Brandenburger Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a six-hour flight, Vincent Hall arrived well-rested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sleek black Maybach from the Commonwealth Bank was waiting. A personal butler, Hunter, opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to Berlin, sir,\" Hunter said with a professional bow. \"Mr. Smith has arranged everything. The bank is at your disposal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent nodded. \"Thank you, Hunter. Drop me at the Hotel de Rome. I won't need anything else for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the car glided through the streets, Vincent's eyes glowed faintly white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydro-Scan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world turned into a schematic of water vapor. He saw the city not in buildings, but in blood and fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Hotel de Rome, he saw them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bio-signatures were distinct—like erratic, glowing fog compared to the clean vascular lines of normal humans. The hotel was crawling with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enjoy your stay, sir,\" Hunter handed him a card and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent entered his suite, locked the door, and changed into a black hoodie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped onto the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice wings materialized on his back, and he launched himself into the Berlin night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crimson Bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent followed Mystique's address to a nondescript dive bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed open the door and sat at the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whiskey,\" he ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bartender, a massive, bearded man, slammed a beer mug down instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drink this and get out, kid. This isn't a place for tourists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent ignored him. He touched the mug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beer instantly chilled to zero degrees. He downed it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a stack of cash and slapped it on the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep them coming. Until I say stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bartender, William, glared at him. \"You don't listen, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a heavy hand clamped onto Vincent's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, rich boy. You lost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Max, a mutant known as \"The Bear.\" A four-level mutant with immense strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent didn't even turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take your hand off me, trash. Or lose it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You looking to die?!\" Max roared, raising a fist the size of a ham.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's shoulder twitched, sending a shockwave of cold energy into Max's arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max froze. Literally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost spread from his hand to his chest, then his entire body. His cells ruptured instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive mutant fell backward, shattering into icy chunks on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bar went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent tapped the counter. \"Refill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Desire Points +132,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear. Shock. Awe. The emotions of the 35 mutants in the bar flooded the System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally,\" Vincent thought. \"3.11 Million Points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could now upgrade his Mind Immunity and Baji-Mizong Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" The bartender, William, growled. \"You killed Max. The Brotherhood will make you pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no quarrel with mutants,\" Vincent said calmly. \"But anyone who threatens me gets a one-way ticket to hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadows, a man with hawk-like eyes—The Eagle—aimed a Desert Eagle at the back of Vincent's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet flew true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as it hit Vincent, his head dispersed into mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elementalization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet passed through the mist and struck William directly in the heart. The bartender collapsed without a sound, the wound frozen shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wanted a drink,\" Vincent sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the assassin. The Eagle's eyes widened in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Desire Points +2,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack. Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent unleashed his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire bar was frozen solid. Tables, chairs, mutants—all encased in thick, blue ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door creaked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blonde woman walked in, shivering. Behind her was an elderly man in a crimson helmet and cape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god,\" the woman whispered. \"What have you done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Self-defense,\" Vincent said, hopping off the stool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magneto. Or should I say, Erik Lehnsherr.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto floated slightly off the ground, keeping his distance. The cold was intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ice Demon,\" Magneto said, his voice calm but wary. \"I apologize for the rude welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto was smart. He knew his magnetic powers were useless against ice and water. And this boy... this boy was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this Mystique?\" Vincent looked at the blonde woman (Jennifer Lawrence's form).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here?\" Mystique asked, angry. \"This wasn't the plan! You were supposed to infiltrate, not massacre!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plans change,\" Vincent shrugged. \"Someone offered me a deal to spy on you. But I hate spying. I prefer asking directly. So, Erik... what's your next move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto narrowed his eyes. \"I am just a retired old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't lie to me,\" Vincent stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creeaaak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roof tore open. A massive oil tanker truck, parked on the street above, came crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run, Mystique!\" Magneto commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tanker smashed into the bar. Oil spilled everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Magneto, a young man with a lighter stepped forward. Pyro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon of fire erupted, igniting the oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion swallowed the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clean this up,\" Magneto ordered, floating away into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On it, boss,\" Pyro chewed his gum, watching the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the fire... stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames turned blue, then solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frozen fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent walked out of the inferno, unharmed. His elemental form had reformed from the vapor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pity. Magneto is fast,\" Vincent dusted off his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pyro's jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're coming with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pyro was encased in a block of ice before he could scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission Complete: Establish Prestige.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Blue Blind Box.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent heard sirens. He didn't stay. He had made his point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He melted into the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hotel de Rome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent returned to his suite. A quick spin of water cleaned his clothes and body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wealth: $10.1 Billion]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Desire Points: 3.11 Million]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rewards: 2 Blue Boxes, 1 Red Box]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't pursue Magneto further. He needed the old man to fight the military later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope Mystique doesn't get hit with the Cure,\" Vincent mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crimson Bar Ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique returned to the scene. The bar was a sculpture of ice and twisted metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shivered. She had underestimated the Ice Demon. He wasn't just strong; he was a force of nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raven,\" Agent Jason's voice came over her earpiece. \"Target confirmed at Hotel de Rome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Jason. Pull your team out,\" Mystique said. \"I'll handle him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got into a car, heading for the hotel.
