Seeing Bucky disappear completely, Alex let out a long sigh and turned his gaze to the envelope in his hand, the dark red envelope was particularly different, as if it had been soaked in blood, with a vague aura.

Emma glanced at Alex's expression and wanted to persuade a few words, but found that Alex had recovered quickly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Alex chuckled and glanced at Emma, reached out and tore open the envelope, pulling out an equally blood-colored piece of paper, with only a few words on it, it turned out to be a challenge letter.

"What?!" There were a lot of people standing behind Alex, and those with sharp eyes could naturally see it, and they couldn't help but shout immediately, scolding very ugly, and looking indignant.

Others didn't know what was written in the letter, and they were even more confused when they saw some people scolding there, and they opened their mouths to ask anxiously, but unfortunately they didn't see anyone answer after asking for a long time. In desperation, everyone turned their eyes to Alex and waited for Alex's answer.

"It's nothing, it's just that they want to fight us." Alex casually handed the letter to Emma, and said casually, but he was muttering to himself in his heart, with the power of Straker and the Hellfire Club, coupled with the mutant brotherhood, the three parties joined forces, and the strength was only stronger than the mutant family, and there was no need to have a heads-up battle at this time.

Emma glanced at the text on the letter, the expression on her face was a little solemn, and she looked up at Alex, and found that Alex was thinking about the same as herself, and both of them felt that there was a problem with Straker's challenge.

"It can't be a trap, right?" There was no public communication, and Alex and Emma chose to communicate with each other, and by the way, Tesa was also included. Tessa is one of the few brains in the mutant family.

Listen to Emma. Alex shook his head imperceptibly. After a long pause, he said, "It's not a trap, they weren't stupid enough to frame us in such a way. After a pause, Alex added, "Besides, the location of this fight should technically be our territory, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't set a trap. ”

Tessa didn't speak, but she could tell by her slightly furrowed eyebrows. Her computer-like head was racing.

"So what do we do? To go or not to go? Emma glanced at Tessa and turned her gaze to Alex, her brow furrowed and a little nervous.

"Go, of course you want to go, why not go!" No matter what kind of conspiracy Straker or the Black Queen set up, as long as they sent Bucky, Alex would not back down no matter what, "If they want to fight, we will accompany them......"

Alex wasn't done yet. Tessa's stiff voice suddenly sounded, cold and somewhat scary.

"According to my calculations. Their most likely plan is to turn the tiger away! Tessa's cold gaze swept over Alex and Emma, a hint of sorrow flashed across her expressionless face, "While we turned our attention to the challenge, they secretly sent people to attack the Floating Temple. ”

Alex was slightly stunned, and looked at Tesa in disbelief: "You only need to send a small number of people to challenge the competition, how can you transfer the tiger away from the mountain?" "Alex is not stupid, a small challenge in a fight, Alex will not be stupid to the best of the elite, besides, the guards on the floating island are not weak, and many people are even more powerful than the X-Men.

"All you need to do is transfer the big tiger away!" Tessa pouted and smiled with a hint of sneer, not at Alex, of course, but at Straker and his gang.

Alex and Emma looked at each other with a confused expression: "It's not easy for them to transfer our big tiger. "Alex has a telepathy, the speed is much faster than Straker's, if he finds that the opponent is wrong, Alex can return in an instant, and the tiger will be broken without attacking.

"The only possibility is that they have more masters!" Tessa had a gloomy face, and her eyes looked deeply at the direction in which Bucky had disappeared, and her expression was a little solemn. Tessa remembered the genetic enhancement liquid that Alex had talked about, maybe the Brotherhood mutants would become a wonder army, and maybe some of them would reach unimaginable heights.

Alex and Emma obviously thought of this as well, frowning slightly.

After pondering for a long time, Alex thought of a countermeasure: "Find someone to pretend to be me to go to the scene of the competition, I will sit in the floating temple!" Even after losing the copy, Alex is still one of the best in the mutant family, and he is certainly indispensable in the fight challenge, and he is destined to be the most high-profile person among them.

According to Alex's arrangement, everything was quickly ordered, and most of the X-Men continued to stay at their posts as if nothing had happened, but secretly many masters were secretly recalled and secretly lurked in the floating island.

And the person who pretended to be Alex was also found, a mutant who is proficient in transformation, and his ability is similar to that of a demon girl, but it is weaker, and he can only transform into someone else's appearance, and he can't simulate superpowers. But fortunately, this transgender person still has a certain degree of telepathy, which can be regarded as compensation!

It was already early the next morning when everything was ready, and without too much delay, Alex personally sent a group of people who were ready to participate in the challenge to their destination, a city on the plains, right in the middle of the circle of influence between AIM and the Mutant House, closer to the Mutant House.

"Nothing out of the ordinary!" An X-Men who was proficient in reconnaissance glanced around and made sure there was no danger, not even anyone, "There is no one within a radius of thousands of meters." ”

Alex nodded, glanced at Emma and carefully instructed, "I will keep an eye on this side at all times, and if there is a problem, I will rush over immediately!" "The holographic console of the floating temple can observe here, and Alex can know everything that is happening here in real time.

Emma gently hugged Alex, and also did not forget to instruct: "You should be careful, too." After a slight pause, Emma's tone rose a little, with a hint of concern, "After all, this time is different from the past, don't be reckless." ”

Alex looked at Emma with a smile and a kiss goodbye before activating a teleportation back to the Floating Temple.

At the console of the Floating Temple, Crystal sat next to him, with a very solemn expression on his face. In order to meet the possible battle, Alex specially invited the crystal, and the crystal that can control the four elements is also top-notch among the mutants, and it is also a great help.

"Ready?" Sensing Alex's arrival, Crystal said without looking back, with a faint look of banter on his face.

Alex watched his body gradually deform with some helplessness, and glared at the crystal angrily: "Don't mess around! "Alex's body is a body of flame, and among the four elements that crystals can activate and manipulate, fire is precisely one.

What made Alex even more speechless was that at this stage, his energy control was not comparable to the crystal's control of the four elements. In other words, the crystal can manipulate Alex's body at any time, allowing him to do whatever he wants, and Alex is powerless to resist. (To be continued......)
