"Riptide, how can you talk to His Majesty Namor like this? He is the King of Atlantis and the Master of the Seven Seas!"
Sebastian was furious when he heard this, as if he himself was questioned and insulted, his eyes were full of anger.
Such a reaction made Namor, who was about to express his opinion, secretly moved.
He has lacked the family warmth given by his parents since he was a child. His father was killed by the Atlantis, and his mother was forced by the tradition of the kingdom to dare not stand up and speak for herself.
Even the people who were supposed to call Namor their prince looked at him with strange eyes, treating him as a freak and wishing to expel him from the territory of Atlantis.
Sebastian Xiao's protection and recognition simply surprised Namor.
The young man nicknamed "Riptide" frowned and retorted not to be outdone: "Mr. Xiao, we all respect you. But this does not mean that you can get everyone's approval if you just find someone to be the leader."
"Before this, we have never seen Namor, and we don't know what kind of abilities he has. Just because he is the king of Atlantis, do we have to obey? Is the Hellfire Club really going to The future of our compatriots is easily handed over to a stranger?”
Riptide was completely absorbed in the drama, his face turned red and veins popped out on his forehead, looking very much like a passionate young man who was thinking about his compatriots.
As soon as these words were uttered, they aroused the echo of blockbusters.
Except for Sebastian Xiao, who remained silent, and White Queen Emma, everyone else agreed.
Next, fierce quarrels and discussions ensued.
It's like a stage play that has been rehearsed in advance. Some people play the good part, and some people play the bad part.
Sebastian acted as Namor's defender, while the mutants led by Riptide expressed their opposition, and the two sides were at loggerheads.
"enough!"
Namor, who didn't realize that all of this was a routine, stopped everyone.
He thought that Sebastian Xiao sincerely supported him and had sympathy for the tragic fate of his compatriots.
If the new king of Atlantis could calm down and think about it, he would find many strange things that were wrong.
Unfortunately, when the high ground of IQ is occupied by impulsive emotions, reason becomes a useless thing that is thrown behind us.
"Mr. Xiao, what they said makes sense. Although we are both mutants, we have never come into contact with or have an in-depth understanding of them, so we are still relatively unfamiliar. Besides, as a new member, it is indeed inappropriate to rashly take the position of leader. suitable."
Namor generously showed his understanding and continued: "My compatriots, I am also a mutant. The innate ability given to me by God is flying. In addition, I can also breathe underwater and resist the cold and cold weather of the deep sea. pressure."
"I awakened my ability when I was sixteen years old. At that time, I slipped and fell down the subway steps. I thought I would be bruised and swollen, but I didn't expect that I could float in mid-air, as if I had escaped gravity."
Sebastian's eyes flickered as he quietly wrote down the information.
Then, he glared at Riptide and said, "Are you satisfied? Namor has shown his sincerity. He is indeed on the side of mutants, and he is also eager to save his suffering compatriots. This is completely in line with the original intention of the Hellfire Club. "
"Mr. Xiao, I would like to apologize to Namor Mackenzie."
Riptide's attitude softened and he said sincerely: "Namor, I hope you can forgive me for being rude just now. This is all out of caution. We hide in the darkness and have seen too many ugly and despicable human natures."
The drama ended successfully. After the quarrel and reconciliation, Namor developed a strange sense of belonging to the Hellfire Club, as if he had blended in and was completely accepted by his fellow members.
So, he said in a deep voice: "Human beings will always be afraid of the unknown, and then raise the butcher knife. I can understand your mood. During the years I lived in Manhattan, I was often bullied. After awakening my natural ability, I was even more... I was regarded as a freak, and it wasn’t until I returned to Atlantis, gained recognition from my tribe, and inherited the throne that I found my true self.”
"So, I am very willing to do something for my compatriots. I have this idea not because I want to be the leader of mutants, but because we have all suffered a lot and we should unite with each other..."
"Namor's right!"
Sebastian took the time to interrupt.
He did not intend to give the other party a chance to establish prestige and win people's hearts.
The Hellfire Club is a bargaining chip for him to seize power and status. How can it be the turn of Namor, a young boy, to perform.
"By the way, Riptide, why didn't the red devil Asazo come?"
Sebastian changed the subject, frowned and asked, "Today is the club's party day, he shouldn't be absent."
"Mr. Xiao...Asazuo can't come."
After receiving the prompt to enter the next stage of the performance, Riliu looked sad and lowered his head and said: "He was arrested by the military and put in prison. During this time, many compatriots were caught and they suffered unimaginable horrific torture. Reduced to a cold corpse on the operating table.”
"The Hellfire Club has limited capabilities and cannot fight against the federal government at all, let alone the person responsible for capturing mutants is the youngest major general in the Pentagon, the Superman who defeated the Axis Powers!"
Sebastian glanced at Namor, who was accumulating anger, and added jealously: "It turns out to be Luke Cavill, the devil! I heard his name when I was in Europe. He is ambitious and unscrupulous. Guy. The so-called war heroes and allied supermen are all fake."
"Poor Asazo, he may be lying on the operating table right now, enduring cruel human experiments."
Namor himself is an impulsive character. When he heard Sebastian say this, he couldn't help clenching his fists and his face was as dark as water.
“Should we just sit back and watch as our compatriots are being hunted?”
he asked angrily.
"Namor, you may not know yet. Luke Cavill is not an ordinary person. He is a product of human experimentation by the military. He is a legendary super soldier. He once went deep into the Axis Powers alone and penetrated an army. No bomber swarm could harm him."
Sebastian spoke earnestly and sighed: "The Hellfire Club alone can't deal with Superman at all, not to mention he is an Army Major General, leading an intelligence agency called SHIELD, with the support of the federal government behind him."
"I am the King of Atlantis!"
Namor's eyebrows stood up, his head held high, exuding a domineering aura.
To him, what does a major general from a civilized land country mean to him
Obviously Sebastian's dissuasion did not work, but only added fuel to the fire - this is the result he wanted to see.
"Luke Cavill! Superman! I will not sit back and watch my compatriots be slaughtered, arrested, and treated as cruelly as social animals."
Namor said loudly.
"Mr. Xiao, it's time for the Hellfire Club to take action! We can no longer hide ourselves and escape reality! We should let the human world know what kind of powerful power mutants have!"
"But...how can we fight Superman?"
Sebastian asked hesitantly.
"Hmph! Superman, let me solve it!"
Namor crossed his arms and looked at the outside world through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The gathering dark clouds, silver lightning, and raging sea are just like the curtain of Atlantis on the world stage.
"I will let that guy know that there are stronger warriors than him in this world!" (End of Chapter)
