The billionaire picked up the walkie-talkie, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and put it to his ear; a cold voice came from inside.
"Passcode."
"Rebirth."
"Passcode correct… What is it?"
The billionaire poured out the details of today's meeting and asked, "Do I need to take action?"
"No need."
The voice on the other end panicked; those billionaires didn't know the Demon King's true strength, but did they not?
The entire World combined might not be His opponent.
After a moment of silence, the other party said, "We should not act rashly. The higher-ups have no intention of becoming enemies with the Demon King, but we can relay the message to the Demon King as a gesture of goodwill."
This intelligence was of little use to the Demon King, but it could express their good intentions.
The billionaire said nervously, "Also, my hospital is about to go bankrupt."
"Understood. The intelligence you provided this time is valuable. I will report it to the higher-ups and arrange for you to switch to a construction company."
The billionaire was overjoyed; his wealthy life could continue.
"Hail Hydra!" X2
After hanging up, the billionaire threw the walkie-talkie directly into the Fire, watching it slowly twist and deform in the flames.
This was the advantage of having a powerful organization backing you: no matter how you played, as long as you didn't betray them and weren't discovered, you would always be fine.
How could those who struggled on the brink of death and painstakingly schemed understand the profound mysteries within?
Compared to them, he was undoubtedly much luckier and more secure.
Thinking of this, the billionaire's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a triumphant smile, then he turned and left the Underground Room.
In a deserted, spacious steel warehouse, Raven slowly transformed back into her original appearance. She walked gracefully towards the interior of the warehouse.
This was the Brotherhood's temporary Base. Raven came to a high platform where a figure wearing a steel helmet was quietly looking at the sunlight outside, lost in thought.
"Eric, I'm back." Raven's voice broke the silence.
"Raven, you've worked hard." Eric turned around and said.
Raven recounted everything that happened at the meeting, including Charles standing up again.
A flicker of guilt and joy flashed in Eric's eyes. Although the two had gone their separate ways, their past friendship remained deep in his heart, difficult to erase.
However, after hearing that Charles agreed to let the suddenly appearing Demon King become the new King of the Mutants, Eric fell into contemplation.
Although his old friend was weak, his judgment was not bad.
"Raven, what do you think of that Demon King?"
Eric turned his gaze to Raven, with a probing look in his eyes.
Raven said without hesitation, "Mysterious, powerful. He clearly discovered me but didn't expose me. His attitude towards Mutants and humans is no different. We can try to approach him."
She had thought about these questions on the way back.
She didn't favor either Charles's or Eric's path, but in the past, she had no choice but to follow the more pragmatic Eric.
Now that a new hope had appeared, she wanted to try.
"Who?"
Eric's eyes turned cold. Before he finished speaking, the surrounding hard metal instantly melted, turning into sharp spears that shot towards the ceiling.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A series of sounds. A string of large holes were pierced in the ceiling, and sunlight poured down.
After piercing through the ceiling, the sharp spears did not stop there but transformed again in mid-air.
They rapidly split into countless dense needles, then shot out in all directions with overwhelming force.
"Eric, is someone eavesdropping?"
Raven also reacted, quickly hiding in a secluded corner to avoid interfering with the upcoming battle.
Eric sensed for a moment and said, "He's gone. It should be a spatial ability. He appeared and disappeared suddenly. If he hadn't had metal on him, I wouldn't have found him."
"Do we need to move the Base?" Raven asked.
Raven also relaxed; what they were discussing was not top-secret.
Before Eric could speak, someone rushed in.
The first to appear was a burly man with golden hair and a golden beard. His sharp claws gripped the wall, and in a few leaps, he appeared beside Eric, vigilantly looking around.
Soon after, the other members of the Brotherhood also appeared here.
"Leader, what happened?"
Eric's actions had attracted them, and everyone thought an enemy had invaded.
"Nothing. You all go out. Mystique and I still have things to discuss." Eric said.
The Toad Man looked at the large hole in the ceiling and thought, 'This is nothing?' But seeing that the leader was indeed fine, he led his people away.
"There's no need to move the Base for now. Let me think more about the Demon King's matter." Eric frowned, lost in thought.
Raven also understood that it was unrealistic for Eric to abandon his long-held path all at once, so she nodded.
"This is the Demon King's welcoming gift."
Raven opened the small box in her hand and handed it over, then turned and left.
As she reached the doorway, Eric's voice came from behind her.
"Raven, help me collect some books on architecture."
"Understood."
Raven's lips curved into a smile. She understood that Eric was truly considering the Demon King's words, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
Qinuo didn't know about the billionaires' secret schemes, nor did he care to know. He idly went to the school with Venom and Pamela to pick up Damian.
Among the crowd of parents picking up their children from school, Qinuo stood out remarkably.
His tall and upright figure, extraordinarily handsome face, and unique demeanor made him particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
The school bell rang, and little sprouts cheered and ran out one by one.
"Qinuo, can we secretly take two back to play with?" Venom asked with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
"No."
"Alright."
"Venom Sister, Damian is out."
Pamela's words attracted Venom's attention.
Damian and Xiaoyu walked out together and immediately saw Venom rushing over.
A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Little cutie, did you miss me?" Venom said cheerfully, her face beaming with a warm smile.
"Of course, Mom Venom."
Damian replied obediently. Although there was a hint of perfunctoriness in his tone, it still made Venom overjoyed.
"Wow!"
Xiaoyu was startled. She widened her eyes, watching the usually cool Damian being held like a doll in the beautiful sister's arms.
This scene amused her greatly, and she couldn't help but giggle.
Qinuo and Pamela also walked over and saw Xiaoyu.
Qinuo half-squatted, extended his hand to Xiaoyu, and said with a gentle smile, "Hello, little miss, are you Damian's friend?"
Xiaoyu looked at this handsome big brother, her eyes also a little surprised, then she extended her small hand and shook his.
"Yes, I'm Damian's best friend." Xiaoyu replied crisply, her voice full of childlike innocence.
"Then you're really amazing. I thought with Damian's awkward personality, he wouldn't make any friends this semester." Qinuo said with a teasing smile.
