Chapter 150 – Put On A Show (2/2)

Black Panther nodded. “There will be a match tomorrow night. After that, how about we advance our original plans?”

“That sounds good. Go ahead and arrange for the bounty hunters to step onto the stage. From now on, our matches will allow mutants to participate as well. As long as they aren’t being controlled by Dr. Tony, we will accept them all.”

“Understood.”

That night. Lei Yu saw a familiar face arriving at the nightclub – Mr. Hawes. Inside a black car was also an old woman, who was precisely Mr. Hawes’s mother. Lei Yu gently exhaled before smiling and greeting them: “Welcome Mr. Hawes and old madam!”

“Lei Yu, you’ve really surprised me. You are actually capable of owning such a nightclub in New York City? It’s really too shocking!” Mr. Hawes’s face was filled with praise as he looked at the huge building in front of him.

“You flatter me too much Mr. Hawes, please come in!”

The receptionist in the lobby was smart enough to organize a special private room. As Lei Yu and them went inside, the room didn’t have any loud music playing or any sexy ladies standing by to serve them. There was only Lei Yu, Mr. Hawes, and the old woman.

Ever since he found out Mr. Hawes and the old woman belonged to the Vatican, Lei Yu had felt awkward dealing with them. At first, the family treated him quite well, so he didn’t think this was all just a trap that he fell into. It looked like only after experiencing the labyrinth did all the pieces of the puzzles reveal itself.

“What’s the reason that Mr. Hawes and the old madam would come to visit me? It isn’t just for us to reminisce right?” Lei Yu faintly asked as he poured some of their finest red wine their club had.

Those two never thought Lei Yu would treat them so cold and distant, completely catching them off guard. It looks like things had progressed to a point where just a few words would not be able to explain their story clearly.

“Lei Yu, the reason why we’re here is to talk about the things that happened when you went to Greece with my mother.” Hawes politely smiled as he received the glass of wine.

Lei Yu silently said to himself: “I knew you guys were here for that.”

Lei Yu understood in his heart that even if Mr. Hawes didn’t care about what transpired in the labyrinth, what about the old woman? Could she not want to know what he had experienced inside there? Or what he attained? This would be illogical; therefore it’s time that things came to light.

Lei Yu casual took a sip of his red wine. “I want to know your true identities first.”

Hawes and the old woman looked at each other. They could truly feel that Lei Yu’s attitude towards them was completely different from before. Could it be that he found out something about them? The old woman hurriedly said: “Child, you need to understand that we do not have any malice towards you. Otherwise, why would I trust you to the point of bringing you along to Greece and revealing one of our deepest secrets?”

“Oh really?” Lei Yu’s eyebrow was slightly raised. “Perhaps the great Bishop was being cautious since he knew nothing about the labyrinth. Or else with his enormous strength, he could easily go inside the labyrinth and discover everything he wanted to know. Instead, why use me as cannon fodder?”

“This…” The old woman was suddenly speechless. Lei Yu had realized what was going on once he found out the true identities of Mr. Hawes and his family. Hawes and the old woman were well aware that Lei Yu’s appearance was merely a chess piece under their control. The Bishop was worried there would be unexpected accidents inside the labyrinth, so they put on a show and led Lei Yu inside it first.
