Tokyo, streets.
Katie was carrying several bags in her hands, filled with shopping spoils.
She didn't expect Samuel to take her away from the School, and even less did she expect to go abroad directly and arrive in the country where people have a good life.
This was her first time going abroad, and her first time leaving the School without permission. The romance of a foreign land combined with the rebellion of skipping school quickly made her relationship with Samuel familiar and intimate.
"We've been out for a long time, when are we going back?" The little girl was still sensible and didn't forget to go home as soon as she came out.
Samuel glanced at the bar not far ahead and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go to a bar?"
"A bar? I, I'm not old enough to go to a bar yet," Katie said hesitantly.
"Just tell me if you want to go?"
Katie let out a sound of surprise, then nodded curiously, "Yes."
"Then that's it."
Samuel raised the corner of his mouth and took her into the bar.
There weren't many customers in the bar at this time, just a few people drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was quite quiet.
In the corner booth, a woman wearing a black long dress, with long, shiny black hair, and an extremely cold and glamorous appearance and temperament, revealed a look of surprise, then got up and walked out towards Samuel and Katie.
Katie, who was visiting a bar for the first time, was a little nervous. Seeing someone walking towards them, she couldn't help but lean closer to Samuel out of guilt.
"Why are You here? Do You have any instructions?" The woman stopped in front of Samuel and asked respectfully and curiously.
"I have something to tell You to do."
"Follow me."
The woman turned around and led the way.
Katie realized that this woman should be from the bar and knew Samuel. He brought her here not entirely to broaden her horizons.
Back in the corner booth, the woman glanced at Katie, and Samuel immediately said, "Her name is Katie, a student from X-Academy. I brought her out for a walk and to tell You a few things."
Samuel didn't explicitly say that Katie was also his person, but the woman already understood that their relationship was extraordinary, so she could speak freely without any reservations.
"Two things."
"First, there is a Mutant named Ophelia. She may have a pseudonym called Dr. Green, with the codename Viper or Madame Hydra. Her abilities are immunity to Toxins, releasing Toxins, and she can also shed her skin to heal injuries."
"Find her and have her join us."
The woman remembered the information and nodded.
Samuel didn't continue with the second matter, but instead asked, "Do You know about the Yashida?"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "The Yashida is a very influential family in the local area. It has been passed down for generations and controls the lifelines of many local industries. They have connections everywhere and are involved in both legitimate and illegitimate businesses."
"Shiro Yoshida, the current head of the Yashida, is a member of the club. Many of the club's businesses in Southeast Asia are completed through him."
"He has a son named Yashida Shingen. Yashida Shingen has a daughter named Yashida Mariko, who is currently thirteen years old."
Samuel said with a smile, "It seems Shiro Yoshida is very important to the club, no wonder they sent You here."
The woman smiled slightly but didn't reply.
After meeting for so long, she still hadn't introduced herself. Her name is Selene Gallio, one of the Three Mutant Queens, the Black Queen!
"Since Yashida Shingen is a member of the club, the second matter is much easier. Regarding the Hiroshima atomic bomb incident, a Mutant with Self-healing ability saved him. This Mutant is called Wolverine and has some connection with me."
"Shiro Yoshida is old, and he will get older and older. He doesn't want to die, so he will definitely think of the person who saved his life. Using Wolverine as bait, have him build this set of equipment."
Samuel waved his hand, and the blueprint of the Cerebro appeared in front of the Black Queen.
The Black Queen flipped through it, a little puzzled, "With all due respect, since there is a complete blueprint, building this set of equipment is not difficult. It's not worth sacrificing a Mutant, is it?"
Samuel shook his head, "Who said I was going to sacrifice Wolverine? I just said to use him as bait, which can also be considered settling the old score. The Cerebro is just one part, and it's also the bait. What I want is Yashida Mariko, and the Yashida's money!"
"Wolverine has been modified, his entire body is made of Adamantium skeleton. Even if Shiro Yoshida catches him, it's useless. He still needs two things."
"The Venom produced by Viper can be used to suppress Wolverine's Self-healing ability."
"And... Adamantium armor and weapons."
"I still have a batch of Adamantium ore. Sell it to him at a high price, let him use it to build armor and weapons, and after it's finished, we'll retrieve it..."
Sell the Adamantium at a high price to him, let him spend money and effort to build it into finished products, and then retrieve it. This is equivalent to refining the Adamantium ore and building it into finished products without spending a penny, and then making a huge profit!
The Black Queen nodded and also understood why they needed to find Viper, because she was also part of the plan.
"There are two more people..."
Samuel pondered for a moment and said, "One is named Yukio, she is a Mutant with the ability to foresee the Death of others. She should have been adopted by Shiro Yoshida by now and become Yashida Mariko's playmate and bodyguard."
Understood, this one named Yukio is also needed!
"There is also one named Shiro Yoshida, also a Mutant, with the codename Sunfire, possessing the ability of solar flares. In terms of relationship, he should be Yashida Mariko's cousin."
"However, I'm not sure if this information is accurate, perhaps it's not from this World. You can look for him, and if You can't find him, so be it."
Sunfire is a relatively famous and powerful Mutant in the country where people have a good life. I just don't know if he exists in this World. Anyway, it's like beating around the bush, something to do on the side.
"I understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible," the Black Queen responded.
Samuel said with a smile, "After You handle these two things, I will enhance Your abilities."
The Black Queen nodded heavily, showing excitement.
"Alright, get something to drink. Oh, give her some juice, You can go back to Your business."
"Yes."
The Black Queen got up and withdrew. Not long after, she brought juice and cocktails, and then left again.
Samuel tasted the cocktail, the taste and texture were not bad, "Drink, what are You standing there for? We should go back after drinking."
"Oh, oh." Katie, who had been ignored for a long time, picked up the juice and drank it in big gulps in confusion.
Although there were many parts of the conversation between Samuel and the woman that she didn't understand, she could vaguely guess the general idea!
How to put it, it sounded like... they weren't very good people.
