Chapter 15: The Clash of Words

Xiao's appearance made the celebrities present constantly try to come forward to talk to him. They had the idea of joining Hellfire and becoming one of the powerful.

It's a pity that although these people are famous in the human world, they don't even have a single one. He desperately needed a new member to join Hellfire to complement his current inner circle, and this person, he fell in love with, Rocky.

Rocky looked at the man and two women in front of him very boldly, but this thing that seemed very rude to outsiders did not make Xiao feel annoyed, but looked at each other with Rocky with interest.

Rocky was not interested in looking at a man, and he set his eyes on Emma and Serena. If there was restraint just now, then now it can be described as truly unscrupulous.

At this moment, Emma and Serena were used to seeing all kinds of men's rudeness to them, but they had never been as if they were being stripped naked for him to see. This lack of physical and psychological secrets made them feel a little awe-inspiring.

Shaw finally spoke, perhaps unwilling to let Rocky look at his female companion like this, perhaps because he thought he had seen Rocky through, and he said, "They're charming, aren't they?" ”

Rocky didn't nod when he heard this, but sneered: "It's useless to be a woman who is not me, no matter how beautiful she is!" ”

Xiao frowned when he said this, and the corners of his mouth showed an extremely subtle arc.

'Not my thing, have I always been stingy?' That's interesting......

Glancing at Emma and Serena, whose eyes were a little unnatural, he smiled slightly, "Mr. Rocky, as a gentleman, you should not hesitate to compliment!" ”

This sentence won the applause and praise of those around the person who wanted to welcome the horse. What is the difference between these celebrities and those who drill the camp in the face of real power?

"That's a good point, Mr. Xiao!"

"Some guys should learn the so-called high society etiquette."

"What a terrible man, I thought he was funny!"

Can such a welcome really make Shaw happy? If they knew that Rocky was an important guest this time, and they were just a foil, they wouldn't have said that.

Rocky has never disdained to pretend to people he doesn't like, and he also knows deeply what kind of person you should say to someone. Xiao in front of him walked in front of him with a very clear purpose since he entered the venue. It is precisely because of this that he speaks so unscrupulously, and he knows that the seemingly unfathomable man opposite him has 'begged' him.

"My friendly compliments are only to those who deserve my admiration." Rocky snorted, snapped his fingers and called the waiter, picked up a glass of red wine, took a small sip, and said, "But unfortunately, none of the people here are eye-catching." As he spoke, he glanced at the celebrities present with extreme mockery.

This move made him instantly offend the so-called celebrity gentlemen present.

"Who does he think he is?"

"Arrogant fellow, doesn't he know who he's talking to?"

"In the face of true power and wealth, what right does he have to disdain?"

Listen, there are no rude words, but they can be unpleasant. Because the disdain, contempt, and sarcasm in their words are very strong. In their minds, even if Rocky can make Justin Hammer bow his head, he is not qualified to argue with everyone present. What's more, the person who talks to him is the ruler of hellfire.

If Rocky's words made them angry, then Shaw's actions stunned them.

"Hahahaha... Well said! With enough power, there is no need to be hypocritical to anyone. ”

Xiao laughed, causing the people present to stop talking and look at this scene in amazement.

"You're nice, really nice. You have more capital to be proud of than Tony Stark, because he's nothing at your age. ”

When Rocky heard this, his face finally showed a look of approval, "I like this sentence very much, it seems that we can talk about it." ”

Then, the mocking fellows watched in amazement as Shaw and Rocky left the venue, and by this time, the drinking party had become meaningless.

When Hammer saw this, his eyes flashed with a look of unknown meaning. One thing is for sure, though, this guy is more determined to hug Rocky's thigh.

In the luxurious parlor on the second floor of the reception, the four of them sat opposite each other, and Shaw personally opened a bottle of the most expensive Bordeaux liquid and poured wine for Rocky. This move won Rocky's favor. There's no one who doesn't like someone who holds a position who values you, even if it's deliberate. But of course, Rocky only has a slight affection for Shaw, which will not be a factor hindering his judgment.

"Presumably Mr. Lodge must have guessed my purpose."

Xiao said casually, like an old friend.

Rocky folded his legs, leaned back in the sofa chair, and nodded, "If my guess is correct, you're trying to invite me to join Hellfire." ”

"Yes, but that's just one of the reasons!" Shaw's face showed a hint of playfulness, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Has Mr. Rocky heard of the mutant group?" ”

Mutants? Rocky's face did not move, but he had a trace of speculation about the Hellfire Club in his heart, thinking of the blonde beside him just now, and a deep smile appeared on his face.

"Presumably, among the few people here, I am the only one who is an ordinary person, right?"

Xiao Wenyan raised his brows, Emma and Serena couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. They don't know why Rocky would associate mutants with them. Even Emma, who has been mentally tempted, just treats Rocky as an ordinary person.

"Mr. Lodge is indeed very clever enough to guess who we are just by a few words." Xiao said with emotion, a deep expression on his face, "Yes, we are indeed all mutants. But Mr. Lodge says that he is an ordinary person, I'm afraid you don't even believe it, right? ”

Rocky glanced at Xiao meaningfully, but in his heart he had an intuitive idea of the intelligence power of Hellfire. But that doesn't mean he's going to join Hellfire, you know, he's even turned down an invitation from S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Now that you know, you should know very well that I won't work for anyone, because I don't trust anyone!"

Shaw was not disappointed when he heard this clear refusal, but said with a light smile: "Mr. Lodge doesn't seem to understand the nature of our Hellfire. The leadership of Hellfire is led by the black and white kings and queens of chess, and is divided into black and white bishops and chariots. If Mr. Rocky enters Hellfire, then the identity of the White King is yours. ”

Hearing this, Rocky subconsciously glanced at Emma, who was dressed in white, with a smile on his face.

Feeling Rocky's narrow eyes, Emma felt irrepressibly ashamed and angry in her heart. How does this impudent guy understand the White King and the White Queen?

Just as Emma was about to get angry, Rocky withdrew his gaze and asked with a smile, "You haven't sued me yet, what is the reason for you inviting me?" ”

Xiao saw Rocky's small movements in his eyes, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and after hearing the words, he said slowly: "It's very simple, fight for the status and interests that mutants deserve." ”

What a noble wish! If you really believe it, you are very wrong.

Rocky had never trusted those who put their mouths on the job, and from the point of view of Shaw, a wise man who was not full of mood, he was only halfway to saying this.

He does want to fight for the interests of mutants, because he is a mutant himself. What is the most straightforward way to fight for status and interests? That is to start a war. In the end, the ruler of Hellfire rules the world while achieving what he says he wants.

Will Shaw be able to rule the world? Rocky smiled but didn't say anything. Not to mention S.H.I.E.L.D.'s deposits, mutants are even more scattered. Plus those special people, who will sit back and watch Xiao rule the world?

"You have a good reason, but alas, I'm not a mutant." Rocky shook his right index finger and sighed, "I'm sure you won't fully trust me, someone who isn't of my kind." ”

Xiao frowned deeply, for the first time, he felt that dealing with smart people was a very tiring thing. Especially this guy is not average smart.
