The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

"Charles Francis Xavier?"

"right!"

At the Hong Kong Island Immigration Department, a staff member looked at the photo on the passport in his hand, and then looked at Lake, who looked unremarkable with a bald head and smiled, and said, "Xavier first..."

Lake corrected: "It's Professor Xavier! You can call me Professor X!"

The staff nodded: "Okay, Professor Xavier, what is your purpose of coming to Hong Kong Island..."

Lake smiled and said, "Travel."

The staff nodded, then glanced at the security signal on the computer, stamped the passport, and then handed the passport to Lake: "I wish you a happy trip."

Lake took the passport: "Thank you, I will. Hong Kong Island is an international city."

out of the airport.

Lake directly reached out to stop a taxi, and after saying the name of a five-star hotel next to Victoria Harbour, he sat in the back seat and closed his eyes.

Originally, Lake was thinking of going straight to Huanglong.

but……

After having Hermione's popular science, it was obvious that if he directly attacked Huanglong like this, the spirit of creation who was homeless after the world was shattered would probably have to hide again.

And once the grass is frightened, the ghost knows when the next encounter will be.

fortunately.

I have a plan B!

The process of checking in at the hotel went smoothly. After Lake swiped the card and pushed the door into the hotel room, he walked straight to the balcony and watched the endless variety of luxury cruise ships and sailboats in Victoria Harbour.

Lake took out the phone from his arms, unlocked it, and opened the call APP specially configured by the red queen.

"Queen Red!"

"coming."

"Laura Crawford, find her number and dial it."

"Hold on!"

Lake didn't want to care about Laura's business at first. Who made Laura scream like an old man after Lake and Hermione got along? A long time ago, he slapped him directly.

But Lake didn't want to do the same thing twice.

Or don't do it.

Do it thoroughly.

If the creation spirit can hook up with any beauty pageant champion, there is no doubt that Lake doesn't need Laura, but in case it fails, in order to ensure 100% success, bring Laura with him. Pull it over so that you don't lose your mind.

After all, in the movie, after the island of Laos, the tomb of Himyhu, which has been bombarded for seven or eight years and has not been found, appears.

Jingle Bell!

Laura, who was about to test the speed with the London newspaper delivery riders, heard the phone ring and pressed her Bluetooth headset: "Hello, this is Laura."

Lake said, "I know where Richard Crawford is."

Laura dared to prepare to kick her feet with a swipe: "What?"

after awhile.

Laura pushed her car directly to the side of the road, took out the phone from her pocket, and took off the headset: "Are you a liar?"

Lake smiled and said, "You can call me Professor X. Richard Crawford is on an island. If you want to see him, come and find me on Hong Kong Island. I happen to be going to that island too."

Paused.

Lake waited until the operation on the Red Queen's side was completed, and said to Laura: "I have already bought the air ticket for you, you can trust me or not, as you are, if you come, when you arrive at Victoria Harbour, just I can be found."

Done.

Lake hung up the phone.

Laura on the streets of London listened to the blind tone on the phone, took off the phone, clicked on a flight ticket text message just passed, and blinked.

next second.

Laura kicked up her bicycle and quickly galloped towards the Crawford Commercial Consortium Building, which had almost become a landmark in London in the distance.

Here on Hong Kong Island.

Lake sat on a seat on the balcony and clicked his chin.

If you can't use your own force value, then, there are not a few mercenaries on the island, how to solve it remains to be pondered.

Come straight to the one billion dollar knife clone and push it over?

Can be yes.

But the ghost knows that the evaluation of this extraordinary ability and perception, how this creation spirit understands, once and for all, Lake does not want to run twice.

If you can't do it yourself, then detain foreign aid.

Use mercenaries against mercenaries.

"Queen Red!"

"here I am."

"Barney Ross, find him."

"it is good."

Barney Ross, a legend in the hiring world, was once a battle-hardened warrior, and the blade on his back seemed to represent all his glory on the battlefield. The good ambassador's revolver made a series of surprise attacks, possessing a strong appeal, and gathered many masters under his command.

A Christmas that is good at throwing knives.

He has an extraordinary tactical mind and an excellent ability to fight 10 against 10 Yin Yang.

Gunnar Jensen, who will see blood when the steel knife is unsheathed.

...

Although this Barney is also surnamed Ross, he has nothing to do with General Ross, it's just a coincidence. However, because of his surname Ross, on some military orders, the army has placed several orders with this [Death Squad] mercenary team. .

