[43] Tokyo, Brian is a Villain after all.

Racism Warning!!

P.S: This chapter isn't intended to promote any form of racism.

In Marvel, the Yashida Family is Racist. For instance, in Marvel's The Wolverine, when Logan travels to Japan, he faces stereotypes and is seen as a crazy foreigner by the Yashida family and is ridiculed every time.

____________

Haneda Airport, Tokyo, Japan.

A flight from New York is slowly landing.

"Every time.. Every time he used to beat me when I used a fork just for my mother to come and soothe me.."

In the first-class cabin of the plane, Brian was reading a magazine with a tutorial of eating ramen with a chopstick while muttering.

Brian was a second-generation Asian who was born in the West, so he had never used chopsticks and preferred to eat with a fork when with his friends. He had a strained relationship with his father, which contributed to his dislike for chopsticks since his childhood. 

"Well, since we'll be in Japan, let's give it a try..." he muttered as he focused on the magazine again.

Next to Brian are Erik, still not fully recovered, and Raven.

"Raven, what's going on with Brian?" Magneto asked, noticing Brian's strange demeanor, something he hadn't seen before. He looked at Raven with confusion.

"Erik, Brian did not have a good father. I guess coming to Asia is revealing all his memories of his Asian father."

"No wonder he's been acting so strange since we got to Tokyo," Magneto said, understanding.

Just an hour ago, Professor X had used the brainwave enhancer to search globally and finally located two Mutants with healing abilities. One of them was in Tokyo, Japan.

The other Mutant was in Egypt.

Professor X planned to recruit both Mutants simultaneously, originally assigning Brian to Egypt to bring in the Mutant there. However, Brian had no interest in the Egyptian Mutant. He declined Professor X's arrangement and insisted on joining the team headed to Tokyo.

While Magneto and Raven were talking, the plane door opened, and Brian took the lead, walking out without hesitation.

"Let's first eat something! Let's see if my Adaptive evolution can adapt to chopsticks!" he sneered as he stepped onto the ground at Haneda Airport.

He wasn't here to recruit Mayumi Yashida the wife of Shingen Yashida. On the contrary, he was here to eliminate her.

To put it simply, Brian had come to Tokyo with a purpose: to plunder Mayumi Yashida's overwhelming potential ability, which, according to Professor X, was related to life energy.

"How about we find a ramen shop nearby?" Raven chimed.

"Heh."

They soon found themselves in a cozy, bustling ramen shop. As they took their seats, Brian picked up the chopsticks, attempting to use them with a focused determination.

"Fuck!"

But after a few tries, he sighed, reaching for a fork instead.

Across the room, a few members of the Tokyo Mangi gang—a notorious group of street delinquents—noticed and began laughing, loudly enough for Brian to hear.

"Krrazzy Americans lol(Crazy Americans)"

"Oi, you look Asian, mama didn't thought you how to eat—"

However, before he could finish speaking, Brian casually raised a finger.

Boom.

The gang leader's body was flung back hundreds of meters as if struck by a speeding train, crashing into a plane preparing for takeoff. He was dead instantly.

"Let's go to the Yashida family," Brian said, ignoring the horrified stares around him. He turned to Magneto and Raven, giving them a calm directive, then opened his right hand.

From the parking lot nearby, a sleek convertible Mercedes-Benz was pulled over to them by Psychokinesis. Brian walked up to the driver's seat, using his power to toss out the occupants. Once Magneto and Raven were settled in the car, Brian hit the accelerator and drove off.

Before leaving Haneda Airport, Brian summoned several tornadoes, sending them toward the Tokyo crowd waiting for flights inside the terminal.

The tornadoes expanded rapidly, tearing through Haneda Airport in seconds. Passengers in the terminal were swept up, many torn apart by the intense winds.

"It's a pity I don't have Homelander's laser vision," Brian said with a hint of regret as he drove. "It'd be cool to just clear out a large area in one go."

Neither Raven nor Magneto found anything wrong with Brian's actions.

Magneto was a Mutant supremacist and Raven had a love filter on Brian. Still, Brian gave some mental signals to them just to be sure.

"Magneto, tell me about the Yashida family," Brian said, glancing at him while driving.

