The Big Devil in the American Comics World

After chatting with the three cuckoo sisters for a while, Li Xingzhou suddenly asked:

"So, who are the important people who will be attending the reception tonight?"

"It's...the club's new White Emperor."

Sophie glanced at Li Xingzhou cautiously, worried that he would burst into dissatisfaction and leave just like last night - the club had only assigned him a "white knight" position, but today a new "white king" was suddenly introduced. , and even specially invited him to attend the cocktail party for the White Emperor's inauguration, which could easily make him mistakenly believe that the club was demonstrating against him or deliberately humiliating him.

"The new White Emperor? Is he a well-known and powerful mutant?"

Li Xingzhou asked with interest. He smiled when he spoke and did not seem to be dissatisfied.

Seeing his calm reaction, Sophie, Felin, and Esme breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Phoebe explained:

"The White Emperor's appointment was jointly issued by the Black Emperor and the Black Queen. We don't know his specific identity."

Esme continued:

"Li Ang, please believe that this is not against you... In fact, most people in the club, including our three sisters, the White Queen, and even Azazel, did not know that the club had a new White Queen before today. Emperor.”

"Yes, of course I know, you won't target me."

Li Xingzhou said leisurely and took a sip of champagne:

"I'm also looking forward to meeting the mysterious White Emperor..."

When I was talking.

A slender and tall lady, wearing a light golden high-collar evening dress, which was completely covered from her neck to her ankles, only showing a pair of snow-white arms, with a strange dark green shawl hair, a beautiful lady with a slightly unruly smile and eyes. , suddenly came over with a wine glass in hand.

"Sophie, Phoebe, Esme."

She greeted the three cuckoo sisters familiarly, then looked at Li Xingzhou:

"Wouldn't you like to introduce these two?"

"This is Leonardo Victor. This is Miss Green. She is also a senior member of the club."

Sophie introduced both parties:

"Mr. Victor, this is Miss Lorna Dane, nicknamed 'Polaris', and she is also a new member who has just joined the club."

"Polaris" Lorna Dane, Magneto's eldest daughter?

When Japan conquered Green, Green told him that the Black Emperor was planning to conquer a group of persecuted young mutants in the near future, including Magneto's daughter.

Now that Polaris appears at the reception, it seems that the Black Emperor's plan to conquer has been successful.

Li Xingzhou looked at this tall beauty who was over 180cm tall in high heels and no less than 175cm barefoot. He smiled and toasted to her:

"It's an honor to meet you, beautiful Miss Polaris."

Polaris also raised his wine glass and touched it lightly:

"Me too, Mr. Victor."

Li Xingzhou took a sip of wine, looked at Polaris who was also holding up his wine glass and took a sip, and asked with a smile:

"Miss Polaris doesn't seem to be drinking alcohol?"

"Sorry, the wine glass is indeed just pure water." Polaris smiled: "For some special reasons, I can't drink alcohol in the near future."

special reason?

Well, Li Xingzhou knew why.

When Polaris just came over, with his keen sense, he smelled a faint milky fragrance from her body.

Therefore, this young-looking girl already has a child and is currently breastfeeding. For the sake of the baby's health, of course she cannot drink alcohol.

"Mr. Leonardo Victor, although we just met you for the first time today, I have actually heard of your name a long time ago."

Polar Star looked at Li Xingzhou with a somewhat unruly smile and eyes, but it didn't seem to be directed at Li Xingzhou, as if she was born with an unruly temperament:

"According to rumors, you are an extraordinary man with incredible magical powers."

Li Xingzhou asked with interest:

"I asked myself that although I have a small career, I am not actually a famous person in the metropolis of New York. So I am very curious, where did Miss Polaris hear about me?"

Polaris smiled slightly and said lightly:

"We young mutants have a social circle belonging to our peers. Especially young mutants who have been studied as experimental subjects and have suffered various persecutions. Even if they have different ideas and are in different camps, they actually have different opinions in private. Communicate, and even occasionally put aside the opposition between each other's camps and get together as friends..."

Hearing this, Li Xingzhou almost understood.

