Chapter 87 084: Suspicion of Eugene, tracking
Due to their mistake at Silverman Manor, when Rojo and the others returned to Hell's Kitchen, the atmosphere in the car seemed a little heavy. Marcos and John looked very unhappy, obviously feeling disappointed for not getting the commission.

The idea of ​​the two of them is very simple, but to earn commissions for the base and prepare for the coming cold weather, this sounds a bit like vagabonds. They need to prepare a warm shelter before the arrival of winter. Compared with mutants, The homeless are obviously not much better. Marcus and John have long been accustomed to it, and they are also deeply aware of the damage winter can do to the underground base. After all, people froze to death in shelters in the past.

Eugene's face didn't look good either, but under the constantly flashing street lights, a large part of his face was obscured by shadows, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly. However, the cars speeding along the highway showed his mood at this time.

Rojo didn't want to speak, but he had to ask: "Eugene, what exactly is that antique? Even SHIELD is interested in them."

"It's an antique. That's all he told me. It's a treasure. It's a stone tablet that Silverman bought from Egypt at a huge price."

Eugene glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I didn't know SHIELD would be there tonight, and he didn't tell me that the broken stone would be so popular."

"Something that can attract SHIELD's attention will definitely not be simple."

Rojo said, but did not continue. He originally wanted to ask why he still did not choose to evacuate after SHIELD appeared.

But recalling Eugene's obsession with the antique and his persistence in his plan, Rojo still didn't ask. He didn't trust Eugene, but telepathy couldn't lie. Eugene never told a lie from beginning to end.

The reason why Rojo chose not to trust Eugene was that when S.H.I.E.L.D. snatched away the antique goods, he could clearly feel the strong fluctuations in Eugene's emotions, and at the same time he was angry, as if he would sacrifice everything. Get your hands on antiques.

Even knowing that Marcus was injured, the emotion did not weaken much, but when he realized that he could not get the goods back, he reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Thinking about this, Rojo couldn't help but take another look at Eugene. This seemingly united sanctuary base that yearned for a new future for mutants didn't seem to be as good as he imagined.

Moreover, the Eugene in front of him does not seem to be that simple. He seems to be a person who cannot be seen through.

Eugene noticed the boy's gaze and said directly, "You don't trust me?"

These words made Marcus and John beside him stunned for a moment, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on Rojo.

"No, Logan and I, as well as the professor, Lorna, Laura, and Caliban, are willing to stay. Obviously they are willing to trust you."

Rojo noticed the gazes of the three people, frowned, and immediately shook his head and explained, "I was just wondering if SHIELD would discover our existence. After all, an organization like them would definitely not let an unknown person The Mutant Sanctuary is in New York, and mutants are a potential threat to them, not to mention that we attacked a SHIELD task force tonight."

"It was out of necessity, not because we wanted to."

Eugene calmed down for a while and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. The base is hidden in Hell's Kitchen and will not be found so easily. Not even SHIELD can do it. Besides, I have planned to give it to everyone a long time ago. It’s a comfortable environment, but there’s been some funding problems recently.”

"So, the commission we earned from this operation is actually for changing our residence?"

John couldn't help but interject, "Honestly, I've had enough of that dank, dark basement."

"Yes, I promised to give everyone a beautiful living environment. Although I cannot reach heaven in one step, I can achieve it step by step."

Eugene nodded, with a longing smile on his lips.

Rojo looked at him and had no immediate reaction, because telepathy once again sensed from Eugene a strong emotion similar to the one before, which was the desire and persistence for something.

This once again made him wonder, was it the emotion of longing and longing for the future of mutants?Or something else?Rojo was unsure, unaware of the threat and danger these emotions carried.

"Rojo?"

Eugene noticed the boy's hesitation and thought he was still worried. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, believe me, we can move out of that dark and damp basement before Christmas. This mission was just a mistake. We all make mistakes, and I’ve done so much for everyone that it’s impossible to cover them all.”

"Ah."

Rojo didn't say much, just nodded, but it was this move that made him realize that Eugene seemed to value trust very seriously. After getting his approval, Eugene's mood fluctuated significantly.

The car soon drove into Hell's Kitchen. Due to the narrow streets and the age of the warehouse, new houses had been built around it. There was no major road for the car to drive in, so the few people had to get out of the car and walk.

Marcus touched the wound and licked his dry lips. He was still thinking about having a drink, "Would you like to have a drink? At this time, the pub that is hosting the guests is not closed yet."

"Whatever, let's go together."

John said, looking at Rojo and Eugene.

Rojo nodded, "No problem."

"You guys, go ahead. I happen to have to collect an email. Finish your drink and go back early. Remember not to be too late. It's best to go back before I go back."

Eugene wanted to go to the next block to collect mail. He waved his hand and told the three of them to turn around and walk towards another street.

"Going to the mail?"

Rojo looked at Eugene's back, thought for a moment, then immediately picked up John and Marcos and ran to the tavern.

John and Marcos were forced to keep up, complaining: "Boy, why are you running so fast?"

"I have to go to the bathroom. Order a drink for me. I'll be right out."

Rojo was very fast, leading the two of them to the tavern, leaving them behind, and strode into the bathroom, scaring the surrounding guests to step aside.

"Sorry, sorry, my friend urinates frequently."

Marcus quickly apologized with an awkward smile, "They are all men, you know"

"God, he looks so young."

However, Marcos and John did not know that after the bathroom door was locked, Rojo climbed out through the window and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.
