Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
Shadows, one after another, moved swiftly, following the Duo-Shadow Cuckoo and its companions as they flickered towards a safe house not far away.
Even the Duo-Shadow Cuckoo, a top-tier mental hacker and a copy of the White Queen, was helpless against the Shadow Ninjas – emotionless, silent killers devoid of thought.
Mental abilities were ineffective against the Shadow Ninjas!
Although the ninja squad's combat abilities were only so-so, they possessed superior reconnaissance and eavesdropping capabilities compared to other squads, helping Lord Shen to understand and control countless secrets.
The specific coordinates of all the talismans were now clear.
"The Hellfire Club?"
"It seems the following plot will be quite interesting."
A lazy, magnetic voice echoed through the private room.
Shen Du, like a behind-the-scenes villain boss, observed the magical images with great interest, watching Polaris's every move with a cold gaze.
Lorna Dane.
Magneto's daughter!
Originally, Shen Du planned to keep Polaris, intending to coerce Magneto into cooperation in the future, making them his believers and muscle.
However, the sudden appearance of the Duo-Shadow Cuckoo disrupted all plans.
It even implicated the resurgent Hellfire Club.
It was completely unexpected.
It seemed that being in a complex spacetime where multiple backgrounds merged truly meant one couldn't ignore the influence of the butterfly effect!
Even more so, one couldn't ignore the protagonist's halo!
A rash, brute-force mentality would definitely not lead to any achievement.
Shen Du completely understood his current identity.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing a villainous act."
"Comprehension of the true meaning of evil!"
"Reward: Mysterious Invitation."
Whoosh!
Before he could react, a black card immediately appeared on Shen Du's fingertip.
The card was extremely exquisite.
A few lines of letters were drawn on the surface with gold foil.
This was a language he'd never seen before, one that even the Fire Demon's extensive knowledge couldn't decipher.
Filth.
Weirdness.
The gold-leaf letters seemed to constantly shift.
Sometimes forming a devil's grin, other times transforming into a benevolent angel.
'Mysterious Invitation'?
Carefully examining the black card, Shen Du instantly felt a chilling sense of danger.
His survival instincts were screaming at him not to use the invitation for the time being!
But who could possibly threaten the Lord Shen's existence?!
The Dog Talisman, symbolizing youthful vitality and immunity to lethal harm, was now in place.
Thanks to the various rewards from the villain system, Shen Du was nearing the Near-Skyfather Level.
He was almost capable of single-handedly suppressing the current Avengers!
Why…
…did a single black card make his scalp crawl?
"Hoo."
"Better safe than sorry."
"I definitely won't use the Mysterious Invitation until all the Talismans are collected."
Shen Du calmed his emotions.
Immediately, he carefully placed the black card into his backpack space.
All system rewards wouldn't appear in Shen Du's hands immediately, but would be stored in the backpack space in advance.
Ready for use at any time.
"Huh?"
"The Hellfire Club member responsible for receiving Polaris isn't Reva Paige?"
Shen Du narrowed his eyes slightly.
The magic projection displayed a classic villain from Jackie Chan Adventures!
An older, short, East Asian man with white hair and jade hands wore a smile.
This is a famous international philanthropist from the Jackie Chan Adventures series.
Ba Sa Chang! A wealthy businessman from Taiwan, China.
Due to an accident, he was forced to have his right arm amputated.
For aesthetic reasons, he replaced it with a jade prosthetic.
This resulted in Ba Sa Chang's obsession and craving for jade.
On the surface, he presents himself as a glamorous Eastern philanthropist, frequently appearing on CCTV programs to promote the traditional virtues of helping others.
In reality, he secretly engages in various unspeakable criminal activities.
He does this to satisfy his evil desires for jade treasures.
Shen Du hadn't anticipated this. In the complex world of background integration…
Ba Sa Chang had actually become a member of the Hellfire Club.
And his rank was not low, obviously higher than the Duo-Shadow Cuckoo! Because the Hellfire Club…
was never just a mutant organization.
Its members encompassed people from all walks of life.
There were no restrictions based on nationality, skin color, faith, or race.
It was like a Mensa Club, gathering high-IQ geniuses.
It helped members quickly build friendships, expand their networks and social circles, and share resources and channels!
Ultimately, achieving the core purpose of the Hellfire Club!
Subvert the world.
Reshape the Earth!
"Welcome."
"Miss Polaris."
"This is Dr. Gilbru, the health advisor for the Hellfire Club members."
"…Considering your tragic experience, being imprisoned for many days by the Life Foundation."
"Perhaps, we should draw a vial of blood to test your body's various indicators."
Ba Sa Chang introduced enthusiastically.
"Dr. Gilbru?"
"Check-up?" The naive punk girl was puzzled.
I've been in the presidential suite the whole time, and I don't have any signs of illness or poisoning!
There's no need for a blood test, right?
Indeed, there was no need.
However, this was the Hellfire Club's intention for rescuing Polaris!
By replicating the genetic factors of Magneto's daughter, they would create an army of mutants capable of manipulating the Earth's magnetic field!
To realize their ambition of reshaping the world!
Cloning.
Gene Editing.
All sorts of technology that violated moral ethics had been researched and developed to an extreme degree by the Essex Corporation, which was behind Dr. Gilbru!
The Essex Corporation.
Not only did it invest in the Hellfire Club, but it also assisted Sentinel Services in creating countless X-Weapons!
Dr. Gilbru.
Was now an inescapable human-shaped demon in the hearts of the mutant population!
"Wonderful."
"Absolutely wonderful."
Shen Du clapped his hands in the air, his face filled with admiration and praise.
Compared to the owner of the Essex Corporation, he really didn't seem villainous enough!
Too green.
He actually planned to dominate the world with personal strength.
Utterly fanciful.
It would be better to imitate the Essex Corporation.
By supporting Ba Sa Chang, he could lay out his schemes in advance across the Eastern Shenzhou.
Master the flow and direction of the Eastern world!
Rebuild the Evil Dragon Empire in another, more high-end way.
Utilizing capital to influence the court!
As for whether Ba Sa Chang possesses this ability?
Shen Du had no doubts.
After all, as a wealthy businessman from Taiwan, Ba Sa Chang surely had a vast network of connections.
Otherwise, how could he have repeatedly committed criminal activities and remained at large until now?!
"The Fire Demon, who once ruled the East twice, is no different from the supreme ruler."
"Entrust Ba Sa Chang to establish a company."
"How about calling it Supreme Industries?"
"Sounds a bit unpleasant."
"Forget it."
"We should hurry up and kidnap Ba Sa Chang instead."
Shen Du snapped his fingers.
Whoosh!
Intense magical smoke billowed out.
The Black Hand Gang appeared before Shen Du.
"Go."
"Take the severed hand from the projection to the Life Foundation."
Severed hand?
Ba Sa Chang?!
The suit-clad thug, Valmont, recognized the true identity of the kidnapped target almost instantly!
The Eastern businessman, obsessed with jade!