Several missions have been completed well. For now, the military has not planned to clean up this death squad that helps them do some secret work.

Mercenaries and killers are not a system.

Lake knows and doesn't know a lot, and considering the group of Holy Trinity mercenaries on the island, in order to prevent someone who doesn't know the basics and pulls their hips directly, it is better to directly look for the strongest once and for all.

turn on computer.

The red queen directly took over the computer. After a while, a video window appeared on the computer screen. On the opposite side, it was Stallone... Bah, it was Barney Ross.

Barney's voice was calm: "Who are you."

Lake didn't pretend: "Charles Francis Xavier, you can call me Professor X, Mr. Ross, I have a list worth ten million and need your help."

"I don't take orders from strangers."

"I know. I learned about you from my friend, Mr. Ross. Maybe, you've heard his name."

"Who."

"Lake Edwin."

"..."

Barney frowned and said, "Major, New York State Department of Homeland?"

Lake nodded: "Yes, does Mr. Ross know him?"

Barney didn't speak.

He signed a confidentiality agreement. After all, the military is looking for confidentiality and loyalty. If it can't be kept secret, what will the military have in the future? What about them?

How much money can you make from taking orders from outside? Military orders, especially the federal army orders, are the dream orders of countless mercenaries.

Seeing this, Lake chuckled: "You can check with Lake Edwin at any time, do you need me to give you his phone number?"

"Need not."

"..."

Barney returned to God and directly rejected Lake's suggestion of providing a phone number: "I need to know the nature of your mission before I can consider whether to take it or not."

Lake thought for a while and said, "Similar to search and rescue."

Oh yes.

He can't spend the money at all.

This operation was a search operation for Lake, but a rescue mission for Laura, the rescue of Richard Crawford, the de facto chairman of the Crawford business consortium, and the small money of ten million for Crawford. It's just a drizzle.

Lake said directly: "Richard Crawford, does Mr. Ross understand this person?"

Barney seemed to look elsewhere, probably searching the Internet: "Richard Crawford disappeared in 1998."

Lake nodded: "Yes, this mission is to rescue Richard Crawford."

By the way, to rescue Richard Crawford, this is more than the employment fee. If he does not pay, who will pay?

Barney frowned and did not express his attitude for the first time.

Lake said directly: "I can pay half of the 10 million employment fee first. You can use this money to purchase weapons or hire some people. The news I received here is that there is another one on that island. The mercenary, their mission conflicts with my search mission, and I need you to clear him."

Looking for someone to do business, Lake never likes to hide and tuck, and engage in mysticism.

Although it was an employment, it was more like a kind of cooperation, cooperation. Naturally, what was required was to be open and honest. Besides, Lake didn't want to wait until he landed on the island to find out that the death squads lacked firepower.

At least until they see Himiko, the death squad can't run out of firepower.

Barney said, "You're honest, Professor Xavier!"

Lake folded his hands: "It's not honest, tell you what to deal with, the more prepared you are, the easier it will be for me to get what I want."

Barney nodded noncommittally: "I need to discuss with my team."

Lake said: "Yes, but I hope as soon as possible. If you accept the order, you need to leave for Hong Kong Island as soon as possible. I believe that you have the resources in this regard. If not, you can tell me."

Seeing this, Barney smiled and said, "If we take the order, there is no place on this earth that we dare not go."

Lake said great, and the video call ended.

Expendables headquarters.

After the video call ended, Barney raised his eyebrows as he watched the five million dollars in the secret account he had cooperated with the military directly after a ding dong sound.

Few people knew about the account, only their business contacts in the military and a few others.

Barney believed Professor X's statement that he knew Lake Edwin at least six times.

after an hour.

Several major mercenaries who received news from Barney came to the headquarters. After Barney finished speaking, the first to speak out was Yin Yang, a Chinese man with extraordinary tactical mind and excellent ability to fight against ten.

Yin Yang looked at Barney: "How much can each of us share this list?"

Xmas couldn't help but said to Yin Yang, "Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you? We only distributed 200,000 yuan to each of us last month. What about your money, Ki has spent so quickly?"

Yin Yang said towards Christmas: "I bought a house and paid a down payment."

Xmas frowned: "What about the rest?"

Yin Yang is a little melancholy: "The rest, slowly pay back, I have divided it for 30 years."

Christmas:"……"
