"Riptide, how can you talk to His Majesty Namor like this? He is the king of Atlantis, Master of the Seven Seas!"
Sebastian was furious when he heard this, as if he himself was questioned and insulted, his eyes were full of anger.
Such a reaction made Namor, who was about to express his opinion, secretly moved.
He has lacked the family warmth provided by his parents since he was a child. His father was killed by the Atlantis, and his mother was forced by the tradition of the kingdom to dare not stand up and speak for herself.
Even the tribesmen who were supposed to call Namor their prince looked at him with strange eyes, treating him as a freak and wanting to expel him from Atlantis's territory.
Sebastian-Xiao's protection and recognition simply surprised Namor.
The young man nicknamed "Riptide" frowned and retorted unwillingly, "Mr. Shaw, we all respect you. But this does not mean that you can get everyone's approval if you just find someone to be the leader."
"Before this, we have never seen Namor, and we don't know what kind of abilities he has. Just because he is the king of Atlantis, do we have to obey? Does Hellfire Club really want to hand over the future of our compatriots to a stranger easily?"
Riptide is completely absorbed in the drama, his face is red and veins are popping out on his forehead, he looks like a passionate young man who thinks about his compatriots.
As soon as these words were uttered, they aroused the echo of blockbusters.
Except for Sebastian-Xiao who remained silent, and White Queen Emma, everyone else agreed.
Next, fierce quarrels and discussions ensued.
It's like a stage play that has been rehearsed in advance. Some people play the good part, and some people play the bad part.
Sebastian acts as the defender of Namor, while Mutants, headed by Riptide, expresses opposition, and the two sides are at a stalemate.
"Enough!"
Namor, who didn't realize at all that all this was a routine, stopped everyone.
He thought that Sebastian-Xiao sincerely supported him and had sympathy for the tragic fate of his compatriots.
If the new king of Atlantis could calm down and think about it, he would find many strange things that were wrong.
Unfortunately, when the high ground of IQ is occupied by impulsive emotions, reason becomes a useless thing that is thrown behind us.
"Mr. Shaw, what they said makes sense. Although we are both Mutants, we have never been in contact with or have an in-depth understanding of it, so we are still relatively unfamiliar. Besides, as a new member, it is indeed inappropriate to rashly take the position of leader."
Namor generously showed his understanding and continued, "Fellow compatriots, I am also a Mutants. The innate ability given to me by God is flying. In addition, I can also breathe underwater and resist the cold and pressure of the deep sea."
"I awakened my ability when I was sixteen years old. At that time, I slipped and fell down the subway steps. I thought I would be bruised and swollen, but I didn't expect that I could float in mid-air, as if I had escaped gravity."
Sebastian's eyes flickered as he quietly wrote down the information.
Then, he glared at Riptide and said, "Are you satisfied? Namor has shown his sincerity. He is indeed on the side of Mutants, and he is also eager to save the suffering compatriots. This is completely in line with the original intention of Hellfire Club's establishment."
"Mr. Shaw, I would like to apologize to Namor-McKenzie."
Riptide's attitude softened and he said sincerely, "Namor, I hope you can forgive me for being rude just now. This is all out of caution. We hide in the darkness and have seen too many ugly and despicable human natures."
The drama ended successfully. After the quarrel and reconciliation, Namor developed a strange sense of belonging to Hellfire Club, as if he had blended in and was completely accepted by his compatriots.
So, he said solemnly, "Human beings will always be afraid of unknown things, and then raise the butcher knife. I can understand your feelings. During those years of living in Manhattan, I was often bullied. After awakening my natural ability, I was even regarded as a freak. It was not until I returned to Atlantis, gained the recognition of my tribe, and inherited the throne that I found my true self."
"So, I am very willing to do something for my compatriots. I have this idea not because I want to be the leader of Mutants, but because we have all suffered a lot and we should unite with each other..."
"Namor is right!"
Sebastian took the time to interrupt.
He did not intend to give the other party a chance to establish prestige and win people's hearts.
Hellfire Club is a bargaining chip for him to seize power and status. How can he get the performance of Namor, a young boy.
"By the way, Riptide, Red Devil, why didn't Azazel come?"
Sebastian changed the topic, frowned and asked, "Today is the club's party day, he shouldn't be absent."
"Mr. Shaw...Azazel can't come."
After receiving the prompt to enter the next stage of the performance, Riptide looked sad and lowered his head and said, "He was arrested by the military and put in prison. During this time, many compatriots were caught. They suffered unimaginable horrific torture and were reduced to cold corpses on the operating table."
"Hellfire Club's abilities are limited and cannot fight against Federal Government. Not to mention that the person responsible for capturing Mutants is the Pentagon's youngest major general. The one who defeated Axis Powers is Superman!"
Sebastian glanced at Namor, who was accumulating anger points, and added jealously, "It turns out to be the devil Luke-Cahill! I heard his name when I was in Europe. He is an ambitious and unscrupulous guy. The so-called War Hero, Allied Superman are all packaged illusions."
"Poor Azazel, he may be lying on the operating table now, enduring cruel human experiments."
Namor himself is an impulsive character. When he heard Sebastian say this, he couldn't help clenching his fists and his face was as sinking as water.
"Should we just sit back and watch as our compatriots are being hunted?"
he asked angrily.
"Namor, you may not know yet. Luke-Cahill are not ordinary people. He is the product of military human experimentation. The legendary Super Soldier once penetrated Axis Powers alone and penetrated an army. Even a group of bombers could not harm him."
Sebastian spoke earnestly and sighed, "Hellfire Club alone cannot deal with Superman. What's more, he is also an army major general, leading an intelligence agency named S.H.I.E.L.D., with Federal Government's support behind him."
"I am the king of Atlantis!"
Namor's eyebrows stood upright, his head held high, exuding a domineering aura.
To him, what does a major general from a Land Civilization country mean?
Obviously Sebastian's dissuasion did not work, but instead added fuel to the fire - this is the result he wanted to see.
"Luke-Cahill! Superman! I will not sit back and watch my compatriots be Carnage, arrested, and treated cruelly like social animals."
Namor said loudly.
"Mr. Shaw, Hellfire Club, it's time to take action! We can no longer hide ourselves and escape from reality! The human world should know what kind of powerful power Mutants has!"
"But... how can we fight against Superman?"
Sebastian asked hesitantly.
"Hmph! Superman, let me solve it!"
Namor crossed his arms and looked at the outside world through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The gathering dark clouds, silver lightning, and raging sea are just like the curtain of Atlantis stepping onto the world stage.
"I will let that guy know that there are stronger warriors than him in this world!"
