Chapter 425: Adamantium Bone Spurs (First update, please subscribe!)

"Even if you didn't kill Wraith, you killed Wade, Agent Zero, Sabretooth, and Kestrel, didn't you!"

Wolverine snorted.

Su Quan looked at him and said with pity: "Your life is a tragedy! You grew up in a wealthy family in Canada, but the family was not harmonious, so you were introverted and lonely as a child."

Wolverine's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Su Quan to know so much about his past. These were things from many years ago, and only Sabretooth knew about them.

Sabretooth...

Thinking of Sabretooth, Wolverine remembered that he had already been killed by Su Quan, and his hatred for Su Quan grew even more intense.

Today, he would avenge Sabretooth!

"One night, the gardener Logan killed your father. The pain of losing your father awakened the mutant gene in your body. Bone claws formed from your skeleton grew out of your body, and you used them to kill Logan."

"Ironically, Logan was actually the neighbor, and he was your biological father!"

"The truth about your background and the death of your two fathers left you at a loss. You ran away with your half-brother Victor, and after many twists and turns and countless experiences, you are here now!"

Su Quan looked at him: "Do you know what is tragic about you? Is it the truth of your birth? Is it killing your biological father with your own hands? No, not just that. This is just the beginning of your tragedy, not the end!"

Wolverine shouted grimly: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Sabretooth isn't dead, and neither are Wade and Kestrel. Only Agent Zero was killed by me," Su Quan said calmly.

"..."

Wolverine was stunned, then sneered: "You think I'll believe that?"

"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter, because crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant."

Su Quan squeezed his hand, and Wolverine was instantly knocked backward, slamming heavily into the wall.

Immediately after, amidst his painful low growls, the steel claws on his hands extended uncontrollably.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Adamantium Bone Spurs (Wolverine)"

Interesting...

The dropped reward actually updates along with the target's 'status' and overwrites the original ability.

Su Quan could feel that the bone claws he had previously acquired had been instantly replaced by Adamantium steel claws.

Tsk tsk tsk, Wolverine went through a life-and-death struggle with excruciating pain during the replacement, yet he himself completed it in an instant. I wonder if Wolverine would curse the heavens for being unfair if he knew?

Moreover, besides the bone spurs being replaced, the ulnar bone spurs that were categorized together were also replaced with Adamantium.

(The ability of the ulnar bone spurs came from Female Claw of The Boys.)

Sabretooth's tiger claws were not replaced; perhaps it was because they were not the same structure?

Su Quan looked at the angry and unwilling Wolverine and chuckled: "From your personal perspective, the Adamantium transformation has indeed made you stronger, but to me, it makes no difference."

"Besides, your enemy isn't me!"

"I did leave William Stryker, but I never intended to hunt down the mutant squad or erase any traces. My strength is enough for me to look down on everything."

"From beginning to end, this was all William Stryker's plan. He had me pretend to hunt the mutant squad so that you would voluntarily accept his transformation!"

The anger on Wolverine's face faded, and he was dazed for a moment before asking angrily again: "Why?! Why tell me now?!!!"

"You've already been transformed, so of course I don't need to take the blame anymore. However, I have other cooperation with him. I will take you back. As for the grudge between you two, solve it yourselves; it has nothing to do with me!"

Blob couldn't help but ask: "Wh-which side are you on?"

"I'm not on your side, nor am I on William Stryker's side. I am my own faction; I only stand on my own side," Su Quan said with a smile. "I cooperate with William Stryker because he has what I want."

Wolverine took a deep breath and calmed down: "If Sabretooth isn't dead, he must have completely defected to Stryker. That means... Wraith was likely killed by him!"

Wolverine guessed correctly; Wraith was indeed killed by Sabretooth. The reason Sabretooth killed Wraith was simple: to add teleportation abilities to Deadpool.

"Aren't you going to take me back? Let's do it now." Wolverine gave up resistance.

Although he was reckless, he wasn't truly brainless. Since Su Quan had said this much, he could naturally distinguish between good and bad...

Uh, although Su Quan's actions toward him couldn't be called "good," they didn't rise to the level of hatred either.

Su Quan didn't kill Sabretooth, nor did he really hunt down the mutant squad. Although he helped William Stryker deceive him into accepting the transformation, without Su Quan, there would be a Liu Quan, a Zhang Quan. Since William Stryker had set his sights on him, he would never give up.

Besides, Su Quan also gave him a chance for revenge!

If Su Quan intervened in his grudge with William Stryker, that would be truly taking him back. No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, he knew very well that Su Quan was far stronger than him!

If Su Quan didn't intervene, then it wasn't taking him back, but helping him.

Although he had escaped from the base before, he was drifting in the vast ocean and couldn't distinguish directions, let alone know the detailed location of the base.

He found Gambit because he heard that Gambit had once escaped from there, but before he could even mention it, Gambit brought up Su Quan, and then he came to find Su Quan.

"Sure, wait until I finish eating, and I'll take you back," Su Quan laughed, then looked at Blob and Gambit: "What about you two?"

Gambit said without hesitation: "I'm not going."

His friendship with Wolverine hadn't reached the point of risking his life, and he felt simple about Su Quan, so naturally, he didn't want to get involved.

"I'm not going either."

Blob came partly to avenge Wraith and partly for the sake of his own life.

Now that he knew Su Quan hadn't hunted the mutant squad and that Wraith might have been killed by Sabretooth, he was ready to give up.

He couldn't beat Sabretooth, Sabretooth was Wolverine's brother, and Sabretooth had William Stryker behind him, so what was the point of fighting? He'd just honestly find a place to live in seclusion and spend the rest of his life in peace.

As for Wraith's revenge?

Dead is dead, just rest in peace. With my current ability, I'm afraid there's no hope of avenging you.

Today, I sever my relationship with you. For this revenge of a friend's murder, please find someone more capable. Farewell!

Finally, I wish everyone their dreams come true and good health!

PS: Before I knew it, the New Year arrived. Although I've been busy for the New Year, I haven't felt any festive atmosphere at all. The New Year now feels less and less like it did when I was a child.
