Pretending to Overexert Himself

The Cadillac was an armored car, which was a bit of a surprise to the mercenaries. The intelligence hadn't mentioned that Logan had an armored vehicle, but when they opened fire with heavy machine guns, it was more than just a surprise.

It's illogical that heavy machine gun bullets, capable of penetrating even armored vehicles, failed to pierce bulletproof glass, leaving only clusters of blooming white mist.

"Don't panic, it's Mutants's ability!"

When they encounter something unscientific, they blame it on Mutants. The mercenaries are experienced and quickly found a convincing reason.

As Russell stepped out of the car, they opened fire without a word and pulled the trigger.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—

Faced with a barrage of bullets, Russell raised his hand and unleashed a screen of light to block the torrent of metal. Then, two Silver-white Giant Wolf sprang out from behind him and ran around the arena like lightning.

Once the two giant wolves returned to Russell's body, the ten cars simultaneously exploded into fireballs. Naturally, any mercenaries who pulled the trigger on him were reduced to charred remains.

The background was too weak, Russell was too lazy to put on a show, as it would be too beneath him. So he didn't even give them a chance to "take a deep breath of cold noodles" and sent them straight to hell.

In the blink of an eye, only five members of the Ravagers mercenary group survived, including their leader Pierce. These men were lucky; they managed to suppress Logan with their rifles and were unable to deal with Russell.

"..."

Pierce felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Without saying a word, he turned and ran, cursing Dr. Rice for being disloyal, running away while leaving them behind as cannon fodder.

Seeing this, the four henchmen threw their guns to the ground and quickly followed their boss.

Thud! Thud! Thud—

Russell drew his gun and pulled the trigger repeatedly, blowing the heads off the five fleeing men one by one. Afterwards, he felt a little regretful, as the system notified him that he had eliminated a supervillain.

"Too weak, this guy can be called a supervillain!?"

The four cannon fodder characters with modified mechanical limbs don't meet the standard for villains, so it can only be the security chief Pierce. I thought he was a minor character, but it turns out he's a BOSS.

Russell was speechless. He didn't expect all villains to be as powerful as Thanos, but at least they had to be believable.

For example, William Stryker's individual strength is practically zero. He makes up for his lack of combat power by leveraging the power of the masses, capturing a few powerful Mutants to act as henchmen to maintain appearances, and with his own scientific research capabilities, he can barely be considered a qualified BOSS.

Who does Pierce count for?

How can a lowly errand boy and a scapegoat be described as a super villain?

Is he related to the director? Or did he have a memorable role in the comics?

Russell thought to himself that he was having bad luck, kicked Deadpool was lying on the ground Feigning Death dead, and walked towards Logan.

X-24 crouched down on the ground, its body now fully repaired. The moment Russell passed by, it sprang up from the ground, its six sharp claws piercing out, and roared as it pounced on him.

Russell slightly turned his head to avoid the claws, then slapped X-24 across the face, sending him tumbling through the air several times before he lay on the ground, disoriented and unable to get up for a long time.

"..."

So hard!

Russell remained expressionless, rubbed his hands behind his back a couple of times, drew the Holy Light Longsword from the void, pierced X-24's chest, and pinned him to the ground.

X-24 is very useful, so we can't let him die yet!

Russell unleashed Holy Flame, scorching his body and constantly eroding his will, causing his already weakened soul to collapse further.

On the other side, Logan, covered in blood, got up. For some reason, even with the mercenaries' machine guns set up, he refused to back down and stood there to take the hits.

Russell couldn't understand it and could only attribute it to the father's pride and his desire to show his strength in front of his daughter.

"Quick, there are still two transport planes left. Don't let their boss get away," Logan said breathlessly. His injuries were too severe, and the healing process was not yet over. He looked extremely miserable.

"I know they can't escape... But you, don't push yourself, get some treatment first!" Russell raised his hand and placed it on Logan, sending a ray of holy light to accelerate his self-repair.

Click! Click!

Logan cracked his neck twice, frowned at X-24, and defended himself, saying, "Let me make this clear, he's just a cheap imitation. If it were me, I certainly wouldn't have been taken down in one move."

"Yeah, yeah, you're amazing, you can last at least two moves."

