Chapter Twenty-Three: Shaw's Ambition

Following Sebastian Shaw into the room, Alex and Emma found that there was a hole in the room, hundreds of square meters, and the decoration was even more luxurious, as well as a whole wall-sized wine cabinet, the wine cabinet was full of all kinds of good wines, and the Red Devil was sitting on the bar next to the wine cabinet, drinking leisurely.

Elsewhere in the room, there were quite a few people sitting in twos and threes, including Iron Skin, Fire Fist and others that Alex was familiar with and had taught several times.

Follow Sebastian Shaw all the way to the circular couch in the center of the room. When Alex got closer, he found that there was still a person sitting on the sofa, but he was a little short, and he was just blocked by the backrest behind him and couldn't see it.

The closer he got, the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, and Alex found that it was not that the man was short, but that the bones of the man had not yet opened, and that he was actually an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

When he was surprised how a child could appear under Sebastian Shaw, the child suddenly turned his head, and when he saw the child's face, Alex's brain crackled with a burst of thunder and fell, which blew up Alex in a daze, and there was only one name left in his mind: "Eric? ”

Yes, this kid is none other than the future Magneto Eric.

Eric glanced up at Alex and Emma as they walked over, the expressions on their faces did not change, and he turned around and continued to play chess on the table. It's just that unlike others, Eric doesn't use his hands, and the pieces on the chessboard will move on their own.

Eric's uniqueness naturally caught Emma's attention, and she asked in surprise, "Wouldn't he be the kid you said he could control metal?" ”

Alex nodded imperceptibly and turned to look at Sebastian Shaw. With a look of admiration, he said: "Mr. Xiao's subordinates are really strong and strong. Even a child has such a powerful ability! As he spoke, Alex held out his right hand. Gesturing to touch Eric's head.

Eric turned his head sideways and looked up at Alex, there was no emotion in his cold eyes.

Looking at Eric's eyes, Alex's heart was like a thorn, Alex couldn't imagine what Eric had experienced during this time, which made his eyes so cold. I thought of the promise I had made to Eric, "Follow me and everything will be fine." Alex was even more guilty.

Finding that Alex was a little unstable, Emma reached out and pulled Alex over, sat on the other side of the round sofa, and Sebastian Shaw was far away, secretly busy comforting Alex, while looking up at Sebastian Shaw, he asked unhurriedly, and his tone was also imminent, neither cold nor warm: "Say it." What are you looking for us? ”

Sebastian Xiao poured himself a glass of red wine, shook the wine glass slightly, and said with a faint smile: "I just suddenly heard that an old friend is back, so I want to invite an old friend to have a drink together." ”

As soon as the words fell. The Red Devil appeared in front of Emma with two goblets in his hands, and the bright red wine slowly swayed, as if the heart was fluctuating.

After discovering that Emma is no longer the Emma she used to be. Sebastian Shaw decisively changed his strategy, and Emma was no better than before. He needed to find a way to hold her again, otherwise it would be difficult to control. Emma disappeared for months and suddenly reappeared. also deliberately came to the door, it is very likely that there is something to ask for, which may be a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, Emma was not in a hurry at all, picked up the wine glass, leaned on Alex relaxedly, and tasted it one by one, as if she was really just here to drink.

Secretly, Emma complained anxiously: "What a cunning old fox, it's hard to deal with!" ”

After Emma's comfort, Alex had already recovered from Eric's stimulation, and when he heard that the old god was on the ground, he said, "Don't worry, hold him first." Being too positive will cause him to be suspicious. ”

Hearing Alex say this, Emma was not in a hurry, and chatted with Alex while drinking: "Actually, if we take action now, we can take them all down, and we can also rescue Eric, killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Don't!" Alex knew that Emma was well-intentioned, and he wanted to take Eric back, but if he did, their plans to join the Hellfire Club would be ruined, "We're here to go deep inside, and if we take them now, we'll lose our springboard." ”

In Alex's eyes, Sebastian Shaw is just a springboard for them to go deep into the interior of the Hellfire Club, or the kind to throw when they run out.

After waiting for a long time, Sebastian Shaw never saw Emma speak, just drank vigorously, more and more casually, which made Sebastian Shaw a little uncertain, and secretly anxious: "Did I guess wrong?" ”

After drinking three bottles of wine in a row, Sebastian Shaw finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in speaking: "The position of the black king of the club is vacant, and a new black king will be selected soon." I want you to help me run for the Black King, and when it happens, you will be the White Queen. ”

"The Black King? This should be the most powerful under the Supreme King, right? Alex vaguely remembers that Straker had said to himself at the beginning, "Sebastian Shaw is just an ordinary member now, and his ambition is not small!" ”

"His ambitions have always been not small." Hearing Alex's words, Emma sneered and said, "A white queen, for a black king, this deal is a good deal." ”

"No, it's a black king, a white queen, and a black king." Alex really has to thank Sebastian Shaw for the timeless trade and the dutiful job he did as a springboard.

Emma understood a little bit, and couldn't help but say happily: "Then when the time comes, I will be the White Queen, you will be the Black King, and we will join forces to control the Hellfire Club." ”

Seeing that Emma had been silent, Sebastian Shaw was a little anxious, time was pressing, and he had to gather all the power that could be enveloped. Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade him, Emma suddenly smiled.

"Nice exchange!" Emma chuckled, nodded in agreement, and immediately asked directly, "Say, what do you need me to do?" ”

"When the time comes, there will definitely be other candidates besides me, kill them all before I can become the Black King." Sebastian Shaw's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal, "Of course, before that, I need to increase my capital and get the candidacy for the Black King." ”

"Capital?"

"Yes, capital." Sebastian Shaw suddenly stood up, pointed at Emma and said excitedly, "I need more people, more mutants." ”

Emma frowned slightly when she heard this, looked at Sebastian Shaw with some disgust, and asked calmly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Find them, control them, and make them loyal to me." Sebastian Shaw didn't pay any attention to Emma's eyes, he was falling into his own fanatical fantasy, "Gather all the mutants, and the whole world will be mine." ”

"What a fanatic!" Alex and Emma rolled their eyes and complained at the same time. (To be continued......)
