Chapter 281 "The Extremis"
Tennessee, in the town of Rose Hill. Tony is talking to an old woman at a bar.
After being attacked, he was taken by his suit to the location where he originally planned to come to investigate the explosion, the small town of Rose Hill, Tennessee.
But when he woke up, the suit's power had completely run out. He had to drag it with difficulty to a bungalow nearest to his landing spot. The adults of the house were not there, only a child named Harley Keener, who was his fan.
With his help of him, he barely managed to give the broken suit a certain degree of repair and charge.
Unfortunately, the voltage was too low, and it took a long time to charge up the suit completely. He had to go to town with his repulsor to investigate the suspicious bombing and see if he could find clues related to the terrorist attack carried out by the Ten Rings.
Now, the person he was talking to at the bar was none other than the mother of the murderer of the town bombing not long ago.
However, just when Tony convinced the old woman to come up with relevant information about his son, a woman whose skin seemed to be filled with hot lava inside attacked him.
Several police officers who wanted to stop her chased her.
"Tony Stark, I didn't expect you to be alive. In that case, let me give you a ride!"
The woman casually twisted a rifle that was pointed toward her. She walked over with a sizzling breath and a fierce smile on her face toward Tony.
Tony doesn't have his suit right now. He is as vulnerable as normal people. Although he has been practicing martial arts, but he obviously can't beat the person in front of him.
His eyes turned sharply, and he began to think about the solution quickly. He hadn't thought about the solution. Another bald man had surrounded him from another direction.
"I gotta find a place to hide!"
Tony was about to jump into the back of that store when suddenly an owl descended from the sky, landed on his shoulder, and threw a letter held in his mouth. This sudden landing of the owl and the letter immediately let Tony and the two attackers froze for a moment.
"From: The Wizard, To: Tony Stark."
Looking at the words on the envelope, Tony looked up at a man and a woman in front of him, then shrugged and said, "I advise you to run. My friend may be coming over in a moment. She has never been very good-tempered with bad guys."
The two glanced at each other. Both revealed a disdainful smile and continued to walk toward Tony.
A loud sound can be heard, and the two of them are sent directly lying on the ground.
"It's been a long time, Tony!"
Along with a blue magic light, a familiar voice sounded. He saw Tony and two attackers on the back. Tony saw the huge dragon and saw Jerry, Pepper, and Hansen on the back.
"I told you to run, but you didn't believe me."
Tony loosened the handcuffs, looked at the two who were stepped on by the dragon, and went up to greet Jerry and hug Pepper.
The dragon stepped on the two. Although they were lightly injured because of the attack by the dragon, they still struggled hard to crawl out from under Norbert's claws.
Unfortunately, as a dragon, no matter the strength or weight, they are far more powerful than them. Even if the two struggled so hard, they couldn't break free from the powerful dragon claws.
The two then began to unleash the hot temperature in their bodies. Half of their bodies instantly turned red, as if they wanted to rely on the heat that could melt steel to make the fire dragon loosen its claws.
However, this time they once again miscalculated.
The dragon egg is hatched in the flame, and the dragon itself can also spit flame. It can be said that they were immune to flames and hot temperatures. They can even bathe in lava, so how can this heat emitted from the two bodies make any impact on the dragon?
"What are these two guys?" Jerry came in front of them, watching two people there trying to exert heat.
Tony let go of Pepper and shook his head, "I'm not sure, but they should be related to that Ten Rings."
"They are called an Extremis. A super soldier experimented with the biological genetic sequence I developed." At this point, Hansen at the back explained.
"A genetic sequence? What the hell is going on?" Tony looked at Hansen.
Hansen sat on the back of the dragon and explained the situation. Eleven years ago, when Hansen was a young female scientist in her twenties, she invented a technology that allows plants to heal themselves.
Her dream was to apply this technology to plants and the human body so that those with disabilities could regain their lives. So, he found the most wealthy and most famous genius scientist like Tony for cooperation.
However, Tony was still young and arrogant. He did not pay attention to Hansen's research and only focused on hitting her. After that, Aldrich Killian found her, convinced her to cooperate, and finally invented the Extremis.
After the injection, the missing part of the body will grow back. The recovery ability is greatly enhanced. The power is greatly enhanced, but it allows the body to exert temperature extremely high and can even melt steel with only one hand.
