Chapter 427
Sabretooth was stunned, then suddenly smiled. He believed that what Su Quan said was likely the truth; William Stryker refused to transform him because he was worried he couldn't control him anymore, worried he would kill his master.
He laughed at William Stryker's cowardice, laughed at his own blindness, and laughed that Su Quan, who he thought looked down on him, would actually recruit him.
"I always thought you wanted to kill me." Sabretooth said while laughing, slowly standing up.
Su Quan shook his head: "No conflict of interest, and if you don't bare your fangs at me, I generally won't kill!"
"To put it bluntly, as your enemy or a bystander, I really don't like your personality. But as your master, I appreciate your obedience and your nature of biting whoever you're told to."
Su Quan didn't mean to insult Sabretooth; his personality was indeed a bit like a dog, or rather, like a beast.
Whoever can tame him, he listens to, and he can complete any order without hesitation!
If you can't tame him—hehe, he'll turn around and bite you to death!
William Stryker refused to help him transform for this reason.
Of course, that wasn't the only reason, because to William Stryker, the cost-effectiveness of transforming him was too low.
Transforming Wolverine allows for brainwashing.
Transforming him, brainwashing or not makes no difference, because he's already miserable.
And the stronger Wolverine is, the more he can make Sabretooth listen to him, so how could he risk helping Sabretooth transform and become stronger?
Sabretooth laughed ambiguously and asked: "What can you give me?"
Su Quan said: "If I say I can let you see a broader world and live a more exciting life, it sounds a bit like drawing a cake, so let's talk about something practical: I can strengthen your abilities and make you stronger."
Sabretooth knew that William Stryker had given Su Quan a portion of Adamantium, so he thought the strengthening meant using Adamantium to transform him like Wolverine, but Su Quan's next words left him stunned.
"I have an ability that can strengthen mutants' abilities, stimulate their talents and potential, and make their existing abilities stronger or gain new ones."
"Y-you're talking about abilities, not transformation?"
"Yes."
"..."
Sabretooth was shocked. It was his first time hearing that a mutant could enhance other mutants' abilities!
Su Quan was hiding too much, wasn't he?!
He didn't doubt that Su Quan was lying to him; on one hand, such a lie would be exposed over time, and on the other, with Su Quan's strength, there was no need to lie to him.
This is a very normal psychology, just like most people think rich people won't cheat for money or borrow money and not pay it back.
He's so rich, how could he cheat me out of this little bit of money?
And then—he got cheated!
"Hoo..." Sabretooth took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "From now on, I'll listen to you."
Su Quan didn't say he would strengthen Sabretooth, and Sabretooth didn't ask Su Quan to strengthen him, because he knew very well that to get a reward, he had to prove himself first!
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, dropped reward: Optic Blast (Cyclops)"
The appearance of the dropped reward meant that William Stryker had released Wade—the transformed Deadpool!
Wolverine and Deadpool were already fighting.
Deadpool has four abilities: self-healing, optic blasts, teleportation, and Adamantium dual swords.
They had already started, and they wouldn't stop until a winner was decided. Although the optic blast ability had already been acquired, other abilities had also been acquired from the original owners before.
But the original owner is the original owner, and Deadpool is Deadpool. Since Deadpool possessed these abilities, he could drop them.
Abilities can be stacked, why not stack them?
"Wade is out, go help him," Su Quan said to Sabretooth.
Sabretooth: "Help who?"
"Your brother."
Sabretooth curled his lips and went to find Wolverine and Wade.
Not long after, on the chimney of the abandoned nuclear power plant in the distance, Sabretooth and Wolverine had already joined forces to fight Deadpool.
At the same time, the sound of dropped rewards rang out again.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, dropped reward: Self-healing (Deadpool)"
"What the hell do you want to do!"
A low roar came from afar, and William Stryker walked toward Su Quan angrily with a gun.
Su Quan smiled and glanced at the gun he hadn't raised: "What do you want to do? Kill me?"
"I... you think I don't dare!" William Stryker was furious.
Uh, on the surface he was furious, because he didn't raise his gun.
Su Quan chuckled and explained: "Didn't I tell you to be prepared? He found me, I couldn't just kill him or lock him up, could I?"
William Stryker didn't believe or agree with this statement, but as long as he wasn't prepared to flip the table with Su Quan, he had to take the step down, and he even had to thank Su Quan for giving him the step.
If Su Quan didn't give him face, what could he do? Wouldn't he still have to find a step down for himself?
Besides, he wasn't afraid of Su Quan flipping the table!
To put it bluntly, did you really think he came to question him? Of course not, he came to confirm Su Quan's stance and attitude!
If Su Quan really didn't intervene, he actually wasn't worried about Wolverine, even with the addition of Sabretooth, who had defected and was helping Wolverine!
He had confidence in the transformed Wade!
Whatever they have, Wade has.
Whatever they don't have, Wade also has.
If he can't beat Su Quan, can't he beat Wolverine and Sabretooth?
"Your son is here too, right?" Su Quan suddenly asked.
William Stryker was startled and asked vigilantly: "What do you mean?"
Su Quan was dumbfounded: "Are you that vigilant toward me? To tell you an unpleasant truth, at most I'll pit you. If I want to kill you, it doesn't matter if you're vigilant or not!"
At most pit me?
Listen, is that human language!
William Stryker snorted angrily and asked: "Why are you asking about my son?"
"Just reminding you that it's best to send him away first. It's not just about you and Wolverine anymore."
William Stryker's expression tightened: "Who else?"
"You don't think that besides us, no one knows what you've done, right? Secretly capturing mutants, using mutants for experiments, carrying out transformations—you're making an enemy of the mutant race!"
"Professor X, you should have heard of him, right? Do you think if he finds out about this, he won't come to rescue these young mutants?"
William Stryker looked gloomy: "You notified Professor X?"
Su Quan rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Are you stupid? If I had notified Professor X, would I still tell you to prepare early? Like you, I want to use mutants for my own purposes, so I'll take over those mutants of yours, lest they go to Professor X."
