Chapter 241 Watching the drama unfold

As Wanda finished speaking, Black Bolt suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

He raised his hand to touch the lower half of his face and found that his mouth had disappeared, as if there had never been anything there to begin with.

Black Bolt: ∑()

The strange people around them were equally dumbfounded.

Black Bolt's mouth just vanished into thin air, so does that mean his powers are completely ineffective?

It's important to understand that Black Bolt is the Inhumans' greatest asset. Without him, the Inhumans' strength would be reduced by at least 99.999999%...

"I advise you not to speak, or you might hurt yourself."

Wanda, being kind-hearted, kindly reminded Black Bolt of a word.

Actually, she didn't need to remind him. As the king of the Inhumans, how could Black Bolt possibly panic because of his own misfortune and accidentally make a sound that would blow him to death? That kind of death would be too stupid.

Black Bolt believes he has a higher IQ than normal people, so he naturally wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

He suppressed his shock and quickly raised his hand to gesture.

Medusa immediately translated: "What did you do to him!?"

Wanda smiled: "His abilities are too dangerous. I can only temporarily seal them with magic. Don't worry, the magic will automatically dissipate after a while, and his mouth will come back to normal."

Wanda's magical talent is beyond doubt.

She understood the Kamar-Taj scriptures that Du Mu brought back to her almost immediately, and her use of chaos magic became increasingly refined, causing her strength to rise rapidly as if she had a cheat code.

She often thought that it would be great if fishing were as easy as magic.

Although Wanda cannot yet perform the advanced operation of creating something from nothing, such as creating a sentient life form out of thin air, she can still modify a part of reality.

Upon hearing Maximoff's words, Wanda secretly used magic to read part of his memories and learned about Black Bolt's abilities.

So she decisively used chaos magic to seal Black Bolt's mouth, forcibly silencing him to prevent him from posing a threat to them.

Thinking of this, Wanda sincerely said to Maximov, "However, I still have to thank you for reminding me. If you hadn't reminded me in time, we would have been in trouble."

Maximov:

"6

The Extraordinary People: "6"

""

At that moment, the Inhumans felt like they wanted to kill Maximov.

Nobody reveals all their cards right away.

You're probably a mole!

No wonder the previous Inhuman king chose Black Bolt to succeed him without hesitation; he was truly prescient. If Maximov had become the Inhuman king, they would probably have become an endangered species the very next day.

Du Mu chuckled, mentally giving Wanda's taunt a perfect score.

He couldn't be outdone, and looking at Maximov, he scoffed, "Lunar man, what did you just say?"

Maximov's face turned ashen, and he was about to speak when Black Bolt stopped him.

Black Bolt's hands moved with incredible speed, his gestures so fast they almost left afterimages, making at least six hand seals per second.

"We Inhumans have lived in seclusion here since ancient times, adhering to neutrality and never instigating any conflict. We pursue peace and have no intention of making enemies of anyone. Therefore, no matter why you come, as long as you do not pose a threat to the safety of Attilan, we welcome you."

Medusa's voice rang out almost simultaneously, without any delay, perfectly smooth, and even the tone was so vivid that it didn't feel out of place at all.

Du Mu thought to himself that they were indeed a couple, their understanding was perfect, even simultaneous interpretation wasn't this smooth.

"That's what we think too."

Seeing Black Bolt's friendly attitude, Du Mu's tone also became exceptionally kind: "To be honest, we are all from an organization called Hydra. You may not have heard of this organization, so let me give you a brief introduction."

"This is a long-established non-profit organization on Earth, dedicated to maintaining world peace and order, promoting human solidarity, and actively driving technological development. Therefore, countries around the world favor us, and we share the same ideals."

Wanda:

'

""

Are you sure you're describing Hydra?

Having spent so long at the Hydra research base, Wanda and Pietro already knew the true nature of the base, but they didn't care. Sokovia's gradual improvement was obvious to all.

For them, whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra, as long as it's beneficial to Sokovia, that's all that matters.

Of course, there's really no difference between the two.