The Extremis used on the human body and the plant has a different result, which is very unstable. Many of the disabled veterans they recruited exploded and died in the experiment.
Hansen had been working to improve the Extremis for the benefit of humanity but later discovered that Killian was the Extremis to serve the terrorist group and the boss, The Mandarin.
This is why she escaped and wanted to tell Tony about it and seek help.
Chapter 282 "Recharge"
"It is fascinating that the scientists in this world always seem to be able to come up with something." After listening to Hansen's explanation, Jerry couldn't help but let out an awe once again in his heart.
He found that the scientists in this world are very powerful, especially good at developing some strange things. Many of the initial intentions are good, but the results are rather unexpected.
Dr. Banner researched gamma rays, and he turned into the Hulk. Dr. Sterns wanted to create the Hulk serum, to make a universal medicine that can cure cancer, but accidentally made The Abomination.
Now Hansen is trying to research the technology that can heal disability. Yet what comes out is the Extremis that can explode at any time.
However, despite all this happened, Hansen has some expertise in biology research. He is also studying biology, preparing to purify his wizard bloodline and strengthen his magic power in the future.
"So that's what happened. It seems that the explosion that happened in this town is also an experimented soldier."
Tony also found some clues when he came here to investigate, which led him to find the mother of the retired soldier who said he had caused the bombing.
"Watch out. They are going to explode!"
At this time, Hansen, who had just finished recounting the story, saw the two Extremis at the feet of the fire dragon. Their bodies glowed red as if they were emerging in flames, and her face suddenly changed.
She knew too well about the Extremis. The two were on the verge of exploding because they were operating their abilities to the limit at full power.
Jerry turned his head to look at the two who were about to explode, and without the slightest panic, he directly unleashed his Shadow Magic. It wrapped quickly around their two bodies while still being restrained by Norbert's claws.
And at this time, Norbert jumped aside.
Two balloon explosion-like sounds came from the shadow, which expanded slightly in size and then returned to its original form.
"I want to ask them the place where The Mandarin hide. Now it seems that we can only rely on some other information." Tony saw the two explode themselves to death and sighed with regret.
Hearing Tony's sigh, Pepper and Hansen are turning their heads to look at Jerry.
Jerry also smiled, "Tony, how do you think I found you?"
Tony smiled, looked at the owl that landed on Jerry's shoulder, and immediately understood what he meant.
"Well, it looks like I'll just have to go get my suit first."
After saying that, he waved to the crowd that gradually gathered around him on the side of the road, "Harley, I'm going to take a friend to your home. I wonder if you're fine with it?"
He heard Tony's words and nodded quickly. Seeing the crowd is coming, Jerry cast the Muggle Repelling Charm.
They gathered because of Norbert. Even police and reporters are rushing to the scene. Jerry put away Norbert and cast the Muggle Repelling Spell so that the crowd was not going to pay attention much to them.
When he cast a spell on him and the others, they were immediately ignored by all the people around them. The town residents can still see them but won't pay any attention to them.
Therefore, all of them were confused because they could not figure out why they came here.
After a while, they dispersed and went about their own business.
However, this is different from the Disillusionment Charm. Suppose Jerry cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself and others. Then the people would suddenly see Jerry and others disappear all of a sudden and begin to look around for them.
"Wait, is this who I think this is?"
Looking at the young boy, who seemed to have a good relationship with Tony in front of him, this idea suddenly sprang up in Jerry's mind. He thought about Harry, not "Harry Potter" world of Harry, but Spider-Man's best friend, Harry.
Because in this world there's also Spider-Man or Peter Parker, and his age is estimated to be eight or nine years old, so he suddenly thought of this. But it'll be too much of a stretch to make that assumption.
Tony pointed to his suit on the sofa.
"This is a small matter, Reparo!" Jerry instantly restored it to its latest state.
Looking at his own suit fully restored, Tony's face immediately revealed a smile. Without the suit, he'll have some difficulty to have the ability to fight back against the enemy later.
"Jarvis, how long until full charge?"
"According to the current situation, it will take thirteen hours, twenty minutes, and fifty-two seconds if the power is not disconnected." Jarvis's mechanical voice came from the suit.
"It seems that we need to wait until tomorrow before we can leave."
