Although he didn't find any staff on the Third Underground Floor, Richard didn't plan to leave without doing anything.
Great Fire! Without any hesitation, he cast Great Fire, summoning orange-red scorching flames and setting the Third Underground Floor on fire.
Soon, various areas of the Third Underground Floor were engulfed by the raging inferno.
Under the scorching heat of the flames, various precision instruments and equipment were destroyed, and the entire Third Underground Floor quickly turned into a sea of fire.
After glancing at the results of his arson, Richard used Flash to return to the Second Underground Floor and saw Sabretooth and the Clone still wrestling, evenly matched.
With a helpless sigh, Richard raised the Masamune in his hand and casually swung it at the Clone.
Zanshin!
A crescent moon sword qi, purple on the outside and white on the inside, flew towards the Clone like lightning, passing through the Clone's waist as if slicing through a cucumber, splitting the Clone in two.
"Finish it quickly, I set a fire downstairs, the smoke will come up soon."
Richard said to Sabretooth.
If he hadn't set a fire on the Third Underground Floor, he wouldn't have minded Sabretooth continuing to wrestle with the Clone.
But not now.
Thick smoke and flames from the Third Underground Floor had already begun to spread towards the Second Underground Floor through ventilation ducts and elevator shafts.
If Sabretooth continued his "love-hate relationship" with the Clone, both of them would be engulfed in the sea of fire.
He didn't care if the Clone was engulfed in the sea of fire.
But he didn't want to see Sabretooth trapped in the sea of fire either.
Hearing Richard's words, Sabretooth didn't hesitate, immediately went to the upper half of the Clone's body, and grabbed the opponent's neck.
Then, he exerted force with both hands and tore off the Clone's head.
Richard originally thought Sabretooth would throw away the Clone's head after killing him.
It turned out he was overthinking.
After tearing off the Clone's head, Sabretooth didn't throw away the head in his hand, but instead brought the Clone's head to him.
"Take me to the plaza above."
Sabretooth said to Richard, holding the Clone's head.
"Okay."
Although he didn't know what Sabretooth was going to do, Richard didn't ask further and directly grabbed Sabretooth's shoulder.
Flash!
With a thought, he and Sabretooth instantly disappeared, returning from the Second Underground Floor to the plaza in front of the office building.
Upon arriving at the plaza, Sabretooth immediately went to the flagpole without saying a word and lowered the United States flag on the flagpole.
He tied the Clone's head and the United States flag together, and then raised the Clone's head and the United States flag together to the top of the flagpole.
Uh...
Richard originally thought Sabretooth was going to keep the Clone's head as evidence.
He didn't expect that Sabretooth actually wanted to tie the Clone's head to the United States flag to declare his dissatisfaction.
As Sabretooth admired his "masterpiece" with a satisfied look, Richard came up to him and grabbed his shoulder again.
Flash!
He cast Flash again, taking Sabretooth away from the plaza and back to the Building Rooftop where Clarice was.
As soon as he arrived on the rooftop, Sabretooth saw the Mutant children who had just been rescued, looking at Clarice with puzzled expressions.
"They were locked in cages on the Third Underground Floor, Richard told me to bring them out."
Clarice immediately said.
Hearing Clarice's answer, Sabretooth immediately looked at Richard and asked, "What are you going to do with these little guys?"
"We'll talk about how to deal with them later, you guys take them back first, I still have some personal matters to handle."
Richard replied.
"You're not coming back with us?"
Clarice immediately asked.
"I'll go back later."
"Alright, don't waste time, you guys go first."
After speaking, Richard used Flash to return to the plaza in front of the office building.
Seeing him use Flash to return to the plaza, Sabretooth and Clarice both frowned.
In their opinion, tonight's goal had been perfectly achieved, and there was no need to stay any longer.
They would never know that for Richard, tonight's goal was far from being achieved.
He needed to kill 12 Mutant Agents to complete the "Son of the Devil (II)" mission and get Vergil's Summoned Swords.
Currently, he had only killed Benjamin, and there was still a long way to go before completing the mission.
Although the system didn't require him to complete the mission tonight, tonight was the best time to do so.
More importantly, he didn't want to make another trip.
There was no need to drag something that could be completed tonight until the next day.
This was like webnovel authors writing.
Many webnovel authors could clearly finish writing today's content during the day, but they insisted on not writing, waiting until nine or ten at night to start their "full attendance defense battle."
What was even more speechless was that these webnovel authors didn't even have saved drafts and insisted on experiencing a "life-and-death speed" at the last moment every day.
Although the system gave him 3 days to complete the mission, Richard didn't plan to wait until the mission time was almost over to complete a mission that could have been finished earlier.
Procrastination was not a good habit!
Flashing back to the plaza of the office building, Richard did not enter the office building to chase after ordinary staff, nor did he intend to set fire inside the office building. Instead, he came to the wreckage of the Sentinel Robots.
He simply arranged and organized the wreckage of the Sentinel Robots, creating a "throne" for himself made of Sentinel Robot wreckage.
