"Shall we start now?"
Little Goku grabbed Wolverine's hands, eager to try, because Wolverine's gesture of extending his hands didn't seem like an attack, so he didn't immediately retaliate.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a question at this moment, but a flying kick the instant he grabbed his hands.
"Goku, don't start anything. Wait until we're in a safe place, then Uncle Logan can duel with you."
Sarah quickly pulled Little Goku to her side, coaxing him like a child, afraid he and Logan would start fighting here.
On the way to pick up Wolverine, she had actually chatted with Little Goku a bit.
She learned that Little Goku had studied Martial Arts, was wandering around to find masters to duel, improve his fighting skills, and participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament three years later.
Although she had never heard of this World Martial Arts Tournament.
She thought it was probably just some boyish fantasy.
When she was little, watching TV, she used to fantasize about being a Magical Girl, destined to have a magic duel with a great evil villain and become the magic Queen.
Little Goku was probably similar, but he might have truly learned Martial Arts from some People Masters during his wanderings.
Coupled with Little Goku being a Mutant, with greatly enhanced physical abilities, it was even easier for him to get lost in his own fantasies.
If she had been a Mutant when she was little, possessing superpowers to control Fire and Water, she believed she would be no different from Little Goku now.
This kind of thing shouldn't be exposed, and exposing it is useless; he will naturally return to normal when he grows up.
He might even feel very ashamed thinking about it.
"Alright."
Little Goku nodded, a little disappointed.
From Grandpa Master Roshi, he had learned many principles of being a person; if the other party was unwilling, he would not force a sparring match. A martial artist must uphold martial virtue.
Of course, bad guys were an exception; fighting bad guys didn't require their consent.
"Mr. Logan, even without us, the Institute had already been watching you; they always knew your location.
I also got the intelligence that you were a driver in El Paso from the Institute.
Helping us is also helping yourself. I have thirty thousand U.S. dollars here, and if you safely deliver us to the North Dakota border, I can give you another twenty thousand."
Sarah quickly spoke all her thoughts.
She only had thirty thousand in total and was worried Wolverine would find it too little, which is why she mentioned giving another twenty thousand later.
"What did you say? What do you mean 'already been watched'? And what's this about the Institute?"
Wolverine's expression became serious.
He needed money, but he didn't want to earn this kind of troublesome money. What he cared about more was the phrase "already been watched."
Because this involved his and Professor X's safety, mainly Professor X's safety.
"Come inside, and I'll explain in detail."
Seeing that Wolverine was finally no longer in a hurry to leave, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and led Wolverine and Little Goku into the room.
At this moment, Little Wolf Girl Laura was quietly watching TV in the room.
"The situation is like this..."
Once inside the room, Sarah relayed all the information she knew.
"If you don't believe me, I also have a video here."
Next, she played the video she had secretly filmed at the Institute.
"Damn it, these big bad guys!"
Little Goku, who had also listened to Sarah's narration and watched the video, was so angry that the fur on his tail stood on end.
He thought the Red Ribbon Army, which transformed humans into Androids, was already bad enough, but he didn't expect this Institute to be even worse.
He had already decided that after escorting Aunt Sarah and them to their destination, he would return alone and destroy the Institute.
"We can't stay here anymore. Let's go to my place first."
Wolverine was silent for a while, his face constantly changing, and finally, he sighed.
Professor X had told him that he had sensed the emergence of new Mutants, but he didn't believe it at all, thinking it was just Professor X's senile dementia causing hallucinations.
Mutants were long gone, leaving only him, Professor X, and Caliban.
This was also one of the reasons for his inner despair; everyone else was dead, so why was he still alive?
Reason told him not to get involved, but his heart told him he couldn't just let it go, couldn't let those children be captured again.
Furthermore, his and Professor X's identities and locations had already been exposed, so they needed to move.
So he decided to take Sarah and the two others back to discuss with Professor X before making a decision.
When Professor X was lucid, his intelligence was still sharp.
"Good, let's go now!"
Sarah's eyes immediately lit up.
Although Wolverine hadn't immediately agreed, she already knew it was almost certain.
Indeed, human nature would not change; they were saved.
After a quick tidy-up, the three got into the luxurious extended limousine Wolverine had rented for passengers and left the motel.
Shortly after they left, the Commander arrived with a large force and surrounded the motel.
"Have you seen these three people?"
Taking a bottle of iced cola from the front desk refrigerator, the Commander looked at the trembling proprietress kneeling on the ground with a gun pointed at her head, asking with a smile.
A mercenary next to him opened a laptop and placed it in front of the proprietress, displaying photos of Sarah, Laura, and Little Goku.
"Yes, yes, I've seen them. They just left in an extended limousine."
"An extended limousine?"
The Commander raised an eyebrow and had the mercenary display a photo of Wolverine:
"Was he the driver?"
The proprietress immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"It was him, it was him."
"To not listen to my advice, Wolverine, you're looking for death!"
The Commander's face immediately turned cold upon hearing this.
"Kill them all. Leave no one alive."
Ordering the mercenaries to execute everyone in the motel, he went to a modified truck outside and reported the situation to Dr. Rice, who was sitting inside.
"In that case, let's deal with them all together. It's a good opportunity to test X-24."
One reason for not killing Wolverine and the senile Professor X was that if X-24 research was unsuccessful, Wolverine, as the original body, could still be used for research.
Now that X-24 research was successful, there was no longer any need for Wolverine to be alive.
Another reason was that HYDRA wouldn't let him touch Wolverine and Professor X.
However, since he had successfully developed X-24, a future army of Wolverine clones was within reach, so there was naturally no need to consider HYDRA's wishes anymore.
It should be known that Wolverine was his father's killer, and he had long wanted to get rid of Wolverine.
His father, Dale Rice, was formerly an subordinate of General Stryker and one of the Person in charge of the Weapon X project.
He died at the hands of Wolverine, who had just been injected with Adamantium.
And just as Dr. Rice decided to use Wolverine and Professor X to sharpen his X-24...
His highly trusted assistant next to him had already secretly taken out his phone and reported the situation here to his true superior.
He was a HYDRA spy embedded by Dr. Rice, codenamed "Stick Insect"...
