In the center of the hall, a middle-aged man in a navy robe sat ramrod straight on his black throne.
The Black King Sebastian Shaw scrutinized Emma with a cold face as she entered.
Standing beside the Black King was one of his most powerful men, a red-skinned man in a suit.
"Emma!" The Black King smiled reluctantly.
The Black King looked much younger than people expected; he might only be around 40 years old. He had short, light flaxen hair, clean-cut, angular facial features, and a cold gaze.
He was the Black King, always with a condescending and arrogant expression.
He saw the arrival of the White Queen. Immediately, he stood up from his throne, inviting the White Queen to meet him in the living room. This huge reception area in the hall was a sunken circular area nearly 10 meters in diameter, furnished with red leather sofas.
"If Red Devil is right…. Emma, the person who came with you from outside is The Purifier, correct?"
"Yes, he is. Mr. Sebastian." Emma didn't waste time, walking inside and sitting down in a chair.
"He defeated Loki and Lord Nabu. Indeed, Azazel. Red Devil wouldn't lie to me."
Red Devil Azazel, standing with his back against the wall, stepped forward.
"One of the Avengers, The Purifier, Xu Fu. We are all well aware of this. Their battle at New York Empire State University may not be known to the public, but we all know what happened there." Red Devil's tone was sharp, "Among all the Avengers, except for that God, we know everything about them."
Red Devil is one of the strongest Mutants in the World, with the ability to move through Space indefinitely. For Red Devil, there is no place on Earth he cannot reach.
The Black King leaned forward, "Emma, is he your boyfriend?"
Emma, sitting up straight, was in no mood for joking, and she shook her head.
"I thought you two were a couple." The Black King grinned.
Emma shifted her gaze, staring intently at the details of the entire hall.
"This hall, the sofas, the bookshelves, the armchairs, were all designed by you." The Black King laughed.
Emma stroked the red sofa beside her, trying hard to recall: "Mr. Sebastian, how many years have I been here?"
A melancholy flashed in the Black King's eyes, and he turned to leave. "Have you forgotten? Emma?"
She, however, was very honest: "I have completely forgotten."
The Black King seemed to call her name very sincerely, but Emma was not moved at all.
The Black King said in a low voice. "A rest will clear your memory. Just like that Charles did over a decade ago. He also tried to clear my memory. But later, the memories gradually returned."
"When you were 12 years old, you ran away from that terrible orphanage. I was the one who protected you, Emma. From the age of 12, I sent you to a noble school in the suburbs of Los Angeles, while teaching you about your abilities. Until you were 18 years old, you officially joined the Hellfire Club, becoming a member of Solomon's Warriors."
"...However, just two years ago, in an accident, you were taken away by Viper, who saw your abilities. Now you managed to return to my side, but you don't remember anything."
Emma was a little puzzled. Was what the Black King said true?
"My White Queen, from now on, you will rest here with me. Your telepathic abilities are strong, and I believe you will gradually return to normal life."
The Black King looked at the White Queen with pity, as if she were his daughter. As Xu Fu predicted, the Black King was undoubtedly the creator of the White Queen.
But the strange expression on the Black King's face, the excessive pretense, made Emma feel a little uneasy. As a superior, he seemed too weak.
If the Black King trained me, why didn't he save me from the reunion? Even the Brothers of the Guangfuhui wouldn't do things as mercifully as he does.
"Emma, I am very happy that you are back," Sebastian said, "Stay here. This is your home."
Emma's eyes were gloomy, and she did not respond to the Black King's proposal. "I want to see where I used to live first."
"No problem, Azazel, take her in."
Red Devil walked up to Emma and grabbed her hand!
The two disappeared on the spot, scattering red smoke...
Red Devil's displacement ability is very similar to that of Blue Devil, but much stronger, and the Space movement is more stable and direct.
In the blink of an eye, Emma returned to the White Queen's boudoir in the Hellfire Club.
An empty bedroom.
White walls and floor tiles. A white Triangle piano, cream-colored statuettes, and white pictures on the walls. It has a lot of white, even a little depressing.
This room is the White Queen's boudoir, and as part of the Hellfire Club, she has lived here for several years.
The endless memories of the past flooded into the White Queen's mind, and she gradually began to see the details of her blurred memories!!!!.
"There's something I must tell you, Miss Frost."
Emma turned around and looked at Red Devil behind her. This red-skinned Azazel looked out of place in the entire room.
"If I don't tell you, it will be hard to hold back."
Red Devil sat down on the chair by the bed.
