The Best Outcome!
Logan grinned at William Stryker, then stretched out his long, thick arm, which was thicker than Stryker's thigh, grabbed William Stryker's shirt from behind and lifted him up. He then carried William Stryker, who was barely touching the ground, like a chick, towards the door.
"Put me down! You can't do this!"
William Stryker's face was contorted with pain, anger, and rage, his eyes bloodshot. He frantically flailed his arms in an attempt to resist, but he was no match for the beast-like Logan. He couldn't even reach Logan's clothes and could only struggle in vain, irresistibly being dragged away by Logan.
Watching William Stryker disappear through the door, Chen Mo could completely understand his anger. The "X-Weapon Project" was something he had created, and it was about to be completed. His long-held goal of destroying Mutants was about to be achieved, but at this moment, Chen Mo suddenly jumped out and forcibly took everything from him. All his efforts and expectations, as well as the goal that was within reach, had all turned into nothing. How could he accept this willingly!
But what can he do if he's unwilling? His fate is sealed. If he survives the human experiments, there will be a place for him in this "exhibition room" where he can keep his son company.
Later, Chen Mo summoned all the key personnel of the base, including the X-Force and the original Special Operations Team Alpha, as well as the base's armed forces they led. Of course, Dr. Carol Foster and her research team were also present.
In front of everyone, General Munson announced the disposition of William Stryker and the Colonel of Chen Mo to take over the entire "X-Weapon Project.
Although no one knew how Captain Chen Mo had suddenly become Colonel, everyone readily accepted the appointment announced by General Munson.
Although they were in a secret base, they were very clear about their identities. They were not William Stryker's personal subordinates, but a secret research department under the military. General Munson was their true superior, and William Stryker was just a senior manager.
Moreover, compared to William Stryker, Chen Mo's influence within the base is actually higher. The X-Force and the base's conventional armed forces are entirely under his control. As for the research department, don't forget that all the researchers were personally recruited by General Munson. Their true loyalty is to General Munson, or rather, to Chen Mo behind him. Dr. Carol Foster, the head of the research team, already knew that William Stryker was about to fall when she helped Chen Mo persuade him to enhance Logan. Therefore, when Logan sent William Stryker to the lab, saying he wanted to use William for experiments, Dr. Carol Foster was not surprised at all, and did not release him as ordered by William Stryker, nor did Stryker begin the manufacture of the "X-Weapon" ahead of schedule.
William Stryker had hoped that Dr. Carol Foster would continue to obey him and secretly create a "X-Weapon" that would obey him after Logan left, thus turning the tide of the war!
But Dr. Carol Foster, who used to obey him without question, merely glanced at him coldly when faced with his orders, then ignored him and turned away, leaving him alone in the temporary cell where the experimental subjects were held.
This cell was specifically designed to imprison Mutants. It wasn't the typical concrete walls and iron bars found in prisons, but rather a completely enclosed steel cage embedded in the walls. Only the side facing the laboratory was a single wall of Reinforced Glass capable of withstanding rifle fire, making it even stronger than the steel walls on the other sides. Even powerful Mutants couldn't escape from inside, let alone someone like William Stryker, who was just an ordinary person.
Watching Dr. Carol Foster turn and leave, William Stryker's Stryker hope was utterly shattered. His hands slumped against the solid Reinforced Glass in front of him, despair plastered on his face William. It's over! Utterly over!
The members of X-Force were overjoyed at Chen Mo's promotion. From beginning to end, William Stryker treated them with an air of superiority, as if joining X-Force was the greatest honor he had bestowed upon them, and that they should be like dogs, at his beck and call, and even grateful.
It wasn't until Chen Mo took over the X-Force that they truly felt equality and respect.
William Stryker treated them like animals, like slaves, while considering himself a superior master. Chen Mo, whose strength far surpassed theirs and who was truly qualified to be their master, treated them as companions, respected them, cared about their feelings, and tried every means to help them improve their strength.
Although Chen Mo is their Commander and gives them orders, he is only their "Commander"!
When Chen Mo gave them orders, it was as a captain and a Commander giving orders to his team members. They could feel Chen Mo's care, love and recognition for them, unlike William Stryker's arrogant and disdainful way of giving them orders, as if he were commanding pigs and dogs!
Similarly, they also respected and loved Chen Mo very much. Therefore, the members of X-Force were happy about William Stryker's fate and Chen Mo's rise to take over the base. No one sympathized with William Stryker. His years of large-scale capture of Mutants and experimentation on them had already made the members of X-Force, Mutants Mutants, very dissatisfied. If it weren't for Chen Mo as the core of the team, and the fact that the ordinary Mutants were captured were only imprisoned and subjected to some harmless research, while the ones who were actually used for human experimentation were evil Mutants who deserved to die, they would have stopped long ago!
Even so, they were still very resistant to helping William Stryker capture other Mutants.
However, Chen Mo had privately assured them that he would ensure the safety of the captured ordinary Mutants and prevent them from being harmed, and that he would release all these innocent Mutants in the future, which is why they accepted.
After all, even if they didn't do it, other Mutants or the military would still do it. The military's secret research program wouldn't end because of their departure, and they couldn't fight against the powerful military. This is the best outcome they could hope for.
