The Wizard of Asgard

Chapter 65 Acquiring the Hellfire Club

Edith closed the printing factory smoothly. She used the house collapse spell, causing all the buildings in the printing factory to collapse to the ground.

"Let's go." Edith turned her back, and she brought all the mutants safely to the street. She didn't look back, and decided to go the opposite direction. Even though Shi Darui tried to persuade her to stay behind, she didn't stay.

Edith came to the Hellfire Club. Following the route given by Deadpool at the beginning, it was not difficult to find it, but Edith didn't expect that this bar was just a branch of the club.

"Mrs. Smith?" Edith stared at the old lady in white who was dancing on the dance floor. The old woman gave her a suspicious look, stopped her twisting dance, and stood still and rubbed her skirt a little cautiously. ,

"I'm coming to the head of the club."

The old lady shook her hand: "I don't know, you can find someone else!"

After speaking, he ran away like flying.

Edith shifted her gaze and looked in all directions. The layout was still the same as a few years ago. The neon lights above her head were spinning rapidly, and the colorful lights fell on the surrounding reliefs and marble floors.

It's just that there are very few people dancing today.

"Save some snacks!" The bartender at the bar came over with his hips akimbo, holding a glass of seductively colored cocktail in his right hand, and wrapped it around Edith's ear, "The person you are looking for is not here."

"You know who I'm looking for?" Edith looked at him.

The bartender smiled charmingly. Of course he knew this woman. He came to the club with Deadpool a few years ago, but he did nothing, stooped and entered the secret compartment in the toilet.

"You must know where the person in charge is!" Edith squinted her eyes, and she blew lightly on the man. The little brother's face was gradually blurred in the blue smoke, and all his memories poured out and spread around. Like slides one after another, he wanted to reach out and grab those memories, his fingertips pierced through the thin slides as if soaked in a lake, making ripples circle after circle, and he couldn't grasp them no matter what.

It wasn't until the cocktail fell to the ground and shattered that the little brother came back to his senses, stroked his cheek, and shouted in a daze, "What did you do to me?"

Edith turned around, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Thank you for your memory."

In the next second, the figure disappeared.

As far as I can remember, the younger brother has only been to the headquarters twice, once to report a mission with the boss of the branch, and once to receive the killing reward alone.

That's right, the Hellfire Club is the most powerful and powerful international organization in the world, and it is mainly controlled by some mutants who feel that their mutant abilities and social status are far superior to ordinary people.

And the upper-class aristocrats inside are ruthless and unruffled.

Once just an abandoned church, the Hellfire Club became the official residence of the Hellfire Club on what is now Fifth Avenue on the east side of Manhattan, just a few blocks from the Avengers headquarters.

After several years of change in the club, there have been many leaders, including Magneto, but because of disagreement, Magneto left Hellfire and re-established the Brotherhood.

And these did not affect the purpose of Edith's trip.

But all of this changed after Edith entered.

"Welcome!" Unanimous crisp voices sounded from not far away, and Edith looked up at the gate, where three young girls sat on the desk in the security room, crossing their legs and waving to her.

Two of them walked over lightly, and held her arms skillfully as if they saw acquaintances.

"I've always wanted to see you, Miss Edith." The three women who looked exactly the same said with a smile. They grinned happily, and a beautiful blue light flashed in the light blue eyeballs. And shook his head to the other two with a helpless expression.

"I know you?" Edith gasped, and did not refuse their sudden enthusiasm, as if the ducks on the chopping board were at the mercy of others.

No, Edith is not a duck, she knows who these people are very well, but she just pretends to be puzzled on the surface.

"Celeste!"

"Esme!"

"Sophie!"

The three women tilted their heads and laughed in unison.

"But I prefer to be called the Three Cuckoo Sisters."

Edith shook off their hands. Although they were very strong, Edith could easily break free from their restraints without chanting spells. This dealt a heavy blow to the three cuckoo sisters.

"Wow, the rumored Miss Edith is really amazing!" Celeste clapped her hands and exclaimed excitedly.

But Edith didn't like this, and said coldly, "What can I do for you?"

Esme replied mercilessly: "It's not so much that I'm looking for you, it's better to say that you're looking for the Hellfire Club!"

Esme opened a way, and the noble mansion of the Hellfire Club came into view. The jade angel stone statues were located at both ends of the gate, and the avenue paved with golden velvet carpet was underneath. The mansion is a combination of Chinese-style courtyards, and the white marble from Greece is piled up to form a huge fountain in the center. Crystal water droplets splash on the surrounding roses, shining charmingly in the sun.

