Scene-Stealing Old Man Wan / The Raid Is On
"Get out of the way, don't frighten our guests, nigger!"
The blond man, dressed in a metallic punk style with earrings and a nose ring, though pale and with dark circles under his eyes, showed no less interest in the two beautiful women than the burly black man beside him.
"Beautiful ladies, this is just the right size to sit here. The three of us will definitely satisfy you..."
Being able to hang out with these two, Thomas, naturally a lecherous man himself, grinned and opened his wallet, revealing a wad of US dollars inside.
According to the landmark, this is near the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, a pilgrimage site for a certain industry in the United States. And the two beautiful women in front of me are dressed in a very stylish way; in short, they are quite stunning.
"Is this what you call the hospitable American people?"
"Their eyes were similar to those of the group that chased us in the valley before; in short, they were very annoying."
A2, with her arms wrapped around herself, felt like a swarm of flies were buzzing in her ears. She looked up slightly and asked Sarah, whose smile had frozen, what was going on.
"Oh, so you guys really do that kind of work? Did you sneak out?"
"Don't worry, we're tight-lipped. As for how you're going to talk, we'll find out soon enough..."
Thomas's eyes lit up, as if he had the two of them figured out, and he took the initiative to open the passenger side and the back seat.
Sarah took a deep breath, her gloomy face turning into a smile. She opened her backpack and slowly got into the passenger seat.
"It seems you're quite confident in your length?"
"Can it still get hard now?"
This seemingly weak and submissive Mother of New Humans, who appeared to be struggling to make a living, pulled out an M1911 from her backpack, skillfully disengaged the safety, and pointed the gun at Thomas's lower body.
Ten minutes later, the three naked men, now only wearing their underwear, rolled off the bus, their faces bruised and swollen. The black man, in particular, who tried to fight back with his strong physique, had three teeth knocked out.
"You have so little money, and you dare to come out picking up girls? Trash!"
Sarah opened Thomas's wallet and found that Franklin only made up a third of the total, while his two cronies, who clearly didn't look like rich people, were dirt poor.
Feeling her efforts were unsuccessful, the Mother of Humanity not only raised her middle finger in contempt and cursed, but also angrily got out of the car and stomped hard on each of the three men's groins.
Then, amidst the Affliction wails of the three scoundrels, Sarah, having fully unleashed her true nature, drove off in her Chevrolet.
"Hey, my dear sister, we'll split the spoils 50/50..."
In the car, Sarah pulled out half of the banknotes and stuffed them into her waist bag, then tossed the rest, along with her wallet, to A2 in the back seat.
If it weren't for A2's suppression, the three men's resistance just now would probably have succeeded.
Moreover, while borrowing clothes in the San Fernando Valley, she was spotted by several film crews. Without A2's protection, she might have already appeared on the big screen and become a sex symbol.
Of course, this Mother of New Humans had experienced the hardships of life was only going through the motions on the surface.
The stack of banknotes she had pulled out earlier, while similar in thickness to the other half, was almost entirely made of Franklin, making the difference in value self-evident.
As the Chevrolet drove slowly, Sarah picked up a perfectly good cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, temporarily relaxing her recently tense nerves. Her blank thoughts were gradually suppressed by the fading pleasure.
"Wow, they even have potato chips and gummy candies? Let's try them..."
As Sarah drove, she checked her haul and tossed two snacks from her bag to the A2 in the back.
But this Mother of New Humans clearly didn't notice that the auxiliary robot in A2's arms was flashing its electronic eyes as if it had received some kind of signal.
YoRHa Squad 2 was completely wiped out... The one who survived to the end was probably named... 2B...
Upon receiving the message, A2 fell into a brief daze, an inexplicable sadness brewing within him.
For the glory of mankind... hehe...
Time and again, they faced death with this noble sense of mission...
What if the truth is so absurd and ridiculous!
Perhaps, it would have been better if they had never been born...
Yes... that's for the best!
A2's deep and cold gaze slowly rose, his pupils reflecting the figure sitting in the driver's seat, the Tactical Sword on the seat being pulled out inch by inch.

