For Raymond, whether it's superheroes, villains, or antiheroes like David and Lorna, it's essentially no different, and they're all objects that can be bedded.

As long as there is contact, he can comforted them with exploration value in the open.

So he's not afraid of trouble, especially if you have a chance to get more exploration points like this, it's okay to have a little more.

The more the merrier.

The thought of finding another 'fat sheep' tomorrow made him feel even better, and even the previous unhappiness caused by Clarice having joined the street fighting organization was swept away.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why he did not forcibly cut off the connection between Clarice and John in the end was not really moved by Clarice's inner monologue.

Mainly because he suddenly realized when he saw the appearance of Carl, the absorber, that Clarice, who had awakened her powers, couldn't really stay at home forever and be a good girl.

Without the mutant underground, there would be a Hellfire Club, and without a Hellfire Club there would be other organizations.

This world, which seems to be calm for the time being, is always surging undercurrent.

He wanted to cut Clarice off from the otherworld, and it would be too difficult for him to keep her at home and not let her go.

Since it is difficult to stop it no matter what, then why should he be this wicked man?

There is nothing wrong with keeping Clarice in the mutant underground organization at least in the general direction, and, even if something goes wrong, like this one, it is probably still within his control.

It's hard to say what would have evolved into joining some of the more extreme groups.

So Raymond finally decided not to meddle in this matter.

"Anyway, I don't know who the Black Emperor is......" After putting Clarice's matter aside for a while, Raymond's attention couldn't help but shift to tomorrow's meeting.

This time, he really didn't have a clue.

Although the general context of this world is somewhat similar to several popular Marvel parallel universes that he knows, there are many differences in details.

Just like Carl, the absorber I just met, in those popular Marvel parallel universes, he was either a magic horse boy created by Loki, and was created by Loki to deal with Thor; Either that, the Inhumans who were subdued by Hydra and loyally worked for Hydra.

But it seems that there is no parallel universe where he is a member of the Hellfire Club, and he is also one of the core members.

Carl alone was enough to prove that the Hellfire Club in this world was very different from what he knew, and it was impossible for him to infer more information based on what he knew.

However, this feeling of uncertainty made him look forward to tomorrow's meeting even more.

*********

Outside Richmond International Airport.

Carl, a white-collar worker in a suit, was standing next to a trash can, smoking a cigar and casually scrolling through his phone.

At this moment, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, which startled him.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a burly man standing behind me who was more than two meters tall, wearing a white suit, like an iron tower!

If Leonid, the head of the War Academy who fought with Raymond, was here, he would probably wonder if his nickname was wrong, because this person was obviously much more like a polar bear than him.

At least that's the case in terms of size.

Next to him stood a graceful woman in a tight black leather skirt, who was looking at Karl with a smile and said, "Tut-tut...... Carl, I heard that this time I suffered a loss? ”

"Lord Betsy, why are you here too?" Seeing the appearance of the curvaceous woman, Carl was very surprised.

Because this curvaceous woman is none other than the core member of the Hellfire Club with the title of 'Black Queen', the titular partner of 'Black Emperor'.

As for the tower-like burly man, he was naturally the Black Emperor.

It should be noted that whether it is the Black Emperor and the Black Queen, or the White Emperor and the White Queen, the actual relationship between them is actually just a partner, not necessarily a spouse.

Although there have been many examples of partners getting together in the history of the Hellfire Club, it is not a common practice.

Therefore, these two can basically be regarded as the big boss and the second boss of the Hellfire Club.

Carl was surprised to see both of them appear at the same time.

Previously, the Black Emperor only said that he would come over, but he didn't expect that even the Black Queen, who rarely came to North America, would come with him.

"She happened to come to my side to find me for something, and after hearing about the situation on your side, she has to come with me to have a look......" The Black Emperor saw Karl's surprise and spread his hands.

"Why, don't you welcome me?" The curvaceous woman pouted.

"How is that possible, it's my honor for you to come, Lord Betsy." Karl hurriedly denied it.

is also a core member of the Hellfire Club, even if Carl's status is far inferior to the two in front of him, he will not grovel.

But women, who are particularly vengeful creatures, are often the least to provoke, especially a powerful woman like the black queen in front of them.

He didn't want to be hated by the Black Queen for a little thing.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's find a place to eat first, the things on the plane are so bad that I haven't even eaten breakfast." The curvaceous woman suggested.

"Hmm." The Black Emperor also bowed slightly.

"Over here, my car is parked right next to it—"

Carl, of course, had no opinion, and led the way for the two of them in front.

……

Afternoon.

When Raymond receives a call from Carl, he drives alone to a park outside Richmond.

He wasn't afraid of any tricks Carl would have played, and the Hellfire Club wouldn't have been able to stand still if it didn't have that credibility.

What's more, he doesn't have a deep grudge against the Hellfire Club, even if he weighs the pros and cons, it is impossible for the other party to give up this opportunity to turn enemies into friends.

Unless the talks fall apart, that's another story.

But even if he really didn't talk about turning his face, Raymond didn't feel that he should be worried, and he was even ready to switch to Taobaibai's deputy personality and kill him as soon as he really turned his face.

"Huh? Three people? ”

Raymond, who came according to the agreed place, saw Carl's figure from a distance.

At the same time, he noticed that Carl had brought more than one person, in addition to the burly man who did not talk like a man, there was also a curvaceous woman who looked to be about thirty years old.

At the same time, a hint appeared in his mind:

"Ding-dong—"

"You've met the S-class 'villain' Cain Marco, +100 exploration value"

……

"Ding-dong—"

"You've met A-rank 'villain' Betsy Braddock, +50 Exploration Points"
