Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

With such a forceful push from Magneto, Charles's body fell forward uncontrollably.

The next second, countless spikes suddenly shot out and pierced straight through Charles's body!

“Charles’ strength lies in his mental power. Now I can withstand his power. He’s just an ordinary human in front of me. Any little thing can take his life.” Zhang Shan looked at Charles, who was being pierced by the earth spikes and was dying little by little. He thought to himself, “This guy will probably launch some kind of counterattack before he dies. I should hide first.”

His body accelerated instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already thousands of meters away.

At the same time, a violent explosion resounded through the sky!

Boom! ! !

Zhang Shan was startled.

"What's going on?" Zhang Shan stared blankly at the sea of ​​fire behind him. His Dragon Blast just now didn't have this kind of power, did it?

In the deafening explosion, Charles's body was completely incinerated, while Magneto barely survived by wrapping himself in countless metal shields.

At that moment, a weak voice appeared in Magneto's mind.

“Magnus, I know why he killed my sister first, because she was my last hope of survival!” Charles’s weak voice echoed in Magneto’s mind.

"What hope of survival? Charles! Explain yourself! And what's your condition? Did the explosion hurt you?" Magneto cried out anxiously in his mind.

"Don't avenge me. This guy is too terrifying. He has at least three different mutant abilities, and his strongest ability is probably telekinesis. This is something we can't handle. Remember, stay incognito..." Charles's voice grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.

Charles hasn't reached his peak yet, and his spirit can't survive in another person's body. The fact that he was able to finish speaking to Magneto is already a result of his not wasting his abilities over the years.

Charles's consciousness did not completely dissipate. After all, he was a Level 4 mutant, and a psychic at that. His counterattack before death was extremely terrifying.

However, Zhang Shan had already run several kilometers away and transformed himself into an ant, protecting himself completely.

No matter how hard Charles racked his brains, he could never have imagined that Zhang Shan would turn into an ant.

And that was indeed the case. Charles searched through all the people around him, and even used his mental energy to explore the surroundings, but he still couldn't sense the power that had blocked him before.

A few minutes later, Charles, filled with resentment, disappeared from this world forever.

At this moment, Magneto was unaware that his friend was completely dead. He controlled the iron ball encasing him to fly out of the center of the flames, and only after carefully opening the iron ball a little and seeing that there was no danger outside did he control the iron ball to open it completely and look at the situation outside.

At this time, the small city was covered by thick smoke, and there was no sunlight for several kilometers around.

"What's going on? What is that underground?" Zhang Shan wondered. He understood that his Dragon Blast must have pierced through something underground, causing this catastrophic explosion!

"But with such a commotion, Charles should be dead by now, right?"

Chapter 269 Opportunities to make money are everywhere!

Flying cautiously in the sky, Zhang Shan saw Magneto emerge from the metal lump, but Charles was nowhere to be seen.

It seems he really is dead?

Zhang Shan was unsure, but he wasn't panicked. He would find out whether Zhang Shan was dead or alive by testing him.

Whoosh!

The enormous boulder hurtled toward Magneto at incredible speed, catching him completely off guard and delivering a solid blow!

He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Shan waited a few seconds to make sure there was really no one else before he made his move again!

puff! !

A spike pierced Magneto's skull, ending his life.

After doing all this, Zhang Shan left without hesitation, without lingering at all.

Because the trouble here seemed a bit serious, he was worried that if he stayed any longer, he might attract some kind of evil spirit.

After flying back to his home in New York as quickly as possible, Zhang Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat lazily in a chair, but couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Solved! Those three troublemakers are all dead!" Zhang Shan muttered. "Now only Logan is left. I wonder where Uncle Wolf has gone?"

Zhang Shan wasn't too flustered. Even if the higher-ups had developed some kind of food that could suppress mutant abilities, he wasn't afraid at all.

Moreover, after dealing with the troublesome trio of mutants, the next target is Stryker.

However, Zhang Shan still hasn't found Stryker's location; it's indeed difficult to find him.

"Stryker is still a junior officer, right? He's definitely not going to be a colonel. Even if we kill him, it won't cause too much of a stir."

Just as Zhang Shan was planning who to kill next, the murder of Charles' family made headlines.

"An accidental fire? Something went wrong with a clandestine underground experiment!"

"How much has the conquest truly concealed from us?"

"Is there a hidden laboratory beneath your feet?"

~

Putting down the newspaper, Zhang Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that because they converted the basement of Charles's house into some kind of laboratory, the media attributed this incident to an accident during the experiment?"

As he spoke, Zhang Shan himself felt it was a bit surreal.

He was prepared to watch the show unfold, but he never expected to be labeled like this.

"Forget it, what happens next is none of my business. Before Tony improves human technology, I'd better go find Logan first, that guy..."

Jingle bell bell~

When he answered the phone, Logan's familiar voice came through.

"Hey kid, I'm downstairs at your place!"

bang~

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shan was somewhat puzzled.