"The Yashida family was founded by Shiro Yashida, a former officer during World War II. It's rumored that Shiro personally survived the Nagasaki nuclear explosion. Over the past ten years, Shiro has built his wealth and influence through the so-called Bushido code and has become one of the most powerful figures in Tokyo," Magneto explained.

"Shiro's son, Shingen Yashida, controls Tokyo's underground forces and has expanded the Yashida family's reach. Mayumi Yashida is Shingen's wife."

Brian nodded, taking in the details without comment.

In fact, Brian knew even more about the Yashida family than Magneto. The Yashida family plays the villains in The Wolverine. In 1945, Logan, had arrived in Nagasaki by chance and ended up saving a young officer during the nuclear blast. That officer was Shiro Yashida.

Shiro Yashida witnessed Logan, withstand a nuclear explosion.

After Logan saved him, Shiro Yashida not only failed to appreciate Logan's life-saving act but later turned against him.

In 2013, Shiro faked his death to lure Logan to Japan and devised a plan to extract Logan's self-healing factor, leading to Logan's gradual decline as the Adamantium in his body began to poison him, diminishing his healing ability.

Essentially, Wolverine saved a cunning, ungrateful individual who later betrayed him.

This family was growing rapidly. In the movies, they also managed to take Logan's healing factor. Like Dr. Trask they can be a problem to the mutants so after learning about the existence of the Yashida family, the antagonists in Wolverine's story, our Homelander was determined to wipe out this family entirely.

Half an hour later, Brian, Magneto, and Raven arrived at the Yashida estate in central Tokyo.

As one of the wealthiest families, controlling 90% of Tokyo's assets, the Yashida family estate was sprawling. Though not as expansive as Professor X's Xavier Manor, it was still sizable, about a tenth in scale.

At this moment, the Yashida estate was bustling with guests. Today marked Shiro Yashida's 60th birthday, and as the head of the most influential conglomerate in the country, nearly half of Japan's high-ranking officials had gathered to pay their respects.

In front of the Yashida estate's main gate, the crowd was lively with guests arriving to celebrate Shiro Yashida's birthday.

Brian looked coldly at the two Yakuza guards blocking his way.

"Who are you?" one of the tattooed Yakuza guards demanded.

"Baka, I asked you a question…"

Before the Yakuza guards could finish speaking, Brian had already clenched his fist.

Psst. Psst.

The two Yakuza guards were instantly crushed into a blood mist by his Psychokinesis.

Brian walked leisurely into the Yashida family estate.

Hualala.

As soon as Brian entered, hundreds of security personnel quickly surrounded him. These guards were fully armed and highly equipped.

"It's an intruder! Take him down!" one of the security guards shouted.

Da-da-da.

A rapid burst of gunfire rang out.

Brian paid it no mind.

Magneto, who was behind Brian, raised his right hand just in time.

All the bullets fired at Brian froze in mid-air, hovering densely around him.

Then, under Magneto's control, all the bullets changed direction.

"Homelander, I'll handle this. You go find Yashida," Magneto said to Brian.

Brian raised his hand, and a small stone from the ground floated up before shooting forward like a beam of light, piercing through the heads of all the security guards at supersonic speed.

"Magneto, this is in your hands now," Brian nodded to Magneto and continued into the Yashida estate with Raven.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing here?" A Yashida family member spotted Brian and Raven as they moved through the estate, questioning them.

The answer he received was a high-speed stone aimed directly at him.

Psst.

The stone struck the Yashida family member precisely in the forehead.

This was the 42nd member of the Yashida family Brian had eliminated, yet he still hadn't located the core members of the Yashida family.

This finally made Brian lose his patience.

After crossing a garden, Brian encountered a group of Tokyo's high-ranking officials holding a gathering there.

When they saw Brian, they froze in shock.

Some of them started to speak, but Brian, who was already fed up, attacked without hesitation.

He raised his hand, and rocks on the ground were instantly lifted by his Psychokinesis.

The rocks quickly fragmented into countless sharp spikes, and under Brian's control, they flew like a storm, piercing through everyone there, leaving no survivors.

Brian and Raven continued forward.

The commotion had long alerted the core members of the Yashida family.