After Illyana came out of hell, she was deceived by a research institute under the pretext of good intentions, and cooperated with the other party for two or three years of research, where she met many teenage mutant partners. Later, they discovered the conspiracy of the institute, worked together to destroy the institute and escaped.

After that, although Illyana did not join any organization and stayed in Limbo for a long time, she did not lose contact with her friends. Not long ago, when Li Xingzhou accompanied Sever and Vera to Illinois and called her to help with the teleportation due to a plane crash, she was having a party with her friends.

At that time, in order to appease Iliana, Li Xingzhou gave her the "EX Curry Stick" and "Unlimited Sword" bracelets prepared for her in advance. Iliana also said that she would show off in front of her friends.

so……

Is there any Polaris among the friends who attended the party that day?

Or maybe Polaris has a close connection with one of Illyana's friends?

Thinking leisurely in his heart, Li Xingzhou raised his glass with a smile:

"It seems that we have been destined to be together for a long time. Why don't we toast to this wonderful fate?"

Polaris raised the glass of pure water and gently touched his glass:

"Yes, we should toast to this wonderful fate."

They each took a sip. Seeing a hint of fatigue between Polaris's brows, Li Xingzhou smiled and said:

"Miss Polaris, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"

Polaris has been breastfeeding her baby recently and has indeed been a little sleep deprived. Hearing this, she nodded happily and also felt a little fond of Li Xingzhou's attentiveness and thoughtfulness.

At that moment, everyone went to a corner of the hall and found a sofa in a circle to sit down.

As Li Xingzhou's female companion, Green naturally sat next to him.

And Sophie also boldly sat on the other side of Li Xingzhou, intimately next to him.

Phoebe and Esme were a step slower and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

However, they can share perception with their sisters. Sophie is next to Li Xingzhou, which means they are also next to each other. Therefore, after a little annoyance, Phoebe and Esme were relieved and sat on a double sofa.

Polaris sat on the single sofa diagonally opposite Li Xingzhou. As soon as she sat down, she breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a touch of relaxation, and the arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes dissipated a little.

"Mr. Victor..."

"You and I are so young, why should we be so polite? Just call me Leon."

"Okay Leon, you can also call me Luna."

Polaris smiled at the corners of her lips, with curious eyes:

"As far as I know, you are a powerful magician who can make powerful magic props. But I didn't expect that you are actually a mutant."

So you even know that I can make "magic props"?

It seems that you have indeed attended Iliana's friends' party.

Li Xingzhou thought to himself and shrugged his shoulders:

"Yes, I am also a mutant, with the ability to heal and strengthen my body. I am a barbarian in people's stereotypes. I am the kind who is shirtless, wears oil makeup, carries an axe and a sledgehammer, beats my chest muscles and roars in the north wind."

"Barbarian?"

Imagining the scene described by Li Xingzhou, Polaris couldn't help laughing.

The three cuckoo sisters were also amused. Phoebe and Essie hugged each other and laughed. Sophie, who was sitting next to Li Xingzhou, hugged his arm and laughed so hard that her chest pressed against his arm - this was obviously a suspicion of taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Polaris laughed for a while, shook his head and said:

"Your appearance and temperament have nothing to do with that kind of barbarian."

Li Xingzhou spread his hands and acted helpless:

"It's a pity that my mutant ability is like this."

Polaris laughed: "But you are still an excellent magician, aren't you?"

Phoebe said: "Leon's image is indeed more like the mysterious and elegant magician in the legend."

Li Xingzhou laughed: "This is a typical stereotype. In fact, a magician can also hold a staff in one hand and swing a heavy sword in the other hand, slashing and killing on the battlefield, swinging the staff from time to time to smash a few heads."

Several girls covered their mouths and laughed:

"How can there be such a magician..."

That's because you haven't seen Gandalf, the "master of both staff and sword". The old man can fight against the Balrog. Although Gandalf is not a magician in essence, he calls himself a "wizard" when he travels around, right?

Li Xingzhou is always good at communication and communication. Unconsciously, he dominated the rhythm of the chat, chatting lively with Polaris and not ignoring the three cuckoo sisters.

As they chatted, Polaris, like the three cuckoo sisters, unconsciously looked at Li Xingzhou for a long time, paying attention to his every move, and even unconsciously caring about his every change of expression.

