Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 69 You should know that even the Archdruid's Transfiguration has a CD.
Anything related to Zha Kang cannot be explained by common sense, and the situation of the guy in front of him being ambushed by someone really took an unexpected turn.
After learning that Zha Kang had fifteen days to live, the members of Team K were glad for his survival, but at the same time they all said that he deserved to be punished for his behavior.
But after all, he is one of our own, so we have to save him.
But the rescue operation cannot begin now. Just like the last time when he sneaked into the watchtower to rescue the kite man, this matter obviously requires a safe plan and the difficulty this time is far greater than last time.
This time, there is no boss on the other side to help Team K.
"Mason, Miss Anna is here."
Barbara pushed open the door of the study and said to Mason, who was writing furiously at the desk:
"She said she brought news of the 'traitor.'
"Please ask her to come in."
Mason stopped writing, closed his notebook and put it in the drawer and said to Barbara.
A minute later, when Miss Anna was "escorted" to the study by Er Tong, who was holding a sharp blade, what she saw was Mason holding a detector and the demon superman Bizarro standing at the door with his fists clenched, ready to strike at any time.
"Excuse me for the offense."
The captain raised the detector in his hand, and Miss Anna, who was still dressed in the classic style of a member of the Star Society, nodded. She knew the seriousness of the situation at this moment, so she opened her arms as if going through security check, and let Mason use the detector to circle around her.
"Both signals are still active, no problem."
Mason nodded to Bucket Two.
The latter released his fingers from the hilt and then left the study, guarding there with Bizarro on the left and right. Mason is the core of Team K, and his safety must be taken seriously.
In the study, Miss Anna took off her mask and looked at the two light spots on the detector in Mason's hand. She said in a bad tone:
"When did you put the locator on me?"
"Last time we talked."
Mason put down the detector, pulled out a chair for Miss Anna to sit down, poured her a glass of juice, and explained:
"At that time, I just thought it was better to be prepared. No one wants to see this identification method really come in handy. Let's talk business. Have you caught the traitor in your team who sold me to the warlock?"
"We have a suspect, but we haven't taken action yet."
Miss Anna held the juice with a headache on her face and said to Mason:
"If you hadn't provided me with the information, I would have found it hard to imagine that there would be such a traitor in my team. I'm sorry, Mason, because my mistake put you in danger."
"Don't apologize at this time, solving the problem is the most important thing.
Don't be too quick to doubt whether your team members have really betrayed you. Judging from the information we have so far, this matter may be more complicated than you think.
I'm designing a plan to help you find the traitor. It'll take some time, but I can do it in a few hours. You'll need to bring your team here in a while.
Let’s resolve this matter as quickly as possible.”
Mason waved his hands and said:
"Also, I didn't ask you to come here today just for the traitor's matter. You asked me to help you find the missing Phantom Cat. The good news is that we found her."
"Snap"
The cup in Miss Anna's hand was crushed to pieces.
She stood up with a look of surprise, shook Mason's hand, and said:
"Really? Where's Katie? Oh my god, I thought she was gone... Take me to see her! We both miss her so much. We used to share a bunk bed at Xavier's.
She is my best sister.”
"Calm down first. I said if there is good news, there must be bad news."
Mason calmed the excited Miss Anna, or should he call her Rakshasa or Little Naughty Girl.
There's a big difference between these two nicknames.
It's just like the contrast between the guy next door, Lao Wang, who is a cowardly husband looked down upon by his wife's family at home, but secretly a tough guy like the retired soldier or the crooked-mouthed dragon king.
I always feel there is a kind of contrast.
"She is receiving daily treatment and will be awake in an hour."
Mason checked the time on his watch and said to the Rakshasa woman in front of him:
"She has had a terrible time over the past decade, worse than you could imagine. Her spirit is completely destroyed, her memory is in disarray, and I feel like she might not even recognize you.
In addition, I have also found out the results of my investigation into the tragedy at Xavier College seventeen years ago."
He took out a handwritten document and handed it to Anna, who looked astonished. Anna took it in her hand, read it briefly, and clenched her fists in shock. After reading it, she fell into a long silence.
She sat in the chair without saying a word, as if trying to convince herself to accept this cruel reality.
After several minutes she looked up at Mason and said in a hoarse voice:
“So…so the big transfer seventeen years ago was all a scam?
We just hope that the Council will rise as the first victim, but I don’t understand, since our compatriots from another world were among those who participated in the rescue.
Are they involved too?"
"I can't judge this at the moment. Maybe they are also kept in the dark."
