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

Chapter 17 is nothing more than a dying old wolf!

Logan stared at the message on his phone and typed, "What do you want to do?"

Over the years, he has served many clients, including some careless ones who would leave things in their cars and only send messages later to inquire about their whereabouts.

Although Logan hasn't been working these past few days, it's possible that some guys are only now realizing they've lost something.

Soon, the other party replied, "I hope you can help me send someone away."

Logan was taken aback. San Antonio has no shortage of Uber drivers. In all his years in the industry, this was the first time someone had specifically asked him to drive.

After a moment's thought, Logan declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I've left the Uber driver industry. If you need someone else, you can ask them."

However, as soon as the message was sent, the other party quickly replied, "Wolverine, please, I have no other choice but to ask for your help. No one else can protect her safety."

Upon seeing the words "Wolverine," Logan's pupils constricted sharply.

The other party knows who I am!

Although many people know the name Wolverine, and it has even been adapted into various children's comics.

But nowadays, very few people can find themselves and recognize their own identity!

Logan looked serious and quickly typed, "Who are you?"

Logan needs to figure out why the other party has approached him, or he might be in even greater danger!

"My name is Gabriela, and I am a nurse."

The other party typed a reply, and judging from the speed of their response, they seemed very anxious: "I have a child named Laura with me who urgently needs to get to North Dakota. We need your help, please! Otherwise, she will be in great danger. Please help us!"

"Lola?"

Logan was stunned, his mind went blank for a moment, and vague memories that had been hidden deep in his mind for a long time were gradually awakened because of this familiar name.

It took Logan a while to come to his senses.

He recalled some details of the story of the elderly Wolverine from before he traveled through time.

He now has a daughter in this world named Laura Ginny.

Of course, many people may find this name unfamiliar, and most people prefer to call her X23.

Although Laura is nominally his daughter, she is not his biological child.

She was created in a mutant experimental facility by Dr. Rice through some cruel methods, combining Logan's genes with her own to create a new generation of mutants.

X23 was her lab number, and Laura Ginny was the name given to her by the nurse who cared for her.

"I didn't expect Gabriela to arrive with Laura so quickly."

Logan muttered to himself in a low voice.

Knowing about Wolverine's later years, he wasn't surprised by Laura's appearance.

He also knew that if he didn't handle Laura's problem properly, he, the professor, and Caliban could all be implicated and die in this war of transition!

At this moment, Logan suddenly realized that since Gabriela had brought Laura to Santa Fe, Donald Beers was very likely there as well!

In an instant, Logan realized the seriousness of the situation.

Donald Pierce is a hunter who specializes in capturing mutants for the laboratory. He has a powerful mercenary group and various heavy weapons, including armed helicopters.

He even has the highest authorization from the government, and as long as his mission is to capture mutants, his armed helicopters can roam freely in all parts of the United States!

This is definitely a very dangerous enemy!

Just as Logan was pondering this, his phone vibrated again, and another message from Gavlev arrived.

"Logan, time is running out, we need your help!"

Looking at the text message on his phone, Logan quickly replied, "Don't worry, I'll help escort Lola, but not now. You have to hide with Lola. Donald is searching the whole city right now, and even the slightest movement could attract his attention. I can't meet with you at such a dangerous time. I'll contact you when I have the chance."

Logan would never have agreed so hastily if he didn't know Laura's identity.

Now that Logan knows that Laura is his daughter, he can't just sit idly by, even if her appearance wasn't his wish.

But she does have her own genes, and Logan understands the importance of new mutants to the race and to his future plans.

However, now is indeed not a good time to meet.

Donald's power is greater than they imagined; he has many ways to obtain information and may even be cooperating with the government.

If he comes to Santa Fe, he will likely find out that Wolverine is also there.

This is extremely dangerous for both Logan and Professor X!

Gabriela seemed somewhat taken aback when Logan readily agreed, and after a while, she replied, "We are currently hiding in a motel outside Santa Fe, and we are safe for the time being."

She had expected that begging Logan for help would be a difficult process.

