Setting: The initial scene takes place in an office building where Mr. X is meeting with someone named Puja. ❌
The Attack: Mr. X is attempting to gather information on Cross's ammunition source when snipers disguised as construction workers on the nearby Metropolitan Building shoot and kill Puja. 🔫
Mr. X's Response: Mr. X, a skilled assassin, utilizes his special ability "Assassin Time" (or "Bullet-Time" as it's known in the film's lore) to dramatically leap across to the Metropolitan Building, engaging and eliminating the attackers mid-air. This ability allows assassins in the film to raise their heart rate above 400 bpm, providing them with superhuman reaction speed. 👟💨
Cross's Intervention: After dispatching the snipers, Mr. X answers a ringing phone that turns out to be Cross. 📞
The Killing Shot: Cross mocks Mr. X, stating the snipers were just "decoys," and then shoots Mr. X through the head with his unique "Fantasy Rifle". 🥷🏻
The Deception: Later, it is revealed that Mr. X is Wesley Gibson's true father, and Sloan orchestrated the events to make Wesley believe Cross was his father and thus have Wesley kill his actual father. 🎅🏻