Mason took a sip of tea and explained:
"Most traces of what happened back then have been wiped clean. If we want to dig deeper, we can only look for clues in Utopia. But before I go there, I have to confirm your opinion on this matter, Anna."
"My opinion?"
The Rakshasa woman looked at the document in her hand and said with gritted teeth:
"My opinion is that I will crush them all with my own hands! All those who participated in that incident will never have a good life! You tell me how to do it, Mason.
Team Aix will definitely follow your lead in this matter!
Even if you say you want to leave the Star Club now, I will convince the team members to go with you. This damn place used to make me feel sick, but now I just want to burn it down. "
"very good."
Mason nodded.
He expected Anna's reaction, as this X-Man has always been clear about gratitude and resentment.
He put down the teacup and said to the Rakshasa woman:
"I have a plan that requires your participation. The first thing you need to do is to hurry up and get yourself dressed up. Then, get yourself a formal dress to attend your promotion ceremony."
"ah?"
The little rascal, who was ready to draw his knife and chop someone, was completely stunned.
She looked at Mason.
The latter explained to her that after the Red Skull was killed, a seat on the Council of Twelve became vacant, and Hunter and Mason planned to push Team Axe to the position.
This "surprise" caught people off guard.
Although Team Ex did sign up for the Council of Twelve's promotion process before, that was only to better conceal their secret identities.
These mutant X-Men who lost their homeland seventeen years ago had no intention of actually being promoted to the top of the StarCraft, so how come an A-level seat suddenly fell on their heads?
Miss Anna felt a little dizzy for a moment.
It was not until a few minutes later that Old Wolf was called over. When he pushed the door and walked into the study, he saw Anna head-on. His rejuvenated face was immediately filled with emotion and complex feelings.
"Anna...you have grown up..."
Logan said dryly, awakening the Rakshasa woman who was in deep thought. The latter raised her head, and a strand of white hair at the front of her unique chestnut hair jumped a few times.
She looked at the old wolf with the same complicated eyes.
When she was still young, she couldn't control her awakened abilities, which led to several accidental escapes from home. It was Logan who unexpectedly met her and escorted her all the way to Xavier College.
Even when she was in danger, it was Logan who sacrificed his life force to save Anna several times.
The relationship between the two men is complicated.
There was even a time when Anna considered Logan her adoptive father.
"You...you killed them?"
She stood up and stood in front of Logan, looking into his guilty eyes, she sighed and said:
"That must have felt terrible, right?"
"I thought your reaction would be more violent, like rushing over and sucking my life force out. That's more like what you would do."
The old wolf shook his head and said:
“It’s simply a nightmare. Perhaps I will never be able to escape from it until I die, but perhaps before I die I can seek some justice for them and wipe the blood off my hands.
What about you?
How have you been these years?
I heard Mason talk about Utopia, are you guys doing okay there?"
"You are talking in vain."
The little rascal sighed and said:
"If it's really as good as my hometown, I wouldn't have to bring everyone to join the Star Club. Doesn't Liana stay in the Star Castle all year round?
It is indeed the mutants' home, but it is not our home.
It's very different from Xavier College.
Even the Brotherhood of Mutants might be better, but it's good to have you back.
You, Katie, Emma, you are family.
I think everyone will be happy to meet you.”
"Logan, take Anna to meet Katie and Emma."
Mason waited for the two to finish their reminiscence, then said to the old wolf:
"I have to hurry up and finish the task at hand. If we allow the traitor to continue his activities, it will pose a huge risk to us. Once I finish designing this device, we will catch him."
"it?"
Logan captured Mason's words and said:
"Do you suspect that the traitor around Anna is the strange thing you just captured?"
"Well, most likely."
Mason returned to his chair and continued to perfect the design of the drawing in front of him. Without even looking up, he said:
"Also, Logan, your leisure time in Osborne Tower may have to end early. My arrangements in the other world have been affected by the appearance of the Skrulls, and I need to make some 'compensatory measures'.
You and Black Bolt are my patch to the plan."
"I can leave anytime!"
The old wolf said seriously:
"Your enemy is my enemy."
Twenty minutes after Logan and Anna left the study, Mason also entered his engineering laboratory, where his newly accepted "apprentice" Harry Osborn was already waiting.
"The next two hours of work is to complete the modification of the biological bait bomb."
Mason said to young Osborne:
"The 'teaching pace' may be a bit fast, so if you can't keep up, just speak up."
"It's all right, Mr. Mason."
