"The device is fine, it will arrive tomorrow morning. According to your diagnosis, how long will it take to recover?"
Hearing Stephen's diagnostic report, George wasn't too disappointed.
The professor's inability to continue using his abilities was somewhat regrettable for him, but it wasn't all that bad.
If the professor could freely use his abilities, he would be a level 4 mutant who can kill most Earthlings with brainwave amplifiers, which would definitely guarantee their safety. However, it would also come with limitations.
Professor X, as a man, is indeed a good one for all humans and mutants on Earth. He has stopped the Cuban missile crisis, established the mutant school, and found a path forward for those confused young mutants.
He hasn't imposed any restrictions on the children at those schools, preventing them from becoming killing machines as they grow up.
However, George sees him as too idealistic, overly naive in believing that people are naturally good and always wanting to solve the conflict between mutants and humans with peaceful means.
Very stubborn in some aspects.
There will be disagreements in the future when facing certain things, and it's unclear who will ultimately be the one who decides, whether it's him or Professor X.
Actually, his body now is a mutant experiment, but there is no distinction between mutants and humans in his mind. He only sees the difference between enemies and himself.
He gathers those he considers allies around him, and eliminates those he views as enemies, it's that simple.
There's no need to differentiate, and he even thinks Professor X shouldn't have invented the term "mutant." What's the difference between a mutant and a regular human? They just have superpowers.
There are quite a few humans with superpowers in this world, and they never say they're not human.
Now that the professor has been cured and his mind is back to normal, and he can no longer use his abilities, it's just as well that he can be a teacher to those young mutants and assist them in developing their powers.
For some unimportant things in the future, they can be left to the grown-up children, and he can concentrate on magic.
"If your equipment is ready, Mr. Logan should be able to complete the detoxification in about three days, while Mr. Charles will take a bit longer, approximately a month."
Stephen did a rough calculation and replied.
George nodded.
"Good, once you have treated the professor, I will release you as per our agreement."
Hearing George's assurance, Stephen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He didn't trust George, but he had a bit of confidence in Professor X's character, thanks to years of comic book exposure.
If Professor X really is as portrayed in the comics, leading the X-Men to save humanity multiple times, he shouldn't hurt them.
Three days later, in the treatment room, Wolverine sat up from the treatment chamber and somersaulted down with agility.
At this moment, Wolverine is no longer the old wolf with white hair and scars, but has once again returned to his former peak form with all his muscles.
In his prime, Wolverine possessed nearly two hundred years of martial arts skills, a nearly indestructible body, and powerful regenerative abilities. Unless he encountered something specifically designed to counter him, he was almost impossible to defeat.
Even the deadliest weapons of human kind, nuclear bombs, cannot kill him, making him the ultimate enemy of all firearms.
The X-24 cloned by Dr. Leah is not even in the same league as the peak Wolverine.
The cloned X-24 not only lacks the regenerative abilities of Wolverine, but also has an unstable mind. As for martial arts skills, it's all about fighting by instinct.
Even if the little wolf girl grows up, she will be able to defeat X-24.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this way!"
Wolverine smoothly extended his Adamantium claws, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.
His body's hormonal influence shaped his form, and before his aging state, he felt as if he had entered old age mentally as well. Now that he had recovered, he felt both physically and mentally young again.
It feels like, it feels like when I was twenty, even facing a nearly obsolete computer, I could play pixelated games all night long.
But at forty, even with a top-of-the-line computer and all kinds of AAA games, I would lose interest after just an hour.
It's also like at twenty, facing my wife, I could do it seven times in a row without any problem, but at forty, I would try to avoid her as much as possible. Even once, I feel somewhat powerless.
"Logan, I need you to secretly watch someone for me."
Seeing Wolverine fully recover to his peak form, George also informed him of the things he had done during this time and his plans to secretly monitor Tony.
Wolverine differs from Professor X; he is not as idealistic, and he never hesitates to kill when necessary. In some ways, he actually shares the same views as George.
"If there's no special danger, don't intervene. Notify me immediately if anything happens."
"I know, I won't let our wallet take any damage."
Wolverine lights a cigar, clearly pleased to accept this task.
He won't let this hard-earned family be destroyed again, so as long as it doesn't violate his principles, he's willing to do anything for the sake of the family.
"Mr. Logan, do you think it's appropriate for you to smoke here? Should I get you another ashtray?"
Stephen, who was adjusting the equipment, saw Wolverine smoking a cigar in the treatment room, and immediately started scolding him without any politeness.
He's not a patient man. He was forcibly brought here, and he's already feeling irritated. Although he dared not confront George for his girlfriend's safety, he certainly doesn't have a good attitude towards others.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Stephen."
Wolverine immediately extinguished the burning cigar in his palm.
He's quite tolerant of the doctor who healed his body, and besides, smoking a cigar here is not appropriate, especially since Professor X is still being treated in another device.
Three weeks later, the toxins in Professor X's body were completely cleared, and after a high-difficulty neurosurgery, his epilepsy symptoms were significantly alleviated. He would only need to take medication regularly to live a normal life like any other elderly person.
It has to be said that Stephen's medical skills are indeed impressive.
George also kept his promise and returned Stephen and the other doctors to the city with a rich reward.
"You can trust us; we won't tell anyone about what happened this month."
On the rooftop of a building, after George had dropped Stephen and the doctors off, they all swore an oath together.
During this time, most of them held a sympathetic attitude towards Professor and those mutant children and had received a generous reward, so they really intended to keep this matter to themselves.
However, George shook his head:
"I'm sorry, even though I really want to believe you, but for the safety of the children, I still need to take precautions."
With a wave of his hands, he began rapidly casting spells on Stephen and the other doctors.
"All memories gone!"
Promises and oaths are not something most people can trust.
He believes that under normal circumstances, these doctors might really keep their promise, but if someone puts a gun to their neck or the neck of their family members, could they still keep it a secret?
Therefore, the most reliable way is to kill all of them, but he is not a person who has no bottom line, so the forgetting curse is the best choice.
