Chapter 356
First, the commotion caused by the Gambit was not significant, and no one specifically mentioned it afterward.
Secondly, Su Quan had special privileges within the Mutants team and the base, meaning he didn't participate in every mission. Moreover, his mind was likely focused on Kayla at the time, so it's understandable that he didn't know.
Having already acquired the ability, burying it in the ground serves as a lesson. Su Quan stood up, told the Gambit to take care of himself, and then led everyone away from the restaurant.
Gambit doesn't want to cause trouble or get involved in anything related to Stryker, but trouble still finds him.
Before long, the modified Wolverine will find him and, with his help, seek revenge on Stryker!
One reason Su Quan collaborated with Stryker on the project of modifying Wolverine was that he wanted to re-enhance Wolverine's bone spike abilities.
Originally, the bone spike ability only generated bone spikes, but after Wolverine's transformation, the bone spikes turned into Adamantium claws.
What can I gain from watching it again?
Is it Adamantium claw that is an equipment-type weapon, or does it overwrite the original ability to turn bone spikes into steel claws?
"Ring ring ring... Ring ring ring..."
The landline on the bedside table suddenly rang, and a jade-like arm reached out and picked up the receiver.
Big Raven, still half-asleep, shielded her eyes from the scorching sunlight streaming in from the window and asked in a low voice about the other person's identity and purpose.
The other party seemed surprised that a woman would answer the phone, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This is Stryker, I'm looking for Su Quan."
"Hold on."
Big Raven instantly regained her senses and whispered to wake Su Quan.
"I am Su Quan."
Upon hearing Su Quan's voice, William Stryker on the other end said angrily, "The modification experiment was a great success, but the target escaped!"
"What's the point of telling me he ran away? I'm not his father! And why did you wake me up so early in the morning just to tell me you messed up?"
"..."
William Stryker was already in a bad mood, almost lost his temper when he heard Su Quan's irritating question.
But he ultimately held back!
If he wanted to continue leading the X-Weapon Project, he had to prove himself and gain the support of those above him, so he invited many bigwigs to watch Wolverine's transformation process.
The process was full of twists and turns, but the result was very gratifying.
Wolverine held on! The transformation was a success!
Just as William Stryker was preparing to brainwash Wolverine and turn him into a weapon that would obey his orders, Wolverine woke up.
Then...
They got away!
With him running away, William Stryker was in a bind. He could only promise the bigwigs that he would bring him back as soon as possible, or simply destroy him!
Some things are easier said than done!
What will he use to catch Wolverine?
What can be used to destroy Wolverine?
Sabretooth?
Sabretooth was indeed stronger than Wolverine in the past, but after Wolverine's modifications, his entire skeleton was infused with Adamantium, and steel claws replaced bone spikes. What could Sabretooth possibly use to fight him?!
William Stryker's only reliance was Su Quan, and he only had Su Quan, so even if Su Quan scolded him harshly, he could only endure it!
"He's very strong right now!"
"Only you have the ability to help me bring him back."
William Stryker stated his purpose in a somewhat humble tone.
Su Quan chuckled and said, "Our cooperation has actually come to an end."
William Stryker frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
"Do you remember what I said when I asked you to cooperate? I'll help you continue with the original plan, and I can choose any Mutants you capture."
"Now I have carried out the plan as promised, and he has been successfully transformed by you."
"His escape is your incompetence, it has nothing to do with our cooperation."
Su Quan's words were well-founded, leaving William Stryker speechless, but he wouldn't let it go so easily.
"I've always been good to you, haven't I? Our cooperation has always been very pleasant. I think we can continue to cooperate. What are your conditions?"
Su Quan said with a smile, "What I want are just Mutants that interest me."
William Stryker said decisively, "I'll immediately have someone find a new Mutants, guaranteed to be young and beautiful, how about that?"
Su Quan said, "That's not enough. I need some more Adamantium."
"Can."
William Stryker agreed.
While Adamantium is important, it's not as valuable as Wolverine. If Wolverine is successfully brainwashed, and Wade combines multiple abilities, as long as they can defeat Su Quan, they can recoup their current investment in the future.
If we can't win...
He has also established an excellent working relationship with Su Quan, which he can use as a trump card, playing a crucial role at critical moments.
You're not losing out either way!
"Wait here, I'll come find you in a bit."
Su Quan handed the receiver to Big Raven and told her to hang up the phone.
Whether or not Su Quan captures Wolverine is irrelevant; Wolverine will definitely retaliate against William Stryker anyway.
Rather than having him find Gambit through the ghosts and the Blob, and then reach William Stryker's base through Gambit.
It would be better to just arrest him and send him there ourselves.
Oh right, I almost forgot, Professor X is also involved here.
It was Gambit notified Professor X, which is why Professor X appeared there and took away the Mutants who had been rescued by Wolverine.
Should we go and meet Professor X from this timeline?
Su Quan thought about it and gave up the idea.
Although he wasn't interested in the Mutants William Stryker had, there was no need for him to let Professor X benefit from them for nothing.
The reason we didn't target them before was because we were planning to use a strategy of feigning one move while secretly making another, so we chose the best option and only rescued Kayla and the other three.
He has now changed course and broken away from William Stryker's influence.
Even if we take them all in, it won't affect our plans to continue searching for Mutants using William Stryker.
As for their abilities, Su Quan didn't care.
It's good if it can play a role and provide value, but even if it can't, there's no loss.
In any case, whether it's the Void Island or the future return to Madripoor in the Marvel Mainstream Universe, a large number of people will be needed.
After getting up, washing up, and leisurely eating breakfast, Su Quan went to see William Stryker.
"Call out--"
A figure flickered.
William Stryker, who had been anxiously waiting in his office, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Su Quan.
"You've finally arrived!"
Su Quan chuckled, "Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? Even if I bring Wolverine back now, are you sure you can subdue him?"
William Stryker was taken aback. Something about what you're saying doesn't sound right to me.
"With you here, he can't cause any trouble."
Su Quan shook his head. "Let me make this clear from the start: I'm only responsible for bringing Wolverine back. You'll have to handle the rest yourself. I won't interfere."
William Stryker widened his eyes and said somewhat angrily, "Are you helping me or him by doing this?"
Without Su Quan's intervention, how can this be considered capturing Wolverine and brainwashing him?
This is clearly an airdrop delivered right to our doorstep, a direct assault on our predicament!
Su Quan said with a smile, "I can help you if you want, but that's for a different price!"
"..."
William Stryker gritted his teeth and said with a stern face, "What else do you want!"
Su Quan smiled wryly, then said with a half-smile, "What I want, you can't afford!"
"Tell me, I'm curious what it is," William Stryker said.
Su Quan curled his lips. "Enough of this nonsense. Anyway, once I capture Wolverine, I won't care about anything else. You either need to be prepared, or wait for Wade's transformation to finish so that Wade can deal with Wolverine."
"With Wade's improved abilities, Wolverine might not necessarily win in a one-on-one fight!"
Su Quan spoke casually, but William Stryker dared not speak casually at all!
