Loose Ends and the Return

"All right, I'll let you go. Get out!"

At the white man's pleading, Lin Xu's lips curled up, revealing his "generous" side.

"Thank you, thank you!" The white man could hardly believe his ears. Once he heard him clearly, he scrambled out, terrified that Lin Xu would change his mind.

The remaining Black man still had a shotgun in his hands. Seeing this, he froze.

You should've said so sooner. If you had, I wouldn't have fought you so hard...

"Ahem, um..."

"It's fine. You can go too."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Without another word, the Black man slung the gun over his shoulder and left. All three had completely forgotten that this was their own base.

Lin Xu hadn't been joking about letting the two men go. When it came to killing, it was best to have someone else do it.

After all, there was still someone waiting outside!

He went to the window and saw the woman place a hand on the white man's shoulder and whisper something.

The white man immediately turned around, his face blank, and looked at the Black man coming out the door.

"Boss, quick! Get in the car... Who's she?"

"It's fine. She's a friend of mine." The white man remained expressionless. If the Banana Person who had already died had been facing him, he might have noticed something was wrong, but the Black man was too simple-minded.

"Oh! Let's hurry and get out of here. If he changes his mind, we won't be able to leave. By the way, where's Yellow? Why isn't he... Uh... Hrk... Why?"

"I dunno!" The white man pulled out the dagger and plunged it into his own throat.

Thud~

Only when the intense pain and suffocation hit him did the white man finally break free of the control. Lying on the ground, he reached toward the building where Lin Xu was with the last of his strength.

"Help..."

The woman stood where she was, her face sorrowful.

If Stryker hadn't captured her younger sister Emma Frost, and if these people hadn't been so bad, she would never have done such a thing.

That was right. She was Wolverine's supposedly "dead" girlfriend, Silver Fox, Sif, who went by the alias Kara—a psychic Mutant who could control others through touch.

Once both men on the ground had stopped breathing, Kara looked up at Lin Xu in the window. "This has nothing to do with you. I'm only killing them!"

"I know!"

"Forget what happened today."

"Can't do that~" Lin Xu shook his head, his eyes full of teasing. "Logan should be very interested in this."

"You..." Kara's eyes widened, a little excited and a little worried. "How... is he?"

All she knew was that Logan had escaped after Stryker experimented on him, and that their base here was being evacuated as a result. Stryker wouldn't tell her where Logan had gone.

But she hadn't expected the man in front of her to know Logan.

"Logan? He ran off with a man~"

Kara: ???

Lin Xu put the scattered dollars back in the wallet and tucked away the driver's license and everything else before walking out of the building.

Lin Xu looked at the corpses on the ground, then at the "wild" cattle and sheep in the distance. He had only four days left before he had to leave this universe. He couldn't eat them all. What a shame...

But there was still one thing to do...

That was to pull the weeds up by the roots!!

Before Kara's astonished eyes, a portal to the fishing tackle shop opened. Tom Chen and the driver who had just brought Lin Xu over were leaning against the counter, smoking.

Perfect. Both of them were there, saving him another trip.

Bang~ Crack~ Bang~

Without wasting words, he picked up the shotgun from the ground and fired twice, sending them straight on their way through the portal.

"Wait for me."

After a moment's thought, Lin Xu said this to Kara and stepped through the portal.

When he came back out, he had a full set of fishing tackle and bait in his hands. He was determined to catch a fish!

Having finished everything, Lin Xu turned around and found Kara still staring blankly at the portal. His eyes shifted, and he slipped behind her...

Sneak attack!!

"Ah!"

"It's fine, just a hair."

He closed the portal to the fishing tackle shop. Blood Pact Tracking, stage two, begin!

A new portal opened, a portal leading to Emma Frost.

"Emma??"

"Sis!!"

Ignoring the sisters' heartfelt reunion, Lin Xu heard the alarm go off in the prison and looked down at his own slender frame.

Forget it. Better to play it safe. Who knew whether this universe had Mutants capable of threatening him? What if there were?

With that thought, he pulled out his wallet, took a hair from an inner compartment, and repeated the trick. Blood Pact Tracking, stage three!

A new portal opened directly opposite the old one, a portal leading to Logan.

After a night of travel, Logan and Victor had arrived in Las Vegas. They planned to force their way onto Devil's Island a day later.

But that was life. Plans could never keep up with changes~

Through the two portals, Logan saw Kara embracing Emma Frost. Ignoring Lin Xu and Victor beside him, he walked straight over, dumbstruck.

"Kara, why?" Logan's face was full of anguish!

"Logan, let me explain!" Guilt showed on Kara's face.

"Sis, who's he? Is he my brother-in-law?" Emma Frost's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"Jimmy, what are you doing?" Only Victor, the brother-obsessed one, didn't fit in, jealousy rising in him...

Lin Xu: ...

Do the four of you want to take a look at what's happening right now...?

Nearby guards had heard the alarm and were already rushing over, but Emma Frost showed no intention of leaving. She looked at the other Mutants imprisoned around her. "Sis, I can't leave them behind!"

"Logan..." Kara looked at Logan again.

This time, Logan finally remembered his brother.

"Victor, didn't you want to fight alongside me? How about now?"

"Sure..." Victor finally smiled!

Lin Xu just rolled his eyes speechlessly. What a complicated relationship. Once everyone had crossed over, he closed the portal.

Fight away. Things are happening ahead of schedule now. Wade Wilson is still lying on the operating table, and Deadpool hasn't been born yet. Those two brothers can wipe out everyone on Devil's Island all by themselves.

"I really am a good person..."

Over the next few days, Lin Xu found a nearby stretch of water where people rarely ventured and spent several days fishing without catching a thing. When he had nothing else to do, he would grab a lamb from the ranch.

He continued converting divine power for three hours every day, and his physical abilities were also growing rapidly. Now, his raw physical strength was around ten tons, and he could cover a hundred meters in just six seconds!

In terms of stats, he had already surpassed Captain America and was closing in on Failure-Man!

On the fifth day, the day he had agreed with Agamotto to return, Lin Xu got up early. To thank the ranch for feeding him during his stay, he released all the livestock into the river valley where Old Sam's farm was located. Grass and water were plentiful there, so there was no need to worry about them starving.

Around noon, a sense of rejection came over him. Lin Xu knew Agamotto was about to send him away!

Great, I can go back to being a capitalist again...
