Karl had naturally never heard the name "Raymond", but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he understood why "Raymond" came to him.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. In the supernatural world, this situation often happens.
Especially for those extraordinary people who have joined the organization, it is more common.
In addition, it is also very common for families to have multiple mutants at the same time, such as the famous 'Cyclops' and 'Havok' brothers among the mutants, which are examples.
He hadn't specifically investigated Clarice's family background before, and he didn't know that Clarice actually had an older brother.
But this kind of thing that you can know with a casual check, the other party will not lie to him.
"Mr. Raymond is here to help his sister?" Karl, who knew the identity of the other party, felt relieved, "Actually, you don't have to. I'm just here to invite her, no malice..."
'Raymond' said indifferently: "But I don't really want her to be involved in these disturbances too early. As for what will happen in the future, I want to wait until she becomes an adult before making her own decision."
Karl shook his head and said, "You're late."
"No, no, it's not too late..." A wicked smile formed on the corner of Raymond's mouth: "If you mean the few cannon fodders you sent to arrest people, I've already solved it for you."
"What did you say?!" Karl's face suddenly sank.
"There is no way, they are all armed with guns, and they are very fierce. In order to prevent them from making any unwise actions, I have to send them on the road." 'Raymond' shrugged.
"I'm afraid you don't understand who you are facing!" Karl said in a bad tone.
"Isn't it the Hellfire Club?" 'Raymond' pretended to be surprised.
"You--"
"Don't get so worked up, I just stopped by to interrogate them before sending them on their way." 'Raymond' said with a smirk, "This is how I know that Mr. Carl is actually the titular 'Black Knight', tsk tsk."
"How dare they betray the club!" Karl gritted his teeth.
"This... I really can't blame them. There shouldn't be many people in this world who can stand up to my personal interrogation. I believe that if it was you Mr. Karl, the result will be no different."
"You actually killed my men, and still dared to see me?"
"Anyway, touch your back..."
Touch the back?
Karl didn't understand why 'Raymond' said it that, but he didn't ask any further questions. He touched his back to see what kind of tricks Raymond was going to play.
As soon as his hand touched his back, he found that a note had been pasted on his back at some point, which made him look gloomy immediately.
But it's not over yet.
When he took off the note, he saw that there was actually a line of words written on the note, and when he saw the the words, his face became even more ugly!
Because what was written on this note was the perfect way to restrain his ability!
Moreover, 'Raymond' was able to paste this note on his back without him noticing it, which was enough to prove that 'Raymond' could easily use the method on the note to kill him!
If John and Lorna saw this note before, he might be on his knees now.
After folding the note a few times and tearing it to shreds, he said solemnly, "Even if you can beat me, are you sure you can withstand the revenge from the club?"
"If you can be sure, do you think I'm still standing here talking nonsense to you?" 'Raymond' sneered.
Carl was silent for a while, then said, "I can leave here, no saying anything..."
"I don't believe what you said." 'Raymond' interrupted him directly.
"Then what do you want me to do?!" Karl was also a little annoyed.
"Help me contact the person who can make the decision in your club, I want to communicate with him directly." 'Raymond' said his request.
"This..."
"Why, don't want to? Then I'll just kill you and wait for them to come to me."
"Wait! I agree!" Karl responded quickly.
He actually didn't believe that 'Raymond' really dared to kill him directly, especially since 'Raymond' had already obtained some information about the Hellfire Club from the people under him.
But he didn't dare to gamble, because the stake was his life.
Once he loses, there is no chance of a comeback, and he doesn't need to gamble with his life.
So after a short struggle, he changed back to his original form, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number——
After connecting, he briefly communicated with the other side, and then handed over the phone to 'Raymond'.
'Raymond' took the call,
Only a slightly rough voice came from the other end of the conversation:
"I am the Black King..."
A simple introduction has already made 'Raymond' confirm that the opposite is indeed the one who can call the shots.
According to the rules of the Hellfire Club, both the black king and the white king are the supreme leaders of the club, and there is no distinction between them.
But as the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers. Most of the time, one of the positions is vacant. If you want two positions at the same time, unless you both recognize that the other is no less than yourself in all aspects.
But this is extremely rare.
At this time, who is the top of the Hellfire Club, even Raymond doesn't know, and
Kuro's sub-personality naturally has no way to guess. After all, his knowledge of the Hellfire Club comes from Raymond.
But he didn't need to know who the other party was, anyway, all he wanted was a chance to negotiate.
"Hello, I'm Raymond."
"Well, I've already heard from Karl about the general situation, tell me your purpose." The unknown black king on the other end of the phone said, entering straight to the point.
"I would like to join your club."
"You can."
"Mr. Black King, don't rush to agree, I have a request..."
"Oh?"
"I want a title!"
"This is not in line with the rules." The black king on the other end of the phone said solemnly, "You can make Karl not hold you accountable for the people who you killed, and prove that you are strong enough to be recognized by him... But if you want to become a core member of the club, you must contribute enough to the club, I can't promise you directly."
"Mr. Black King, don't fool me with such words. The rules are made by people and can be changed by people. I believe that you have the right to change the rules, Mr. ..." 'Raymond' smiled lightly.
"Why do you think I will break the rules of the club for you?"
"Because I have a lot of confidence in myself."
Hearing this, the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, the black king on the other end continued, "I will come to Richmond in person tomorrow—"
After speaking, the phone was hung up.