When he looked serious, the girls would also be serious and nervous, and when he smiled, the girls would also laugh. When he praised or agreed with someone's opinion, the girl who got his approval would be overjoyed and happy.

And when he expressed his opinion, Polaris and the three cuckoo sisters would always listen attentively, afraid of missing every word he said.

Until a warm applause sounded in the hall, Li Xingzhou stopped talking, stood up and looked in the direction where everyone in the hall was heading, Polaris and the three cuckoo sisters came back to their senses.

"The White Emperor is here!"

The three cuckoo sisters stood up and looked in the direction Li Xingzhou was looking.

Polaris also stood up, and reluctantly moved her eyes away from Li Xingzhou, feeling more relaxed than ever before. The fatigue from lack of sleep for a long time seemed to have dissipated a lot, but then she felt a panic again:

The rumors were indeed true, Leonardo Victor was indeed an extraordinary man, and he did have incredible magic.

Just sitting down and chatting for a while, she was attracted by him and even had a good impression of him!

This is simply terrible!

A deep sense of guilt surged in Polaris's heart.

Although she has not married yet, she has a child with her boyfriend. Although the two have parted ways because of ideological issues, the baby is still breastfeeding, how can she...

Looking at Li Xingzhou's back, Polaris's mood is extremely complicated.

She took the initiative to come over to greet the Cuckoo Sisters and get to know Li Xingzhou, just because she had just joined the Hellfire Club and wanted to know more mutant companions.

After knowing Li Xingzhou's identity, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about him.

She had indeed attended the party organized by Iliana, and had heard the name "Leonardo Victor" from Iliana, and had also seen the two powerful magic props that Iliana showed off.

So in her heart, she still had a little intention of asking Li Xingzhou for help - her three-month-old daughter "Chenxi" was a mutant who was born with awakened mutant genes.

But the baby obviously couldn't control her superpowers.

Chenxi's ability to lose control from time to time caused a lot of trouble for Polaris's daily life, so that the mother and daughter had to live in a special room, and she had to spend a lot of time and energy every day to comfort her daughter, and the total sleep time every night could not exceed three hours.

The Cuckoo Sisters did suggest that they could use their psychic abilities to help comfort the baby and ensure that the baby could sleep all night without crying or making trouble, but Polaris was worried that the psychic ability would cause damage to the baby's brain, so she declined their help.

In fact, there is another instrument that can also solve this problem. It is a kind of collar that Polaris and her friends were forced to wear when they were persecuted.

That kind of "mutant suppression collar" can suppress the mutant's X gene, making it impossible for the mutant to exert superpowers. With the power of the Hellfire Club, it is also possible to get that kind of instrument.

But that kind of instrument has radiation, which is a special radiation specifically targeting the X gene to suppress the mutant's superpowers. This will inevitably cause a heavy burden or even harm to the baby's body.

Besides, Polaris has a serious psychological shadow on this kind of instrument. She never wants her daughter to wear the instrument that represents oppression and harm to mutants since she was a child, even if it is to help her.

But the trouble cannot be solved, otherwise Polaris is worried that she will have a mental breakdown. So after meeting Li Xingzhou and knowing that he is the powerful magician who helped Iliana create the two magic props, Polaris had a vague idea.

She hopes to ask Li Xingzhou to help create a magic prop. It doesn't need to have a very powerful ability, just to help restrain her daughter's superpowers that get out of control from time to time.

In fact, when Iliana talked about "Leonardo Victor", she also warned her friends:

"Be careful, that is a succubus in human skin. He has incredible magic power, which can make any woman who is favored by him fall hopelessly in love with him. Even knowing his evil and terror, they can't get rid of him with reason and perseverance...

"Me? Of course I won't fall. I am the invincible queen of hell. I have even reserved his soul and am waiting for him to fall into hell. This pair of bracelets is just his bribe to me, begging me to show leniency to him. But you know, I am an iron-faced person and will definitely not let him go just because of this bribe...

"Anyway, the reason why I told you all this is that I am worried that one of you will meet him one day and be favored by him. The ending will probably be very tragic..."

Polaris is rebellious by nature. She didn't believe Iliana's words at all and thought she was exaggerating.