Chapter 248, Section 262: The Scene - Wang Laowan
A manor house somewhere in Los Angeles.
Kevin parked the Audi that Tony had lent him at the door, and then he and Captain America Steve got out of the car one after the other.
Because mutants' abilities are not entirely controllable, and due to recent changes in the situation, the conflict between humans and mutants has become increasingly serious.
Therefore, Professor X chose a manor in the suburbs as the X-Men's base of operations to avoid conflict with normal humans.
The person who Door Opening the door was Wolverine Logan, a tough and hot-tempered middle-aged man who clearly didn't have a good impression of Kevin and Steve's visit.
"Although the professor has agreed to cooperate with your investigation, you can ask questions, but once you're done, get out of here!"
Logan's expression was icy, and a claw made of Adamantium emerged from between his fingers. With a casual wave of his hand, he sent a shower of stone chips flying from one of the sculpture's bases.
Steve stared at the destroyed platform, opened his mouth, and then silently shook his head.
S+ Knight-class... After Kevin received [Apocalypse]'s calculations about Logan, he understood...
This Wolverine possesses an extremely abnormal healing ability, and has even survived a nuclear bombing. He basically does not encounter enemies with a type that counters him, making him an invincible one-on-one fighter among his peers.
As the two entered the courtyard, many members of the X-Men made their appearance, while Kevin continuously used [Apocalypse] to conduct general data analysis.
Because the last meeting was too rushed, he didn't have time to collect data on the X-Men, so now it's a good opportunity to know them better.
"Cyclops" Scott Summers - S+ Knight-class...
"Colossus" Peter Rasputin - S+ Knight-class...
"Shadowcat" Katie Pride - S+ Knight-class...
Robert Louis Drake, the "Iceman" – S+ Knight-class (Self-doubt, potential not fully realized)...
Ouroboros, the Storm - Lord-class...
"Phoenix" Jean Grey - Lord-class (King-class potential not yet awakened)...
A series of preliminary measurements led Kevin to understand that there seemed to be a transformation in ability between the Knight-class and the Lord-class.
Of course, according to [Apocalypse]'s notes, being able to ensure one's own safety while launching area-of-effect attacks is merely one of the thresholds for the Lord-class.
However, there is no doubt that any one of them present, if released, would be equivalent to an army.
Kevin had to admit that compared to them, he and Steve were indeed weaklings.
However, due to the evolution of mutants, they often cannot escape the constraints of the normal human body, so if they find the right balance, it is difficult for them to achieve absolute dominance.
This bunch of psychopaths will actually be tortured and killed by Sentinel Robot in the future...
If the current Terminator robots were to acquire the technology of the Sentinel Robot and complete a fusion upgrade, that would be a real problem.
Furthermore, the situation for mutants is not optimistic either.
The commander noticed that the white walls of the adjacent conference room were covered with various newspaper clippings about "mutants attacking humans," as well as government proposals leaked through secret Pathway.
Just as Kevin was deep in thought, Doctor Beast pushed his old friend Professor X into the hall to meet the two Avengers members.
"Professor, I would like to ask how much you know about the mass defection of the Sentinel Robot at Trask Industries and the theft of research data?"
Faced with this type of mind-controlling mutant, Kevin saw no need to hide anything and simply Door Opening the point.
"These things are perhaps more credible from the perspective of the people involved..."
Professor X smiled slightly and beckoned to the room on the left. Bolivar Trask, the founder of Trask Industries, appeared before the two, his expression complex and serious.
"Rather than saying I disappeared, it's more accurate to say I was protected by the X-Men..."
"In fact, after the first attack, on our way back to Trask Industries, we were intercepted twice more by those special robots, resulting in heavy casualties among our security personnel..."
"Moreover, they've started targeting my family, which is something I cannot tolerate..."
"Therefore, I obtained the X-Men's covert protection on the condition that the Sentinel Program be suspended..."
Kevin seemed to understand something; he had to admit that Bolivar's choice was indeed very wise.
Those Terminator robots, generally at the Apostle level, would have little chance of breaking through the X-Men's defenses before they underwent a complete upgrade.
