In the RV, Chris Bradley drank silently. After a long while, he seemed to finally sober up from the series of truths Samuel had told him.
"You're not from this World... not from this timeline, and recruiting me and other Mutants is also to have us work for you on other timelines?"
"Honestly, if it weren't for the alcohol I drank later, I would have thought I was already drunk."
Samuel twirled his finger and pressed down gently. A surge of gravity instantly pressed Chris Bradley to the ground.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Power Generation and Control (Thunderbolt)"
Samuel looked at the helpless Chris Bradley and asked with a smile: "Are you sober now?"
"I'm not drunk."
Chris Bradley got up gloomily and asked curiously: "When will you send me to that timeline?"
"Now."
"This fast?"
Chris Bradley was a little surprised, but on second thought, he felt relieved.
For him, there was nothing to miss in this World. Living on any timeline in the future would be the same.
A new timeline, a new beginning, this is pretty good too!
Samuel used Shockwave to sense Red Devil, gave a brief explanation, and sent Chris Bradley to Void Island.
Void Island was waiting to be rebuilt. His ability could contribute to the island's construction.
According to William Stryker's plan, Deadpool, Agent Zero, Sabretooth, and now Thunderbolt, had all been killed by Samuel.
The Mutant Squad now only had Phantom, Blob, and Wolverine, who had already left a long time ago.
Phantom's ability overlapped with Red Devil's ability, and Blob's ability was average. Furthermore, Samuel had already obtained both of their abilities, so he didn't pay special attention to them.
If he could recruit them, he would; if not, it didn't matter.
Besides Wolverine and Gambit, there were no other known Mutants he was interested in at this point in time.
Waving his hand to annihilate Agent Zero's corpse, Samuel led everyone out of the RV and started playing in the lively carnival amusement park.
Among everyone, only Big Raven, Xiao Ruiwen, and Keira were older and relatively more mature. White Queen and the Sainte-Croix sisters were in their youthful age, precisely when they were interested in amusement parks.
After all, there weren't many entertainment options in this era, and amusement parks were definitely one of the places they most wanted to go to at their age!
At first, White Queen and the Sainte-Croix sisters were a bit reserved. After all, they were different from ordinary peers; having experienced so much, they were definitely more mature psychologically.
But as they played, they gradually let loose and let their true nature show.
Ferris wheel, carousel, all sorts of amusement rides... they played almost every ride.
Samuel only took them away when the amusement park was about to close.
Three days later.
At a remote logging camp, William Stryker found Wolverine.
"I have a job for you."
Wolverine pouted: "I already have a job."
"A logger? Your annual salary is probably only eighteen thousand, right?"
"Eighteen thousand five hundred, and I don't have to kill anyone."
"Are your hands itching?"
"A little now."
The atmosphere was a bit stiff.
The reclusive Wolverine clearly didn't welcome William Stryker much.
William Stryker said: "I regret our unpleasant parting before, but... Chris Bradley was killed three days ago."
Saying this, he handed Wolverine a newspaper. The newspaper had a photo of Chris Bradley and the news of his death.
"Before him were Wade, Agent Zero, and... Victor!"
Wolverine immediately stiffened, and the newspaper was almost crushed in his hand.
"Who did it?"
"Samuel, you should still remember!" William Stryker said very frankly, "Not long ago I disbanded the Mutant Squad, but Samuel took a fancy to a female Mutant there, so he stayed."
"Later, he saved that female Mutant and her sister, as well as two other female Mutants."
"After that, he started hunting members of the Mutant Squad!"
Wolverine frowned and asked, "Why?"
William Stryker said, "I guess he is trying to erase all traces of his existence. You, me, the Base, are all targets he wants to hunt."
Wolverine sneered, "This is why You came to me, You are afraid he will kill You!"
William Stryker was unconcerned, "Aren't You afraid? He can kill Victor, he can kill You!"
"Then let him try."
Wolverine slapped the newspaper on him, turned around and left.
William Stryker looked at his back, not at all angry about his uncooperative attitude. He knew very well that Wolverine would not cooperate with him so easily.
He needed to wait.
Waiting for Wolverine to be beaten by reality, and realize that he is indeed no match for Samuel, let alone avenge his brother, he can't even protect himself. At that time, he will naturally accept cooperation.
In front of a wooden house deep in the mountains, Wolverine got out of the car, sniffed with cold eyes, spread his hands, and his bone claws slowly extended.
"Come out!"
Wolverine stared at his home and shouted in a low voice.
"Creak--" The wooden door of the wooden house slowly opened, and a pair of identical twins appeared in Wolverine's eyes.
Wolverine was slightly stunned, and then heard the twin sisters say one sentence after another.
"Are You James?"
"Come in, Master is waiting for You."
After speaking, they turned around and went in without waiting for his response.
"This is my home!" Wolverine snorted unhappily, and walked in directly with the boldness of a skilled person.
...
As soon as he entered, Wolverine was stunned.
He saw Samuel sitting on the sofa in the living room with great swagger, a tall woman was massaging his shoulders behind him, and a beauty was kneeling beside his legs, also massaging his legs.
Did You think that was it?
No!
There were also two women with equally good looks making coffee near the bar.
Good heavens, this setup is too grand, isn't it?
And...
This is my home, why are You so casual?!
"I don't remember inviting You, and... You killed Victor?" Wolverine narrowed his eyes and stared at Samuel coldly.
Samuel said with a smile, "What does it matter whether I invite You or not, You won't be living here anymore anyway."
"You are hunting the Mutant Squad? To erase the traces?"
"As long as someone knows You, no matter how far You hide, it's useless, just like You!"
Wolverine snorted, "William Stryker came to me, the person You should kill the most is him."
Samuel said with a light smile, "It's not too late to kill him after dealing with You."
"I don't think so!"
Wolverine shook his arms, leaped high, and pounced directly at Samuel.
He's making a move already?
Samuel smiled and waved his hand, and Wolverine in mid-air was instantly fixed by an invisible force. Immediately after, he heard a 'crack', and Wolverine's bone claws were instantly and neatly broken off by this force.
Cracking sounds rose and fell one after another, along with Wolverine's painful screams!
