This 'old acquaintance' is none other than the mysterious white-collar man from the Hellfire Club who followed Clarice all the way last time and is said to be a core member of the Hellfire Club!

They didn't know Karl's name, but that didn't diminish their jealousy of Karl!

Why is this guy here?

Not to mention that Lorna and they couldn't figure it out, even Clarice, who was half the host, didn't understand why this guy who had brought people to trouble them last time was in her house, and besides, it seemed that she had become a guest of her brother Raymond, and was chatting and laughing with Raymond.

Among them, John's reaction was the most intense, and he subconsciously wanted to find out if there were any weapons around him.

Unlike Lorna and Clarice, John had been betrayed more than once, and he had seen too many mutants betrayed by those closest to him.

His experience taught him never to underestimate the sinister nature of the human heart.

Even if Raymond didn't even betray Clarice's sister, it is very likely that the three of them except Clarice would be used as bargaining chips to trade with each other, which is not impossible.

Besides, they are not related to Raymond, and it is not surprising that Raymond is really going to betray them.

John's reaction, of course, was clearly captured by Raymond, as well as the three of them who were invited by him to leave Richmond before they had time to leave Richmond.

Except for Carl, Red Tank and Butterfly had never met Clariss.

But they also talked about the previous things in the small talk, so it was not difficult for Red Tank and Spirit Butterfly to guess that these little guys were Raymond's sister and her friends.

"Can you use your brain? If I really want to arrest you, why should I invite you to my house? Raymond shook his head and smiled, "Come and sit, don't stand there stupidly-"

As he spoke, Raymond pointed to the empty turf beside him.

Due to the large number of people, Raymond and the others did not specifically move chairs over, and sat directly on the turf in the backyard.

At the moment, there are still a lot of empty seats on the turf, and ten more people will not be crowded.

Hearing Raymond say this, John and the others came back from the initial shock and realized that it was indeed what Raymond said.

If Raymond really wanted to cooperate with the Hellfire Club to do something to them, he really didn't have to call them to his house, and he could find them by following Clarice directly.

After thinking about this, they found a vacant seat with a hint of hesitation.

"Brother, you are ......"

As soon as she sat down, Clarice couldn't help but ask.

She didn't understand why Raymond had come together with the guy who had tried to capture her last time, and invited him to her house for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Although she didn't think Raymond would hurt her, she still couldn't think of a reason.

Before Raymond could respond, Carl on the side had already laughed and said, "What happened last time was a misunderstanding, I didn't expect Miss Clarice that you would actually be Dr. Raymond's sister, if I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have taken the liberty to come and disturb, I'm really sorry." ”

Raymond also smiled slightly at this time: "Carl and I are also old friends, this matter is indeed a misunderstanding, I didn't know that he would suddenly come to Richmond to find you...... Moreover, he doesn't really mean anything towards you, he just wants to invite you to join the Hellfire Club. ”

"If I didn't show up last time, your lives won't be in danger."

Hearing Raymond say this, Clarisse nodded ignorantly, and did not doubt it, because she firmly believed that Raymond would not harm her from beginning to end.

Moreover, this was originally a script for Raymond to make Clarice feel at ease and deal with Carl in advance, at least logically, there must be no big problem.

Suddenly!

Just as Raymond was explaining to Clarice that the last time was a misunderstanding, Sonya, who had just sat down, covered her head and let out a muffled snort-

Sonya's sudden reaction made John stand up suddenly, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Sonya, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, dear?" ”

"Little girl, has no one taught you not to easily probe into other people's consciousness?" Lingdie chuckled at this time, and looked at Sonya who was holding her head with a smile.

"It's you!"

John looked at the butterfly with anger on his face.

Lingdie took the initiative to stand up and take the pot, it would be strange if he didn't understand what the situation was.

Lorna and Clarice also reacted at this time, and at the same time looked at the spirit butterfly with hostile eyes!

Especially Lorna, as soon as her hand was raised, several nails that flew out of nowhere appeared directly in front of the spirit butterfly, no more than a meter away from her, and it looked like it could threaten her at any time!

However, Spirit Butterfly did not feel any nervousness or fear at all because of this scene, but looked at Lorna with interest:

"What a familiar scene, strikingly similar to your father's youth......

"My father?"

Lorna was stunned by Lingdie's words, and subconsciously felt that Lingdie was talking nonsense.

Because her father wasn't a mutant at all, how could she be like her father when he was younger? But before she could open her mouth to refute, her heart suddenly trembled!

Because she suddenly remembered that she was actually adopted, just like Clarice!

This is also the reason why her relationship with Clarice is so good, it is almost like a friend at first sight, because the two are actually very similar in their life trajectories.

They are all adopted, and they are all mutants.

If you want to say something different, it is probably that her ability awakened relatively early, in order not to affect her adoptive parents, she chose to run away from home and wander around by herself, and Clarice's ability has just awakened.

But in any case, she was indeed adopted.

The strange woman in front of her suddenly said that she was strikingly similar to her father when she was young, and she wanted to go back on the spot, but when she remembered her own experience, she hesitated.

However, considering that the strange woman in front of her was currently unknown, she did not immediately believe the other party's words, but retorted stiffly:

"Don't talk nonsense, my father doesn't have any abilities at all!"

"You don't know your background, do you?"

The smile on Lingdie's face became brighter and brighter, as if she had discovered a new continent, and she looked sideways at Red Tank and asked, "You probably haven't heard that he has a daughter, have you?" ”

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything." The Red Tank looked into the distance, noncommittal.

Seeing Red Tank's reaction, the smile on Lingdie's face became brighter, "Bastard? Tsk tsk, I really didn't see it......"

"What the hell did you do to Sonya?!"

Butterfly said it in a fog, but it angered John, who was worried about Sonya's condition.

In the face of the furious John, Lingdie only glanced at him faintly, and then ignored him, with no intention of responding to him at all.

This scene made John even more angry!

It's time to do it.

"John, don't be impulsive, I'm fine, it's my fault......" Sonia was already feeling better at this time, and quickly grabbed John, signaling him not to act impulsively.
