Chapter 167

When was the last time he met with Peggy Carter ...

Mike recalled.

It was before he'd moved to New York, by the way, about two months ago, almost three months ago.

He remembered Peggy Carter staring at him, angry as if she was going to die at any moment.

He hadn't gotten a call from the other side since that time.

She lost so badly.

Must be out of money.

Hope you don't lose your retirement salary.

"Mike? Come back quick, we're short on people!"

Peggy Carter couldn't resist urging.

"No, I've got things to do!"

Mike refused.

Peggy Carter had played her cards badly.

"You're not scared, are you?"

"Scared?"

Mike raised an eyebrow and said, "Can I be scared with your shitty poker skills?"

"My poker skills!?"

Peggy Carter stretched out her voice, causing Maria, who was standing by, to cover her ears.

"No way, no way!"

Mike refused, "I've got things to do in the meantime, so I'll come back and play cards with you guys when I'm free."

With that, Mike didn't give the other party a chance to speak and simply hung up the phone.

Really ...

If he had known that the other party would be addicted, he would not have taught them to play mahjong on a whim when Peggy Carter retired and brought Maria to his house to dine.

But it wasn't an excuse for him to say something was up.

He was really up to something.

For the past few days, he had been keeping an eye on Fox.

After Christmas, about half a month ago, Fox had approached Wesley, the son of the Cross.

This meant that The Fraternity pressured by the pressure brought by the Cross, had started a plan.

Cross was strong, that much Sloane understood.

That was why he had asked Fox to find Wesley, who also had the talent of an assassin, to train him as an assassin, and then let let Wesley deal with the Cross.

Because it was the only person the Cross would not lay a hand on.

In the meantime, Wesley had started training and was learning the art of killing fast with his talent as an assassin.

Wesley was learning fast, and at this rate it shouldn't take long for Sloan to let Wesley take on the Cross, which was why Mike had spent some time focusing on the men during this time.

After all, he had already decided to save the Fox, and with the Cross being considered his apprentice, he had just about nothing to do ...

After a customary sweep of the Fraternity textile factory and seeing Wesley still training, he turned off his super vision.

Wesley and Charles ...

In the last world, it seemed like they were played by the same actor, but in this world, the two were just a trifle alike.

From his temperament to his appearance, Charles crushed Wesley.

Thinking about Wesley being cuckolded, Mike couldn't help but shake his head.

This lad, what a tragedy.

...

Time went by and Gwen got used to the new school.

Mike's life became regular and uneventful.

Finally, after twenty days or so, Mike looked at what was about to happen and lifted some spirits.

At this time, the train station.

Fox and Wesley were led to the train station by Cross's partner, following a clue that Cross had deliberately left behind.

Cross stood in the doorway of the last carriage of the train, waiting for his partner to give him the news.

Wesley ...

Cross's eyes were sombre.

Damn it, to use his son.

From the moment that Fox of the Fraternity had approached his son, he had tried to reach out to Wesley to clarify the situation, but had been so watched over by the Fraternity that he hadn't had a chance.

After several encounters, he had to find a way to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

So, using what was left of his bullets, he lured Wesley to his partner and had his partner follow their plan to lure Wesley to the station.

The full bearded, unkempt cross looked like a dishevelled, middle-aged man, but with a pair of stern eyes.

As the train moved slowly, he saw two figures running wildly past.

Fox and his son.

The moment he saw his son, his eyes froze and a strong killing intent enveloped Wesley.

Wesley was too quick on his feet to call out to the already distant Firefox, and made a great rush for the train that was beginning to accelerate, seeing a flash of the cross as the carriage door was about to be closed by the conductor.

Pulling the conductor off with one hand, Wesley rushed into the train and began to look for the cross.

And Fox, having realised Wesley was missing, rushed out of the station, got into a car and headed after the train.

The train was getting faster and faster, but Wesley was getting more and more impatient.

Although he had the talent of an assassin and was growing fast, his experience was simply too little.

In the end, he was only a rookie who had just trained for a month or so.

Soon he lost sight of the cross and even caused a commotion and screams from the passengers when he misidentified someone and pulled out his gun.

He was a little flustered and screaming sorry under his breath, not at all like an assassin.

One pair of eyes looked at Wesley's back with some heartache.

The boy, who wouldn't have had to face a life like this, who wouldn't have to face blood and bullets.

Taking a soft breath, Cross walked up behind Wesley, grabbing Wesley's hand holding the gun as he turned when he sensed something was wrong, and the two wrestled in the carriage to the screams of the passengers.

"Wesley!"

A low voice rang out as cross held Wesley down.

Wesley struggled frantically, with only the thought of killing the other man on his mind.

"I ..."

Just as he uttered one word, Cross's eyes narrowed and he pinned Wesley to the ground.

"Bang!"

A bullet shot through the glass and flew past where Cross had just been.

It was the fox.

Cross rose from the ground, intending to lure Wesley to the other compartments, but just as he stood up, he saw a face with a smile on it and his face instantly changed.

How could it be!

How could it be him!

How could he be here? Could he have been sent by the Fraternity ?

He was in a cold sweat and pointed his gun at the other man.

But in the next instant, he stood still like a puppet.

To be precise, it was the entire carriage that stopped moving.

On the other side, Wesley, who had been knocked out of his head, saw the gun that had fallen beside him and reached out to grab it.

"Ta-da!"

A foot stepped on the gun instead.

He froze and looked up.

He saw an unfamiliar face and Cross who was standing like a puppet.

Murderous intent sprang to life, and without thinking hard, he drew his gun with force.

But he didn't expect the foot to lift lightly.

"Dang!"

Wesley fell face-first.

----

Watching this scene, Mike couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth, then with a thought, the power of his mind surged out and fixed Wesley in place.

In fact, he got on the train as Wesley got on, except he used Card Professor X and then used his mind power to make everyone on the train ignore him.

Mike turned his head to look out of the train and waved at the Fox, who was driving alongside the train, and after using his mind control to make her stop and wait for them where she was, he took control of Wesley and the cross and headed for the carriage door.
