American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 622 Logan: Hawkeye, your punches aren't fast enough, and they're not ruthless enough!

"I take back what I said. You've done a great job teaching Asri," Rune said, using magic to show everything that was happening in the room.

Rune's praise was not without reason. The blood of a hero can only give Asri strength, but cannot pass on beliefs. If she continues to live with her mother, she is destined to become a social Darwinist.

In the original work, Ashley even thought her father, Hawkeye, was too weak and tried to kill him.

But Logan, who was also watching from the sidelines, gave a rather intriguing response: "I didn't teach her any of that."

Rune turned to look at Logan with a puzzled expression. The old man sneered and said, "She's not an easy child to get along with, but luckily my fists are hard enough."

Well, now Rune finally understands why Aisley didn't become a social Darwinist. It turns out she's been persecuted by this ideology all along, so naturally she's unwilling to support this foolish theory.

"It has to be you again." Rune was speechless, but a girl like Aisley really needed to be beaten up.

Logan didn't reply, but kept watching the scene inside the room in the mirror. When he saw Aisley fighting Taskmaster and Crossbones, and two elite soldiers going to find Judd, he grabbed Rune's hand.

"Quick, teleport me there! They're both in danger!"

On the surface, it seems that Judd, who is weak and helpless, is more dangerous. However, those who know Crossbones and the Taskmaster's nature know that it is not necessarily true who is more dangerous between Judd and Aisley.

The Imitation Master adheres to typical pragmatism; he rarely lets personal emotions interfere in battle and always chooses the optimal tactics.

So when facing a novice like Aisley, he had many styles to choose from, but he chose Wolverine's fighting style to provoke the little girl and hope she would make more mistakes.

Crossbones is extremely loyal to his organization and is also a ruthless individual who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but what makes him most dangerous is his fighting style. Crossbones is brutal and enjoys the sense of control that violence brings.

Taskmaster at least adheres to the rules of the trade but refuses to cross the line, but Crossbones doesn't care. He not only betrays allies but also shows little mercy to enemies or the innocent.

If Asley were to fall into Crossbones' hands, even Logan didn't know the extent of the torture she would suffer.

Rune was certainly not as familiar with these two villains as Logan, but he didn't intend to leave these two innocent little girls in danger. Just as he was about to open the portal, a sudden interference made him frown. "Wait, another force has gotten involved—"

Faced with these two elite soldiers, Jad could only grip the firewood in his hand and retreat step by step until he was cornered against the wall with nowhere left to go.

Judd was filled with fear, and his body trembled slightly. But in this wasteland where the law of the jungle prevailed, showing weakness was tantamount to admitting one's own insignificance.

There is no place for kindness here, let alone for soldiers serving in Hydra.

One of the elite soldiers reached out to grab Jad, but was hit squarely by the firewood she swung.

It was just an attack by a teenager, and because Judd was so panicked, the blow even missed, but it still angered the elite Hydra.

"You're asking for death!" He drew the dagger from his waist and stabbed at Jade's hand. Jade could only close his eyes and curl up, awaiting his fate.

At this critical moment, a series of screams and the clanging of metal suddenly erupted outside, followed by panicked shouts from Hydra soldiers: "Mutants! A large-scale mutant attack!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge, thunderous crash slammed into the side wall of the wooden house, creating a gaping hole. Shards of stone and wood flew everywhere, and several figures rushed in, stepping through the dust and smoke.

Leading the group was the bartender who could teleport, followed by three mutants of different appearances.

A burly man whose fists had turned to steel, who appeared to have some Russian ancestry. A man capable of manipulating air...

There is a short-haired woman who restrains and creates wind blades, and a man who looks like a telephone pole and can release high-intensity electric current.

"Crossbones, you've got the wrong person!"

The bartender spoke coldly, then teleported behind the two soldiers chasing Jad. Before they could react, he raised his hand and locked their necks tightly. With a slight force, two crisp cracking sounds were heard.

The two battle-hardened elite soldiers immediately collapsed to the ground.

Teleportation is truly a cheating ability. Although it's no match for Rune, it's quite easy for a bartender to bully a few ordinary people, especially since Andre had systematically studied espionage knowledge at Xavier Academy before becoming a bartender.

After killing the man, Andrei looked at Judd, who was looking at him with a questioning expression, and quickly said, "I am your father's drinking buddy. Not long ago, I heard about Hydra's plans from some cowboys, so I gathered my mutant friends from the neighborhood to help."

Upon seeing the mutants appear, Crossbones' expression changed drastically, and Taskmaster also sensed something was wrong. Their previously coordinated pincer attack instantly came to a halt.

The faint but ever-present nuclear radiation in the wasteland, Hydra's deliberate purges, and the overly random birthplaces have all contributed to the continuous decline in the mutant population in this territory.

Moreover, not all mutants possess considerable combat power; many mutants are even hampered by their own abilities. These mutants have a unique ability classification, namely the Epsilon level.

However, these mutants in front of us generally possess some special and practical abilities, and are at least Beta-level mutants, which is almost impossible to find in this wasteland!

unless----

Crossbones gritted his teeth; forces from other territories had intervened.

The screams outside grew more intense; the situation was spiraling out of control. Crossbones, as the supreme commander, made a decisive move, waving to Taskmaster to retreat.

Taskmaster gave Esley a deep look, then glanced at the new mutants out of the corner of his eye. He reluctantly took two steps back, then Crossbones turned and rushed outside, trying to break through the mutants' encirclement.

The mutants did not try to stop them, and simply watched as the two villains left.

Taking advantage of this lull, Ashley was finally able to relax a bit. Clutching her bleeding shoulder, she leaned against the wall, panting, and demanded, "Why didn't you stop those two? You were letting a tiger return to the mountain!"

"We can't risk doing that. Killing a few dozen soldiers is one thing," Andrei said helplessly, peering out from upstairs, "but Crossbones and Taskmaster are already well-known and are Red Skull's trusted lieutenants. Killing him—"

This could cause serious diplomatic problems.

But Aisley didn't care. She just snorted and scolded, "Coward!"
