Asking Immortals: From the Republic of China to Marvel

In the end, he still lived peacefully into the twentieth century, but the difference was whether he was active or forced, free or not...

Although nine out of ten mutant members of the Hellfire Club were lost due to the previous battle with Sithorne, a very small number of those who were not dispatched survived.

Lao Wan will naturally not give up any mutant fighting power, not to mention that the Hellfire Club still has a strong financial position that can be used.

Therefore, even if nine out of ten mutant members are dead, Lao Wan is still not ready to abandon this important organization.

It is unimaginable to know that the Hellfire Club, which was founded by a group of upper-class people in the mid-18th century, has developed into the current resources.

Even in the absence of compatible mutants, the group of ordinary members of the upper class can still gain a foothold in the vampire territory.

After absorbing the mutant members, it has skyrocketed to the top. Even the vampire, the actual controller of Great Britain, dare not stroke the tiger's beard.

It is said that they do not interfere with each other, but in fact, the vampires know that they are outmatched and temporarily avoid the edge. This shows the strength of the Hellfire Club.

As for why Jose Bastian Shaw did not directly wrest Great Britain from the hands of vampires, it was naturally because he had his own considerations.

After all, after the war started, it would be difficult for the Hellfire Club to kill all the vampires in a short period of time.

The biggest possibility is that after taking control, they will probably be harassed by the vampire clan every three days, which will not be worth the gain.

Besides, Sebastian Xiao's ambition is so great that he doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a pool. Wouldn't it be better to have someone in front to attract attention? !

Therefore, although Great Britain is now controlled by vampires, there are actually two forces that are not under its jurisdiction.

The first one is the Hellfire Club, and the second one is the Holy See Knights who combine faith and strength.

As for vampire hunters, they can only be regarded as clowns in Great Britain. The top level is not strong enough and the members are few. They cannot live in the sun as carelessly as the above two forces.

In addition, Lao Wan also specifically investigated the past of the Hellfire Club.

It was discovered that Sebastian and the others did not gain control of the Hellfire Club through physical suppression.

Instead, it is more like placing bets based on one's own strength, thereby gaining the favor of the members of the Hellfire Club, thus providing financial and equipment support.

Moreover, most of those members are not afraid of mutants, and their vigilance during normal meetings is at most a normal reaction to fear of being harmed by powerful mutants in person.

It was as if each of them had the confidence to match the strength of the mutants. From this, Lao Wan also came to the conclusion that the water in this club was very deep.

I'm afraid that except for leaders with both strength and brains like him and Sebastian Xiao, it would be really difficult to have other mutants of average strength join in.

Ahem~ Although it was a bit self-praising, that’s what Lao Wan really thought. In fact, it was exactly as he suspected.

……

About an hour later, Lao Wan and his party arrived at 116 Southampton Street, the brothel where Brooks grew up.

"Knock on the door~"

"Okay, boss!"

"哐哐哐...哐哐哐..."

"..."

With Lao Wan's instruction, Toad stepped forward and knocked on the large iron door of this large two-story building for a long time.

After sending the signal to visit, the four of them, including the driver, waited in silence in front of the door.

When they found the Killing Ghost gang half an hour ago, Lao Wan and his party were almost robbed by this blind little gang.

But fortunately, when Lao Wanyi waved his hand, he twisted the guns of everyone present into a pile of twists, and at the same time, Toad took action and broke the necks of several people.

In the end, the entire Killing Ghost Gang was still unable to withstand the powerful pressure brought by Lao Wan and his party.

It can be said that he answers whatever he asks, and can even draw inferences about other cases. He just barely revealed what color underwear Brooks usually wears, whether he has the habit of picking out his nose, etc...

If Lao Wan hadn't thought of accepting ordinary people as his younger brothers, I'm afraid this Killing Ghost Gang would have accepted them on the spot.

The scene returned to the dilapidated and dark living room on the second floor. Maura Mactaggart and the other three were on guard for the knock on the door.

"someone is coming!"

"Nonsense! Can't you hear such a loud knock?"

"..."

Brooks jumped up from the sofa first, looking a little flustered, but the next moment he was mocked and speechless by Morbius's reply.

After hearing this, Brooks could only respond with a look of resentment, fearing that he was secretly complaining in his heart, "Can you please stop deliberately embarrassing me in front of the goddess?" !

"There are four people, three are extraordinary, and two of them are very strong! At least they are stronger than us! There seems to be a little bit of familiarity with one of them. I don't know if it's an illusion..."

Maura Mactaggart rattled off feedback, but it was separated by the floor and several walls.

It has seriously interfered with her breath sensing, making it impossible for her to accurately obtain the other party's details.

Of course, the sense of familiarity is not an illusion, but refers to Lao Wan's aura.

"What's extraordinary?"

"Extraordinary, extraordinary, beyond ordinary people, like you and me, can you understand?!"

"Eh, uh, uh... I'll understand if you explain it this way~"

"..."

Maura Mactaggart was immediately speechless when she heard such a strange rhetorical question, but she still gave an explanation of the term.

Of course, I was secretly complaining about talking to such a wild extraordinary person without any systematic learning about topics beyond the ordinary level.

Not only do they have no common language, but they also give people an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. Everything has to be explained from scratch, which really makes you exhausted mentally and physically.

This was of course not the first question Brooks asked. Maura Mactaggart had already explained to him a large number of whys.

The wound almost collapsed after not recovering for a whole night. Fortunately, Maura Mactaggart had a good character and cultivation.

Compared with Brooks, Morbius is barely better than Brooks. After all, he is a biochemistry expert, and his understanding ability is backed by knowledge.

"It shouldn't be those dark creatures. Since they didn't break in directly, I think there is still the possibility of dealing with them.

If the purpose of the visitor is unknown, something unexpected might happen. You wait here while I go down to take a look. After all, I am the nominal owner of this property! "

"..."

He looked at the sunlight shining through the curtains and thought to himself that even on such a sunny day, vampires would not dare to chase after such a big sun.

Seeing Morbius's appearance that is different from ordinary people at first glance, he also thought of his physiological reaction to photophobia, and even the half-body bandage of Maura Mactaggart.

Brooks also felt that he was the only one who could handle it, and the two of them could only nod in response.
