Starting as a Class Five Mutant-Chapter 503

"It's that mutant—the one who appeared on TV recently!"

Jorge, the agent assigned to track Gabriela, spoke with shock.

On the other end of the phone, Donald Pierce paused for a moment before immediately realizing who he was talking about. His brows furrowed.

"Damn it, why is that mutant here?" Donald cursed under his breath, clinging to the hope that this wasn't about Gabriela.

If it was, then things would get complicated. He might not be able to eliminate Gabriela or retrieve Laura.

Though this mutant was also on Dr. Rice's radar, he wasn't someone they could handle.

If dealing with Logan was one thing, this white-clad mutant was something else entirely—someone who could level entire streets in an instant. Compared to him, Logan was nothing.

Suddenly, a thought struck Donald—his eyes lit up as he considered its feasibility.

A sneak attack... maybe that's the answer?

As powerful as this mutant was, he was still human—still made of flesh and blood.

And as long as he was human, he needed to eat, drink, sleep... and he could get tired.

If they waited until he was exhausted or sleeping, then took a shot at his head, they might be able to kill him in one strike.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn't do anything if he was dead.

With that in mind, Donald immediately ordered, "Take the shot, Jorge! Aim for his head while he's not paying attention!"

But before his cold command could even settle, a terrified voice came from the other end.

"He already noticed me!"

"What?"

Donald was stunned.

On the rooftop, Jorge's hands trembled as he gripped his binoculars.

Through the lens, he saw the white-clad figure turn and look straight in his direction—as if he could see through all barriers and lock eyes with him.

His survival instincts kicked in immediately.

Jorge turned on his heel, ready to flee.

But before he could take more than a few steps, Syd made a subtle motion with his right hand.

In an instant, a deep crimson light engulfed Jorge.

A single, piercing scream echoed through the air.

Then silence.

Jorge was gone—swallowed by chaotic magic.

On the phone, Donald heard the abrupt end of the call. His expression darkened.

He didn't need to ask what had happened.

Gritting his teeth, Donald muttered, "Damn mutant... One day, you'll pay for this!"

He was already calculating—figuring out how many mercenaries he needed to hire for an assassination attempt.

There were always people willing to risk their lives for money. And if there was even a sliver of a chance at success, some would take the gamble.

Back at the scene.

After effortlessly dealing with the spy, Syd turned his gaze back to the house.

By now, Logan had already stepped outside. He had clearly sensed something.

Logan and Gabriela stood there, staring in shock at the floating white-clad figure.

Of course, they recognized him.

"Why is he here?"

Logan had already planned to look for him, but now this new mutant had come straight to him instead?

What was going on?

Just as Logan was about to speak, Syd hesitated.

After thinking it over, he decided to come back later and meet Logan another time.

But then, he suddenly froze, his gaze shifting to the distance.

There, in the far-off horizon, several black dots were approaching rapidly.

Looking closer—fighter jets.

At the same time, about a kilometer away, a convoy of armored vehicles was advancing.

Through the distance, he could see them filled with fully armed soldiers.

Syd instantly understood the situation.

Logan and Gabriela, noticing his reaction, instinctively followed his gaze.

And when they saw it, their faces went pale.

They were in trouble.

At least thirty fighter jets—black, sleek, and deadly.

Logan cursed under his breath. "Son of a—"

This was insane. All this firepower, just for one mutant?

His eyes flickered toward the floating child in white.

It was obvious who these jets were after.

Logan fell silent.

Could this kid really hold his own against this level of firepower?

This wasn't like before—this was serious.

Meanwhile, various news agencies had already gotten wind of the event.

Journalists scrambled to deploy drones and cameras, capturing the unfolding scene from a safe distance.

A new mutant facing off against the government—this was the kind of explosive footage they couldn't afford to miss.

It would be the biggest news of the year.

And just as expected, the moment the broadcast began, countless people tuned in.

Across the world, people held their phones, sat in front of their TVs, or gathered around computers—eyes locked on the unfolding event.

The sight of fighter jets and armored convoys filled their screens.

The entire world was watching.

Even radio stations had shifted their discussions.

"Bert, how long do you think this mutant can last?" Clyde, one of the radio hosts, asked.

Bert responded casually, "He'll hold out for a while. This mutant is powerful—the military is bound to suffer some losses. But in the end, we all know how this ends."

"I said it before, and I'll say it again—against modern firepower, it's only a matter of time before he's caught."

"This era no longer belongs to mutants. It belongs to us—to humanity!"

Listeners across the country debated, many agreeing with the hosts' statements.

Meanwhile, near the Mexican border.

Professor X and Caliban watched the live broadcast.

Their expressions changed instantly.

Professor X's face paled with worry.

On the screen, he not only saw the mutant child—he also caught glimpses of Logan.

Not long ago, he had told Logan to take the child and hide.

Now, they were already surrounded.

Despair filled Professor X's heart.

He couldn't imagine what would happen next—to Logan, or to the child.

Inside a high-tech lab.

Dr. Rice's eyes burned with excitement as he stared at the broadcast.

"It won't be long now," he murmured.

The government was finally taking this seriously.

They were ready to unleash their full military might to eliminate this white-clad mutant.