"Why don't you come in and sit down? Miss Edith." The three sisters shook their heads, and there was an unquestionable invitation in their eyes.

Edith followed them into the mansion, and what she saw at a glance was the extremely luxurious hall. The complicated lighting gave off a cold light, and the high walls on all sides cast dark shadows on the soft carpet. In the long and deserted corridor, the eyes of the characters in the oil paintings on the two walls seem to be able to grab people's hearts, staring straight at these four people.

"Here we are." Celeste looked at her happily, bowed and gestured to invite her in.

"Oh, Miss Edith probably doesn't know there's a fraud in it, don't worry! We're not man-eating monsters!" Esme tilted her head and looked at her with a smile.

Edith didn't like this kind of look, as if she could see through people's clothes and see through the heart, and expose everything about you to these people's eyes. She didn't say anything more, opened the door and walked in.

It was pitch black inside, so no progress was made. The door closed slowly. Of course, Edith would not turn around and knock on the door like the heroine in a horror movie. She just turned her body sideways and kept her back against the wall. Go inside little by little.

She smelled the breath of living people and overwhelming perfume.

"Oh, Miss Edith, a former member of the Avengers, a former X-Men student, and a mutant who wanted to be recruited into the Brotherhood by Eric." The glittering chandelier above her head was instantly turned on, and Edith The entire face was exposed under the huge light.

After a while, until she could get used to the harsh light, she opened her eyes and saw the face less than a foot away from her.

It turned out that the overwhelming smell of perfume came from her body!

Edith frowned, she wanted to take a few steps back, but her back leaned against the thick wall, and she realized that she had no way to retreat.

The woman in front of me is the leader of the Hellfire Club, who is in charge of the nobles of the upper class in Europe. Her name is the Black Queen.

The bartender at the bar only saw her once, and it was in the portrait. She pursed her lips, squinted at Edith with a smile, and her thick golden wavy long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. The pink and purple ultra-short shawl jacket further accentuated her tall figure. On the white and tender thighs was a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt, which was matched with a pair of black high boots.

But she had a filter cigarette in her mouth, and she blew on it lightly, spit it on Edith's face, and the smoke was lingering.

Edith turned her face away. Cigarettes do smell good, but too much can easily dizzy the mind.

"May I ask what your order is here?" The Black Queen looked at her with a smile.

"I want to buy the Hellfire Club."

The Black Queen froze for a moment, then pursed her lips into a snicker, and finally burst out laughing, even rolling on the ground laughing regardless of her image.

After laughing, she looked at Edith with a different kind of blush on her face: "Although I respect you for being a role model for mutants, you can't solve the acquisition with a single word."

The Black Queen's cool fingers caressed Edith's fair shoulders, breathed like an orchid, and said: "No, even if you have money, you can't do it!"

Edith closed her eyes, the Avengers are dead in name only, Steve can't come back, and the Muggle government can't sit still, what else can save the dwindling mutant population right now?

There was a cunning flash in her eyes, she knew that the woman in front of her was a ruthless mutant, she had the mutant ability to take away other people's lives, even a kiss could make a person completely disappear from the world, so she relied on this method Only after capturing all the male leaders of the club except Magneto can he sit in today's position.

Seeing the woman's face getting closer and closer, the Black Queen suddenly said: "You said, if I kill you now, will the Avengers fight for me?"

Edith squeezed her fists, and the woman grinned again: "Are you scared? You are just kidding, little girl. After all, Miss Edith, you are an alpha-level mutant who once destroyed the code-named prison C. No one can do anything against you? Besides, I don't want to be Thor's enemy."

But as soon as the words fell, the woman kissed her lips, and Edith opened her eyes wide. She watched her body gradually disappear.

The Black Queen left her lips, looked coldly at Edith who was disappearing, smoked the cigarette in her hand again, and gave her a cold look: "If I kill you, no one will stop my plan."

"So, what's your plan?" In one sentence, the Black Queen froze in place. She turned her face and saw Edith standing behind her intact, and the disappearing figure disappeared in a blink of an eye. Silk's Phantom!

The Black Queen was taken aback, it was never shown in the information that she could be blindfolded!

"That's not a blindfold, it's my copying spell." Edith looked at her coldly.

