Chapter 431: New Panel Function! Xia Shang's Identity Revealed!
Ignoring gravity, Xia Shang stood in the air and calmly took a step forward. The next second, his figure vanished into thin air, only to reappear dozens of meters away. Just like that, he crossed Space as if taking a stroll, arriving at an empty spot in front of Deadpool.
"Are you guys kidding me? The entire Superhero team was deployed, and one was almost buried alive, one was just a head left, and that guy Gambit, who wasn't even seriously injured, is lying there playing dead." Xia Shang's expression was blank as he glanced at Gambit, who had been smashed into the airplane's steel plating by A-Train. He then extended his right hand, wrapped Gambit in Psychic Power, and pulled him over.
"Actually, I'm pretty seriously injured." To prove he wasn't lying, Gambit coughed a few times and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground.
"Hmm, two of your ribs were almost broken. It's true I shouldn't force you to continue combat." Xia Shang used his X-ray Vision to check Gambit's physical condition, his gaze softening considerably. "I'll give you two months of paid leave. Come back to work when you've fully recovered."
Gambit's performance in this combat wasn't too bad, at least he didn't flee the scene. Although he played dead on the airplane after being smashed by A-Train, a small warning was sufficient; there was no need to make a big deal out of it.
"Thank you, it's great that you understand." Gambit breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, especially after hearing about the two months of paid leave. The negative emotions he had felt instantly vanished.
Afterward, Xia Shang nodded at Camille. "Give Charles a phone call and tell him there's a batch of Mutants here waiting for him to pick up."
"Mr. Jervis, I am Army Captain Yuri Kukka. I'm mainly here to handle Stryker. He defied Army orders and conducted mutant research privately at the Base. I strongly condemn his actions. At the same time, on behalf of the government, I apologize to you."
A tall man in a military uniform jumped off a helicopter, walked up to Xia Shang, extended his right hand, and said with a serious face.
Xia Shang knew that this person was in league with Stryker; otherwise, the Army's support wouldn't have been so swift. It was just that Stryker's plan hadn't succeeded. If it had, this guy named Yuri would have ordered the Mutants at the scene to be killed without hesitation.
The reason he was apologizing now was entirely because Homelander and Butcher were still alive, and Stryker's plan had completely failed.
"Follow me, I sense there are still living Mutants under the Ruins."
Xia Shang ignored his extended right hand and walked directly towards the Ruins.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot, hurry up and follow!" Deadpool urged.
The reporter holding his head seemed to snap back to reality and quickly followed.
Soon, Xia Shang arrived in front of the collapsed Ruins. Looking at the rebar and cement blocks before him, he raised his right hand and waved it to the side. Invisible Psychic Power immediately lifted heavy pieces of building debris. This scene was like a miracle, especially Xia Shang's relaxed posture, which left Gambit and the others stunned.
"I never in a million years thought that the strongest Mutant in Vought wasn't Homelander, but our boss, Mr. Jervis," Gambit said with a shocked expression, filled with emotion.
"If he had shown up earlier, maybe I could have kept an arm. Now look at me, I don't even know how I'm going to wipe my butt. Oh, Shetty, I almost forgot, my bouncy, cute butt is gone. This is a nightmare for me. Does this mean everything I eat from now on will come out through my esophagus?" Deadpool said, full of resentment.
"You should look on the bright side. Maybe the food you eat can be reused," Gambit said gleefully, patting Deadpool's head.
"Ugh! I'm gonna puke!"
While the two were engaged in chat, Xia Shang had already cleared away the obstacles in front of him and saw Wolverine trapped under the concrete blocks. It must be said that Wolverine had terrible luck. When the Base collapsed, a piece of rebar fell and happened to pierce his right eye socket. Even though his whole body's bones were Adamantium, parts like the eyes were still his weakness. However, for Wolverine, with his powerful Self-Healing Ability, this injury wasn't fatal. In the source material, he was shot in the head with an Adamantium bullet by Stryker, and the only price was amnesia.
"With such a serious injury, he should be unconscious for a while." Xia Shang pulled out the rebar that had pierced Wolverine's eyes, turned his head, and said to Gambit, "Take him back. I'm very interested in his Ability."
"Boss, I'm not saying anything, but are you sure this guy isn't dead? I suspect his brain has turned into a puddle of mud. If you poured it out, you might get a cup of coffee's worth," said Deadpool from the side. He didn't believe Logan could survive such a severe injury, after all, not everyone's Superpower was nearly immortal cancer cells like his.
"I'm sure he's still alive."
Xia Shang grabbed Logan's arm and tossed him to Gambit behind him.
After rescuing Logan, Xia Shang left the reporters to take photos and collect evidence, then took Deadpool and the others by airplane back to Manhattan, United States.
...
The next day, various News Media outlets began reporting on the Stryker incident, and Xia Shang's mutant identity was made public.
Ten o'clock in the morning, Jervis Building, CEO's Office.
Angel Warren looked at Deadpool in the stroller and couldn't help but tease, "You are definitely the ugliest baby I've ever seen, no exceptions."
At this moment, Deadpool, whose mask had been removed, retorted impolitely, "How dare a mere Bird mock this great lord? Believe it or not, I'll jump up and kick you in the knee!"
Compared to the day before, Deadpool's condition was significantly better. A tender pink body had grown below his large head, just like a premature baby. Through the pink skin, his blood vessels could be seen.
"Get this great lord a cigarette, I'm in a really bad mood right now!" Deadpool howled.
"I wouldn't dare give you a cigarette. If someone saw, they might think I'm abusing a child." Warren rolled his eyes, ignoring the two middle fingers Deadpool extended towards him.
"Get ready, we need to go to New York later." Just then, Xia Shang pushed open the door and walked into the Office.
At this moment, a semi-transparent Panel was still suspended in front of him.
