American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"Well..." Rice suddenly calmed down, looking at Qi Shan with a peculiar gaze.

"So that's how it is. There's someone who sympathizes with mutant monsters, or perhaps you yourself are a mutant!"

Qi Shan shook his head: "There's no point in dragging the topic there! Dr. Rice, the X-Weapon project, from its very inception, was designed to supply the military with weapons of war.

The ability to build the research institute and hide it within the chaotic borders of Mexico must have the support of an American consortium behind it.

I wonder if it's the military or... Mister Sinister?"

The moment the words "Mister Sinister" left his mouth, Rice's expression instantly changed.

Qi Shan chuckled and nodded: "I see."

Rice exclaimed in horror: "What... what did you do to me?"

His expression was extremely exaggerated, constantly shifting between doubt, surprise, fear, and a whole series of psychological states, almost writing his thoughts on his face.

Qi Shan raised the cigar in his hand and said: "Nothing special, just a trivial bit of black magic. This kind of magic doesn't cause any real harm; it just amplifies the emotions you're feeling by 100 times."

"How is that possible? It can't be magic. Hmm, it's mutants, that's right, it's mutants!"

Rice was almost crying, with that fear, dread, and disgust from the bottom of his heart constantly taking turns.

"It seems that the villains in this world are doing quite well. Charles has Alzheimer's, and the pressures of life are almost crushing Wolverine.

Meanwhile, the mad scientist born in the Victorian era is doing better and better in this society, even extending his hand into the American government."

Qi Shan blew a smoke ring and asked: "I had people check the core data of your control center. Although a large portion of it is damaged, based on the part that has been restored, this research can be traced back more than a decade.

Since it has been going on for so long, why did you suddenly execute the experimental subject disposal plan a few days ago?"

Rice's emotions stabilized slightly, and he rubbed his face, saying: "The security department suddenly received news that the Sentinel Services had discovered us..."

"So you had to escape!" Qi Shan nodded.

That explains everything.

In the entire plot of Logan, two armed forces appear.

Initially, the security department of the research institute mostly consisted of mercenaries. They didn't have any intention of being enemies with Wolverine; their main goal was to recapture Laura, the experimental subject X-23.

Find those escaped little mutants and destroy all evidence before the Sentinel Services arrive.

Unfortunately, Wolverine was too powerful, and with Charles and Caliban's fierce resistance, all the mercenaries were killed.

Later, the strike team that ambushed Wolverine in the small valley should have been dispatched by the Sentinel Services.

Qi Shan understood the cause and effect of the whole thing and no longer felt like talking with Dr. Rice.

The bodyguard stepped forward, grabbed him, opened the office door, and threw him out.

Amidst Dr. Rice's tearful fear, Donald caught him and quickly left.

Qi Shan sat on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and slowly finished the wine in his glass.

"It seems I'll have to go find Logan myself."

At the same time, Logan was driving a luxury car slowly into a motel.

The ground was still a bit damp, probably because of the light rain last night, making the place seem a bit deserted.

After getting out of the car, Logan looked around and went straight into room 108, the address given on the order.

"Mr. Logan!"

The woman in the room immediately stood up, her eyes filled with joy.

"Damn it, it's you again!"

The moment Logan saw the woman, he wanted to turn around and leave.

This woman was the crazy woman who had been pestering him at the cemetery before.

She was also the target that Donald wanted to capture.

"No time, call a taxi!" Logan coldly refused.

Although the woman's appearance had allowed him to obtain the Lionheart belt, restore his youthful strength, and reactivate his X-gene abilities.

That didn't stop Logan from hating her even more.

Years of low-key living, not actively causing trouble, had almost become his creed.

He absolutely wouldn't allow anything conspicuous in his life of hiding.

He hated trouble and even more so the people who caused it!

"Someone is chasing us, we have to leave here, go north, to Canada..."

Seeing that Logan's pace didn't falter, the woman said anxiously: "I'll give you $50,000!"

Logan stopped, slowly turned around, and silently looked at the woman for a while, saying: "If you're talking about Alkali, there's no need to worry anymore.

Just yesterday, that team was completely wiped out in the cemetery, and a supervisor named Donald was captured alive!

They are preoccupied and won't have the energy to capture you!"

With that, Logan turned to leave.

The woman was stunned for a moment, a look of excitement on her face, and she grabbed Wolverine's sleeve.

"What? Are you telling the truth?"

"Let go!"

Logan roughly tore the woman's hand away, and just as he was about to push her away, the little girl who had been silently playing with a bouncy ball suddenly screamed and rushed up frantically.

Two sharp adamantium claws popped out of her two tender little hands, ruthlessly stabbing into Logan's heart.

"This..."

Logan was shocked and instinctively swung his hand, knocking the little girl away.

The little girl bounced twice on the ground, and like a wolf, she got back on all fours and charged again.

Her hair was disheveled, looking like a mad little wolf.

At this moment, the woman finally reacted.

"No, Laura! He's your father!"

Hearing this, Logan, who was about to speak, was struck by lightning.

He blurted out: "Damn it, that's impossible!"

The woman calmed the little girl and turned to look at Logan.

"Now that things have come to this, you deserve to know the whole story, but after you've heard it, you must promise to safely deliver her to her destination!" The woman's eyes were firm.

Logan hesitated for a moment, "The people chasing you are already..."

"I don't care about that, I just want your promise! Think about it, $50,000!"

Logan was silent.

If it were a few days ago, $50,000 would indeed have tempted him.

But after receiving a suitcase of money from Qi Shan yesterday, it seemed somewhat insignificant.

However, he still nodded and followed the woman into the room.

"My name is Gabriela Lopez, and I'm a nurse."

After the two sat down, the woman hugged the little girl and was silent for a long while before slowly beginning to tell her story.

Logan sat opposite her, listening silently.

How many years ago was the last time he heard such news?

He couldn't remember anymore...