And the weak little Osborne said modestly:
"I have finished reading the documentation for this strange technology and have a certain understanding of its principles and structure. I think I can keep up."
"It's been less than an hour and a half since I sent you that instruction manual?"
Mason looked at the little Osborne on crutches in surprise and said suspiciously:
"Are you sure you understand?"
"Well, I'm not as talented as Peter, Mr. Mason, but I do have a Ph.D. after all."
Little Osborn smiled, picked up a biological bait bomb at hand, and quickly opened the outer shell to reveal the mysterious and sophisticated structure inside. This made Mason laugh.
Well, he ignored that.
Harry Osborn inherited the old Green Goblin's talent in engineering. Before the accident, he was able to independently improve the old Green Goblin's armor and aircraft.
Sure enough, none of these guys who can become big villains are simple.

"This place is so desolate. Looking at this wasteland, it really makes people feel uncomfortable."
A few hours later, at the call of Anna Marie, all members of Team Axe passed through the World Gate and arrived at Osborne Tower. When they saw the wasteland in the distance outside the window, the leather-clad King of Cards immediately complained to Shockwave, who was wearing a mask beside him:
" How ?"
"That's a lot."
Shockwave chewed gum and pouted:
"You've seen those specially preserved garden worlds, with birds singing and flowers blooming, just like paradise on earth."
"That's a 'pig farm', it's different."
The "bullet" with short stubble and dressed like a little gangster said coldly:
"Compared to staying there, I feel that this desolate scene in front of me is more real...Where is Anna? Didn't she come here a long time ago?"
"Shua"
The glass door of the top floor lounge opened at this moment, and Anna walked in with Logan. Mason followed her and looked at the dozen or so people of different heights standing in front of them.
These are the mutants who survived the nuclear war seventeen years ago, and most of them were already official members of the X-Men before the war.
He could identify a few people by their appearance, but the rest were unfamiliar to him.
This is normal. Mutants have various abilities, and one X-Men team cannot fully summarize this race.
"Logan!"
The King of Cards recognized Old Wolf at a glance.
With some surprise, he quickly walked up to Old Wolf and hugged him. They used to be friends, and this guy was also Anna's husband.
When the disaster occurred seventeen years ago, he was accompanying Anna and the others on a mission in Europe and escaped the Old Wolf's massacre at Xavier College.
"Hello, fellow countrymen."
Mason took the initiative to step forward and greet the members of Team Aix. He placed the gift box in his hand on the table in front of them, untied the exquisite bow, and said:
"Welcome to Team K's base world for the first time. I have a gift for you."
Some guys in the crowd laughed, feeling comfortable with Mason's attitude.
But as the gift box was opened, an activated red biological bait bomb exploded in front of everyone's eyes.
A shock wave accompanied by forced genetic modification erupted from Mason's palm in a ring shape, instantly enveloping everyone in the lounge.
Mason's Isu blood makes him immune to the effects.
But the others were all astonished as the "technological sheep transformation technique" was applied to them. They could feel their bodies changing. In just a moment, they changed from their appearances with different postures to a bunch of "bleating sheep" crashing around on the ground.
This thing was improved to strengthen genetic mutation but completely eliminate the accompanying destructive power, and the effective time was also greatly shortened. In less than a second, those who were changed returned to normal.
But everyone else transformed directly from the bleating sheep back to their original forms.
There was only one unique guy in the crowd who first turned his skin back to green, but then reacted in an instant and changed back into yellow clothes, wearing a cape and a big bald head.
It reflects very quickly.
The secondary deformation didn't even take more than 0.5 seconds, but it still looked desperate.
It's exposed.
“He loves us!”
The guy roared and babbled as he pounced on Mason, forming a crystal-shaped purple bomb in his hand, but faster than his reaction were the steel claws that popped out and the figure that pounced on him.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
The Skrull was pushed by the angry old wolf and pushed through the furniture in the lounge and was finally nailed to the wall. The crystal bomb that flew out of its hand was also accurately caught in the palm of Mason's hand. The five fingers of his left hand flew and disassembled it into parts before it exploded.
Everyone else was in shock.
They were even prepared to besiege Mason, but the development of the situation was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
"This is my gift to you, my fellow countrymen."
Mason threw the crystal bomb fragments into the trash can and said to the mutants who were watching him:
"I will dig out the cancer hidden in your body, so that you don't have to worry about the bullet from behind... You're welcome, this is what I should do. Finally, welcome to Osborne Tower.
You’ll like it here.”
