The Hell Merchant in American Comics

Chapter 83: The Unbeatable Xiaoqiang

Before the investigation begins, Alec decides to pay a visit to the Brotherhood of Mutants.

More specifically, visiting Eric.

Alec doesn't think Quicksilver's disappearance has anything to do with Magneto. Although the Brotherhood of Mutants is a very extreme organization, Magneto Eric is not a cold-blooded person.He hates humans, but his attitude towards mutants is relatively gentle. In addition, Quicksilver is his biological son. No matter how disappointed Eric is, he will not take action against his own flesh and blood.

What's more, if Magneto is really secretly targeting Quicksilver, then he has no reason to let Wanda go.

The three successfully found the Brotherhood of Mutants.

The Brotherhood people had no intention of letting the three of them enter the base to visit. They waited at the door for a while before Magneto came out wearing a helmet.Alec glanced at the helmet on Eric's head and said sarcastically: "Eric, I'm not Professor Charles, and I don't know anything about mind control. Can you take off that broken helmet?"

Eric was unmoved.

"Alec Gage, why are you here here if you are not guarding the island city prison?"

"I want someone from you."

"Who"

"Quicksilver."

Eric frowned, and he focused on Wanda: "Pierrot is missing."

Wanda nodded.

Eric was a little angry: "You asked this guy to ask me for Wanda. Do you think I kidnapped Piero?"

Wanda lowered her head and answered after a while: "Who else can deal with him besides you?"

Eric snorted from his nose.

"He's not here with me"

"Wanda, the Brotherhood of Mutants is my career, but don't forget, in addition to being Magneto, I am also your father. I will not give up my family for my career, and I will not secretly kill you just because you want to leave the Brotherhood. . I know you think I am extreme and hostile to humans, but everything I do is to give mutants a better and fairer living environment."

Wanda interrupted Eric: "I know."

Eric stared at Wanda: "My long speech is so disgusting to you."

"No, it's just hard for me to agree with some of your actions."

Jessica walked to Alec and whispered: "It doesn't seem like he is lying."

Alec nodded: "Well, I can see it, but if it wasn't Eric, who else would do something to Quicksilver?"

"Are there any other clues?"

Alec thought for a moment, nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Wanda and Charles are very close. Before looking for me, she must have looked for Charles first. Obviously, Charles failed to find Quicksilver. In other words, the other party has the means to shield brain waves, which may be a breakthrough. The spirit of confrontation There are only three ways to detect force, shielding, disguise, and counterattack. I haven't heard of Charles being injured recently, which means that the other party deceived Charles through shielding or disguise."

"Think of something"

"No." Alec shook his head, "Even Magneto has to use a helmet to shield Charles' mental power. I can't think of anyone else who can defeat Charles."

"No matter what, let's check first."

The quarrel between Wanda and Eric was not as intense as Alec imagined.

Later, the argument ended peacefully.

Eric did not take action, but returned to the base with a group of men with a sullen face, while Wanda returned to Alec.

"If not Eric, who can deal with Quicksilver and Charles?"

"A lot of people."

Wanda stared at Alec: "What do you mean?"

Alec said: "Wanda, you think that Piero is too strong, and you think that our enemy is too weak. You think no one can defeat Piero. What I want to tell you is that it is possible for anyone." Defeat Piero. Piero is indeed very powerful. He can move at supersonic speeds, and even bullets cannot move faster than him. But at the same time, he is also very weak. He needs to eat and sleep. He has a sister who cares about him. Having a father and these are fatal weaknesses that, if planned correctly, even an ordinary man could put in Piero."

Wanda looked ugly.

"The valuable question is not who can deal with Piero, but who can deal with Charles."

Wanda glanced at Jessica, and then turned her gaze to Alec: "Alec, compared to the professional detective you hired, I think you seem to be more like a detective."

"You are wrong to think so."

"Oh why"

"What I can tell you is the right way to think; what she can tell you is the answer."

It was difficult to investigate Piero's whereabouts.

Jessica started investigating Piero the day before he disappeared, but what made her collapse was that Piero's whereabouts could only be described as crazy.In just one day, he went to Columbia University, Manhattan Bridge, Times Square and other places. Of course, what Alec didn’t know was that in order to have lunch, Piero even went to Philadelphia and spent I ran back to New York from Philadelphia in ten minutes.

The distance between these two cities is a full 200 kilometers.

As for Piero, it only took 10 minutes.

The investigation of the three people soon ran into trouble, and Jessica found that her usual investigative methods were completely ineffective on Piero.

But she quickly adjusted her thinking.

She began to focus on the environment, and more specifically, she began to investigate the anomalies near Piero's residence.

Subsequently, the investigation progressed quickly.

Jessica retrieved the videos from cameras near Piero's residence and found a breakthrough in these videos. A few days after Piero left the Brotherhood of Mutants, a group of people pretending to be beggars began to secretly monitor Piero. It is not difficult to guess what happened next to Pierrot. This group of people secretly drugged Pierrot and took away his adoptive father and mother in order to prevent him from resisting.

The video did not capture the attack on Piero, but it did capture the group taking him away.

The gang was using military license plates.

There are also militarized weapons.

It was already clear that it was the Americans who attacked Piero.Alec immediately thought of an old friend, William Stryker, the mutant's nemesis.After experiencing a series of failures, this old guy disappeared for a long time. Alec always thought that he had given up and continued to fight against mutants. Unexpectedly, this guy was like Xiaoqiang, and he popped up again within a few days.