At that moment, in a secret, nuclear explosion-proof meeting room beneath the Yashida family's main building, Shiro Yashida—though only 60, already frail and aged—watched the surveillance footage handed over by his subordinates.

Seeing Brian use Psychokinesis to effortlessly kill members of the Yashida family sent a chill down Shiro Yashida's spine, his eyes wide with horror.

"It's a Mutant... the same kind as Kuzuri. They've come to kill me."

Shiro Yashida trembled uncontrollably, his face drained of color.

He had witnessed the sight of a Mutant surviving a nuclear explosion firsthand.

That scene haunted him like a nightmare, waking him in terror each night.

For years, Shiro Yashida had lived in fear of Logan and all Mutants.

He had then hunted some Mutants for experimentation to gain abilities like them and prologue his youth.

He dreaded the possibility that a Mutant might one day come to seek revenge.

He knew well the atrocities he had committed.

This fear gnawed at him daily.

So, when he saw Brian's face, distinctly Asian, Shiro Yashida was terrified, trembling like a cornered rat.

"Hurry, kill him! You must kill him!" Shiro Yashida shrieked in panic.

Watching his father fall apart in fear, Shingen Yashida frowned.

He glanced at Mayumi Yashida, standing nearby.

Unlike his father, Shingen did not fear Mutants.

He craved the power of a Mutant—he longed to obtain their abilities, overthrow Shiro Yashida, and assume complete control of the Yashida family.

Now, seeing his father in such a state, he realized that this might be his chance.

A chance to eliminate his father using someone else's hand.

Shingen shot a discreet look to his subordinate.

The subordinate immediately understood and quickly left the meeting hall.

He hurried to where Brian was and threw a flying dart.

On the dart, the exact location of the meeting hall where Shiro Yashida was hiding was clearly marked.

"Tsk tsk, these beasts really are a treacherous bunch," Brian sneered, a mocking smile crossing his face as he glanced at the note.

Without hesitation, he picked up Raven and flew directly toward the Yashida family's meeting building.

Hovering above it, Brian stretched out his hand, unleashing a surge of Psychokinesis.

The hidden meeting hall below was easily ripped from the ground by Brian's power.

Boom.

With a violent tremor, Brian dropped the entire hall onto an open area nearby.

Landing beside it, he looked at the heavy structure with disdain.

With a slight movement of his right hand, a section of the wall was effortlessly torn away by his Psychokinesis.

Inside, the core members of the Yashida family were fully exposed.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me…"

Shiro Yashida was completely overcome with terror, frantically begging Brian for his life.

However, in response to Shiro Yashida's pleas, Brian merely raised his right hand, expressionless.

Shiro Yashida's body was pulled into Brian's grip by his Psychokinesis.

"Please, don't kill me…" Shiro Yashida begged frantically.

Brian only gave him a cold smile before releasing a surge of Psychokinesis, applying pressure to Shiro Yashida's body.

Shiro Yashida screamed in agony as the pain intensified.

Meanwhile, members of the Yashida family quickly emerged from the assembly hall.

But Brian didn't even spare them a glance.

The fleeing Yashida members collided with the Psychokinesis barrier he'd formed, bouncing off as though they'd been struck by an invisible force, scattering them backward.

After torturing Shiro Yashida for half an hour, Brian finally finished him off.

"Friend, you've killed Shiro Yashida—can you let us go now?"

With his father gone, Shingen Yashida stepped forward, addressing Brian in a steady tone.

"Let you go?"

Brian felt as though he'd just heard the most ridiculous joke.

He had come to destroy this family, killed his father and now Shingen Yashida was asking him to let them go?

Brian glanced at Shingen Yashida, then shifted his gaze to a woman in the crowd with a classic Yamato Nadeshiko elegance (Japanese term that refers to an idealized Japanese woman).

The moment he saw her, he knew she was his target.

Mayumi Yashida.

A smile crossed Brian's face.

He reached out with his right hand, and with a swift use of Psychokinesis, Mayumi Yashida was drawn from the crowd, now firmly within his grasp.

"Mayumi Yashida, you don't want me to wipe out the entire Yashida family, do you?"

Brian's gaze lingered on Mayumi with a cold, calculating intensity.
