Chapter 448: Making a Decision! Logan Joins Jie Er Company!
The heatwave rushing towards him, along with the dazzling fire light, instantly engulfed Deadpool!
…………
In the Laboratory, Xia Shang was very satisfied with the performance of the guinea pig, Deadpool. This showed that the illusion he created was enough to easily affect a level 3 mutant.
After having someone dispose of Jason's corpse, Xia Shang drove to Jie Er Company.
On the way, he could see large numbers of police and fire trucks heading towards The Pentagon. It wouldn't be long before everyone in the United States knew that The Pentagon had suffered a terrorist attack.
However, compared to ordinary humans, reporters have more informed channels. At this moment, a group of news reporters who had heard the news had already gathered at the main door of Jie Er Company. Clearly, upon learning that superheroes were involved, they hurried non-stop to Jie Er Company, attempting to obtain first-hand information from the superheroes.
So, as soon as Xia Shang got out of the car, he was surrounded by a swarm of reporters.
"Mr. Jervis, what are your thoughts on this incident? I heard that the mutant who attacked The Pentagon this time is the same person who assassinated the president. It's said that after he was captured, he was held in a Secret Base within The Pentagon, but the notorious Butcher rescued him. Is this information true? Will they continue to retaliate against the US Government next? Could their next target possibly be the White House?"
One of the reporters held a microphone up to Xia Shang and asked rapidly.
"First of all, I strongly condemn their violent behavior. The safety of the United States is facing a huge challenge. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant, so crazy as to attack The Pentagon."
Xia Shang's expression was serious as he continued, "But please rest assured, neither the federal government nor I will ever allow such a thing to happen again! This time, although they rescued Magneto Erik, it doesn't mean their operation was a great success. The fact is, this group of super villains is no match for the superheroes. Facing us, they could only flee in panic.
As for whether they will take other violent means to attack and retaliate against the United States next, I personally believe it's unlikely in the short term, unless they dare to risk complete destruction and fight the superheroes to the death. Otherwise, they are just like The Female who cannot stand the light, only able to hide in the sewers and silently lick their wounds."
"Mr. Jervis, your remarks are inspiring. God bless the United States. If there were no superheroes protecting the United States, I truly dare not imagine what kind of fear the American people would live in," said the Reporter from Weiss Newspaper Agency.
Subsequently, Xia Shang accepted interviews from several other reporters. It was easy to imagine that once these interviews were reported, the popularity of superheroes would experience a new surge.
Walking into the Locker Room, Xia Shang saw Deadpool, whose expression was as bad as if he had stepped on dog shit, lying on the sofa and cursing, "Damn it, I've never had such disgusting dreams, and two of them!"
Xia Shang understood Deadpool's mood at the moment. After all, anyone who experienced two good dreams turning into nightmares back-to-back wouldn't be in a very happy mood.
"There's a group of reporters outside waiting to interview you. Go get ready. You should know what to say and what not to say."
He looked at Angel, Gambit, and Quicksilver nearby. "The Public Relations Department is still being formed. Before that, you'd better not cause me any trouble... Oh, and Deadpool, stay here and don't go anywhere. With his current appearance, he's simply tarnishing the image of superheroes."
"I protest! I've made contributions to the US Government, I've shed blood for Jie Er Company, and the injury I suffered is the best proof! You can't discriminate against me!" Deadpool didn't want to miss this opportunity to steal the limelight. Besides, with his mask on, nobody would know his true identity.
"Protest invalid. After this matter is over, I will distribute a considerable bonus to each of you. Deadpool, if you don't want it, I can give you this opportunity to appear." "Then forget it. True heroes are usually like me, seeing fame and fortune as fleeting clouds." Deadpool decisively chose to compromise.
…………
A week later, Logan and Silver Fox, having made their decision, walked into Xia Shang's Office together.
"I came here this time to ask about one thing." Logan stared closely into Xia Shang's eyes and said word by word, "Is Victor still alive?"
"Victor?" Xia Shang leaned on the chair back and said casually, "The government did dig out a mutant corpse from the Base Ruins. From the incomplete appearance, it should be the Victor you mentioned."
"Do you have photos?" Logan frowned and asked.
He didn't quite believe that Victor, who had the same regeneration ability as him, would be smashed to death by a collapsed building, unless Victor's luck was truly bad and he was hit in a fatal spot.
"Let me look." Xia Shang sat up straight, pulled open the drawer, and took out a stack of photos. "These photos were mailed to me by the government. There are photos of Victor among them."
Logan stepped forward, picked up the photos, and turned them open without saying a word. Soon, he found the photo of Victor among them. In the photo, half of Victor's head was missing, and his bloody and mangled flesh and blood body had obvious suture traces. Clearly, Victor's luck was indeed very bad, plus his regeneration ability was far less than Wolverine's, so after suffering an extremely severe injury, he died immediately.
Looking at the photos in his hand, a trace of melancholy flashed in Logan's eyes. He hadn't expected Victor, with whom he had spent a hundred years, to die in this way.
"Although I don't know what your relationship with this Victor was, the person is already dead. Life still has to continue. You have to learn to look forward," Xia Shang intertwined his fingers and placed them on the office desk.
"You are right."
Logan put away the photos, looked at Xia Shang, and said, "Actually, I'm not interested in becoming a Superhero. Rather than being a Superhero, I'd rather stay in Canada and be an ordinary lumberjack."
Xia Shang didn't speak, because he knew there would definitely be a twist later.
As expected, Logan looked at Kayla with love and continued, "But I'm not alone now. I have to consider Kayla's feelings. Her sister is receiving education at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. She can only visit her sister better if she stays in the United States. She needs a job in the United States, and at the same time, I am willing to stay in Washington for her."
"I'm very happy you could make this decision."
Xia Shang stood up, walked to Logan, and said with a smile, "Welcome to Jie Er Company, Mr. Logan and Ms. Kayla."