Black Bolt, unaware of the situation on Earth, believed Du Mu's words to be true and continued to form hand seals: "In that case, why don't you all follow me to the council hall, where we can sit down and discuss this in detail?"

Black Bolt has personally experienced Wanda's abilities, and his mouth has not yet recovered. He is extremely wary of Wanda.

Not to mention Du Mu, who seemed to be the leader.

If even the subordinates are this powerful, then the leader must be able to take off.

After careful consideration, Black Bolt decided to prioritize peace and remain silent, a gentleman uses words... cough cough, neither words nor actions.

"Alright."

Du Mu did not refuse and signaled the Sokovian soldiers to remain stationed at the spaceship.

He then led Wanda, Bucky, and the Space Marines, following Black Bolt and his party toward the palace.

Upon arriving at the spacious council hall, everyone sat down and exchanged a few polite words.

Black Bolt quickly got to the point: "I have a request, and I hope you can grant it. Attilan is the home of our Inhumans, and we do not want to be disturbed by outsiders. So I implore you not to reveal what is happening here."

Du Mu nodded: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I guarantee on the honor of Hydra that what I saw today will not be leaked out of us."

Thank you for your understanding.

Black Bolt secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether Du Mu's guarantee is valid, this at least puts him at ease.

"However, I also have a small request, and I hope you can consider it," Du Mu said with a smile.

"What request?"

Medusa relayed Black Bolt's questions.

Du Mu stated bluntly, "I want your alien race's technology, especially your protective shield technology."

He was quite interested in the protective shield of Attilan.

The physical abilities of ordinary Inhumans are no different from those of ordinary people, yet they can survive so well in the lunar environment. The reason for this is the ecological environment provided by the protective shield, which makes it no different from the environment on Earth.

If they mastered this technology, they would be able to establish their own base on the moon.

Don't even think about it!

No sooner had Du Mu finished speaking than Maximov exclaimed excitedly, "The protective shield is a core technology of our Inhuman race! How could we possibly hand it over to an Earthling like you!"

Black Bolt frowned, a clear look of difficulty on his face.

Du Mu added, "Don't rush to refuse. We can exchange other technologies for a fair trade."

"That won't do either!"

Maximov turned to Black Bolt, his voice vehement: "This technology is our lifeline, and we must not hand it over to outsiders! Besides, these Earthlings are completely untrustworthy; they want the technology today, and tomorrow they might want our city!"

He spoke in a grand and righteous manner, but in reality, he just didn't want Du Mu to cooperate with the Black Bat King.

If the two sides cooperate, wouldn't his plan fall through, and he would lose both his throne and his sister-in-law?

Black Bolt raised his hand to signal Maximov to calm down, pondered for a moment, and then formed a hand seal to ask a question.

"What technology do you want to exchange?"

"That depends on what you need. I have a list here that you can choose from."

A document appeared out of thin air in Du Mu's hand, which recorded the technologies that Hydra currently possessed and that were available for exchange.

This list was originally prepared by him for contacting other interstellar civilizations, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.

Black Bolt took the document and read it carefully, and was truly shocked.

What happened to the claim that Earth is backward?

Almost every technology on this list is on par with, or even surpasses, the Inhumans' current technological level.

After a moment, Du Mu asked, "Have you decided? Is there any technique you want?"

Black Bolt took a deep breath, nodded, and made a very intuitive gesture: he drew a circle in the air with his finger and then clenched his fist, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.

He wanted it all!

"This doesn't need translation, I can understand it."

Du Mu interrupted Medusa's translation, shaking his head and saying, "I'm sorry, your protective shield technology can only exchange for the two technologies mentioned above at most."

Black Bolt was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

But the technologies mentioned above are indeed very tempting, and several of them could easily solve the current predicament faced by Attilan.

Despite the peaceful city inside the protective shield, the fact that an entire city was forcibly placed on the moon caused a series of problems, leaving King Black Bolt constantly stressed and his hairline receding. He often felt powerless and even incurred Medusa's wrath, forcing him to take matters into his own hands to defuse her anger.

