Chapter 260: Ch.259 Good Thing Turns Bad

Halloway found himself in a tight spot. After Su Ming had successfully drawn the enemy's attention, the Cloak of Levitation quickly dropped the doctor into the center of their own formation—and then promptly ditched him to go find Su Ming.

For someone like Halloway, a staunch materialist, his opinion of the Cloak plummeted to -100.

As he observed the three women in the center of the formation, locked in a fierce brawl, Halloway was at a loss for ideas. If it were an ordinary catfight, he might have been able to step in and break it up, as he was proficient in hand-to-hand combat.

But these three women weren't ordinary—each was packing powers that made the ground shake and bullets fly, making it impossible to get close.

Although Su Ming had provided him with chainmail armor, Halloway wasn't too keen on testing its defensive capabilities in this situation.

"What should I do?"

Halloway laid down on the ground, pondering his options.

Just as he was strategizing, he noticed the ground shifting slightly. It was Deadpool, who had been flattened into a human pancake, gradually regenerating his muscles thanks to his healing factor. He was wriggling across the ground like a worm.

"Wade, what happened to you?"

Halloway yanked Deadpool over as if pulling a smelly, red-black carpet.

Deadpool's mask displayed a look of exaggerated innocence, with bloody tears dripping from his eye sockets, making him appear pitiful.

Everything had spiraled out of control.

After parting ways with Su Ming back at the restaurant, Wade had grabbed a fistful of cash and set out to book a luxury hotel room for some "quality time" with Inez. But after checking into the room, he figured that since he was in 1942, he might as well make the most of it. So he called room service, thinking about ordering a couples' massage or a candlelight dinner.

However, when Wade opened the door for the room service, to his surprise, it was Domino standing there, making things immediately awkward.

Before he could trick Domino into going to the room next door, Inez—fresh from the shower—ran smack into Domino, and the tension in the room became palpable.

Wade made a snap decision: why not just go with the flow? Sure, his pelvis might get shattered, and he'd have a streak of bad luck for a while, but Deadpool could handle it!

Once they arrived in Paris, the tension eased a little. The danger of being behind enemy lines gave the women a reason to maintain a temporary truce.

The situation took a turn for the worse, however, thanks to an overly enthusiastic painter. You'd think that after the Germans occupied Paris, he'd have some self-respect and stop painting portraits for the invaders.

"Good sir, would you and your lady like a portrait together? The fountain here is quite a famous landmark."

A flamboyantly dressed artist had been peddling his services on the street. Spotting the large group, he honed in on Deadpool, who was covering his face.

Suddenly, Wade's left arm popped out of its socket as Inez yanked on him, trying to drag him over to take a portrait together.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Inez lost her grip, and Wade found himself falling into Domino's arms. She arched an eyebrow at him knowingly—luck was at work again.

Next thing Wade knew, his waist was twisted 180 degrees, and Vanessa was still smiling sweetly at him from behind.

"A portrait with the lady of the house? Not a bad idea—this is a famous spot, after all."

The three women quickly picked up on each other's subtle moves, and soon verbal barbs started flying. One insulted the other's age, while another mocked her for being shameless.

And that led to the brawl Su Ming was now witnessing. Wade's attempts at smooth-talking had failed miserably, and he was instantly flattened into a pancake by Inez.

Vanessa, torn between anger and concern, lashed out at Inez, while Domino, already frustrated, joined the fray as well.

The painter, seeing the impending chaos, had long since fled.

Weasel and Cable couldn't exactly get involved either. As Wade's closest friends, they'd known this day would come, just not at such an inconvenient time.

They had no choice but to join forces with the X-Men to form a defensive perimeter, preparing for the inevitable German assault.

Wade's entire skeleton had been pulverized, leaving him speechless, but Halloway could see the entire ordeal written in his eyes and sighed deeply.

"It seems the only solution is to let you die."

Halloway wondered what Su Ming would do in a situation like this. He tried to think like Su Ming, and surprisingly, a plan began to form.
