"My knife can cut through bullets, how could it not cut off your finger? You should know your limits when you brag, otherwise you'll be nothing more than a three-legged cat if your tiger claw is really cut off!"

"You're treating two broken knives like treasures? What an ignorant fellow! Do you even know what an indestructible divine weapon is? Those two knives of yours are nothing more than children's toys, only fit for peeling fruit!"

Agent Zero was striking a cool pose, looked completely bewildered and at a loss. What was going on? The script wasn't right!

Shouldn't there be applause at this moment?

And why are these two arguing? It's quite unexpected that Victor, that Beast, can hold his own against Wade, that sharp-tongued jerk.

Regardless, Agent Zero remembered his mission. Now that the enemies outside the target building had been largely eliminated, he immediately stood up, went to the main entrance, and pushed open the iron mesh gate.

Outside the gate, where the X-Force members were, Wade and Victor's conversation continued.

When Wade heard Victor say that the two longswords he treasured were just children's toys, he was about to retort when he suddenly remembered the indestructible divine weapon Victor had mentioned earlier, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Wade's eyes darted around quickly before he looked at Victor with a disdainful expression and said.

"There's no such thing as an invincible weapon in this world. Are you talking about King Arthur's King's Sword? Kid, those are just myths and legends. You're all grown up now, why do you still believe in that?"

Victor gave Wade a strange look, surprised that Wade's random remark had actually come true.

Victor had followed Chen Mo for over a hundred years, so his knowledge was naturally far superior to that of Wade and the others. He also knew the origin of the ancient longsword in Chen Mo's study.

When they first saw the ancient-looking but brand-new and sharp longsword in Chen Mo's study, with its blade radiating a chilling aura, they asked Chen Mo about the origin of this strange longsword.

Chen Mo had nothing to hide, so he told the two the truth.

They didn't really believe that this sword was the King's Sword of King Arthur, and that Chen Mo said it was indestructible and could cut through iron like mud. To them, it sounded more like a myth or a magical legend.

However, after they secretly took the sword and tried it out while Chen Mo was out of the study, the two of them no longer had any doubts.

In the Training Room, an iron pillar as thick as a thigh was sliced in half with a single sword stroke, as easily as a sausage; in the manor's back garden, a marble sculpture larger than a person was also easily cut in half as if it were tofu.

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but Zachary Taylor, the manor's butler, chased after the two guys who had damaged the manor and gave them a good scolding.

When Wade said that the King's Sword was a myth that only children believed, Victor couldn't help but think that he and James had the same idea back then.

Despite this, he still looked at Wade with disdain.

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Isn't resurrection a myth? Isn't immortality a myth? Oh, sorry, I forgot, with your pitifully limited knowledge, you certainly haven't seen these either! So, wouldn't superhuman physical abilities like teleportation be considered abilities from myths and legends?"

Wade's playful expression vanished, replaced by a suspicious look as he spoke to Victor.

"You mean...?"

Victor shook his head.

"I don't know if King Arthur and Merlin were Mutants, but I do know that the King's Sword really exists."

Upon hearing this, Wade's eyes lit up, and he couldn't care less about arguing with Victor anymore, so he asked urgently.

"Where?"

As a master of the knife, the allure of a peerless weapon is immense.

Victor didn't say anything upon hearing this, but instead turned to look at Chen Mo standing beside him.

Feeling Victor's gaze, Chen Mo shook his head helplessly.

He naturally realized that Wade had deliberately steered the conversation toward the topic after hearing Victor mention the indestructible divine weapon. Victor was also aware of this, but he still wanted to broaden the horizons of this country bumpkin Wade.

As for keeping it a secret, Victor knew that the sword was Chen Mo's weapon. The dual swords he used when he competed with Wade were just for the sake of fairness, so as not to bully Wade.

This sword will be revealed to the public sooner or later, so Victor naturally doesn't need to keep it a secret.

Besides, with Chen Mo's power, would he care about the exposure of such a secret?

As a trusted confidant who had followed Chen Mo from the very beginning, Victor knew exactly how terrifying Chen Mo's power was.

Therefore, Victor did not deliberately hide the existence of the King's Sword.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes at the show-off Victor, not answering him directly, but instead turned to look at the door that had just been opened by Agent Zero.

Victor and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes in that direction as well.

Only then did everyone realize that Agent Zero had essentially eliminated the building's external defenses and opened the door.

However, at the same time, they also saw a person quickly retreating into the turret and closing the hatch on top of a tank parked inside the gate.

The tank was positioned in front of a row of heavy concrete blocks as cover, preventing it from being moved freely. In fact, there was no driver inside the Kree; it had always been used as a defensive turret. There was only one gunner Kree, and he was Kree when Agent Zero launched the attack. Because the visibility inside the Kree was very limited, he didn't understand what was happening outside. He only heard a burst of gunfire, and the battle was very fast. As soon as he pushed open the hatch and peeked out, he found that all his comrades had been killed. The previously closed door was also pushed open, and not far outside the door, there were several tall and burly enemies standing there. He was so frightened that he quickly shrank back inside.

He peeked out for only a short time, and Agent Zero was opening the door at the time, so he didn't notice him. That's why he was able to escape unscathed and wasn't killed like the others.

If he had arrived at 1 a. m. or 1 p. m., his fate would have been the same as those corpses lying on the ground—killed with a single shot.

However, now that he's hiding inside the Kree, Agent Zero can't do anything to him. Although his marksmanship is excellent, he can't do anything to the heavily armored tank, and the same goes for Wade, John Wraith, and the others.
