Phoenix asked in confusion, "But what?"

She didn't sense any malice from Adam, so she was still willing to negotiate.

Adam smiled and said, "If Ms. Jean Grey would agree to be my girlfriend..."

Before Adam could finish speaking, a laser beam suddenly shot out from the laser eye and struck the ground in front of Adam.

Laser Eyes said coldly, "If you make such absurd demands again, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Adam scoffed and said, "In that case, let's fight!"

Adam returned a heat ray to Cyclops, but it was blocked by Phoenix's telekinetic barrier. Of course, this was only because Adam was joking; otherwise, Phoenix, who hadn't awakened the Phoenix Force, wouldn't have been able to block Adam's heat ray at all.

Phoenix Girl stopped the two who were about to make a move, saying, "Mr. Xia Ying, please stop joking like this. My boyfriend loves me very much, and I love my boyfriend very much too!"

Adam shrugged and said, "Alright, since it's your request, I'll agree. But Ms. Qin, why don't you consider changing your boyfriend? This man is too jealous and quite childish."

Phoenix Girl was a little angry this time, and said, "Mr. Swordsman! Please have some self-respect!"

Adam, feeling awkward, said, "Fine, fine, I won't say anything more. For your sake, I'll give you that person. The opponent's ability is sonic attacks, so be careful!" With that, he disappeared with a swift movement.

Adam had disappeared, but the three people present were filled with horror and anger.

Cyclops's eyes were switched on, Storm's hair was tangled, and Jean Grey's hairband was taken away. Coupled with the strange sensation on her lips, Phoenix knew she had been kissed without her consent.

A demonstration, a blatant demonstration!!!

Storm yelled, "That bastard!" But she was also somewhat relieved that he wasn't her enemy.

Cyclops remained silent, but his tightly clenched fists revealed that he was not entirely at peace.

Phoenix sighed softly and said, "Let's go back and tell the professor about this." She then walked towards Jack, who was pinned to the ground.

Storm asked in confusion, "Jane, are you alright?"

Storm shook her head and said, "It's alright, Scott, we need your help here!"

After listening, Cyclops calmed down, then walked to Jack's side and had Phoenix extend Jack's unconscious period. He then shot down the iron bars and escorted Jack, Phoenix, and the others back to the fighter jet.

On the way back, the three of them remained silent, stunned by the power Adam had displayed. Each lost in their own thoughts, they returned to Xavier's School of Thought without a sound.

Back at Xavier's School of the Rising Sun, Cyclops and Jean Grey imprisoned Jack in a special prison located beneath the school. This prison held mutants who had committed crimes, but were kept there for their own safety. These weren't the most heinous mutants; the plan was to gradually reform them and eventually get them to study or work at Xavier's School of the Rising Sun.

Storm, on the other hand, reported what had happened that day to Professor X alone.

Professor X became interested in the superhero after hearing this, saying, "No wonder S.H.I.E.L.D. contacted us; they were wary of his power. Heh, looks like I'll have to find some time to meet this hero in person."

These words were overheard by Cyclops and Phoenix, who had already returned.

Cyclops objected, "No, Professor, the consequences would be dire if that guy were to harm you!"

Phoenix Girl shook her head and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I didn't sense any malice from him, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come back today!"

Cyclops was about to object, but Professor X waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, since he's determined to become a superhero, he's not our enemy, he should be our friend!"

Professor X's idea failed to materialize because the mutants' daytime attack on Lofores Avenue and their claim to dominate Queens spurred more people to join the movement to resist and reject the mutants.

During the congressional session, a group of members, led by Representative Kelly, took the opportunity to bring together all mutants to study their abilities and survival methods. As a result, Professor X and his team had to turn their attention to this representative, hoping to resolve the issue through discussion.

Under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s arrangement, Professor X plans to have Phoenix enter Congress to explain the origins of mutants to members of Congress, hoping to get Congress to cancel the ban through this discussion.

Adam was aware of all this, but because it didn't concern him and he didn't want to get involved in the battle between the powerful and the mutants, he didn't pay much attention to the issue.

So, what is Adam doing now?

"Going to make a movie?! Dude, what kind of trick are you playing?"

Tony was quite surprised. He had intended to invite Adam to a friend's party, but Adam unexpectedly said he was going to make a movie.

