Chapter 58 - [58] News From The Hellfire Club

One month later.

Beep, beep.

Late at night, the door of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was knocked on.

Havok, Alex Summers, who was practicing his energy blast ability outside, paused his release of the plasma shockwaves from his chest.

"Fuck, Brian's party is starting again," Alex muttered with a mix of envy and irritation.

Hearing the doorbell, he walked over to answer it.

Opening the door, Alex was greeted by a group of girls dressed in various styles.

'So fucking hot!'

"What are you looking at kid? Like what you see?" One very attractive girl said.

"No, I.. I was just.."

"Ok, whatever, can you tell us where Mr. Brian is?"

"Ah.. yeah,"

He sighed but gave them directions without hesitation.

"Brian's room is over there," he said, pointing them in the right direction with a flushed face.

"Let's go girls~"

'Danm.. look at those.. damn!'

As the group of girls made their way inside, Alex stood there for a moment, silent, before muttering to himself with admiration, "Brian, you've got a special, very very special kind of talent."

After learning that no mutant with a perspective-based ability had been born yet, Brian had been deeply frustrated by the news.

While the X-Men focused on their rigorous training, Brian, feeling unoccupied, had decided to indulge himself.

He began spending more time with Kayla. However, Kayla was not Mystique.

Unlike Raven, who could handle almost anything Kayla was just a normal girl—one who simply couldn't keep up with Brian's intensity.

That's how it began.

Brian started what could only be described as his "Homelander" career.

Each day, he would visit various areas of New York City.

Armed with Silverfox Kayla's persuasion ability, which he had refined to perfection, Brian could persuade any girl effortlessly.

This power, in Brian's hands, became infinitely magnified.

However, persuading them one by one and bringing them back to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was far too tedious. So, Brian devised a simpler plan: he would instruct these girls to come to Xavier Manor at night instead.

As a result, during the month of the X-Men's intense training sessions, Brian hosted carnival-like parties almost every evening.

The X-Men residing at Xavier Manor had long since grown accustomed to these nightly events.

And for every girl who experienced Brian's persuasive powers, it became a life-altering encounter.

They could never forget him.

To them, Brian became a figure of angelic allure, someone they believed had been sent to them by God himself.

These girls, enthralled by "Angel Brian," would share their experiences with their friends, leading to an endless influx of visitors to Xavier Manor.

By the midpoint of the month, Brian had already achieved the "milestone" of being with 1,000 hot beauties.

He had even gone flying out one day and had beat his meat from the sky in a display of power that he jokingly referred to as the "Crescent Moon Sky Strike," mirroring his self-perceived role as a Homelander-like figure.

Brian had truly embraced his new identity—doing whatever he wanted, whenever he pleased.

With his abilities, there seemed to be no limits. No taboos.

On this particular day, after Brian finished his nightly revelry, Professor X had finally had enough.

He sent a telepathic message directly to Brian.

—"Brian, come to the Cerebro room."—

In his room, Brian snapped his fingers, and his clothes were instantly back in place. Without delay, he made his way toward the Cerebro chamber.

Along the way, Brian encountered several members of the X-Men. Their reactions were unmistakable—expressions of admiration and awe followed him everywhere.

"Brian, you're truly incredible," Magneto remarked openly as they crossed paths.

Over the past month, Magneto had been diligently honing his own abilities. However, his relationship with Professor X had deteriorated further, their previous ideological differences now solidified into a near-total rift.

In contrast, Brian's boldness, his unrestrained use of mutant powers, and his apparent fearlessness had earned Magneto's respect.

Brian's unapologetic embrace of his abilities seemed to align more closely with Magneto's worldview.

"At this rate, all the girls in New York are going to end up part of your harem," Magneto added with a smirk.

Brian chuckled at the comment. "New York is nothing. With Raven's help, I'll have all the women in the world. Too bad I don't want to stop her from combat training and infiltration missions."

"Heh, well inviting many girls has a thing to itself, your every finger sucked by a different girl each at the same time has a funny feeling I can't describe if you know what I mean~"

Hearing this, Magneto rolled his eyes and, with a grin, flipped Brian the middle finger before turning to leave.

Brian shrugged. Brian wasn't exaggerating, but very few people have felt what Brian has after all.

Over the past month, the training results of the X-Men had been remarkable.

Siryn, Sean Cassidy, and Havok, Alex Summers, had both advanced to the level of Category 3 mutants. They had gained much greater control over their abilities.

Sean had mastered the skill of soundwave-powered flight, though he still needed to rely on a glider for stability. Meanwhile, Havok had learned to compress energy into a precise beam of light and release it accurately, no longer needing the assistance of an energy collector.

Beast, Hank McCoy, had shown even more impressive progress.

Over the past month, he had focused on familiarizing himself with the raw power of his transformed body. Under Professor X's guidance, Hank had also begun to develop close combat skills.

With his brilliant mind and his innate beastly instincts, Hank's close combat abilities had reached a level comparable to that of a top Navy SEAL operative.

Additionally, Hank continued his research on mutant ability inhibitors. After a month of meticulous work, he successfully developed a new generation of inhibitors.

By injecting the inhibitor, Hank could temporarily revert to his human form.

Overall, the strength of the X-Men had been significantly enhanced during this time.

"Authorization is being verified... Authorization verification complete."

A scanning beam swept across Brian's eyes as he approached the door of the Cerebro chamber.

With a soft hiss, the door opened.

Brian stepped inside, his gaze falling on Professor X, who was seated at the console.

"Hi Charles, what do you need from me?" Brian asked, watching as Professor X slowly removed the Cerebro helmet.

It was evident that Professor X had just finished using the brainwave amplifier.

Over the past month, Professor X had been using Cerebro almost daily to track the whereabouts of the Hellfire Club.

However, the White Queen also possessed telepathic abilities, which made tracking the Hellfire Club exceedingly difficult.

Instead, Professor X had resorted to investigating high-ranking officials within the Soviet Union, piecing together information bit by bit.

After an entire month of effort, Professor X had finally obtained a lead on the Hellfire Club through Soviet officials.

"I've located the White Queen," Professor X said calmly, glancing at Brian.

"Emma Frost? Where is she?" Brian's eyes lit up. It had been over a month since his last encounter with Emma, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia.

"In the Siberian region of the Soviet Union. It seems the Hellfire Club has found another mutant there," Professor X explained, sharing the intelligence he had uncovered.

Over the past month, the Hellfire Club had been highly active.

The Black King, Sebastian Shaw, continuously provoked tensions between the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States. This escalated the already heated Cold War between them.

America had responded by deploying an aircraft carrier to the Florida Straits, the region closest to Cuba.

In retaliation, the Soviet Union stationed a large fleet of warships in international waters near Cuba.

Cuba had effectively become a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.

Beyond escalating tensions between the superpowers, the Hellfire Club had also been recruiting mutants throughout the month.

The Black King used his connections within the Soviet KGB to secretly locate and identify mutants.

After a month of effort, the Hellfire Club finally discovered the whereabouts of a mutant. Shaw dispatched Emma Frost, to Siberia with the goal of recruiting or subduing this mutant.
