Chapter 14: Help (1/2)
And that mutant ……
was talking about Logan?
Mike looked at Raven and said, “How do you know? Is it a phantom?”
“He’s one of yours? Wait!” Mike frowned and said, “Don’t say this is your territory?”
Otherwise, why would Raven be here?
Raven propped her chin up and gazed at Mike, her eyes tracing the arc of Mike’s face in the darkness.
Under the sharp black short hair, a pair of blue eyes is a bit less sharp than before, but you can still see the coldness buried deep in the eyes, a short stubble hanging on a handsome face…
The corners of Raven’s mouth are slightly hooked.
It seems to be more charming than in the past.
This is the Mike who became a father?
Raven looked at Mike’s slightly frowning brow, smiled lightly, and said, “You’re still as sharp as ever.”
The Hellfire Club was right here, and there was no place like it.
“Yes, this is our territory and Phantom is our man, and that island of Stryker’s, we’re looking for it.”
Phantom had joined the Hellfire Club since he quit Stryker’s X-Squad and came here shortly after.
“For those captured mutants?”
Hearing Mike mention it, Raven’s eyes went cold as she said, “Yes!”
Mike let out a deep breath and said, “You guys go find Remy Lebo, he should agree.”
“Remy Lebo ……” Raven said helplessly, “He has some problems with the club, so he refuses to cooperate, and he runs away when he sees our people.”
“And the Phantom?”
“Don’t worry, the phantom won’t be seen by him.” Raven spoke up and said, “Phantom said there was a new, suspected kindred spirit with the target, and went to Remy Lebo for that island thing, and asked me to come over and follow up, not expecting it to be you.”
Raven looked at Mike with a smile and arched her eyebrows.
Mike, however, said warily, “Don’t smile at me like that, nothing good is going to come of it.”
“Ehhh, I’m embarrassed to say that.” Raven laughed more and more happily, and then did not wait for Mike to speak, then quickly said: “After finding that island, give us the location.”
“This …… phantom will be able to do it, right?”
“Eh ah, this is not a precaution! In my eyes, you are the most reliable.”
Mike with a speechless face, said: “And really thank you for praising me so much.”
“You’re welcome.” Raven smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish, then said, “Tell me, how have you been these three years? And, how did you get involved with Stryker?”
“It’s been pretty good.” Mike briefly carried over, and then told Raven what happened on the farm.
Hearing that Mike’s house was smashed, Raven laughed heartlessly with tears coming out of her eyes.
Just then, Clark, who had been quietly watching the two, turned his head and said, “Pretty Auntie, do you and my dad know each other?”
Pretty Auntie?
Raven smiled happily, pinched Clark’s little face, and said, “Yeah.”
With a twinkle in her eye, she said, “Little one, did your daddy find you a mommy?”
“No!” Clark shook his head.
The corners of Raven’s mouth lifted.
Clark fluttered his eyes and said, “Do you want to be my mommy?”
The corner of Mike’s mouth twitched as he held Clark’s head down and said, “Watch the show.”
When Raven wanted to say something to Clark, Mike turned his head and said, “You say one more word, and I won’t help if I’m busy.”
Raven mischievously stretched out two fingers, pulled them past her mouth, and closed her mouth tightly.
Suddenly, Raven’s face changed and she said, “The phantom is dead.”
Mike looked to Raven.
Raven explained, “Died in the alley behind Remy Lebo, spine crushed.”
“Where’s Logan?”
Mike asked.
“He’s gone with Remy Lebo.” Raven looked at Mike and said, “It’s up to you now, let us know when you find the island.”
Mike frowned and said, “Are you going to the island too?”
Raven hesitated and said, “Go.”