What the Black Queen heard and felt could not be controlled, and Edith laughed again: "This is also our Hogwarts spell. Although it is not as practical as Veritaserum, it is enough to deal with you."

"What do you want to do?" The Black Queen stared wide-eyed, her eye makeup was messed up, and her whole face looked like a giant panda, which made people who saw it feel ridiculous, but Edith didn't want to laugh, she spit out Blue smoke, in the misty smoke, the Black Queen closed her eyes.

Edith used Legilimency to access her memories.

After a long time, when the Black Queen woke up, she found that her hands and legs were bound, and the ropes that bound her were like glowing iron chains. She didn't know what material it was made of, but she couldn't break free no matter what.

It wasn't until the siren sounded downstairs that the Black Queen burst into desperate cries.

"No, what did you do to me!"

"Principal Dumbledore has a pensieve, but when we were in class, Professor McGonagall also taught us to make a memory pillow, store all your memories in the memory pillow for a short time, hold it to sleep every night, you will think of all the past The things you have experienced, all the memories of your whole life are stored in the memory pillow, when you want to miss something, put the pillow to sleep, and you will dream about those things."

Edith smiled while hugging a brown pillow on the sofa.

Sensing that the Black Queen was staring vigilantly at the pillow in her arms, Edith suddenly threw away the pillow, and the Black Queen's eyes followed the pillow to the ground. Edith stepped on the pillow and said condescendingly: "It's very Sorry, this is not the memory pillow, I sent your memory pillow to the police station."

The Black Queen gritted her teeth and said, "You really did something to me!"

The police had arrived at the mansion, and they rushed up to surround the Black Queen, and one of the figures immediately attracted Edith's attention.

He was all blue, his hands and feet were unusually thick, and he walked in very nimbly.

Edith had seen him on TV. He possessed super political talent. He was the leader of the U.S. Government's Mutant Affairs Bureau, an important link between humans and mutants, and a student of Professor Charles.

"Hello, my name is Hank McCoy." Hank pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Wearing these glasses, he looked more refined. "After receiving your report, the government contacted me!"

Finally, he whispered to Edith's ear and said, "We can't produce any practical evidence to arrest her, thank you this time!"

The Hellfire Club has always done a lot of evil by using the network of upper-class nobles. The lower-level people, including non-mutants, dare not speak out. The Black Queen is very smart. She can always easily erase this layer of evidence after committing serial crimes. Mutants with headaches in the police department's case division.

"Be careful!" A young police officer who tried to get close to the Black Queen died unfortunately.

As long as the Black Queen is willing, any human who tries to catch her will be counterattacked by the mutant ability she emits, turning into sand and disappearing.

"What should I do?" The police around looked at me and I looked at you, but there was nothing they could do about this mutant.

Edith said in a hurry: "I remember that the government is digging isolation stones. Isolation stones can isolate all mutant abilities!"

Hank showed embarrassment: "It was a failure a few years ago. Later, experts researched that it contains radiation, and it is not suitable for dealing with mutants who are difficult to destroy society!"

"Then how do you imprison her?" Edith pointed at the tied-up Black Queen.

Hank rubbed the back of his head: "This... so far the only way is to send her to a mutant prison."

"Prison code C?"

Hank nodded, and the Black Queen laughed loudly: "No prison can hold me!" She smiled complacently, "I have hundreds of evidence of high society crimes in my hand, which nobleman killed the maid and which official bribed her?" Congressman, I know, it won't be long before they come crying to ransom me! Haha!"

Edith frowned, perhaps this was the reason why she was able to sit in the club for a long time, but unfortunately she couldn't wait for this plan to come true.Edith waved her hand, and the Black Queen fell into a coma. Someone approached her cautiously, and even poked her arm red, but she didn't respond.

The police officers successfully escorted the Black Queen away.

"Hank, how do you solve it?" I thought that successfully sending the Black Queen to prison would wipe out the entire Hellfire Club, but I didn't expect that this would only make the whole thing more difficult. This is not a struggle between mutants , but a war of the whole government.

"Don't worry, no one can redeem her!" Hank said with a consoling smile, "We won't let her have the opportunity to contact outsiders! And I will increase my strength to get these inside stories out of her mouth. "

Hank is referring to the scandal of some government officials and nobles that the Black Queen inadvertently uttered.

Edith nodded, and the rest had to be left to their government to solve, and her purpose of coming this time was not just as simple as getting rid of the leader of the Hellfire Club.

