"It really was him, so it really was him."
In the living room of the old mansion, after learning from Yukio that the people hunting her were indeed her father and her fiancé, a trace of sorrow flashed in Miss Mariko's eyes.
Although she had already guessed it, she was still a little sad after confirmation.
"Your father and fiancé were killed by me. I saw too many sins in their memories."
Finally, Adam also revealed that he had blown up the entire Shida family estate.
Miss Mariko, upon hearing this, was not overly emotional; instead, she felt a sense of relief.
"If they're dead, they're dead. This is quite good."
To her, her fiancé was a stranger, a business partner of her father, and she felt nothing about his death.
As for her father, the moment she confirmed the truth, she gave up the last bit of affection she had for him.
In fact, her mother had passed away shortly after she was born, and her father was busy with social engagements and company matters all day, never having time for her, and never showing her any kindness.
She was raised by her Grandpa Shida Shiro, and the only family member who truly cared for her was Shida Shiro.
If these two were alive, even if she truly inherited her Grandpa's family fortune, they would certainly not let it go, and she would still be in great danger.
But to make her kill her own father with her own hands, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
So, this outcome now was not bad at all.
"Since your father and fiancé are both dead, no one will be hunting you anymore. You are safe."
Wolverine also smiled.
He had a good impression of this young lady, Miss Mariko, after protecting her all this way, and he hoped she could successfully inherit the family fortune.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Adam turned his head and looked over:
"That's right, she is indeed safe, but you are in danger."
"Me? What danger am I in?"
Wolverine was a bit bewildered.
Adam smiled:
"Someone wants your healing ability, wants your lifespan. Do you think you're in danger or not?"
"You mean Shida Shiro, but he passed away yesterday."
Wolverine replied.
When he first met Shida Shiro, Shida Shiro did mention wanting his healing ability to cure his cancer and extend his life, but he never agreed.
He was living well now, with colleagues, friends, and students. Although he didn't have a formal girlfriend, he had someone he liked and regular casual partners, and his heart was no longer as empty as before.
So he also wanted to continue living well.
And the day after he refused Shida Shiro, Shida Shiro died.
"Then what's wrong with your body?"
Adam pointed to several unhealed gunshot wounds on Wolverine's body.
"This…"
Wolverine was speechless; he also didn't know what was wrong with his body.
Seeing Wolverine's bewildered expression, Adam explained:
"I learned from Shida Shingen's memory that a long time ago, Shida Shiro began spending huge sums of money to secretly build a laboratory, researching methods of immortality as if he were insane.
So much so that the vast family enterprise faced significant problems.
He also invited a Mutant scientist named Viper to help him research how to achieve immortality.
How could such a person die without doing anything?
Also, Shida Shiro's body was not found in his coffin."
"No, my Grandpa wouldn't do such a thing. He wouldn't hurt Logan. There must be some misunderstanding!"
After hearing Adam's words, Miss Mariko's emotions suddenly became agitated. She didn't believe that her Grandpa could be the mastermind.
When she was little, her Grandpa always told her stories of how Logan saved him back then, and how grateful he was to Logan. How could he use Logan's life to extend his own?
"Miss Mariko, don't worry. We will know the truth in these two days."
Adam waved his hand at Miss Mariko, not explaining further, but looking at Wolverine again:
"Let's solve the problem with your body first."
Aiming at Wolverine's heart, a spell was chanted:
"Immobulus!"
A magic ripple emanated from Adam's hand, passing through Wolverine's body, and the wounds on Wolverine's body instantly healed after the ripple passed through.
"My healing ability has recovered!"
Feeling the fatigue in his body swept away, returning to his usual energetic state, Wolverine knew that his healing ability had recovered.
"It's not over yet."
Adam chanted again:
"Accio!"
Wolverine immediately widened his eyes, and suddenly opened his mouth. A thumb-sized metal spider flew out of his mouth and landed in front of Adam.
Wolverine's healing ability was suppressed because the Mutant Viper, while Wolverine was sleeping at night, sent this metal Little Spider she invented into Wolverine's body through a kiss.
Inside this metal spider was a toxin specially formulated by Viper for Wolverine to inhibit healing factors. After entering Wolverine's body, it immediately adsorbed onto Wolverine's heart, continuously working to inject the toxin.
The first spell Adam chanted was called the Freezing Charm.
This is a spell involving the laws of time, which can be used to immobilize creatures of not-too-large volume, similar to mosquitoes, flies, bees, and sprites, and can also affect technological items.
Wizards often like to use the Freezing Charm to temporarily disable nearby Muggle alarms.
He had just used the Freezing Charm to make the metal spider inside Wolverine's body temporarily stop working, thereby allowing Wolverine to regain his healing ability.
Then he used Accio to remove the metal spider from Wolverine's body.
"This thing suppressed your ability?"
Lady Deathstrike reached out and grabbed the metal spider suspended in mid-air, showing a curious expression.
Wolverine, seeing the metal spider, also thought of that first night:
"No wonder I kept feeling someone kissing me that night and feeding me something. So it was this thing."
"Crack!"
Lady Deathstrike, hearing this, crushed the metal spider into a pulp:
"You really can't stay quiet for a single night."
"Alright, since his target is you, he won't give up so easily.
To catch the final culprit, from now on, Yukio, Chang, and I will hide in the shadows. You should act as if we never appeared and continue living here."
After dealing with the metal spider, Adam explained his plan to lure the snake out of its hole.
As long as Wolverine was here, Shida Shiro would surely send people to lure him to that secret laboratory.
This way, he could easily find the laboratory by following behind and obtain all the Adamantium.
Everyone listened to Adam's plan and expressed their agreement. Even Miss Mariko did not object, because she believed that her Grandpa, Shida Shiro, did not do this.
