Chapter 278: Stryker's Visit

"Judging from the information in my hands, this Stryker is much more troublesome than I imagined."

Inside the villa room, Ye Nan looked at the documents in his hands and rubbed his temples.

Because the plot of X-Men 2 had already occurred, Ye Nan was constantly analyzing the information in his hands within the room, looking for a suitable entry point.

As of now, he had found two entry points: one was when Professor X was captured, and the other was when Jean Grey and the others entered the base to rescue Professor X.

If Ye Nan acted when Professor X was captured, he could directly destroy General Stryker's conspiracy, but there was no guarantee what tricks Stryker might play.

The second entry point was relatively more stable, but he would have to face Magneto, the Magneto who had sabotaged the X-Men and the others before they set off.

"Which entry point is better to look for?" Ye Nan hesitated, picking up the documents in his hands again.

General Stryker was a scientist in the military. Although his title was General, he could not lead troops; he was just like those generals in China who became generals by singing—he belonged to the literary and art troupe.

But this General Stryker was very crazy. He presided over many studies and had achieved many results in the field of mutant research. This could be seen from the fact that he created Wolverine Logan.

Because his wife was killed by his own mutant son, he turned his son into an idiot and had hated and been hostile toward mutants ever since.

During World War II, he followed the orders of the then-President Roosevelt and presided over the "Weapon X" project. He secretly collected many mutants, and Sabretooth and Logan were among them.

However, because of the failure of the "Weapon X" project and the end of World War II, General Stryker became a staff officer in the military and joined the Department of Defense. Later, under the purge of American financial groups, he defected to Douglas. He survived smoothly and was highly valued by Douglas.

"Douglas?" Ye Nan looked at the documents in his hands, and his brows furrowed instantly.

If General Stryker was Douglas's man, then he should be in the same camp as Professor X. Why would he go and lock Douglas up?

"Wait." A flash of inspiration crossed Ye Nan's mind, and he stood up abruptly. "If he wasn't in the same camp as Professor X, Professor X wouldn't have handed Magneto over to General Stryker for custody."

"If this is really the case, then either General Stryker betrayed Douglas, or Douglas made a move against Professor X."

"But this is impossible. The relationship between Professor X and Douglas is very close. Professor X's school was also established with Douglas's support. More importantly, judging from the plot, General Stryker doesn't know where the X-School is."

"All the evidence shows: General Stryker wants to betray Douglas."

"If this is the case, it explains why Professor X handed Magneto over to General Stryker for custody, and why he was so at ease with General Stryker. Mr. Douglas, do you also misjudge people?"

A gloating smile appeared on Ye Nan's face. When Douglas accepted General Stryker's defection and gave General Stryker great power, he probably didn't expect that General Stryker would slap him hard in the face.

"I said long ago that people not on the same path will eventually part ways."

"Brother Ye Nan, General Stryker is here to visit." Smila's figure appeared in front of Ye Nan.

"General Stryker? What is he doing here?" Hearing this, Ye Nan's brows immediately furrowed.

He had just been looking at Stryker's information, and the man himself had arrived. This really was a case of "speak of the devil."

"He just said he came to visit you." Smila shook her head...

"Let him in. By the way, Smila, send over the situation on the nameless island later. Although there are reports about it in the newspapers, that's all bullshit." Ye Nan cursed angrily.

The newspapers were full of how the US military was doing this and that all day long, but there wasn't a single report about the Xenomorphs. The reason for this situation was entirely due to the blockade by major financial groups.

Because they didn't want the public to panic, and because they didn't want the public to know about certain things, the major financial groups issued orders. Therefore, what the American public learned was that the US military and mysterious forces were fighting on the nameless island, and the opponent was using Terminators.

Ye Nan originally didn't intend to do as they said, but when old DuPont found him and explained the stakes, he followed the methods of the other financial groups and blocked the information on the internet.

"Hmm." Smila responded and disappeared from Ye Nan's room. Soon, General Stryker, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked in under the guidance of a Terminator.

General Stryker was a stout general with half-black and half-white hair, proving that he was already very old. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and he looked very kind.

"General Stryker, I was just looking at your information." Ye Nan raised the documents in his hand and threw them in front of General Stryker.

Stryker caught the documents in his hand and started reading. After a while, he put the documents down and smiled faintly, "Very detailed information. The ICQ financial group collects it quite well."

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to find me?" Ye Nan's voice suddenly became impatient, "Neither you nor I have much time left."

"What do you mean by that?" Hearing this, General Stryker's face immediately became gloomy, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"I came here, not to fight with you, so don't scare me."

