Little Laura

"The military base is good. We can send the Sentinel Robots and mutant clones in ahead of time."

Everyone thought the military bigwig’s suggestion was good. After thinking for a moment, one member asked Worthington, "Mr. Worthington, can your antidote be made into an oral medication? Then we can find a way to slip it into Iron Man’s coffee and strip him of his combat ability."

Worthington smiled. "Oral medication is no problem, but Iron Man drinks tea, not coffee."

Everyone laughed. The leader said, "Then put it in his tea. General Wright, to ensure success, you will personally host Iron Man during this ambush."

General Wright was the military bigwig, of the same rank as General Anthony. Having him personally receive Iron Man would lower Iron Man’s guard as much as possible—Iron Man had already inspected him several times.

General Wright hesitated. This was truly a do-or-die gamble. The leader said, "General Wright, we have no way back this time. Whether the ambush succeeds or fails, we will have to confront Iron Man head-on."

General Wright gritted his teeth and nodded. "Fine. I’ll host him personally and give him the antidote."

"Very good."

The leader nodded in satisfaction. "Once Iron Man is dead, we’ll immediately take control of President Richard and hunt mutants across the entire country. I’ve waited a very, very long time for this day."

"So have we."

Everyone nodded. One member suggested, "Mr. Vice President, why don’t we just kill President Richard and let you take over? I’ve disliked him for a long time. He’s human, yet he acts like a dog for mutants."

That was right. The leader of the Human Supremacy Organization was the deeply hidden Vice President.

The Vice President smiled. "That would cause too much chaos. Once the situation settles down, we can send that dog to Hell."

"That’s true. He’s getting off easy."

Everyone nodded and eagerly discussed how to ambush Iron Man. After a while, they settled on a detailed plan, though they did not set a specific time because Iron Man’s schedule could not yet be confirmed.

The Vice President stood and shouted, "Go back and make every preparation! Destroy Iron Man! Destroy the mutants! Humanity above all!"

"Humanity above all!"

All the members stood and shouted at once. The doom of Iron Man and the mutants was about to arrive.

After the meeting, Dr. Rice was in a very good mood. He even opened a bottle of red wine in the car to celebrate. Then he received bad news.

"Those mutant children escaped the research facility with the help of some staff members."

Alkali Studio had two research projects. One involved mutant clones, while the other involved using mutant DNA to breed mutant descendants.

To defeat Iron Man, Dr. Rice had focused all his attention on the clones during this period and neglected those mutant descendants. As a result, they had seized the opportunity to escape the laboratory.

"Get them back immediately! Otherwise, not only will you die, I’ll die too!"

Dr. Rice roared. Once Iron Man learned about Alkali Studio, he definitely would not spare him. With the other man’s Money Power, finding him would be all too easy.

"Don’t worry. We’ve trapped them on a mountain. There are no phones or signals there, so they can’t contact the outside world."

His subordinate hurriedly said, "We’ll capture those staff members and mutant children as quickly as possible."

"Send a helicopter over. I’m going back immediately. Also, prepare the clones of Wolverine and Sabretooth. I’m taking them to capture those children."

Dr. Rice shouted. This matter was far too important. He had to handle it personally.

"Damn it, how could something like this happen at a time like this?"

Dr. Rice angrily slammed his fist against the car door. He could only hope everything went smoothly. Otherwise, there would be trouble—not only would he be in danger, but the Human Supremacy Organization’s plan would also be affected.

After hesitating, Dr. Rice forced himself to call the Vice President and explain what had happened.

The Vice President cursed furiously. "You pull this kind of stunt at a time like this? Are you trying to get us all killed?"

Dr. Rice hurriedly said, "Mr. Vice President, I didn’t want this either. Fortunately, we still have a chance to save the situation."

"We can’t let our guard down. We must prepare for failure."

After thinking for a moment, the Vice President said, "Dr. Rice, prepare to cut off the tail to survive. No matter what, we cannot let Iron Man discover our plan. Otherwise, we’re dead."

"I understand what to do."

Dr. Rice hesitated, but quickly nodded. As long as Iron Man was killed, any losses could be recovered.

That night, Wolverine Logan suddenly cried out and sat upright in bed, drenched in cold sweat. Even his claws had extended.