Adam laughed and said, "Yes, my new company is all set up, so I'm going to Canada to film a movie. So have fun by yourself, and take good care of your mother and father. Don't be naughty anymore."

Tony shrugged and said, "Okay, I got it. I was going to introduce you to some beautiful girls, but since you don't have time, never mind. Let's talk about it next time."

Adam replied, "Okay, let's talk when I get back. I'm getting on the plane now, goodbye!" and then hung up the phone.

That's right, Adam is currently preparing to go to Canada to film a movie. Dawn Films has already found a director and actors, and Adam, as the screenwriter and producer of the upcoming film, also has to go to Canada. Of course, the main reason is that he's tired of staying in New York and wants to get away for a while.

As for what happened in New York City, Athena will notify him promptly if anything happens. At his speed, it would be easy for him to get back, so he's not afraid of any major chaos in New York City. Besides, the New York police are no pushovers; they did a great job even before the superheroes appeared, let alone now.

===============================================

A small town in Alberta, Canada.

Adam sat in the villa rented by the film crew, watching the director and cinematographer discuss issues, while the other actors sat in their respective corners, engrossed in their scripts. Only Adam observed the people around him with interest, since he had nothing else to do.

The director was a middle-aged woman named Alice Cordia, who had previously directed many popular films. After Adam saw her work, he agreed to let her direct this film.

Alice is a doer, so after arriving in Canada she started working, communicating with the actors in the morning and discussing with the photographer in the afternoon, preparing to start filming in the evening.

Cinematographer Locke Hogan joined the crew with the director and was Alice's personal cinematographer. However, Adam was suspicious of Locke and Alice's relationship, which seemed to be more complex than they claimed.

As for the female lead, well, she's a very pretty girl. She acted in many movies when she was little; she was a child star. However, this is her first movie as an adult. She's sitting there staring intently at the script. But her assistant seems to be trying to pimp her out, as he's quietly advising Christine to seize the opportunity.

Adam certainly knew what opportunity Christine's assistant was referring to—it was himself! Adam Stark was one of America's most famous playboys, and not only was he a rich second-generation heir, but he was also an inventor with patents and company stock, making him a highly sought-after catch among female celebrities these days.

Adam listened to what these people were saying, chuckled, and then stood up to go for a walk.

After he left, Christine seemed annoyed by her assistant's nagging, so she stood up, told the director she was going out for a walk, and left as well.

Adam saw Christine again in a bar. She seemed to be in a bad mood, sitting in a corner of the bar, ordering a drink and lost in thought.

Adam walked over and sat down next to Christine, saying, "Hey, filming starts tonight, is this really okay?"

Christine was startled upon hearing this, and seeing that it was Adam, she said somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Stark, I was in a bad mood and only had one drink. It won't affect filming."

Adam smiled and said, "Okay, just call me Adam. Don't be nervous. I won't tell the director. Can you tell me what's bothering you?"

Christine was silent for a moment, then replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how to play the role of Bella well."

She wasn't familiar with Adam, and Adam was the producer and screenwriter of the film, so he couldn't possibly be telling the truth, especially since the whole thing originated with Adam Stark.

Adam looked at her and laughed, "Hehe, really? Then you're quite the actress."

This simple sentence, however, sounded like sarcasm to Christine. With a cold face, she said, "I think I should go now, Mr. Stark. Goodbye!" She then stood up, ready to leave.

Just then, Adam reminded her, "Actually, you don't need to worry. A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. I bought the film company to make the movies I like, I have no other purpose. Don't put pressure on yourself! I've already had your agency change assistants, you just need to focus on playing your role well."

Christine blushed, clearly not expecting Adam to have overheard her conversation with her assistant. She snapped, "I don't need your kindness! I won't be fooled by you!" With that, she quickly left the bar, leaving Adam completely bewildered. Adam obviously thought Adam had ulterior motives for helping her.

Adam was incredibly frustrated to have his good intentions misunderstood. He left the bar feeling rather annoyed. Not wanting to go home so early, Adam drove aimlessly around the town. After about an hour, he arrived at another small town where passing drivers and homeless people gathered.

Adam parked the car on the side of the road, looked at the sign in front of him, and went inside.

