Chapter 30: In the end, the ultimate goal is actually me?

Adam Morris's favorability: -9.

Lynn Hall's eyes lit up at the system's prompt.

This was the first time he had encountered someone with a favorability of -9 towards him.

After taking him down, the reward would surely be very satisfying!

"Ms. Jean Grey, it's up to you X-Men now!"

Looking at Adam Morris, whose eyes were filled with hatred for him, Lynn Hall said to Jean Grey, "I want him alive!"

"No problem, Mr. Hall!"

Hearing Lynn's request, Jean Grey was the first to attack Adam Morris.

The battle between Mutants was full of dazzling displays.

Adam Morris tried to teleport away several times but was always restricted by Phoenix's abilities.

Cyclops, on the side, released energy attacks towards Adam Morris, while Storm flew in the air, with lightning continuously striking down from the overcast sky.

"No wonder ordinary people are full of fear towards Mutants. To be honest, Lynn, even though I know the X-Men belong to the faction willing to coexist peacefully with ordinary people,"

"But watching this kind of superhuman battle, I still feel a sense of trepidation!"

Watching a bolt of lightning strike down, Adam Morris used his teleportation ability to dodge the attack, but a century-old tree nearby was directly shattered by the lightning.

Coulson then spoke to Lynn Hall.

"Just a level two Mutant. If Mr. Hall hadn't insisted on capturing him alive, Adam Morris would probably be dead by now!"

Hearing Coulson's words, Barbara, who had been standing by Lynn's side the whole time, said to Coulson, "Moreover, don't think that Mutants are very strong. Compared to ordinary people, we are the ones who are discriminated against!"

Coulson smiled at Barbara's rebuttal, but Lynn Hall withdrew his gaze from the battlefield.

Then he said to Coulson, "You can continue to be alarmed. I'm going to check out those Vampires!"

"Issuing bounties and creating terrorist attacks on my territory—just one Adam Morris isn't enough!"

With that, Lynn Hall led Shawn and the others towards the manor.

Passing through the broken wall into the study, the dark room was now filled with Sun light.

A huge bat was still exposed, unable to hide, hanging in a dark corner of the wall above, avoiding the intense sunlight all around!

"This is the legendary Vampire?"

Looking at the huge bat trembling in the corner, Shawn, holding the submachine gun in his hand, showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"What are you thinking? Do you think all Vampires are like in the movies, with beautiful figures and pretty faces?"

Raising her hand and tapping Shawn on the head, Alice turned to Lynn and asked, "Boss, how should we deal with this guy?"

"Open-air barbecue!"

With that, Lynn Hall took out a pistol from his waist and fired at the bat without hesitation.

The bullet instantly disintegrated in the air, transforming into a giant net that firmly bound the bat!

The bat, caught by the giant net, fell to the ground and immediately began to smoke under the Sun's rays.

Just as Lynn was about to drag it out into the Sun, the bat actually opened its mouth and made a human sound.

"Wait, please wait a moment, Mr. Lynn Hall, I have something to say!"

Listening to the giant, smoking bat speak, Lynn Hall walked forward with a smile: "I don't think I have anything to do with you Vampires—"

Before Lynn Hall could finish speaking, there was a hurried knock on the study door.

"Mr. Lynn Hall, there's a call you need to take personally!"

Hearing the voice from outside the study, Lynn Hall inexplicably felt something was off.

These European Vampires not only knew him, but they also thought that if he answered the call, he would let them go?

What gave them such confidence that they would have this belief?

Unless...

Looking at the large bat continuously emitting White smoke and screaming in pain within the giant net, Lynn Hall tore off a black curtain and covered it.

After replacing the bullets in his gun with specially made pure silver bullets, Lynn Hall then went to the study door and opened it.

As the door opened, a beam of Sun light shone through the doorway into the corridor.

The Vampire standing at the door quickly backed away to avoid the sunlight, then very respectfully handed a mobile phone to Lynn.

Taking the phone and putting it to his ear, his other hand remained on the trigger. If the Vampire made any sudden move,

Then what awaited him was a pure silver bullet!

"Lynn, it's me!"

Hearing James Duke's voice from the phone, Lynn Hall frowned.

His earlier guess was indeed correct; these European Vampires truly had intricate connections with HYDRA!

Without hesitation, he hung up the phone, threw it away, and took out his own phone to redial.

Once the call connected, he heard James Duke say, "Lynn, just come back after you've caught that Mutant. Someone just called me for a favor, and I couldn't refuse this person's request."

"Plus, the Water in Europe is quite deep; our Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn't need to get involved!"

"Understood!"

Hearing Director Duke say that, Lynn Hall replied and then directly hung up the phone.

"We are very sorry, Mr. Hall. We also didn't expect Adam Morris to shoot you at that concert."

"So these days Adam kept asking us to send him to a safer place, but we always refused. Of course, besides that, our Nathaniel Family is also willing to offer you compensation. Please do not refuse!"

With that, the Vampire offered a Black card.

Lynn Hall looked at the Black card offered by the Vampire but did not accept it.

"Please rest assured, this is just some compensation for 'our own people,' and I believe Director Duke would also be very happy to see it!"

Hearing the Vampire say that, Lynn Hall frowned.

The phrases "our own people" and "Director Duke" clearly indicated to Lynn that this matter was not simply revenge from a Vampire family against a hunter family!

"And Director Duke would also be happy to see it?"

Does that mean that Director Duke knew about the terrorist attack at the New York concert beforehand and tacitly approved it?

No wonder James Duke, as the Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, showed no anger after learning about the terrorist attack.

And he even told him to investigate the matter at all costs.

And the newly appointed Mayor of New York, he was able to hold a grand and complete memorial ceremony the day after the attack, as if it had been arranged in advance!

Heh...

After going around in circles, these people's ultimate goal was still him, even though he had already joined the Brotherhood.

Perhaps, this was their method of "guidance," wanting to use such means to make him a true HYDRA!

This Black card in front of him was one of their means of attracting him!