Logan's quick agreement surprised her for a moment, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Logan replied, "Please be very careful and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary. I will contact you when the time is right."

After replying, Logan turned off his phone and tossed it onto the bedside table.

Too much has happened today: Chris's threats, Laura's pleas for help, and Donald lurking in the shadows—Logan must handle it all with care.

Logan, overwhelmed by inner turmoil, took a cigarette from the pack on his bedside table and lit it. The crimson flame stood out starkly in the room.

Logan, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked serious.

"What should we do now...?"

Amidst the swirling smoke, Logan muttered to himself.

Gabriela's appearance undoubtedly disrupted all his plans.

Originally, he only needed to deal with the Lawrence family, which was a bit difficult, but he was confident he could handle it.

After all, the awakening of his new abilities gave him hope that his self-healing factor could be repaired. Once he fully recovered, a local financial family would not pose too much of a threat to him.

But now, in addition to the Lawrence family, there's also that treacherous and cunning Donald.

This put Logan in a desperate situation.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Chris: James, no, Logan, I hope I didn't bother you, but there's something I forgot to mention. You know the Lawrence family estate, right? If you don't, you can ask around. I'm sure most people know the address. I mean, you need to come over tomorrow, how about 11 a.m.? I'll have someone waiting for you at the gate.

Logan looked at the text message Chris sent and was momentarily surprised, wondering what the guy was up to now.

But given that he now had leverage over Logan, he simply couldn't refuse his invitation...

……

The Lawrence family was not at peace tonight either. The arrival of the two distinguished guests required Mr. Lawrence and Chris, two of the wealthiest businessmen in Santa Fe, to come forward together to receive them.

"Welcome, Dr. Rice, Mr. Donald."

In the drawing room of Lawrence Manor, Chris warmly stepped forward and embraced the two of them.

Mr. Lawrence and Dr. Rice had previously collaborated, so they were not strangers.

Chris invited them to sit down, and after the servants served tea, Lawrence dismissed all the servants, leaving only the four of them in the magnificent hall.

"I've heard that Dr. Rice's job is quite demanding. I guess he's in Santa Fe City because of Wolverine."

Lawrence sat on the soft sofa, an expensive cigar between his fingers, squinting at Rice across from him.

Rice, who had originally intended to drink tea, was taken aback. She abruptly looked up, quite surprised, and asked, "You mean Logan Howlett is also in Santa Fe City?"

Hearing this question, Lawrence and Chris were taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "It seems I guessed wrong. But Wolverine is indeed stationed in Santa Fe City. We just met him a few days ago. He's not doing well; he looks like a dying old wolf."

Donald toyed with his robotic arm and sneered, "We're here for a little guy, a new product from our lab."

After a pause, Donald realized what was happening and turned to Rice, saying, "Doctor, it seems that Gabriela may have found out about Wolverine's presence through some special means and came here specifically to seek Wolverine's help. After all... that little guy has Wolverine's genes."

"That makes sense. I was originally thinking of asking the Lawrence family for help in searching for that little guy, but it seems that's no longer necessary. Keep an eye on Wolverine, and we might be able to find the little guy's location soon."

Dr. Rice nodded.

He instructed Donald, "Go and question Wolverine. If you get the information, great. If not, don't worry. We might be able to lure that little guy out through him."

Chris quickly waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble yourself, I've already informed him, he'll be here tomorrow."

This surprised Rice. "He's willing to follow your orders?"

Rice hates Logan.

But he also knew Logan's character quite well; that guy wouldn't willingly take orders from others.

Chris gave a sinister smile. "We have something on him; he won't dare disobey."

Lawrence squinted and interjected, "Dr. Rice, I hope you won't make things too difficult for him when he comes tomorrow. After all, he's a useful tool; he can help us solve a lot of trouble."

Dr. Rice chuckled. "Of course, our current target is just that little guy. As for Wolverine, you can keep him for now."

In his view, the greatest value of an excellent mutant is lying on a cold bed in a laboratory.

For Mr. Science, for Mr. Humanity, squeeze out the last remaining value!