At this point, Tony could not help but think of Thor. If there is Thor here, in addition to the Wizard's Mending Charm, he no longer has to worry about the suit being damaged and low on power.
"No worries, I recently learned some lightning magic."
Jerry waved his hand, then softly recited a spell. A flash of lightning in front of Jerry formed and quickly blasted at the suit on the sofa.
"Power reached 100 percent. Charging is complete." Jarvis' mechanical voice sounded.
"Well, my lightning is not better than Thor's. But I guess that'll do." Jerry remembered that the lightning summoned by Thor could make Tony's suit charge up to 400%.
However, he held back in casting the lightning magic. If he uses full power to directly lead the lightning in the sky to blast the suit, the power is going to be mostly similar to what Thor had created.
Chapter 283 "More Soldiers"
"Oh, Jay, you are really amazing." Tony saw the instantly fully charged suit and almost could not help but go forward to give Jerry a big hug. But knowing that there's Pepper next to him, he immediately gave up this idea.
Tony looked at his suit and moved his hand. The suit's whole body swayed for a moment, but not much change occurred.
"Give me a moment."
Tony saw this and laughed awkwardly, then shouted again at the suit, "Come!"
This time, the suit did not malfunction but instantly disintegrated, divided into ten parts, flew to Tony, one by one quickly put on his body.
"That's cool!" Jerry showed a thumbs-up to Tony.
He feels that Tony has a unique ability that no ordinary people have. Using his own intelligence alone to transform his suit into a more powerful and advanced creation is indeed worthy of recognition.
According to Tony, because of the last alien invasion. He felt that he needed more upgrades. This time he is a full set of more than thirty different types of iron suits. The Mark 42 suit is the recent creation with this kind of upgrades and features.
As long as there is network coverage, he can let it fly through the remote control automatically and assemble it on his body parts by parts.
Getting Jerry's affirmation, Tony opened the mask, revealing a smug smile, and then said, "Okay, let's go then."
In Miami, Florida.
They arrived in a large villa. Jerry put away Norbert, which carried him and Tony. The owl landed on the second floor of the villa balcony. Due to the limited speed of the owl, even though Tony's speed is amazing, the dragon is still faster than his suit, which is why Tony spent the whole night riding the dragon with him.
As for Pepper and Hansen, they stayed at Harley's house for their own safety.
"It seems that the terrorist leader named The Mandarin is in this room." In order to prevent the owl from being attacked, Jerry let it land on his shoulder first.
"You don't need to do anything here, Jay. I'll handle this because The Ten Rings and I have some personal problems to take care of." Tony raised his hand and knocked two bodyguards with his repulsor.
Jerry looked at Tony. He wanted to do some action too. Because gun-wielding terrorists and seemingly powerful Extremis soldiers are nothing, he came to participate to earn some red stars.
However, Jerry just walked into the second-floor living room along the big luxurious balcony and saw Tony being punched backward by an Extremis soldier,
"Uh, Tony, are you sure you don't need my help?"
"No, I just got careless."
Tony activated all the jets on his suit, controlling the suit at a great speed towards that soldier. He choked the opponent, crashed through three walls, and wrestled with him.
"This man is relentless." Jerry shook his head, casually took out his suitcase, released his twelve robot soldiers, and commanded.
"Surround this villa, and don't let anyone leave."
"Yes, Master!"
The twelve robot soldiers opened their steel wings, opened their stealth mode, flew out from the balcony one after another, and then surrounded the whole villa in twelve directions. After ordering the twelve robot soldiers to surround the villa, Jerry let go of the owl and followed it with his steps toward the villa.
When he was about to step into the main bedroom, his keen five senses suddenly sensed something and immediately chanted, "Shield!"
In an instant, a semi-circular transparent shield instantly enveloped his entire body. Immediately after, a red fist penetrated the wooden door of the main bedroom and smashed hard on the transparent shield that Jerry had cast.
It turned out that there was not one Extremis soldier in the villa, but two.
The male soldier guarding the outside got tangled up with Tony. In contrast, the female soldier guarding the master bedroom was smart enough to hide behind the door, intending to give a sneak attack on Jerry, who was about to enter.
The female soldier found her fist was blocked, and the wooden door began to shatter. She continued to punch Jerry's shield with multiple punches.
