Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 138 All parties draw together, Hellfire Club

The living room of the main building.

Storm, Iceman and others sat opposite Roy, persuading him earnestly, hoping that he would give up the idea of ​​quitting the X-Men.

They found one reason after another, trying to instill in him the benefits of staying in the X-Men.

Not only that, they even started painting cakes for him.

For example, if he stays in the X-Men, he has a great chance to become the new captain of the X-Men, and even take over the duties of Professor X and become the new principal of the mutant school.

Although their attitudes were sincere and they fully expressed their reluctance to him, Roy was unmoved in the slightest.

He won't change his mind easily about things he has decided on.

More importantly, he is really a little tired now.

The mutant school did provide him with a certain amount of shelter in the early stage, giving him a developmental time free from outside interference, allowing him to pass through the "novice period" of traveling safely.

But he also gave mutant schools plenty in return.

If nothing else, let's take Phoenix Girl's runaway at school last time as an example.

If it wasn't for him, Phoenix Girl's rampage would have killed at least half of the students.

If it is more serious, not only the students, but even Professor X and Storm, there is a high chance that the entire army will be wiped out and die on the spot.

In addition, in the past few months, he has used the identity of the X-Men to perform tasks outside, rescue the mutants in custody, and attack various underground organizations.

In real terms, not only did he not owe the mutant school anything, but the mutant school and the X-Men also owed him a lot of favors.

"Teacher Orolo, you needn't say anything, I've already made my decision."

"Even if there is nothing today, I will graduate from school after a while."

"If you withdraw now, you can also avoid the school and the X-Men being involved in the public opinion storm."

Roy said to Storm.

Although his tone was calm, Storm and the others could tell that he was really leaving the X-Men.

Looking at Roy who was unmoved at all, Storm sighed helplessly.

Then, slowly said:
"Professor and Logan are returning to school now, let's talk about your withdrawal from the X-Men when they come back."

Realizing that she and others had no way to make Roy change his mind, Storm didn't waste any more words, and decisively threw the question to Professor X who hadn't returned to school yet.

"When the professors come back, I will chat with them."

Roy said slowly.

"Uh-huh!"

Storm nodded.

Afterwards, he left the living room with Iceman, Colossus and others.

Clarice did not leave with Storm and the others.

When only Roy and herself were left in the living room, Clarice said slowly:

"Are you really leaving?"

"Yes."

Roy replied.

"So where are you going to go next?"

"Looking for Lorna?"

Clarice continued.

"Not in a short time, but I haven't figured out where to go next."

"It doesn't matter, let's take a step and see."

Roy replied casually.

With his current strength, he can go wherever he wants.

Even going to the White House in Washington, there is no problem.

"That...can I leave with you?"

"I'm about to graduate too. If you leave school, I want to leave with you."

Clarice looked at Roy seriously, and said shyly.

"Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"Life after school isn't as easy as you might think."

"More importantly, after quitting the X-Men, no matter what happens, you can only find a way to solve it yourself, and there will be no help from others. Have you really thought about it?"

Roy was not surprised that Clarice wanted to leave school with him.

But he felt the need to make it clear to Clarice.

Leaving mutant school wasn't just about living somewhere else.

"I have already thought about it, and I will never regret it."

Clarice said quickly.

Looking at the determined Clarice, Roy sighed slightly.

Then, slowly said:
"Now that you've made up your mind, let's leave together."

"Uh-huh!"

Clarice nodded happily.

after an hour.

Professor X and Wolverine and others are back in school.

The first thing Professor X did when he returned to school was to call Roy to the principal's office.

On the way back to school, he had already thought about how to persuade Roy to stay.

However, the development of things is completely different from what he expected.

Roy listened to his speech seriously.

Then, without even thinking about it, I refused.

Professor X thought that his persuasion would somewhat change Roy's mind.

But it turns out that Roy is harder to fool than other peers.

Not only that, because Roy is immune to psychic power, Professor X has no way to "convince" him with superpowers.

After a not-so-long conversation, Roy's departure from the mutant school was set in three days.

According to Professor X, even if he leaves the mutant school, he still needs to say goodbye to other people.

In addition, before he officially leaves school, Professor X will help him deal with a series of problems caused by killing "feminist" members in the street.

Although Roy didn't care much about the subsequent storm of public opinion, since Professor X was willing to take the initiative to help solve this problem, he would not refuse.

However, what he didn't expect was that not long after he came out of the principal's office, he received a bunch of invitations from other organizations.

Invitations were sent to him by official organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Department of Homeland Security, as well as non-governmental organizations such as the Brotherhood of Mutants.

What surprised him the most was that he received an invitation from the Hellfire Club.

Although he didn't know where the Hellfire Club got his contact information.

However, the Hellfire Club offered him a condition that was enough to tempt most mutants.

An annual remuneration of [-] million US dollars, plus membership in the core group.

According to the Hellfire Club, as long as he joins, he will be the new White King of the Hellfire Club.

Of course, if he doesn't like the position of King Bai, Bishop Bai is fine too.

In addition, after joining the Hellfire Club, as a core member, he can get the greatest support from the Hellfire Club.

On the surface, the Hellfire Club is indeed very sincere.

But Roy rejected the Hellfire Club's invitation without even thinking about it.

Even if he were to join another organization, he would join a more promising one.

For ordinary mutants, the Hellfire Club is as powerful an organization as the X-Men.

But for Roy, the Hellfire Club was just that.

The Hellfire Club does have some abilities, but the Hellfire Club also has an obvious disadvantage.

That is the Hellfire Club's lack of real high-level combat power.

In the comics, Dark Phoenix, Magneto, Blackheart the son of Mephisto, and Hellstorm the son of Satan all joined the Hellfire Club at one time or another.

But that's in the comics.

In the current universe, the Hellfire Club has been going downhill after the death of Hei Wang Xiao.

Although they recruited many mutants to join, the mutants they recruited were very average.

Otherwise, the positions of King Bai and Bishop Bai would not remain vacant.

Not only that, Roy now has reason to suspect that not only the positions of the White King and the White Bishop are vacant, but also the positions of the Black King, Black Queen, and Black Bishop are also highly likely to be vacant now.
