As the words fell, Blink suddenly opened a portal. She glanced at Su Zhan, her eyes a little provocative.
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
Su Zhan sneered. It was clear the other party was coming for him, and even if there was a trap, he had to go.
Jumping into the portal, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
He appeared in a room, tastefully furnished. On a soft leather sofa, a blonde woman was holding a wine glass, smiling at Su Zhan. Behind her stood a red-skinned man.
Behind Su Zhan, near the door, another man leaned against the wall.
Long, shoulder-length hair, eyes blackened around, casually playing with two short daggers in his hands, looking a bit unconventional, and also quite cold!
"Welcome to Hellfire!"
The blonde woman raised her glass and said with a smile to Su Zhan.
Hellfire Club?
Su Zhan was slightly surprised. The Hellfire Club was a relatively famous and powerful organization among Mutants. Unlike the X-Men, who sought peaceful coexistence with humans, and the Mutant Brotherhood, who aimed to conquer Earth and have Mutants rule humans, the Hellfire Club took an elite route, developing on their own. They weren't low-key, but not overly high-profile either.
Looking at the blonde woman in white clothes in front of him, Su Zhan already knew who she was.
His gaze swept around, and Su Zhan named them one by one: "White Queen, Red Devil, and that one… is Conduit, right?"
"It seems you know Hellfire very well? That's even better. Actually, the purpose of inviting you here is to hope that you can join the Hellfire Club!" the White Queen said with a smile.
Su Zhan pouted: "You control my people to invite me? This kind of invitation is really sincere enough!"
"I can't help it. Who doesn't know that you, Su Zhan, are not to be trifled with? I don't want to send people to their deaths like Magneto." The White Queen lazily brushed her hair back and pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down, I have no intention of fighting you!"
"Is that so? Then you still plan to Mind Control me?" Su Zhan sneered, walked over, and sat down.
Just now, he felt a mental force surge into his mind, but it was blocked by the lantern ring's mental barrier. Clearly, the White Queen had just tried to Mind Control him!
"I was just trying, although I knew it was unlikely to succeed!" The White Queen didn't deny it, her frankness as if she had only done a trivial matter.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of going to such great lengths to bring me here!"
"To invite you to join the Hellfire Club!"
"And why? Although you also recruit some non-Mutants, why invite me? Most importantly… why should I join?" Su Zhan said indifferently.
"Actually, I've been paying attention to you since you devoured Pyro's Ability. At first, I thought you were also a Mutant, but later, when you devoured Human Torch's Ability from the Fantastic Four, I realized you were not a Mutant. Your Ability is very strong, very terrifying, so terrifying that it's enough to make everyone fear you, wishing they could eliminate you, only then can they ensure their own safety. The reason you are still so stable now is partly because of your strength, and partly because of your actions. However, that's only for now. Once everyone figures out your strength, someone will naturally make a move. For example… Magneto!"
The White Queen's words made Su Zhan slightly purse his lips. He certainly knew this point. A person who could devour others' Abilities would definitely make everyone fearful and scared. If it were him, if he had the chance or confidence, he would also eliminate them. However, Su Zhan was not worried.
"So what? My strength isn't that easy to figure out!" Su Zhan said indifferently.
"That's right, I believe you will become stronger and stronger, and precisely because of this, I want you to join the Hellfire Club. I can help you reduce trouble and provide you with assistance." The White Queen said seriously: "Whatever kind of Ability you need, I can help you find it. Believe me, with my help, you can become stronger in a short time!"
"Sounds good, but there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you help me so much, what do I have to pay?" Su Zhan asked.
The White Queen shook her head and said: "No, you don't need to pay anything. As long as you guarantee the safety and development of Hellfire after you become strong, that's enough… For you, it's just a small effort, isn't it?"
Chapter 0083: Who Can't Use Mind Control?
Does Hellfire still need others' help and protection?
Su Zhan raised an eyebrow slightly. The conditions the White Queen offered seemed very good, even selfless. With the resources of the Hellfire Club, she could get him any Ability he needed, and he wouldn't even have to show his face, reducing a lot of trouble. All he had to do was lend a hand when the Hellfire Club encountered trouble.
At first glance, it seemed like he was getting a huge bargain.