"Logan, what’s wrong? You haven’t lost control like this in a long time."

Silver Fox woke with a start and hurriedly placed her hand on Wolverine, using her power to soothe his rage.

"I just had a dream. A very real dream."

Wolverine retracted his claws, hesitated, then said, "I dreamed that I was hunting down a little girl. That girl felt very familiar to me, like… like she was my daughter."

"You were hunting your daughter?"

Silver Fox was stunned. She asked, "Logan, isn’t that dream a little too bizarre?"

"That person didn’t seem to be me. He looked just like me, but younger."

Wolverine said irritably, "How should I put it? I don’t think it was a dream."

"If it wasn’t a dream, then what was it? Even though your genes have been completed, you can’t see the future."

Silver Fox asked. Last month, at Wolverine’s pleading, Wang Bert had helped complete his genes—Wolverine had begged Wang Bert because Yuriko had beaten him up several times, and each beating had been absolutely miserable.

"Could it be a side effect of completing my genes?"

Wolverine blinked. "The BOSS can be pretty unserious when he does things."

"You think the BOSS is as much of a mess as you are? He has never made a mistake in important matters."

After thinking for a moment, Silver Fox said, "Go back to sleep. Tomorrow, we’ll ask the BOSS what’s going on. Maybe that girl really is your daughter, a daughter you secretly had with some woman."

Wolverine blinked, feeling a little guilty. Over the past few decades, he had been with countless women. Having a daughter turn up would be perfectly normal.

Silver Fox sensed Wolverine’s thoughts and snorted. Too lazy to bother with him, she turned over and went to sleep. Wolverine scratched his head awkwardly. Could I be a scumbag like Magneto?…

The next morning, in the Rebirth Group office, Wang Bert frowned and asked, "A little girl? A little girl with Mexican blood?"

Wolverine was stunned. "How did you know?"

"The plot of Wolverine 3?"

Wang Bert stroked his chin. The story of "Wolverine 3" took place in the future. At that time, because of genetically altered food, no new mutants were born. Meanwhile, old mutants had suffered massive casualties due to the Professor’s outburst, leaving only a handful alive.

Even so, humanity still did not spare the mutants. The villains used mutant genes to create a group of mutant children. One of them was Wolverine’s daughter, Laura, X-23!

Because the plot took place in the future, Wang Bert had not paid much attention to it. He had not expected it to happen ahead of time on Mutant Planet.

Wang Bert took out a stack of banknotes and activated Money Power. "I want to see that little girl and know her location."

Money Power activated. A light screen appeared in the office. On it, a little girl pierced a mercenary’s throat with Adamantium claws. Her face was filled with ferocity, like a little wolf.

Looking at Laura, Silver Fox said to Wolverine with a teasing smile, "Those claws, that wildness—no one would believe she wasn’t your daughter."

Wolverine was a little embarrassed. At that moment, the light screen vanished. He turned to Wang Bert and asked, "BOSS, is she really my daughter?"

"Most likely."

Wang Bert shrugged. "I’ve been a little busy lately and can’t spare the time. Logan, handle this yourself."

Wolverine said, "No problem, but you need to tell me where she is first."

"Don’t worry. I’ll give you enough help. First, an assistant."

Wang Bert snapped his fingers, and a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the office. Upon seeing Wolverine, he excitedly greeted him, "Jimmy."

"Sabretooth!"

The instant Wolverine saw Sabretooth, he stepped in front of Silver Fox to prevent him from hurting her—Silver Fox had told him about what happened back then.

"Don’t worry. I owe her a huge favor. I won’t hurt her."

Sabretooth smiled. A few months ago, Silver Fox had recognized Big Teeth as Sabretooth. After hesitating, she told Wolverine and Wang Bert about it. Wang Bert then used Money Power to heal Sabretooth.

After recovering his memories, Sabretooth chose to betray Magneto and join Wang Bert, working for him.

Wolverine asked Wang Bert, "Can I switch partners? The moment I see this guy, I want to punch him."

"Sorry, no. Out of everyone, he has the most free time."

Wang Bert shook his head. Then he took out a phone and placed it on the desk. "Investigate first. Once you’ve figured things out, call Wade with this phone. He’ll bring people from the Security Company to help you."

