Chapter 136: Freedom Island

  Wolverine's rebellious and lone wolf personality made him unwilling to join the X-Men from the start.

  At this moment, Professor X's inquiry was met with a few cold laughs from Wolverine.

  He strode out of the door, and Storm followed him without hesitation. She didn't know why she was doing this, but she felt like she had to keep Wolverine behind.

  She called out to Wolverine as she chased him down the stairs.

  "Logan, you can't act alone!"

  "Wolverine didn't even turn his head back, he just kept walking forward and said: 'Who can help me? You guys are only good for causing trouble.'"

  "Help us, fight with us!" Stormy pleaded with him.

  "Join you?" Wolverine stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Storm behind him with a somewhat disdainful expression. "X-Men? Please, don't forget that you're mutants, this world is full of humans who fear and hate you, and you're still wasting time protecting them? I'm not that bored."

  Seeing Storm unable to speak, Wolverine shook his head and continued walking forward. He had only taken a few steps when he stopped again and turned back to look at her.

  "Wan Cimang was right, war is approaching, and you chose the right camp?"

  Faced with Wolverine's inquiry, Storm suddenly recalled the man who claimed to be Huang Quan in the forest five months ago, and she couldn't help but hesitate, the words that had just reached her lips unable to be spoken.

  Is your own choice really right?

  Wolverine saw Storm silent again, sighed and shook his head, walking straight forward.

  But he had just opened the door when his whole body froze.

  Outside the door was a disheveled middle-aged white man, who looked like he had just been soaked to the bone. His entire appearance was utterly bedraggled.

  "I'm looking for Dr. Kaito Gure." he said breathlessly.

  As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have lost his last bit of strength and fell forward. If Wolverine hadn't caught him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

  "Is... that Councilor Kelly?" Storm walked over, looking at the councilor lying on Wolverine's chest with a puzzled expression, her tone somewhat uncertain.

  She had seen Councilor Kelly's image on TV, but she had to say that the Councilor Kelly on TV was neat and tidy, with his hair combed perfectly, compared to the person in front of her, it was simply worlds apart.

  "He said he was going to find a piano," Wolverine replied, turning back to her.

  "Hurry up and take him to the basement, his condition doesn't seem too good." Storm quickly turned around to find Professor X and the others, while Wolverine had no choice but to abandon his plan to leave immediately and instead helped this suspected Senator Kelly guy to the basement.

  ……

  Magneto was unaware that his plan had been exposed due to Senator Kelly's involvement and under the X-Men's analysis, his entire plan was basically completely identified by them.

  "Tonight, the good show is about to begin." Lin Xiao held his wine glass and stood on the balcony, gazing up at the night sky. Behind him were the 7 third-level variants who had stayed by his side, while the other second-level variants remained scattered in various corners of New York City, not having been recalled by Lin Xiao.

  "Wait a moment, you few follow me to Freedom Island, tonight there's a good show to watch." Lin Xiao calmly instructed his subordinates.

  The 7 third-level variants who stayed by his side, although not the strongest among his third-level variants, undoubtedly had special abilities, such as the air spirit's control over air, the water spirit's control over ***, and the sound spirit's control over sound, all of which were special control-type abilities.

  "Great leader, will we need to help Wanji King deal with X War Police at that time?" Qi Yao asked cautiously.

  She knew Lin Xiao didn't like his subordinates asking too many questions, but she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and wanted to ask.

  "Help Wanji Wang?" Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head, turning to face the 7 of them. "When the time comes, you all just listen to my orders. I haven't given you permission to take action, none of you are allowed to make a move, got it?"

  Seven people nodded hastily upon hearing this.

  "Shouldn't Professor X have fallen for it by now?" Lin Xiao thought to himself as he gazed up at the night sky.

  At the same time, Professor X at X Academy used the brain wave controller again to find Xiaotiao's whereabouts. However, just as he put on the headset, a severe stabbing pain suddenly appeared, and then he only felt black in front of his eyes, and everything went dark.

  When the X-Men found him, he had thoroughly fainted, fortunately his life was not in danger, which made a group of X-Men breathe a sigh of relief.

  On the other hand, Magneto has set off with his followers, bringing with them a massive machine. They are traveling by ship to Liberty Island, where Magneto plans to install the machine on top of the Statue of Liberty. Once activated, the machine's energy will envelop the entire island, and leaders from over 200 countries around the world, as well as other participants, will be transformed into mutants.

  The magnet king seemed to have foreseen the moment of his own success.

  Free Island.

  Lin Xiao had never been to this place which represented American freedom of will before.

  Under the night sky, the eight of them appeared at the foot of the Statue of Liberty like silver foxes in the dark night, with a speed that ordinary people could not reach.

  Lin Xiao had already sensed the aura of Wanji Wang, who was right above him. At the same time, he also felt more than a dozen other auras of variant humans, all of which were filled with ferocity, and were obviously underlings of Wanji Wang.

  Lin Xiao always felt that Wang's subordinates were too self-righteous. Last time he went to his place, those few subordinates of his had an air of superiority, compared to them, his own subordinates were much more low-key.

  "Is this probably birds of a feather flocking together?" Lin Xiao thought to himself.

  Without turning back, Lin Xiao directly ordered the 7 subordinates behind him: "Later I'll take you up there, remember not to make a sound, just quietly watch. Hidden Demon, help us hide our figures."

  A white woman with a beautiful golden long hair nodded behind her back, and as soon as she moved her mind, Lin Xiao and the other eight people seemed to disappear out of thin air.

  In fact, they didn't leave the position at all, and under Lin Xiao's mental power, the eight of them slowly flew higher and higher until they surpassed the height of the Statue of Liberty, only stopping after a distance of several hundred meters.

  From this position, you can see everything happening on top of the Statue of Liberty very well.

  "This is also the first real battle between X-Men and Magneto, right? Of course, it's also my first battle with them." Lin Xiao looked at Magneto and his team who were busy on the other side, and couldn't help but secretly look forward to what would happen next.
