Chapter 161 - Chapter 162: Trip to Tokyo

"Teacher Yuriko Oyama, have you seen Wolverine?"

Leaving the dormitory, Adam searched the school but couldn't find Wolverine, so he went to Lady Deathstrike, who had an ambiguous relationship with Logan.

Given Tony Stark's personality, it would probably be difficult to get him to put aside his time researching weapons, Iron Man Suits, and chasing women to help him break through gravity technology.

As for Dr. Banner, he still didn't know where he was and needed to ask Director Fury.

Getting top scientists from Director Fury would certainly not be an easy task.

So he decided to get Vibranium and Adamantium first, as there was clear information on both.

He wasn't sure about the black market dealer's intelligence, but Wakanda was a certainty; the location of this small African country could be found on a map.

He couldn't remember the name of the place in Japan that had a large amount of Adamantium, but Wolverine definitely still had an impression of it.

He planned to research the Undetectable Extension Charm and make a box similar to Newt's after mastering Apparition.

Made of Adamantium and Vibranium, it wouldn't be easily damaged in battle.

"Logan, he went to Tokyo. He said an old friend who is about to pass away wanted to see him."

Lady Deathstrike replied.

Adam was stunned to hear this:

"What a coincidence. Do you know the name of his old friend?"

"Shida Shiro, he's Japan's top entrepreneur. If Logan hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known Logan once saved this celebrity."

Lady Deathstrike nodded.

Before being controlled by Stryker, she had also lived in Japan, so how could she not know this prominent entrepreneur who was famous throughout the country?

"How many days has he been gone?"

Adam asked.

"He left yesterday morning with a girl named Yukio.

Professor said that girl is also a Mutant, but she wasn't willing to stay and join the school."

Lady Deathstrike briefly described what happened yesterday.

Yesterday, when Wolverine went out for a drink at a bar, he met a girl named Yukio from Tokyo, who said that Shida Shiro, whom Wolverine had saved during World War II, was dying and wanted to see Wolverine one last time to express his gratitude in person.

Originally, Wolverine was unwilling to go; for him, it was a very distant memory.

However, he couldn't resist Yukio's persistence, and thinking that there wasn't much going on recently, and staying at school to teach history to students wasn't his style, he agreed.

"Logan is in danger. Prepare the X-Jet. We're leaving for Tokyo now."

After listening to Lady Deathstrike's narration, Adam immediately understood what was going on.

If he remembered correctly, that guy named Shida Shiro wasn't trying to repay Wolverine, his former savior, at all, but rather wanted to absorb Wolverine's healing ability to achieve immortality.

"In danger? But Professor said that girl wasn't lying."

Upon hearing that Wolverine was in danger, Lady Deathstrike's face immediately tensed up.

Her feelings for Wolverine were complex; Wolverine was the man who killed her father, and although the reason wasn't Wolverine's fault, her father ultimately died by Wolverine's hand.

But at the same time, she secretly liked Wolverine.

So she always couldn't overcome that hurdle in her heart and truly develop a romantic relationship with Wolverine.

They would only console each other physically when needed, and afterward, they would return to being normal friends.

Wolverine was the same; after recovering his memory, he could never forget his first wife, Keira, and at the same time, he found it difficult to let go of Phoenix, Jean Grey.

"That girl wasn't lying, but that doesn't mean that guy named Shida Shiro wasn't lying."

Adam had Lady Deathstrike pilot the X-Jet while he stayed in the back, continuing to research spells.

The Mutant named Yukio indeed hadn't lied, because she simply didn't know Shida Shiro's plan.

As for why he didn't just fly over using Flying Technique but chose to take Lady Deathstrike with him in the X-Jet.

That was because New York was too far from Japan, and if he flew over by himself, he would probably be blown away like an idiot.

Moreover, it would be a waste of time; it was better to take the X-Jet, which wasn't slow, and he could research magic inside.

It just so happened that Lady Deathstrike could pilot the X-Jet and was a local. Taking her along meant he wouldn't be completely lost, as he didn't know much Japanese beyond "Yamete Yamete."

At ten o'clock at night, the invisible X-Jet landed on the outskirts of Tokyo. Adam used Flying Technique to fly Lady Deathstrike into downtown Tokyo.

"Where do we find Logan?"

Landing on the roof of a tall building, Lady Deathstrike's eyes showed confusion as she looked down at the bustling and crowded streets of Tokyo.

She hadn't been back in a long time, and in this vast sea of people, how could she know where Logan had been taken?

"Of course, we'll go to Shida Shiro's mansion first. Do you know where his home is?"

Adam replied as a matter of course.

Yukio and Wolverine arrived in Tokyo yesterday, and perhaps they were still staying at Shida Shiro's mansion today.

If Shida Shiro wasn't faking his death when they arrived, he could conveniently get Adamantium from Shida Shiro.

If Shida Shiro had already faked his death and was in hiding, and Wolverine had also been attacked and fled, they could at least find clues about Wolverine from Shida Shiro's son.

As long as they found Wolverine, then by waiting patiently, they would surely find Shida Shiro.

"I don't know either."

Lady Deathstrike shook her head. How could ordinary people like them know the private residence of an important figure like Shida Shiro? Even powerful officials and dignitaries didn't know much.

Adam nodded, not surprised or disappointed, but simply picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Director Fury, I need to know the location of Shida Shiro's mansion."

It was impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. not to have relevant information on someone like Shida Shiro, who controlled a large part of the country's economy.

So he could directly ask Director Fury about such matters.

So far, he and Director Fury were still in a cooperative relationship; he secretly helped Director Fury deal with the politicians who restricted S.H.I.E.L.D., and Director Fury, in turn, allowed his company to develop smoothly.

"I'll send it to you right away, Adam. If you have time, come to the Triskelion and have a chat. I have some things I want to discuss with you."

Indeed, Director Fury was very straightforward about this small favor.

"Okay, then the day after tomorrow. I'll come to see you the day after tomorrow."

Director Fury was straightforward, and Adam was equally straightforward. It just so happened that he also planned to ask Director Fury for information on some top scientists, or to see if he could get some gravity technology from S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D. had hidden many technologies beyond modern science over the years.

Moreover, Director Fury also had a partnership with the Skrulls, whose civilization was once one of the best in the Universe.
