In just a few days, the entire base returned to normal.
Deep in the military base, Locke was in front of a window, overlooking the scene below.
At this moment, the control of the base had completely fallen into his hands.
Suddenly, a plump arm stretched out from behind and wrapped around Locke's neck. At the same time, a fascinating soft feeling came from behind.
"My boss, when are you going to rescue my body?"
Locke turned around and let the alluring beauty hang on his body.
Then he stretched out his hand and stroked the other person's hair.
It must be said that with the other person's spiritual power, she could almost fake it, and the projection was almost indistinguishable from that of the real person.
"Emma, I won't fool you with the excuse that the situation at the base hasn't been resolved yet."
"But you also have to understand that it's not easy to save you."
Emma Frost had a complicated look on her face.
She understood, but she really didn't want to wait any longer. After all, she might die at any moment.
Then, one finger blocked Emma Frost's red lips.
"Don't think too much nonsense; listen to me first!"
Emma Frost took a deep breath and nodded.
"Emma, you may not know your own strength."
Emma Frost looked confused. How could she not know her own strength?
"According to the level of Mutant, you are in the fourth class of Mutant, second only to the legendary Omega class."
Emma Frost nodded. Omega-level Mutants have not really appeared until now. They can only be regarded as the imaginary class of some high-level Mutants.
Some Mutants with great potential can only be said to have Omega-level potential but can never reach it.
Yes, there is none so far.
"And in this world, there are currently only three Level 4 Mutants on the surface: you, Magneto, and Professor-X, and it will not exceed the number of two hands."
"Taking into account other supernatural guys like magicians and demons, Emma, your strength is enough to rank among the top twenty."
Emma Frost frowned. She felt that this ranking was a bit too low. But she didn't refute it. After all, this was not the most important thing.
"So?"
Locke looked into the distance: "They can easily defeat one of the top twenty strong men in the world. Even with the help of the understanding and restraint of Mutant, the opponent's ability cannot be underestimated."
"It may be easy for us to defeat this base, but this is because the incident happened suddenly. If we give Baron Strucker enough preparation time, we will face dozens, or even hundreds of times the resistance we faced before."
"And this is just power that can be used openly. If I guess correctly, the force that attacks you is most likely a force from the military."
"If we want to defeat a military force that can take you down head-on, we need at least two strong men of your level and the assistance of some other strong men. Otherwise, the chance of success is very small."
Emma Frost was silent. Locke's words were not exaggerated.
However, Magneto will definitely not take action against strong people who are comparable to Emma Frost, and Professor X, but thinking about it, it is definitely not that easy to invite one of them, let alone two.
For a moment, Emma Frost even felt a little desperate.
Looking at the increasingly silent Emma Frost, Locke gently pinched her chin.
"Emma, there's no need to be so disappointed; that's not the only way."
Emma Frost immediately raised her head and looked at Locke with burning eyes.
Locke smiled slightly: "You know, this country under our feet is very strange. Even the president of a country is not the absolute master of this country. It is also very interesting because in this country, as long as you have enough capital, you can be almost omnipotent."
"Military? What about the military? As long as we accumulate enough capital and power, even military giants must bow their heads!"
Emma Frost thought for a moment: "So, what should we do?"
"Do you need to use the network of people in this base?"
"No, no, no..." Locke shook his head.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Locke did not answer directly.
In fact, according to Locke's original idea, the first step was to occupy this branch of Hydra, then continue to invade other Hydra bases, and finally become the king of the underground world.
Locke has no clear likes or dislikes for Hydra or S.H.I.E.L.D.
To Locke, there is not much difference between the two.
But now, he has changed his mind. Hydra can be used, but it has a bad reputation, after all.
If there is no other choice, that's it. If there is a choice, it is also a good choice to use Hydra as a backup.
As for a better option…
"Emma, rebuild Hellfire Club~"
"The original Black King Shaw, I have to say, was also a genius in some aspects."
"But he failed, didn't he?" Emma Frost did not refute clearly, but there was some worry in her words.
"No, no, no, there is nothing wrong with the Hellfire Club. The failure of Black King Shaw lies in two points."
"First, his vision is too small, and he only limits his sights to the circle of Mutants. You must know that the strong people in this world are never just Mutants, magicians, demons, ancient witches, aliens, and even some… genius scientists whose mortal body rivals that of a god."
"Open your horizons, establish some real and grand clubs, gather all kinds of influential people, and then with the assistance of plutocrats, military, high-level politicians, etc., the Hellfire Club will be the uncrowned king of this world!"
"At that time, all you need is a word, and the head of the guy who took away your body will appear where it should appear, such as in front of you~"
Emma Frost's eyes were filled with an unprecedented brightness, but she soon calmed down again.
"My dear, your idea is perfect, but it is difficult to succeed. But those influential people would only cooperate with us when they can benefit. When there is no benefit..."
A cold light flashed from Emma Frost's eyes.
The original Hellfire Club did have some friendly military alliances, but after Black King Shaw died and she was captured, those people quickly disappeared.
Locke smiled: "This is exactly the second point I want to make. There is nothing wrong with Black King Shaw's idea, but he lacks something unique that can seduce and make those influential people crazy. "
Emma Frost frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked,
"What is it?"
"Like...eternal life!"
