Chapter 222: Confrontation! (Happy New Year~~)
Level 4 mutants are not cabbages either, and one can pop up casually.
The appearance of long-range shots is already bizarre, how can it be possible that unknown powerful mutants have popped up one after another?
The X-Men have also been collecting new mutants everywhere over the years, but they are basically newcomers, and they can rarely absorb mutants above level three, let alone level four.
Probably seeing that Oloro didn't believe it, the sage added, "It's true, he was personally found by Red Tank and Spirit Butterfly, and he was publicly challenged by Long-range Shot at the year-end party, but in the end, Long-range Shot was defeated." β
Hearing what the sage said, Oloro had to accept this reality, and asked in amazement:
"And what is the origin of this black bishop, have you figured it out?"
"He can manipulate lava, and he's not afraid of normal physical attacks, and he has the ability to attack in a wide area, and Costa has codenamed him 'Lava Tyrant,' which I think is quite appropriate......," Sage explains.
Who Costa is is not to be introduced too much by the sages.
The only ordinary person in the Hellfire Club, and with a higher status than the Sage, it's hard not to remember him.
The X-Men, on their part, also tried to absorb Costa's son Sunspot, but because Costa always disagreed, it was not successful.
Unexpectedly, the Hellfire Club actually found another way to absorb their father and son in the way of absorbing Costa, which surprised many people.
At this point, Sage told Oloro some information about Raymond's face, including his name, identity, and suspicion of schizophrenia.
"'Lava Tyrant' Raymond, is it stronger than a long-range shot......" Oloro repeated to himself.
Looking at Oloro who was lost in thought, the sage was actually a little uneasy in his heart.
Because she didn't tell the truth to Oloro completely, the information she said about Raymond was all on the surface.
She believed that with the intelligence channels on the X-Men's side, these things could be found out with a little investigation.
The Hellfire Club is not an airtight organization after all, and most things cannot be completely kept secret except for a very few secrets.
In fact, it's not just the Hellfire Club.
No organization of any size can have an absolutely secret existence, including the X-Men.
Raymond's duel with long-range shooting that day, but a large number of people saw it, and this kind of thing is difficult to keep secret.
And it's easy to be used as a talking point to talk to people casually, and it's not too easy for the outside world to find out.
Therefore, the information that the sage told Oloro was not important in the first place.
The really valuable information for the X-Men should actually be the professor who appeared with Raymond.
Professor to also made his attitude very clear in front of the sage, he will lead the mutants in his own way, and this also means that Professor to will inevitably go to the opposite side of Professor X and clash with him.
What is the outcome of the battle of ideas, just look at Professor X and his good friend Magneto.
At that time, the existence of Professor to may be more troublesome for the X-Men than the Mutant Brotherhood, because no one will know Professor X better than Professor To.
Sage should have told Oloro about this, so that Professor X, and Oloro, the main members of the X-Men, could prepare in advance.
However, she chose to remain silent.
Whatever the purpose, her choice not to say it is itself equivalent to making a choice to some extent.
"Is there a way to get involved?" After thinking for a moment, Oloro asked again.
"Of course there is a way, our Miss Tessa is very charming......" The sneering voice suddenly came, startling both Sage and Oloro.
Neither of them expected that there would be other people at this time.
"Costa?"
The sage immediately heard who was speaking, and his face changed sharply!
It's no coincidence that Costa would be here at this time and didn't even say hello to her in advance.
Sure enough, as soon as Costa finished speaking, he walked out of the hallway.
He was joined by his son Sunspot, as well as Emma the White Queen and the White Chariot Emperor.
Seeing Costa and the others suddenly appear, both Sage and Ororo realized that something was wrong.
Obviously, these people didn't appear here occasionally, most of them saw that there was something wrong with the sage in advance, and they appeared at this time, just to catch the sage.
"Miss Tessa wants to explain?" Costapi asked, smiling at the sage.
"Explain? What to explain? The sage said in a deep voice.
