"You humans can always tell the most beautiful and beautiful lies in the world while killing your fellow humans mercilessly without even a trace of mercy."
White Queen said half sarcastically, half seriously.
"Mr. Major General, how can I make sure that what you just said comes from the heart, and is not like the promises of politicians, the conscience of businessmen, or the sweet words of men... These are neither credible nor reliable."
Luke is satisfied that the conversation is back on track. He does not want his partner to be a perceptual creature who is too emotional and difficult to think rationally.
Sometimes, sit down and discuss the benefits more candidly.
It is far more practical and effective than talking about love and dreams.
"Verbal guarantees may not be credible, but words written in black and white in the contract may not be binding enough."
Luke said lightly.
"Sincerity depends on actions."
White Queen nodded, agreeing with this view.
He subconsciously let go of his hands, no longer maintaining the defensive posture of crossing his chest.
This proves that her original vigilance towards Luke is loosening.
After realizing this, the major general's smile became gentler and he said in a slower tone, "With all due respect, Miss Frost, what you said before is not only true of humans, it is the instinct of natural creatures."
"Future history books may include the North America colonists Carnage Native Americans, the medieval church burning witches, Third Reich's extermination of Jews... all of them will be written down."
"But this is not to prove that human beings are born with a love of killing and have a cruel and cruel nature, but to warn future generations of the terrible impact greed, ignorance and ambition will have on this world."
"Any biological species that possesses intelligence and knows how to think is very complex. If we simply use the binary concept of good and evil to judge and measure, we can only form the inherent cognition of pride and prejudice."
White Queen sat with her legs crossed, her graceful and beautiful curves no longer tightened, but gradually relaxed.
"To be honest, Mr. Major General, you remind me of my teacher in college."
she said.
Luke smiled slightly. White Queen, who was born in a wealthy family of Boston, has an obvious teacher plot.
As far as the timeline he knew, Emma-Frost almost became a teacher with the support of his parents.
Later, he also briefly cooperated with Bald Professor.
Joined Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and served as principal for a period of time.
Later, he changed camps and positions several times, mostly as the teacher and leader of the younger generation Mutants.
Therefore, people with Mind Stone abilities are probably very suitable for education work.
"I just hope he's not some nasty bald guy who likes to take advantage of young schoolgirls, that would be really depressing."
Luke shrugged and said in a humorous tone.
The atmosphere in the suite living room gradually relaxed.
"No. He's young like you... handsome, especially when he talks, confident and infectious."
Luke keenly caught the dim light in White Queen's eyes and guessed that the other party had obviously had a not-so-perfect teacher-student relationship.
"Then he is really a lucky guy to have an admirer like Miss Frost."
He continued to cut into the topic as if making small talk.
"I was just ignorant when I was young."
White Queen shook her head, she did have a crush on that university teacher.
It's a pity that the ignorant first love died tragically before it could bear fruit because of Mutants's identity.
This was one of the reasons that prompted her to leave Boston.
Mutants is like a disgusting infectious disease, making White Queen suffer discrimination and rejection.
She could only keep warm by joining a group with her compatriots, thus gaining a slight sense of security and identity.
"Let's get back to the topic, Mr. Major General. How to establish trust between Hellfire Club and S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
White Queen put aside distracting thoughts and realized that she relaxed her guard too easily in front of Luke, which was very abnormal for a Mind Stone ability user.
Most of the time, you should be the one taking the lead.
"When Peace Summit is convened, S.H.I.E.L.D. will recommend White House to promote relevant bills to improve the situation of Mutants."
Luke said firmly.
"At that time, Miss Frost can see my sincerity."
White Queen couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard this.
She is not a careerist like Sebastian-Xiao. She just wants to use Mutants as a tool to win enough power and status for herself.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. can really facilitate this matter, then it is not impossible for Hellfire Club to change its stance.
"But... there are actually many people in the club who are loyal fans of Xiao."
White Queen After thinking for a moment, he felt a little embarrassed.
If she agreed, wouldn't she be convicted of being a "traitor" and an "informer"?
"I said before, every living thing has the nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
Luke said in a relaxed tone.
Sebastian-When Xiao was alive, he was not his opponent.
Could it be that if he died, what kind of trouble could he cause?
Mr. Major General stopped his smile and said calmly, "Mutants's hatred and resentment towards human beings mostly come from the tragic experience of being persecuted and abused."
