Early in the morning, Saber sat in the living room of the villa. He held the recent records of The Devil Gang in his hand. In the past, he wouldn't look at these things, but now he had to. While he was unconscious, Catherine had customized some plans that led to many changes in his organization.
For example, in the face of an unknown opponent, The Devil Gang's forces had recently shrunk, giving up many areas in Gotham. Another example was the situation of the Mutants' riot. The reconstruction of New York's Hell's Kitchen had almost come to a standstill. In the end, there were many Mutants in the organization.
These changes were not good or bad, but it was certain that they would inevitably have a non-negligible impact on the future direction of things, especially the last one. In this sensitive period of confrontation between Mutants and humans, The Devil Gang's actions would undoubtedly put themselves at the center of the storm.
But Saber could understand why Catherine did this. Under the circumstances at that time, when friends and foes were not clear, it was acceptable to use this kind of test to quickly expand the forces. In particular, Catherine also used some special methods to determine the loyalty of these people, which was enough to show that the little girl actually seriously considered this matter.
"Ahem."
Saber coughed softly, and the Red Ninja Erica appeared behind him with an unhappy face. Saber put down the book in his hand and whispered to her.
"I remember that Shauna is nearby now. Call her over, I have something to ask her."
"Hey."
Erica reached out and patted Saber's shoulder, leaned down, and said in Saber's ear.
"Young man, I'm not your messenger or anything."
"Swoosh."
Her whole body was in Saber's arms. She let out a scream and disappeared into the shadows a moment later. Before she left, she gave Saber a fierce middle finger, but Saber didn't care. This kind of fighting life was actually quite pleasant, wasn't it?
After Saber finished his breakfast, Shauna Belzer, who was wearing a white dress, arrived late. It could be seen that the girl had carefully tidied up her appearance. She no longer looked as strange as before.
"Good morning, Boss Saber!"
She nodded elegantly at Saber and sat on the sofa next to him like a lady. Professor Saber had sorted out the child's chaotic mind a few years ago, and she had been recuperating at the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths for half a year. This child's mind was no different from a normal girl's. If there was anything strange about her, it would be the puppet that she always carried around with her.
Yes, we all remember this guy, Fiddy.
Saber glanced at the marionette. The latter stood up timidly and bowed respectfully to Saber. Saber snorted and ignored the marionette that reeked of blood. Instead, he turned his attention to Shauna.
"How was it at the London Academy of Drama?"
Saber asked casually, "Do you really plan to develop your career in the acting industry?"
"Yes!"
Shauna nodded vigorously. "This has been my dream since I was young. I plan to stay in the West End theater for a few years to hone my acting skills. Oh right, Boss, why did you call me here?"
Seiber didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "What about you?
"About the mutated humans that recently joined the gang, were you and Johnny the ones who tested them?"
"Yes!"
Shauna whispered. "I was in charge of Gotham, and Mr. Johnny was in charge of New York. His understanding of souls is much stronger than mine, so most of our new members came from New York. I heard that it's almost like a battlefield now."
"Yes …"
Saber nodded, rubbed his chin, and asked in a low voice.
"Those with ulterior motives?"
"They were all killed by Fiddy."
Shauna waved her hand nonchalantly. "Fiddy is really a bad guy. He cruelly killed them all. But three days ago, mutated humans from other organizations sneaked in. After they realized that we have a way to identify them, they stopped coming to die. I heard that in New York, Mr. Johnny also eliminated a lot of people with ulterior motives."
She stroked her beautiful burgundy nails and said softly,
"We can guarantee the purity of every mutated human that joins the organization. Of course, whether they can adapt to this environment, we don't know."
"That's enough."
Saber smiled. "Since we are already involved, running away is the stupidest thing to do. Then I'll leave this to you. Go do what you need. Let me know if you need anything."
Shauna gave Saber a very appropriate smile. She reached out and picked up the obedient puppet Fiddy and walked out of the room. Erica's figure appeared behind Saber again. She crossed her arms and looked at the closed door with disdain.
"What a stunner. What? Is the playboy Lord Saber really not tempted? "
"Come on, it's not a good thing to have too many women."
Saber ignored Erica's mockery. He picked up the book in his hand again and flipped through it.
He asked casually, "Have you adapted to life in Gotham?"
Erica stretched lazily and stretched her long legs as she leaned against the sofa at the side. She said very lazily, "You're right.
"This place is great, really. Especially the children who wander around in costume at night …"
She licked her lips, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"It's very interesting, very fun. But what I'm more curious about is that bat that's always wandering around. He seems to be fighting against some kind of deep darkness. He also has a faint goodwill towards the Devil Gang. So I'm very curious, is he your friend?"
"First advice from Gotham!"
Saber shook his finger. "Don't ask about Batman, and don't try to get involved. It's very dangerous."