"Explain why the X-Men are in your house, of course." Costa said as a matter of course, "Miss Tessa, you don't think we don't know the famous Storm Girl, do you?" β
"It's true that Ororo is an X-Men, but she's also my friend, which club rule says you can't be friends with X-Men?" Sage asked rhetorically.
"Friends?"
Costa smiled dumbly, "It's true that there are no such rules in the club, and if Miss Tessa and Storm really only have a personal relationship, it won't be a ......."
"But, you don't really think that you can fool around with this excuse at this time, do you?"
"Miss Tessa must have a clear file in your mind about the club's past, so you should know that no one will casually suspect a core member if you are not sure."
"But once someone is suspected, it is definitely not for nothing, I suggest to you, Miss Tessa, in my personal capacity, that it is better not to take chances."
"If you are willing to be honest about the problem, and have the will to correct your mistakes, I can swear by my honor that I will help Miss Tessa and ask for everyone's forgiveness, and you will still be your own person when the time comes."
"But if you refuse to cooperate, I don't need to tell you the way the club behaves, right?"
The sage's face sank like water, and he said in a deep voice, "I said that Ororo is just my friend, and I can't help it if you don't believe me, but now, please leave my house!" β
Costa glanced sideways at Emma and shrugged at her, indicating that he had nothing to say.
Emma said lightly at this time: "You have two choices now, either let me thoroughly check your memory, if it is really okay, we will give you enough compensation to apologize......
"Or, resist to the end."
"The choice is yours, give you a minute to think through-"
Emma's words were already very fruitful, and they were also very polite, far less tactful than Costa's attitude.
Clearly, they had decided that there must be something wrong with the sage and did not believe her at all.
Sage herself actually knows that there is no point in talking about rules at this time, because she does have a problem.
If she really just had a personal relationship with Oloro, it was indeed not against the rules of the Hellfire Club, and she could rest assured that Emma would test it.
However, she first joined the Hellfire Club with a mission.
This has undoubtedly crossed the bottom line.
Although the Hellfire Club is a relatively loose organization as a whole, with no core goals and directions, it is absolutely not allowed to have such a thing as undercover, especially undercover agents who have malicious intentions from the beginning!
Sage was sent by Professor **, and as we all know, Professor X has always had a very bad relationship with the brothers Red Tank.
Professor X sent Sage to go undercover, of course, in preparation for the future if he confronted the Red Tank.
In this case, how could Sage let Emma, the White Queen, check his memory?
Because she knows very well that the result of the inspection must be a reversal.
She glanced at Oloro and found that Oloro's face was also very ugly, and she was on guard.
"If there is a fight, I will try my best to hold them back, you run first......" Oloro said in a low voice.
Hearing Oloro's words, the sage couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.
She knew that Oloro should really plan to drag Emma and them alone to give her a chance to escape.
However, she also knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for Oloro to hold back the few people on the other side.
Although the current Oloro is also a fourth-level mutant, and his strength is enough to rank in the top three in the X-Men, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to drag the other few people alone.
Just a card king is no longer weaker than Oloro, not to mention that there is a white queen Emma who is already much stronger than Oloro.
Coupled with the sunspots whose strength is also very close to level four, Oloro is afraid that he will not be able to drag on for even a minute.
In a minute, will she be able to escape?
She has a good idea of her own combat power, and she can bully ordinary people like Costa, if she really fights, she can't help anything.
"What to do......" Sage clenched his fists.
Time passed bit by bit, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger!
The King of Cards already has an extra deck of metal playing cards in his hand, turning and playing with his fingertips.
But with Sage's knowledge of this 'former companion', he should not just be playing cards, but already empowering this deck of cards in advance.
Once the fight starts, this deck of cards in his hand will become the deadliest weapon!
Costa had already taken a step back by this time, allowing his son Sunspot to walk in front of him and block him out.
Sunspots, who look no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, look extremely excited at this time, and have a feeling of eagerness to try!
