Soon, all forces received news of the President being assassinated by a mutant. William Stryker's lips curled into a smirk, as if a conspiracy had succeeded. Nick Fury, upon learning that his people were responsible for White House security, also had a hint of a smile on his face.
As for the President's actual safety, whether he was injured or not, William Stryker and Nick Fury were surprisingly unconcerned; they were merely satisfied that their previous move had been correct.
However, the most shocked by this news were Charles and others at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. After a moment of thought, Charles slowly closed his eyes.
Inside the plastic prison, Magneto heard Charles's voice: "The President was assassinated. Was it your people who did it?"
"Do you think I would make such a foolish move?" Magneto sneered, shaking his head. "It seems someone wants to frame us mutants. Is it for the Mutant Registration Act? Or is it to completely wipe us out?"
"So that's it. I understand." Charles's voice gradually faded away. Magneto calmly watched the unsuspecting prison guards outside, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth.
To truly believe that a mere plastic prison could trap him, Magneto, was truly laughable.
"Raven, it's time for Erik to come out." At Mystique Raven's hiding place, a voice appeared in Mystique's mind, making her eyes light up.
"Whoosh!" In the hot pot restaurant, Logan suddenly stood up from his chair, his adamantium claws extended, staring intently at the news of the mutant assassination of the President on the TV, a surge of anger welling up in his heart.
"Uncle Wolf!" Huang Wen forcibly pressed Logan back down. The faces of Uncle Zhong and the others remained unchanged. Except for Huang Liang, who was still unfamiliar with Logan, he looked at Logan's claws with a hint of surprise, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
"A conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy!" Logan took a deep breath, retracted his claws, frowned, and sat down, constantly adjusting his breathing. Logan knew that a greater conflict between mutants and humans was likely about to erupt.
"It seems the plot for X-Men 2 has begun!" A thought flashed through Huang Wen's mind. "Perhaps I can participate a little. If I can complete a legendary-level draw, I'll have a foundation to stand on. However, the danger of interacting with such characters also seems quite high..."
"Even someone like Uncle Wolf, an almost immortal being, can only get a transcendent-level draw. I wonder if this is calculated based on potential or demonstrated combat power..."
"Anyway, beings like Charles, Magneto, and Jean Grey will definitely get draws above the transcendent level, but these three are not to be trifled with!"
"No! I need to go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and ask Charles what's going on!" Logan quickly made up his mind, stood up, and looked at Huang Wen, "Boss, I'm leaving for a while. Perhaps, I won't be coming back..."
"If anything happens, you can contact me, if you think I can help." Huang Wen thought for a moment, not intending to follow Logan to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters at the moment.
"You'd best not get involved!" Logan shook his head and turned to leave the hot pot restaurant.
"Master, is Uncle Wolf a mutant?" After Logan left, Huang Liang glanced at Zhong Qiang and Uncle Zhong, then looked at Huang Wen, "Uncle Zhong and Brother Qiang seem to know already!"
"Doesn't it hurt when his claws come out?" Zhong Qiang scratched his head, asking the doubt in his heart, "Also, how did his flesh heal so quickly after being torn open?"
"It definitely hurts, but Uncle Wolf is used to it." Huang Wen shook his head. "Uncle Wolf's ability is incredibly powerful regenerative healing. In this world, there's almost nothing that can kill him."
"Immortal?" Zhong Qiang and Huang Liang's eyes widened instantly,
Even Uncle Zhong was full of surprise.
"Uh, he's immortal, so he doesn't age either, right?" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Uncle Zhong's face. "I've always called him Little Brother Logan before, he wouldn't be older than me, would he?"
"Ahem, it's the twenty-first century now, and Uncle Wolf was born in the nineteenth century." Huang Wen couldn't help but laugh. "That means Uncle Wolf is almost two hundred years old..."
"Cough cough!" For a moment, the table was filled with coughing. Everyone was choked by Logan's true age.
"That Iceman, although there was a flaw in his setting, making him an Omega-level mutant, his displayed strength isn't that strong. Perhaps I can give it a try..." Huang Wen looked at the flustered crowd, a thought flashing through his mind.
On the other side, Logan quickly hailed a taxi to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. With his earned wages, he no longer had to rely on walking or taking the bus to travel, as he had before.
"Stop! Who are you?" Just as Logan entered Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a voice called out to him.
Logan turned his head and looked at the scholarly-looking Bruce Banner on the bench. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Are you the new teacher? Charles, that bald guy, shouldn't be taking on students this old, right?"
"Professor Charles is a respected elder, and you are so disrespectful to him!" Bruce Banner frowned, looking at Logan with some displeasure.
During his time at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Bruce Banner had already been able to communicate simply with the Hulk. He attributed all these achievements to Charles's help, so Logan's attitude towards Charles made Bruce Banner very unhappy!
"Oh! Elder?" Logan suddenly laughed, "Don't let that guy's old appearance fool you. In terms of age, I'm more than old enough to be his grandfather..."
"You've made Banner and Hulk angry!" Before Logan could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger from his animal senses, followed by a roar. A giant green Hulk suddenly lunged at Logan.
With a "bang!", Logan was sent flying by a punch from the Hulk. But after landing the punch, the Hulk stopped, a little confused, and looked at his fist.
Blood was actually flowing from the Hulk's fist, but the wound quickly healed. At this moment, another angry roar sounded, and Logan charged back, his adamantium claws extended, pouncing on the Hulk.
"Pfft!" The Hulk momentarily froze, and Logan's adamantium claws easily pierced the Hulk's tough skin, causing the Hulk immense pain.
"You hurt Hulk!" The Hulk suddenly lifted Logan by his feet and threw him heavily away.
"Damn it! He's even stronger than that Colossus guy!" Logan quickly crawled out of a dirt pit, brushed off the dirt from his body, and muttered, "I can't fight him head-on with strength. I need to find a way to defeat him with agility!"
