Are the Prettiest Women the Best Liars?

Night fell.

Li Chen and the White Queen emerged from the small room.

Today, the Hellfire Club has no ordinary members; all the members are high-ranking Mutants.

Even the Black Queen, whom I've only met once, has appeared.

Only the mysterious Black King has yet to be found.

The party atmosphere was already quite lively, but when Li Chen and the White Queen came out, the crowd fell silent.

In their minds, the Emma Frost Vers was an Iceburg -like beauty who was always indifferent to them and had a very arrogant expression.

But now, she's following behind Li Chen, seemingly indicating that he's the one in charge.

It is precisely this invisible platform that has led many to re-examine this newly promoted White Rook.

Li Chen immediately noticed a group of people surrounding an older man, whose handsome appearance in his youth could be vaguely discerned.

Moreover, even inside the Hellfire Club, he still carefully wore an Adamantium helmet...

No need to ask, you know this is Magneto.

Only he would be so scared, wearing a helmet wherever he goes.

After all, the White Queen also possesses Mind Stone sensing, so he needs to be on guard.

Magneto walked over and asked, "White Rook?"

Li Chen nodded. "Magneto, hello."

He didn't call the other party "White King," which made Magneto's gaze sharpen.

Erik then said meaningfully, "Young people shouldn't aim too high, and besides, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you."

The two queens of the Hellfire Club are no pushovers.

These two women are both incredibly cunning.

Li Chen laughed and said, "It's not that the prettier the woman, the better she is at lying; it's that nobody believes an ugly woman's lies."

These words earned him an eye roll from the women present.

Ha, men!

Li Chen didn't care about the White Queen's thoughts; he just wanted to subdue her.

Unless she truly transforms into Diamond Form, she absolutely cannot withstand Li Chen's Man of Steel.

Gwen Stacy would agree with that.

After that, Magneto said no more, but instead had a maid bring two glasses of wine, drank with Li Chen, and then went to the side.

However, those around him were all hostile to Li Chen.

Li Chen glanced around and saw that the Mutants around Magneto were all quite powerful.

He's a guy who values ability above all else; things like character don't matter.

The White Queen and the Black Queen also have a group of people around them, but none of them are known for their strength.

This is what Li Chen found interesting; it's supposed to be a Hellfire Club, but it actually has several subgroups within it.

Indeed, struggle is everywhere.

Actually, Li Chen also had several people around him.

Those are Li Qianhuan, Kitty Pryde, and Dazzler.

Their eyes were as innocent as those of college students who hadn't yet graduated; they didn't know where to go, so they surrounded Li Chen.

It's like they're forming a small clique.

And so, the party proceeded in this eerie atmosphere.

Magneto, the White Queen, and the Black Queen each gave a speech.

Just as Li Chen had predicted, Magneto was indeed promoting his theory of Mutants. He believed that Mutants should rule over humanity, not be ruled by humans.

This drew cheers from his supporters.

Li Qianhuan and the others frowned and asked, "Boss, is this even possible?"

"Impossible."

Li Chen shook his head. "How many Mutants do you have? How many humans do you have?"

"If each of you spat on me, I could drown you all."

They were all graduates of the X Academy, and were influenced by Professor X's ideas, so naturally they weren't interested in this kind of thing.

Hearing Li Chen's words now, it really made sense.

"But by doing this, he will only worsen the relationship between humanity and us."

"Dazzler's what Alison said at this moment."

Once all three had finished speaking, the party officially began.

There was nothing else but alcohol and food; it was much more serious than a typical party.

The party was much more open, though. One female Mutants got drunk and threw off her top, revealing scales growing all over her body.

Some Mutants even revealed their wings.

Their abilities are quite diverse.

"Alison, would you be interested in performing?"

Li Chen asked.

"Yes, Alison, I want to hear you sing."

Both Kitty Pryde and Li Qianhuan support it.

They used to enjoy listening to Dazzler sing when they were at the X Academy.

Her voice is beautiful; she's truly talented.

Dazzler wasn't intimidated and immediately went up.

Then she began to sing.

As a woman destined to become a superstar, how could she possibly be afraid of such a small occasion?

The moment she opened her mouth, it was like heavenly music, attracting everyone's attention.

Where did this girl come from?

"He came from the X Academy, and now he's with the White Rook."

"X Academy? A bunch of naive and innocent girls."

"..."

A group of people immediately started discussing it, and without hesitation, they labeled Dazzler as Li Chen.

Li Chen now understands why there have been so many 'factions' throughout history.

Because people not only like to form cliques themselves, but they also like to categorize others into a faction.

Sticking together for warmth is human nature.

When the song ended, Kitty Pryde and Li Qianhuan applauded loudly, and Li Chen was also very satisfied.

This was the first time he had ever heard Dazzler sing, and Dazzler had even used her mutant ability to emit a ball of light, creating a stage effect.

Unfortunately, she can't use this ability in front of ordinary people, otherwise she would definitely become a sensation.

A woman with natural stage presence—who can compare?

Moreover, she sings really well.

Although Li Chen is not a professional, he can still tell whether a singer sounds good or not.

Just like beauty and ugliness, although everyone has their own aesthetic sense, it cannot be denied that you can fool yourself, but you can't fool your younger brother.

You can say that someone who is extremely ugly is beautiful, but you won't get excited about it.

Everyone has different standards for what constitutes beauty, but they will never consider someone ugly to be beautiful—that's the common ground.

Li Chen was referring to LGBTQ+ issues, which haven't yet affected Hollywood.

Unlike later films, which all had to have a dark element, even the female lead was dark.

But what happened? They deliberately didn't look for beautiful black pearls; the uglier the pearl, the more satisfied they were...

Are there no beautiful Black Pearls? Of course not. Look at Iman Bowie, Tyra Banks, and Naomi Campbell; they are all famous Black Pearls and supermodels. Their beauty has amazed the world.

But it seems like Hollywood is blind; they just want to find people who are fat and have unattractive features.

Moreover, this trend has even affected the gaming industry. As a result, female protagonists in games are made to look old and have ugly features, deliberately disgusting and irritating players, making them feel uncomfortable when they see those ugly faces.

But if you actually look at the face models of these characters who are made to look ugly, they are actually quite beautiful.

But some people insist on distorting your perceptions, making you think that ugly people are beautiful.
