A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Lu Ke also never betrays his own people.

How to use Jia Ying as a trump card to force Daniel Whitehead to gamble with him on a life-or-death situation was something he had mentioned beforehand, and Jia Ying had agreed to.

but!

As Jia Ying listened to Lu Ke's words, her gaze lingered on the devilish claws that were wrapped around Viper Madam's waist.

With a slight movement of her right hand, Madam Viper forcefully pried Luke's clutches off her waist, walked up to Jia Ying, and extended her gloved right hand: "Ms. Jia Ying, Sylph."

Jia Ying shook hands with Madam Viper: "And then, you saw me, you recognized me, and then what?"

Lady Viper laughed and said, "That's not how it's confirmed."

talking.

Madam Viper released her right hand and looked at Jia Ying: "You don't seem to be a mutant."

Jia Ying frowned and nodded.

Lady Viper smiled and took out a portable X-gene detector from her sachet.

After activation.

The detector, which was displaying green light, instantly turned red.

Madam Viper casually handed the detector in her hand to Jia Ying: "Please take this."

Standing to the side, Lu Ke laughed and said, "Jia Ying isn't a mutant, so this thing won't work on her."

Viper turned her head to look, her flowing, fluffy golden curls dancing in the breeze, and smiled alluringly: "I know, but this is just a test. Could this Jia Ying in front of me be a mutant in disguise?"

Lu Ke smiled, looked at Jia Ying who was casting a glance at him, and nodded.

Jia Ying understood and took the X-gene detector handed to her by Viper.

The moment I got it.

Ding!

The red X-gene detector instantly turned back to green.

Jia Ying subconsciously looked up at Madam Viper.

"This is……"

"You are not a mutant."

"..."

If the green light wasn't it, then the red light just now was.

Jia Ying was slightly taken aback. Watching the image of Viper turning red the moment it reconnected with the X-gene detector, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you a mutant?"

The viper smiled but said nothing.

This portable X-gene detector actually has a very limited function and is even quite flawed.

That is, if you don't use your X ability anymore, this thing won't work at all.

He can only detect mutants who are using mutant abilities.

For example, Lady Viper herself.

Her mutant ability is toxin immunity, but this ability is passive and she can't control it at all.

This is one of the reasons she joined Hydra.

at the same time……

This is why Luke was able to replicate Viper's variant of venom immunity immediately after shaking hands.

After confirming that Jia Ying was not a mutant in disguise, Madam Viper took out a bun-like object wrapped in tin foil from her bag and handed it to Jia Ying: "Since you're not a mutant, then you must be an Inhuman. Open this."

Jia Ying took it, opened the foil in her hand, and was shocked to see something that looked like crystal wrapped inside.

"Terrigan Crystal!"

"What the heck?"

Hearing Jia Ying's exclamation, Lu Ke, who was standing behind her, raised an eyebrow and looked at the crystal-like object wrapped in tin foil in Jia Ying's hand: "This thing is Terrigen Crystal."

Inhumans are different from mutants.

Because the Inhumans were created by the Kree to develop weapons of war, they require a button to activate when they awaken.

And this button is the Terrigen Crystal.

Inhumans can use Terrigen Crystals to awaken their hidden latent genes, granting them superpowers.

Of course.

If you are not an alien, it is best not to touch it.

because……

This thing only recognizes those who are different from humans!

Lady Viper said, "Arrest him."

Jia Ying glanced at Lady Viper, then grabbed the small piece of Terrigen Crystal from the foil.

after awhile.

Lady Viper looked at Jia Ying, who hadn't yet turned to dust, and nodded: "That's fine. Wrap her up again, thank you."

Jia Ying hesitated for a moment, then wrapped Terrigen in tin foil again and handed it to Mrs. Viper.

After taking the crystal, Madam Viper put the foil-wrapped Terrigen Crystal back into her bag, then turned to Luke, her tone completely formulaic: "Director Dane, the authenticity of the tokens has been verified. I'll be going now."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow: "Wait a minute, aren't you staying?"

Isn't it said that after the chips are verified, you need to stay here and watch the chips until the life-or-death game between him and Whitehead is decided?

Luke didn't necessarily need Hydra agents to be watching over things here.

but……

If it were the Viper Lady in front of us, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Lady Viper looked at Luke: "Director Dane, your chips have been verified. Mr. Whitehead's chips haven't been verified yet. Once I've verified them, your chips will be put together, and we'll see who wins."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so? That's a real shame."

"What's there to regret?"

"I thought I would be able to see Ms. Sylph quite often these days."

"...Director Dane."

"Please speak, Ms. Sylph."

"Flirting with the commissioner is prohibited."

Lady Viper spoke with a serious expression, then changed her tone, her originally cold face revealing a charming nature as she looked at Luke: "However, if Director Dan is still alive after the bet ends, I wouldn't mind spending a romantic evening with him, if he can afford the payment."

remuneration?

Want money?

Then I don't want it.

Luke snapped out of his reverie and looked at Lady Viper with great regret: "That's a real shame. I may not be able to spend the night with Ms. Sylph."

joke.

In his line of work, he believes in mutually agreeable transactions.

Talking about money?

This is the most despicable thing to do.

He would never stoop to doing that.

Lady Viper chuckled, then looked around the room, which had no doors, and asked, "How am I supposed to get out?"

Luke stepped forward with his right foot and once again put his arm around Lady Viper: "I'll be the one escorting Ms. Sylph away now."

The words fell.

After the white light flashed...

The two have returned to the office.

"Interesting abilities."

"Thank you."

“Whitehoe has a mutant under his command who also has this ability.”

"I know."

Luke smiled, flashed out from behind the liquor cabinet, handed the prepared bourbon to Madam Viper, and said with a smile, "Red Devil, a mutant who used to work for Black King Shaw."

Madam Viper took the glass and clinked it with Luke's: "Red Devil isn't just Black King Shaw's subordinate; he was also Magneto's subordinate. After Magneto disappeared and retired, Red Devil was taken in by Whitehorse."

Luke raised an eyebrow and looked at Lady Viper.

Why do you need to tell me?

"Let's put it this way."

Lady Viper smiled charmingly, handed the wine glass she had just taken a sip from back to Luke, and then kissed Luke on the cheek: "We are of the same kind."

Lu Ke: "..."

Chapter 268 Someone Reported Luke as a Mutant (Second Update!)

Yes.

People of the same clan.

Lu Ke looked down at the portable X-gene detector in his hand, which was glowing red, then looked up at Lady Viper in front of him.

Forget it.
