American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants.

Chapter 100: Suspicious by nature, advice from a weirdo

In fact, Logan has never really trusted Maca. From the time he entered the farm until now, he is still extremely wary of Maca.

It’s not that Macka didn’t do a good enough job.

He was able to create a safe shelter under the current situation and provide adequate food and clothing for more than 130 mutants in the shelter. This was enough for Logan to recognize Maca's ability.

But recognition is one thing, and whether to defend against it is another.

The shelter needs help, and Logan will do his best to help, but if these tasks will bring great danger to himself, Logan will not carry them out.

He is suspicious by nature and has never trusted others easily over the years. It is also because of this character that he has been able to live a stable life for nearly two hundred years.

However, Marcus and his companions were obviously different from Logan. They did not consider the danger of taking the scepter away, but instead were disappointed in the failure of the mission.

On the way back, everyone was in a very low mood and remained silent in the car. Even Klaus, who was usually talkative, now kept his mouth shut, which was rare, and sighed from time to time.

After Logan said a few appropriate words of comfort, he didn't say anything more. Now he still had to worry about how to deal with Maca.

Before setting off back, Logan informed Maca of the current situation and reported the failure of the mission.

When Maca received the news, his tone on the phone was very bad, and Logan could even sense the swear words he wanted to say but stopped.

Fortunately, he did not have the audacity to let Logan and his men attack the Avengers to take back the scepter. Instead, he ordered them to come back quickly, as if he wanted to wait for them to come back for a interview.

After returning to the farm exhausted, I ran into Luna who was leading a patrol before I even entered the door.

"You are finally back."

Luna was very happy that they returned safely and went forward to greet them warmly.

However, due to the failure of the mission, Marcos and his companions were in low spirits, and they simply nodded in response to Luna's enthusiasm.

Lorna also noticed that the atmosphere was not right and looked at Logan in surprise, "Not going well?"

Logan nodded, "The mission failed. We were unable to retrieve the cargo."

Lorna was not surprised by this. She had also heard about Logan and his team's failure. Looking at the depressed people, she sighed and comforted them, "No one can be successful all the time. Even if you fail this time, there will always be next time."

Logan looked at it with an open mind and nodded.

"By the way, Macka told you to go to his office when you come back. He will be waiting for you there."

After saying that, she looked at the patrol team members behind her, then walked to Logan and whispered, "Be careful, Maca's mood is not right."

Logan nodded, "Got it."

After saying that, he took Victor and others to Maca's office.

At this time, Maca was sitting at his desk. Because of his inner irritability, he couldn't bear to read the documents on the desk. The desk was covered with messy documents.

When he saw Logan and his companions coming in, he stood up suddenly and stared at them with red eyes.

"This mission has caused great losses to the shelter!"

He suppressed his inner anger, gritted his teeth and looked at Logan and the others, his voice bursting out of his throat, his fist tightly clenched a document, and his arms were full of blue veins.

"Logan, I trusted you and gave you such an important task, but you messed it up!"

He looked at Logan angrily, his throat trembling and some swear words about to come out, but he finally suppressed them. However, the anger in his eyes showed his disappointment.

Logan was about to speak, but Victor on the side couldn't help it, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "What are you angry about? What qualifications do you have to be angry?"

After saying that, he ripped off his clothes, revealing the horrific wound on his chest that was hard to look at. The hideous wound has not fully healed until now, and there is not a single piece of healthy flesh on the entire chest.

He pointed at his chest and shouted, "Did we not try our best? Look carefully at what this is. I was almost killed by that iron guy's cannon!"

"And that big green guy, the reinforced concrete trenches are like tofu dregs in front of him, they are shattered with one hit. That Thor, with one blow of his hammer, even the tanks were overturned. Do you expect us to snatch the goods from them?!"

Victor stared at Maca with anger on his face. "You only care about the losses, but do you know that we almost all died there? We worked so hard to help you, and you still have the nerve to be angry?!"

Listening to Victor's angry curse, Maca's face changed and he gritted his teeth, "I know the situation was very dangerous, but the failure of this mission will bring us a huge amount of liquidated damages, which will be a huge loss for the shelter!"

After listening to Maca's words, Victor became even more angry. "Okay, since you only care about the losses and don't care about our lives, then let's go. You follow me. We will go directly to Washington and ask the Avengers to take the goods. I want to show you that the iron guy's shells are more dangerous, or the penalty is more dangerous!"

After saying that, Victor actually wanted to go forward and pull Maca.

Logan quickly reached out to stop him, glared at him and signaled him not to speak.

He knew very well what Macka was thinking now. As a guy who was determined to expand the shelter and shelter more mutants, what he needed most right now was money. This loss made him one step further away from his lifelong wish.

Logan said helplessly: "There is no way. The goods were hidden too deep by those guys. We really can't find them, and we don't have that much time to look for them. We really tried our best."

"Besides, all parties are eyeing that thing. Even if we can get it, let alone a few of us, I'm afraid the entire farm will be targeted by SHIELD, Hydra, and some other forces ready to make a move."