After the policemen left, Edith turned around and saw the three cuckoo sisters at the door. They seemed to be a little scared, trembling with their arms around their shoulders, but they were not ready to leave.

"We feel the power of leadership in you." Celeste said terrified, "Please don't drive us away! We have nowhere to go but the Hellfire Club!"

Edith was stunned. The three cuckoo sisters who looked exactly the same in front of her spoke exactly the same words as when she first met Linda on the "Third Avenue" a few years ago.

"Please don't drive us away, we have nowhere else to go but the bar!"

When she first took over the bar, a dozen Lindas were trapped in the wine cellar, naked and shivering as they watched her.

Edith felt a little quivering in her heart, and her nose was a little sore. She admitted that she missed the guys in the bar very much.

"Stay, yes." After a while, Edith sniffed and regained some composure. She moved her hands to the exquisite furniture in the hall, pointed to the gold-carved ceramic vases and leather sofas on the bookcase and said, "These, those, Sell ​​it all!"

The three cuckoo sisters looked at her in surprise.

Edith glanced at them: "Any doubts?"

The three women lowered their heads at the same time: "Don't dare, dare not!"

The news of Edith’s acquisition of the Hellfire Club quickly spread throughout the streets of New York. The New York Times interviewed Edith. In the eyes of all humans, the Hellfire Club is just a place for the upper class to have fun, and its practical value is not at all. Not high, but the club's shares cover large and small shops, bars, playgrounds, etc. in New York, and it is even comparable to Stark's corporate popularity.

"The Avengers Alliance is like a fake, we Hellfire Club needs righteous people to join! So welcome all righteous people in the world! Defend the earth together!"

Edith smiled and said to the screen that she was very clever to cover up Thanos' information. She knew that being able to use the obfuscation spell to get the New York Times to accept these interview videos had put a considerable amount of pressure on the Democratic Party, and she could no longer bear this pressure. A possible early war that some Muggles couldn't digest.

Sure enough, after playing the video in turns for three hours in Times Square, New York, it disappeared immediately.

Even Hank called, expressing in words that Edith could no longer use her abilities, putting the people of New York under the pressure of fear.

While Edith agreed on the surface, she did not take time off to sort out the mutant files sent by the three cuckoo sisters.

The three cuckoo sisters are indeed very efficient in doing things. Their greatest mutant ability is telepathy. This power is comparable to that of Professor Charles. The difference is that only when the three of them are present at the same time can the power be stronger.

So Edith separated them.

At the beginning, they thought they could detect Edith's brain, but they didn't know that they were blocked by the natural barrier of Edith's brain like being shut down.

It was not until many years later that Edith knew that it was Occlumency, a spell that the professor automatically used to protect the students after the wizard entered the secret room, and no one could solve it except magic.

Edith needs mutants and needs to expand the Hellfire Club, but she must implement this plan silently, and she must not be discovered by people with ulterior motives in the government, especially some Democratic Party radicals who put human interests first.

When Edith looked up and walked into the Hellfire Club data file, and her fingers touched the internal data, she suddenly realized.

It turns out that the Sentinel was developed by the Black Queen!And she has been in close contact with Democratic activists!

Let the sentinels control the mutants to prevent the mutants from destroying the mutants, which makes the mutants behind the high society of the Hellfire Club more prosperous!

Relying on the information in her hand, Edith came to the church of the radicals of the Democratic Party. Every Saturday, they would gather for a meeting and talk about the future of mutants.

"What a pity, this plan is about to fail!" Edith broke into their sight and tore up the important documents signed by the Black Queen in the middle of them.

"What are you doing? Edith!" the leader of the radicals shouted dissatisfied.

"The Hellfire Club has no connection with your Democratic Party!" Edith showed a regretful expression, and left the church under the shocked eyes of the Radical Party.

Back at the Hellfire Club, Edith saw the three cuckoo sisters walking in with a familiar red-haired girl, and said very apologetically: "She has been clamoring to see you, Miss Edith, and the three of us have nothing to do with her." There is no way!"

Edith waved her hand, signaling them to go back to work and continue doing their own things.

Her legs were a little weak due to excitement, and the words she said almost turned into a trembling sound when she reached her mouth. Only then did she realize that her nose was a little sore, and she almost shed tears. Fortunately, she stopped, and the girl in front of her also stopped. Smiling and patting her on the shoulder, like a few years ago.

"Long time no see, Wanda!"
