Chapter 56: Don't Worry.

　　"Mr. Raymond, what does this mean?" John was slightly surprised.

　　"Literally." Raymond said calmly, "If you encounter this situation again, do you think you rookies can protect her? Or, if any of them encounter a situation similar to today's, with such trouble, how can your organization help?"

　　"To be honest, I don't see any need for her to mix with you. A group of rookies who can't protect themselves, even if they form a group, they can't solve any problems..."

　　"Brother! How can you talk like that?" Clarice was a little anxious.

　　"Shut up, I haven't settled the account with you!" Raymond glared at her.

　　When Clarice heard Raymond talk about her account, she nearly fainted.

　　However, Clarice slumped on this side, but Lorna couldn't sit still on the other side, and said unconvinced: "This time it was that guy playing tricks, and Kelky's ability which was suddenly unstable, so we were so passive, If we had been more vigilant, this would never have happened."

　　"You think so too?" Raymond looked at Clarice.

　　Clarice didn't answer.

　　But from her expression, Raymond could tell that she thought so too.

　　Raymond shook his head and asked, "Hellfire Club, have you heard of this name?"

　　Hearing the name, both Clarice and Lorna looked blank, apparently hearing this name for the first time, while Sonia frowned slightly, as if recalling something.

　　Only John's expression changed suddenly.

　　"Looks like you know." Raymond looked at him.

　　"I once heard from an older mutant that it was said to be the oldest mutant organization in existence today, long before the 'Brotherhood of Mutants' and the 'X-Men'... "John said.

　　"It turned out to be that organization!"

　　Sonia seemed to remember something, and immediately reacted, "Mr. Raymond, are you saying that those people just now came from the Hellfire Club?"

　　"Not bad." Raymond nodded slightly.

　　Hearing Raymond's confirmation, John's heart sank violently!

　　Unlike Lorna, although Lorna has also awakened her ability for a long time, it was not the first time she stepped into this circle until she joined the mutant underground organization, and she did not know much about mutants.

　　But John came into contact with this circle much earlier than she did, and knew how terrifying a mysterious and and old mutant organization like the Hellfire Club could be.

　　The mutant underground organization he led was not necessarily ranked third-rate among the many mutant organizations.

　　How big is the gap between the two, how could he not count it?

　　However, John knew that the situation was not good, but Lorna, who didn't know the background of the Hellfire Club, was still unconvinced, "So what if it has existed for a long time? I don't think that guy is too powerful, that is, the tortoise shell is relatively hard. It's just a little bit, I don't believe he is really invincible!"

　　"Of course he is not invincible, no ability can be without flaws." Raymond said.

　　"That's it, we have nothing to be afraid of!" Lorna saw that Raymond agreed with herself, and she was more confident.

　　"Little girl, don't you think that just now is the boss of the Hellfire Club?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head.

　　"Isn't it?" Lorna was taken aback.

　　"Theoretically, there should be sixteen core members of the Hellfire Club. The guy just now is only one of them, and he is still the weaker one..." Raymond told the truth.

　　There is nothing wrong with this statement.

　　Since the Hellfire Club is named after the chess pieces, it is naturally sorted according to the rules of chess. Carl, the 'black knight', among the core members of the Hellfire Club, may indeed only be ranked at the end.

　　"How is this possible?!" Lorna was shocked by this statement.

　　Although she was very unhappy with the guy just now, she had to admit that the ability of the other party was indeed very powerful. Even if she and John were alone, she could handle it with ease.

　　You know, she and John are already the strongest in the mutant underground organization. Although there are some other members who are slightly more powerful, they are far from being comparable to the two of them.

　　Therefore, to put it another way, the guy just now was able to pick the mutant underground organization by himself.

　　However, such a powerful mutant is actually only one of the sixteen core members of the Hellfire Club, and he's still one of the weaker ones?

　　How powerful should the other core members be?

　　If this is true, how scary is this organization with so many powerful mutants?

　　This kind of unimaginable thing made Lorna feel a little unreal.

　　But when she looked at John, she found that John did not refute Raymond, but fell into silence with a heavy face.

　　Seeing John's reaction, Lorna finally believed that what Raymond said might be true.

　　What she didn't know was that John didn't know whether what Raymond said was 100% true, because he didn't know that the Hellfire Club had sixteen core members or something.

　　However, when Raymond said this, he was not surprised at all.

　　Because only such a powerful organization can explain why it has a history of hundreds of years.

　　It is an indisputable fact that the history of mutants is a history of humiliation.

　　Even today's two giants, most of the time, they can only hide.

　　A mutant organization, without strong enough strength, cannot last for hundreds of years, and will be  exterminated many times. 

　　However, John is not without responsibility.

　　He wouldn't dare to fight against it because he knew that the other party was a monster like the Hellfire Club.

　　But at this time, facing the doubts of Raymond's family, he couldn't deceive himself.

　　"I admit that in the face of the Hellfire Club, my strength is really nothing... But I will never give up Clarice anyway, because she is my companion!" John said solemnly.

　　"Me too!" Lorna, who had recovered from the shock, also agreed.

　　Although Sonia didn't say anything, she was still determined!

　　Seeing the serious looks on their faces, Raymond really wanted to say, the Hellfire Club is only here to recruit people, not to kill people. What kind of trouble do you all take death as your own?

　　But at this time, pouring cold water seems a bit too slap in the face, so he didn't be so cruel...

　　Thinking of this, he still looked at Clarice with a stern face and asked, "Are you sure you want to keep messing with them? This is the last time I ask you this question, you can think about it later!"

　　Clarice struggled, but finally nodded and said, "I haven't made any important decisions since I was a child. Please let me be self-willed this time, brother, please!"

　　"I hope you won't regret it." Raymond gave her a deep look.

　　Then he didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back to the car.

　　After getting in the car, he pressed down on the glass to reveal a crack, looked at her and said, "Come back early in the evening, don't play too late, and... don't worry about the Hellfire Club, just have fun."

　　Before he finished speaking, the car had already started, and it was gone in an instant—

　　Only a few people were left with surprised looks on their faces.
