William Stryker thought for a moment and said, "Wade's modification still needs some time to complete. I plan to add a few more abilities for him. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Self-healing, Teleportation, Cyclops, plus Adamantium twin blades like Wolverine. That's pretty good." Samuel looked at him with a half-smile and commented, "With these abilities, let alone dealing with Wolverine, even dealing with me would be enough."
William Stryker's heart skipped a beat, but he said without changing his expression, "Your single ability to control gravity is enough to render all his abilities useless. Compared to you, he's still far behind."
Samuel gave a 'hehe' in response. William Stryker's words were just for listening; whoever believed them had a brain full of water.
The raw power of this version of Deadpool he modified is much stronger than the Deadpool the public is familiar with. Unless the opponent's ability completely counters him or can absolutely overwhelm him, few could defeat him in a one-on-one fight.
Moreover, if he can't face the opponent head-on, can't he just assassinate them?
Teleportation combined with Cyclops and Adamantium twin blades, a sudden sneak attack – who can defend against that?
And who can guard against a thief for a thousand days?
Samuel was certain that William Stryker modified Wade precisely to target himself.
It was a surface-level cooperation; both sides knew it clearly. Samuel also didn't mind William Stryker making small moves in private. After all, in the face of absolute strength, all small moves would ultimately just turn into a comical performance.
Samuel was not stingy regarding the amount of Adamantium. It wasn't that he looked down on Adamantium, but he had countless Vibranium. In terms of applicability, Vibranium's effect was better than Adamantium.
Samuel had William Stryker forge a batch of cold weapons using Adamantium, such as daggers, twin blades, spears, clubs, shields, helmets, etc. Then he went to the prison and brought out the girl who could emit a cold aura.
"When you are ready, contact me anytime." Samuel said a sentence to William Stryker, then took the cold aura girl and directly Teleported away.
Back in the hotel suite.
Samuel first extracted the cold aura girl's ability. Her ability was similar to Killer Frost; although she couldn't directly create or control ice, she could passively absorb surrounding heat energy and uncontrollably release cold air.
This was a natural human-shaped icebox. Taking her along, Raven and Xiao Ruiwen would have to wear a few more layers of clothes!
So that his eyes could continue to discover and appreciate beauty, Samuel sent her to Void Island on another timeline, where the climate was tropical and her ability was needed to lower the temperature.
Samuel took the others and still mingled in Las Vegas, living a decadent and luxurious life. Every day was either shopping or frequenting different casinos, occasionally taking a cruise ship out to sea to fish or holding a party at sea, etc.
Besides that, his relationship and feelings with Raven and Xiao Ruiwen, Keira, White Queen, and the Sainte-Croix sisters were getting better and better. They had also become accustomed to this 'big family' mode of interaction among themselves.
Time flew by, and this kind of life didn't last long before it was broken by Wolverine and others who came knocking.
Evening, restaurant.
Wolverine walked in, bringing Blob, who had become fat as a ball, and Gambit.
Looking around, finding Samuel and the others who were dining, Wolverine shouted sternly, "Before we start, irrelevant people can leave now."
Wolverine looked fierce, and Blob... made people know he wasn't easy to mess with at first glance. The guests in the restaurant left in a panic, and the service staff successively went into the back. Only the manager ran to Samuel with a joyful expression, looking at him expectantly.
Boss, renting out the whole place again!
Samuel smiled and waved his hand. Nicole Saint-Croix beside him skillfully handed over a briefcase. The manager skillfully took the briefcase and quickly ran towards the kitchen. While running, he was still thinking about the waiters peeking from the kitchen door and made a victory gesture.
What a speechless moment!
Wolverine looked at the restaurant that was empty in the blink of an eye and didn't react for a moment.
"He came to find me, I can understand." Samuel pointed at Wolverine, then pointed at Blob and Gambit, "What are you two here for?"
"Fred, I didn't do anything to you, did I? And you, Gambit, I spoke nicely to you, did you think I was easy to talk to?"
"They came to find me, and I couldn't defeat them, so I could only come with them to find you. But I'm not with them!" Gambit stood slightly to the side, as if indicating his stance.
Wolverine and Blob had no reaction. It looked like Gambit really wasn't with them.
But he didn't seem as wronged as he claimed. Not being able to defeat them might be true, but his stance definitely leaned more towards Wolverine and them. After all, based on the information they knew, his own persona leaned more towards a villain.
"I'm here to avenge Phantom, and partly for myself," Blob said in a deep voice.
Blob and Phantom had the best relationship. After the Mutant Squad disbanded, the other members had little contact with each other. Only the two of them always hung out together.
Phantom is dead?
Samuel curled his lip, "What does his death have to do with me? It wasn't me who killed him. What kind of revenge are you seeking from me!"
"You killed him!"
"Besides you, no one would kill him, and no one could so easily make his body disappear without a trace!"
...
Blob had a look of certainty.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"No, by the time I found out, you had already left."
"..."
Samuel shook his head speechlessly, glanced at Blob, then glanced at Wolverine, and finally looked at Gambit, "You're a bit smarter than them. You also know why I would kill Phantom, or rather, the reason for killing the Mutant Squad, and you are also clear about my strength."
"Do you think Phantom was killed by me?"
Gambit didn't expect Samuel to ask him. Originally, he also thought Phantom was killed by Samuel because Samuel had the motive and the strength. But now... he felt like there was something else hidden?
"You really have no brains. If I could find Phantom, would I not know that Fred and Phantom were together? Is there a difference to me between killing one Phantom compared to killing Fred along with him?"
"It's all just a wave of the hand!"
Samuel rolled his eyes at them contemptuously, "My goal is to kill all of the Mutant Squad, and you were together, and I have the ability to deal with you all together. As a result, I only killed Phantom and left, yet let you go. Do you think this is reasonable?"
Blob opened his mouth, somewhat speechless.
According to Samuel's statement, it really does seem a bit unreasonable. If the killer was someone else, they might deny it, or intentionally do this to clear their suspicion. But Samuel doesn't need to at all; with his strength, he doesn't need these superficial tricks at all.
But... if he didn't kill Phantom, then who killed Phantom?
