Mystique's words were so shocking they could kill; everyone in the hotpot restaurant stared wide-eyed, their expressions blank as they looked at Logan and Mystique. Even Yuriko's face changed slightly, because theoretically, this child was also her brother.
"I once said that you possess the genes most attractive to me, and I never expected that I would get what I wished for…" Mystique looked at Logan alluringly and smiled, "If you want to know your son's whereabouts, you have to help me. Otherwise, you'll never see him!"
"You're just a guy who sows his seeds everywhere. Sooner or later, you'll suffer the consequences of it!" For some reason, Cyclops's words to Logan echoed in Logan's mind, making his thoughts wander.
Yuriko was fine; she was just an artificial product of Logan and Sabretooth's genes. But this child was different now; didn't this just confirm what Cyclops had said?
"Son… Does that Cyclops guy have the ability to predict the future?" Logan couldn't help but mutter.
With a "clink!" Yuriko extended her claws and glared fiercely at Mystique, asking, "Where is the child?"
"Hmm?" Mystique paused when she saw Yuriko's steel claws, then started to laugh. "So, your genes have already been used, and you even have a child who inherited your abilities. No, it seems she didn't inherit your abilities either, your claws are different…"
"Shut up! Where is the child?!" Yuriko angrily yelled at Mystique.
"Relax, Yuriko." Logan quickly stopped Yuriko, then turned to Mystique, "How do I know you're not lying? After all, I've never seen him…"
"I knew you might not believe me, so I brought proof!" Mystique smiled faintly, took out a phone, and threw it to Logan. Logan opened the phone, and a video was playing.
It was a scene of Mystique with another blue-skinned child. The child's skin seemed a lighter shade of blue than Mystique's. Soon after, both Mystique and the child demonstrated their abilities.
They both began to transform, turning into each other's likeness. Then, three bone claws sprouted from the child's hand, somewhat different from Logan's bone claws before adamantium was fused, looking more like Logan's current steel claws, but made of bone.
"Laz perfectly inherited both of our abilities. He's not only as warlike as you, but even more so. More importantly, he inherited the best of both of us and can even shapeshift his body!" Mystique's voice carried a hint of pride. "Such an ability is not something some people can compare to!"
Mystique's words were pointed, her sarcastic target naturally being Yuriko. But unfortunately, Yuriko's expression didn't change, because she didn't even realize Mystique was talking about her. At this moment, she was only thinking about how to find this brother of hers.
"How can you let me see him?" Logan took a deep breath and stared directly at Mystique, asking.
"I just said it. Have Huang Wen restore Erik, and I'll bring Laz to meet you!" A hint of triumph appeared on Mystique's lips. "With his ability, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for him to return?"
"That's truly disappointing for you. The boss said that before he returns, we shouldn't disturb him casually." Logan shrugged and said with a smile, "So, you'll just have to wait until the boss comes back."
"Aren't you in a hurry to see him?" The smile on Mystique's lips stiffened. She narrowed her eyes, staring at Logan, trying to discern his true meaning. But Logan, after all, was an old fox who had lived for countless years, even Charles, who could read minds, had been tricked by him, let alone Mystique?
"He really can't come back?" Mystique stared straight into Logan's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"He really can't come back." Logan shrugged. "So, you should go back and wait slowly. After all, that's your child, and I believe you'll take good care of him!"
"You!" Mystique's pupils constricted slightly, and she took a deep breath. "Fine! I'd like to see how long he can travel the world. Logan, don't push me, okay? Nothing must happen to Erik!"
"I've lived for so many years, and I've never heard that the world stops turning because someone is missing!" Logan scoffed, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, you'd better not linger in Chinatown, or I'm afraid it might cause some misunderstanding, and a fight wouldn't be good. Don't even think about hiding; it'll be easy for me to find you…"
"Hmph!" Mystique snorted coldly and turned to leave the hotpot restaurant. Logan watched her depart, then withdrew his gaze.
"Xiao Qiang, activate all cameras, monitor her whereabouts, and see if we can find Laz's location!" Logan said to Zhong Qiang, who was still in a daze, eating his melon.
"Oh, alright!" Zhong Qiang quickly nodded, adjusted his watch, and issued a command through the Silly Girl program. Soon, the surrounding cameras began analyzing Mystique's behavior patterns, ultimately determining her direction.
But unfortunately, Mystique had no intention of looking for Laz. She returned directly to the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. After all, Huang Wen hadn't returned, and she couldn't stay here indefinitely. Erik still needed her care, and as for Chinatown, she could just have Charles control a random passerby to monitor it.
"This…" Just after Mystique left, another fair-skinned, beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure arrived at the Chinatown Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy. When she saw the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy undergoing renovations, she froze.
"What's going on today? Another beautiful woman has come?" The renovation team leader blinked. If it were normal times, he would have already rushed over to ask for her number and get to know her better, but the situation didn't allow it now.
"Nick Fury!" The newcomer was Natasha Romanoff, also known as the famous Black Widow. After receiving Nick Fury's soft approach plan, she dropped her previous mission and rushed over, but she didn't expect that the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy was already empty.
"No rush, I only found out Huang Wen had left after you accepted the mission." Nick Fury explained with a faint smile, "But, isn't Huang Wen's absence precisely an opportunity? You can disguise yourself to approach the other people at the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy and see if you can extract some useful intelligence…"
"Even if you can't, being able to get along with the people at the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy is a good thing. If you have a chance to learn the miraculous martial arts from Huang Wen and bring them back to the bureau, that would be a great achievement for you!"
"Alright, I understand." Black Widow took a deep breath and looked towards the hotpot restaurant.
