Conflict

The moment Deathstrike, Yuriko Oyama, stepped out of the car, a thick blast of optic energy came roaring at her!

Yuriko was highly alert. She had spotted the X-Men earlier, including Cyclops, whom she had fought before.

So when she parked, she deliberately stopped a little farther away.

She was also extremely cautious when getting out. When Cyclops sent a thick red beam straight at her, Yuriko lightly sidestepped and avoided it.

The car was not so lucky. Half its roof was blown clean off.

With that one move, the already tense situation immediately erupted into a fight!

Seeing that Wolverine, Storm, and the others were about to make their move as well, Sean had no choice but to jump in and stop them!

There were too many people on the X-Men's side. Yuriko could never take on five people alone. If Sean did not step in, this would turn into a one-sided beatdown.

And Yuriko could not die anyway... Tsk tsk, would they just torture her until the end of time?

"Stop!"

Sean shouted.

But his shout only worked on Polaris. No one else listened to him at all.

Wolverine had already extended his metal claws and lunged forward. This woman was the source of the dangerous scent he had sensed all along!

The moment they collided, Wolverine was immediately at a disadvantage. In terms of speed and agility, he was no match for Yuriko.

But with his immortal body, Wolverine feared nothing. He charged head-on!

Sean's balls ached. This bunch was ridiculously reckless, throwing down without a word! No wonder their name had the word "Men" in it—when it was time to fight, they fought!

Storm immediately summoned wind and lightning. It was her usual move, but it posed little threat to Yuriko.

The greatest threat to her was actually Phoenix, Jean Grey's telekinesis. That invisible force, which could distort her movements at any moment, had caused her to take quite a few hits from Wolverine's claws.

Tsk... Her clothes had been torn up!

"I said, stop!"

Sean roared furiously, his face dark.

Storm hesitated for a moment before stopping.

Phoenix, Jean Grey, looked at Sean uncertainly and asked, "She's an enemy!"

"She's my assistant."

After answering, Sean joined the fight as well.

His first target was Cyclops, but the moment he moved, Jean Grey reacted in turn.

Her telekinesis immediately pinned Sean in midair.

What a suffocating feeling!

This was what happened when the many bullied the few!

This was what it looked like when you lacked strength!

They did not care at all about the thoughts of a nobody like him!

For the first time, Sean wondered whether lying low would really let him win.

Yuriko was struggling against Wolverine and Cyclops working together, looking somewhat disheveled.

Storm was deeply conflicted. Lightning raged through the air, but it did not strike. Polaris was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Iceman and Rogue looked eager to try, as though they wanted to join the battle.

Nightcrawler stared intently at Yuriko, seemingly recalling something.

Sean's breathing had clearly quickened, and his emotions were extremely unsettled.

Time to rise up! Sean was ready to teach these X-Men a profound lesson!

He had more than ten thousand units of source essence—over sixteen thousand kilograms at his disposal!

If the materials allowed it, Sean could turn every one of these guys into a two-hundred-kilogram fatty!

Phoenix used her telekinesis to restrain Sean, leaving him completely unable to move. She would be Sean's first target!

"Ah!!!"

A violent pain erupted from her lower abdomen, and Phoenix, Jean Grey, was instantly overwhelmed.

A minor illness!

Just a stone. But when it hurt, it really was excruciating.

The pain caused by a tiny urethral stone was actually level four. That was truly something else. Sean had acquired this condition because the patient had been in so much pain that they would rather spend over a hundred thousand dollars than continue suffering.

There were five pain levels in total. Level three was already considered severe pain, let alone level four. Level four pain came with changes in vital signs such as blood pressure and pulse. One could imagine just how intense the pain was.

Jean Grey was now directly overwhelmed by the pain that had erupted in an instant.

Once free of the restraint, Sean immediately targeted Cyclops. Cerebral palsy! A gift for him~

It was lightweight and effective!

But he only had one case of this illness. Otherwise, giving everyone cerebral palsy would have been much more convenient.

Xavier... He probably would not be able to go there again in the future...

Without Cyclops helping him, Wolverine was no match for Yuriko at all, but neither of them could really determine a winner.

Their abilities were too similar. Neither could seriously injure the other.

Seeing Jean Grey's condition, Storm quickly went to check on her. She could not see any injuries. Jean Grey was merely clutching her lower abdomen and rolling on the ground, telekinesis scattering wildly and causing grass and dirt to float into the air.

"Sean White! What exactly did you do?"

Storm cried out sharply!

Polaris trembled a little at the sight. Although she had never experienced such torment, merely being unable to hold in her urine had made her understand why the Black Ledger had such a terrible reputation.

Iceman, Bobby, and Rogue immediately panicked. Iceman released a blast of cold, trying to restrain Sean.

Sean had no desire to touch something that could approach absolute zero.

With a casual gesture, he threw a case of polio at him. The kid immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Rogue's eyes turned red with anxiety, but her combat abilities were honestly terrible. She could not help at all.

Nightcrawler, who had been staring blankly at Yuriko, suddenly spoke up.

"I remember now! She's a mutant who was controlled too!"

Nightcrawler's voice brought the commotion at the scene to an abrupt pause.

Phoenix had already crushed the stone with her telekinesis and was about to deal with Sean, but Nightcrawler's words made her hesitate again!

Seeing Cyclops lying there, Phoenix hurried over and helped her boyfriend sit up.

