Logan: Your money has moved me

"Two people waiting to die!"

Lin Xu stood outside the abandoned factory, sensing the two emanating stench of decay within.

Moreover, the mental strength of one of them made even a god like him feel uneasy.

The factory's signboard was lying on the roadside; upon closer inspection...

It's actually in both Chinese and English.

[Magic City Jackman Food Factory, South Dakota Branch]

In an abandoned factory in America, lives a powerful mentalist who is nearing the end of his life.

After several deep memory explorations, Lin Xu immediately knew where he was.

Logan...

Bang~

While Lin Xu was still thinking, a bullet hit two meters away from his feet.

"Hey, this is private property, please leave immediately!"

Standing at the entrance of the inner factory was a man completely wrapped up, holding a sprayer. Although he spoke harshly, his hand was trembling.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Caliban, a Mutants who can smell the scent of Mutants."

"... Who are you?"

"Logan's friend."

"... He's not here, you should go find him directly!"

The Eye of Agamotto suddenly started burning hot again without warning.

Lin Xu sensed the spiritual energy of the person inside the room surging towards him, but before it could make contact with the target, it was repelled.

"Charles, that's a bit rude of you!"

He knew Charles meant no harm and just wanted to communicate with him, but he couldn't let Charles was already suffering from dementia, see what was in his mind, or he would die prematurely.

Upon hearing this, Caliban instantly turned to look at the water room at the back of the factory, a sense of horror washing over him.

Charles took action—no, he used his brain—but clearly, he failed!

Caliban's hand holding the gun trembled even more.

Buzz~

Just then, the roar of a car engine came from afar. Caliban twitched his nose, and his eyes instantly brightened.

It's Logan!

The elderly Logan drove a stretched, secondhand luxury car slowly toward the factory.

His feelings were complicated at that moment.

Many years ago, the government invented the Sentinels, leading to the Carnage of Mutants. Desperate, he chose to travel back to the 1970s and reverse time. (X-Men: Days of Future Past)

He succeeded!

The government's attitude towards Mutants changed during that period, the Sentinel Program was shelved, and he created a completely new future.

Meanwhile, Stryker found the body that had been unconscious at the bottom of the river, and the injection of Adamantium was not avoided. (In the movie Stryker seems to be Raven in disguise, but I am the author, and I have the final say.)

But he also failed.

Government officials are never static; decades later, new left-wing officials still view Mutants a threat.

The Sentinel Program was discontinued, but an X-Gene suppressor toxin emerged. This toxin was harmless to ordinary people, but deadly to Mutants.

The government authorities put the toxin into all drinking water, and the unsuspecting Mutants were almost completely wiped out.

By 2028, fewer than one hundred Mutants will remain in the world.

Last year, Charles lost control, and the nervous systems of Beast, Magneto, Rogue, and others were directly destroyed.

At this point, only he and Charles remained of the X-Men.

As for himself, affected by the gene toxin, his self-healing ability began to decline, and the Adamantium toxin that used to be able to achieve a balance with the Healing Factor began to erupt in his body.

Pain accompanied him every second!

Moreover, what he didn't know was...

One-way time is irreversible. Although he forcibly reversed it with his extraordinary luck, the universe's Anchor also locked him in place. His death would accelerate the universe's destruction in a very short time!

Now, all he wants is to save enough money to buy a boat, and after he outlives Charles, he'll end his own life with an Adamantium bullet.

After all, everyone he cared about in this world was dead!

Logan stopped the car and got out, carrying the medicine he had bought for Charles.

He saw Lin Xu, and he also saw Caliban with a gun.

Who is this guy?

"Logan, he said he's your friend..."

"I... have no friends."

Logan walked towards the inner factory, not stopping as he passed Lin Xu, simply saying, "Since you know me, you should know my capabilities. Leave before I get angry!"

Lin Xu watched as the 1.8-meter- Hugh Jackman, exuding an aura of decay, passed by him, and this time he didn't try to stop him.

Although he had a way to save him, he knew it was pointless; Logan's nearly two-hundred-year life was coming to an end.

Death was his final destination.

However, the manner of death should not be like the original, being impaled on a tree stump by a clone, how pathetic!

"Are you taking orders now? Take me to the city center."

"No time!"

"I know you're going to give Charles his medication. I'll wait for you."

"I already said I'm busy..."

"One hundred thousand, in cash!"

Logan stopped, turned around, and carefully examined Lin Xu's skin tone.

"It's only about ten miles from here to the city center. Are you sure it's not Japanese yen or Korean won?"

Who the hell are you cursing?

Lin Xu rolled his eyes, reached into the Sub-Dimension and took out a bundle of US dollars. This was his salary as a butler in Stark. Of course, this was all the cash he had; the rest he had exchanged for gold.

After all, he's been to so many places. The old banknotes from 1991 are only accepted in America; other countries generally refuse to accept them.

Looking at the bundle of knives, Logan was tempted. That money was enough to buy a boat, and he wouldn't have to work so hard driving for ride-hailing services and have to deal with those fat women taking advantage of him.

"Give me ten minutes!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Time Variance Authority

Loki slumped into a chair and rubbed his temples.

Which universe is it this time?

"XM. DFP09."

"The Logan Anchor Universe, destined for destruction?"

"Yes!"

Loki finally breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving an affirmative answer, though he didn't know why the man had come back after he had just sent him away.

But Loki was certain that it was his uncle's doing again; otherwise, what a coincidence!

Fortunately, this universe itself is destined for destruction.

What should we do?

"What to do? I fucking know what to do! They're more senior than me, more powerful than me, what can I do?"

Loki got angry and...

"Alright, I remember that Paradoxes govern the cosmic branches with time anomalies, so let's leave it to him."

"Paradox? His work performance hasn't been great lately."

What's wrong with Paradoxes?

"He's been a bit too pessimistic lately... and there's been an unusual amount of material loss on his end lately; the extra material could be used to build a Time Ripper." (Deadpool & Wolverine)

"Then keep a close eye on him. I'm a bit tired and want to be alone!"

To be honest, the X-Men timeline was the last thing he wanted to deal with.

Aside from those illogical superpowers, the most important thing is that a certain creator god, for the sake of a certain gossipy person, has frantically left incarnations in these universes.

Vanessa...

He can't afford to offend him...
