This is a research institute located in the remote suburbs of New York, and at this time in a quiet room of it, suddenly a red light flashed, and three figures suddenly appeared in the room, and these three people were naturally the Red Devil, Yuriko and Lu Yifang.

"I have to say, your ability is still very convenient." Lu Fang praised and said that with the teleportation ability of the Red Devil, every time he came to the research institute, the possibility of exposure would undoubtedly be much reduced.

"Thanks for the compliment, it's my pleasure." The Red Devil smiled slightly, and made a standard squire salute to the side of the road.

"You're here." At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and the White Queen had already walked in.

With her mental power, the moment the Red Devil teleported back, she was aware of it.

"So this is our institute." Lu Fang looked at the surroundings with interest, and then asked. "I don't have to worry about the money anymore."

"At the time of the collapse of Hammer Industries, we took the opportunity to siphon off a total of $45 billion in liquidity, which should have been a long time coming. It's just that for the sake of prudence, I still think that this money will be put aside for a while, after all, although Ivan Vanke's money laundering skills are good, some guys also have very smart noses. The White Queen explained.

"You're probably worried about S.H.I.E.L.D." Lu Fang turned around and glanced at the White Queen. "You can rest assured that I've gotten the answer from Fury that he's not going to touch this mess of Hammer Industries."

"It's for the best." Hearing this, the White Queen's mood also improved a lot.

"The field is there, the money is there, and the next thing is to find someone, the few people I ordered, although they are not very famous, but they are definitely people with real skills, have you found them?" Lu Fang turned around and asked.

"Two of them have just been invited by the Red Devils, and you brought them up, so let's go and have a look." The White Queen turned and opened the door.

But at this moment, a yellow-haired young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old appeared at the door, and when he saw this figure, Lu Fang was stunned.

"John!"

"One side!" After the yellow-haired young man saw the side of the road, he was also stunned.

There is no doubt that the yellow hair in front of him is the ex-roommate of the road side - Burning Man John.

"I didn't expect you to be here." Lu Fang's expression was a little complicated. Speaking of which, John's seat was empty in the classroom for the past two days, but because he was too busy, the passerby didn't pay much attention to it for a while.

Now it seems that his roommate, who doesn't know how to use it, actually succeeded in hooking up with Magneto and turned to Magneto, and what is even more interesting is that Magneto actually put John on the side of the road, which is definitely intentional.

"I didn't expect you to be here." John's expression was just as complicated.

"But in this way, we originally thought of going together, and sure enough, betraying Professor X and joining Magneto was the right choice." John said excitedly.

At the mutant school, John felt that he was being disciplined a lot, and although he knew that the professors and teachers were asking for this to protect them, John couldn't bear it. After all, free indulgence is the nature of the Burning Man, so after seeing the shock of Magneto's unbridled release of superpowers, John's heart inevitably leans towards the Brotherhood.

"Betrayal? I didn't betray Professor X, I just did something with Magneto, and Professor X knew about it. I'm skipping class right now, and I'm going to go back to class in the afternoon. Lu Fang explained.

"And this kind of operation??" John said he could understand every word on the road side, but why did it add up so incredible?

"John, Professor X's relationship with Magneto is far more complicated than you think." Lu Fang patted John on the shoulder and said in a long voice. "By the way, do you want to go back to the afternoon class?"

Dropping out of school is not a good thing, and when it comes to teaching and educating people, Professor X is much more reliable than Magneto.

"Can I go back?" John looked at the side of the road in surprise.

Although Professor X and his teachers are very strict about superpowers, the life of the mutant school, if John does not remember it at all, it is naturally impossible.

"Of course you can, if you want, you can use your abilities wantonly here while taking classes in the academy, and if Professor X has any questions for you, you can just say that I let you do it."

Listening to Lu Yifang's words, John's eyes lit up, and he stared at Lu Fang for a long time, and then said with a complicated expression; "You know, when I was in Acrylic Lake before, I couldn't believe that the person who could shake the phoenix was actually my roommate."

"And now?" Lu Fang said with a smile.

"Now that I've decided, I'll mess with you from now on." John said frankly that although he was arrogant, he was a man who could put himself in the right position, and would maintain a sense of reverence for those who were stronger than him.

"It's easy to say, as a brother, I won't treat you badly, I'll invite you to drink Coke when I go back in the afternoon!" The roader put his arm around John's shoulders and said with a smile.

At the same time, Lu Fang is also thinking about the opportunity to pull a few mutant students with good potential into the gang in the future, such as Bobby the Iceman, and Colossus Pete.

"Where is this?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, it was clear that this was definitely not the room where he had been imprisoned all along.

The man looked at the simple, but very clean, modern room, in which there was a thin man who looked to be in his fifties, who was knocking on the door, as if trying to get him out, but it didn't seem to be useful now.

"Hey, let's get to know each other." Seeing that the man woke up, the man also walked over, stretched out his hand and said in a friendly manner.

"My name is Horton Radcliffe, and I'm a scientist."

Seeing this, the man hesitated for a moment, and also stretched out his hand. "Hello, my name is Mussel Stern, and I'm a scientist."

"I see, since we are both scientists, then the result is clear, the kidnappers seem to be using our knowledge," Radcliffe thought to himself.

"There are a lot of people who attack my ideas and research results, so I have always taken precautions, but I was still arrested, and these people don't seem to be simple." The only thing that reassures Radcliffe is that no matter what these people want to do, they are actually coming for the knowledge in his head, so they will not hurt him easily.

Radcliffe is an independent scientist, and he has no national concept of himself, and it is not a big picture for him to work for whom, as long as it is not the kind of extremely inhumane weapons research, he is acceptable, at best, he does not contribute to the work.

Radcliffe, who had settled down in this way, suddenly turned his attention to his colleague again, for he suddenly felt that the name seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Muselle······ Dr. Mussel Stern. Thinking of this, Radcliffe suddenly became excited. I remember, a while ago I heard a few friends from the military talk about you, and the appearance of that abomination is related to you, right? ”
