In the secret prison far from the living quarters, Samuel followed William Stryker through layers of guards and saw Mutants locked in cages.
These Mutants were not old, both male and female, and should have only recently awakened their abilities.
They wore identical prison uniforms, each with a number printed on it representing their identity.
Their eyes and expressions varied, showing anticipation, fear, despair, and numbness.
Samuel's gaze swept over them one by one, and whenever he saw a female Mutant, he would deliberately show that look that all men understand.
"They've captured quite a few characters with names..."
Samuel saw Cyclops with his eyes covered, Toad with his long tongue sticking out, White Queen in a white tank top, and Silver Fox looking nervous.
And...
A girl who could emit cold temperatures.
A boy who could turn into smoke.
A boy who was restrained but vibrating at high speed.
Besides them, the other Mutants had no obvious features and did not display their abilities.
Samuel didn't know their identities and it was hard to match them up.
William Stryker smiled and asked him if he had anyone in mind. Samuel pointed casually, "Her."
William Stryker followed his gaze and frowned slightly, "Her name is Keira. She can release Mind Manipulation Ability through physical contact to control others."
Samuel said confidently, "She can't control me."
Saying that, he walked directly to Keira's cage and reached his hand in.
"Control me."
Keira, not understanding, looked at William Stryker.
William Stryker didn't say anything, only giving a warning look to the girl in the white tank top in another cage.
That was Keira's sister.
Keira didn't dare to act rashly for her sister's sake. Although she grabbed Samuel's hand and released her ability, she didn't dare to even think about controlling Samuel to save them.
"Huh?"
A moment later, Keira let out a light gasp, looked at Samuel in disbelief, and released her ability again.
"It's useless, right?" Samuel said smugly, "I'm immune to Mind Manipulation Ability. You can't control me."
William Stryker was very surprised. He didn't expect that besides controlling gravity, Samuel could also be immune to Mind Manipulation Ability. This made him think even more highly of Samuel.
Originally, he had other plans for Keira, but now, using her to win over Samuel was also a good idea.
William Stryker walked to the control panel and had his subordinate open Keira's cage door.
"She's yours, enjoy!"
"I will!"
Samuel laughed heartily and directly controlled Keira's gravity, causing her to float out of the cage against her will and follow Samuel's steps.
"Keira! Keira! Where are you taking her? Let her go, let her go!"
White Queen, wearing a white tank top, saw her sister being taken away and anxiously grabbed the cage, shouting loudly.
Samuel stopped and looked at White Queen a few times, then smiled and asked Keira, "You know each other?"
"She's my sister."
"I'll choose her next time."
Samuel pointed at White Queen arrogantly, and without waiting for William Stryker, he impatiently took Keira out of the prison and flew back to his residence.
Not long after, William Stryker received a message from his subordinate, confirming that Samuel had no other intentions and was genuinely enjoying himself.
As a result, he trusted Samuel a little more.
Samuel's origin was unknown; it could be said that he actively sought him out or rather, his squad.
He also actively mentioned the imprisoned Mutants and actively chose Keira, who possessed Mind Manipulation Ability.
What if it was planned?
What if it was a conspiracy?
One had to be on guard!
Now, however, he could relax a little and trust him more!
As long as he behaved himself and worked for him, such small requests were nothing.
The more demands he made and the more reckless he acted, the easier he would be to control!
The night passed without incident.
The next day, in the early morning.
Samuel drank coffee, looking at the numb and resentful Keira, and did not reveal that he would save them from here in the future.
On one hand, he didn't trust her and worried that she would reveal a weakness due to her concern for her sister, ruining his enjoyment of the new role.
On the other hand, it was too early to act now. Wolverine's bone claws had not yet been replaced with Adamantium, and he had not established a firm relationship and emotional connection with Keira and White Queen.
What if Professor X, who also came to deal with the Mutants, kidnapped them when Wolverine came to kill?
So, he should focus on playing his current new role, and as for the rest, let the bullet fly for a while longer.
Samuel looked at her and said with a light smile, "I really like the way you hate me but can't do anything to me, and I like the feeling of being controlled, manipulated, and obediently listening to me even though you clearly hate me!"
Keira remained silent with a resentful expression, her cold eyes looking as if she wanted to skin him alive.
Samuel didn't mind and held up two fingers, "You have two choices."
"One, keep looking at me like this, and I'll send you back and bring your sister out."
"Two..."
"Don't hurt my sister!" Keira immediately became anxious.
Samuel pouted, "Then stop looking like you want to kill me all the time. Believe me, you'll thank me!"
Keira withdrew her resentful expression and gaze, burying it in her heart.
Samuel smiled with satisfaction, "That's right. You're not stupid. You should know that it's unlikely you'll escape alive. You'll die sooner or later. Isn't it better to suffer less?"
"The fact that I can bring you out is enough to prove my status here. Although I can't let you leave, I can still manage to give you good food and make you suffer less."
"Even if you don't think for yourself, think for your sister!"
Keira was somewhat persuaded. Since she couldn't resist, why not try to get some benefits for her sister?
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door. Samuel called out for them to come in, and he saw a female soldier pushing a dining cart enter.
The food was placed on the table, a double portion of breakfast.
"Prepare another portion and pack it for me."
"Yes."
The female soldier didn't say anything else, nodded, and left with the dining cart.
"Eat. After you finish, I'll send you back. That portion is for your sister."
Although he didn't know what kind of food the imprisoned Mutants had, their treatment was definitely not as good as what was prepared for Samuel.
Not to mention the imprisoned Mutants, even the members of the Mutant Squad didn't have as good treatment as Samuel.
The reason for this favoritism was simple: who made Samuel's ability strong?
The ability to control gravity was definitely the strongest ability on this island!
Bad treatment?
Believe it or not, I can sink this island in minutes?
Although nominally Samuel also joined the Mutant Squad, there was no difference between him and the other Mutants.
But joining and joining are not the same!
Look, who among them dares to fish people out of prison? Who can fish people out of prison?
Even the arrogant Sabretooth wouldn't dare to make any unreasonable demands!
