Chapter 849: The Death of Shi Cuike and the Awakened Aurora! (Second update, please subscribe!)

"Jason—Jason—control her, quickly—control her!"

The excruciating pain in his shoulder and the threat from Deathstrike left William Shi Cuike with no time to think; sweat and blood dripped onto the ground, and the only person he could rely on now was his son.

Unfortunately, his son was a tool, and a tool could only obey orders, not possess a self!

Moreover, this tool, Jason Shi Cuike, was not that perfect; occasionally, he would even disobey.

Just like now, Jason Shi Cuike was already locked in a struggle with Su Quan's psychic power and hadn't heard William Shi Cuike's new instructions at all!

Even if he had known, he might have cared, but he would not have obeyed.

"Jason... Jason..." William Shi Cuike's shouting failed to get a response from his son; instead, it waited for Deathstrike's steel claws.

"Squelch—squelch—squelch—"

Deathstrike lowered William Shi Cuike, and her ten adamantium claws pierced his body like a violent storm.

"Squelch—" Deathstrike retracted her claws, breathing slightly as she watched William Shi Cuike, now riddled with holes and bleeding profusely, slowly collapse to the ground.

William Shi Cuike looked at her in disbelief, the light in his eyes gradually dimming until it vanished completely.

He had not expected, nor could he accept, that he would actually die at the hands of Deathstrike, a tool he controlled!

Before he died, he actually felt a trace of hatred!

The hatred was not for Deathstrike, who killed him, nor for his son who 'stood by and watched,' but for—Su Quan!

He hated that Su Quan had not intervened.

He felt that even if he were to die, the person who killed him should have been Su Quan; a tool like Deathstrike, which he controlled, had no right to kill him!

This was his final pride, but unfortunately, it was useless; dead is dead, and death does not care who did the deed.

"Squelch!"

The sharp, slender steel claws pierced through the back of the wheelchair and Jason Shi Cuike's heart, emerging from his chest.

Jason Shi Cuike's psychic power dissipated, his body twitched slightly for a moment, and then he hung his head, motionless.

Deathstrike retracted her claws without changing her expression, walked up to Su Quan, and explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't know how you wanted to deal with him, but he was too dangerous; I had to kill him."

Su Quan did not care about Jason Shi Cuike's death; to him, this was an insignificant person, and besides, death might be a form of relief for him.

"They are dead, your revenge is complete, and the things of the past have vanished like smoke; what are your plans for the future?" Su Quan skipped over Jason Shi Cuike's death entirely.

Deathstrike was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know, I... I have no family, no friends, and I don't know what I should do in the future."

"I... can I follow you?"

Su Quan smiled broadly, "Even if you didn't want to, I would find a way to make you follow me."

Deathstrike smiled; her heart was no longer lost, and there was a sense of stability that calmed her down.

William Shi Cuike's death would soon be discovered; after all, he was the person in charge of this base and also the head of the Weapon X program, so the higher-ups would certainly pay attention.

Su Quan cleared the surveillance records in the base and also erased the file information of the seven mutants.

Then, taking Deathstrike, Nightcrawler, the seven sleeping mutants, and the adamantium, he teleported away from the dam base.

William Shi Cuike's death saved the X-Mansion from a disaster; otherwise, according to the movie's development, William Shi Cuike would have led a team to attack the school and captured many students.

Jean Grey would also have sacrificed herself in subsequent events, then resurrected as the Dark Phoenix, killed the Professor, participated in the Battle of Alcatraz, and finally been killed by Wolverine.

Poor Jean Grey, she died twice... which means he indirectly saved her twice!

A life-saving grace, shouldn't she repay it with her body? Saved her twice, it's reasonable to throw in Storm, right?

Back to the point.

Su Quan did not take Deathstrike and the others to the X-Mansion, but went to the Hellfire Club instead.

The adamantium was sent directly to another timeline, along with Nightcrawler.

There was no help for it; the Hellfire Club was dominated by women, and leaving him there wouldn't serve any purpose; instead, it would just make everyone awkward.

In the inner area of the club, everyone gathered together.

The White Queens (big and small), the Mystiques (big and small), the St. Croix sisters, Psylocke, Jubilee, Blink, and the newly joined Deathstrike were all looking at the seven female mutants placed side-by-side on the sofa.

"Who do you think will be the first to wake up?"