But in reality?
The White Queen was not a simple woman. Without the Black King, she supported the Hellfire Club alone, and not only did it not decline, but it developed very well, which showed her methods and Ability!
"It's not easy for a woman to support such a large club. I'm very tired… Of course, I hope to get help." The White Queen sighed: "But with you, it will be different. Although there might be some initial trouble, once we get through it, and your strength grows, no one will dare to provoke you, and as the club that provided you with help, I think… you shouldn't treat us badly, right?"
"A very adventurous decision!"
Su Zhan somewhat admired her. Regardless of whether what she said was true or false, she would definitely have to bear pressure from all sides. Others aside, Magneto would certainly be the first to react, right?
"So, you agree to join?"
The White Queen asked excitedly.
Su Zhan smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm not interested in joining."
"Why?" The White Queen was a bit puzzled. The conditions she offered were already very good, weren't they? Helping him solve problems, helping him improve his strength, how could he not agree?
"Because your so-called conditions, or benefits, hold no attraction for me at all, and… I don't need a woman's protection either. If anyone wants to come find trouble with me, then let them come! I will let them know the consequences of doing so! As for Ability? I have my own channels, and I don't need your help!"
As Su Zhan spoke, he slowly stood up, glanced at Blink, who had been standing by the side, and asked the White Queen: "You can release your control now, right?"
The White Queen shrugged, and Blink instantly returned to normal, looking around in confusion. "Boss? You're here? Where is this?"
"I'll tell you later." Su Zhan shook his head at her, then slowly said: "There's an old Chinese saying: 'Even if a deal isn't made, goodwill remains.' Although we won't cooperate, I think… you'd be very willing to toast me with a drink, right?"
The White Queen was about to speak when she suddenly noticed Su Zhan's eyeballs had turned black. At that instant, she suddenly had a bad premonition and instinctively prepared to turn into diamond, but suddenly lost consciousness. She stood up, poured Su Zhan a glass of wine, and walked over to him.
"Just like this? It doesn't seem very sincere. I heard there's a very interesting way to drink. How about you hold the wine in your mouth and then feed it to me?" Su Zhan said with a smile.
"Are you looking for death?"
As Su Zhan's words fell, Red Devil instantly became enraged.
How dare he ask the White Queen to feed him wine with her mouth? This was an insult to the White Queen! With a roar, Red Devil instantly vanished, then reappeared behind Su Zhan. At the same time, Conduit, who was leaning to the side, also moved.
Red Devil was about to make a move when he suddenly saw Su Zhan wave his hand backward. In an instant, a strong gust of wind swept over, directly blowing him away. However, Red Devil reacted very quickly. As soon as he was blown away, he teleported and disappeared, then reappeared from the side.
"Lie down for me!"
As soon as Red Devil appeared, a huge hammer appeared above his head and smashed down directly.
With a loud "bang!", Red Devil was directly smashed to the ground, and immediately after, the hammer instantly transformed into a cage, trapping Red Devil. Red Devil kept teleporting, but found that he couldn't get out, as if he was trapped in this cage, which made him extremely panicked. He had never encountered such a situation, where his teleportation could be confined.
Red Devil's teleportation was different from others. It was somewhat similar to Blink's Ability, but the difference was that Blink directly opened a portal through space-time, while Red Devil first teleported to a special space, somewhat like a transfer station, and then teleported to another place to achieve the effect of instantaneous movement.
He could still reach the transfer station now, but when he came out, he was still in the same place, as if other places were blocked…
Su Zhan turned around and looked at Conduit. He was originally going to rush over and make a move, but Blink on the side was not to be underestimated either. Although she hadn't figured out the situation yet, it was clear that a fight was about to break out.
Throwing out teleportation crystals, Blink made Conduit spin in circles, appearing next to him one moment, and then kicking Conduit into a portal and reappearing elsewhere the next. Conduit had no special Abilities. Simply put, he had super endurance, strength, stamina, etc., similar to Captain America, both being close-combat characters. He seemed to have some sensory Ability, but it had no effect on Blink.
Blink's movements were too fast.
This was also thanks to Blink's training during this period. If it were before she met Su Zhan, her Ability would certainly not have been this strong.
