Their faces were hilarious. "Now you guys finally know my identity."
I didn't have to worry about my identity reveal as they had already signed a secrecy pact. If they reveal my identity to anyone else, they will be hunted down and killed.
I will have to do the same with Silver.
"Yes, but as you know, you are not allowed to reveal it to others." The meekly nodded.
Whatever happens in the Order, stays in the Order.
"Now, Sebastian and Lady Selene. As you two know, our Hellfire Club is known for hosting lavish parties for the rich and influential people." They nodded. "Now the Order is responsible for maintaining a balance within the underworld. We hire mercenaries, get them to work for us under quite a few set of rules which prevents chaos and needles crimes."
Sebastian butted in. "So, you are running a crime syndicate." This made me chuckle.
"Quite an interesting take on this situation, my friend." Well, technically he is not wrong. "But no. It is more of a way to prevent the needless murders, robberies and other heinous crimes from occurring."
"So, you mean that you created a syndicate in order to stop most crimes from surfacing." That's one of the reasons. I don't want some petty thief to become the cause of my fall. So organizing crimes is the best way to make sure that nothing like that happens.
"Yes. And it will also help us to gain a good footing within both the black and white sides of society. Which means that we will stand on the grey line." Selene understood instantly.
"We will act like the good guys but through the Order, we will manage the crimes." She is smart.
"Exactly. And cases like rape, child abuse, and many more will be prevented." Those two are the only crimes that I hate and want to stay away from.
"That is a very interesting plan. But what is the main reason for creating this group?" Sebastian asked with a raised eyebrow. "Stopping crime cannot be your only reason."
"It is to create a 'home' for everyone that was excluded from society. For their powers, appearance, or crimes that were framed on them. Mutants and humans alike, as long as they are willing to coexist with each other and set aside their racial differences, I will provide them with a home. And in return, they will work for the betterment of this place."
And this will help me gain some minions. That's the main reason… But I can't say that.
"So… to put it bluntly, you are building a kingdom." Selene, oh Selene.
"In a way… yes, I am." She smiled when I said that.
"So both of you… Do you agree to join the Order?" I asked.
Both Selene and Sebastian looked at each other and then at me.
"I accept." "Alright, I will join."
This made a massive smile appear on my face.
"Perfect!" I turned around to look at Domino. "Neena, prepare a feast. We will be having a party!"
Her reaction was exactly what I expected. 'Ecstatic.'
Finally, I can move onto the stage where I can increase my strength.

[A week Later]
"I knew that it wouldn't be this easy."
One week. I spent a literal week trying to activate my spatial powers but it was for naught.
I tried using the basic spatial moves that are shown in the movies. I even tried every theory related to space in order to make just a tiny spatial rift.
Forget about rifts, I even tried teleporting a feather from one place to another, the distance was barely two centimeters. But guess what? I failed!
I think that I know how Sinister feels. He has taken at least 4 liters of blood from me. I heal fast, so blood loss is not a problem for me.
He tried everything to create a clone who had the same powers or even the same intellect… but none of them worked.
Every single one of them had at least a few issues and none of them inherited my powers.
He tried everything from creating a new body that was similar to me and then injecting the DNA, to killing his own assistant who had similar features to me and injecting it…
Poor Yamcha… died for no reason at all. But that name somehow sounds familiar… I just can't figure out where I heard it.
"*Sigh* I would deal with my powers later. I need to focus on this for now." I looked at the test tube filled with blood mixed with a multitude of other liquids.
"Just a few more seconds… and please be blue. Because I don't know what I will do if it is pink or purple."
Why was I so concerned about the color? Because it was going to determine the fate of my best friend, Joel.
But my worries were soon proved to be unnecessary as the blood turned blue.
"I knew it! I knew that you were not going to betray me, my friend."
The color was blue which meant that Joel was a mutant. And the shade was extremely dark so he must be at least a mid-Alpha level when his powers wake up. Currently, they are dormant as his X-genes haven't awakened yet.
And I have reasons to believe that he is a telepath. There is no other explanation for him to be able to create mental barriers. His powers are dormant but he somehow managed to create barriers to prevent mind reading. It must be a subconscious action.
"Now, I need to find the location of the Savage lands". I got a tiny reading but it vanished instantly. But although it disappeared so soon, there is a very high chance that the anti-metal is located there.
I won't waste any time. Time is something that I still lack. I might be immortal but there are going to be events that will kill even the immortals.
*FUUSH*
I turn around to find my ninja boys bowing down.
"Did you succeed?" They nodded.
"Yes, we did." The captain of the three said and handed me a scroll.
Let's see.
I opened the scroll and went through it.
.

"Fuck!" I threw the scroll in rage and regret. "I am sorry, Joel… I couldn't be a good friend." I finally found out how his parents died.
The scroll that laid on the ground read. "Nicolas Argent and Chloe Argent murdered by HYDRA."