Logan sighed and shook his head, explaining the danger of the Mind Scepter, "That thing is a bomb that can raze us to the ground at any time. It's too dangerous to bring it back."

After hearing these words, Maca's expression changed, and he looked at Logan and the others with a very deep look in his eyes. After a long time, perhaps because he remembered that he still needed Logan and the others, or perhaps because he remembered that this was indeed not Logan and the others' responsibility, he slumped back in his chair with a look of loss, shaking his head and sighing.

"you are right."

Maca looked at Logan with a disappointed look on his face, "You can't blame all of this defeat on you. I am also responsible."

"I didn't expect that thing would be targeted by both SHIELD and Hydra at the same time. This is my failure in intelligence."

After Maca finished speaking, he waved his hand with a tired look on his face, "I will deal with the follow-up impact of this matter, you guys go back and rest first."

Looking at Maca's appearance, Logan shook his head helplessly and left the office with Victor and the others.

"McKa must be very disappointed with us this time."

On the way back to the residential area, Marcos lowered his head and shook his head and sighed. He understood that Maca must be in a state of panic now.

"Man, you're really loyal to him."

Victor on the side snorted, "This was originally a mistake in his intelligence. If we had known that the Avengers and Hydra valued that thing so much, we could have made a more thorough plan."

Marcos and his companions also understood this. Although the failure was not their responsibility, they still could not be happy. After all, this matter concerned the interests of the entire shelter.

Victor was speechless at their appearance, and spoke again: "Besides, that thing is so dangerous, you have seen it, almost all the Avengers are dispatched, if we really want to bring it back, do you think this shelter can withstand the attack of those lunatics?"

He knew very well that taking that thing would only bring more terrible danger.

Even Hydra's heavily guarded castle has been captured. If they really have that thing hidden in their shelter, there is no need for all the Avengers to be dispatched. Hulk's charge alone is enough to destroy the entire farm.

“That’s no excuse.”

Klaus turned around and retorted to Victor, "Our mission is to bring the things back. Even if there is danger, I believe Maika can handle it. He never makes mistakes."

"you……"

Victor was speechless, he didn't expect this group of people would worship Macka to this extent. They were Hydra and the Avengers, plus a SHIELD. How many lives did Macka have to deal with those guys?

Logan pulled Victor and signaled him to stop talking. He understood the loss of these people and their blind worship of Maca.

Now they will only obey Maca's orders unconditionally, which is something Logan cannot change at the moment.

"Okay, go back and rest for a few days, and we'll talk later."

Logan spoke to the crowd.

Along the way, everyone stopped talking and returned home in silence.

As soon as he entered the house, Victor couldn't help but complain, "These people trust Maca too much, just like believers."

Logan shook his head. "I can understand that. After all, he is the one who feeds them. If it weren't for him, 90% of the people here would be in the lab or in prison."

Maca created the shelter so that this group of people could live in a normal environment. For those living in despair, he brought them hope and was a savior. It was normal for the people in the shelter to respect him.

Then Logan added: "Maybe this was just a simple error in judgment."

After saying this, his expression became profound. He looked at the farm outside the window and murmured, "Maybe."

At this time, Caliban pushed Charles out of the room.

They heard Logan and Victor's movements.

Laura also came out with them.

Logan looked at the time and asked in surprise, "Aren't there any classes today?"

Normally, school isn't over yet at this time.

"Today's the weekend."

Charles smiled and said, "You can't expect us to be in class seven days a week. Even if the children can bear it, my old bones can't stand it."

Laura on the side came up and hugged Logan, saying happily: "I came to chat with the professor. He told a lot of stories about you."

Logan rubbed the girl's cute little head affectionately and said, "Let him tell you later, okay? I need to talk to the professor about something now." The girl nodded sensibly, let go of Logan, and ran to the sofa to turn on the TV.

Logan pushed Charles into the room and closed the door.

"What's wrong? What difficulties did you encounter?"

Charles looked at Logan's cautious look, somewhat puzzled.

Logan didn't say anything, but took out two bottles of super soldier serum and showed them to Charles.

Looking at the light blue serum, Charles was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"Super Soldier Serum."

Logan explained, "It can enhance a person's physique. Both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. are researching this thing. I brought back five of them. I gave three to Victor and these two are for you."

Hearing the name of the serum, Charles was stunned at first, and then said in astonishment: "It's this thing."

Charles had heard about the secret research project of super soldier serum a long time ago. He knew that this thing was an extremely valuable asset for any laboratory. He did not expect that Logan could bring back so much.

Logan nodded. "But this thing is only a defective version at the moment. It can't completely change your condition, but it still has some effects. At least you shouldn't lose your air space again in the short term."

After that, he took out a tube of serum and asked, "Do you want to inject it now?"

Charles looked at the serum and hesitated, "It's such a waste to give it to me."

He knew how valuable the serum was. Now, he was just an old man in his twilight years, and it was not appropriate for him to waste such a precious thing.

"You are much more important than this."