Erica wanted to say something else, but Catherine rushed in through the wall, waving her phone. As she ran, she shouted, "I'm sorry.
"Saber, a request for help from New York!"
"Hmm?"
Saber took the phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Pixie, saying that she and a group of mutants were in trouble. When they tried to rescue Professor Charles, they were intercepted from many sides. The current situation was very bad and they urgently needed reinforcements.
But unlike Catherine, Saber frowned when he saw the message.
"Pixie? How did she get involved in this matter? Who gave her the confidence to save Charles? And are you sure you want to save her? "
He put down the phone and looked at Catherine.
"If I remember correctly, Pixie just abandoned us, didn't she?"
He spread his hands. "You see, in a sense, she's a traitor. You probably haven't forgotten how The Devil Gang treats traitors, right? It's already very lucky that she's still alive. You still want me to save her? Are you asking me to violate the rules I personally set? "
"But … she's different. She's a friend."
There was a hint of hesitation on Catherine's face. She hesitated for a moment. Looking at Saber's cold face, she finally gritted her teeth. "Then I'll go myself. I'll save her in my own name and check on Professor Charles' situation. It won't involve The Devil Gang. That should be fine, right?"
"But with your current strength, you'll die if you get involved in this kind of thing!"
Saber's face darkened. He said in a deep voice, "Are you going to gamble your life so easily for a person who betrayed you? Is this what Dad and I taught you? Don't you know how much responsibility you bear and how many people's hopes are on your shoulders? "
"Charles? You still think the professor is our friend, don't you? "
Saber's voice grew louder. "His students were involved in Dorothy's death. Have you forgotten how that poor girl died? His students are almost all dead! They died in our hands! You don't understand the situation at all! We're opponents now! "
"The Devil Gang and Xavier Academy are no longer friends! Are you going to help your opponent? "
These questions were more serious than the previous one. Catherine couldn't help but clench her fists. She tried to refute.
"But …"
"No buts!"
Seiber waved his hand, and dark red energy mixed with crimson energy flew out from his hand, binding Catherine's arms tightly to her body. He then pouted at Erica and said, "Don't worry.
"Go, lock this little idiot up and let her calm down!"
"You should have your own bottom line!"
He looked at the indignant Catherine and said in a low voice,
"You should let others see the price of betraying you and staying away from you, instead of acting like a real philanthropist and casually giving out your pity to make yourself look weak and easy to bully. If you don't learn enough from the first decision, sooner or later, there will be a second one. So what if she betrays you for the second time?"
"Do you still want to forgive her? What about the third time? "
Saber took a deep breath. He looked at the phone in his hand and deleted the message as if it had never appeared.
"This is her lesson. If she can come back alive, she will be able to wash away her mistakes. If she can't, then she will have to pay for her mistakes."
"You saved her with your own hands!"
Catherine was dragged out of the room by Erica. She screamed, "She was the first to leave Xavier Academy with you. She has proven her loyalty! Saber, you can't just give up on her! "
"Saber! Saber! Don't give up on her! "
Catherine's voice gradually faded away with the sound of feet dragging on the floor. The leader of The Devil Gang was expressionless. He crossed his legs and lit a cigarette. Erica quickly returned to his side. Then she heard Saber say in a low voice,
"At their age, they always value friendship very much, but they don't know that before they give their friendship, they have to see the friendship of others first. This decision might cause her a lot of pain, but we all know that … pain is not like death, irreversible."
"Ding ding ding ding."
As soon as Saber finished speaking, a new text message appeared on Catherine's phone. He picked it up and looked at it. His eyes immediately narrowed.
It was from Pixie, but this time it was no longer a request for help, but a warning.
"Catherine, don't come! There's danger here! Magneto is here! "
"Yeah …"
Saber threw it aside. He hesitated for a moment before saying to Erica,
"Looks like I have to make a trip to New York."
The female ninja in red asked curiously,
"To save that child? Why did you suddenly change your mind? "
"No."
Saber shook his head. "My opponent is there! I really want to talk to him about these conspiracies … Really, I really want to. I can't wait! I'll meet him, an old friend, and stab him in the back! I'll let him know how dangerous it is to be involved in a conspiracy against me. "
"As for Pixie …"
The leader of The Devil Gang rubbed his eyes. "It's just a matter of convenience, but she should be punished. I hope this can teach these hot-headed young people a lesson so that they can think more when they do things in the future."
The ninja in red snorted disdainfully.
"In the end, you still have to save her. Look at your righteous face. I almost believed that you were a messenger of justice. Or are you planning to be a superhero or something?"
"I actually prefer supervillains to superheroes, but that's not a big deal. You can say whatever you like. I won't change anyway."
Saber flicked his finger, and the simple sandalwood fan jumped into his hand. He waved his left hand gently.
"Gather our warriors, and we'll … march to New York!"