When Deadpool heard Logan bragging, he immediately came over to expose him. It wasn't that he was deliberately targeting Logan; as the captain of the X-Force, he couldn't tolerate his teammate boasting in front of him.

Moreover, he not only strictly demanded high standards from his teammates, but also strictly disciplined himself. He never boasted about his good looks to anyone.

"Wade, are you asking for trouble again?"

"If the truth is that it's just an itchy skin, then my itch has penetrated to the bone marrow."

"OK, I'd be happy to help. Once I've broken your bones, you won't itch anymore."

"..."

Silly Bird absurd dialogue made Russell want to stay away from them, fearing he might become as hopeless as they were.

He looked up at the two departing helicopters, thought for a moment, then decided not to chase after them. He opened the car door and sat down next to Professor X: "Professor, could you please make those two helicopters turn back?"

Professor X coughed weakly twice. "Wade, are you talking to me? I'm just an old man with brain atrophy. Maybe I was very capable before, but now..."

Laura wrinkled her nose. "Grandpa Charles, I think you're lying."

Upon hearing this, Professor X quickly shut his mouth and used a cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Kids these days are so clueless; why do they have to interrupt when adults are talking?

Russell chuckled. "Professor, quickly bring those two helicopters back. I need a lab to re-implant the healing factor into Logan."

"Then I'll give it a try..."

Upon hearing this, Professor X stopped refusing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after three seconds his rosy complexion turned deathly pale.

"It's all done now, the two helicopters are turning around. But this is really the last time. I can feel that if it happens again, I might die from overworking my brain."

"Grandpa Charles, I think you're lying."

"..."

Professor X didn't want to talk, so he pretended to have overexerted himself and needed to rest. He closed his eyes and soon started snoring.

Professor X's embarrassing experience illustrates two points: first, Laura is indeed Logan's daughter, they are both the same; second, shamelessness is powerless against stubbornness!

"Laura, honesty is a good virtue. You should continue to uphold it in front of the professor. He likes honest children."

As the sound of propellers drew closer, Russell gave a thumbs-up, opened the car door, and got out, leaving Laura nodding repeatedly and Professor X, whose snoring had stopped for a few seconds.

The transport helicopter slowly landed, and Dr. Rice, looking blank, stepped out. The others on the helicopter followed suit and lined up in a straight line.

"You bastard!"

Upon seeing the culprit behind the extermination of Mutants, Logan rushed forward, grabbed Dr. Rice by the collar, and placed his fist in front of him, with three sharp claws slowly extending out.

Dr. Rice remained motionless, his hand close to his pupil, without even blinking.

"Charles, is that you?"

Seeing Logan understood after a moment's thought. He left Dr. Rice, who was standing there like a puppet, when Russell walked over from the car. Logan hurriedly asked, "How is Charles? In his current state, he'll probably relapse soon if he uses his powers."

Russell's expression turned grave upon hearing this. "Logan, the situation is very serious. You need to be prepared. The professor disregarded his own safety and forcibly used his mind control ability; he has already fainted."

"What?! How could this happen?!" Logan's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"The professor himself said it. He said he's old and can't do it anymore. If he did it again, he might die from overworking his brain." Russell shrugged and sighed. "I just told him that if he stopped those two helicopters, he could find a lab to transplant the healing factor into you, but he..."

Logan eyes brimming with tears, cried out, "Charles, you bastard, how could you... how could you..."

Deadpool stood to the side, arms crossed, head tilted. Here we go again, that feeling that something's not right, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

Russell patted Logan on the shoulder, offering silent comfort, and said with a sigh, "I was going to take you to the lab, but there's a group of Mutants kids in North Dakota who desperately need rescue. Hoping Wade will go there and bring them back would likely result in them turning into Silly Bird; it wouldn't be worth it..."

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that!"

Deadpool couldn't pretend he hadn't heard, but Russell was completely unfazed and continued to lament to Logan, "We're too few people to operate on two fronts at the same time. If only the professor didn't have Alzheimer's, he could have piloted a transport helicopter and brought the kids over."

Professor X rolled down the car window and said irritably, "Russell, you guys go to the lab. I can still try a little harder."
