Tokyo, Yashida Family Residence
Although the Yashida family was the most powerful consortium in Tokyo, they were no match for the furious Level 5 Mutant, Brian.
Against his powers, the Yashida Family's defenses crumbled like paper, easily broken down as if they were nothing. Chaos swept through the grounds, and everyone scrambled for their lives.
Yet, as some tried to escape the Yashida Family estate, they seemed to hit an invisible wall—an unseen force crushed their heads as if they'd been squeezed by an iron grip, bursting them instantly.
Witnessing family members fall like crushed fruit, the remaining crowd froze, terror-stricken and paralyzed with fear.
In the center of the Yashida Family residence, near the assembly hall, Brian watched Mayumi Yashida with a look of amusement.
She fit the classic, refined beauty that matched traditional aesthetics, catching Brian's attention immediately.
He pinched Mayumi's neck with his right hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Mayumi Yashida, you know what you need to do."
Brian released his grip on Mayumi Yashida nonchalantly.
"Mr. Mutant, please allow me to serve you," Mayumi responded, glancing back at her husband. After Shingen Yashida gave an approving nod, she obediently turned to Brian.
In the time that followed, Brian and Mayumi Yashida carried out an intense exchange, enacting what seemed like a pact between husband and wife under duress.
Two hours later, the scene came to an end.
At that moment, Mayumi suddenly gripped Brian's shoulders with both hands. Brian initially felt unaffected but soon noticed his vitality beginning to drain away rapidly.
His adaptive evolution kicked in instinctively.
In an instant, his body underwent a new adaptation: his heart developed an additional chamber, a specialized ventricle that began to absorb and contain Brian's vital energy.
Brian named this evolved chamber the "Life House," a storage space within his heart, now containing and preserving all his vitality.
As long as his heart wasn't destroyed, his vitality would be preserved.
Once Brian evolved the Life Chamber, his adaptive evolution had fully integrated this ability into his genes.
"How is this possible? Why isn't my ability working on you?" Mayumi Yashida looked at Brian in shock.
Her ability was life transfer.
She could sense who was healthy and who needed treatment, absorbing the vitality of healthy individuals and transferring it to those in need to heal injuries or illnesses. However, to activate this ability, she had to touch the skin of the healthy person with both hands to draw out their life force.
Since her ability awakened, she had never failed.
But now, she couldn't extract even a trace of life from Brian.
It was as if something had locked his vitality.
No matter how hard Mayumi tried, she couldn't draw out any of Brian's life force.
"Useless."
Seeing Mayumi's ability fail, Shingen Yashida's face turned dark.
Mayumi's life transfer ability had been a secret weapon.
Even Shiro Yashida hadn't sensed it, allowing Mayumi to drain his vitality and hasten his aging. It was also through her ability that Shingen had betrayed Shiro's location, hoping to kill two birds with one stone.
Then, Shingen Yashida had tried to use Mayumi Yashida's life transfer ability to kill Brian.
But he hadn't expected that Mayumi's power would be ineffective against Brian.
Now Shingen Yashida had truly lost everything—both his plan and his ally.
Under Brian's cold gaze, Shingen Yashida knelt down, pleading, "I am willing to give you all the wealth of the Yashida family. I only ask that you spare my life."
Brian remained unmoved by Shingen Yashida's desperate pleas.
He raised his right hand, and his Psychokinesis surged forward, striking Shingen Yashida with brutal force.
Shingen's skin was torn apart instantly, turning him into a bloodied figure in a matter of seconds.
But Brian wasn't done.
He intensified his Psychokinesis, and Shingen Yashida's screams echoed as his muscles and bones were ripped apart, inch by inch.
Before everyone's horrified eyes, Shingen Yashida died a brutal death.
"Please, don't kill us," the remaining members of the Yashida family began to beg for mercy frantically, seeing the fate of their only heir.
Facing the group's pleas for mercy, Brian simply waved his hand, releasing a Psychokinesis Shockwave.
The entire group was enveloped by the shockwave, their bodies reduced to powder in moments.
Now, only Mayumi Yashida remained in the assembly hall.
"Raven, go and inform Magneto," Brian said, glancing at Raven, who had been waiting silently behind him. A slight smile played on his lips as he issued the instruction.
"Alright, Brian," Raven nodded.
She now saw Brian as her sole leader, unwavering in her obedience to his commands. To Raven, Brian's eradication of the Yashida family was entirely justified. At this moment, she was fully aligned with his intentions, both inside and out.
After Raven left, Brian turned his attention back to Mayumi Yashida, who was struggling desperately in his grasp.
He slowly lifted a finger.
After venting his lust on Mayumi, it was now time to get down to his objective.
With a small exertion of force, an invisible blade sliced across Mayumi Yashida's forehead, and blood trickled down.
Her scream pierced the air.
In Brian's cold gaze, Mayumi Yashida's brain was exposed.
Even after her brain was opened, Mayumi Yashida did not die immediately.
The life force Mayumi Yashida had absorbed began to take effect, gradually repairing the wound on her forehead.
However, as soon as the wound started to heal, Brian raised his hand and swiped across it, causing it to tear open again.
Amid Mayumi Yashida's agonized screams, Brian began to search for her ability circuit.
"Found it."
A minute later, Brian located the ability circuit within Mayumi Yashida's brain.
In that moment, he gained Mayumi Yashida's ability: Life Transfer.
And it was instantly maximized.
Now, Brian could absorb anyone's life force through skin contact and transfer it to others, allowing him to rapidly heal their injuries.
As long as the brain and heart remained intact, he could restore them to their original condition in seconds.
However, the Life Transfer ability could only transfer life force and could not store it for long durations.
But Brian had just evolved the Life Chamber ability.
This allowed him to store the absorbed life force within the Life Chamber, sealing it securely for future use.
After obtaining Mayumi Yashida's ability, Brian unleashed a Psychokinesis Shockwave, reducing Mayumi Yashida to powder.
"Well, this trip was a waste after all," Magneto sighed helplessly from behind him.
"Let's go. I believe Professor X will have some good news for us," Brian replied with a shrug. He walked over to Magneto's side, speaking calmly.
Magneto glanced at the remains of the Yashida family, massacred by Brian, and then followed him, leaving behind the ruins of the once-powerful Yashida estate.
With the destruction of the Yashida family, the plot involving Wolverine in Tokyo would no longer unfold.
'In that case, Wolverine Logan owes me a life,' Brian mused as he strolled through the streets of Tokyo.
He grabbed Raven and Magneto, unfurled the four wings behind him, and soared into the sky.