Jerry stood still, looking at the female soldier. After a series of fierce punches, he said, "I am a person who generally does not hit women. But if you continue to act like this, I will have to take certain measures."
His Protego Charm has been improved with the new magic system he learned, so its defense is bigger than before. Even Hulk wouldn't do much about it.
"Fucking hell!" the female soldier is obviously not an ordinary person. She is a retired soldier. Her character is quite fierce. She walked to the side to get a steel pipe, intending to use the pipe as a hammer to destroy Jerry's shield.
Killian's brain is quite smart. He can make disabled people stronger than ordinary people by injecting Extremis serum.
While normal people would die from the serum, people who can become so powerful after injecting the serum are these retired soldiers who have trained in the military for years and have war experience.
"You don't know when to give up, huh."
Jerry saw this and once again recited an incantation, "Wind!"
The female soldier just picked up a steel pipe and jumped toward Jerry, a green whirlwind suddenly rose from beneath her feet, carried her in mid-air, and kept spinning her up.
She can not resist the powerful force of the whirlwind. She spun in mid-air, and there was no place for her to force. She had to clutch the steel pipe in her hand, trying to see if she could use the pipe to break through the whirlwind.
It's comical to see this happening in the bedroom. A female soldier, grasping a steel pipe, under the action of the whirlwind and kept spinning in circles.
At first glance, it was as if she was doing a pole dance. Without caring about the female soldier, Jerry continued to walk forward and go past her.
Chapter 284 "The Real Mastermind"
At this time, inside the master bedroom, there were three beautiful-looking women wrapped in quilts, huddled together, shivering. They saw Jerry walk in and suddenly let out a cry of fear.
"What the hell…." Jerry saw the corners of his mouth slightly twitch.
He raised his hand to indicate the three women to be quiet, then opened his mouth and asked, "Where is The Mandarin?"
The three women stopped screaming and pointed in unison to the toilet next to the bedroom. Just as Jerry was about to pull out The Mandarin hiding in the toilet, a large hole was suddenly knocked out of the wall of the master bedroom.
Tony and the male soldier wrestled and crashed in together. Tony's suit each has its own characteristics. Although his current suit has the most advanced remote control and automatic assembly function, relatively speaking, it lacks any weaponry.
So, he had a bit of a problem when it came to close-quarter combat. Especially these soldiers are retired veterans, and their fighting experience is higher than Tony's.
But Tony also has his advantages. He doesn't always use his hands and foot to fight. He can also skillfully use the various techs in the suit that assist him in fighting.
"Tony, can you do it? Do you really not need my help?"
Jerry turned his head just in time to see Tony fighting the same male soldier. The soldier pressed his hands against the wall, with one leg against his lower body. His arms are starting to glow red with the intention of melting Tony's suit.
As a man, how can Tony admit that he needs a little girl's help in a fight?
"No need, I can do it!" Tony yelled. He concentrated most of his energy on his chest. A super-sized blast cannon directly shot that male soldier, and it opened a big hole in his chest.
The male soldier never thought Tony would have something like this on his sleeve. After all, he was fighting someone in a high-tech suit, not a normal person.
Looking down at the big hole in his chest, the soldier directly fell to the ground. The soldier's body has an extremely powerful self-healing ability. If the limbs were cut off, it could slowly generate a new one because it is not a fatal injury.
But if it is fatal, like a large hole in the chest, the head being cut off, and so on. Then the self-healing ability would not do much as they're already dead.
"I told you I could do it." Tony kicked away the body of the soldier.
He made the three women on the bed scream again.
"Oh, sorry ladies!" Tony saw the situation and hurriedly picked up the body of the soldier and threw it out of the bedroom.
However, when he threw the corpse, he saw a female soldier flying in the air and spinning the whole time.
"Jay, I hope we will always be friends. I do not want to have such a terrible enemy as you."
"The Mandarin is in the toilet. You can have your revenge there." Jerry shrugged, then pointed in the direction of the toilet.
"Let me see if this terrorist leader can still act as arrogant as he did on TV now." Tony smiled and walked over to the location of the toilet with a cold smile on his face.
Tony pulled him out of the toilet and quickly explained, "Wait, wait, wait! This is just a misunderstanding. I'm Trevor Slattery, and I'm just an actor."
