This made Peggy breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Aaron had truly asked, she wasn't sure if she could have kept silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps out of guilt, Peggy proactively pulled Aaron to dance. She was very proactive and enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron was a bit clumsy at first, but he quickly displayed an astonishing learning ability. He not only remembered every rhythm and beat but also skillfully led Peggy through the next moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two quickly became the center of attention in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy's eyes were hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron possessed an endless magic, ethereal and mysterious, with a peculiar and ineffable aura like a deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter where he was, he could instantly capture everyone's gaze, becoming the focal point of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the ballroom, another woman stared intently at them. Her eyes were filled with envy and longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish… I could be her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, miss, perhaps you need a dance partner.\" Bucky walked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scram.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bucky turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to Steve's side, his face full of dejection. \"Want to laugh? Go ahead and laugh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That man is toxic. Ever since he appeared, I've repeatedly hit walls. He is my lifelong enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bucky sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve glanced at Aaron, then at Peggy, and finally at Bucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was full of excitement. \"I have been enlisted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Bucky slapped his head. \"It's over, another one's gone mad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a dance, at some unknown point, Aaron and Peggy quietly exited. Another woman also disappeared at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room next to Raven's, Raven was pressed against the wall, listening intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is there no sound? I clearly saw them come back, but there's no sound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron naturally noticed Raven tracking them, so after returning and opening the adjacent room, he used the Mirror Dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a magician, he created a romantically themed private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Peggy emerged from the bathroom, she gasped in surprise at the sudden change in the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my God, you actually possess mysterious powers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who exactly are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to know the answer? Then we'll talk about it another day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Earth lost a maiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Peggy understood what paradise was and many people suffered from insomnia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard was trying to verify the shallow theories Aaron had casually mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven was lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve was too excited to sleep, and at the same time, he felt a sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bucky was wondering where he had lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timeline, at this moment, had shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this timeline did not branch. It merely took twists and turns in certain places, then mysteriously reconnected with 2010, as if this timeline had always been this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy gritted her teeth and continued her work. She was responsible for a new training plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Aaron took Raven to Manhattan Street, arriving at a bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, it's daytime now, we're not open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you're not qualified to enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard at the door looked at Aaron with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron glanced at him, and the latter, terrified, instantly collapsed onto the ground as if having a seizure, shouting for his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven looked at him curiously, but she was smart and didn't ask for the reason. Instead, she followed Aaron into the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two proceeded without hindrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was daytime, this place was not devoid of customers. There were many well-dressed gentlemen in suits and wealthy ladies chatting with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servers walking by were either beautiful women or pretty boys. They wore gentle smiles on their faces, providing service to the guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven looked at the characters shining brightly not far away and slowly read them aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hellfire Club?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she spoke, the crowd suddenly surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the Black Queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Black Queen has come out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman wearing a long black dress, with the languid posture of a high-ranking noblewoman, slowly walked out, supported by several maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was beautiful, stunningly so. Yet, she was also very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she was the Black Queen, the most senior and highest-ranking controller who had come from the original Britain Hellfire Club headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze swept across the crowd, observing the expressions of admiration, greed, or covetousness, her eyes holding disdain and contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These insignificant scumbags!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt disdain in her heart until she saw Aaron and Raven in the crowd. She subconsciously ignored the small figure of Raven, fixing her gaze firmly on Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This handsome man is unfamiliar. Is he new?\" Selene's lips parted slightly, speaking with a faint, alluring voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just listening to her made people fantasize and let their imaginations run wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd appropriately displayed lecherous expressions. Even though they tried their best to suppress this feeling, wanting to show their gentlemanly side, they clearly couldn't resist Selene's charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Selene's surprise, Aaron was completely unaffected by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled lightly and said, \"To be precise, I haven't joined the club yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's another expert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selene felt a moment of dizziness, she had actually been charmed by Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women around them were also attracted by Aaron's magnetic voice, and smelling the faint, unusual fragrance in the air, they became even more frenzied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selene recovered and developed a strong interest in Aaron. She hadn't expected someone in this world to be able to resist her charm, or even influence her in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, this is truly interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, since I happen to be free today, why don't I personally test you?\" She chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nameless passerby stepped forward, looking at Aaron with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black Queen, this might not comply with procedures. His identity...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selene glanced over, and her languid eyes instantly became sharp,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, I am the rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nameless passerby immediately fell silent and retreated deep into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.139Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a3f3d2d12de1a9f92ceb48bd1d8d6372cbb4c9828a85efbad916423e72f25ba","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-240","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-238",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
