Rorschach Makes His Move

"Something similar, you can understand it that way."

Erik thought for a moment and then nodded.

He hadn't figured out Bradley's basic attitude yet, so he naturally wouldn't spill everything right away.

"I'm sorry, I don't think we have anything to discuss. Please leave!"

Bradley, who had been relatively polite, suddenly stood up and coldly ordered the two of them out.

"Mr. Bradley, it might be better to hear me out before making a decision." Erik tried to salvage the situation.

"No need. I'm sorry to have made you both make a wasted trip."

But Bradley's attitude remained firm.

Erik didn't say anything more. He exchanged a look with Rorschach beside him, and then they both stood up.

They intended to leave.

Since the other party wasn't receptive, why should they try to force their goodwill upon him?

Creak!

The two pushed the door open, but neither of them expected to find a burly man in a black trench coat with a full beard standing outside.

It was the guy who had been smoking and exchanged a glance with Erik from afar earlier.

Sabretooth.

"Is it over already? What's wrong, didn't seem like the conversation went well!"

Sabretooth grinned at the group, exuding an oppressive aura.

"Victor!"

Bradley's expression changed slightly upon seeing who it was.

During their time working together, Bradley had personally witnessed Victor's monstrous nature. He was a bloodthirsty lunatic.

"Bradley, aren't you happy to see an old friend?" Sabretooth glanced at Bradley out of the corner of his eye.

"Excuse me, could you please move? You're blocking the door."

Erik frowned when he saw Sabretooth completely blocking the doorway and spoke to him.

"No, no, no, don't say excuse me." Sabretooth held up a finger on his right hand and waved it in front of him. "Because I'm the one who should be saying sorry!"

"Oh? Why should you be sorry?" Erik raised an eyebrow.

Even if he were a fool, he would understand that something was off about the person in front of him.

"Heh heh."

Sabretooth didn't speak. He grinned, and sharp claws began to extend from his fingers.

"None of you are leaving today!" Sabretooth took a step forward, entering the room, and slammed the door shut.

[New Mission Generated:]

[Mission: Foil Sabretooth's actions and protect Homelander Bradley from being killed]

[Mission Reward: 100 Origin Points]

Just then, these lines of text suddenly appeared on Rorschach's system panel.

Rorschach couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

But immediately after, a surge of excitement followed.

The System had actually issued a mission!

And with a mission came rewards, and with rewards, he could rapidly improve his strength!

Although Rorschach didn't understand what the System's Origin Points were yet, it didn't matter. It didn't dampen his enthusiasm for completing this mission.

Sabretooth, it looks like I have no choice but to kill you!

Clang, clang!

A clattering sound rang out as all the metal objects in the room began to fly into the air under Erik's control, hovering in mid-air.

They seemed like his guardian deities.

It was quite a spectacular sight.

He, Magneto, was no pushover!

"I hope you can provide me with a little entertainment!"

Sabretooth bared his teeth in a sinister grin and lunged at Erik like a wild beast.

Swish, swish, swish!

The suspended metal objects, under Erik's control, shot towards Sabretooth like sharp swords.

Bang, bang, bang!

Sabretooth transformed into a beast, his claws slashing out repeatedly, swatting away and smashing the objects one by one.

Things like televisions and cabinets were like paper in front of Sabretooth, completely useless.

Sabretooth charged forward with incredible ferocity, a true force of nature.

But Erik wasn't to be trifled with either. Metal objects were sent flying towards Sabretooth one after another.

No matter how powerful Sabretooth was, he couldn't dodge them all.

Ching! Ching! Ching!

Under Erik's control, several dining knives plunged into Sabretooth's abdomen!

Success!

A hint of joy appeared on Erik's face.

"Roar!"

But the next moment, a beast-like roar erupted from Sabretooth's mouth.

Despite being stabbed in a vital spot, he acted as if nothing happened. With a mighty leap, he covered the remaining distance in an instant, appearing before Erik in the blink of an eye.

He raised his right hand high, his sharp claws slashing fiercely towards Erik!

Erik's pupils contracted sharply. At the critical moment, he desperately controlled a metal cabinet to block in front of him.

Boom!

Sabretooth's claws slammed into the metal cabinet, deforming it instantly.

Erik, behind it, felt as if he'd been hit by a sledgehammer. His body shuddered, and he was sent flying backward!

At this time, Erik hadn't yet trained with Charles and wasn't the future Magneto. His strength wasn't that formidable.

Furthermore, the space in Bradley's house was too limited, meaning Erik couldn't control many metal objects. As a result, Erik was quickly defeated.

"Cough! Cough!"

Erik felt like his ribs were about to shatter. He couldn't catch his breath, and his mind felt hazy.

"Die!"

Sabretooth gave Erik no chance to recover, lunging at him again like a wild beast.

His sharp claws continued to swing down mercilessly.

Although Stryker's order was to kill or capture, for the bloodthirsty Sabretooth, unless Stryker explicitly ordered a target to be kept alive, he would usually kill them directly.

After all, for Stryker's research, bringing back the serum was sufficient.

Just as Sabretooth was about to pounce on Erik, Erik suddenly saw his vision blur.

The young man he had previously overlooked had appeared in front of Erik with incredible speed.

He threw a punch directly at Sabretooth's chest.

Crack!

The sound of breaking bones rang out immediately. Sabretooth's massive body was sent flying like a cannonball.

With a boom, he smashed through Bradley's wall, creating a large hole, and crashed heavily onto the ground outside.

He skidded for a long distance on the ground before finally coming to a halt.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Astonished gazes were fixed on Rorschach.

This kid was actually this strong?