It was a small bar, but it was packed with people, mostly truck drivers and homeless people, who were talking about the boxing match that would be held in the backyard later.

These boxing matches are a popular form of gambling among the homeless, and also a way for them to seek entertainment. After all, they don't have the extra money to go to more upscale places, so they seek thrills and fun in these homeless bars, where they might even win a lot of money if they're lucky.

Of course, Adam wasn't interested in the boxing match itself, but rather in a guy named Wolverine. They said he had been living here for a while, frequently participated in the boxing matches, and was a perennial champion; it seemed he hadn't lost since he arrived.

Adam had certainly watched boxing matches before, but this was the first time he had ever seen a boxing match in a bar. Intrigued, Adam ordered a beer and sat quietly in a corner, waiting for the match to begin.

A moment later, a tall figure walked in from outside. With messy hair, a distinctive beard, and handsome features, he was a mature man who was specifically designed to attract young girls.

Adam heard someone call him Wolverine, so he glanced at him with interest. To Adam's surprise and amusement, this Uncle Wolverine had extraordinary intuition. He had only glanced at Adam in the crowd, but the uncle had already sensed him and glanced at him.

Adam chuckled as he finished his beer, muttering, "Interesting! Looks like this guy isn't an ordinary person either." Seeing everyone heading towards the backyard, he followed them in.

There was a makeshift fighting ring in the backyard of the bar, surrounded by barbed wire to prevent those who joined the fight from running away halfway.

At that moment, a chubby guy came up with a microphone, introduced the rules of today's boxing match, and then the boxing match began.

Adam watched the boxing match calmly, standing out from the excited crowd. With a bang, Wolverine knocked a challenger to the ground with a punch, then took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep breath. Then he saw Adam standing out from the crowd and made a provocative gesture, seemingly wanting to provoke Adam into coming to the ring for a match.

Wolverine's actions drew the attention of the others to Adam, who then jeered, "Go up there!!! Hey, if you're not a girl, go up and fight!!!"

"Is the child scared?"

"If you're afraid of losing, go back and drink your milk! Haha!"

Adam ignored the jeering crowd and looked at Wolverine, asking, "Want to have a match with me?"

Wolverine said simply, "Go up and fight!"

Adam found it amusing and said, "Alright, since you want to have a match with me, let's have one!"

After Adam finished speaking, he took off his shirt, revealing a well-defined physique. He stretched his arms and legs and nimbly walked onto the ring.

Chapter Twenty-One: Wolverine

Adam took off his shirt and walked onto the ring, assuming a stance to observe his opponent's movements. This practiced action slightly startled Wolverine, who had made the provocation, but he quickly understood, because he had already sensed that his opponent was not simple.

Logan is a mutant with the abilities of retractable claws, super healing abilities, and beast-like perception.

For some reason, he had no memory of his past, only of the last ten years or so. Oh, right, because of his super healing ability, his life had been extended, and he didn't even know how long he had lived. He had been searching for his memories all along, so he didn't have a stable job, which is why he would go to the busiest bar in every small town to gamble with people—it had become a habit.

He had been in the town for a week, but he had no impression of it at all, so he decided to leave in a few days.

Just then, he met Adam in the bar, the man who made him feel dangerous. That's why he provoked him to test his strength. Of course, he didn't believe that anyone in the world could kill him so easily, so he provoked him without hesitation.

Sure enough, as soon as his opponent stepped onto the stage, he adopted a familiar stance. Wolverine tossed aside the cigar he had just lit and stared intently at Adam, searching for his opponent's weakness.

Why has no one recognized Adam to this day?

That's because Adam had put on some makeup before coming here, so people who didn't know him wouldn't recognize him. Therefore, even though Adam stood on the stage for so long, no one knew that he was Adam Stark, the famous American playboy.

And so, the two had been standing on the ring for almost a minute, and apart from the occasional probing, they hadn't actually made a move, which made the spectators below quite unhappy.

"Hey, we're here to watch the fight, let's get the fight started!!"

"Pretty boy, are you scared? If you're scared, go back to drinking your milk, haha."

Adam frowned and looked at Wolverine, saying, "Since they want to see, we don't need to keep testing them. Let's have a fight!"

Wolverine stared intently at Adam's hands and feet and said, "Alright, kid, bring it on!"
