The New White King
It's early July.
That day, Li Chen led Lorna Dane and the Stepford Cuckoos to the Hellfire Club.
Today is a big day, and everyone is looking forward to it.
Of course, not in terms of career, but in terms of Li Chen's identity.
Magneto has already relinquished the title of White King, so this title naturally falls to Li Chen.
Both queens, who are the de facto controllers of the Hellfire Club, have arrived.
However, when the Stepford Cuckoos saw the White Queen, all five sisters exclaimed in unison, "Mama!"
"?"
Everyone in the room was stunned.
The White Queen's face darkened as well. "You weren't born of me, shut up."
This brings us to a dark chapter in her history: the Stepford Cuckoos are actually her clones.
After the existence of Mutants became known, naturally many mad scientists emerged.
They wanted to know the secrets of Mutants, so they conducted countless human studies, and many Mutants were harmed.
The Stepford Cuckoos were also created by a mad scientist who cloned and bred them using the White Queen's genes.
Genetic engineering in the Marvel Universe is extremely advanced, such as the Sentinels created using Mutants genes.
Sentinels can not only absorb Mutants abilities, but also evolve autonomously, becoming immune to the same deadly attacks.
This results in Mutants being completely helpless against the Sentinels.
However, I haven't seen this thing in this world.
The White Queen felt ashamed, but the Black Queen watched with amusement.
Selene, the Black Queen, was still wearing a black bodysuit, but now she wore a black cloak that flowed around her, making her look like she was walking on air.
It looked like someone had accidentally wandered into a Victoria's Secret show and witnessed the angels walking the runway.
"Okay, Emma Frost, I don't even have five daughters."
The Black Queen Selene deliberately said, "I wonder who could give me a child?"
She glanced at Li Chen seemingly casually; the battle for him had actually begun long ago.
The first time she saw Li Chen, she wanted to snatch Li Chen away from the White Queen.
However, at the time she didn't realize the extent of Li Chen's capabilities, and now that she knows, Li Chen regrets it.
So she decided to snatch Li Chen away.
The Emma Frost Vers noticed her unusual behavior and made up her mind.
"Go find Nig; they're good at giving away other people's children."
She suddenly confronted the Black Queen.
The Black Queen scoffed, "Thousands of years ago, they could only be my slaves."
Li Chen watched as the two women discriminated against each other without hesitation, and a smirk appeared on his face.
But thinking about it, I feel better about it.
The Black Queen, this 'old woman,' was an old knight. She had witnessed firsthand the change in the status of slaves, so naturally she couldn't adapt and must have been extremely opposed to it.
Thousands of years ago, or even hundreds of years ago, these guys would have fawned over her, but now they want to be her equals? No one can stand that.
White Queen to say, Boston is one of the most discriminatory places in the United States.
Bill Russell, the star player of the Boston Celtics at the time, was the pride of the team, but the Boston Cavaliers left a huge mess on his bed...
This led Bill Russell to fight against racial discrimination throughout his life, calling Boston a flea market for racism.
This proved to be true.
Boston is indeed an absolutely terrible place.
Given that the White Queen was born in such a place, her attitude is quite predictable.
The ceremony is about to begin.
At this point, someone mustered up the courage to speak up, and the two empresses gave a cold snort, their expressions softening.
Li Chen discovered that their arguments were no different from those of ordinary women.
Then, Li Chen put on the Batman mask.
The mask made the ladies present feel a little stinged.
"Could you change your mask?"
"Cannot."
Li Chen refused, saying, "Because I'm looking for the Joker."
Of course, no one wants to admit they are the Joker.
The ladies could only glare at him.
Li Chen glanced at it and saw that the Hellfire Club was clearly dominated by women.
His Mutants Kingdom is yet to be established, but Hellfire is already rapidly becoming his harem...
Then, the Emma Frost Vers came over and took Li Chen's arm, seemingly asserting her dominance.
The Black Queen, not to be outdone, grabbed Li Chen on the other side.
Li Chen didn't take any initiative at all; it was as if he was being held up.
When the three stepped onto the stage, there were already quite a few people from the Hellfire Club.
The vast majority of people wear their own masks; they belong to the elite of their respective fields.
Joining the Hellfire Club also requires verification of assets; only those with sufficient wealth who meet the standards can become members.
Besides that, Li Chen also saw many familiar faces.
Dazzler, Blink, Kitty Pryde, Polaris Lorna Dane, and others were all watching him from below the stage.
When the Black Queen announced, "The previous White King made outstanding contributions to the Hellfire Club, but he has grown old and decided to abdicate,"
"The new White King will be represented by the former White Rook..."
After Li Chen was confirmed as the White King, the ladies in the audience cheered.
Especially his eyes changed immediately when he looked at Blink and Polaris Lorna Dane, the two people connected to him, as if they were about to be drawn out.
The others also applauded, their eyes fixed on Li Chen with eager anticipation.
Without a doubt, Li Chen has become one of the leaders of the Hellfire Club.
Next, Li Chen enjoyed the adoration of the crowd, just like the hottest movie star.
This feeling of being admired is indeed exhilarating.
This gave Li Chen the illusion that he was an omnipotent God.
This is the taste of power.
No wonder so many people spend their entire lives searching for those two words.
Even Li Chen took some time to calm down.
Stay calm and don't let your guard down.
After Li Chen finished dealing with these people, the Emma Frost Vers came to his side.
The woman, holding two glasses of champagne, asked, "How are you? Tired?"
Li Chen took the glass and said, "It really feels great, like I have the whole world."
"You'll have even more fun once the Mutants Kingdom is established."
The White Queen seemed worried that he would lose sight of his goal.
Li Chen smiled and said, "That depends on how the Empress responds."
The White Queen simply smiled as she looked at him.
The two were very close, so Li Chen naturally understood what she meant.
Some people believe that kissing requires subtle hints; you need to understand the other person's signals in order to kiss.
But Li Chen thought there was no need for any hints; he should just kiss her directly.
To be blunt, if the other person rejects you, then you know there's no future for you two.
Therefore, Li Chen ignored whether it was a hint from the White Queen or not and directly attacked.
The Black Queen watched this scene from a short distance away, thinking to herself, "That shameless bitch beat me to it again."
