The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 213 Chapter 342 Chapter 343 Dusk Wolf is old, can he still fight?! (Part )

"You were just frightened and had an attack..."

Logan Howlett scolded angrily, "If I hadn't arrived in time, you might have killed all the tourists in the casino."

"Logan, I know you actually prefer me when I'm talking nonsense like a madman after taking the medicine." Professor X said with a somewhat lonely and self-deprecating tone, like an old man disliked by his children.

"This way you can feel more at ease..."

"It's not easy."

Logan Howlett interrupted without mercy: "I've never felt at ease in all these years with you... Listen carefully, never!!"

Professor X seemed to have remembered something interesting, and instead of being angry, a bit of warmth and a smile appeared on his face, which had originally looked hopeless, and he complained:

"Hmph, this reminds me of a guy who loves to shirk responsibility. When he was young, he always habitually blamed his own mistakes on others..."

Logan Howlett glanced at the rearview mirror again, and seeing that his "persuasion" had finally worked, he continued to mock and say, "Oh, I see, Dad. Are you too disappointed in me?"

In fact, if calculated according to his real age, Logan Howlett could almost be considered Professor X's "ancestor".

But the other party is his life mentor whom he respects very much, so he always regards himself as a student in front of Professor X.

"Logan, I'm not kidding. Don't you still not understand why we sent Laura there?"

Logan Howlett was taken aback when he heard this. He had not expected Professor X to suddenly bring the topic back to this matter. He said with a gloomy face:

"Then tell me, besides the $3 deposit that stupid... woman paid me, what other reason do we have to do this?"

"Logan, open your eyes and take a good look. There is a newborn mutant sitting in our car right now."

Professor X seemed to hope that Logan could realize the deeper meaning of this, and continued to persuade him:

"Did you know? In the past decade or so, mutants have been dying one after another around the world, but not a single new mutant has been born.

And where we are going, there are other mutant children like Laura, can't you see something from this?"

"Yeah, other than not being able to get the $2 balance that woman promised me, and being chased by a group of dangerous people, I really can't see anything else."

Logan Howlett said mercilessly, "Especially after I learned that the 'Garden of Eden' that woman was talking about was actually just a random fabrication based on a silly comic book..."

Then, he casually picked up a bottle of medicine and handed it to Laura, who had remained silent beside him, and said without turning his head:
"Take two pills out of there and give them to Charles. It's time for him to take his medicine. Don't tell me you can't even do this little thing!"

After Professor X finished eating, Logan Howlett asked him to open his mouth and checked it himself before he felt relieved.

"Logan, who was that man we saw before leaving the hotel?"

Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to talk more about Laura, Professor X had to change the subject.

After all, the journey is long, and chatting is the best choice to kill boring time.

"The guy said his boss wanted me to help him." Logan Howlett frowned slightly. "But why are you asking this suddenly?"

"It's nothing. I just felt a very strong spiritual power from him at that time, but this power didn't seem to belong to him..."

Professor X showed a look of confusion on his face. Ever since he contracted Alzheimer's disease, his psychic abilities had been greatly reduced, so he was not sure whether his judgment was correct.

But one thing was certain, he did not sense any hostility from the man.

"Let's forget about that guy for now. We'll be in North Dakota in just over ten hours."

[Oklahoma City] is about 12 kilometers away from [North Dakota]. If nothing unexpected happens on the road, the three of them will be able to get there in about 16 to hours.

Although there was plenty of time, Logan Howlett did not relax at all, but became more and more nervous.

However, this tense mood was not caused by the pursuit of the [Predator Organization].

It is no exaggeration to say that if he was not afraid of causing large-scale riots and thus being discovered by the authorities, he and Professor X would be the real target of the attack.

Logan Howlett could have simply stopped and gotten rid of those annoying followers once and for all.

Even though his current combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, he is still not something that those [Predators] who have only modified a mechanical arm can deal with.

However, Frank's appearance made Logan Howlett feel a deep sense of crisis.

Putting aside the other party's strength, the fact that he was immune to the mental storm released by Professor X was already unbelievable to him.

And what Professor X said just now seems to verify this!
"But that guy doesn't seem to be a superpowered person from the [Vote Group]... He said he was from some Asian company?"

"And why did that so-called Boss he mentioned come after me?"

"Damn it, I seem to have been inadvertently forced into an even more troublesome incident!"

Logan Howlett thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any clue, and his mood became increasingly irritated.

There's nothing he can do about it. He wasn't the type to think.

Compared to thinking, he actually prefers to "take life and death lightly and do it if he doesn't agree"!
Logan Howlett decided to travel non-stop, and after sending Laura to the designated location, he would immediately take Professor X away from this troubled place.

However, the next sentence Professor X said casually made him suddenly shocked.

"Logan, that friend from before is now following us from a distance... His psychic power is very special, so it's easy to identify... But don't be nervous, I don't sense any hostility from him."

"Fu*k?!"

Logan Howlett slammed the steering wheel hard to vent his anger.

He had clearly warned the other party not to continue following him!
"Logan, don't swear, Laura is still a child."

Professor X seemed to have guessed what the other person was thinking and immediately advised, "Besides, there's no need to get angry at someone who has absolutely no ill intentions."

Logan Howlett glanced at the wolf girl beside him, curled his lips and retorted, "Didn't you see it before? She didn't even blink when she killed people, so I don't think swearing is a problem for her."

"Also...just because the person following us doesn't have any ill intentions now doesn't mean he won't have any ill intentions in the future."

