Chapter 426: You lost because you didn't pick the right master

"Whoosh—"

Purple energy suddenly lit up in front of the island base's building. The dazzling light made the guards freeze for a few seconds, and it wasn't until several figures walked out of the purple energy that they woke up like a dream and sounded the alarm.

"Intruders!"

"Someone's invading! Someone's invading!"

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"

Shouts and gunfire rang out almost simultaneously, and bullets rained down on Wolverine.

Wolverine ignored the shooting, letting the bullets hit his body. He was like a beast coming down the mountain, grimly waving his nearly indestructible Adamantium steel claws.

"Puchi—puchi—"

Blood splattered, corpses fell to the ground, and Wolverine entered a no-man's-land, crazily harvesting the lives of his enemies.

At this moment, he could be described in four words.

Unstoppable!

More and more guards rushed to the scene, but they couldn't stop Wolverine's slaughter; instead, it stirred up his ferocity, and he charged even harder!

Big Raven looked at Su Quan for instructions. To her, these people were no different from those of Bolivar Trask back then; they didn't deserve mercy!

Su Quan smiled and waved at William Stryker, who was ashen-faced inside the building, signaling that he wouldn't participate, while saying to the others: "You split up. The mission is to protect our Adamantium ore and weapons, and to recruit the imprisoned mutants."

Big Raven nodded with a slight curl of her lips and turned to leave with the others.

The old rules: the Stepford Cuckoos stayed by Su Quan's side, Big and Little Raven and Kayla were in one group, and Little White Queen and the others were in pairs. Big Raven and Little White Queen went to rescue—oh no, to recruit mutants—and Little Raven and Kayla went to find the Adamantium.

This time, it could be considered pitting William Stryker, as he brought Wolverine over without prior notice.

Although Su Quan didn't intervene, his people were recruiting mutants and protecting the Adamantium, which was a bit like looting a burning house.

What? You ask if William Stryker would be unhappy or flip the table?

Stop joking, it's not even certain if he can survive.

Even if he could survive afterward, he isn't the type of person to act recklessly out of rage, is he?

Flip the table? He needs the strength and qualifications to do so.

You think he's a crow, daring to flip anyone's table?

Even if he took a step back, even if he wanted to flip the table in a fit of rage, he would have to be able to flip it, and there would have to be a table to flip!

After this incident, Su Quan would take Big and Little Raven and the others to jump the timeline, meeting up with White Queen on one hand and connecting to the X-Men plot on the other.

By then, he would have no utility value, and when they meet again, it's not certain who will be flipping the table!

"Victor!"

"You really didn't die!"

Wolverine met Sabretooth.

Sabretooth looked gloomy, his expression toward him filled with anger and unwillingness.

He could be said to have followed William Stryker wholeheartedly, working for him and risking his life for him.

But, why?!

Why could Wolverine accept the Adamantium transformation, but he couldn't?

William Stryker didn't believe he could succeed.

He wasn't convinced!

He wanted to prove himself!

You don't think I'm as good as him?

Fine!

Then I'll defeat him!

Sabretooth snorted coldly and lunged forward fiercely.

"Swish—"

Steel claws flashed. Wolverine roared and sprinted toward Sabretooth, who had just landed. The sharp Adamantium steel claws pierced deeply into his chest, pinning him heavily to the ground.

Although Sabretooth's self-healing ability was slightly weaker than Wolverine's, this level of injury wouldn't cause substantial impact.

Sabretooth, in a frenzy, stood up and threw Wolverine away. Then, the two began to fight face-to-face, you scratch me, I stab you.

Every claw was fatal, yet no blood was seen!

Trading injury for injury, life for life.

After several moves, Sabretooth began to show signs of defeat. Wolverine seized the opportunity, used his steel claws to pierce through his chest, and pushed him out of the window.

With a crash, the window frame shattered, and the glass broke into pieces, hitting the ground along with Wolverine and Sabretooth.

Wolverine was on top, Sabretooth on the bottom.

That hit was heavy!

Wolverine pulled out his steel claws amidst Sabretooth's painful twitching and aimed them at his chin.

Sabretooth, unable to struggle, looked at Wolverine, who was trying to restrain himself from dealing a fatal blow, and smiled provocatively.

"Feels good, right? Full of anger, don't you want to vent it? Come on, do it!"

"Come on, do it, what are you hesitating for?"

"Do it, end all of this!"

Wolverine stared at him fixedly, the veins on his neck looking like they were about to explode.

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..." Wolverine panted, slowly retracting his steel claws.

"When I heard you were killed by Su Quan, I..." Wolverine looked at Sabretooth, who had also calmed down, suddenly took a deep breath, and threw a fierce punch.

"Bang!"

A powerful punch knocked Sabretooth unconscious.

Wolverine stood up, glanced at Su Quan, who was watching the fun not far away, turned silently, and entered the building again to look for William Stryker.

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't hit a person in the face, that punch of his carried some personal grudges." Su Quan walked leisurely to Sabretooth's side.

Although his self-healing ability ensured he wouldn't be easily killed, it didn't mean he couldn't be knocked out.

Sabretooth was truly knocked out.

Speaking of which, Sabretooth and Wolverine, this pair of half-brothers, had a bit of a "love-hate" relationship.

Sabretooth letting Wolverine attack was to release his beastly ferocity, making him become like himself so that the brothers could be together again like before.

Wolverine would also feel sad and angry about Sabretooth's death.

But Wolverine didn't turn into a beast, and Sabretooth didn't die, so the "love" part was skipped, and they continued to want to kill each other.

Different paths, no common ground.

Even if they weren't together, even if they were enemies, it didn't mean they had no brotherly affection!

Just like Magneto and Professor X, fighting is fighting, but if one is in danger, the other really steps up!

Sabretooth fainted quickly and woke up quickly.

With a grunt, he slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Su Quan, Sabretooth said dully: "Have you seen enough of the show?"

Su Quan smiled and asked: "Have you ever thought about why you lost?"

"I don't have Adamantium."

"No!"

Su Quan shook his head and said to the somewhat resentful Sabretooth: "The reason you lost is that you didn't pick the right master!"

"Your abilities are basically identical. Even if you are weaker than him, you aren't that much weaker. The Adamantium transformation wouldn't have any problems; you could handle it!"

Sabretooth's eyes shifted: "What do you mean?"

"The biggest reason Stryker refused to transform you was that he was worried he couldn't control you anymore, worried you would kill your master."

"And I, I'm not afraid."
