Chapter Eighty-Eight: Transactions

Emma, who had calmed down, touched the edge of the mask with her fingertips and asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

When the Great War took place forty-three years ago, she herself had not participated in any of the battles.

While the vast majority of the X-Men died at the X Academy, the White Queen, who was famous among the mutants, was just hiding alone in the castle of Latville and silently observing all this, and the Black Bolt was with her, not participating in the war.

However, a few old friends of the Hellfire Club did roll up their sleeves, but the results were not good.

One of the reasons why Clint didn't deny what she said before was because she really betrayed the superheroes back then.

Now, Quicksilver suddenly appeared in front of her, which really surprised her, when Quicksilver's Avengers team fell, the whole process was broadcast live on TV, and countless people went to Las Vegas afterwards to check if this was true, and finally they got the exact answer on the hammer that fell to the ground.

Pietro didn't answer directly, he blinked at Emma, then at Black Bolt, and finally turned his inquiring gaze to White Night, meaning: Should I say?

Bai Ye gave him an affirmative look.

After taking a deep breath, Pyro tells the story of it all, starting with the lightning bolt that streaked across the sky of the Zombie Universe and ending with the death of Magneto in the Wasteland Universe.

He doesn't have any feelings for the father of this universe, if he dies, he will die, and as for the relationship with the original universe, it was not completely voluntary when he and Wanda joined the mutant brotherhood.

One day when the siblings were teenagers, Wanda accidentally set fire to a house due to her uncontrollable abilities, and the frightened superstitious villagers were about to kill the 'witch' with a pitchfork and a stick.

Pietro initially tries to protect his sister with his powers, but he is soon subdued by the villagers because of his immature strength, and Magneto suddenly appears at this dangerous moment to save the two, and then threatens them to join the Brotherhood with a life-saving grace.

“...... It turned out to be so. Emma, who was sitting on the sofa, touched her chin and spoke as usual, but her heart was already turbulent.

She calmed down and looked at the white night opposite, according to the cosmic Quicksilver, it was the person in front of her who led them all the way to escape from the zombies, and also killed many villains in the wasteland.

"So what do you want? Mr. White Night, you traveled all the way to the Mutant Forbidden Land, just to come to the main hall to make small talk? ”

Emma took a glass of champagne from the hand of the waiter next to the sofa, and gently stroked the glass with her fingers, watching the countless tiny bubbles rise in the glass, as if returning to the old time.

"Still.... Kill us like you killed Eric? She said slowly, her voice a little low and tinged with a hint of unkindness.

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little tense, and Bai Ye's eyes rolled, and his enhanced vision keenly caught the Black Bolt King slowly inhaling through his nostrils.

The muscles of Quicksilver's legs behind him were a little tense, and the rest of them were also ready for battle.

"Of course not, we're not barbarians who kill people on sight." He waved his hand, and as soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment, the waiter stepped forward with a silver platter and offered everyone a glass of champagne.

Taking the wine glass and putting it on the glass coffee table, Bai Ye looked directly at Emma and said, "Before I tell us our true intentions, you might as well tell us why you betrayed the hero's side back then." ”

"It's important." He added.

Listening to the words of the white night, Emma's blue eyes shimmered with a complex light, as if weighing whether to say what she really thought.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

The hall fell silent, save for the faint sound of champagne bubbles.

After a long time, she finally spoke, "They have Doctor Doom, Loki, Red Skull, Dormammu, Magneto... Almost every villain you've ever seen or heard of has joined the offensive plan, and we don't have any odds at all. ”

"The marriage between the main hall and Doom is also a last resort."

She didn't say this to excuse her mistakes, but to let everyone know that she was forced to make some difficult decisions in order to protect herself and the future of the mutants.

"That's your reason?" Hearing this, Clint shook his head in disappointment.

He would rather hear that the White Queen had simply fallen to join the Red Skull's side, rather than surrender without a fight.

After Bai Ye heard this answer, his fingers tapped his thighs lightly, and his expression was noncommittal with a hint of indifference.

After thinking about it, he stopped his finger and said, "If you can betray the heroes for the sake of your own survival and the survival of your race, then can you betray the Doctor of Doom again for this?" ”

"What do you mean?"

The White Queen's blue eyes narrowed, looking at the man in front of her.

"Literally, looking at the way your husband and wife are separated, the relationship doesn't seem to be very good." Bai Ye turned his head to look at the hall, and his words were playful.

It used to be a lavish ballroom, beautifully decorated and opulent.

Gorgeous chandeliers hang from the soaring ceiling, giving off a soft glow. The walls are inlaid with rich murals and sculptures, showing a strong artistic atmosphere, and the floors are covered with ornate carpets, which are soft and comfortable.

However, a closer look reveals signs of decay.

The frescoes had begun to fade, the sculptures were showing signs of damage, and the attendants were not able to repair the building, which served as a palace.

Emma's aging face under the mask changed for a moment, and she knew in her heart that what Bai Ye said was right, this place was long gone.

Although he married Doom only out of profit and political considerations, Dr. Doom made a generous promise, nothing more than the words that every man in love would say.

It's just that when she is old, the two basically have no contact with each other - Dom is naturally not affected by her telepathy.

In a few years, she'd have to make everyone think that this place was still as beautiful as she had made them think they were still young.

White Night raised her head and glanced at Emma.

His gaze met her pale blue eyes through the shadow of his helmet, then he raised his wrist to let her see the cyan veins and said, "I'll give you what every old woman wants." ”

And the latter also asked very cooperatively at this time: "What? ”

"Infinite Recipes."
