American comic book: The Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 645 Pressing forward step by step

"Fake."

He stopped silently, and the hand pushing Charles' wheelchair trembled slightly. James's face was full of anger and unwillingness at this moment.

Looking up at the sky, James tried to find traces of his luxury car, but there were no clues, as if everything just now was just a dream.

Recalling the girl's mutant ability, James instantly speculated on the possibility that the two girls might have snatched his car away, and they had no intention of staying to help him.

When they saw these mercenaries, they left here immediately. They had the ability to control the flight of a car. No one could keep them if they wanted to leave.

"Damn it!" Clenching his fists, James bit his teeth and drew blood.

On the opposite side, looking at James whose expression changed drastically, Pierce showed a smile.

He first raised his hand to appease the mercenaries around him and told them not to act rashly, and then he took a step alone and walked towards James and Charles.

"Logan." Charles looked at the scene in front of him and spoke slightly.

"I'm trying to figure it out." James frowned.

"Logan, what happened?" Charles was a little nervous.

"Can you please be quiet?"

James replied, and then he walked directly in front of Charles and protected him behind him, while he faced the oncoming Pierce.

"Wow - Charles Xavier, the United States government's most wanted fugitive."

Pierce whistled, glanced at Charles with interest, then chuckled and moved his eyes to James.

"Logan, we meet again."

"This is private property. You have no right to invade this land, bastard." James stared at Pierce with a cold face.

"I know." Pierce was not at all frightened by Logan's murderous gaze, and he said with a smile. "I'm sure this place belongs to a multinational refining company headquartered in Shanghai, but do you think they can protect it for a lifetime?"

Seeing that James remained silent, Pierce smiled even more. He adjusted his sunglasses and looked at Charles behind James.

"It's so tragic. The incident that happened in the east, you know, the Academy of Sciences has classified this old man's brain as a weapon of mass destruction. Do you know how useful it will be on the battlefield?"

"." James didn't speak, but just showed his claws.

"Don't get excited Logan, as I said when we last met, my target is not you, nor this old man, at least not now. I am not in the mood to help the government. Their offer is too little."

"What do you want to do?"

"Intruder!" Pierce shouted.

With a long sigh, Pierce shook his head and calmed down again.

"I have already talked to you about this matter. Our world is being invaded. In fact, protecting the security of the world should be what you should have done before, but now, this chore has fallen to me. Isn't it very Satire?"

Listening to Pierce's words silently, James no longer had the desire to chat with him. He was now thinking about how to get Charles and Caliban out safely.

After thinking for a moment, James said softly.

"I promise you, if I see those intruders you mentioned, I will contact you."

"Really?" Pierce raised his eyebrows. "Then why don't you tell us what happened that night and who buried those little gangsters underground."

Pursing his lips, James hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly. "It's a man with green hair. I don't know who he is and I don't want to cause trouble."

"The man with green hair." Pierce frowned and held his chin in thought.

It seemed that he was thinking about the authenticity of the information revealed by James, and this also put great pressure on old James.

Sweat covered his forehead, James didn't speak, he just stood there quietly, waiting for Pierce's reaction.

Finally, after a cup of tea, Pierce nodded slowly.

"Very useful clue, thank you."

James relaxed slightly. "Can we leave?"

"Of course, please feel free to do so. After all, I am your big fan." Pierce smiled and casually made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, James didn't know what the other party was up to for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about those messy things at the moment. After a moment of pause, he turned his head to push Charles and walked straight towards Pierce. .

Pierce, on the other hand, didn't react at all. Even the mercenaries separated their formations and made way for James and Charles to leave, as if they really had no interest in the two old men in front of them.

But just as Caliban was carrying a big bag and quickly keeping up with James, Pierce suddenly stood in front of him.

"Angang~ You can't leave."

"what?"

James' head snapped back.

Looking at Pierce who stopped Caliban, James frowned slightly.

"I know who you are, Caliban, one of the founders of the underground organization Morlocks. You have the superpower to detect the X-factor gene. I heard that you used to be a black marketeer. How come you are now so depressed that you become the guardian of an old man? ?”