Then, he plunged the Masamune next to the "throne," sat down grandly, and waited for the arrival of other Mutant Agents.
While the Mutant Agents from the Action Department were rushing to the Los Angeles Branch, the major television stations in Los Angeles also received news that the Los Angeles Branch was being attacked.
Although they were not prepared, these television stations immediately dispatched news helicopters and reporters to the scene.
At the same time, news of the attack on the Los Angeles Branch also began to circulate online.
Before long, the news helicopters from the major television stations arrived above the Los Angeles Branch.
Without exception, the searchlights and cameras on the news helicopters were all focused on Richard, who was sitting on the wreckage of the Sentinel Robots.
Not only did Richard not drive away these news helicopters, but he also hoped that the reporters on these news helicopters could broadcast the upcoming battle live.
Although this would make him a key wanted criminal for the U.S. government and the Department of Mutant Affairs, he didn't care.
Or rather, from the first day he transmigrated to this world, he was mentally prepared to become "famous."
Unless he intended to be a "dog" for the U.S. government and the Department of Mutant Affairs.
Otherwise, given his personality, it was only a matter of time before he completely went to war with the U.S. government and the Department of Mutant Affairs.
"Get famous early, if it comes too late, the joy won't be as intense!"
This was the original quote from a famous female writer!
Richard agreed with this!
The scene of him sitting grandly on the wreckage of the Sentinel Robots was quickly broadcast live.
Less than a minute after the live broadcast of the scene, many viewers and netizens recognized him as the "male protagonist" from the videos that were taken down a few days ago.
"How is it him again?"
"Didn't the Department of Mutant Affairs issue an A-level Wanted Order for his arrest?"
"He must have seen the wanted order and came to attack the Los Angeles Branch!"
"Did you notice that his hair is much longer than a few days ago?"
"Although he's not as handsome as me, I have to say, his hairstyle and hair color are very cool."
"Silver hair is indeed very cool, I've decided, I'm going to dye my hair silver tomorrow!"
"Where are the Mutant Agents from the branch? Are they all dead? Why isn't anyone coming out to arrest him?"
"I love watching 'house dogs' and 'wild dogs' fight!"
"Are those things he's sitting on the wreckage of Sentinel Robots?"
"Probably not, Sentinel Robots are the 'natural enemies of mutants', no mutant can defeat a Sentinel Robot!"
"Even Magneto couldn't be caught, and you still call them 'natural enemies of mutants'?"
"Where did all the Mutant Agents from the Los Angeles Branch go? Does the Department of Mutant Affairs only know how to waste our taxpayer money?"
The Mutant Agents from the Action Department had not yet arrived, but netizens had already started a heated discussion.
Although the topics of discussion were different, the vast majority of netizens were not optimistic about Richard, thinking that he was seeking his own death.
Among the viewers and netizens watching the live broadcast, there were also many mutants.
But these mutants did not participate in the discussion, instead looking at Richard, who was sitting on the wreckage of the Sentinel Robots, with complex expressions.
Once upon a time, they had also fantasized about such a scene.
But unfortunately, they did not have Richard's strength or his courage, and could only fantasize about it in their minds.
Although the live broadcast was currently being handled by news helicopters from local television stations in Los Angeles, the live broadcast was not limited to Los Angeles.
Viewers from other states could also watch the live broadcasts from these television stations.
As for online live broadcasts, there was even less to say.
New York, Westchester.
School for Mutants.
Principal's office.
Cyclops, wearing a jacket and jeans, knocked on the office door. Without waiting for Professor X's reply, he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Professor, the Los Angeles Branch of the Department of Mutant Affairs was attacked."
After speaking, Cyclops picked up the TV remote control and tuned to a channel on a Los Angeles television station.
Like other mutant viewers, Professor X, who initially didn't recognize the Sentinel Robot wreckage, only slightly frowned.
But soon, seeing that Richard was sitting on the Sentinel Robot wreckage, a look of shock appeared on Professor X's face.
Even within the X-Men, not everyone could handle a Sentinel Robot alone.
Let alone several at once.
As the founder of the X-Men and the School for Mutants, he knew the strength of the Sentinel Robots better than most mutants.
Not only that, he also knew which generation the United States government had developed the Sentinel Robots to by now.
As Professor X showed a shocked expression, Cyclops's voice rang out.
"His name is Richard Wesley, the only son of the Los Angeles billionaire, Roy Wesley."
"Roy Wesley founded a mutant organization near Los Angeles called 'Crimson Manor'."
"A week ago, Roy Wesley was confirmed to be an unregistered mutant and was arrested by agents from the Los Angeles Branch."
"A few days later, the Los Angeles Branch sent three agents and a team of special forces to apprehend Richard and the other mutants from 'Crimson Manor'."
"In Santa Ana, the agents and special forces members from the Los Angeles Branch were killed by Richard and Sabretooth Victor working together. The scene was filmed by a restaurant customer with their phone and uploaded online."
"The uploaded video quickly caused a sensation. Although the website quickly took down these videos, many people still saved them."
"On the same day, the Los Angeles Branch issued an A-level Wanted Order for Richard."
