Deadpool's body flickered, instantly teleporting from the doorway several meters away to stand before Li Yue.
Li Yue's eyes narrowed at this, but he made no other move.
"You'll really give me a million?"
"Yes, a million!" Li Yue nodded, then seemed to remember something and added, "Of course, you have to finish speaking in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, I'd rather not hear the information than listen to your nonsense!"
Deadpool didn't get annoyed. Instead, he asked with a grin, "But I came here today to kill you. Since you're going to be killed by me, how am I supposed to get the money you mentioned?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers together, his meaning obvious.
Li Yue's expression remained unchanged. Calmly, he took out a checkbook from his pocket, pulled a pen from his collar, and filled out a million dollars.
Then, Li Yue tore off the check, held it in his hand, and said to Deadpool, "Now you can speak. Once you're done, it's yours!"
"Okay, Mr. Li Yue is really generous. This is the first time I've met a boss like you. If I hadn't accepted this mission to kill you, I'd be reluctant to do it!"
Deadpool's tone was cheerful, and he wanted to say more, but when he saw Li Yue's expressionless face, he quickly changed tack and coughed a few times!
"Mr. Li Yue, you are now the most wanted person in the underground black market. Your head is worth a full one billion US dollars, dead or alive!"
"As for who put the bounty on you, sorry, I don't know that either. I'm just responsible for accepting the mission. As for who the employer is, who cares?"
"One billion US dollars?"
Li Yue frowned upon hearing this. "Who exactly has such a deep hatred for me?"
This was too big a sum, and the mission specified dead or alive, so one could imagine how many desperate people would go crazy for it.
"Hey, Mr. Li Yue, you don't necessarily need to have hatred to want to kill someone. If you just don't like them, you'll naturally want to kill them, right?"
"Don't like me?"
A cold smile appeared on Li Yue's lips. "The release of the virtual device has threatened the interests of who knows how many people. Those who don't like me could line up from here to the West Coast!"
"However, there aren't many people with the power to issue such an assassination order. I think I can probably guess who it might be!"
Li Yue's expression became thoughtful, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He already had some guesses in his mind.
But guesses are just guesses. It's too early to talk about that now, especially with a guy who's all about the money eyeing him fiercely!
Deadpool had a devil-may-care attitude, but his eyes were fixed on the check in Li Yue's hand.
"Here! I always keep my word!"
Li Yue's expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his right hand, he tossed the million-dollar check in his hand to Deadpool.
"Hey! Baby, come here!"
Deadpool leaped, instantly snatching the check. He glanced at it, and after confirming it was correct, he excitedly kissed the check.
But!
"Where am I supposed to put this check?"
Deadpool was wearing a one-piece suit, red and black, with nowhere to put the check.
"Hey, Mr. Li Yue, I wonder if you could provide me with a bag or something? Otherwise, the check is hard to put away!"
"You want to kill me, but you want me to give you a bag to hold the check?" Li Yue looked amused. "Why don't you just say I should transfer the money directly!"
"The check is already yours. Whether you hold it in your hand or shove it down your pants, I'm not responsible!"
"As for the matter of you wanting to kill me? Heh heh, I say you can't kill me, do you believe me?"
Standing at the doorway, Li Yue had a faint smile on his face. He looked at Deadpool with such confidence, without any trace of tension.
"Oh?"
"Mr. Li Yue, I actually think you're a good person, but unfortunately, one billion dollars is simply too much. I'm not the only one who accepted the mission. So many people want to kill you, you're going to die sooner or later."
"Instead of dying in someone else's hands, why not die in mine? At least we had a pleasant chat, didn't we?"
"As for whether I can kill you, hey, look who's in front of you? It's me, Deadpool Wade, the most handsome and perfect man in the world. How could such a man fail?"
"Alright, Mr. Li Yue, no more talking. After I complete the mission, I still need to go check out the Little Bull bar. Tsk tsk, the girls there are really pretty, they're drop-dead gorgeous!"
Swish!
As he spoke, a dazzling silver blade light flashed through the air. The blade light streaked directly from several meters away, slashing down towards Li Yue's body.
And Li Yue?
He just stood there calmly, his expression unchanged, even maintaining a smile, completely ignoring Deadpool's blade light.
The blade slashed down, splitting Li Yue from his forehead into two.
However, after this slash, Deadpool was somewhat stunned!
"That's not right, why didn't I kill him?"
"Because you didn't hit me at all!"
Behind Deadpool, a figure suddenly appeared. Looking closely, it was actually another Li Yue!
The scene suddenly became very strange. There was a Li Yue both in front of and behind Deadpool, making it impossible to tell who was real and who was fake.
"Mutant? Superpower user? Clone technique?"
Deadpool grinned. "Hey, I knew you had some strange abilities. I should have attacked a few more times!"
"I'm always very 'fond' of my mutant brethren. For ordinary people, I usually only need one slash, but for mutants, hey, I'll give them a few extra slashes!"
"Oh? You can try there!" Li Yue's expression remained unchanged. He even pointed to his head and said, "Come on, slash here, don't be afraid, it's okay!"
"Hey, you said it!"
Deadpool smiled cunningly, instantly teleported behind one Li Yue, slashed down, taking one out, then instantly teleported behind the other Li Yue, and slashed down again, taking out the other one.
This series of actions took less than a second. After doing this, Deadpool sheathed his sword and stood still, even leisurely stretching his waist.
"Do you think you killed me?"
Li Yue's figure appeared again. This was already the third Li Yue.
"Huh, how many clones do you have? This is so troublesome!"
"Heh heh, Wade, do you know, I'm not a mutant, I belong to the superpower user category. My ability is a form of illusion control, a domain. Within my domain, everything is under my free control!"
"You're not curious why I could easily find you even though your hiding skills are so strong? It's simple. All living beings that appear within a thousand meters of me have their minds and five senses dominated by me!"
"So, I discovered you from the very beginning! I just didn't know who you were!"
"Wade, although your abilities are very strong—immortality, teleportation, laser eyes, masterful swordsmanship—your mental power is very ordinary! Your abilities might be powerful against others, but to me, from the moment you first appeared before me, everything you saw, heard, and felt was just a mental suggestion I imposed on you!"
Li Yue stood there. At this moment, everything within a thousand meters was under his mental cover, all of it illusion.
Here, as long as their mental power is not as strong as his, or their ability level is not as high as his, they cannot escape.
Deadpool has many abilities and they are very strong. Unfortunately, mental power is not his specialty.
His ability level is also not high, at most Tier 3, which is the level of a Level 3 mutant.
As for Li Yue, after several months of extensive practical training, he had already unknowingly raised his Illusion Control ability to the system's evaluated Tier 3 level.
Now, Li Yue's personal data had already undergone significant changes.
"Host: Li Yue
Age: Twenty-one years old
Strength: 17 (10)
Speed: 15 (10)
Physique: 21 (10)
Mental Power: 212 (10)
Special Ability: Illusion Control (Forms an illusion domain. Within the domain, mental illusions can be created, controlling the target's mind and five senses. The specific strength varies with the host's mental power. The stronger the mental power, the stronger the ability.)
Overall Evaluation: Tier 3!"
His mental power was much stronger than before, and its application was also more subtle.
Therefore, Deadpool fell into his illusion without even realizing it, completely unaware.
(I'm very busy with some things today. There will be more later tonight!)
