Chapter 13: An Invitation from Hellfire!
S.H.I.E.L.D. Flying Fortress, Nick gathered four of his men who were staying in the fortress at the moment, and they were watching the video of Batman in the satellite feed.
When Nick froze the scene on the corner of Batman's mouth and ignored the hundreds of police cars chasing behind him with mockery, the eyes of the four were on him.
"There has never been such a thing of 'chivalrous and righteous' before, although this guy ignores the law a little, but it is undeniable that those damned ones are not alive, and those who don't deserve to die have survived." Nick said lightly, glancing at everyone, "The reason why we're talking about him now is because this guy is like he came out of nowhere, without any information, without any warning. All the people with special abilities in the United States have been recorded, but none of them are eligible! ”
"Boss, are you trying to find out his true identity?"
Among the four people, a man with short hair and light clothes, a shrewd and capable appearance, and eyes like an eagle falcon said lightly.
"That's right, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't allow uncontrollable things to happen, since that guy has the money to build those things, then those rich people in the United States are the targets of your investigation." Nick tapped his fingers on the conference table with a deep and incomprehensible expression, "Barton, you and Phil continue to follow up on the mutant matter, Natasha and Ciel, you take a break from your work for the time being and investigate the matter about Batman." ”
Natasha is a sexy beauty with red hair and a shawl, a hot body, and beautiful appearance, but under this excessively beautiful appearance, there is a skill that no one can underestimate. She couldn't help but nod her head when she heard Nick's words, indicating that she didn't have any objections.
Unlike Natasha's decisiveness, Ciel seems a little hesitant, as she has been following up on the Hulk and Rocky.
"Boss, Rocky's side..."
"Give it up for now! That guy likes to live an ordinary life, so let him stay like this! Nick said coldly, for Rocky's senses, he hated iron but not steel, in his eyes, Rocky belonged to the 'self-degenerate' person, and was no longer qualified to be included in the key observation objects of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Well..."
While S.H.I.E.L.D. gave up on following Rocky, the guy was wandering around the streets of New York. Since Peter went to the Genetic Spider exhibit today, he is now alone. But that didn't stop him from spending his time.
There are many ways for men to pass the time, usually playing games and finding hunting targets, and Rocky chooses the latter. Because Jenny was currently busy with a lawsuit, he had to do it.
If you're looking to find women in the U.S. who can spend a night out with you, it's probably all over the streets, with a little higher quality in nightclubs, or Hollywood, if you're going to have the best of the best. Because there are countless good-looking women out there waiting for a chance to make them famous.
Maybe today is not an auspicious day for the zodiac, and on Rocky's drive to Hollywood, he bumped into Logan, who he had met by chance in the plane last time, and now he seems to be in a bad condition.
Rogan roams the streets of New York, looking a little haggard and languid, and lately he has been hiding from harassment from his own kind. First some guys called the X-Men, and then some guys called the Mutant Brotherhood. These two groups of people co-opted and attacked him, and now he hasn't had a good rest for more than ten consecutive days.
Just as Logan was about to walk into a restaurant for a bite to eat, the car's horn sounded behind him. He turned his head and looked carefully at the guy sitting in the luxury car, and after a while, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Rocky stuck his head out the window and said, "Hey, man, do you need help?" ”
Logan thought about it and got into the co-pilot of the luxury car.
After Logan got in the car, Rocky slowly started the car and asked very casually, "It seems that you have been having a bad time lately?" ”
"Yes, it's bad." Logan said with a gloomy face, lying sleepily in his seat, looking like he could fall asleep at any time.
"Oh, tell me what happened to you, maybe I can give you some advice." Rocky said with the idea of 'helping others is the foundation of happiness'.
Do you really believe that he will like to help people? Wrong! That's because he found something that would allow him to pass the time when he was bored.
Logan was a little hesitant when he heard this, but considering that Rocky helped him and the other party seemed to be of the same kind, he slowly told him what had happened recently.
After hearing about the two mutant organizations, Rocky couldn't help but feel something called excitement in his heart.
"Man, would you like to hear my opinion?"
Logan nodded lightly when he heard this, he needed someone to tell him what to do now, because he was tired of living like this.
"If I were you, why not join one side for the time being? The most important thing is to be sheltered, not to be harassed like a lost dog like you are now. ”
Lodge's words, though unkind, are true. Logan is obviously unwilling to be restrained, this kind of personality is destined for this guy to be harassed endlessly, and the two mutant organizations know that they are mortal enemies when they hear it, and it is better to join one side to find temporary shelter.
"But I don't want to be in a 'cage' like this!" Logan said in a low voice, looking like he would rather die than be free.
Rocky pursed his lips with disdain for his appearance, "Man, you're just a mutant, not an immortal, beware of those guys tearing you apart in anger." When that time comes, what freedom are you talking about? ”
Logan opened his mouth, then stopped talking with a wry smile.
The car followed Rocky to his Beverly estate mansion in Los Angeles.
"Let's go, I'll show you where you need to live for the time being."
Rocky walked out of the car with Logan, and as he arrived, the servants in the villa poured out, standing respectfully on either side.
Logan's cheeks twitched at the sight of this picture, this rich man's style of painting made him, a guy who had been poor for almost a long time, very depressed.
"You can treat this place as your own home for the time being, and when you think clearly, you can leave!"
With that, Rocky gave the servant orders and then prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Rocky turned his head to look, only to see Logan's puzzled look.
"You've only met me twice, so why are you helping me like this? If you want me to do something for you, you're looking for the wrong person! ”
I have to say that it is not unreasonable for Logan to be vigilant, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no lunch for nothing. If Rocky didn't have what he wanted, he wouldn't have believed it.
Rocky wanted to be sarcastic when he heard that, man, what do you think you have that I can take advantage of? But he wasn't going to say that. The consequence of saying this is likely to make this guy angry and turn around and leave. If this guy is gone, what else is he going to do to catch those mutant fish? Therefore, he can only pretend to be mysterious.
"When the time comes, you'll know."
Leaving this meaningful sentence behind, Rocky left, and Logan heard the answer with deep confusion on his face.
Rocky loves novelty and originally came to Earth, he thought it would be the most boring experience he had, but who knows, first Banner's Hulk, then S.H.I.E.L.D., and now the mutants. This made his interest and sense of the earth instantly increase countless times over. Although he said that he was bored and wanted to find something interesting for him, he actually hoped to find a way to unlock the seal of divine power within the mutant's ability.
While wandering Los Angeles, Rocky arrives at Rocky's home in Manhattan with an invitation to Hellfire.
Alfred did not open the invitation when he received it, but dialed Rocky's phone.
Rocky, who was driving, connected to Bluetooth and asked, "Alfred, is there anything urgent?" ”
"Young Master, there is an invitation called the Hellfire Club sent to the house."
Rocky frowned when he heard this, slowly parked the car to the side, and continued to ask with some uncertainty: "Are you sure, it's Hellfire?" ”
"You can't go wrong."
"Okay, you read it to me."
"Dear Mr. Rocky Azazler, we cordially invite you to join the Hellfire Club for tonight's cocktail reception in Los Angeles. - Emma Frost. ”
"It's funny, it's ...... them"
Rocky hung up, a slightly playful smile on his face.
No successful businessman or politician would be unaware of the existence of Hellfire, a club of power that countless people want to squeeze their heads into. But the club is very strict and secretive in its selection of members, and I have never heard of a dinner party in the upper circles. This time, since I've come across it, I'll have to take a look at whatever I say.
