Big Slap Technique (Second Update)

The next day, Wolverine was perched on the second-floor window of the old house when he saw Mariko returning from grocery shopping in the distance. He smiled and waved to her.

"You're back, Mariko."

Mariko waved politely over there.

However, at that moment, a van suddenly stopped next to Mariko, and two men dressed in traditional ninja attire rushed out of the van, knocked Mariko, and dragged her into the van.

He then tossed a piece of paper aside and walked away.

Upon seeing this, Wolverine jumped down from the second floor and rushed over, but unfortunately, by the time he arrived, the van was already gone.

I picked up the piece of paper from the ground; it had an address written on it.

"She's fine, let's go!"

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky; it was none other than Hawking, who had been monitoring the town.

He glanced at the address on the paper, then took Wolverine and flew into the X-Jet, which was in stealth mode in mid-air.

"Don't worry, Mariko won't lose you."

Seeing Wolverine enter the fighter jet, Deathstrike curled her lip and accelerated towards the van below.

Given the speed of the X-Jet, tracking a van would be a piece of cake, especially since Mariko was carrying a tracker, making it even less likely that she would lose track of it.

"I only see her as my daughter, nothing more."

Wolverine quickly explained.

He truly had no Mariko.

"No way, Logan, you're playing a bit too weird."

Hawking patted Wolverine on the shoulder and started making suggestive remarks with his eyes.

Actually, he didn't think Wolverine was lying.

In the original storyline, Wolverine killed Phoenix with his own hands and was plagued by inner demons, so he went into seclusion in the mountains and lived with bears. Later, he was healed by Mariko in the town, which led to their relationship.

But it was only a one-night stand; afterwards, they went their separate ways and lived their own lives.

But Wolverine's Mind Stone wasn't hurt yet, and he simply helped Mariko. He encountered Hawking, Deathstrike, and Yukio as soon as he arrived in town, and nothing really happened.

So now Wolverine might actually just see Mariko as a little girl, just like he did with Rogue back then.

However, if Rogue hadn't gone to the Mutant School with Wolverine, and Wolverine hadn't met Phoenix, then perhaps something might have happened between them.

"You."

Wolverine raised his right hand, extending his Adamantium Claws toward Hawking, then slowly retracted the other claws, leaving only the middle one.

Hawking shrugged indifferently.

At the Mutant School, he was closest to Wolverine. Whenever he didn't want to train and wanted to relax, he would go to Wolverine for drinks and chats.

So it's common for the two of them to joke around with each other.

About two hours later, the van stopped at the entrance of a village hidden in the Yamanaka.

The car door opened, and Mariko, now awake, angrily questioned the leading ninja:

"Jian Ichiro, why did you bring me here? What is your purpose?"

Harada Kenichiro the current leader of a ninja clan that has protected the Yashida Family for seven hundred years, and one of her childhood playmates.

He was responsible for protecting her safety, as instructed by her grandfather.

Yesterday at her grandfather's funeral, when she was being chased by her father and fiancé's men, Harada Kenichiro also stopped many of the assassins. Otherwise, she and Logan, whose healing ability was suppressed, would not have been able to escape the encirclement so easily.

"Mariko, I can't tell you right now, but I won't hurt you, you can trust me."

Jian Ichiro gritted his teeth, forcibly pulled Mariko out of the car, and walked towards the small hill at the end of the village.

Halfway down the mountain, there was a seven-story secret research institute.

However, before they had taken more than a few steps, an airplane suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slowly descended.

"Not good!"

How could Jian Ichiro not recognize the famous X-Jet?

He pulled a wooden whistle from his pocket and blew it hard. Hundreds of masked men in black, armed with various weapons, quickly appeared on the rooftop.

The fighter jet landed smoothly, the cabin door opened, and Hawking, Logan, Deathstrike, and Yukio stepped out together.

"Looks like this is the place."

Looking at the research institute in the distance, Hawking knew he had found the right place.

"Let go of Mariko!"

Logan forward and brandished his Adamantium Claws.

Jian Ichiro glanced at the four people and, seeing that there were only two more, breathed a sigh of relief.

Logan is nominally Super Hero belonging to the Heroes Alliance Company. Although he rarely appears on screen, if they know that Logan is in trouble, they might send a whole bunch of Super Hero to help him. They would be no match for him.

Fortunately, it seems that only two have arrived, and neither of them are the kind of guys he thought he should be wary of.

With his skills and the village's elite troops, they were more than capable of handling the situation.

"Take the young lady to the research institute."

He gave an order to the ninja beside him, Jian Ichiro drew the long sword from his back:

"Logan, you'd better just give up and fight back, otherwise not only you, but all your friends will suffer too."

Every ninja in the village is an elite among elites; each one individually is no less than a top-tier assassin.

Over the years, anyone who has opposed the Yashida Family, no matter who they are, has died in their assassinations.

The Yashida Family owes much to their development into the leading family they are today.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Mariko struggled as she was being forced towards the research institute, but even with her decent swordsmanship skills, she was no match for these ninjas who had undergone grueling training.

"I said, let her go!"

Logan roared and charged forward, with Yukio drawing her sword and following closely behind.

However, although Harada Kenichiro was not Mutants, his strength was quite formidable.

Besides possessing extremely high swordsmanship skills, his fighting techniques and knife skills were also superb, and for a time he actually suppressed Wolverine.

Yukio tried to help, but was blocked by a ninja who jumped down from the roof.

"Call out!"

Seeing that Mariko had been dragged away by the two ninjas, a Kunai suddenly shot out from Hawking's hand and landed right in front of the two ninjas, causing them to stop in their tracks.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Hawking's figure flashed and appeared where the Kunai was stuck.

"The Big Slap Technique!"

With a swift movement to the left and right, the two ninjas holding Mariko were sent flying like cannonballs, crashing into the houses on both sides of the street.

He reached out and put his arm around Mariko's slender waist, and in a flash, he brought Mariko back to their starting position.

At that moment, something new appeared in Mariko's eyes as she looked at Hawking.

"Attack together!"

On the other side, due to Wolverine's damage-ignoring fighting style, Jian Ichiro eventually lost in the one-on-one fight. In addition, Deathstrike stepped forward to help Yukio kill the ninja, and Hawking rescued Mariko.

So Jian Ichiro stopped being arrogant and instead waved his hand, ordering all the ninjas to form a battle formation and gang up on him.
