Chapter 9: [9] Mutants Of Hellfire Club

In front of the Hellfire Club.

Moira walked back with a somewhat frustrated expression.

Just now, after seeing Colonel Henry, the representative of the American military, enter the Hellfire Club, Moira wanted to follow him.

However, as the top club in Las Vegas, the Hellfire Club operates on a membership system.

Moira, being a CIA agent, obviously did not have the money to apply for a membership.

So, she was stopped outside the door.

As for the original plot, where she disguised herself as a dancer and easily blended in?

That's unrealistic—this is the base of the Black King, Sebastian Shaw.

How could it be that easy to infiltrate?

Especially with a telepathic mutant like White Queen Emma present.

"Let's go, Moira. I'll take you in."

Seeing Moira return without success, Brian smiled—it was time to show off.

He then took Moira's right hand directly and led her to the entrance of the Hellfire Club.

"Mr. Brian, please come in."

The security guard at the door smiled in recognition when he saw Brian and personally led him into the Hellfire Club.

Brian's celebrity status from giving "PP" to a hundred women alone wasn't enough to make the security guard so accommodating.

It was because Brian was now a permanent member of the Hellfire Club.

This was a gift from White Queen Emma.

Entering the Hellfire Club so easily made Moira a bit suspicious of Brian.

Facing Moira's doubts, Brian explained calmly:

"Moira, you should have seen how my ability allows me to adapt to size.

Not only do men come here, but some ladies also come here seeking pleasure.

I just happen to be able to satisfy those ladies~

My membership at the Hellfire Club was a generous gift from a beautiful lady."

Brian's explanation made Moira roll her eyes with some contempt.

She did not doubt Brian's words.

Because what Brian said was true—he could really bring women ultimate satisfaction. She has experienced it firsthand.

"Brian, you go and find a way to create a distraction.

I'm going to look for Colonel Henry, who just entered the private room."

After entering the Hellfire Club, Moira gave Brian an order and then blended into the crowd.

Faced with Moira's order, Brian complied without hesitation.

"Hey, girls, your god is back."

Brian opened his arms like a king returning from a triumphant victory.

And the girls who had been dancing with the men, upon hearing Brian's words, immediately abandoned their dance partners and threw themselves into his arms.

"Oh my God, Brian is here."

"Brian's back, and this time I must experience the thrill of the 'Hundred-Slayer'—none of you can compete with me."

In the blink of an eye, Brian was surrounded by a group of beautiful women.

Moira, who was searching for Colonel Henry's location, saw the scene and raised her eyebrows, giving Brian a thumbs up.

With her exceptional agent skills, Moira successfully found the private room where Colonel Henry was and triggered the mechanism to access the secret room behind it.

As soon as she entered the room, Moira heard the conversation coming from behind the bookshelf.

Moira approached the bookshelf and peered through a gap, allowing her to see the reception room beyond.

At this moment, in the reception room:

Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, was sitting leisurely on the sofa, gently swirling a goblet.

Next to him was White Queen Emma.

"Colonel Henry, I need you to place the Jupiter nuclear missile in Cuba."

Sebastian Shaw glanced at Colonel Henry across from him and spoke casually.

"Fuck, Shaw. You're simply a lunatic. Do you want me to become a villain to all of mankind?

If that's the case, our cooperation ends here."

Hearing what Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, had said, Colonel Henry stood up with an expression full of anger.

Although he had dealings with Shaw, he would not become the man who provoked World War III because of it.

Seeing Colonel Henry stand up, Shaw smiled, then gestured to Riptide beside him.

Riptide stood up with a cold expression and raised his hands.

In his palms, two tornadoes grew from small to large, and then he hurled them onto the table.

"What the hell, Shaw, what did you put in my drink?"

Seeing the tornadoes raging in front of him, Colonel Henry was bewildered.

He thought he must have drunk something that caused hallucinations.

But then he was swept up by the tornado and slammed into the wall.

"Colonel Henry, you only have two choices now. Obey my orders and place the Jupiter nuclear missile in Cuba.

Or die."

Sebastian Shaw stood up with a glass of wine, looking down at Colonel Henry, giving him only two choices.

"What are you?"

Colonel Henry, who had collapsed to the ground, looked at Sebastian Shaw in horror and asked loudly.

"As you can see, we are mutants.

We are the next step in human evolution.

Colonel Henry, the world is about to undergo unprecedented changes. Humans, such inferior creatures, will evolve in a nuclear explosion and become one of us," Shaw spoke of his grand plan without hesitation.

This made Moira, who was hiding behind the bookshelf and secretly observing, instantly realize that what Brian had said was true.

Sebastian Shaw was not just a simple mutant. And his true goal was to provoke a nuclear war.

"Brian didn't lie to me; he is trustworthy."

Moira took a deep breath and continued to observe.

As White Queen Emma used her telepathic ability, the terrified Colonel Henry could no longer resist.

"Shaw, our cooperation will continue. I will carry out your orders completely."

Colonel Henry decisively chose to surrender.

No kidding, compared to his own life, being a villain to mankind was a small price to pay.

Moreover, if what Shaw said was true, then maybe after the nuclear war, he too would evolve and become a mutant who has awakened extraordinary abilities?

At that point, he would not only avoid being seen as a villain but might even be viewed as the Messiah ushering in the Mutant era.

A true hero!

"Emma."

Facing Colonel Henry's surrender, Sebastian Shaw didn't express much; he simply turned his head to look at White Queen Emma.

At Shaw's signal, Emma used her telepathic ability to invade Colonel Henry's mind.

Then she gently nodded to Shaw.

"Welcome to the Hellfire Club, Colonel Henry."

Only after confirming that Colonel Henry had truly surrendered did Shaw smile and reach out to pull him up.

"The summit is about to begin. Emma, notify Azazel and have him take Colonel Henry to the summit."

Under Shaw's order, White Queen Emma blew a whistle, and instantly, a red mist appeared beside her.

It was the level 4 mutant of the Hellfire Club.

Azazel, the Red Devil.

His teleportation ability was powerful enough to cover half the earth.

Under Moira's shocked gaze, Azazel grabbed Colonel Henry and disappeared from the room.

"Shaw, a rat has sneaked in."

After everything was over, White Queen Emma glanced in Moira's direction and then spoke up to alert Shaw.

"Who is it?"

Sebastian Shaw frowned and asked.

"A CIA agent."

Emma placed her right hand on her temple and easily read Moira's information.

"Emma, take care of her."

His plan was nearing completion, and this put Shaw in a good mood, so he didn't take the infiltrating Moira seriously.

Just a CIA agent, she could be left to Emma.

"Azazel, take me to Cuba."

Shaw wasn't concerned about Moira; what he really cared about was the smooth initiation of the nuclear war.

Bang.

A red mist appeared once again, and within it, Azazel grabbed Shaw's shoulder and vanished with a teleport.

The entire Hellfire Club was now left with only the level 4 telepathic mutant, Emma.
