Chapter 382

Su Quan glanced at Storm, and Storm immediately sensed that her speech function had returned. She glared fiercely at Su Quan, then turned and walked towards the teaching building.

Su Quan shrugged at Jean Grey: "I'm not interested in Logan, and the professor knows most of what's going on with Logan, so I won't go."

"Okay." Jean Grey nodded and asked, "So what are you going to do? I mean, is there anything I can help you with?"

Su Quan asked with a smile, "If someone tries to poach a professor's girlfriend, will you help them too?"

"..."

Jean Grey gave an awkward smile; she had no way to respond to that.

"Go ahead and do your thing. I'll contact you if I need anything," Su Quan said understandingly.

Jean Grey breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and turned to catch up with Storm.

"Call out--"

Su Quan manipulated space and then disappeared.

Canada.

Inside the Alcalí Lake Dam, William Stryker's new base after the island base.

In the corridor, Su Quan, who had suddenly appeared, looked at the cold-faced woman in front of him and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"What a coincidence... we've found the person right away!"

The woman in front of me had a standard Asian face, her long hair was combed back and tied up in a very professional and capable manner, and she was wearing a tight black leather outfit that was very suitable for fighting. You could tell at a glance that she was not someone to mess with.

Yuriko Oyama, codename: Deathbird!

With a swift, thumping sound, the Deathbird's agile figure instantly brought her in front of Su Quan. A mocking smile appeared on her slightly upturned lips as she slapped him across the chin.

"Bang!"

Su Quan, who was hit, did not move his feet, but tilted his head slightly and raised the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner.

The Deathbird was taken aback, then instantly changed her tactics, launching a rapid and fierce attack with both hands, sometimes with fists and sometimes with palms.

Unlike the powerful and muscular Wolverine, Deathbird, despite her seemingly delicate body, possesses considerable strength. Her sharp moves are characterized by agility and speed, with her claw attacks being fast and ruthless, and her movements being agile and unpredictable, forming her own unique style!

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"

A series of rapid and fierce attacks made the Deathbird's expression increasingly ugly and serious.

"Bite!"

"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Self-Healing (Deathbird)"

The attack power is too weak; it can't even break through the defense, so there's no chance to experience the self-healing effect.

Su Quan dusted off his clothes, looked at the Deathbird who was retreating warily, and kindly reminded her, "Use your full strength, you can't kill me."

The Deathbird stared wide-eyed, opening her arms to extend her ten Adamantium claws.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and William Stryker, feigning urgency, ran out from behind the Deathbird, shouting for her to stop.

"Su, Su Quan? It really is you!" William Stryker bypassed the obedient Deathbird, excitedly approached Su Quan, and punched him hard in the face!

"Twenty years, you disappeared for a full twenty years. Do you know how I spent those twenty years?"

"I've been looking for you!"

Su Quan curled his lip. "Don't talk like I started something and then abandoned it. Besides, you're doing pretty well, aren't you? You have a new base and new Mutants..."

William Stryker grinned. "Don't tell me you want her? Twenty years have passed, and the first thing you want is my right-hand woman? Don't you think that's a bit much?"

"I don't think so!" Su Quan shook his head. "Remember? You owe me."

William Stryker: "I thought you were calling me to catch up, but it turns out you're here to collect a debt."

"Still?"

"Return!"

William Stryker said firmly, "I still remember the help you gave me back then, and I will definitely repay that favor! How about this, let me treat you well. You want Mutants, and she's probably not the only one, right? I have many targets here, you can take your time to choose."

He warmly put his arm around Su Quan's shoulder, ready to have a good get-together with him.

P. S.: Before I knew it, another book had surpassed one million words, hehehe.

In the private lounge, dishes were served one after another. William Stryker ordered the Deathbird to pour drinks for the two of them, then pointed to Su Quan: "Sit over there. Your job is to serve him well and keep him satisfied."

"Yes."

The Deathbird obediently sat down next to Su Quan.

Su Quan jokingly remarked casually, "They've been trained to be very obedient. Introduce them?"

William Stryker raised his glass in acknowledgment, drank with Su Quan, and then slowly began to introduce himself while the Deathbird poured the wine.