"Scare you? I don't have the interest." Ye Nan scoffed at Stryker's words, "You idiot, you were followed and didn't even know it."

Ye Nan smashed the glass with a sudden punch and jumped out. He saw a black shadow turning to leave just as Ye Nan jumped out.

"You want to leave after coming here?" Ye Nan sneered, his body quickly chasing after it. "Leave your life behind."

Ye Nan grabbed the black shadow, and the energy in his hand suddenly erupted, enveloping the black shadow. He only heard the black shadow let out an "ah" scream, and the whole body turned into ashes in Ye Nan's hand.

General Stryker stood at the window, stretched his head out, and saw the black shadow Ye Nan had caught. He immediately cursed secretly: "Fuck, someone actually followed me."

However, when Stryker saw the power Ye Nan displayed, he was immediately shocked.

"What on earth is that? Fire? How can fire burn things so thoroughly?"

General Stryker pondered in his heart, and the words he originally wanted to say began to change.

"General Stryker." After Ye Nan killed the black shadow, he immediately jumped up, grabbed the window with one hand, crushed the glass shards on it, leaped up, and landed steadily in the room.

"General Stryker, you almost dragged me into the water." Ye Nan looked at General Stryker with deep meaning.

He met with General Stryker in the middle of the night. No matter what they said, outsiders would think they had some kind of relationship, even though this was the first time he and General Stryker had met.

"It is indeed my fault. I didn't expect him to send someone to follow me. If it weren't for Mr. Ye Nan's superpowers, I'm afraid I would have died miserably." When General Stryker mentioned superpowers, a hint of hatred clearly flashed in his eyes, but this hint of hatred flashed by and disappeared into the depths of his pupils in the blink of an eye...

"Then what did you come to find me for?" Ye Nan sat down in his seat, stretched his hands back, and stretched.

"Some matters regarding our cooperation." General Shi Cuike looked at Ye Nan, a smile appearing on his face once again. "I heard that Mr. Ye Nan is pushing the Mutant Registration Act behind the scenes. Binding mutants across the entire world—may I take it that Mr. Ye Nan is dissatisfied with mutants?"

"Not dissatisfied, it's just that the perspective is different." Ye Nan yawned, sleepy, "If General Stryker still can't get to the point, I'm going to sleep."

Ye Nan clearly wanted to drive him away, which made Stryker feel a hint of dissatisfaction. However, he remained calm on the surface and continued to say: "I know you have some conflicts with Professor X. You once mobilized the Terminator army to besiege his school. I can help you teach him a lesson, make him kneel in front of you, and beg for mercy on his knees."

Hearing Stryker say he could make Professor X beg for mercy on his knees, Ye Nan immediately became interested, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true." Seeing that Ye Nan was interested, Stryker immediately became excited, "I have already mastered the method to deal with him. I have even formulated a series of plans. As long as you help me and give me support, I can make him kneel in front of you and beg for mercy."

"How to help you." Ye Nan's expression was cold, but his mind was constantly thinking.

"It seems Stryker is determined to betray Douglas and make a move against Professor X. In this way, I can completely use Stryker's hand to kill Magneto."

"No, that won't work. Magneto cannot die. If he dies, there will be no one to check Professor X. Once Stryker completes his plan, I will be finished too."

Ye Nan pondered in his heart, one strategy after another surging up from the bottom of his heart. He constantly deduced these strategies, trying hard to find a suitable one, a foolproof plan.

"I need a large amount of money." When General Stryker mentioned money, his expression became crazy, "I betrayed Douglas, I will inevitably be hunted down. I need a large amount of money to cover my tracks. How about it?"

"Want to confuse me?" Ye Nan sneered in his heart.

Stryker said he betrayed Douglas because he helped Ye Nan, so he needed a large amount of money. But in fact, he betrayed Douglas first and then came to cooperate with Ye Nan. He completely reversed the order, deliberately confusing Ye Nan.

"I can give you a large amount of money, but you must let me see Professor X and make him kneel in front of me and apologize." After Ye Nan agreed, he put forward his own conditions.

"Can do." Stryker agreed readily.

Seeing that Stryker agreed, Ye Nan immediately muttered in his heart, "He agreed so early. It seems he had already planned to deal with Professor X, or even when he met me, he was already completing his plan."

"Smila, call someone in to fix the window. General Stryker and I are going out for a while." Ye Nan put all the documents on the table into his drawer and then left, "General Stryker, let's go. Let me see how Professor X kneels in front of me and repents." ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