"Actually, the Black King is hiding something," Red Devil said mockingly, "Except for you, all the members of Solomon are dead."
"What do you mean?"
"Two years ago, you were the vice-captain of the Solomon squad. Sebastian. Shaw took you and your troops to Vixen Island."
"Vixen Island, isn't that an island in the Caribbean Sea?"
"That's right, the island he built with his own hands, a future paradise for Mutants."
"Solomon's squad…" Emma murmured to herself.
"However, the Entertainment Association set a trap on the island, and Viper surrounded the Black King and your squad," Red Devil said coldly, "At that time, the Black King had just experienced a fierce battle with Magneto and was unable to fight against the Entertainment Association at all. He used Solomon's squad to create chaos, and took advantage of the chaos to board a helicopter and leave the island alone."
Emma continued. "So, all the members of the Solomon squad are dead, and I am the only one alive."
Red Devil. "Uh, yes…"
"...Azazel. I remember everything, actually." Emma. Frost simply replied: "It's nothing. That's the only way he could survive. Those dead members of the Solomon squad were just Scum anyway."
Red Devil said rather seriously: "This is why Sebastian - Shaw didn't come to find you. He may be more powerful than Magneto, Professor X, or Viper, but the Hellfire Club is too weak."
Emma Frost smiled and said: "What I did in the past is no different from what the Entertainment Association did. It's nothing more than seeking benefits for the Black King, nothing more than creating chaos and profiting from it."
"Now I don't want to serve the Black King anymore, and I won't go back." She put the photo on the table and put the two white dolls into her bag.
Chapter 243 New Life in Los Angeles (Part 1)
When Emma put her hand on herself and rushed out of the Hellfire Club, Xu Fu was stunned...
It was already late at night, eleven o'clock.
Fifth Avenue in Los Angeles was shrouded in darkness. The dim and hazy streetlights were unable to offset the darkness overhead.
Rumble...
Two sports cars roared past us, their roar instantaneous. After a turn, the two chasing luxury cars disappeared into the air.
Emma didn't say a word, carrying a suitcase in one hand, and led Xu Fu towards the intersection of Fifth Avenue and the sidewalk.
The crossroads were equally cold and deathly quiet. The White Queen opened her cloak in the cold wind, her white shirt and golden long hair fluttering in the cold wind.
"Roy, I have nowhere else to go."
"What's wrong, why don't you ~ stay in the club?"
"It may be very meaningless." Emma replied, "I don't want to work for those people. -"
"There are not many people left in the Hellfire Club. Except for Azazel, those friends are all dead." Emma was ashamed, drawing circles on the floor with her fingers. "Now I don't even know - where to go."
"I'll take you to a hotel…" Xu Fu said rather coldly, earnestly.
"What about you? You came to Los Angeles but have nowhere to live?" Emma asked.
Xu Fu: "I have an apartment on Gower _ street."
Gower _ Street, only a stone's throw away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Xu Fu rented this apartment to make the next step in Los Angeles easier.
"This apartment, two people living in it, should be no problem, right?"
Emma's words sent a chill down Xu Fu's spine...
Miss, you don't want to live with me, do you?
"Emma, I'll rent you a five-star hotel…"
"You don't need to spend that money, tonight, otherwise I'll just live at your place."
Xu Fu was a little puzzled, "I've already accompanied you to the Hellfire Club, are you still going to hit on me?"
"Hey, Sheet…" Emma rarely burst out, "It's so late, who cares if I spend the night in your apartment? Aren't there two beds in Yong Boss's rental house?"
Maybe I'm too shy? Alas, now that I've become handsome, I'm still the same fool. No wonder I've been single for more than 20 years before this.
"Okay, we're ready to take a taxi. I'm still waiting for you to tell me where Butterfly Spirit is." Xu Fu replied with great interest, which resulted in a similar satisfied smile from Emma.
.... Finally, after waiting for a taxi, the two finally arrived at an apartment building on Gower Street.
Xu Fu's rental apartment is on the last 20th floor. In addition to having a glass balcony with a wide view, there is also a staggered two-story structure. The three bedrooms, living room, and large balcony are on the three steps above the foyer, while the kitchen, bathroom, and foyer are on the floor below.
As for the decoration and furniture of this apartment building, there is nothing to say. You should know that renting this place costs $2,000 a month.
"Such a big house? And it's so beautifully decorated!" Emma glanced at the house, "Let me live here for free for a while, and when I earn money, it will definitely be no less than the rent."
Excuse me? Are you planning to live in my apartment all the time?
"Didn't you say you were only staying for one night? How come you're staying so late again?"
