Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Stephen Strange Kidnapped

"What did you say your name was?"

The next day on the rooftop, George looked at the tall man in a suit before him, a surprised expression on his face.

The man arrogantly straightened his clothes and replied,

"Stephen Strange. I warn you, this is kidnapping, and what you're doing is illegal. I will definitely hire a lawyer to sue you!"

"Could this guy be the future Doctor Strange?"

George looked at Leon beside him and asked,

"What's going on?"

"Other Doctors were willing to come for more pay, but this guy wouldn't, no matter how much we offered. Yet, he's currently New York's best neurologist.

So, we forcibly kidnapped him."

Leon pulled out his pistol and pressed it against Stephen's forehead:

"Kid, I advise you to watch your words. I know you have a girlfriend named Christine Palmer. You wouldn't want her to accidentally get hit by a car and die one day, would you?"

"You... fine... I'll be careful. Don't hurt her!"

Stephen's face showed anger upon hearing this, but for his girlfriend's safety, he had no choice but to endure.

"It really is Doctor Strange."

George raised an eyebrow. Same name, same profession, even the same girlfriend. There was no mistaking it.

He only remembered that Doctor Strange was a famous Doctor before, but he didn't know he was a neurologist.

However, it wasn't a big problem. The other party becoming Doctor Strange was six or seven years away. Now he was just an ordinary person. He wasn't going to kill him; he just needed him to help treat an illness.

It probably wouldn't attract the attention of Ancient One, that old salted fish.

"Leon, put down the gun. Don't be rude to Mr. Strange."

Waving Leon back, George stepped forward and smiled at Stephen and the group of Doctors:

"Don't worry, as long as you do your job well, the promised compensation will definitely not be less, and may even be more.

And I assure you that you and your families will be very safe and absolutely unharmed."

The Doctors, looking at George in his God of Death mask, almost simultaneously swallowed their saliva. Some of them already regretted taking this job for the money.

But Stephen had just set an "example" for them. They all had families and dared not raise any objections now, so they could only smile and nod.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's depart now."

George wasted no more time. He directly cast a Levitation Charm on each person, then controlled thin steel cables to tie them together, pulling them upward.

Stephen and the Doctors, feeling as if they were weightless as George pulled them into the air, also widened their eyes, nearly crying out in surprise.

These materialists simply could not comprehend the magical phenomena happening to them.

Just as they were about to faint from fear due to ascending too high, they suddenly entered the interior of a fighter jet.

It turned out that Isa had been keeping the X-Jet hidden in the clouds above the rooftop to pick up these Doctors.

"Who exactly are you?"

Sitting inside the X-Jet, Stephen's eyes were filled with vigilance as he looked at George.

If he had previously thought they were just gangsters who needed him to treat some important figure in their gang,

then the magical experience just now had completely overturned his previous thoughts.

He felt that he might have been dragged into something extraordinary, and if things went wrong, he might be silenced afterward.

"Don't worry. You'll know who I am in a moment.

No matter the outcome, I will not harm any of you."

George smiled and didn't explain too much.

He naturally wouldn't harm Stephen and these Doctors, but if Professor X and Wolverine were cured, their memories would definitely need to be erased.

The X-Jet was very fast and soon returned to the Mutant School.

George led Stephen and the group of Doctors to the Underground Room of the Base, pointing to Professor X and Wolverine, who were already waiting there, and introduced them:

"Professor X and Wolverine, you must have heard of them, right?"

Even if they hadn't seen the Zhenren (Immortal), the X-Men comics were still bestsellers worldwide, so they must have at least heard of them.

"I always thought Mutants were just fictional beings!"

Watching Wolverine slowly extend his Adamantium claws, Stephen and the Doctors' faces showed expressions of surprise.

Stephen and these Doctors were ordinary people. Many things, if not seen with their own eyes, could easily lead them to doubt past rumors under the deliberate guidance of the government and media.

Just like a modern person, you've heard many legends: the dragon falling incident, the Kunlun Mountain Hell Gate incident, and various supernatural events witnessed by older generations.

But except for a very few who believe, most normal people don't truly think they are real.

Even if some Daoist friend is undergoing lightning tribulation high above a city, unless you see it with your own eyes, even if you see a video, you'll subconsciously think it's just a computer-generated video.

Sometimes, even what you see with your own eyes isn't believed, thinking it's hallucinations from eating mushrooms or seeing a mirage.

If the government truly wants to cover up certain things, ordinary people may never know the truth their entire lives.

These Doctors were highly educated individuals and staunch materialists. If they hadn't seen Professor X and Wolverine with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that super-powered Mutants truly existed in the World.

"I'll explain their conditions, and then you can discuss and come up with a treatment plan."

George roughly explained Professor X and Wolverine's symptoms and also brought out the virus samples that inhibit Mutant genes, which were taken from the gene modification research institute.

After understanding the general situation, Stephen and the Doctors first used the medical equipment in the Underground Room to examine Professor and Wolverine, then analyzed the virus samples before beginning to research treatment plans.

At this moment, Stephen and these Doctors were not only motivated by money and their own safety, but also had a great interest in the existence of Mutants and their conditions, as such opportunities were rare.

Seeing this, George no longer disturbed them, returning to his dormitory to continue assisting his clone in studying magic.

In the evening, Stephen, on behalf of the Doctors, presented their demands to George.

"First, although your equipment here is very good, some of it is outdated. Here is a list; please procure some new equipment as soon as possible.

Secondly, after examination, we concluded that Mr. Logan's current symptoms are not primarily caused by toxins from the Adamantium. They are caused by the viruses that suppress Mutant genes, which have inhibited his self-healing ability.

As long as an antidote is formulated based on those virus samples to restore his self-healing ability, the toxins produced by Adamantium can be easily neutralized by his powerful self-healing ability.

Including Mr. Charles's power loss, which you mentioned, it is also affected by the virus, not entirely due to epilepsy.

Finally, Mr. Logan's problem is easy to solve, but Mr. Charles's problem is more troublesome.

I can tell you clearly that even if the toxins in his body are removed, due to long-term damage to his brain, his epilepsy cannot be completely cured and requires a long period of slow recuperation.

Furthermore, it's best not to continue using his abilities. He is not Mr. Logan; his body is just that of an ordinary old man and can no longer withstand the backlash from using his abilities."