"Are you serious? Are you sure you're not a double?" Tony looked at the cowardly old man in front of him. His face showed a look of surprise.
The Mandarin on the TV looked like the old man in front of him. Tony thought that this old man was just a stunt double for the broadcast on TV. That's why he doubted him and thought he was just a stunt double.
"No, this is The Mandarin that was shown on the TV. My owl had never been wrong about it." Jerry replied with a frown.
The owl's ability to send letters to find people will not be wrong, even if that person's name is similar to the others. Since The Mandarin that Tony wrote on the envelope at the time was the one he was thinking of on the TV, the one that the owl found now will definitely be the one that he was looking for.
"Since you're just an actor, explain yourself now."
"It is like this, I am The Mandarin, but I'm not the real Mandarin. Because The Mandarin that you see is just a character that I play. You can see these costumes and props that are in the house. I'm just a low-class actor that they just found by accident." The Mandarin knelt on the ground and quickly told the story.
"Was it Aldrich Killian who found you? He recruited you to pose as the leader of the Ten Rings and then plan the terrorist attack?" After listening to The Mandarin's explanation, Tony generally understood the truth.
The mastermind behind all these terrorist activities, such as explosions and killings that happened in recent times, including the bombing of his mansion, was not The Mandarins at all, but Aldrich Killian. The guy who worked with Hansen to develop the Extremis serum and create the Extremis soldiers.
"Since there is no The Mandarin at all, what is his purpose in planning these terrorist attacks?" Tony once again fell into deep thought.
"We can always ask her about it." Jerry waved his hand to lift the whirlwind magic and put down the female soldier who was about to vomit.
"Good idea!"
Tony's eyes lit up. He turned his head and walked to the female soldier who was lying on the floor, leaned down, and asked, "Hey, why did Killian plan these terrorist attacks, and where is he now?"
The female soldier suddenly stopped coughing when Tony looked down, quickly got up, and blasted toward him. As a soldier injected with the Extremis serum, she did not get too dizzy even after being whirled around thousands of times. She just did that to lower the enemy's vigilance.
Originally, she was planning to sneak up on the Wizard. But Jerry was too far away from her, so she had to do it on Tony first. She planned to punch Iron Man and send him flying in the direction of the Wizard and then take the opportunity to escape.
"Shadow!"
However, how could her sneak attack be faster than Jerry's magic? The Wizard cast the Shadow magic and created four black ropes to instantly tied all her limbs so that her plan to sneak attack completely failed.
"Look, let me do it."
Jerry gestured to Tony to move aside and walked up to the female soldier, "Imperio!"
Chapter 285 "Imperius Curse"
Imperius Curse has been cast, and the female soldier's emotion has changed. However, just as Jerry intended to ask her, she surprisingly bit her teeth and immediately returned to normal.
"Huh, she resisted the Imperius Curse. It seems she's quite strong-willed."
Soldiers who had undergone the effect of the serum were no worse than the mercenary leader that tried to assassinate him before. Many of them have undergone torture-resistant training, so their aspect of mind control resistance is more potent.
Since the mercenary leader was immune to the Imperius Curse, it makes sense that this female soldier would also be immune. Of course, if the Imperius Curse does not work, Jerry also has other ways to get the desired information from her mind.
Under normal circumstances, if the Imperius Curse spell does not work. He can use Crucio to torture her first, and until her mind starts to give up, he can use the Imperius Curse once again.
Jerry used this method before as the mercenary leader. But now, Tony is around. The Crucio spell will probably make him think differently about Jerry. Therefore, he gave up this option and used the second option instead.
When Jerry's gaze met with the female soldier's gaze, he immediately unleashed the Legillimency technique he learned from Voldemort.
The most important thing is that he can read her mental activities of her as long as he looks at her. A powerful master of the art of Legillimency can even read the activities of the mind and the memories deep inside the brain. This is the first time he has used it in the main world since he learned it.
He can't use it in everyday situations, and he doesn't like to read other people's minds.
"Tell me, why did Killian plan the terrorist attack? Where is he now?"
The female soldier sniffed and silently closed her eyes, obviously not going to answer his question at all.
"She doesn't know why Killian is planning a terrorist attack but knows where Killian is now. But we need to be quick because your friend, Colonel Rhodes, seems to have been captured by them." Jerry retracted his thoughts and turned his head to Tony.