Even after meeting Li Xingzhou, she didn't take Iliana's warning to heart.

Indeed, Leonardo Victor is an excellent man, handsome, tall and perfect, elegant and charming, and gentle and considerate. He is also powerful, young and rich.

Such a man, although very charming, should not be considered a "succubus in human skin", right?

In short, Polaris is very confident in herself and does not believe that any man can easily fascinate her, even if he is as excellent as Leonardo Victor - she is not an innocent girl who is ignorant of the world. She has experienced many dark and cruel realities, has had a boyfriend, and even has a child. How could she be easily moved like those superficial girls who are obsessed with handsome guys?

But the cruel facts made her panic.

She didn't even drink wine, but just chatted with Leonardo for a while. Unconsciously, she couldn't help but want to pay attention to his every move. He could make her laugh with a joke, and a casual compliment could make her secretly happy.

When the chat was interrupted by applause in the hall, she even felt a burst of anger in her heart for no reason. She felt annoyed that her good time was interrupted. She wanted to activate her superpowers on the spot, destroy all the electrical appliances in the hall, and then continue to whisper with him in the dark.

This mentality was obviously out of control.

Polaris really believed Iliana's warning.

"This man is indeed a succubus in human skin... Fortunately, he hasn't fallen too deep, and there is still a chance to save him..."

Polaris pressed her slightly swollen chest, muttered to herself, and moved her eyes away from Li Xingzhou's back with difficulty, looking at the group of people who walked into the reception hall amid warm applause.

Among the five people who came in, Polaris knew four of them.

Emma Frost, the White Queen, who was wearing a white windbreaker, less than 1.7 meters tall, but had a strong aura, like a noble queen.

Azazel, the "Red Devil" with red skin, tall and burly, gave people a sense of danger and evil.

"Turbulence" Genos Quisti, who is dressed neatly in a suit, handsome and gentlemanly.

"Angel" Salvatore, who is dressed in a backless dress and has insect-wing tattoos on his back and shoulders.

These four are the core senior members of the Hellfire Club, and all have strong strength.

Surrounded by four people was a tall, blond man in his thirties with slicked-back hair, wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses.

Polaris had never seen the blond man before. Judging from the expressions of the Cuckoo Sisters and Green, it seemed that as senior core members of the club, they had seen the blond man for the first time and did not recognize him.

However, since he appeared on the stage surrounded by the White Queen, Red Devil, Riptide, and Angel, and the audience applauded as soon as he entered the stadium, that strange blond man should be the new "White Emperor" of the club.

The new White Emperor, surrounded by the four White Queens, strode into the hall, came to the main seat of the reception hall, and faced everyone in the hall.

The White Queen raised her hand slightly, and the applause gradually stopped.

She took a step forward and looked around at the guests in the hall. When her eyes fell on Li Xingzhou, she paused briefly, gave him an apologetic look, and then announced loudly:

"Comrades of the Hellfire Club, please allow me to introduce to you - this person is the new White Emperor jointly appointed by the Black Emperor and the Black Queen, Albert Wesker!"

In the hall, there was another warm applause.

Li Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Albert Wesker?

The remnants of the Umbrella Corporation?

Could it be that……

Did Isaacs get the biochemical virus from him, which caused the zombie crisis that destroyed a secret base in Seve?

But isn’t Wesker a biochemical virus-enhanced person?

He is not a mutant. With his intelligence and strength, he is certainly qualified to join the Hellfire Club, but the core members of the club who can hold the title of chess must be mutants.

So how did Wesker get into the core of the Hellfire Club and be jointly appointed as the "White Emperor" by the Black Emperor and the Black Queen?

Just when I was curious.

The new White Emperor named "Albert Wesker" took a step forward, took off his sunglasses, and looked around the hall with his cold eyes. Wherever he looked, he saw almost every member of the club, whether he was worth billions or powerful. Ordinary humans and mutants with powerful superpowers all felt an invisible pressure coming towards them.

Under this invisible pressure, many people even felt a trace of fear in their hearts, feeling as if they were facing a cold and powerful tyrant. Driven by instinctive fear, many people couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look directly at Wesker. The warm applause in the hall disappeared instantly under Wesker's eyes, and the hall became silent for a moment.

