. Forget it!
[Red Devil:? ? ? 】
White Queen: "..."
Before that, she had also investigated Lorna's information and found that she was a little girl with extreme ideas. How could she become even weaker than Professor X Charles after a few days?
Xavier College firmly resists leeches and antidotes.
"Lorna, what you said makes sense. Can't you tell that you are still a philosopher and can analyze things in such a profound way?" The White Queen smiled and said: "But the leech matter is still too far away after all. For the time being, Too lazy to bother. How about we get down to business?"
She said seriously: "Lorna, I wonder if you are interested in joining the Hellfire Club or becoming my student?"
"student?"
Lorna looked at the White Queen in surprise.
"Yeah, didn't you expect that? The Hellfire Club has a Hellfire Academy, which recruits young mutant students to help them master their own abilities, and I am the dean of the school." The White Queen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "In fact, compared to the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, I prefer to devote myself to mutant education and serve as the principal of Hellfire Academy."
"Of course, Lorna, you are definitely different from those troublemakers. You will be my true apprentice and the one who will inherit all my careers."
Bai Ye was a little surprised. It was obvious that the White Queen was so willing to spend so much money to actually let Lorna be her true disciple. If the White Queen's middle path collapsed, wouldn't Lorna have to inherit her billions of dollars of family property?
"Hellfire Academy, Troublemaker..."
Bai Ye had heard that the White Queen opened a mutant academy in Massachusetts, and the elite students there formed a superhero team called the Troublemaker Legion.
Lorna couldn't make a decision for a moment, so she looked at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye gave Lorna an encouraging look: Just make your own decision.
Lorna always needs to grow up, and it is impossible for Bai Ye to always decide everything for her.
"It's okay to join the Hellfire Club. Brother Baiye and I have already discussed this matter, but about becoming your student, Ms. Emma, can you give me some time to think about it carefully before we talk about it?" Lorna got Bai Ye encouraged, took a deep breath, and said to the White Queen.
"Of course it's no problem." The White Queen said as if she understood you: "This kind of thing is based on your own will. Can I still force Lorna to do it?"
"Welcome Lorna, join the Hellfire Club, we will be a family from now on." She looked at Bai Ye: "Master Osborne, Lorna has joined the Hellfire Club, are you interested?"
"Me?" Bai Ye shook his head and smiled, and said: "I am a person who has no habit of being inferior to others. If you ask me to join the Hellfire Club, Emma, are you going to ask the Black Emperor to give way to me, or the White Emperor? "
White Queen: "..."
Damn it, you really dare to say that.
Black Heart and Hellstorm are both sons of the Dimension Demon God, with backgrounds reaching into the sky. Do you want them to give way to you? Based on your identity and background as the son of a rich man in the world, I'm afraid you are not qualified.
Following the Red Devil's proposal, she was rejected again.
The White Queen shut up and stopped mentioning Bai Ye joining the Hellfire Club. After the greetings, she was led by Bai Ye and Lorna to attend the upcoming party.
"It seems that this young master Osborne is not an ordinary rebellious person." Not long after Bai Ye and the others went out, the red devil appeared in the White Queen's office with a bang. He was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine. , laughed strangely and said: "Yes, after all, I am one of the four giants of the Avengers, why should I come to this Hellfire Club to be a junior?"
"Osborn's technological strength is very strong, and he has the ability to transform ordinary people into powerful extraordinary beings. If we can drag this young master into hellfire, it will be of great significance to us, but it is a pity..." The White Queen sighed Tone: "This young master doesn't want to give in, we can't really let those two make way for him, right?"
"Black Superman might not be too bad, he..." Red Devil shook his head.
The White Queen frowned and said, "But this Young Master Osborne gives me a very unusual feeling."
He took a sip of red wine and said, "Why is it different? I know, his physical body has also been strengthened, and he also has a nano-scale steel armor, right?"
"That's not the feeling." The White Queen shook her head and said, "It was just now that he and Lorna seemed to be immune to my telepathic ability. I wanted to test it further, but somewhere... I took back this idea."
She sighed softly: "It would be great if this young master Osborne could be stronger and comparable to the four of us. Hellfire would not be able to make an exception and give him a title that is equal to ours. After all, in recent years, more and more powerful people have emerged from the corner, and the sixteen core titles are too few to meet our needs of recruiting a large number of talents. Hellfire should also make some changes to adapt to the times."
The red devil said in surprise: "Have you, the four emperors, discussed these things? So if he really reaches the level of strength, what title do you plan to give him?"
The White Queen said: "For example... the red priest."