"Impossible. How do you know that? I didn't say anything!" Her eyes widened when she heard Jerry's words, revealing an unbelievable look.
Jerry looked down at her, "In case you forgot, I'm a wizard, and just now, I just used mind-reading magic."
"They captured Rhodes?" Tony immediately became anxious when he heard that.
Jerry suggested, "Tony, your flight speed is fast. Go save Colonel Rhodes first. I'll stay and take care of this place. Then I'll rush over to help you right away."
"Okay, I'll go first!" He nodded, left the villa, and flew at full speed toward the location of the pier where Killian was.
After he left, the female soldier suddenly thought of something and looked at Jerry and said, "You just said I do not know Killian's plan. If you really can read my mind, it is impossible not to know. Either you were really bluffing or lied to him just now."
Just now, she was stunned by Jerry's mind-reading magic, but now that she thought about it carefully, it wasn't right. She obviously knew about Killian's plan, so why didn't he say that to Tony but only the location of Killian and the fact that they captured Rhodes?
Jerry looked at her and smiled, "Sorry, you know too much."
He then cast the Sectumsempra Curse on her. This scene caused The Mandarin and the three women behind them to scream in fear once again.
"Obliviate!" Jerry cleared the memories of the four people just about his conversation with that female soldier.
Regarding Killian's plan, he had indeed known it from her. He did not tell Tony because he also had his own plans. Killian's plan is very big. He plans to make more Extremis soldiers in order to expand his terrorist organization.
At the same time, his purpose of capturing Colonel Rhodes was also to seize Colonel Rhodes' War Machine suit with help of the suit, get close to the heavily protected president, and kidnap him.
They also got the Vice President on their side by using the Extremis serum to help restore the Vice President's daughter as a bargaining chip.
After the success of the plan, Killian will control both the largest national government in the West and the world's most famous terrorist organization. After which, he can continue to take over other countries and rule the Earth.
However, Jerry felt that his plan was too ambitious. Even if Killian completed the plan, trying to control a country with these Extremis soldiers that could explode at any time.
Wouldn't S.H.I.E.L.D. intervene later?
Let alone him. The Avengers probably would also intervene with his plan.
Jerry doesn't care pretty much regarding the safety of the president itself. So he'll leave that kind of matter to Tony to take care of it. He really cared about the vice president's betrayal of the country by listening to a terrorist organization so that his daughter could recover.
In other words, in the eyes of that vice president, the role of the father is far more important than the role of the vice president. That's why he went to cooperate with a group of terrorists who wanted to kill the president to rule the country just to save her daughter.
Coincidentally, in his suitcase. There happened to be a bottle of amputation regeneration magic potion, a gift from Professor Snape to him at Christmas. This potion can be consumed without any side effects to help the vice president's daughter get rid of her disability.
This is why he did not tell Tony about Killian's plan.
He couldn't let anyone know that the Vice President was serving Killian. He needed the Vice President to stay in that position for the rest of his life and even further after the President left office.
That way, he could gain something like a favor for helping him in the long run.
Chapter 286 "Cooperating With The Vice President"
After using the Sleeping Charm to put down The Mandarin and the three women who had had their memories partially erased, Jerry found a cell phone in the house and called the local police department to come to the villa to take over the situation.
After that was done, he flew out of the villa and recalled his twelve robot soldiers. All the bodyguards in the villa had been electrocuted by the twelve robotic soldiers and put on the ground, and the police came and took them away.
"Now, go find that vice president." Jerry set up a Muggle Repelling Spell in a nearby unoccupied place, pulled out a stone from his suitcase, and instantly disappeared in the same place.
In Washington, Pennsylvania Avenue, the roof of a high-rise building. Jerry's figure appeared out of thin air. It was he who used a Portkey he placed in advance to teleport from Florida to Washington.
It turns out that, long before, he took the time to leave the Portkeys in a total of ten cities in Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. For convenience and concealment, he made the Portkeys into a stone pattern and set them on the roofs of some city buildings.
So, he could come directly from Florida and instantly to Washington, which is thousands of miles away. He once again pulled out an owl, handed a letter with the vice president's name on it, and then cast a Disillusionment Charm for it before releasing it.