Of course, Li Xingzhou also felt this invisible pressure.

What made him curious was that this pressure was actually a kind of pressure originating from the "soul essence".

In other words, this is not a psychic ability or spiritual ability, but a pure "personality" oppression.

It seems that the "Albert Wesker" that Li Xingzhou is familiar with has a soul essence that far exceeds that of humans and even mutants. When ordinary people face him, they are like facing a giant dragon, and their instincts are to be "terrible". "Dragon's prestige" is also commonly known as "Dragon's prestige".

But Wesker is obviously a virus-enhanced person, and his soul essence should not be much different from that of ordinary people, let alone such a gap in personality...

So, did he get any adventure after narrowly escaping from death in the battle where SHIELD destroyed Umbrella Corporation three years ago?

Of course, Wesker's invisible majesty would not have any effect on Li Xingzhou.

He even still had the strength to protect Green around him and Polaris, who had no psychic barrier.

As for the three cuckoo sisters, their combined spiritual power is not even weaker than that of the White Queen, so naturally they will not be intimidated by the invisible pressure.

After the hall became silent, Wesker finally spoke and said slowly in a deep and strong voice:

"This is a world where the weak eat the strong. The strong rule everything of course, and the weak are only worthy of dedicating their wealth and flesh and blood to the strong. It is an honor that the Hellfire Club is the alliance of the strong. It is an honor that I can be a member of the club. "

He took the glass of strong wine handed by Angel Salvador, raised it high, and said in a deep voice:

"Respect the strong and powerful, respect wealth and power!"

Everyone in the hall raised their glasses in unison:

"Respect the strong and powerful, respect wealth and power!"

After a brief speech, the new White Emperor Wesker, who had just appeared, did not stay in the hall. He quickly went to a side hall and met with qualified club members one by one.

Li Xingzhou noticed that the club members he met, whether they were ordinary people or mutants, no matter how fearful and uneasy they were before entering, they all looked excited and uncontrollably excited when they came out.

He even felt a certain emotion called "loyalty" from those people. It seemed that just a few minutes of meeting was enough for those members to show their loyalty to the new White Emperor.

This made Li Xingzhou very curious.

Is Wesker so good at communication?

Or, what great benefits did he promise that would make people instantly convinced of him?

When I was thinking about it, I heard Sophie say:

"The White Emperor gives me a very strange feeling..."

Phoebe continued:

"Yes, that's a scary guy. When I looked at him before, I felt like I was looking at a legendary evil dragon. Although I wasn't afraid, I still felt pressure."

"This guy is probably stronger than the Black Emperor." Esme was a little puzzled: "Given the personalities of the Black Emperor and the Black Queen, how could they accept such a guy? Could it be that he has a bargaining chip that the Black Emperor and the Black Queen cannot refuse?"

"He will probably meet us later." Sophie said: "Everyone who has been received by him seems to have been conquered by him... Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Not everyone has been conquered. The attitude of the White Queen and the Red Devil towards him is very normal." Phoebe folded her arms and laughed softly: "And we are not simple-minded little girls. We will not be bought by the benefits he promised, let alone brainwashed."

When she said this, she looked at Li Xingzhou, as if to make a promise to him.

Sophie and Esme also looked at Li Xingzhou at the same time and nodded:

"Yes, we will not easily surrender to a new White Emperor. We don't even know him very well. It was not easy for us to escape the fate of being controlled and enslaved. Now, no one can control us from above."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, raised his glass and said:

"To freedom."

The three sisters raised their glasses at the same time and smiled sweetly at him:

"To freedom."

The four of them drank a glass. When Sophie was about to ask Li Xingzhou about his opinion on Wesker, Polaris suddenly said:

"That...Leon, can you please do me a favor?"

Although she had realized the danger of Leonardo and felt that contacting him again might end badly, for the sake of the baby, Polaris had to bite the bullet and continue to talk to him.

She was still comforting herself in her heart:

Since she had realized how terrible he was, as long as she remained sober and vigilant enough in the next contact, she should not get deeper and deeper.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Li Xingzhou smiled and said:

"Lorna, we are already friends, aren't we?"