Black Bolt is truly exhausted, having to take care of both the big picture and his own family, enduring hardship for both himself and his children...

He knew that his younger brother Maximov had long coveted the throne, and if possible, he would like to hand over the position to him.

Unfortunately, the king of the Inhumans must be an Inhuman.

Only a tiger can command a pack of wolves, not a husky.

However, Maximov was unaware of Black Bolt's good intentions and only wanted to send his beloved older brother to reunite with his parents.

Just as Black Bolt was about to agree to Du Mu's proposal, a fierce glint suddenly appeared in Maximov's eyes, and he secretly made a hand gesture.

"Let's do it!"

With a loud shout, several strange people who had been standing still suddenly launched an attack!

They moved swiftly and with a clear objective, lunging directly at their unsuspecting companions.

Among the attackers was even a high-ranking member of the Inhuman race, indicating that it was all planned in advance.

Black Bolt was also attacked; a blazing beam of energy shot from a blind spot on the side, aiming straight for his vitals.

Although Black Bolt was unable to use his powers, his skills were still extraordinary. He almost instinctively dodged to the side, the beam of light grazing his crown and leaving a burn mark on the wall.

He scanned the chaotic scene and quickly guessed what had happened, looking at Maksimov in disbelief.

"Little brother, why?"

Medusa fought off the rebels around her while translating for them.

Her tone was a mix of shock, confusion, and disappointment, rivaling even that of professional voice actors.

Du Mu:

'

""

He still remembered to translate even at a time like this; he's so dedicated.

Why?

When Maksimov realized that his scheme had been exposed, he decided to stop trying to cover it up.

A long-suppressed, sinister smile spread across his face: "My dear brother, you're still asking why? Well, let me tell you, it's because your outdated ideas should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago!"

"We Inhumans are clearly stronger than Earthlings, yet we're stuck on this barren moon, clinging to life in our aging cities! Meanwhile, they enjoy the resources of Earth, which should rightfully be ours!"

"But instead of leading your people to reclaim what is rightfully yours, you have repeatedly suppressed my plans, preventing me from invading Earth and using its resources to nourish the Inhumans. You are a sinner against the Inhumans; it is through your cowardice and shortsightedness that you have strangled the future of our entire race!"

"You are not worthy to be the king of the Inhumans!"

"Only I can lead the Inhumans to victory!"

Black Bolt was shocked that his own brother would betray him and even criticize him as a sinner against his race. He felt a pang of heartache and sorrow.

Right at the edge of this tense scene, the atmosphere was quite different.

"I always felt that this guy had a rebellious streak and wasn't a good person, and I was right."

"really."

Du Mu and Wanda ate the fruit served to them while watching this wonderful family drama, whispering among themselves, careful not to disturb the people on stage.

Eating melons is human nature, and that can't be changed.

When Medusa saw Black Bolt being attacked by two rebels, her long hair grew wildly and danced, tightly binding him.

Her ability is to freely control her hair, making it harder and longer, so she is destined to never go bald.

Medusa stood in front of Black Bolt, shouting at Maximov, "Your ambition and madness are the greatest threat to Attilan! Black Bolt has always protected you, and you have betrayed him!"

"Protect me?"

Maximov scoffed, "I don't need his lofty protection! What I need is the throne! Power! Medusa, when I become king, you'll understand who is more suited to lead Attilan... and who truly deserves you!"

Medusa: "???"

Black Bolt: "???"

Du Mu and Wanda: Holy crap, there's even this gossip to be had! This trip was totally worth it!

At this moment, Black Bolt's face turned green.

He had assumed that Maximov was only interested in his own throne, but it turned out he also coveted Medusa's throne.

Black Bolt gritted his teeth, and all his words finally coalesced into a single finger.

Black Bolt: 凸（▼▼）

Medusa: "The king says your plot will not succeed, and you and your accomplices will be put to trial!"

Du Mu: "

"Bullshit, he clearly just raised his middle finger, there's no such multi-layered meaning."