Logan smiled, then lifted up Charles' sleeve, opened the serum and injected it into him.

The light blue liquid entered Charles' body, but after only one-third of it was injected, Logan pulled out the needle.

"Just inject this much this time. You can't rush this."

Logan was worried about whether Charles' current body could withstand the serum flushing. To be on the safe side, he could only inject it slowly in small amounts and multiple times.

The professor nodded in understanding, feeling the vitality of the serum in his body.

Although it wasn't much, it made him feel full, and his physical fatigue seemed to have been reduced a lot.

Logan carefully put away the serum and hid it under the cabinet in Charles' room. He covered it with something and said, "We can't tell anyone else about this. No one except Victor knows about the existence of the serum. We have to keep it secret, including Maca."

Charles nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't tell."

After a pause, he took the initiative to talk about Logan and his team's mission this time, "I heard that your mission failed, but I think this is a good thing. Maca was too reckless this time."

Logan nodded. "This time it is indeed dangerous, and I don't want things to become too complicated."

Charles nodded, and suddenly turned his head to look outside, his expression softened, "If you have time, spend more time with Laura. She needs company at her age. She not only needs to play with her friends, but also chat with her family."

He could see that the little girl already regarded them as her family and she really needed their company.

Logan nodded, "I will."

He also likes this girl very much.

After saying that, Logan opened the door and pushed Charles into the living room. At this time, Laura was staring at the TV, watching it very intently.

Logan thought for a moment, sat next to Laura and said with a smile: “Children can’t always watch TV. The nearby forest has nice scenery. I want to go for a walk. Do you want to accompany me?”

Hearing this, Laura threw down the remote control and said happily, “Let’s go!”

After saying that, he excitedly pulled Logan up and followed him out the door, skipping and jumping.

It can be seen that she is very willing to go out with Logan. When the two of them stand together, there is indeed a feeling of father and daughter accompanying each other.

Logan brought Laura to the nearby woods. The dense jungle was quiet and surrounded by fresh green grass. From time to time, some little squirrels stood on the branches and looked at them curiously.

The breeze blew through the woods, causing the rustling of leaves, and the air was unusually fresh.

The girl jumped in front of Logan, squatted down from time to time to tease the butterflies in the flowers, chased the hares that suddenly appeared, and played freely on the green grass.

Logan strolled behind her, staring at the girl's innocent appearance with a kind face.

"Laura, are you getting used to the shelter?"

He asked the girl.

Crouching in front of a tuft of grass, teasing ants with a grass path, Laura turned around and said with a smile, "Of course, there are friends here, TV, and delicious food. Everyone is very happy. I like it here very much."

Logan smiled. Compared to the laboratory where she had been staying before, this place was indeed a paradise.

Laura started talking, leaving the grass path and running to Logan. "Besides, you and the professor are all here. I can chat with you, play with the kids, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I don't want to leave here in my life."

Logan rubbed the little girl's head and nodded with a smile.

The two of them relaxed in this beautiful setting, lying on the grass and chatting for a long time.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the shaking of the trees in the forest made Logan alert.

He stood up suddenly and looked over there, while protecting Laura behind him.

A blue figure flashed through the woods and disappeared in an instant.

Is it the weirdo from before?

Logan narrowed his eyes and said with interest: "Laura, follow me, I will take you hunting."

"what?"

Laura was stunned for a moment, and by the time she reacted, Logan had already rushed forward.

Seeing this, Laura had no choice but to follow in a hurry.

Two figures, one big and one small, shuttled through the woods.

After a while, the two caught up with the blue figure running wildly in front of them, who was the weirdo from before.

After the weirdo ran deep into the woods, he stopped on his own initiative and turned to face Logan.

Laura caught up with him, showed her steel claws, and was about to pounce on him with her fangs bared.

"I have something to tell you."

The weirdo spoke calmly.

"Wait."

Logan saw the weirdo's intention and grabbed Laura's clothes to stop her charge.

"I didn't expect you to come back."

He narrowed his eyes at the weirdo, "You'd better have a reason to convince me to let you go."

The weirdo nodded, then remembered something and said, "I have something very important to tell you, but I need to make sure first, are you really Wolverine?"

brush.

Logan showed his steel claws, the silver claws flashing coldly, he stared at the weirdo and said, "It's genuine."

He could vaguely sense that the weirdo seemed to have something important to say.

The weirdo stared at Logan's steel claws with a frown.

"But my father said that Wolverine is dead."

Hearing this, Logan was stunned for a moment. After putting away his steel claws, he frowned and asked, "Who is your father?"

Judging from the tone of his voice, the other party's father seemed to know him.

"I can't tell you yet."

The weirdo shook his head and didn't intend to reveal it.

"Then stop talking nonsense."

Logan said coldly: "Speak to the point."

The weirdo looked at Logan, thought for a moment, and then said, "Whether you are Wolverine or not, you are obviously a newcomer to the shelter."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became very serious, and he warned solemnly: "Remember my words, don't believe anything Maca says!"
