Red Devil instinctively wanted to teleport away, but the mental power tightly entangled his perception, causing his teleportation ability to lag by half a second.
Just this half second of time was already enough.
Logan’s figure violently shot out from the shadow, like a lone wolf that had been crouching and waiting for a long time.
He stepped on the Bagua Step under his feet, his figure so fast that only a residual shadow remained, and the three Adamantium steel claws on his right hand all popped out, flashing a trace of cold light under the dim lighting.
This claw was fast and vicious, aiming straight for Red Devil’s heart from behind.
Red Devil was scared out of his wits, trying his utmost to lean his body to the side.
The steel claws brushed past his shoulder, tearing open a wound so deep the bone was visible, and fresh blood instantly gushed out.
“It’s you!” Red Devil was both shocked and angry, recognizing Logan.
He had heard Raven say that it was this guy who killed Magneto, but he didn’t expect the opponent to actually hide here, and even less did he expect the opponent to actually have mental abilities!
“Quite a fast reaction.” Logan landed, shook off the blood droplets on his claws, and the corner of his mouth curved into a sneer, “Pity, still a bit too slow.”
Red Devil covered the wound on his shoulder, his gaze gloomy enough to drip water.
He knew he had fallen today; the guy opposite him not only had a formidable physical body, but actually also had mental interference, specifically countering his teleportation.
Continuing to fight wouldn’t bring any good, leaving first was the best policy!
As soon as the intention to retreat rose in his heart, his figure flickered and he was about to activate teleportation.
But the moment he mobilized his ability, a sharp pain struck his head again, and illusions arose everywhere.
Before his eyes, it was alternately the scene of Magneto’s miserable death and countless steel claws stabbing towards him, and the coordinates of his teleportation were completely messed up.
“Mental ability… How could you have mental ability?!” Red Devil was shocked and suspicious, shouting out in a hoarse voice.
Logan couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him, taking advantage of his illness to take his life.
His figure rushed out once more, his left hand forming a fist, using the collapsing fist of Baji Quan, carrying the force of a thousand jun to fiercely smash towards Red Devil’s face.
Red Devil barely dodged to the side, the fist flying past his cheek, and the resulting gale made his skin sting with pain.
Just as he wanted to counterattack, Logan’s right claw had already swept across, with a tricky angle that sealed off all his retreats.
Clang——
In his haste, Red Devil crossed his arms to block.
The skin of his arms was as hard as iron, but in front of Adamantium, it was still not enough.
The steel claws deeply cut into his arms, and the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible.
“Ah——!” Red Devil let out a miserable scream.
Seizing the opportunity, Logan fully activated his mental illusions, pouring them all at once into his mind.
Red Devil’s eyes instantly became hollow, his body stiffening in place, unable to move.
Right now!
Logan’s gaze turned cold, pressing forward with his body, holding down Red Devil’s head with his left hand, and raising his right steel claw high, aiming right at his heart, fiercely stabbing down.
Hiss——
The steel claws pierced through the chest without any obstruction, protruding from the back.
Red Devil’s body twitched violently, his yellow pupils abruptly dilated, and large mouthfuls of fresh blood gushed out from his mouth.
He stared fixedly at Logan, his eyes full of unwillingness and disbelief, yet he could no longer utter a single word.
Logan pulled out the steel claws and casually flicked them.
Red Devil’s body collapsed softly, slamming onto the ground and kicking up a puff of dust.
‘Detected that killing the enemy dropped an x-factor, do you want to absorb it?’
The familiar prompt tone sounded in his mind, the corners of Logan’s mouth curled upward, and he chose yes without hesitation.
The next second, a warm wave of power poured into his body, flowing through his blood vessels to his whole body.
He could clearly feel that his spatial perception was rapidly improving, as if a door had been added to his mind; with just a thought, he could cross space and appear anywhere within his perception range.
Teleportation ability, acquired!
He silently sensed it; currently, the teleportation ability was only Epsilon-class, and a single teleportation distance was no more than a few dozen meters, unable to transmit over long distances yet, but the potential was Alpha-level.
As long as enough points were accumulated, sooner or later it could be upgraded to Red Devil’s level, or even stronger.
He made a fortune.
Logan was in a great mood and couldn’t help whistling.
He turned around and saw Emma standing not far away, looking at him with a puzzled expression on her face, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyes full of doubt.
“When did you get psychic abilities?” Emma couldn’t help asking, “I remember that in the past, besides healing and steel claws, you only had a bit more strength and sharper senses; you didn’t have mental-type abilities at all.”
Logan’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm.
He withdrew his steel claws, pulled out a cigar from his pocket, held it in his mouth, slowly lit it, and took a puff before vaguely saying, “Who told you I didn’t? I just didn’t have the chance to use it before.”
Emma obviously didn’t believe it, looking him up and down several times with her eyes full of suspicion: “Impossible. I’ve known you for so many years, don’t I know how much you’re worth? Besides, which Mutant suddenly acquires an extra ability acquired later on?” This story is hosted at g.com.
She was an expert in telepathy and knew inside and out about the ability system of Mutants.
Except for a very few special cases, the vast majority of Mutants only had one ability in their entire lives.
For someone like Logan who already had a healing factor and super-strong physical fitness to magically gain a mental ability on top of that was simply unheard of.
“The World is so big, there are all sorts of wonders.” Logan gave a haha and refused to say more, “Alright, the person has been dealt with, and you’re safe too. He won’t come to trouble you anymore in the future.”
Seeing that he refused to talk, Emma didn’t pursue it further.
Everyone had secrets, and she had them too.
Only the doubt in her heart grew deeper.
What on earth had this guy experienced in the past two years?
The change was just too huge.
She walked over to Red Devil’s corpse, lowered her head to take a look, and only after confirming that the other party was completely dead did she thoroughly heave a sigh of relief.
“With this guy dead, it saves quite a bit of trouble.” Emma raised her head and looked at Logan, “However, what should be done with his corpse? Just leave it lying here?”
“You find someone to handle it later.” Logan gave her a look like she was an idiot and said, “This guy looks so abstract, are you afraid that others won’t know a Mutant died here?”
Emma nodded and made a phone call.
The two walked side by side out of the warehouse, the sea breeze blowing against their faces, carrying the coolness of the night.
Moonlight spilled onto the sea surface, sparkling.
“Thank you so much this time.” Emma turned her head to look at him, her tone much softer than before, “Tell me, what thank-you gift do you want? As long as it’s something I can do.”
Logan turned his head, taking advantage of the moonlight to size up her exquisite profile, the corner of his mouth curving into a bad smile, “Really anything is okay?”
As soon as Emma saw this expression of his, she knew nothing good was coming out, and rolled her eyes at him, “Be serious.”
“Very serious ah.” Logan smiled and shrugged, “How about this, accompany me to a meal tomorrow, treat it as the thank-you gift. I’ll pick the place, you pay.”
Emma was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
Under the moonlight, her cold and glamorous brows and eyes softened quite a bit, unexpectedly possessing a breathtaking beauty.
“Alright.” She agreed instantly, “Not to mention one meal, ten meals are fine.”
Logan whistled, his mood becoming even better.
Ability acquired, a date with a beauty—spending a holiday like this was simply too comfortable.
