"What do you mean, Mr. Raymond?" John was slightly stunned.

"Literally." Raymond said calmly, "If you encounter today's situation again, do you think you rookies can protect her?" In other words, if any of them are in trouble like today, how can your organization help? ”

"To be honest, I don't see any need for her to mix with you, a group of rookies who can't protect themselves, even if they form a group, they can't solve any problems......"

"Brother! How can you talk like that? Clarice was in a hurry.

"Shut up, I haven't settled your account with you yet!" Raymond glared at her.

As soon as Clarice heard Raymond talk about his account, she immediately wilted.

However, Clarice wilted, but Lorna couldn't sit still, and said unconvinced: "This time it was that guy who played tricks, and Klee's ability was suddenly unstable, so we would be so passive, if we were a little more vigilant, this would never happen." ”

"You think so, too?" Raymond looked at Clarice.

Clarice didn't answer.

But from her expression, Raymond could tell that she should think the same way.

Raymond shook his head and asked, "Hellfire Club, have you ever heard of that name?" ”

Hearing the name, Clarice and Lorna were at a loss, apparently hearing the name for the first time, while Sonia frowned slightly, as if she was recalling something.

Only John, his expression changed suddenly.

"Looks like you do." Raymond looked at him.

"I once heard an older mutant mention that it is said to be the oldest mutant organization in existence, much earlier than the Mutant Brotherhood and the X-Men......," John said.

"It turned out to be that organization!"

Sonia also seemed to remember something, and immediately reacted, "Mr. Raymond, you mean, those people just now are from the Hellfire Club?" ”

"Not bad." Raymond nodded slightly.

Hearing Raymond's confirmation, John's heart sank!

Unlike Lorna, although Lorna has also awakened her abilities for a long time, it wasn't until she joined the mutant underground organization that she stepped into this circle for the first time, and she didn't know much about mutants.

But John had been in the circle much earlier than she had been, and knew how terrifying it must be for a mutant organization like the Hellfire Club, which is widely recognized as the most mysterious and oldest of all.

The mutant underground organization he led may not even rank third among the many mutant organizations.

How big is the gap between the two, and how can he not count?

However, John's side knew that the situation was not good, but Lorna, who was not aware of the background of the Hellfire Club, was still unconvinced, "What about the long history of existence?" I don't think that guy is very powerful, that is, the turtle shell is a little harder, I don't believe he is really invincible! ”

"Of course he is not invincible, and it is impossible for any ability to be without flaws." Raymond Road.

"That's it, what are we afraid of!" Lorna saw that Raymond echoed her, and she was more confident.

"Little girl, you don't think that one is the boss of the Hellfire Club just now, do you?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head.

"Isn't it?" Lorna was stunned.

"Theoretically, there should be sixteen core members of the Hellfire Club, and that guy just now is just one of them, and he is still a relatively weak one......" Raymond told the truth.

There's really nothing wrong with that.

Since the Hellfire Club is titled as the chess piece, it is naturally sorted according to the rules of chess, and Carl, the 'Black Knight', may only be ranked at the end of the core members of the Hellfire Club.

"How is this possible?!" Lorna, however, was struck by this statement.

Although she was very unhappy with the guy just now, she also had to admit that the other party's ability was indeed very powerful, even if she and John were alone, she could be at ease.

You know, she and John are already the strongest combat power in the mutant underground organization, and although there are some members of the other members who have a little combat power, they are far from being able to compare with the two of them.

So, to put it another way, that guy was able to pick the mutant underground organization alone.

However, such a powerful mutant is actually only one of the sixteen core members of the Hellfire Club, and he is also one of the weaker ones?

How powerful should the other core members be?

If this is true, how terrifying must this organization be with so many powerful mutants?

This kind of unimaginable thing made Lorna feel a little unreal.

But when she looked at John, she found that John did not refute Raymond, but fell into silence, his face heavy.

Seeing John's reaction, Lorna was somewhat convinced that what Raymond said might be true.

What she didn't know was that John didn't know if what Raymond was saying was 100% true, because he didn't know that there were sixteen core members of the Hellfire Club or something.

But when Raymond said this, he was not surprised at all.

Because only such a strong organization can explain why it can be hundreds of years old.

It is an indisputable fact that the history of mutants is a history of humiliation.

Even the two giants today can only hide in Tibet most of the time, or they are false and wrong, and they have to be people with their tails between their legs.

A mutant organization, without strong enough strength, cannot last for hundreds of years, and it has been exterminated many times ago.

However, John was not a man without responsibility.

He wouldn't dare to confront him just because he knew that the other party was a behemoth like the Hellfire Club, and even if Carl had reported himself before, he wouldn't have given up his companions.

But at this time, in the face of Raymond's family's doubts, he couldn't deceive himself.

"I'll admit that my strength against the Hellfire Club is really nothing...... But I won't give up on Clarice no matter what, because she's my companion! John said in a deep voice.

"Me too!" Lorna, who had recovered from the shock, echoed.

Although Sonia didn't say anything, she was also resolute!

Seeing the serious looks of several people, Raymond really wanted to say, the Hellfire Club is only here to recruit people, not to kill people, what are you doing with death as if you were home?

But pouring cold water at this time seems to be a bit too much of a slap in the face, so don't be so cruel......

Thinking of this, he still looked at Clarice with a straight face and asked, "Are you sure you want to continue messing around with them?" This is the last time I'll ask you this question, and I'll talk about it when you're ready! ”

Clarice looked struggling, but finally nodded and said: "I haven't made any important decisions since I was a child, please let me be willful once this time, brother, please!" ”

"Hopefully you won't regret it." Raymond gave her a deep look.

Then he said no more, turned around and walked back to the car.

After getting in the car, he pressed the glass to reveal a slit, looked at her and said, "Come back early in the evening, don't play too late, and ...... Don't worry about the Hellfire Club, just have fun. ”

Before the words fell, the car had already started, and it was far away in an instant-

Only a few people were left with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
