Chapter 8 - Testing Each Other

Emma Frost's expression changed instantly; she sat upright, and a bright light appeared in her eyes.

In an instant, it seemed as if countless fine needles were constantly impacting Locke's brain.

Locke's expression didn't change at all, and he still looked at Emma Frost calmly.

What is the limit of a human? It's either a person's strength or the limit of a human being itself. 

The real human limit is ultimate physical fitness, ultimate fighting skills, and firm will that has been tempered thousands of times. 

This is all the real human limit that allows them to counterattack against the existence of these extraordinary beings.

"Your psychic power is weaker than I thought."

"Ten seconds!"

"If you want to break my spirit, it will take at least ten seconds."

"I'm not short of time!" Emma Frost said coldly.

With a bang, a gun was slapped on the table. 

Emma Frost was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

"How can you kill me now that I have no physical body? And within ten seconds?"

Locke chuckled: "Your psychic power is indeed very strong, but it's not enough to be number one. At least Professor X is above you."

"So what?" White Queen was noncommittal.

"Excluding the almost impossible possibility that your psychic power surged beyond Professor X in a short period of time, there is only one possibility. You used external forces."

"Then the question is, what is it? And where does it exist?"

Locke raised the gun in his hand, and the cold muzzle hung straight above Emma Frost's head, right between her eyebrows.

Emma Frost paused for a moment. Her expression instantly turned ugly, and then she took a deep breath. The next moment, a charming smile soon appeared on her face.

"I'm just kidding you..."

"bump!"

Before she could finish speaking, a gunshot instantly interrupted her words. 

A bullet instantly grazed the side of Emma Frost's head and flew through it, piercing a vase behind her.

Emma Frost's eyes widened: "You!"

Locke shrugged and said with a half-smile: 

"Sorry, I was joking with you too~"

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and Emma Frost's eyes flickered again, one second, two seconds…

Suddenly, White Queen smiled beautifully.

"Okay, let's end testing each other here. You win."

"Now tell me, who are you?"

"You are not a Mutant, but you are very confident, and you smell of iron and blood. Are you from the military?"

"Why does it have to be the military?"

White Queen smiled bitterly: "The military and white house are the only two entities besides Mutants that have the ability to save me."

"Oh, it seems that the guy who caught you has some background."

Emma Frost was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, I don't know who that is."

"This mental projection of mine was made with a treasure I occasionally obtained in order to save myself during an accident. My last memory is that I was besieged and captured alive by a group of shoulders with special equipment. Those guys seemed to know Mutant very well, and there are many ways to restrain Mutants."

Locke nodded. 

There are many such guys. 

There has never been a shortage of human supremacists in this country. There have always been many people who discriminate against Mutants as aliens and then conduct various cruel experiments, such as Hydra and William Stryker.

After a slight pause, Emma Frost continued: "I have looked for Professor X, and he has a good temper. He once helped me find my body but failed. I also want to ask Magneto for help, but..."

The following words were not directly stated, but Locke understood the situation.

Black King Shaw personally created Magneto and killed Magneto's mother. 

In Magneto's eyes, the relationship between the White Queen and the Black King does not need to be explained. 

Not to mention, Magneto once had the opportunity to kill the Black King for revenge, but the White Queen stopped him and didn't say anything, and he was beaten up by the White Queen. 

This feud became even bigger.

So anyone can save White Queen, but Magneto won't.

"If you don't have a lot of power in the military or some strong capital, then forget it." After all, there are really not many people who can have strong connections in the military or have strong capital.

But when she thinks about it, the other party's power is definitely not small.

Emma Frost's eyes were a little dazed. 

In fact, it wasn't like there weren't some people arriving during this period. 

Emma Frost wasn't guarding the Hellfire Club because she had any special feelings. She just wanted to use it to attract some guys with real abilities.

But unfortunately, those guys before were either liars or cowards who flinched as soon as they heard the situation. 

Now, she was close to despair.

"Military~" Locke smiled: "It's not impossible."

Hydra is very powerful; even if it is just a branch, it has a dense network of relationships.

"It's just, what can you give me~"

Emma Frost's eyes were filled with an unprecedented luster. She stood up, walked in front of Locke, and sat on his lap.

I have to say that Emma Frost's psychic power is really powerful. Even though it is just a projection, it actually gives Locke a real sense of touch.

Slowly approaching Locke's ears, she exhaled a breath of air that was extremely hot.

"All of Hellfire Club's assets and Black King Shaw's inheritance are in my hands. Believe me, that's an asset that even a big capitalist would be tempted by."

"Besides, not only Hellfire Club, I will also be yours."

Locke was silent for a moment, then he gently lifted Emma Frost's chin and said with a smile.

"That's a very tempting answer, happy cooperation."

Locke had no interest in Hellfire Club's inheritance, but he was very, very interested in White Queen.

White Queen's psychic ability is only slightly worse than Professor X's!

That's a top-notch surface level!

As for the issue of saving her, well, Locke didn't say when he would save her. 

When it came time to save her, Locke would naturally have the absolute confidence to suppress her.

Emma Frost may not be an excellent leader, but she is definitely a perfect deputy!
