American comic book: An aging Wolverine, doing whatever he wants.

Chapter 38 Escape and Resistance

Ultimately, the laser cannon was not restarted until Logan went home to rest.

Under Chris's arrangement, the security of the entire warehouse was almost comparable to that of the White House, leaving Logan with no opportunity to make a move.

The night was also very quiet. Perhaps Steve and his team did not receive the signal, or perhaps they did receive it but chose to wait for reinforcements.

In short, Logan did not witness the conflict he had imagined.

Logan could only wait and see for the time being, hoping for an opportunity to arise.

Several days passed before I could finish waiting.

During this time, Logan did not receive any more calls from Chris. The Lawrence family was clearly still wary of him. After adding enough guards, they stopped assigning him any tasks, and everything returned to normal.

Previously, Logan had to work tirelessly to earn money, driving Uber day and night. Now, however, he is financially well-off and not so busy. He can spend some time at home chatting with the professor and taking better care of him, which has slightly improved the professor's mood.

However, despite the apparent calm, Logan could still keenly sense that the Lawrence family seemed to be in big trouble.

When he went to Santa Fe to buy supplies, he always noticed that there were far fewer people on the streets than usual. Compared to the bustling streets of the past few days, they were unusually quiet, and there were even fewer news reports of robberies.

Logan also noticed that wherever Lawrence owned property, whether it was a hotel, a factory, or several logistics warehouses, there were a large number of guards patrolling nearby. Ordinary people couldn't even get close to the warehouses, and in serious cases, the guards would directly drive them away with guns.

With such a large commotion, Logan was certain that the Lawrence family was currently overwhelmed with troubles, and the entire family was on high alert.

A somber atmosphere permeated the entire city of Santa Fe.

Although Logan was also curious about the Lawrence family's troubles, he didn't ask anyone. He didn't want to get involved in this mess, and besides, the more chaotic the Lawrence family was, the better. A chaotic environment would always give him more opportunities to escape.

After several days of this somber atmosphere, Logan finally found his opportunity on his way home from shopping.

After Chris discovered that he was living in the old factory area, there were more pedestrians around the area and some cars parked on the roadside. Without a doubt, these were all informants of the Lawrence family.

Now, all those informants have vanished without a trace, and the area around the factory has returned to its previous deserted state.

Logan even drove around the factory several times to observe the surroundings, and finally confirmed that everyone had retreated.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of relief, as if the Lawrence family had really run into trouble.

Therefore, the escape plan could be put on the agenda.

Ding dong.

Logan's phone suddenly received a message. He picked it up and saw it was from Samuel: "James, where are you?"

"At home, what's up? Another mission?" Logan typed in response.

"No," Samuel replied quickly. "I guess Chris won't be able to assign us any tasks anytime soon; he's in big trouble right now."

"What do you mean? It's just a warehouse hijacking? Just add more guards, right? Besides, no weapons were lost. It's not a big problem for the Lawrence family."

Logan wanted to get some information out of Samuel, but he didn't ask directly; he wanted Samuel to tell him himself.

"It's not about the warehouse," Samuel revealed, as expected. "It's about the government. They seem to have offended the authorities, and the government is currently investigating the Lawrence family. It looks like they're really pushing their luck, and it probably won't be resolved anytime soon."

Before Logan could reply, Samuel sent another text message: "We've done things for Chris after all, and I'm not sure if this will affect us, but it's always good to be careful during this time, especially since you are... Anyway, just be careful of the officials."

Logan knew that this was a reminder to himself not to be found by the authorities, since Wolverine's name was still on the wanted list.

"Thank you, I will be careful."

Logan replied to the message and then quickly put down his phone.

He suddenly realized that now was the time to leave!

The Lawrence family is embroiled in numerous affairs, and some forces are secretly eyeing their lucrative assets. They have to deal with the authorities while also being careful that their businesses are not eroded by other forces during this opportunity.

It's easy to imagine that Mr. Lawrence and Chris are currently overwhelmed with their own problems and have no time to deal with Wolverine.

This was the perfect opportunity for him to escape!

With that in mind, Logan quickly drove home.

As soon as he entered, he said to Caliban, who was preparing lunch, "Stop doing that, pack your bags, and go get the professor out."

Caliban paused, looking at Logan packing his luggage in the living room, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Is your boss moving us to another place?"

"No." Logan shook his head, continuing to search for things they might need during their escape, and said without looking up, "We'll get rid of the Lawrence family tonight and leave this place."

Caliban was slightly taken aback, and after confirming he hadn't misheard, he asked in surprise, "You're not joking?"

He was very concerned about his safety and hated that Chris and his team would find his address. It felt like having a gun pointed at his head, with the possibility of being shot in the head at any moment.

He just didn't expect that the day he would get rid of all this would come so soon, and so suddenly.

"Hmm." Logan nodded. "The Lawrence family is in big trouble, and he doesn't have time for us right now."

"I've had enough of this place, you definitely won't regret this decision!"

Caliban threw down his cooking utensils, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "I'll go prepare right away; it'll be ready in half an hour!"

"No need to rush." ​​Logan picked up his wallet. "I need to go to the bank first."

Most of the money was in his card, and he had to withdraw it all.

After all, the card might be suspended for various reasons while on the run. Even if it isn't suspended, Chris can easily find his coordinates by checking his card swipe records.

Using cash can avoid a lot of big trouble.

After saying that, Logan rushed out to the nearest bank, withdrew all the funds from his card, and then quickly returned to his car. He took out his phone, found Gabriela's number, and sent her a text message to tell her to get ready so they could meet that night.

However, the phone rang immediately after the text message was sent; it was Gabriela calling.

Looking at his constantly vibrating phone, Logan hesitated for a moment. They had always communicated via text message and had never made a phone call before.

The sudden ringing of the phone made him vaguely uneasy. He hesitated before answering, and said in a deep voice, "Feed?"

"Uncle Wolf, you've really disappointed me."

Donald's voice came through the phone, along with a woman's painful groans as she desperately cried out, "Wolverine, save me and Laura!"
