Chapter 376: Surprise at the Auction

Marvel Studios

At this time, a military vehicle stopped at the door. Then Stryker got out of the vehicle, walked straight to Li Qingyue and said, "I want to issue a commission."

"you are?"

"General Stryker, you should have heard of me."

"It's you. Are you going to post something about mutants?"

"Yes, I want you to help me capture a mutant. I can accept any price."

"If it's this commission, I can only say sorry because you are late." Li Qingyue said softly while still lying on the stone.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, you're late. The mutants arrived much faster than you. Now our firm will not be able to accept any commissions related to mutants in the next year. I'm very sorry." Li Qingyue said helplessly.

"Can I hire your staff?"

"Of course, but if you ask them to deal with mutants, I'm sorry, they will refuse to act. Our firm is very rigorous and will never be taken advantage of. I'm really sorry."

After hearing this, Stryker's expression did not change at all, as if he had known the result would be like this. However, when he really sat back in the car, he still couldn't help showing an angry expression. It was obvious that after being told that by Master Hunter, he had been trying hard not to show his true expression in front of others.

"Drive, go back!"

The soldier in the driver's seat said nothing and drove away in silence.

Just when Li Qingyue was about to close his eyes and continue to sleep, with a "bang", the red devil appeared in front of Li Qingyue.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Qingyue looked at the Red Devil and asked.

"Well, we would like to invite you to our auction." The Red Devil said respectfully.

"You can see that I can't walk at all. How about letting Richard go on our behalf, Richard!"

Richard came out after a while, yawning and saying, "What's wrong, teacher?"

"Go and represent us at the mutant auction. If there's anything you're interested in, you can buy it."

"Then can I take Leah with me?" Richard asked.

Li Qingyue looked at the Red Devil, who quickly said, "Of course there is no problem with this. It doesn't matter how many people go."

"No, just the two of us will do."

"Okay then, where's the other person? I'll take you there directly."

Richard nodded, then called Liya. The two of them put their hands on the Red Devil. With a "bang", the three of them disappeared in front of Li Qingyue and appeared in Hope Town at the same time.

"Is this Hope Town?" Liya asked curiously, looking at the surrounding environment.

Richard was a little surprised, and Liya seemed to see Richard's confusion, and quickly explained: "Hope Town is also known as the Mutant Town. Ninety percent of the residents here are mutants. It was built by the mutants themselves. Have you not been online recently?"

"Well, there really isn't much time."

While the two were chatting, suddenly two hands appeared from behind Richard and hugged him. Richard subconsciously grabbed the two hands and was about to throw the man behind him over his shoulder when he smelled a familiar fragrance. He said unhappily, "Mom, do you know that this is very dangerous!"

"Haha, sorry Richard, I'm just too excited. How did you two appear here?" Vanessa asked with a smile, holding Richard's head.

"Professor X's people invited us here. What about you?"

"It's Wilson. He said he wanted to take a look here and recruit some people. As you know, his job is indeed quite dangerous. It would be safer if he had some mutants as bodyguards." Vanessa explained.

At this moment, the bell rang, and everyone knew that the auction had begun. Without further ado, they walked directly towards the auditorium and soon saw Jin Bing's huge body.

"Dad."

"Here you go, sit down."

Jin did not ask Richard when he came, nor did he ask about the purpose of his coming here. After all, Richard is not young anymore, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a tall and strong guy about 1.8 meters tall.

As soon as the three of them sat down, several beams of light appeared on the stage and gathered on the left. As the Iceman appeared in a slim suit, the barrage on the live broadcast platform was filled with words such as "So handsome!" "I want to give birth to a baby for him!"

"Welcome everyone to our Hope Town auction. I think everyone has already understood the items we are auctioning this time. They are all technological technologies. If you are interested, you can bid at will. The auction price of each technological technology starts at one dollar. Without further ado, let's start the auction!"

Then a USB flash drive was brought up, and the Iceman began to explain the special features of this technology in the most common words.

On the other side, there was another man sitting here. Jin Bing frowned slightly because he could not feel any breath from the man. In other words, he was like a dead man.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Leave here, a big war is about to break out. This is a war between us mutants. Please don't interfere." The man turned his head and said expressionlessly.

"What if we have to intervene?"

"Then don't blame us for being ruthless." The man said, then got up and left.

"He has no heartbeat, no pulse, and no sound of blood flowing. He is not alive!" Richard said.

"Don't scare me." Leah said in horror, hugging Richard's arm.

"No, I'm serious. Mom, you and Liya leave first. I'll stay and see what's going on."

"No, we have to leave together!" Liya said stubbornly.

Richard wanted to say something, but Jin Bing shook his head at him. Richard sighed helplessly.

While the two were talking, a protective shield had covered the entire Hope Town. From the outside, Hope Town seemed to have completely disappeared. Not only that, even satellites could not detect the existence of Hope Town.

It was as if Hope Town had been wiped out, but even so, no one inside noticed anything was wrong and the auction was still going on.

Soon the first auction ended, and the mutants received their first batch of funds, a full 5 billion US dollars. This made Professor X and others completely relieved, at least their financial pressure was relieved a lot.

Just when they were planning to hold a small celebration, Magneto suddenly stood up and said, "No!"

Everyone looked at Magneto, waiting for his next words.
