Black Market Merchant and Sabretooth

African coast.

Salva Grand Dock.

In a scrapyard filled with decrepit ships.

A helicopter slowly descended.

Xu Mo, wrapped up tightly, stepped down from the helicopter and looked doubtfully at the ship where dense gunfire rang out in the distance.

"Someone got here first?"

This was where Ultron had obtained Vibranium.

And the black market merchant here, Ulysses, possessed Vibranium smuggled out of Wakanda.

For now, this was also the easiest place to obtain Vibranium.

Actually, if he wanted to forge weapons, Adamantium was more suitable than Vibranium.

Vibranium could absorb kinetic energy, making it better suited for armor.

Adamantium, on the other hand, was indestructible and the best material for weapons.

For throwing knives, Adamantium was naturally the better choice.

Unfortunately, the Adamantium formula had vanished along with Stryker's Alkali Base. Finding it would not be easy, so Xu Mo could only settle for Vibranium.

With that in mind, Xu Mo did not hesitate. His figure flashed as he flew toward the ship.

Inside the ship at that moment.

The short Ulysses, guarded by his men, warily watched a middle-aged man in the distance. The man's hands had transformed into two massive tiger claws.

Drops of blood dripped from the claw tips.

Two corpses lay on the floor behind him.

Several bloody holes marred the man's body as well.

But as time passed.

The wounds on his body healed at Super Speed. The bullets were forced from his wounds, and amid a dense clatter of bullets hitting the floor, his injuries had already fully recovered.

"A Mutant?"

Seeing this, Ulysses quietly took several steps back. Only after glancing around at the surrounding gunmen did he feel a little safer.

"I thought I made myself very clear. If you want Vibranium, pay up!"

The Mutant across from him clearly had no intention of accepting that proposal.

His lowered head slowly rose, his beastlike eyes fixed on Ulysses.

The moment he saw that look, Ulysses realized the other man clearly was not someone who could be reasoned with.

He immediately waved his right hand.

"Kill him!"

After giving the order, Ulysses turned and retreated toward the rear.

The gunmen around him all pulled their triggers.

A dense storm of bullets swept through the area.

By the time the smoke cleared, the Mutant had vanished.

In a room on the ship's lower deck.

Ulysses gripped a pistol as he listened to the sounds outside.

Several gunmen stood guard in the room. This room contained all the Vibranium he had stolen from Wakanda over the past several years, worth more than a billion. Naturally, he could not allow such a massive fortune to be taken from him.

When the gunfire outside finally stopped.

His expression shifted.

"Dead?"

He waved to one of his men. The gunman tightened his grip on his pistol and walked toward the door, intending to head outside and investigate.

But he had only just reached the door.

Boom!

With a deafening blast, the door flew straight inward.

The gunman who had been about to leave was smashed to the ground by the alloy door panel. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he was clearly beyond saving.

Ulysses dodged the door panel and looked toward the entrance.

The man standing outside was the same Mutant from before.

After a burst of gunfire.

Ulysses felt a sudden warmth against his neck. The other man's blood-dripping claws had already been placed against it.

The surrounding gunmen clutched the bloody holes in their bodies and slowly collapsed to the floor.

"Vibranium! Give it to me!"

The Mutant man let out a beastlike roar. Ulysses had no doubt that if he did not hand over the Vibranium, the other man would slit his throat the very next moment.

"Wait, I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

Ulysses hurriedly pressed a button on the wall behind him.

He entered a password on the keypad that appeared afterward.

A metal door slowly slid open to both sides, and an elevator-like platform descended from within.

On it lay blocks of Vibranium sealed inside transparent glass containers.

"All the Vibranium is here, one hundred and thirty-six kilograms in total!"

At the sight of the Vibranium, the Mutant shoved Ulysses aside.

Ulysses hurriedly fled away from the doorway.

The Mutant man ignored him. He stepped forward to inspect it, then packed the Vibranium into a bag and carried it toward the exit.

He had only just reached the door.

A figure descended from the sky and smashed heavily into the floor.

Looking at the scene inside the cabin, Xu Mo let out a long breath.

"Good thing I wasn't too late!"

He swept his gaze over the room. When he saw the Mutant's weathered face and his hands transformed into enormous claws, his expression froze.

As the man's wounds rapidly healed, several bullets were expelled from them.

"Sabretooth?"

A name surfaced in his mind.

With that appearance and that powerful healing ability, Xu Mo instantly guessed the Mutant's identity.

"Why was he here?"

After only a brief moment of confusion, Xu Mo accepted it. This was a real world. Even Juggernaut could get involved with Kingpin, so there was nothing particularly strange about Sabretooth appearing here.

"Move aside!"

Sabretooth let out a low voice as he stared at Xu Mo, who stood in his way.

Seeing the emotionless look in the other man's eyes.

"Was he being controlled?"

Xu Mo guessed.

With that thought, he had no intention of wasting any more words on him.

His figure flashed and vanished from where he stood.

Sabretooth's vision blurred. Before he could react, a black fist the size of a sandbag had already appeared before his face.

An overwhelming force struck him.

Sabretooth felt his face go numb, then his body shot upward like a rocket after smashing through several layers of steel plating.

With his powerful physique and extraordinary healing ability that made him unafraid of firearms, Sabretooth Victor was practically an unsolvable threat compared to ordinary people.

But unfortunately, he had encountered Xu Mo.

His powerful physique was simply not worth mentioning before Xu Mo's amplified strength of over thirty tons and speed exceeding one hundred meters per second.

Ulysses led his gunmen to the doorway and happened to witness the scene before them. His expression stiffened.

"Who are you?"

Xu Mo ignored him. Instead, he stepped forward, picked up the bag Sabretooth had dropped on the ground, and opened it for a look.

After confirming that it truly contained what he wanted, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, buddy, that's my stuff. Give it back right now!"

Seeing Xu Mo's actions, Ulysses quickly said.

Judging from his actions, he was clearly after the Vibranium as well.

"Give it back to you?"

"I took it by my own ability. Why should I give it back to you?"

Xu Mo said righteously.

Hearing that, Ulysses was speechless for a moment.

"Buddy, you don't seem to understand the situation. I suggest you be sensible!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the guns in his men's hands all aimed at Xu Mo.

"If you know what's good for you, put down what you're holding!"

Xu Mo slowly turned around at those words and looked at the group.

Aside from the Vibranium, these people were just as useful to him.

After all, they were all points!
