American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 628 The White Queen Descends

At the dinner table, Rune's food made Wolverine and his two daughters abandon all pretense of etiquette. Even though the two girls had actually eaten this kind of food before, the pursuit by Taskmaster and Crossbones had burned off a lot of calories, so their wolfing down of the food was understandable.

As for Wolverine—

Needless to say, Logan hadn't had pre-battle food in a long time, and he had killed those two villains before even eating. Now, seeing this table full of pre-battle food was like a wolf seeing a sheep. It would take great self-control for him not to pounce on it.

Rune had anticipated this outcome, so he didn't care much.

What puzzled Rune was that the three mutants under Andrei's command were also wolfing down the food, while Andrei himself was eating slowly and deliberately.

Then, considering that these three mutants had hardly spoken and had been following Andrei's instructions completely—perhaps, the so-called Krako was not as wonderful as Rune had imagined?

Rune began to plot, planning to find an opportunity to ask Andrei's three subordinates, hoping that the answer would not disappoint him.

This opportunity came very soon.

After dinner, Andrei used the excuse of introducing Krako to pull Logan aside for a chat, while the three mutants remained sitting there blankly.

Rune sat down in the chair opposite him and asked softly, "Could you tell me your names?"

The three mutants looked at each other, blinked, and seemed to be exchanging information. After a minute or two, the man who looked to be of Russian descent spoke.

"You may call me Rasputin, Your Excellency. We are very grateful for everything you have done for our compatriots—"

"Let's skip the formalities. Could you introduce me to Krakow?" Rune asked gently. His question clearly put the man in a difficult position. Rasputin looked at the others again, trying to get an answer from their eyes.

"I might be a mutant too." Rune sighed, and gently made a cut on his right arm with his left fingers. A thick, black liquid instantly appeared, and incomprehensible murmurs filled the air around him.

However, this terrifying scene did not last long. In the blink of an eye, the wound had healed completely, as if it had never existed.

Rasputin frowned. This did not prove the other party's mutant identity, but an undeniable will took over his body and posed in a charming pose in a man's body.

Um~

Rune shuddered immediately, disgusted. "Hey, you—you wouldn't happen to be the White Queen, would you?"

The other two mutants were startled by the answer. They immediately stood up from their chairs and knelt down beside Rasputin.

This scene immediately made Rune frown.

"How did you know my identity?" the White Queen asked haughtily, her face rugged.

"A powerful psychic, a woman who enjoys putting on airs, and someone who's always watching Wolverine—" Rune asked in a low voice, "Besides the White Queen, can you find me another person with the same traits?"

"You're so clever." The White Queen looked at him with affectionate eyes, her lips slightly parted, trying to show her feminine charm, but she forgot that she was on the body of a Russian man, which was of no use except to disgust everyone present.

"Oh my god—" Pretending not to exist and wanting to gather more information, Jade gagged. She immediately rushed out the door, tilted her head back, and swallowed hard, trying not to vomit.

This poor girl knew the meaning behind every dish of food, and she didn't want to waste it.

Aisley was even more direct; she made a face and yelled, "Disgusting, you sissy!"

But soon, she will learn what it means to have trouble with what you say.

As soon as Ashley finished speaking, she felt her hair stand on end. She quickly did several backflips, trying to avoid the source of the danger, but no matter how she moved, the chilling feeling kept following her.

Spider-Sense didn't allow her to escape Emma's telepathy, and Ashley was ultimately left hanging on the wall, unable to move.

"This little girl is just like her father; her animal instincts are still there." Emma slightly raised her chin, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly, seemingly praising Ashley, but there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.

You've been exposed!

Rune stared speechlessly at Emma, ​​who was wearing Rasputin's face. This was definitely not the original White Queen from the wasteland. She couldn't even tell the difference between Spider-Man's granddaughter and Wolverine's daughter!

"Alright, put that little girl down. Don't bully her. Or your Wolverine will come after you." Rune rolled his eyes. "You should know how much Logan loves kids."

Despite his burly appearance, Wolverine actually adores children, and the reasons for this are somewhat complex.

For example, although he lived for hundreds of years, he didn't have many children. In the original timeline, his son Deacon was a rebellious child. Also, his childhood included witnessing his adoptive father's murder, awakening his abilities but accidentally killing his biological father, and being driven away by his mother who saw him as a monster.

In short, the final result was that Wolverine became the "Boy Scout Instructor" in the X-Men, and Wolverine's clone Laura...

Li Qianhuan, the grandson of the Wasteland Hulk, and many others are all members of Logan's team.

Emma clearly knew this, and although she acted noncommittal, she eventually put Asri down. The somewhat rebellious girl immediately ran behind Rune and began baring her teeth at Emma, ​​just like a dog that had found its master.

Rune patted Asley's head and pointed to the door, indicating that she should go and take care of Judd, but Asley was clearly reluctant.

"But she's your own sister. Even though your father killed Crossbones and Taskmaster, Red Skull will get wind of it sooner or later. You have to protect her; after all, you are Logan's strongest child—"

"Okay, okay, it's because I'm stronger." Aisley said modestly, but she could barely suppress the smile on her face.

After watching Aisley leave, Rune snapped his fingers, and a silencing barrier immediately appeared around them.

"Tell me, why did you specifically seek me out?" Rune raised an eyebrow.

Emma is a proud woman with extreme self-esteem and ego. She acts with self-interest in mind and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. However, she also has a strong protective instinct towards mutant students and will do things that she believes are "beneficial to mutants".

So Rune was very curious about why she had come to him.

"Alright, I'm sure you don't want to listen to me ramble on and on about small talk before getting to the point. Okay, I'll get straight to the point: would you like to become one of our mercenaries?"
