Chapter 48 - 48

Huang Wen was unaware of the situation between Charles and Magneto on the mutant side.

His mind had been preoccupied with the Hulk, who could burst into the city at any moment.

To detect the Hulk's presence in advance, Huang Wen even wore the tuxedo's watch, ordering 24-hour surveillance of all surrounding streets, lest he be caught off guard.

But what Huang Wen didn't expect was that the Hulk had vanished without a trace, as if the previous news reports were false and the Hulk had never appeared.

"That's not right…" A hint of doubt flashed in Huang Wen's eyes as he muttered to himself, "From the discovery of the Hulk, to his capture, and then to the appearance of the Abomination, it shouldn't have been this long, right? The key is, it's been over ten days, and there's been no movement at all?"

"Forget it, I won't think about this anymore. I'll try again to see if I can break through my inner strength. According to Bai Zhantang's experience and memories, the boundary between extraordinary and legendary should be the difference between acquired and innate…"

"Ding! Monitoring anomaly!" Just as Huang Wen was about to begin his daily routine, his watch suddenly sent him a message.

"Hmm? He appeared?!" Huang Wen's gaze sharpened, and he immediately looked at his watch.

"The monitoring footage has not changed for ten minutes, including light and shadow. It has been detected that someone modified the real-time monitoring footage, but the source cannot be traced!" The watch quickly informed Huang Wen of what had happened.

"The monitoring footage was modified?" A hint of doubt flashed in Huang Wen's eyes.

"Could it be that the Hulk has already started to rampage? Is the military doing this to cover it up? That's impossible. If it really were the Hulk, with such a massive commotion, what good would it do for the military to block the surveillance?"

"The scope of the monitoring modification is suspected to be two blocks near Chinatown!" After analysis, the watch provided new information.

"Coming for Chinatown?" Huang Wen's pupils contracted.

He immediately jumped out of bed, put on his tuxedo, donned his slow-motion glasses, and then looked out the window.

"Sniff! Sniff!" Logan, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly sniffed his nose alertly, then opened his eyes and got up.

"Hmph! A familiar scent, a hateful scent!" Logan seemed to recall something, cursed unhappily, then opened the window and leaped out.

"Hmm? Why did Uncle Wolf run out? Did he also discover something unusual?" Huang Wen watched Logan leap out the window, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"That's right, beastly senses are not to be underestimated! Activate stealth mode."

Huang Wen activated stealth mode and also climbed out the window, following far behind Logan.

Huang Wen believed that with Logan's sensory abilities, he would definitely be able to find the source of the anomaly.

At short distances, beastly senses were far more effective than surveillance and technology.

"Hmm?" Logan, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped, then glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

However, he quickly thought of something, shook his head, and continued forward.

Logan didn't actually run very far; he stopped merely a few hundred meters from the Wing Chun Martial Arts School, gazing at the pitch-black alley ahead, a faint glimmer in his eyes.

"Come out, I've already seen you!" Logan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke faintly, looking at the alley where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

"It's you, old wolf? What are you doing here?" A slightly surprised voice rang out.

A burly man in a black suit with a large skull on his chest emerged, looking at Logan with some surprise.

"Frank? So it's you. No wonder there was such a weak, yet annoying, scent!" Logan shook his head, sizing Frank up and down.

"What? Has your vigilante jurisdiction expanded to Chinatown?"

"But I've lived in Chinatown for so long and never seen a single crime here.

The people here are very friendly, except for the things they sell being a bit expensive…"

"You don't need to concern yourself with my business." Frank narrowed his eyes, threatening Logan.

"What I'm doing now has nothing to do with you. You'd best not provoke me!"

"Hmph!" Logan snorted coldly.

Although he had been cultivating his character at the Wing Chun Martial Arts School recently, he was inherently short-tempered, just like Frank.

It was precisely because both of their tempers were too volatile that Logan found Frank annoying.

"Clang!" With a sharp sound, Logan's sharp adamantium claws extended, and he snarled menacingly at Frank.

"Frank, state your intentions. Chinatown is under my protection now. If you want to cause trouble here, you'll have to go through me first…"

"Bang!" With a faint gunshot, a bullet struck Logan's forehead before he could finish his sentence, interrupting him.

The bullet deformed and fell to the ground, and the wound on Logan's forehead instantly healed.

"What a pain!" Frank frowned.

In fact, Logan's immortality wasn't that difficult to deal with.

For example, if one could find a way to shatter Logan's bones or blow off his legs, it would still take time for him to recover.

But the problem was that Logan possessed a body of steel and iron bones; any attack could only damage Logan's flesh, not his bones.

And Logan could recover from such flesh wounds in an instant.

"Roar!" Logan let out a roar, charging towards Frank with immense fury, his figure a blur.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Frank fired several shots, but still failed to deter Logan's advance.

When he saw Logan getting closer and closer, Frank instantly switched weapons, and a combat knife and a ballistic knife appeared in his hands.

Frank dodged Logan's two adamantium claws in an exaggerated manner, and the combat knife and ballistic knife in his hands simultaneously slashed across Logan's body.

However, doing so only angered Logan and had no other meaning.

Logan's eyes flashed with rage, and he suddenly accelerated his arm, thrusting his adamantium claws towards Frank's abdomen.

"Crack!" With a sound, Frank's combat knife blocked a claw, but it was instantly cut in half.

No matter how good the quality of the combat knife, how could it contend with adamantium alloy?

"Pfft!" However, Frank's expression didn't change at all because of the broken combat knife.

The ballistic knife instantly fired out, piercing Logan's body.

Then Frank threw a grenade from his hand, and his figure instantly retreated.

"Boom!" If the previous gunshots, with a suppressor, hadn't made much noise, then this explosion woke up everyone in Chinatown.

Logan's figure was somewhat disheveled as he was blown away, his clothes tattered, but he was otherwise unharmed, after all, he was a man who had survived a nuclear blast.

"Issue mission: Capture Frank!" The moment Huang Wen saw the bomb, he immediately used "Treading Snow Without a Trace" to rush over, simultaneously issuing the mission.

"Generating mission: Capture the Punisher, Frank. Reward: one extraordinary character lottery draw. Do you accept the mission?"

"Accept!" Huang Wen's eyes lit up.

Then he lightly pointed his finger in Frank's direction, and Frank, who was about to escape, was instantly frozen in place.

Acupuncture from a distance!
