I'm a party

Chapter 8 Hesitation for a moment

"Yes, there is not only a maid, but also a young girl. They are all mutants. What's the problem?" Lu Yifang said, without looking back, and left.

Fury did not call Lu Yifang again. He knew that the so-called maid was the Death Woman, Stryker's former personal bodyguard. She was controlled by Stryker at that time. In the final analysis, she was also a victim of harm caused by ordinary people.

Lu Yifang's words at this moment showed that he wanted to protect the Death Girl. If the Death Girl did not commit crimes again in the future, Fury could do so for the time being. After all, it was not convenient for him to interfere too much in the affairs of mutants, as long as it did not touch the bottom line of crime in his heart.

After Lu Yifang left, he went straight home, but saw a bright red, brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom at the door.

"Where did this new car come from?" Lu Yifang asked Katie and Yuriko.

"It seems to be sent by Stark Industries to pay off the debt." Katie explained.

"Is that so?" Lu Yifang stroked the new car with a slight smile on his face.

The next morning, on the playground of the Mutant Academy, a scarlet horse stopped in front of several mutant teenagers. On the carriage, a girl dressed as a maid slowly dismounted from the horse's seat and then respectfully opened the door of the carriage.

"Sir, please get out of the car."

"Don't call me young master, call me young master!" Lu Yifang, his face covered with sunglasses, stepped out of the carriage and then stretched his hand inside.

"Yifang, stop making trouble." Katie reluctantly took Lu Yifang's hand and walked out of the car.

"It's a different kind of fun to play like this occasionally." Lu Yifang smiled and turned his gaze to a few pairs of confused teenagers.

"President, how are you!"

"Hello, President... Hello, President!" The students came to their senses at this moment and saluted Lu Yifang, who claimed to be the student union president.

"It's really wonderful." After playing for a while, Lu Yifang was satisfied and walked into the classroom with Katie.

However, as he walked through the corridor, a cloaked man approached him.

"Student Council President, are you interested in skipping classes with me and going to an interesting place?" The man lifted his cloak slightly, revealing a devilish red face.

"Red Devil, how dare you break into the academy." Lu Yifang said with a frown.

"I only dared to come here because this is an institution of learning. The professor had already noticed me when I showed up." The Red Devil smiled. This was the tacit understanding between the X-Men and the Brotherhood.

In a research institute in the remote suburbs of New York, a quiet house suddenly flashed red light, and three figures appeared, they were the Red Devil, Yuriko and Lu Yifang.

"I have to say, your ability is really convenient." Lu Yifang praised. With the Red Devil's teleportation, the risk of exposure every time he came to the research institute was undoubtedly reduced a lot.

"Thank you for the compliment. It's my honor." The Red Devil smiled and saluted Lu Yifang.

"You are here." At this time, the door opened and the White Queen walked into the room.

With her mental power, she noticed the moment the Red Devil was teleported back.

"This is our research institute." Lu Yifang looked around with interest and then asked, "We don't need to worry about funding, right?"

"When Hammer Industries collapsed, we took the opportunity to withdraw $450 billion in working capital, so we don't have to worry about funding issues in the short term. However, to be cautious, it is better to keep this money for a while. Although Ivan Vanko's technology is good, some people have a keen sense of smell." The White Queen explained.

"You are probably worried about SHIELD." Lu Yifang looked at the White Queen. "Don't worry about this matter. I have already got the answer from Fury. He will not interfere in the mess of Hammer Industries."

"That's the best." Hearing this, the White Queen felt much better.

"Now that we have the venue and the funds, the next step is to recruit talents. Although the few people I mentioned are not well-known, they do have real talents and skills. Have you found them?" Lu Yifang asked.

"You two have been invited by the Red Devil. Since you mentioned it, let's go and take a look." The White Queen opened the door.

At this time, a yellow-haired boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old appeared at the door. When Lu Yifang saw him, he was stunned.

"John!"

"Yifang!" The yellow-haired young man was also stunned when he saw Lu Yifang.

There is no doubt that the blond boy in front of him is Lu Yifang’s former roommate - Fireman John.

"I didn't expect you to be here." Lu Yifang had a complicated expression. John's seat had been empty in the classroom for the past two days, but because of his busy schedule, Lu Yifang didn't pay much attention to it.

Now it seems that this roommate somehow managed to get in touch with Magneto and join his team. What's more interesting is that Magneto actually arranged John to be with Lu Yifang, which must have been a deliberate move.

"I didn't expect you to be here." John's expression was equally complicated.

"It seems that our ideas coincide. It is wise to betray Professor X and join Magneto." John said excitedly.

John felt a lot of constraints in the mutant academy. He understood that the professors and teachers' requirements were to protect them, but he couldn't stand this kind of life. After all, freedom and indulgence were the nature of the Fire Man. Seeing Magneto use his superpowers without scruples, John's heart leaned towards the Brotherhood.

"Betrayal? I didn't betray Professor X. I just worked with Magneto, and Professor X knows about it. I skipped class and planned to go back to class in the afternoon." Lu Yifang explained.

“Is there such a thing?” John said that he understood every word Lu Yifang said, but it was unbelievable when they were put together.

"John, the relationship between Professor X and Magneto is far more complicated than you think." Lu Yifang patted John on the shoulder and said earnestly, "By the way, are you going back to class this afternoon?"

Dropping out of school is not a good thing. When it comes to education, Professor X is much more reliable than Magneto.

"Can I go back?" John looked at Lu Yifang in surprise.

Although Professor X and the teachers strictly restrict super powers, it is impossible for John to say that he has no regrets about life in the Mutant Academy.

"Of course you can. If you want, you can attend classes at the academy and use your abilities here as much as you want. If Professor X has any questions, just say it was my idea." Hearing this, John's eyes sparkled. He stared at Lu Yifang for a long time and said in a complicated tone, "You know, back at Acrylic Lake, I couldn't believe that the person who could compete with Phoenix was actually my roommate."

"So what now?" Lu Yifang asked with a smile.

"Now I have decided to follow you from now on." John said frankly. Although he was arrogant, he knew his position and was in awe of the strong.

"Okay, okay. As a brother, I won't treat you unfairly. When we go back this afternoon, I'll treat you to some nectar!" Lu Yifang said with a smile, putting his arm around John's shoulder.

At the same time, Lu Yifang was also thinking about the opportunity to recruit a few more mutant students with good potential in the future, such as Iceman Bobby and Colossus Pete, who are also good choices.

"Where is this?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. Obviously, this was not the room where he was imprisoned.

The man looked around the simple but tidy modern room. Besides him, there was another thin man in his fifties who was knocking on the door, trying to get someone to let him out, but it seemed to be of no avail.

"Hi, let's get to know each other." Seeing the man wake up, the man walked over and extended his hand friendly.

"My name is Holden Radcliffe and I'm a scientist."

The man hesitated for a moment, then also stretched out his hand. "Sir, this is Mussel Stern, a man who grinds ink."

"So that's how it is. There are actually two ink grinders here. It seems that those who want to borrow our wisdom have been clearly identified." Radcliffe murmured.

"There are many people who covet my knowledge and achievements, so I am always on guard, but I am still captured. These people are not ordinary people." What comforted Radcliffe a little was that these people were only coveting the knowledge in his mind, so he should not worry about his life.

Radcliffe has always been a loner, without regard for national boundaries. It doesn't matter to him who he is loyal to. Unless it involves the study of weapons that goes against human ethics, he can accept it and at most just do it perfunctorily.