Fifteen minutes later, somewhere in Washington, inside an estate protected by dozens of Secret Service agents. After instructing the maids to make his daughter's favorite honey-baked ham this evening, the vice president arrived at his daughter's room on the second floor with a face full of tenderness.
"Don't worry. It won't take long for you to be recovered."
Looking at his daughter sitting in a wheelchair and looking out of the window, the vice president became even more determined.
And at this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Are you really sure you want to work with Killian? His serum is not as stable as it says. I feel that the probability that your daughter can return to normal should not be as high as the probability of exploding."
"Who's there?"
Hearing a stranger's voice in the room, the vice president immediately shouted out loud and then turned to protect his daughter's front.
"Do not worry. I did not come here to hurt you and you do not have to talk so loudly. I have applied a spell in this room that allows those agents outside not to hear whatever we're discussing here." Jerry smiled and said soothingly.
"God, you're The Wizard!"
At this time, the vice president's daughter poked her head out from behind her father, saw the Wizard's robe on Jerry's body, and immediately became excited with a face full of excitement.
The Wizard is the idol of most children and young people nowadays. It is someone who can perform countless magical spells, the embodiment of justice, the nemesis of New York criminals, and who rode a dragon to repel the aliens invading the Earth.
Obviously, the vice president's daughter was one of the Wizard's fans. So, she recognized Jerry at first glance.
"The Wizard, I don't know what you are talking about. It seems a bit impolite for you to visit so suddenly."
The vice president knows the Wizard very much, knowing what had been happening in the country lately. But through what the Wizard said, he knew his secret had been exposed.
Jerry was not surprised to see this but slowly said, "Mr. Vice President, you don't have to be nervous or deny it. Tony and I have just captured The Mandarin in Florida, and now Tony is on his way to Killian's base."
"What do you want?"
Hearing Jerry's explanation, the vice president knew that he had been completely exposed. Since he already knows Killian's base and is waiting here so calmly, it means that their plan is estimated to be impossible to succeed.
Once the plan fails, the vice president will probably be sentenced to prison for life just because of cooperating with a terrorist organization.
However, Jerry continued to calm him down, "Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows about you and Killian cooperation. Tony does not know about it, and he'll be taking care of Killian and the others. You don't have to worry about going to jail, and you don't have to worry about how your daughter will go on later."
At this time, the vice president had already known what Jerry was thinking.
"What is your purpose in doing this? Do you want to control me like Killian?" The vice president took a deep breath and asked Jerry.
Jerry shrugged and said, "I don't have the time to control you. I just hope that if you find any information about me in the future, you can report to me first." He has no interest in controlling the vice president, or even the president, or this country.
What is the use of controlling this country? Can it help him fight all the aliens that descend later? Can it help him to beat Odin and The Ancient One?
He has to deal with the vice president just for the future in case his identity is exposed. If some government officials, such as those politicians, generals, and the like, are targeting or looking for his family, he wants to know and control all the information passed on.
As long as he knows about it, he'll take care of it immediately, all by himself, whether it is to kill them directly or modify their memory. He has many ways to deal with those kinds of people.
"That's all?" The vice president showed a look of disbelief.
"I just think that you, as a father, are willing to go to extreme lengths for your daughter, even at the risk of being controlled by a group of terrorists, is actually quite admirable. If you're willing, I can recover your daughter completely without any side effects." Jerry shrugged his shoulders.
Chapter 287 "Amputated Limb"
"Is it true?" Hearing that the Wizard had a way to restore his daughter's health, the vice president's emotions instantly lit up.
In his early years, he had offended many political enemies in order to run for the vice presidency, and those political enemies could not retaliate against him, who was strictly protected. They then took revenge on his wife and daughter.
In a deliberately arranged traffic accident, his wife was killed on the spot, and his daughter did not die immediately because his wife used her body as protection. Still, she lost her right leg and became a disabled person who could only sit on a chair for the rest of her life.
It was too late after running for the position, although he sent all his political enemies who caused the accident to jail. In his heart, he has always had a deep guilt for his daughter. This is why he was willing to be controlled by a terrorist organization.
It was him that brought those soldiers who were discharged from the army because of their disabilities, and those soldiers are now no longer disabled.
"Miss Wizard, if you can restore my daughter to normal, I will repay you well, and I will do my best to help you whenever you ask for anything."
