"Even if Phantom wasn't killed by you, then Wade, Agent Zero, Sabretooth, and Thunderbolt were killed by you, right!"
Wolverine snorted.
Samuel looked at him and said with pity, "Your life is a tragedy! As a child, you lived in a wealthy family in Canada, but this family was not harmonious, so as a child, you were introverted and lonely."
Wolverine's expression slightly changed. He didn't expect Samuel would know so much about his past. These were things from many years ago; only Sabretooth knew about them.
Sabretooth...
Thinking of Sabretooth, Wolverine thought of how he had already been killed by Samuel, and his hatred for Samuel also became increasingly strong.
Today, he was going to avenge Sabretooth!
"One night, the gardener Logan killed your Father. The pain of losing your Father made you awaken the Mutant gene in your body, bone claws formed from bone grew out of your body, and you killed Logan with the bone claws."
"What's dramatic is, Logan was actually the 'Old Wang next door'; he was your real Father!"
"The truth about your background and the death of your two Fathers made you feel helpless. You ran away with your half-brother Victor, wandering and struggling, experiencing countless things, until now!"
Samuel looked at him, "Do you know what is tragic about you? Is it the truth about your background? Is it killing your real Father with your own hands? No, it's not just that. This is just the beginning of your tragedy, not the end!"
Wolverine shouted fiercely, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Sabretooth isn't dead, Wade and Thunderbolt aren't dead either. Only Agent Zero was killed by me," Samuel said lightly.
"..."
Wolverine was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Do you think I'll believe that?"
"Whether you believe it or not isn't important, because for me to crush you is as easy as crushing an ant."
Samuel squeezed with one hand, and Wolverine instantly crashed backward, heavily hitting the wall.
Immediately after, amidst his painful low growl, the steel claws on his hands uncontrollably extended.
"Ding!"
"Battle detected, Drop reward: Adamantium Bone Claws (Wolverine)"
Interesting...
The drop reward actually updated and dropped again with the target's'state' update, and overwrote the original ability.
Samuel could feel that the bone claws that were originally extracted had been instantly replaced with Adamantium steel claws.
Tsk tsk tsk, when Wolverine was replacing them, it was fraught with peril and he experienced extreme pain, but he himself completed the replacement instantly. Don't know if he knew, would he curse the heavens for being unfair?
Moreover, besides the Bone Claws being replaced, the ulna bone claws/spurs that were categorized together were also replaced with Adamantium.
Sabretooth's tiger claws were not replaced. Maybe it's because they are not the same structure?
Samuel looked at the angry and unwilling Wolverine and said with a light laugh, "From your personal perspective, the Adamantium modification indeed made you stronger, but for me, there is no difference."
"Moreover, your enemy is not me!"
"I did indeed leave William Stryker, but I had no intention of hunting down the Mutant Squad or erasing any traces. My strength is enough to make me disregard everything."
"From beginning to end, this was all William Stryker's plan. He had me pretend to hunt down the Mutant Squad; the purpose was to make you voluntarily accept his modification!"
The anger on Wolverine's face faded. He was momentarily dazed and listless, then asked angrily again, "Why?! Why tell me now?!"
"You have already been completely modified, so of course, I don't need to keep taking the blame. However, I have another cooperation with him; I will take you back. As for the grudges between the two of you, resolve them yourselves. It has nothing to do with me!"
Blob couldn't help but ask, "You, whose side are you really on?"
"Not yours, and not William Stryker's. I'm my own faction, only on my own side," Samuel said with a smile. "I cooperate with William Stryker because he has what I want."
Wolverine took a deep breath and calmed down. "If Sabretooth isn't dead, he must have completely defected to Stryker. That means... Phantom was very likely killed by him!"
Wolverine guessed correctly. Phantom was indeed killed by Sabretooth. The reason Sabretooth killed Phantom was simple: to give Deadpool Teleportation ability.
"Didn't you want to take me back? Now's the time."
Although he was impulsive, he wasn't completely brainless. Since Samuel had spoken to this extent, he could naturally distinguish good from bad...
Uh, although Samuel's actions towards him couldn't be called good, they hadn't escalated to the point of hatred.
Samuel didn't kill Sabretooth, nor did he truly hunt down the Mutant Squad. Although he helped William Stryker deceive him into accepting the modification, without Samuel, there would have been Liu Quan, Zhang Quan. Since William Stryker had set his sights on him, he would absolutely not give up.
Moreover, Samuel also gave him a chance for revenge!
If Samuel intervened in his feud with William Stryker, it would be a genuine capture and return. Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he knew very well in his heart that Samuel was much stronger than him!
If Samuel didn't intervene, it wouldn't be capturing him and taking him back, but helping him.
Although he had escaped from the Base before, drifting in the vast ocean, he couldn't tell the direction at all, let alone the detailed location of the Base.
He found Gambit because he heard Gambit had escaped from somewhere. However, before he could even mention it, Gambit brought up Samuel, and then he came looking for Samuel.
"Alright, I'll take you back after I finish eating," Samuel chuckled and then looked at Blob and Gambit. "What about you?"
Gambit said without hesitation, "I'm not going."
His friendship with Wolverine hadn't reached the point where he would risk his life, and he found Samuel very simple, so he naturally didn't want to get involved.
"I'm not going either."
Blob came partly wanting to avenge Phantom, and partly for his own life.
Now that he knew Samuel wasn't hunting the Mutant Squad, and Phantom might have been killed by Sabretooth, he was ready to give up.
He couldn't defeat Sabretooth, and Sabretooth was Wolverine's brother, and Sabretooth also had William Stryker behind him. What was the point of fighting? It was better to find a place to live in seclusion and live the rest of his life peacefully.
As for Phantom's revenge?
You're already dead, so rest in peace. With my current ability, there's probably no hope of avenging you.
Today, I sever ties with you. For this revenge for a friend's death, please find someone more capable. Farewell!