Just as the two were talking, an SUV in front of them, which was towing a horse-drawn carriage at the rear, suddenly lost control and began to swerve left and right on the road.

The [horse carriage] at the rear swayed and crashed directly into the pickup truck driven by Logan Howlett and the other two.

Seeing this, Logan Howlett quickly swerved the steering wheel, stabilizing the swaying vehicle while avoiding the collision, and finally stopped it dangerously on the side of the road. But the SUV was not so lucky. Although the driver avoided a rollover with his experienced skills, the vehicle eventually plunged into the cornfield beside the road.

The door of the carriage had also loosened due to the previous violent shaking, and five horses ran out of it and rushed onto the road.

"Damn it, catch them back now."

Then the family of three jumped out of the car and tried to catch as many frightened horses as possible while avoiding other vehicles.

But such an action is obviously extremely dangerous.

An unmanned container truck nearly hit the younger farm boy.

Professor X saw this and said kindly, "Logan, we have to help them."

"No, our top priority now is to get on the road."

Logan Howlett refused without hesitation: "Someone will come to help them later."

Professor X was unwilling to give up. "Aren't we the ones who are willing to lend them a helping hand?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, Logan Howlett had no choice but to pull the handbrake, push the door and walk out.

"Hey, do you guys need help?"

As he spoke, Professor X had already closed his eyes and tried to activate his psychic ability to control the frightened horses and return to the carriage.

When the farmer and his family of three saw this, they exclaimed in disbelief, "God bless you!", not realizing that it was Professor X who was secretly helping them.

Later, with the help of Logan Howlett, the farmer's family successfully pushed the car out of the cornfield.

As a thank you, the farmer's family sincerely invited the three of them to have dinner on their farm.

……

"Nate, why do you want to drop out of school?"

During dinner, when farmer Will's son said he wanted to drop out of school, Professor X smiled and asked the reason.

Logan Howlett seemed to see a reflection of his own rebellious youth in the other man. A rare smile appeared on his resolute face, and he jokingly introduced the farmer's rebellious son:

"Young man, you have to be careful. Charles once founded a school... and he ran it for many years, training many great people."

The farmer and his family across the street immediately looked at Professor X with admiration, and the latter smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is a school specially established for...special children."

Then he pointed to Logan Howlett and added: "He was there too."

"That's right." Logan Howlett shrugged. "But I wasn't a good student at the time, and he expelled me several times."

"Yeah, Logan, I actually want to praise you for being a good student, but it's really hard to say such insincere words."

Everyone was immediately amused by the conversation between the two.

The atmosphere at the table began to become more cheerful.

At this moment, whether it was Logan Howlett, Professor X, or Laura who looked around and smiled foolishly with everyone from time to time, they all enjoyed this rare warm scene.

But the happy time is destined to be short-lived, and the real crisis is about to come! !
Because they had been traveling for a long time while being chased by the Predators, Logan Howlett and the other two had not had a good night's sleep along the way.

So when farmer Will invited them to stay overnight, Professor X readily agreed.

There's no way. After all, he's not as "young" and energetic as Wolverine. He's already over ninety years old, while Laura is only eleven...

What else could Logan Howlett do? Even though he now had countless reasons to continue on his journey, he could only helplessly emphasize to Professor X and the others again and again that they should leave as soon as the next day broke.

In return, Logan Howlett volunteered to go with Will to the water supply station three kilometers away to repair the water pump that suddenly stopped working.

"You know what, Logan?"

As Logan Howlett carried Professor X upstairs, the latter said with emotion: "Life should be like the Will family... having a home and loving each other."

"I think you should really take some time to feel these things carefully... I believe that one day, you will find a safe haven that can shelter you from the wind and rain... and a warm home that is willing to accept you!"

"Really?" Logan Howlett's face was filled with a hint of sadness. "Is it like the Xavier School for Gifted People?"

"Oh, no, the school no longer exists." Professor X saw that the other party had misunderstood and could not help but remind him: "Logan, I mean you still have a lot of time...

You should at least try to change your lifestyle and experience what you have been missing in your life for a long time."

But before he could finish his words, Logan Howlett shook his head and interrupted, "Charles, wake up. The world has long since changed. Mutants have already withdrawn from the stage of history. No place is willing to accommodate mutants like us now."

"No matter where we stay, there will be countless troubles and risks... and this is the truth!"

"Also, that damn Garden of Eden we're going to next doesn't actually exist. It's something that stupid nurse saw in a comic book."

"Do you understand now? All of this is fake, a lie... The only thing that's real is the group of pursuers behind us who want to kill us!"

As he spoke, Logan Howlett had already gently placed Professor X on the bed and carefully tucked the quilt in for him.

"No, it's all true for Laura."

Professor X stared into the other person's eyes and said very seriously:
"Logan, she's your daughter. She can help you find back what you've lost... Your world shouldn't be filled with only fighting and killing. Even the most ferocious beast has its own family and a happy time."

"Logan, I hope you can understand that there are other people in this world who need you..."

Obviously, Professor X wanted to persuade Logan to keep Laura... and keep this little wolf girl with the blood of Wolverine flowing in her body!
In this way, at least after his death, this old man in front of him, whose whole life was shrouded in killing and fighting, would not feel so lonely.

Professor X felt that Logan's fate in this life was tragic enough, so he hoped that his ending could be a little warmer and happier.

At least not so cold...

"You should have a good rest."

Logan Howlett was obviously not good at dealing with such sensational conversation, so he turned around and left decisively.

A helpless sigh was heard from the room...
