...Brotherhood of Mutants Base.
Magneto, clutching his injured arm, was helped by his subordinates to sit on a collapsed wall.
The Brotherhood members gazed at their Base, now a ruin, and then at the bodies of their Mutant brethren and alien creatures scattered everywhere, their eyes filled with anger and hatred.
They couldn't understand why, with an alien invasion erupting globally, their newly established secret Base had become a target for the aliens.
Why them, and precisely at such a crucial juncture?
How could Magneto and the other Brotherhood of Mutants members know that Mutants had, in fact, always been a target of alien civilizations?
Fifty years ago, certain aliens wanted to decipher the Mutant gene, attempting to replicate or transplant it into themselves.
To this end, these aliens entered Earth under the guise of Universe trade, secretly abducting a group of Mutants with various types of abilities.
The Men in Black intercepted these aliens midway, rescued the Mutants, eliminated the traffickers, and then specifically activated a sky-net network designed to lock onto Mutant bioelectricity for the Mutants.
Subsequent alien civilizations that came to Earth to capture Mutants were all met with severe retaliation; their spaceships were destroyed on the spot, not to mention specific Men in Black agents who pursued them to their home Planets to demand compensation.
As the saying goes, the harder something is to get, the more desirable it becomes.
Precisely because the Men in Black protected Mutants so well, alien civilizations' interest in Mutants grew even stronger, believing that the Mutant gene must hide a great secret.
They were constrained by the Men in Black's deterrence and dared not act rashly again.
It wasn't until today, decades later, that these alien civilizations received a mysterious signal: Mutants at a certain location were not protected by the 'sky-net'.
They decisively dispatched hunting parties, catching the Brotherhood of Mutants completely off guard!
At this moment, Magneto felt utterly helpless.
Initially, when he saw the aliens invading Earth, he was very excited, believing that the time had come for Mutants to dominate Earth.
Ordinary humans could not be a match for the aliens. He planned to wait until ordinary humans and aliens fought each other to a standstill, then lead the Brotherhood of Mutants in a powerful strike to establish a World where Mutants reigned supreme.
He never expected...
"My Lord Magneto, seven of our brethren have been captured by alien creatures. Should the original plan proceed?" Nightcrawler asked respectfully.
"It seems even we Mutants cannot remain unscathed in this alien disaster."
Magneto sighed with a complex expression, waving his hand, "Don't rush, let me think, let me think again..."
Whether that plan could succeed already involved an element of gambling. Now, the aliens' interference added much instability to this high-stakes gamble.
If they acted rashly, whether they won or lost, the last ones to laugh would surely be those external forces.
To gamble... or not to gamble... Magneto, who had always been fanatical about Mutants, was wavering.
He suddenly thought of something else and quickly asked:
"Did Wanda and Pietro accept my demands?"
"To My Lord, they firmly refused," Nightcrawler replied.
"Hmm..." Magneto nodded in satisfaction, "Go tell them I no longer need them. Also, tell them both to be careful of the aliens."
Regardless of whether he gambled or not, he had to leave some seeds for the Mutants.
This was also his last act of care as a father... Villa.
After a simple breakfast, Lin Luo French-kissed Lorna in front of Blink.
Getting into the car, Lin Luo sat in the center of the back seat, watching Natasha and Catwoman prepare to get into the front seats.
"Don't drink and drive. Even as Men in Black members, basic laws must be followed. You two come sit in the back," Lin Luo said calmly.
"Uh... As you wish, BOSS..."
Natasha and Catwoman paused, then obediently gave up the front seats, opened the back doors on either side, and sat down next to Lin Luo.
"Hm?"
As she sat down, Catwoman tilted her head curiously.
There was no problem with her sitting in the passenger seat, so why did she also come to the back?
Lin Luo glanced at the four pairs of black stockings beside him.
For a BOSS with taste, what could be more pleasing to the eye in the World than this?
The mixture of alcohol and body scent, tsk... a unique flavor.
"BOSS, then who will drive?" Natasha asked.
Lin Luo didn't answer, pressing a button on the side of his watch.
"Automatic driving mode has been activated for you."
As the announcement ended, two lifelike Zhenren (Immortals) popped out of the front driver's seat, performed actions like real people, started the car, and slowly drove out.
"???"
Natasha stared blankly at the scene, "So, you have an automatic driving mode, why did you still look for a driver?"
Lin Luo looked over, still not speaking, just watching.
"Uh, I get it." Natasha gave an awkward laugh.
AI driving versus beautiful women as companions; even a fool would know how to choose.
Thinking about it, the BOSS was quite cute. He was clearly a pervert, yet he hadn't made any substantial moves on them, but if you said he hadn't, his gaze was too direct.
Lin Luo turned to Catwoman: "Did you have something you wanted to say to me earlier?"
Catwoman was still in a daze. When her matter was suddenly brought up, her eyes uncontrollably tensed, and she dared not look directly into the BOSS's eyes.
"I... I am..." Catwoman hesitated, then gritted her teeth and said, "I am Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman's, mole sent into the Men in Black."
After speaking, Catwoman lowered her head, nervously awaiting the BOSS's judgment.
From her slightly trembling body, one could tell her current emotions.
Catwoman didn't feign pity; she knew that in front of the BOSS, no matter how real her act, it would be useless.
This was a genuine, unfeigned fear.
"Hm."
Lin Luo nodded thoughtfully, asking calmly, "And then?"
"Eh?" Catwoman raised her head in surprise, "You don't care? Someone like me should be treated as a traitor, shouldn't I?"
"There's no need for that."
Lin Luo's expression showed no fluctuation, as if nothing had happened, and he said:
"On this Planet, no one can hide anything from the Men in Black. So, I knew about your situation from the beginning. Also..."
"Never mind, there are some hidden secrets. In short, your actions are not considered betrayal."
This answer sounded very perfunctory, somewhat like giving her a pass?
Whether he truly didn't care or deliberately chose not to pursue it, this outcome was definitely the best.
At this moment, Catwoman's gaze towards the BOSS completely changed. Her eyes seemed to hold adoring starlight, sparkling brightly.
That look made Natasha, who was beside her, shake her head.
It seemed this cat-like woman was probably going to fall for him.
After all, who could resist such a magnificent, powerful, gentle, and caring BOSS?
"Oh, BOSS, there's one more thing!" Catwoman took out her phone and showed Lin Luo the message Batman had sent.
Lin Luo glanced at it, couldn't help but smile, and said, "This kid is still so interesting."
He raised his hand and patted the front seat.
"Go to Gotham City, destination Wayne Manor, Batcave."
"Okay, BOSS."
Buzz—!
Receiving the command, the automatic driving system performed an emergency brake drift, activated stealth flight mode, and swiftly flew towards Gotham.
Due to the high speed, inertia caused Lin Luo to fall forward, his hands accurately landing on the stockings on both sides... The atmosphere froze for three seconds.
Lin Luo looked left and right, then said seriously, "If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"
Natasha and Catwoman burst out laughing.
Believe him, of course they believed him.
So why hadn't his hands moved yet?