Damn, it's this kind of elegant and charming smile again, and the voice is so soft and magnetic, it's so touching!

Can't you learn from that Wesker, with a stern face and a cool temperament, and a low and majestic voice?

Polaris shouted in her heart, but said:

"It's like this, I have a daughter who is just three months old... She is a natural mutant and awakened superpowers not long after she was born. But you know, babies don't know how to control their abilities, so... I want to ask you to help me create a magic prop that can suppress her abilities but will not affect her body, especially her brain."

After making the request, she stared at Li Xingzhou nervously and added:

"I know this request is very presumptuous, after all, we just met today... But I really have no other way. Li Ang, for Iliana's sake, can you help me? If you help me, I will definitely do my best to repay you."

"You know Iliana?" Li Xingzhou made a look of realization: "No wonder you know that I am a magician and that I can create magic props."

"Li Ang, I..."

Li Xingzhou waved his hand to stop Polaris from talking, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, even if you and Iliana don't know each other, I will help you. I said, we are already friends. Friends should help each other."

Polaris showed gratitude, and the rebellious nature between his eyebrows became much calmer, and he thanked him repeatedly:

"Thank you, Li Ang, thank you very much..."

"No need to thank you first." Li Xingzhou said seriously: "I can't guarantee that I will succeed for the time being. Then, can you tell me about your daughter's ability? What kind of ability is it? How strong is it?"

Polaris said: "My daughter can control magnetic fields, manipulate metals, and launch electromagnetic pulses to cause electrical appliances to short-circuit and burn. She can also unconsciously create unstable force fields, causing people and objects to lose weight or suddenly bear several times the gravity..."

"Very powerful ability." Li Xingzhou praised.

"It's also dangerous." Polaris looked helpless: "I can place her in an environment without metal and electrical appliances, but her ability to create unstable force fields is really unrestricted."

Li Xingzhou smiled:

"Yes, an uncontrolled unstable force field will not only hurt others, but also the baby's own fragile body. This ability is indeed dangerous and must be suppressed."

Hearing what he said, Polaris couldn't help but stare at him intently, her eyes full of expectation.

"I have a rough idea of ​​your daughter's ability, and I have a plan for refining it."

Li Xingzhou gave Polaris a comforting smile and said:

"It will take at most two days. After two days, you can contact Green and ask her to take you to me. By the way, don't forget to bring your daughter with you."

Polaris breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Li Xingzhou. This smile was very sincere and sweet:

"Thank you, Li Ang, thank you so much!"

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly and said leisurely:

"You're welcome, we are friends, aren't we?"

He joked again:

"But, Luna, you can now start thinking about how to repay me after successfully solving your daughter's troubles. I am looking forward to it."

Repay?

Polaris was slightly startled. She has nothing now, and even her life depends on the funding of the Hellfire Club. If she wants to repay him, it seems that she can only...

Thinking of some indescribable scenes, Polaris's cheeks couldn't help but heat up slightly, and a blush appeared on them - she had repeatedly warned herself to be highly vigilant against this man who even the Queen of Hell claimed was extremely dangerous, but the other party just made a joke and easily disturbed her heartstrings.

Speaking of which, Polaris was originally an emotionally unstable and highly sensitive girl. Recently, she was overwhelmed by her daughter's affairs. She slept less than three hours a day on average, and her emotions became more unstable and her mind became more sensitive.

In this state, she was most susceptible to external demons.

Even though Li Xingzhou had been very restrained today, his powerful soul was like the sun. Even if he did nothing and just existed quietly, everything close to him would be captured by gravity and burned by the sun.

Just when Polaris was at a loss of what to do, the White Queen came over and said to Li Xingzhou:

"Mr. Leonardo Victor, the White Emperor wants to see you and talk to you about joining the Hellfire Club. Do you have time?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:

"Of course. I just want to meet the new White Emperor alone."

He nodded to Polaris and the Cuckoo Sisters, got up and left with the White Queen.

As Li Xingzhou left, Polaris finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed temporarily.

But when she thought about how she would repay Leonardo two days later if he really solved her daughter's troubles, Miss Polaris, who had always acted decisively, couldn't help but fall into deep entanglement again...

Please vote for me!
