Really? That's great!"
Nick Fury was overjoyed. He said, "Hill, you stay here and help me with the meeting. Gentlemen, I'm going to see Professor Charles first."
"You're going to put the fate of the world in the hands of another Mutant?"
Gideon said coldly, "How do you know he's not Mystique's accomplice? I think Professor Charles should be arrested first."
"If he were Mystique's accomplice, we'd all be dead by now, Mr. Director. He's more trustworthy than most humans, including you and me."
Nick Fury snorted, no longer wasting time, and went out to see Professor Charles.
Inside the office, Nick Fury got straight to the point: "Professor, the situation is very critical right now. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise both humans and Mutant will face utter destruction."
"I know."
Professor Charles also didn't waste words. He said, "There are two ways to solve this. One is for me to use the Cerebro to control Raven and the others, but someone is threatening my academy right now, so I can't go back for the time being."
Nick Fury asked, "Professor, are your few students more important than tens of millions of lives?"
"Human lives cannot be measured by quantity."
Professor Charles said, "Besides, we have other ways to solve this without taking risks."
A thought popped into Nick Fury's mind, and Professor Charles sensed it immediately. He said unhappily, "Director Fury, if you really do that, I will leave immediately and not bother with this matter."
"fuck."
Nick Fury couldn't help but curse. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he would never have met Professor Charles in person. He said, "I'll abandon that previous idea, Professor. Is there any other way to solve this damn thing?"
"Find Red Devil and have him teleport me to the Space Station."
Professor Charles said, "Once inside the Space Station, I will immediately control everyone, and then the crisis will naturally be resolved."
Nick Fury's eyes lit up. He asked, "Red Devil, that Mutant who can teleport? Can he teleport to the Space Station?"
"He can teleport across the entire Earth, so he should be able to teleport to the Space Station."
Professor Charles nodded, "The problem now is, how do we catch him? He can teleport, so catching him won't be easy at all."
"There's no need to catch him. We'll contact Black King directly and have him bring Red Devil over."
Nick Fury said, "If Black King doesn't agree, I'll wipe out the Hellfire Club. The whole world is behind me now, so Black King's network means nothing."
Professor Charles was startled, then nodded and said, "I was mistaken. Given Black King's personality, he will definitely bring Red Devil over to help, unless he is willing to give up everything he has now."
"He won't give it up. So-called elite Mutant are more selfish than the last."
Nick Fury sneered, "Without further ado, I'll call Black King immediately. Professor, prepare yourself at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. As soon as Red Devil arrives, you two will act immediately."
After a pause, Nick Fury added, "Don't worry, after the matter is resolved, I will do my best to mitigate the negative impact of this incident on Mutant."
"Thank you."
Professor Charles nodded, his heart filled with weariness. When would these days end? Every time he took a small step forward, the Brotherhood of Mutants would pull him back a big step.
For Mutant to be in their current predicament, humans certainly bore responsibility, but extreme Mutant did as well.
At the Hellfire Club, Black King knew the matter was serious and did not refuse Nick Fury's request. However, he took the opportunity to propose a list of conditions.
Nick Fury said, "I can agree to all these conditions, but you must bring Red Devil over. If you break your word, I will destroy the Hellfire Club."
"Don't worry, Red Devil will be here soon."
Black King, dressed as a high-society gentleman, smiled. Then, he called Red Devil and told him to return to the Hellfire Club for an important discussion.
"I'm very busy right now. If there's anything, just say it over the phone."
Red Devil said while playing cards with Wind Demon—pleasing your Officer was the most important thing.
"It's very important. Just come back first."
Black King said with a hint of dissatisfaction. In the past few months, Red Devil had returned to the club a handful of times and largely ignored his commands. It was clear this guy had a change of heart.
Red Devil said, "Alright, I'll be back after this hand."
"You're playing cards?"
Black King nearly exploded with anger. You'd rather play cards than come back to see your boss? What do you take your boss for?
Red Devil hung up the phone indifferently. The boss he was following now was the Hell Demon King. A mere Black King was nothing?
Red Devil said, "Boss, I'm going back to deal with Black King for a bit. I'll be back to play cards with you all later."
Wind Demon said, "Go ahead, don't rush. We just happen to be looking for someone to give us a massage. We haven't had any enjoyment recently because we've been chasing performance targets."
Water Demon and Earth Demon both nodded in agreement. There was one thing in this world more terrifying than demons: chasing performance targets.
"Looks like I'll be back later."
Red Devil laughed heartily and disappeared in a red mist.
At the Hellfire Club in Las Vegas, Red Devil appeared out of nowhere in front of Black King and asked, "Black King, what's the matter?"
"Of course, it's a big deal."
Black King, with a dark expression, explained the situation. Then he said, "You are to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters immediately and save the world with Professor Charles."
"You want me to save the world?"
Red Devil pointed at himself and asked in astonishment, "Black King, when have you ever seen a Savior with my appearance?"
Looking at the red-skinned demon in front of him, Black King was a bit speechless. He said, "Just go when I tell you to. Don't talk so much nonsense."
"No time. Let the X-Men save the world themselves."
Red Devil flatly refused. Who ever heard of a Hell Demon saving the world? More importantly, his intervention would ruin the BOSS's good plans. At that time, the BOSS would definitely throw him into a volcano and then put an eternal curse on him.
"Red Devil, how dare you."
Black King was already displeased and roared in anger. Immediately after, a surge of psychic energy invaded Red Devil's mind.
Red Devil's expression changed, and he tried to teleport away. Just then, the psychic energy pierced into his consciousness like an awl. He screamed, and his body, which had turned into a red mist, reappeared in the hall.
"White Queen!"
Red Devil clutched his head and asked angrily, "Black King, White Queen, what are you doing?"
The White Queen, a Golden-haired Beauty in a pure white mink coat with an incredibly good figure, walked out from behind and said coldly, "Doing what? Red Devil, that's a question I should be asking you. What exactly do you intend to do? You dare to disobey Black King's orders now?"
"So what?"
Red Devil snorted coldly and used his unique skill—complaining to the BOSS: "BOSS, Black King and White Queen are forcing me to save the world, ruining your good plans."
"Hmm?"
Andrew was a little surprised. He asked, "Forcing you to save the world? Who has such good taste?"