"I don’t need anyone’s help."

Wolverine said arrogantly. He was no longer who he used to be. Now, he was incredibly strong.

"Logan, there may be other mutant children involved."

Wang Bert said, "I’ll send you there now. Be careful."

"There are other mutant children? Is someone experimenting on mutants again?"

Wolverine cursed and slipped the phone into his pocket. Those damned humans—why were they always targeting mutants? Silver Fox thought for a moment and said, "BOSS, I want to go with them. I can calm those children down."

"Fine. Watch your own safety."

Wang Bert did not refuse. With a wave of his hand, the three of them vanished at once.

"I’m not going because I don’t have time. I’m worried I’ll disrupt the Human Supremacy Organization’s plan. The organization that created Laura definitely has connections to the Human Supremacy Organization."

Wang Bert cursed unhappily, "What a trash organization. They’re such failures that they actually need me, their ‘victim,’ to patch up their loopholes."

If the Human Supremacy Organization did not attack Wang Bert, how could Wang Bert uproot them with justification? The Human Supremacy Organization’s members were generally high-ranking humans. To move against them, he needed a reason the public could accept.

In a forest somewhere in Mexico, Little Wolf Girl Laura was fighting fiercely against a group of guards. Her body was covered in blood, some her own and some the enemy’s. Seven or eight guards lay dead around her, all killed by her.

With a shout, Laura pounced on a guard and repeatedly drove her claws into his chest. Unlike Wolverine’s three claws, she only had two, but they were also made of Adamantium.

Just then, a harpoon shot through Laura’s body from behind. The guard yanked hard, and Laura was forced to fall to the ground and slide backward.

Two guards stepped forward and viciously pinned Laura’s arms under their boots. Then another guard raised his rifle butt, preparing to knock Laura unconscious.

At that moment, three figures appeared out of thin air. They were Wolverine, Sabretooth, and Silver Fox. Seeing Laura’s miserable state, Wolverine’s eyes immediately turned red. He extended his claws into one guard’s chest, lifted him high, and smashed him into the guard raising the rifle butt.

The guards were shocked and opened fire at Wolverine and Sabretooth. The two men grinned savagely and charged through the bullets, slaughtering everyone in their path. Blood, severed limbs, and body parts flew everywhere.

Taking advantage of the guards’ distraction, Laura kicked backward, driving the blade in her foot into one guard’s head—she had blades in her feet as well, unlike Wolverine.

Next, Laura freed her right hand and stabbed the guard on her left in the calf. The guard screamed and collapsed. Laura climbed up and tore open his throat with her claws.

After killing the two guards, Laura forcibly pulled the harpoon from her body. Then she sliced through the rope with her claws. She did not blink once throughout the process, let alone scream.

"Jimmy, she’s much tougher than you were as a kid. You used to cry when you got injections. I like this girl."

Sabretooth tore open a guard’s chest and shouted in admiration.

"This isn’t how a child should act. Those damned bastards."

Wolverine furiously killed the last guard. Then he retracted his claws and walked over to Laura. His mouth opened, but he did not know what to say. Was she really his daughter? Laura watched Wolverine and Sabretooth warily like a little wolf, with no intention of retracting her claws.

Silver Fox gestured for the two tough guys to move farther away. Then she walked up to Laura and gently asked, "Hello. We mean you no harm. We’re here to help you. Do you speak English?"

Silver Fox’s gentleness slightly eased the hostility on Laura’s face. Seizing the chance, Silver Fox placed a hand on her shoulder and used her power to soothe her.

This was not difficult for Silver Fox, because she often soothed Wolverine this way.

Laura’s gaze gradually softened. She retracted her claws, stood, and pointed at Wolverine, signaling for him to follow her.

Silver Fox turned and said, "Looks like she knows you."

Wolverine shrugged. "I can’t tell."

Silver Fox said to Laura, "We’ll follow you. Lead the way."

Laura nodded and led the three of them nimbly through the forest. Before long, they arrived at a cave. Inside was an injured Mexican woman. When she saw Wolverine and the others, she shouted in surprise, "God, I’ve finally found you."

Wolverine carefully looked the woman over twice and realized he did not know her. He could not help asking, "What exactly is going on? Who is she, and what does she have to do with me?"