"Shouldn't he be joining Stryker's mutant team? What's he doing downstairs at my place?"

Filled with curiosity, Zhang Shan went downstairs and met the completely transformed Logan.

His unkempt beard had been neatly trimmed, and he was wearing a denim jacket, looking quite dashing.

"Logan! Where have you been all this time?" Zhang Shan greeted him warmly.

Logan's nose twitched slightly as he caught a whiff of blood on Zhang Shan. He frowned slightly and said, "Let's talk about it upstairs."

With Logan by their side, the two arrived at Zhang Shan's apartment.

Logan was somewhat at a loss when he first arrived in such a civilized place.

"What? Scared?" Zhang Shan looked at Logan with amusement. "You've lived for over a hundred years and witnessed the changes in industry. You shouldn't be scared by such a small scene, right?"

Logan steadied himself and said, "It's true that I haven't been to civilized society for many years. You know, long-lived beings like me aren't suited to densely populated places."

Zhang Shan shook his head, disagreeing with Logan's idea.

After he had Logan sit down, he asked, "So, what brings you here?"

“An old friend asked me to form a team, but I didn’t think it was worth it, so I refused. But they clearly don’t want to let me go, so I had no choice but to come to you.” Logan briefly recounted his recent experiences, but he added at the end, “However, you can’t conduct inhumane experiments on me!”

"Don't worry! I'm a very humanitarian person!" Zhang Shan almost burst out laughing, but thankfully he had received professional training!

Looking at Zhang Shan's smiling face, Logan suddenly felt a chill and thought that coming here might not have been a good decision.

To Zhang Shan's surprise, Logan came to him of his own accord, much to his delight.

He was even happier after learning that Stryker's team was still hunting Logan.

Just when I was worried about not being able to find the person, they offered to deliver it to me themselves. What a pleasant surprise!

After arranging a small room for Logan to settle in, Zhang Shan received a call from Tony.

"Hey! Zhang! I've decided to take firm control of Stark Industries!" Tony's somewhat anxious voice came through.

"Hmm, and then?" Zhang Shan asked calmly.

“So I’ve decided to kick out all the unnecessary people!” Tony’s tone was decisive. “Next, I’ll find a way to crash Stark Industries’ stock. Then, you buy shares from those people and transfer them all to me. That way, Stark Industries will be completely under my control!”

"...Why don't you buy it yourself?" Zhang Shan asked, puzzled. Why didn't Tony just handle this himself? Why did he let an outsider like him interfere?

“They won’t sell to me!” Tony said helplessly. “I wanted to buy back their shares before, but these people always felt that I was hiding something from them and were unwilling to give up their shares.”

"Oh, is that so... Then why don't you just sell your shares to them? All you want is a company that's entirely your own; you can start your own business, right?"

"No way! This is my family's company! Why should I leave?!" Tony's tone was firm, but the next second he pleaded, "Please, brother! You're the only one I can trust now!"

"OK, OK. I'll try my best to help you, but first, send the money!"

"I know! I'll call the bank manager over right away and transfer some money to you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shan stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "In this day and age, you can make a fortune with computers, you can make a fortune with mobile phones... Oh right! How could I forget that!"

Zhang Shan suddenly realized that computers these days don't even have apps, and this was the simplest way for him to make money that he could access right now.

"Release the app and the computer version together!"

After glancing at Logan, Zhang Shan decided that once he had killed Stryker, he would begin preparing to build his own business empire.

"Strive to compete with Ma Ying-jeou for the US presidency!" Zhang Shan set himself a small goal.

Just kidding~

In the following days, Tony began to take action. First, he announced that he would take complete control of the group. Then, he made a series of blunders, causing Stark Industries' stock to collapse in just three days, and many people were selling their Stark Industries shares.

Zhang Shan did not disappoint the big investors; all the stocks that were dumped were bought up by Zhang Shan's men.

Within a week, Zhang Shan acquired 30% of Stark Industries' shares, and then he arranged to meet with Tony.

In the cafe.

Tony looked troubled and said to Zhang Shan, "My uncle is still unwilling to sell his shares. He basically has the most shares now."

Zhang Shan, however, was unconcerned about the shares held by the other party. He said to Tony, "You now own 80% of the shares. Even if those people have shares, they pose no threat to you."

"Okay, that's true."

In return, Zhang Shan received 5% of the shares from Tony as a reward. If the address hadn't been wrong, Zhang Shan would have already become Tony's godfather!

After saying goodbye to Tony, Zhang Shan, accompanied by his bodyguard Logan, arrived at a secluded alley.

"Are you sure they've caught up?" Zhang Shan asked.

“I’ll never mistake the stench on Victor for anything,” Logan replied affirmatively. Then, he asked with some doubt, “What exactly are you trying to do? You said you ran a biotech company, but I haven’t seen a single one of your people in the few days I’ve been here.”