However, Kevin, who had personally investigated the scene after the first attack, realized that Doctor Bolivar was hiding something else.
It was at that moment that Mystique Raven had already taken control of him...
It's highly likely that the appearance of the Terminator and the support of the X-Men led Raven to ultimately abandon her plan to harm Doctor Bolivar.
However, once this matter is made public, the incident of General Stryker being assassinated by Mystique will likely implicate the X-Men.
Kevin naturally wouldn't delve into that; he was more concerned about something else.
"So, Doctor Bolivar, the Sentinel Robot defection and data theft were also a staged act you orchestrated to gracefully retire?"
If the speculation is confirmed, then the threat of the Terminator could be reduced by at least half.
However, the short, dwarf doctor shook his head helplessly.
"We are very sorry that significant mistakes occurred within the Trask Industries during the process of protecting families during evacuation and completing the industrial relocation..."
"Someone copied my research data and sold it illegally. I don't know where it ended up..."
"As for the first batch of Sentinel Robot ordered by the military, I originally planned to destroy them..."
At this point, Doctor Bolivar glanced at Professor X, his expression somewhat hesitant.
Finally, under Professor X's gentle yet encouraging gaze, he slowly began to speak.
"Actually, before the first attack, Mystique Raven had already obtained my identity card and all the codes to activate the Sentinel Robot..."
Kevin looked gloomy; hopefully, it wasn't the worst possible outcome...
Just as everyone was having a private conversation, Cyclops suddenly rushed into the hall with his computer, looking anxious. However, when he saw that Kevin and the others were still there, he hesitated to speak.
Logan, the usually decisive Wolverine, couldn't stand Cyclops's hesitation, so he extended his claws and confessed in a deep voice.
"We just received news that Magneto, leading his Brotherhood of Mutants, has surrounded the school!"
"Moreover, he appears to be accompanied by dozens of enormous robots! Here are some pictures from the scene, only ten minutes ago!"
Cyclops there was no longer any need to hide it, Laser turned on his computer. In the somewhat blurry image, a huge, silver-white robot was floating in mid-air above the Mutant School.
On the playground, the white-haired old man, wearing a cloak and a metal helmet, stood atop a high platform made of metal, surrounded by a group of henchmen, and had gathered all the mutants in the school on the playground.
The sentries are with him! And Doctor Bolivar's children are also under his control!
Professor X frowned deeply. He never imagined that his old friend, who had always hoped to fight for the survival rights of mutants, would actually start forcing these kids to take sides!
Problem, this is troublesome...
Just as everyone in the manor was lost in thought, the hall suddenly went dark, and a violent roar swept in all directions, shattering all the glass windows along the way!
P. S.: It seems like the bigger the entourage, the worse the defeat for this guy...
Chapter 249, Section 263: The Group Battle Begins
With the roof shaking violently, long, two-meter-long silver metal arms smashed through the concrete and attacked the people inside.
"Go!" Storm, who was skilled at controlling airflow, rolled her eyes and forcibly moved the falling building materials aside.
Wolverine Logan lifted Professor X's wheelchair and raced forward, with Colossus and Ghost Cat flanking them.
Both Cyclops and Iceman, who possess long-range attack capabilities, set their sights on the approaching metal arm.
As outsiders, Kevin and Steve, for their safety, naturally followed Professor X and escaped to the open space outside before the building completely collapsed.
In just a few breaths, the decades-old European-style building collapsed with a crash, and the ten huge, silver-white robots, each over three meters tall, showed signs of laser burning, ice crystal freezing, and lightning strikes.
But before everyone could catch their breath, the robot at the front, whose body was half frozen, began to show a frost-like color on its surface and gradually broke free from the ice.
Meanwhile, the large hole in the chest of the other robot, pierced by the laser, was quickly repaired as the metal flowed like water.
That design looks so familiar... the Second-generation Sentinel Robot!
Kevin stared in astonishment at the ten silver-white robots that were slowly landing around the courtyard.
In fact, the research on Sentinel Robot went through two stages. The first generation was just a semi-finished product that was tough and durable, but had many shortcomings.