"Her name is Yuriko Oyama. Her father was a member of my lab and died in the experiment that modified Wolverine. In order to avenge Wolverine, she underwent my modification experiment and gained the same self-healing ability and Adamantium skeleton as Wolverine."

"She has more steel claws than Wolverine, and I believe she is stronger than Wolverine. It's just that we haven't been able to find Wolverine's whereabouts for so many years, so we haven't been able to prove who is stronger!"

Su Quan said with a smile, "You really can't forget Wolverine. By the way, how's your son doing?"

William Stryker's expression darkened, and he shook his head, saying in a deep voice, "His condition is getting worse and worse; he's basically frozen in place year-round. Perhaps... this is fate!"

He raised his glass to Su Quan, clinked it together, and downed it in one gulp. Composing himself, he asked with a smile, "And you? Where have you been all these years? Are Kayla and the others doing well?"

"Where else can I go? I'll just look for Mutants I like. Kayla and the others are pretty good too, but..." Su Quan patted Deathbird and said with a smile, "You know, that's all I'm after."

William Stryker had no doubt about Su Quan's pursuit of this. After all, given Su Quan's strength, if he really had other pursuits, such as power and status, or overthrowing human rule, he might not be unable to do them.

Therefore, he never considered Su Quan as a threat like Professor X or Magneto.

Why resort to violence and exhaustion when a woman can solve the problem?

William Stryker flashed a knowing smile, offering him a drink while recounting the surprises he had prepared for him over the years.

First, there's Yuriko Oyama. Although she's his assistant, he never overstepped his bounds in any way.

He valued Yuriko Oyama's abilities, not that matter!

Secondly, there are the Mutants he has captured over the years. By his standards, many of these Mutants would not meet his criteria, but they would definitely meet Su Quan's standards.

Ability may be weak, but physique and appearance absolutely cannot be lacking!

The two clinked glasses and chatted as they drank, and before long, several bottles of strong liquor were empty.

William Stryker's face was flushed, his eyes were glazed, and he began to speak incoherently and unclearly.

Su Quan wasn't much better; not only did he ask for drinks, but he also shamelessly embraced the Deathbird.

"Let's stop drinking here for today. Drinking is something you can do anytime. I'll take you to open your presents," William Stryker said with a flourish.

Su Quan's eyes lit up immediately. "Is it your gift or mine?"

"Of course it's a gift for you!"

"That's enough, that's more than enough!" Su Quan's arm flew off his body with a snap and slapped William Stryker's shoulder hard.

What the hell is this?

William Stryker jolted awake, almost sobering up instantly.

"You, your hand..."

"Don't be afraid. You're such a good friend, it wouldn't be right not to pat you a few times. Although my brain is a little drunk and confused, my hands have their own ideas."

Su Quan withdrew his arm and stood up unsteadily. "Come on, let's open the gifts. If the gifts satisfy me, I... I'll give you a gift too!"

William Stryker smiled and shook his head, "Your coming to see me is the best gift."

He stood up and led the way.

The Deathbird supported Su Quan, swaying as she followed behind.

After walking for a short while, they arrived at a cell that resembled a laboratory. Inside the cell was a row of Cryo-Chamber, but the air conditioning in the Cryo-Chamber was not turned on, and the people locked inside were in a deep coma.

"Go arrange the rooms." William Stryker waved the Deathbird away, then pulled Su Quan to the front of the Cryo-Chamber and began to introduce them one by one.

The first one.

"Her name is Heather Cameron, codename Lifeguard. I found her in Australia when she was working as a lifeguard on the beach. She has the ability to Danger Detection Response, and can automatically switch to the corresponding superpower when she or someone around her is in danger."

The second one.

"Hisako Ichiki, codenamed Armor, is an armor that can create a supernatural force field around her body."

The third one.

"Her name is Megan Guin, codename Little Fairy, she has a pair of butterfly wings, can fly, and scatters illusionary dust."

The fourth one.

"Jenny Mary Bobby, codenamed Aurora, possesses superhuman speed and flight ability. She also has a twin brother, but he is dead."

The fifth one.

"Amara Aquila, codename Magma, can control geological movements, create earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, manipulate lava, and become magma herself. She can also melt nearby rocks or spew hot magma around her."
