Chapter 64: Reaction
Late at night, when the children were asleep, Mike pulled out a phone number, hesitated for a few seconds, and then pulled out a space movement card.
The figure flashed and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already at a public phone booth in New York.
Looking at the number, Mike smiled helplessly and called firmly.
It's been a long time since he's meddling in this mess, but to find out where Raven is now, he'll have to find some old connections.
The phone rang for a long time, and just as Mike decided to talk to the other party face-to-face if the call didn't go through, a somewhat unexpected voice rang.
"Mike?"
"Sloane."
Silence x2.
"Hah!" Sloan laughed, broke the silence, and said, "Why are you calling at this time?" If we want to reminisce about the past, we can make an appointment with a new place and a time. β
"Raven."
In the face of Sloane's ridicule, Mike just said a name lightly.
Sloan chuckled and said, "You already knew she was a mutant?" β
Mike didn't answer, but said coldly: "The place where she is being held, give it to me tomorrow at twelve o'clock at noon." β
Sloane's eyes sank, and he said, "What do you think ......?"
"If you talk nonsense, I'll kill you."
After a few seconds of silence, Sloan said coldly, "Got it!" β
As the words fell, Sloan hung up the phone.
A teleportation card appears between Mike's fingers, and when it dissipates as a point of light, Mike disappears.
Back at home, Mike helps Charles and Eric fold the quilt, then returns to his room and starts making cards.
Perhaps, a lot of inventory will be consumed.
β¦β¦
In the dark room, a little scarlet light appeared in Raven's field of vision with the sound of the door opening.
Raven, who was bound hand and foot, slowly raised her head, her amber eyes shrank slightly, reflecting the person's appearance.
A well-cut tuxedo, a tall body, and a mysterious smile hanging on the face.
Raven looked at the other with no movement in her eyes, and it wasn't until the man looked at her with object-like eyes that anger began to appear in her eyes.
"I like the way you look now, it looks more perfect."
The man whispered, as if he had seen a treasure.
"You're disgusting!"
Raven said coldly.
The man smiled disapprerovingly, sat down across from Raven, and introduced himself, "I'm Essex, you may have heard of me." β
Essex!
BolΓvar Teslac is working for him, is he experimenting with mutants?
"You lunatic!"
Ruiwen's whole body tensed and said coldly.
Mr. Horror looked at Raven quietly, admiring Raven's current expression, as if he was looking at a female leopard in a cage in a zoo.
At this moment, Raven, who was tied with her hands and feet tied, stood up violently and pounced on Mr. Evil opposite.
Mr. Horror's eyes flashed, and an invisible force froze Raven in place.
"Don't get excited, sit ......"
Mr. Disgust smiled, and with a slight touch of his palm, Raven was pressed against the chair by an irresistible force.
"You're a mutant too?"
"Obviously, beautiful lady."
"You're damned!"
Instead of being angry, Mr. Horror smiled and said, "I don't seem to be so easy to die." β
Raven looked at each other and snorted coldly.
"We've got the news out of your capture, and now everyone, everyone in the whole world knows you've been captured, Raven of the Hellfire Club."
Raven's eyes shrank, and her heart was shrouded in a dark cloud.
Noticing the change in Raven's expression, Dr. Disgust smiled faintly and said, "You say, what will Hellfire do?" Will they come to your rescue? β
Pitfall?
Ruiwen was shocked, but laughed disdainfully, and said, "Don't bother in vain, do you think they will come to save me?" β
"Don't you save it?" The Doctor of Horror sighed and said, "You're pitiful, but it's not a loss to me." β
He propped his hands on the table, put his chin on the back of his hand, and looked at Raven playfully: "If the Black Emperor and the Hellfire Club don't come to save you, it seems that they will lose the trust of many people." β
If she, a 'hero' who is active in the mutant community and has saved a lot of mutants, is caught, but the Hellfire Club ignores it and gives up like this, many mutants will question the Hellfire Club and wonder if such a Hellfire is still worth relying on.
Raven's heart sank, but she learned the actions of the Doctor of Disgust, put her chin down on the back of her hand, looked at the other party with a smile, and said, "This is definitely better than falling into your trap." β
"Yes, it's a very sensible choice, but ...... Won't you be disappointed? β
"Disappointed? I'm sorry, not at all. β
Raven was still smiling, but there was a hint of bitterness in her heart.
She knew the right choice not to save her, but she still couldn't help but be disappointed.
And...... Thinking of the current Black Emperor, Raven smiled bitterly.
It really doesn't seem to come to save her.
"It's a shame." Mr. Horror sighed and said, "The trap I set may be useless." β
"Why did you do that?" Raven stared at Mr. Horror and said, "Aren't you a mutant?"
Whether it's going against Hellfire right now, or supporting the Sentinel Project, nothing like this will do the mutant community any good.
"Mutants...... Sort of. Mr. Disgust said vaguely, "As for why?" Guess what. β
Mr. Disgust smiled playfully, and then grabbed Raven's hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and the invisible power of the mind surged towards Raven's mind along the place where the two touched.
"Hellfire Club, what powerful mutants are there, and what abilities do they have?"
Rui Wen's eyes flickered, and said, "Black Emperor, White Emperor, Green Emperor, Red Emperor......"
An inconspicuous look of anger flashed in Mr. Evil's eyes, and he let go of Raven's hand and said, "It seems that the ability I got from that woman is still too weak. β
Although this ability fits him, it is too weak.
Raven smiled mockingly and said, "Do you still want to hear it?" There are also Purple Emperor, Orange Emperor, ......"
Mr. Horror snorted softly and said, "You'd better pray that they won't come to save you, otherwise, my collection will have a lot more collectibles." β
The words fell, and Mr. Horror turned away.
Raven looked at each other mockingly, and it wasn't until the door closed that she sat down quietly, burying her head in her arms.
It really seems like it's going to be over this time, and I wonder if the people in the Hellfire Club will be sad after she dies, or after she becomes a test subject, that bastard...... Won't it be sad?
He's supposed to be......
Raven muttered to herself and slowly closed her eyes.
β¦β¦
At this time, the Hellfire Club.
"I said I wasn't allowed to go!"
Unmistakable tone.
The Black Emperor looked at the few people in front of him and said coldly: "This is what she found herself!" β
Without an order, Raven acted on his own, not only challenging his majesty, but also making Hellfire face the current predicament, which is the price that the other party should pay!
Scott and Emma, who had long since become the White Emperor and the White Queen of Hellfire, and several mutants who came with them looked at the Black Emperor with some disappointment in their eyes.
Noticing their eyes, Black Emperor Sebastian snorted coldly.