Pierce looked at Caliban, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling in front of him, and tapped the other person's chest.

"I, I don't understand what you are talking about." Caliban was a little nervous. He replied quickly, and then looked at Logan for help. "Pierce, I have given you the information. Let him go. This is what you promised just now!" James shouted angrily.

Pierce, on the other hand, stretched out his finger and shook it. "Don't get me wrong, Old Wolf, I just meant to allow you and Charles to leave, but Mr. Caliban is not among them."

"What?!" James frowned.

"The intruders are basically carriers of the X factor. In other words, they are all mutants, and they are the most dangerous and vicious mutants."

Pierce turned back, looked at Logan and sneered. "You don't want the incident in the east to break out again. These outsiders are time bombs and can hurt innocent people at any time, so we want to solve this trouble as soon as possible."

Pierce pointed to Caliban.

"I need this guy to work for me and find those intruders."

"What, what intruder?" Caliban had no idea what riddle the two people in front of him were playing. He looked at Wolverine uneasily. "Logan, what the hell is going on?"

"Don't you understand, Caliban, our world is being invaded by other strange parallel universes. In places you don't know, countless invaders have descended on the earth."

Pierce raised his hand and patted Caliban on the shoulder and continued. "We are here to invite you to be a hero. As long as you are willing to help us locate the mutant invaders from other universes, then you will be the hero to save the world."

However, after hearing these words, Caliban showed a self-deprecating smile under his mask.

He did not doubt the authenticity of Pierce's words, because the other party did not need to deceive him about this kind of thing, and it was very easy to verify.

But Caliban is not the ignorant little bastard he once was.

"You, you want me to help you catch other mutants?"

"That's understandable." Pierce smiled.

not far away.

James looked at Caliban who was extremely flustered, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he had always looked down on the albino Caliban, he had to admit that without Caliban's existence all these years, I am afraid that he alone would not be able to take care of Charles, let alone go out and make money.

Now leaving him here alone and leaving him in the hands of Pierce, James is completely unwilling.

Pierce seemed to notice this, he smiled and said. "Is there anything to hesitate about? If I remember correctly, when Tianqi came to you, you agreed very happily."

"This is different." Caliban frowned. "I will not help you capture my people."

"So, you want to reject me?"

Pierce casually pulled out a pistol from his waist and loaded it in front of everyone.

"Pierce! How dare you!"

Seeing this scene, Old James suddenly burst into laughter.

"Logan, I advise you not to look for trouble. I have already mercifully let you go. You must know that you are worth a lot of money on the wanted list."

Pierce turned his head, stared at Logan indifferently, and said every word.

"Just think about it for Charles, do you want both of you to die here, or do you want to trade this guy's life for your two lives."

"I"

James was speechless for a moment.

He looked at the threatened Caliban with trembling eyes, feeling very tormented in his heart.

"Logan, Logan"

At this moment, Charles grabbed the hem of Logan's clothes and pulled hard.

But Logan was in no mood to care about Charles at the moment. He suddenly stretched out his paws and strode quickly towards Pierce.

Looking at Logan walking towards him with murderous intent, Pierce's eyes flashed with panic for a moment, but he was quickly suppressed.

"What, do you want to give up your two lives because of this guy? I have already told you to leave safely."

"Don't say such nice things." James grabbed Pierce's collar and pointed his sharp claws straight at Pierce's face. "Do you think I don't know who you are working for? Do you think I don't know what you are doing secretly?"

Pierce was caught by Logan, but he wasn't too scared.

He first raised his hand to signal the mercenaries in the distance not to fire, and then looked at Logan.

"So, you've met Gabriel."

James didn't speak, just stared at Pierce coldly.

"That woman let go of a bunch of mutant experimental subjects and left with a little girl. To be honest, I really didn't expect that she would be able to find you.

I admit, I did do some bad things before, but now, Gabriel and X-23 are not under my control, my goal is just to find those intruders. "

Pierce smiled.

"It's useless even if you kill me. If we can't find the intruder, more people will come."
