"Go back and see your family when you have time.
Leave someone else here. Hell's Kitchen is not safe. Even you would be in danger."
Isaac warned.
Isaac had always admired Kingpin greatly.
A man who relied on his own training to push his physical fitness to the human limit, showing unparalleled perseverance and determination.
Moreover, Kingpin remained loyal to him.
Of course, there was a reason why Kingpin, as the emperor of America's underworld, was so devoted.
Ten years ago, Kingpin had been about to retire when his enemies struck. His wife and children had nearly died in that incident.
It was Isaac who stepped in at the critical moment and saved Kingpin's family. Since then, Kingpin had served under him ever since.
Kingpin was deeply moved when he realized Isaac was worried about him. After all, he owed him a great deal.
"As you command, sir!"
He nodded firmly to show that he understood.
He hadn't seen his family for almost a year, so it would be wonderful to return to visit them.
As a seasoned villain, Kingpin understood that nothing was more important than staying alive. Only by staying alive could he continue to serve his master.
And he still cherished his private life and family deeply.
After giving Kingpin his instructions, Isaac left.
The secret bases of the Celestial Dome were not scattered all over the world, but they at least existed in the major countries.
The American base was located in Hell's Kitchen, the most chaotic and dangerous district of New York.
And the one in charge of the New York base was Kingpin. This base did not contain any research projects, only a few high-yield nuclear bombs, and its primary purpose was to maintain those bombs.
Mutant World – Xavier's School.
"Jean, I don't support you going to that world. You must understand that humanity's ambition is far too great, greater than any entity in that universe can bear. Going there will only put you in even more danger."
Professor X spoke gravely as he looked at his proudest student.
Jean listened and nodded firmly.
"Because he has enemies everywhere, I will go to help him. His current situation is extremely dangerous, and I owe him—I must repay that debt."
Beside them, Cyclops scowled in anger—he had already begun to hate Jean—and asked:
"So, do you even know what he intends to do? He wants to ignite a war across the entire world, even the entire universe! He is an absolute tyrant! More brutal than Siedler himself. If you go there, you'll be helping him and encouraging his evil acts!"
Jean replied firmly:
"I don't care! I only know that he helped me. No matter the cost, I must save his life."
"Hmph! Irrational woman!"
Cyclops snorted coldly and left the conference room quickly.
At that moment, all he felt was sorrow for Jean. He no longer held any love for her.
Storm looked worriedly at her kind-hearted sister. That world was far too dangerous. In truth, she didn't fully approve of Jean going to such a place alone.
"Why don't you ask Isaac first?"
Professor X advised gently.
Jean listened and nodded hesitantly, then immediately contacted Isaac.
Jean: Isaac, the situation over there looks really bad. Do you need my help? I'm extremely powerful!
Isaac, who was on his way to a base in the Pacific Ocean, felt a little confused when he received this unexpected message.
"My current situation is actually very good, isn't it? Why does she think it's catastrophic?"
Isaac: I'm fine here. There's no need for you to come to me.
He was extremely worried about the Phoenix Force within Jean's body. It was said that every universe had its own Phoenix Force, and its influence on the stability of the universe was comparable to the Infinity Stones.
If Jean were to leave her own universe, it could disrupt the entire cosmic order and potentially lead to a universal reset.
Although the possibility was incredibly slim, Isaac wasn't willing to gamble even with a 1% chance.
The Mutant Universe… that future belonged to him.
Jean felt slightly dejected when she heard his refusal.
Jean: But… I'm really worried about you!
Isaac: It's fine. If I can't solve the problem myself, your presence won't help. I have a ticket to travel between worlds. Even if something goes wrong, I can escape to another universe.
Hearing this, Jean felt relieved and no longer considered going to the Avengers' universe.
After arriving at the base where Haibara Ai was, Isaac immediately went to find the Ghost in charge of the research there.
As a biologist, Haibara Ai was extremely interested in Ghost's condition. Unfortunately, since quantum science wasn't her field, she hadn't made any significant progress.
"I was planning to wait three years before solving your physical issues, but it seems I need to hurry now."
Isaac smiled at Ghost, who was almost moved to tears.
"Thank you, boss!" Ghost said with enthusiasm and gratitude.
She had suffered from chronic physical issues. Her molecular structure was unstable and could collapse at any moment, not to mention the unbearable pain.
The pain of every cell in one's body tearing apart was something no ordinary person could endure.
But Ghost had a strong will to survive, and that was what had kept her going.
Isaac took out the Side-Effect Removal Gun and fired it at Ghost.
This device was shaped like a gun, and as soon as it struck any object or living being, it removed its side effects.
A single shot was enough to cure the disease.
Ghost felt her body stabilize. The pain disappeared, and her molecular structure held together. Most importantly, she retained her superpowers and could still control her body.
"I will be loyal to you forever!"
Ghost stood before Isaac with excitement, her eyes shining with admiration.
In her eyes, Isaac was the one who had given her a new life.