Sage knew that Sunspot was a kid who had always wanted a chance to play against some mutants outside the club, but he had been stopped by Costa.
This time, it is estimated that he was brought with the intention of exercising him.
In the past, Sage would probably have thought the father and son were amusement, and might have made a joke.
However, at this time, there was a hostile relationship between them, and she still had the mood to ridicule.
"Ten!"
Emma began to count down after white.
The sage's heart also sank with a 'pop'!
"Nine, Eight, Seven......"
Oloro's hands were already slightly open, and the air in the room had begun to flow faster!
A layer of dark golden flames had already risen on the sunspot on the opposite side, and it was hard to hide the excitement!
The speed of playing poker with the fingertips of the card king also accelerated, but there was no other move, and he was more calm.
"Wait!"
Sage suddenly raised his eyebrows, and after the dialogue, Emma said, "I can let you check, but if I'm really okay, I need you to apologize to me and my friends!" β
Well?
The first thing that sages said was a little strange was Costa, who was in charge of communicating with her in the first place.
He was presiding over this matter, and he was very sure that there must be something wrong with the sage.
In his opinion, it is impossible for Sage to accept Emma's examination after the white queen anyway, because it is better to do it directly than to turn his face after the examination.
Coupled with Sage's previous reaction, it was also completely in line with his previous expectations, making him more and more sure.
However, at this time, Sage suddenly changed his mind and decided to take the initiative to be examined by Emma, the white queen.
This was undoubtedly somewhat unexpected by Costa.
Not to mention him, even Oloro was confused by the sage's decision, and said in a low voice:
"Tessa, don't mess around!"
"It's okay." Sage shook his head, motioning for Ororo to believe her.
Seeing this, Emma also looked at Costa and Pai Huang behind her, wanting to hear their opinions.
Costa shrugged and said he was okay.
Pai Huang asked in a low voice, "With Professor X's ability, can it affect your examination?" β
Emma shook her head slightly and said, "His mental ability is indeed stronger than mine, but it is not strong enough to this extent, even if he really does something, I can detect it." β
"That's fine." Pai Huang said he understood.
Seeing that the two of them had no opinion, Emma looked at Sage again and said, "Yes, if you are really okay, we will sincerely apologize to you and your friends." β
"So...... Come on! The sage closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Emma no longer hesitated, and also closed her eyes.
At the same time, she has begun to invade the sage's psychic worldβ
During this time, the atmosphere is still very tense!
Oloro was ready to turn her face at any moment, and if Sage showed any resistance, she would do it immediately.
Pai Wang and Sunspot are also ready to attack, and they are also worried that Oloro will suddenly attack.
Both sides are in a state of tension!
A few minutes later, Sage was the first to open his eyes.
"Are you alright?" Oloro hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, don't worry." Sage smiled at her, signaling her to reassure.
Immediately after, Emma also opened her eyes.
"I'm sorry, we were reckless this time." As soon as she opened her eyes, Emma took the initiative to apologize.
As soon as they saw that Emma took the initiative to apologize after the white queen, they immediately reacted, and Emma should not have noticed anything wrong with the sage, so she took the initiative to apologize.
This is also the request that the sage made before.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
But Emma apologized, and they had no reason to insist any longer, so they took the initiative to apologize.
"Now, you can leave!"
The sage said with a cold face.
She didn't give Emma any good looks to them, even though they had apologized.
Emma didn't say anything, turned her head and left first.
"I'm sorry, Tessa-"
Pai Huang apologized again before leaving, and said a little embarrassed.
But the sage ignored him.
Costa gave her a deep look and didn't apologize like the Emperor.
His eyes seemed to say, I know you have a problem, you can't fool me.
However, Emma said that there was no problem, and he was obviously helpless for the time being.
It is impossible for the club to make a move against a core member because of suspicion, otherwise the other core members will definitely rebound in an all-round way, and then the fun will be great.
