In the private lounge, dishes of delicious food were brought to the table.
William Stryker ordered Death Woman to pour wine for them, then pointed at Samuel: "Sit over there, Your task is to serve him well and make him satisfied."
"Yes."
Death Woman obediently sat down beside Samuel.
Samuel joked naturally: "You've trained her to be very obedient, introduce her?"
William Stryker raised his glass as a gesture and drank with Samuel, then slowly began to introduce her while Death Woman poured the wine.
"Her name is Koyama Yuriko.
Her Father was a member of my laboratory and died in the experiment to modify Wolverine.
To get revenge on Wolverine, she accepted my modification experiment and gained the same Self-healing and Adamantium skeleton as Wolverine."
"She has more steel claws than Wolverine, and I believe her strength is greater than Wolverine's, but for so many years, I haven't been able to find Wolverine's whereabouts, so I haven't been able to prove who is stronger!"
Samuel said with a smile: "You really can't forget about Wolverine.
By the way, how is Your son doing?"
William Stryker's expression darkened, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "His condition is getting worse and worse, basically in a state of perpetual freezing.
Perhaps... this is fate!"
He raised his glass and clinked it with Samuel's, then drank it all.
After that, he cheered up and asked with a smile: "What about You, where have You been all these years?
Are Keira and the others doing well?"
"Where else could I go, just looking for Mutants I like everywhere.
Keira and the others are also doing quite well, it's just..."
Samuel patted Death Woman and said with a smile: "You know, this is my only pursuit."
Regarding Samuel's pursuit, William Stryker was convinced.
After all, with Samuel's strength, if he really had other pursuits, such as power and status, or overthrowing human rule, he might not be unable to do it, and might not fail.
Therefore, he never considered Samuel a threat like Professor X and Magneto.
Why bother with swords and guns and rack your brains for problems that can be solved with women?
William Stryker showed a smile that all men understand, while urging him to drink, he also talked about the surprises he had prepared for him over the years.
First is Koyama Yuriko.
Although she was his assistant, he had never done anything inappropriate towards her.
What he valued was Koyama Yuriko's ability, not that kind of thing!
Secondly, the Mutants caught over the years.
By his standards, many of these Mutants were unqualified, but they would definitely meet Samuel's standards.
Their abilities could be weak, but their figure and appearance absolutely could not be low!
The two clinked glasses and chatted while drinking.
Before long, several bottles of high-proof liquor were empty.
William Stryker's face was flushed, his eyes were hazy, and he started talking nonsense and slurring his words.
Samuel wasn't much better off.
Not only did he actively ask for drinks, but he also unrestrainedly put his arm around Death Woman.
"Let's stop drinking here today.
Drinking can be done anytime.
I'll take You to open Your gift," William Stryker said with a slurred tongue.
Samuel's eyes immediately lit up: "Is it Your gift or my gift?"
"Of course it's Your gift!"
"Enough, You're generous!"
Samuel's arm suddenly flew off his body with a 'click' and vigorously patted William Stryker's shoulder.
This, what the hell is this?
William Stryker was startled, almost instantly sobering up.
"You, Your hand..."
"Don't be afraid, You're so generous, it wouldn't be fitting if I didn't pat You a few times.
Although my brain is a bit drunk and hazy, my hand has its own ideas."
Samuel retracted his arm, swayed, and stood up: "Let's go, let's open the gift.
If the gift satisfies me, I... I also have a gift for You!"
William Stryker smiled and shook his head: "You coming to find me is the best gift."
He got up and led the way.
Death Woman supported Samuel and followed behind, swaying.
They didn't walk long before arriving at a prison-like laboratory.
Inside the prison were rows of cryogenic pods, but the cooling wasn't turned on, and the people inside were in a state of deep sleep.
"Go arrange rooms."
William Stryker waved Death Woman away, then pulled Samuel to the front of the cryogenic pods and began introducing them one by one.
The first one.
"Her name is Heather Cameron, codename Lifeguard.
I found her in Australia, she was working as a Lifeguard on the beach at the time.
She has the ability of danger detection and response.
When she or people around her are in mortal danger, she can automatically switch to corresponding superpowers."
The second one.
"Her name is Hisako Ichiki, codename Armor.
She can create an Armor of supernatural force fields around her body."
The third one.
"Her name is Megan Gwynn, codename Little Elf.
She has a pair of butterfly wings, can Flight, and can scatter dust that creates illusions."
The fourth one.
"Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, codename Aurora.
She possesses rapid movement and super-fast Flight speed.
She also had a twin brother, but he has passed away."
The fifth one.
"Amara Aquilla, codename Magma.
She can control geological activity, create earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, manipulate lava, and turn her whole body into Magma.
She can also melt nearby rocks or spray hot Magma around."
Sixth.
"Angelica Jones, codenamed Flame Star, can utilize electromagnetic energy and convert it into microwave energy, which she can manipulate and use in various ways."
Seventh.
"Tabitha Smith, codenamed Little Longlong, can create energy bombs."
"These seven female Mutants are the gifts I specifically collected for you over the years. How about it? Are you satisfied?" William Stryker asked Samuel smugly.
"Remove the 'are you'!'
"I couldn't be more satisfied!"
What else could Samuel say? He could only say that the decision to keep William Stryker and cooperate with him back then was absolutely correct!
Although these seven Mutants didn't appear in the movies, they all have names and significant achievements in the comics.
It's just...
If memory serves, they seem to be members of the X-Men. The Professor is practically bald from the stress.
Uh, the Professor seems to be bald already.
Besides this, the abilities of these seven Mutants are also quite impressive.
Lifeguard's ability is somewhat similar to Darwin's; she can automatically generate abilities to cope with crises.
Armor seems to have appeared in the anime; her supernatural force field armor is quite remarkable, equivalent to a Mutant version of Susanoo.
Little Elf is similar to Angel Salvadore; while her ability isn't outstanding, her appearance is much better than Angel Salvadore's.
Aurora is a Speedster who can run and fly. According to the comic's setting, special molecules in her body make her skin exceptionally tough. Theoretically, she can reach 299,776 kilometers per second in a vacuum, which is 99% of the speed of light.
Of course, that's just theoretically.
Affected by factors such as breathing, physical strength, and air friction, she might not actually be able to reach 99% of the speed of light.
Even so, her speed is much faster than Nightcrawler's, who doesn't have the Speed Force.
