Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 104: The Deal between White Queen and Magneto

"You are still the same as before."

Erik's voice turned cold. The White Queen and her Hellfire Club have always operated on the principle of self-interest, aligning neither with Charles nor with him. 

However, the Hellfire Club is home to many powerful mutants.

Erik had tried to recruit the White Queen more than once, but each time he was met with refusal.

This frustrated Erik, who has always fought for the mutant race.

Emma knew this, but she didn't care whether Erik was angry or not because she had brought him a bargaining chip.

"I want to make a deal with you, Erik."

"What deal?"

"I want you to find someone for me, by any means necessary, and make him willingly join the Hellfire Club."

Emma picked up the wine glass from the glass table in front of her, gently swirling the wine inside, with a smile in her eyes.

"If it's someone you value, Emma, he must not be simple. I'm very curious who he is." Magneto Erik's aged voice carried a hint of surprise, and his eyes flickered.

White Queen Emma did not elaborate but instead mentioned another person.

"I've spent two years finding a mutant that I think will interest you very much."

"If it weren't for this deal, I wouldn't want to hand him over to you."

Magneto looked at Emma without speaking, and Emma continued, unconcerned: "His name is Joshua Foley. He can control the molecular structure of his own and others' bodies, theoretically rewriting genetic structures at will."

"He can generate bio-molecular energy to affect organic matter he touches, allowing him to heal physical injuries, activate and inhibit mutant abilities, and repair brain functions."

"Additionally, it has been proven that he can regenerate damaged or completely removed tissue, although he hasn't yet reached his full potential."

"I think a mutant like him would definitely interest you. With him as a bargaining chip, are you willing to make this deal with me, Erik?"

Hearing Emma out, even a cunning old fox like Magneto couldn't help but change his expression: "Do you know what you're saying, Emma?"

"Of course, I wouldn't exaggerate the value of the chip itself." Emma showed a charming smile, sipping from her wine glass.

"An Omega-level healing ability that can also activate mutant powers. Using him as a bargaining chip, I'm more curious about whom you want to invite." Magneto knew all too well the value of such a mutant.

An Omega-level healing ability is already very special, theoretically capable of rewriting genetic structures. If this Joshua Foley had enough resources and manpower, he would have the power to create a new human race akin to God.

Furthermore, he could eliminate useless genes from mutants and activate mutant abilities.

Such a person was so precious that Magneto could barely contain his excitement and had thoughts of seizing him. Any deal seemed irrelevant; he just wanted to take the man by force.

However, rationality told Magneto he couldn't do that, because he knew Emma well. Since she dared to invite him, she must have a way to ensure her safety, and that boy was likely well-hidden.

After rationalizing, Magneto was also curious about who could make Emma spend such a precious bargaining chip.

"His name is John Shaw, a powerful telepath like me, perhaps even stronger."

Emma happily revealed, her fox-like eyes curved.

"If that's all, I don't think it's worth such a price, Emma."

"Let's put it this way: I agreed to play a game with him. Unfortunately, two years have passed, and he's hidden very well. I couldn't find him. Recently, he reappeared, but I didn't dare face him, so I found you, Erik." Emma said honestly.

"A game?" Magneto Erik chuckled, what else could he say?

A mutant that even moved him was just a bargaining chip for a game; the world had indeed become crazy.

"So what's your answer, Erik?"

"I agree. I'll bring him to you, as long as he's alive, right?" Magneto was confident; a mere telepath was no match for him.

Emma looked at Magneto's confident demeanor and reminded him: "I only said he has powerful telepathic abilities like mine. He might have other means, Erik, don't underestimate him."

"That's my business, Emma. Prepare the boy I need; I want to see him on the day of the deal."

"You really haven't changed at all. Additionally, you'll need to find this person yourselves; I've already passed his appearance to Raven."

Erik glanced at Raven beside him, who nodded in response.

So Erik, Raven, and Victor stood up and left without another word.

Emma sat on the sofa, unconcerned with Magneto's arrogance.

She placed the wine glass in front of her, gently swirling it and watching the liquid spin inside, she smiled: "You hid deeper than I thought, I hope you enjoy the surprise I've prepared for you, boy."

...

In a café in Forks Town.

Bella, wearing a black T-shirt, looked at the boy opposite her with a delicate face showing reluctance: "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I'm going to hell."

"Hell?"

"I have a new target, in hell. She's my target."

"You know, I'll always be here waiting for you."

"I understand. I'll be back soon."

Bi Xiao smiled lightly. The girl didn't pout or complain, forbidding him from leaving, a trait he liked very much.

After speaking, he gently tapped Bella's forehead with his finger, transmitting a message through telepathy.

"Spend some time mastering it. It will grant you my magic in times of danger."

This magic was a key, a key to his dimensional world. It would transfer power in times of crisis and construct a defense and trigger an attack in Bella's mental world.