"Scott, how are you?"

"Uh... uh... uh..." Cyclops could not speak a complete sentence. His eyes were anxious, but he could do nothing.

"White! What did you do to Scott?"

"Cerebral palsy!"

Sean quickly answered Phoenix.

"Damn it!"

Phoenix, Jean Grey, glared hatefully at Sean, wanting to crush him up and eat him!

"Calm down, calm down. It's just a minor illness."

"What about me?" Iceman, Bobby, asked worriedly as he looked at his twisted leg.

"Polio. It's nothing serious."

"How could you do this?" Rogue accused furiously.

"I think we should take this chance to beat him up badly!" Rogue said to Iceman, Phoenix, Storm, and the others.

"Little girl, if you do that, you can experience the taste of grade four hemorrhoids!"

Sean cast a disdainful glance at the useless Rogue and said ominously.

"..." Rogue immediately went quiet. Just hearing the name of that illness made her shudder all over.

"Logan! Stop. This won't lead anywhere."

One was stabbing while the other clawed. These two rapidly healing monsters seemed as though they could keep going forever.

But Sean's words were useless. Would Wolverine listen to him? Absolutely not.

"Logan, stop."

Professor X had awakened. His words had an entirely different effect.

After one last attack, Wolverine quickly withdrew from the battle.

Sean had Yuriko stop as well.

Wolverine had torn this woman's clothes pretty badly. They were ragged, exposing the skin beneath.

Which made Sean take a few extra looks.

"White, I need to thank you."

"Thank me? Heh heh, is this how you let them thank me?"

Sean immediately understood that Professor X knew the role he had played in the incident just now. So, refusing to let the matter go, he shot back with a question.

"Professor!"

The moment the professor awoke, Jean Grey and the others immediately gathered around him. His treatment was truly different from everyone else's.

"Relax. I'm fine."

Professor X reassured the group, who were either suffering from polio or cerebral palsy. Then he turned to Sean and said:

"They misunderstood you, and at times they acted somewhat impulsively without seriously considering the consequences. But it ultimately stemmed from a misunderstanding. We are well aware that you are a friend to mutants. I only hope that you do not allow these misunderstandings to deepen into hatred."

Sean found it amusing. The professor was right—it had indeed started with misunderstandings and misconceptions. But he simply did not like the X-Men's way of doing things.

So what if they had superpowers? Did having superpowers make them superior to others? As their creditor, he felt that these people were only a little stronger than ordinary people. Without self-healing abilities, they would still have to kneel when they got sick.

Aside from Rogue and Phoenix, who had crushed her own stone, Iceman, Bobby, and Cyclops, Scott, were about to become Sean's debtors as well.

Of course, they might not be short on money and could afford the payment. But...

That still depended on whether Sean was willing. If Doctor White insisted on giving them medical loans, they would have to take them!

That was the benefit of holding unilateral power. Polio... no one besides him could cure it. The same went for cerebral palsy. These two debtors would not be able to run.

It was just a pity about Phoenix. She was clearly excellent material, but she could crush her own stones...

"Professor Charles, you're right. I'm a young man, only in my early twenties. This should be the age when I'm impulsive, yet compared with them, I'm actually the least impulsive one... What do you think causes that?"

Sean questioned Professor X.

"You are rather special. I discovered long ago that I cannot see your thoughts."

... Sean cursed internally. Thank goodness the Black Ledger could protect him. Otherwise, this bald man would have dug up all his secrets long ago!

"Professor, don't change the subject. We're talking about impulsiveness."

"All right. I'm listening carefully."

"I think the fundamental reason they're so impulsive is their strength! They have great power, so they have the foundation to be impulsive! Look at Rogue—she isn't impulsive at all, because she's too useless. If she dared to rush over, I could kick her flying with one foot!"

Sean's description infuriated Rogue, Anna Marie. What did he mean by too useless? Was she really that useless?

His words had offended more than just Rogue. Cyclops, Scott, Phoenix, Jean Grey, Storm, and Iceman all glared at him angrily.

But would Sean care about them? More than half of them would become his debtors in the future. Would he be afraid of them? What a joke.

"Your reasoning is somewhat one-sided, but it is not without merit."

Professor X thought for a moment before replying.

"Professor!"

The X-Men were unhappy. How could the professor say that? Wasn't the reason they had acted impulsively because this black-hearted doctor was so irritating?

That was everyone's inner thought. Sean White was simply too annoying!

"Haha~"

Sean laughed heartily.

"Professor, you're a reasonable man. These people just need to be put in their place. They need to understand that not everything in the world can be solved through force."

Having had his view acknowledged, Sean even became more polite. Professor Charles seemed like a good guy!

"Treat them. They are all good children."

"..." Sean could not quite understand why the professor kept calling the X-Men children. Aside from Iceman and Rogue, who here was young? Oh—Polaris, Lorna, was young too.

"You're the professor. Whatever you say!"

Sean still had some expectations for treating Iceman and Cyclops. Cyclops aside—he was the X-Men's captain and leading figure. Iceman alone was extraordinary. He was an Omega-level mutant! His future was promising!

"Then let's discuss the treatment fees."

Sean smiled like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

Sean: Tsk! You look so big. Why are you so light?

Cyclops: ...

Iceman: ...

Taking being annoying to the very end!

Doctor Sean White officially began his march toward becoming a major villain!
