Chapter 142: Who's the Betrayer and Who Is the Leader

I didn't do anything, how did I get [tick] to be named a hero to save the world?

The White Queen's mind was full of question marks, and she looked confused.

In particular, the high-ranking officials of the Admiralty completely surrounded her with warm applause and endless praise.

It was as if it was really Luke who had done what he had done to save the planet from a terrible catastrophe.

"What the hell is this ......?"

The White Queen subconsciously looked at Luke, who was smiling gently, and the young major general's eyes were unusually calm, like a bystander enjoying a play.

Thinking of the deep affection just now, as if it had really happened, she seemed to understand something.

"He did it on purpose......"

The brain seemed to pour a basin of cold water and wake up in an instant.

The White Queen struggled to break free from her dizziness, and suddenly noticed that her compatriots in the Hellfire Club were looking at her strangely.

Those complex emotions, after precipitating, turned into a stinging scolding sound like a sharp sword-

Traitor!

Whistle-blower!

For a psychic person, reading the emotions and thoughts of others is a foundational skill.

Obviously, at this time, she has become a betrayer in the eyes of her compatriots!

"It's not like that, they misunderstood!"

The White Queen's red lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to justify.

Although she didn't like Sebastian Shaw's practices.

It is even extremely resistant to the other party's intention to use the continental shelf oscillator as an important bargaining chip to threaten the human world - that would not only harm humanity, but also do mutants no good.

But even so, the White Queen did not think of betraying the Hellfire Club and betraying the "king" who brought her into the organization.

The cohesion within the mutants is strong because most of them have had the tragic experience of being persecuted.

Similar experiences, unusual natural abilities, and rejection and discrimination from the outside world have all forced them together.

So, when Sebastian Shaw ascended a shout.

And after showing extremely strong strength, he easily gathered a group of compatriots.

Later, Magneto was able to lead the Brotherhood, and it was also based on this.

To put it bluntly, it is actually the external pressure that makes the mutants have to unite internally.

So, as part of the exclusion of normal society.

The White Queen would never voluntarily choose to leave the Hellfire Club, or the mutant community.

That would make her even the last place to stay, the last circle she could fit into.

The fate of the abandonment of group creatures is far more frightening than ordinary discrimination and repression.

This is also the reason why Sebastian Shaw did not rule out the instability in the first place when he learned that the other party was in private contact with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sister and also opposed his plan.

Because, the White Queen has nowhere to go!

Staying in the Hellfire Club, she is a proud and powerful mutant, a beautiful and noble queen.

Losing these and returning to the human world, the other party can only become an outlier and a freak in the eyes of others.

"Miss Frost, I heard that you are sisters to S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Kayla."

Luke casually mentioned this and chuckled: "In response to the injustice that mutants have been subjected to, and the future direction of development, S.H.I.E.L.D. will soon hold a peace summit in Paris, where all countries will participate." ”

"You're going to have to show up as a delegate so the world knows what the mutants are facing."

Mr. Major General looked at the White Queen, who was speechless and depressed, walked up to her, and reached out to hold the other party's shoulder.

"Miss Frost, you're not going to turn down this offer, are you?"

The White Queen shrank back, and nodded heavily after a while.

The diamond-hard and brilliant exterior still can't hide the fragile heart.

In the face of Superman, who can resist?

……

……

"Why are you doing this?"

As the night deepened, the White Queen barged into the suite where Luke was resting, and asked angrily.

She hadn't been with Sebastian Shaw long enough, and she wasn't mature enough to show her emotions on her face easily.

"Good evening, Miss Frost."

Luke seemed to know that the other party was coming, so he deliberately prepared an extra cup.

"Red wine, or whiskey?"

He asked.

"Please answer my question, Mr. Major General!"

The White Queen's face was like frost, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of evil spirit.

Psychic abilities swept through the living room like a storm.

It's a pity that Luke, who was in the middle of it, was unmoved, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The reason is very simple, and it is also complicated. ”

"I need a spokesperson for the mutant camp, and you're a good fit, Miss Frost."

The White Queen was slightly stunned, and her turbulent momentum suddenly weakened.

Spokesman?

I?

"You want to be the new king of the Hellfire Club?"

The White Queen frowned, quickly guessing what Luke really thought.

Use yourself to take control of the Hellfire Club.

Then go one step further and go to the mutant community.

"Those of my people don't trust a human! Mr. Major General, you are thinking too much! ”

After the White Queen cleared her mind, she sneered: "And thanks to the honor you bestowed, many people in the club now regard me as a traitor!" ”

"Hehe, are you humans willing to accept informers? Betrayal is unwelcome and disgusted in any group! ”

Luke poured himself a glass of whiskey, and the sound of ice cubes hitting the walls of the glass was crisp and pleasant.

He sat back on the couch, glanced at the White Queen with her hands on her chest, and said slowly, "It's not as bad as you think, Miss Frost. ”

"First of all, trust can be built gradually, just as Rome was not built in a day."

"Secondly, the so-called whistleblower and traitor are only based on the fact that Sebastian Shaw is still the leader of the Hellfire Club."

"He's blown up like a tomato sauce mass of unidentified paste, how many diehards can there be? The king is dead, and the betrayal is gone. ”

Luke beckoned to the White Queen, who was keeping her distance and being vigilant, to sit down obediently.

Those with psychic abilities are in high demand no matter where they are placed.

In particular, Emma Frost, the White Queen, is still an alpha-class mutant, just like the bald professor.

Although the ability level is slightly inferior, it is not far behind in other aspects.

The diamond-shaped form that can shield psychic perception, coupled with the leadership position of the Hellfire Club, is completely a rare purple card.

"Whether it's a mutant or a human, the nature of living things is to seek advantages and avoid harm."

Luke moved his glass over and said calmly, "As I already said, S.H.I.E.L.D. is preparing to hold a peace summit and announce the existence of mutants to the world at the same time. ”

"The persecution and ostracism you have suffered in the past are partly due to your natural supernatural abilities, and partly due to the guidance and influence of the direction of public opinion."

The White Queen stared intently at the amber liquid in the wine glass, and her attitude gradually changed from contemptuous and disdainful to attentive listening.

"But if someone speaks for you, changes the image of mutants, and gets the federal government to step in, everything will change."

Luke paints flatbread and paints a bright future.

He can do that, but the process won't be so easy, that easy.

The existence of mutants means that human beings have become an underclass.

That's the real hard thing to solve.
