"Takeshi Kitano, you said before. Get Rodrick's head for me within twelve hours. Now, you can do it. Go and kill Rodrick tonight."
Kitano was stunned for a moment, but did not hesitate. He turned around and disappeared into the night. Ada was a little confused about this.
"Rodrick must be guarded by more than one powerful mutant. Kitano Takeshi needs to lead a team. He may be in danger alone."
"No need, let's make a bet. I'll bet that Kitano Takeshi can complete the task easily."
"what have you found?"
"Take a look for yourself. We should have noticed it a long time ago." Shen Yi handed the document to Ada with a headache.
Ada took the document and quickly discovered the problem.
"Is that Essex?" Ada thought for a moment and understood the meaning of this name.
"I never believe in such coincidences, so it must be him."
"Then what we encountered before... God, if this is really the case, we will be in big trouble. Our current strength may be insufficient."
"There is indeed some trouble. We need to be better prepared. This will be a war-level contest."
It's still the old apartment, still the same old figure. Only this time, the man got up from the sofa. He moved his body. I feel that my body is far less strong than before. But he didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he put on the slightly more shameful tights, then turned around and took off the powerful swords.
"Old man, did you miss me?"
And on the other side of the United States. Caliban is showing Wolverine around.
"We have traveled across the entire United States, who are you looking for again?" The impatient Logan was already getting impatient.
"I said I'm looking for some old friends from the past, don't be impatient. Logan, think about the current situation. This is not an era where you can save the world alone. You are not the same person you once were. We lost x Troopers, and all the allies. But luckily I remember some potential allies. No need to thank me, we're already here."
As far as the eye can see, this is a huge manor. There were a large number of armed guards patrolling the door. In the distance, there are some people who look like extremist organizations, wandering around the periphery. They held some anti-mutant signs and occasionally shouted slogans. But no one dared to approach the manor. And around, there were some police officers chasing away prowlers.
"where is this place?"
"A place for an old friend. He's originally from Brazil. But he immigrated to the United States."
"If he is the mutant you are looking for, how dare he run to the United States now? This is the country with the harshest treatment of mutants in the world, right?"
"Haha, Brazil is actually similar. And there is a place in Brazil that makes people speechless. The government's control is too weak. After the anti-mutant movement broke out, his manor was attacked nine times in a week, and the government's There was nothing he could do. No matter how much money he gave to the government, it would be useless, because the frequent riots in various places had exhausted the government's power. They could not spare the power to protect him.
Robert had to organize mercenaries to protect his estate. But soon he couldn't stand the war years anymore. So he came to the United States. "
"Is there any difference between the United States and those places? Residents here dare to hunt down mutants on the streets with guns."
"No, the United States still has some advantages that Brazil does not have. For example, the government's control is still sufficient. At least it still has absolute repression against the mobs."
"But the government isn't going to bother protecting a mutant. You know which way the political winds are blowing."
"Logan, is your body rusty and your brain rusty too? Look around here, don't you understand what his superpower is?"
"What? Does this mean he has super powers?"
"...Obviously, Robert's greatest superpower is money. Especially when his family monopolizes more than 70% of Brazil's oil transactions. The pocket money he has is enough to kill all the wandering extremists. . He donates more than $50 million to the state government of California every year. There are also additional subsidies for the police system.
Look around, for your own mortgage, your children’s tuition, and your wife’s cosmetics. Police officers from all nearby neighborhoods are willing to work here because the tips here earn more than their wages.
In this day and age, having money doesn’t necessarily mean you can do whatever you want. But if you have money and are willing to abide by the rules, you can always get many privileges. For example, Robert has gathered and rescued a large number of mutants, but no extremist organization has ever dared to target him. Because his legal team can always sue the other party to bankruptcy. "
"Roberto da Costa?" Logan seemed to remember something.
"You know him? Impossible? He has only been in the United States for a few years, and you have been with me this year. It is impossible to have met him."
"No, we know each other and are very familiar with each other. Because we once fought side by side, but he probably doesn't remember it now."
"What?"
"Let's go see this old friend."
Wolverine stepped out of the car and showed his steel claws, signaling to the guard at the door. When the guard saw his identity as a mutant, he didn't say much. He just used the intercom to report internally with an expressionless face.
In fact, the first time Wolverine got off the car. A dozen cameras have already sent his information to the manor. After Robert saw his appearance, he suddenly became excited.
"Invite them in, they are my honored guests."
Logan pushed the professor and walked into the manor with Caliban. There was an electric car waiting for them.
"The distance is a bit far, let's go there by car."
These words made Logan's face twitch. All he saw in front of him was a corridor that was several hundred meters long. At the end of the corridor is the residential area of the manor. At this moment, he realized more deeply what the superpower of having money is.
Robert led a group of people to wait for him at the door early.
"Welcome, my idol, the great X-Men, Wolverine."
"It's nice to see you again, Robert."
"Well, I'm happy that the idol said hello to me, but do we know each other?"
"Of course we know each other, Claris (flicker), Bishop, James (Zhengtu) hello, my friends." Wolverine swept across the welcoming crowd and accurately called out the names of several of them.
"So, the X-Men have paid attention to us and tried to recruit us, right?" Robert thought he understood what was going on.
"No, I know you because we once fought side by side. But you don't remember."