"But, Miss Frost, you probably don't know that the previous king of Hellfire Club, Sebastian-Xiao, once selected four hundred and thirty-one people in Auschwitz concentration camp. They were all prisoners between the ages of sixteen and thirty."
"Miss Frost, do you know what he did?"
Feeling Luke's calm tone, White Queen felt a little palpitated, and subconsciously asked, "What did Xiao do?"
"Like livestock, they were driven into the steam chamber, endured the intense heat that caused fainting and dehydration, and then were thrown into wooden barrels filled with ice cubes."
"In addition, there are non-stop electric shock treatments, hours of beatings, Lash, and even sleep deprivation, etc. All kinds of torture are performed on these people until they die."
White Queen felt chills run down her spine. Through Luke's calm description, she felt as if she had witnessed those cruel scenes with her own eyes.
She couldn't help but ask, "Xiao... why did he do this?"
As members who joined Hellfire Club later, Emma-Frost became "queens" not because of their qualifications, but because of their personal abilities.
Therefore, it can be said that she knows nothing about Sebastian-Xiao's past.
"Why do you do this?"
Luke said with a slight sarcasm, "Because he is trying to find out the code hidden in Mutants X-Gene that opens the door to evolution."
"Sebastian-Xiao is a graduate of the Oxford University Biological Sciences Academy. The X-Gene in his body is recessive and will not awaken his natural abilities in his teenage years."
"But this guy is very smart. He discovered that X-Gene can easily produce magical changes similar to chemical effects in response to external stimulation - especially violent emotional fluctuations."
"The above torture is just to find the rules of genetic changes, so as to master the method of 'manufacturing' Mutants."
White Queen's red lips were slightly open, as if she was shocked.
She did not expect that the king of Hellfire Club, who always said that he wanted to fight for better rights and higher status for his compatriots, had such a dark history behind his back.
"Is all this true?"
White Queen was a little hard to believe. She once regarded Sebastian-Xiao as Mutants's savior, a great the Mentor who was worthy of trust.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has detailed files inside. If you have any doubts, you can check it yourself. Of course, documents can be forged, but the crimes committed will always leave traces. Poland has several concentration camp survivors, and they are very familiar with the evil deeds of the 'King'."
Luke looked at White Queen, who was dubious, and said in a deep voice, "As a Mind Stone capable person, there should be very few people in this world who can lie in front of you. I believe that when the time comes, you will naturally be able to make the right judgment."
"Miss Frost, as long as you reveal the ugly face of Sebastian-Xiao, you will transform from a 'traitor' and a 'whistleblower' to the first 'hero' who discovers the truth and has the courage to take action to save his compatriots."
Luke spread his hands, indicating that this is the most perfect ending.
Anyway, Deadman can't speak, so all the charges should be placed on Sebastian-Xiao's head.
If Hellfire Club is Mutants, your view of White Queen will gradually change.
White Queen stared straight at Luke, and after a while he sighed, "Mr. Major General, you are more like a Mind Stone person with the ability to rewrite facts and manipulate thinking than I am."
"It's just taking advantage of the nature of living things. Frost - can I call you Emma? I think Hellfire Club is happy to accept a new king, and... a new queen."
Luke picked up the wine glass, handed it to White Queen, and said with a smile, "Emma, let's drink to Mutants's bright future."
The latter was silent for a moment, and then took the glass of whiskey on the rocks.
The wine glasses collided, making a crisp sound.
This conversation, which was originally a question, turned into a discussion about the leader of Hellfire Club and the future of Mutants.
Even White Queen himself doesn't know why this is happening.
Everything seemed to be executed accurately according to the written script.
"Black King is dead. Mr. Major General, do you want to become White King of Hellfire Club?"
White Queen took a sip of the cold liquid, feeling as if he had broken free from heavy shackles and was no longer affected by the opinions of his compatriots.
She had to admit that if Luke did what he said, Mutants would have a better future.
Thinking that he can save his suffering compatriots and become a... hero.
Emma's heart is ready to move.
"What's the problem? We already have a queen in the club, so of course we need a king."
Luke put down the glass and stood up.
"I think I'm very suitable, what do you think?"
White Queen also left the sofa, raised his head slightly, and looked at the tall young major general, with a smile on his lips, "I think so too."