After grasping the vice president into his hand, Jerry smiled and walked up to the vice president's daughter, pulled out the magic potion prepared in advance, leaned down, and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Alice." The girl's expression was a little shy and a little excited.
"Alice, drink this potion. The magic will make you feel something and regain your ability to walk."
Jerry handed Alice the magic potion in his hand. Alice took the magic potion and drank it down without hesitation in one gulp. A moment later, she let out a cry of pain, and next, a scene that she could not believe appeared.
Her right leg, which had been amputated three years ago, actually began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than ten seconds, it was completely back to normal. Alice tried to stand up from the wheelchair and then carefully took two steps.
Then, she jumped into Jerry's arms at once.
"Thank you, the Wizard! Thank you for giving me a chance to stand up again!"
Jerry froze for a moment, then patted Alice's back and laughed, "Actually, you should thank your father even more!"
He only has one magic potion that could do this, so he'll have to make it worthwhile because he can't save everyone in the world. He does not have time to cure them one by one, that's why he said Alice should thank her father.
The vice president was also very excited and even had some tears in the corners of his eyes. However, when he opened his hands with the intention of giving his daughter a big hug, he saw that his daughter had actually jumped into the arms of the wizard.
But hearing the Wizard's words, his mood instantly got better again. Alice turned to her father's arms to jump over.
"Miss Wizard, thank you so much."
The vice president let go of Alice and was about to express his gratitude to the Wizard. However, he found that the Wizard had disappeared, leaving behind only a mirror and the words that had not yet dissipated, "I'm going to solve more problems. If you have any news to tell me later, shout my name into the mirror."
The vice president picked up the mirror for a moment of silence before shouting loudly toward the door and saying, "Smith!"
"Yes, sir?"
A few moments later, a tall agent pushed the door and walked in.
"Get me Mr. President on the phone!" The vice president commanded.
"Yes, sir!"
Agent Smith's pupils shrank when he saw Alice, who was standing next to the vice president and had completely returned to normal. He did not say anything but quickly took out his phone and dialed the president's secretary.
"Mr. Tony and Miss Wizard have found the terrorist organization's lair at a pier in Florida. I request to send F22 fighter planes and troops to support."
Meanwhile.
Tony, who was on his way to the pier, asked Jarvis, "Jarvis, how's the situation in Malibu?"
"The cranes arrived last night, and the basement exits have now been cleared," Jarvis replied.
"Good, initiate The House Party Protocol."
Tony heard that the basement exit had been cleared, and his face was relieved. He wanted to use all of the legions of his iron suit to fight Killian, hence initiating his fully prepared protocol.
In Los Angeles, Malibu.
A group of workers are driving a crane, clearing the ruins of the stone. In the first location, they cleared as requested by their employer. There was a sudden sound of a machine turning far away.
Immediately after that, they saw the ground start moving, and the lights below lit up. A series of iron suits of different shapes turned on by themselves, flying out of the hole.
At this time, at the pier in Florida.
Killian relied on the lava-like heat inside his body to force Colonel Rhodes to take off his War Machine suit voluntarily.
"Lock him up. Let's go and bring Mr. President here."
According to the vice president's message, the president would leave the security reserve today and head to Air Force One. He would wear the War Machine, disguise as Colonel Roddy, and enter Air Force One in a dignified manner to bring the president here.
"Jarvis, enter hide mode." A few hundred meters away, Tony ordered Jarvis.
His dozens of suits with different functions were rushing over at supersonic speed, and it would take some time to get here. Originally, he would wait until all the suits arrived and then wait for the Wizard to come over.
But now, Rhodes was in danger. Waiting for another second later might dangers his life, so he had first to try to sneak in quietly to see if he could save Rhodes.
"Huh, War Machine suit?" Just as Tony was about to descend slowly and approach, he suddenly saw the War Machine that appeared.
Chapter 288 "Fighting"
"Jarvis, crack the War Machine program and check if the pilot inside now is Colonel Rhodes." Seeing the War Machine standing on the deck while a few Extremis soldiers followed next to it, something was obviously not quite right. Tony immediately stopped the plan and issued an order to Jarvis.
"Yes, sir." A moment later, Tony saw Killian's face in his helmet.
War Machine was originally a gift from Tony to Rhodes, and although scientists in the army had given it some modifications and protection, he could still hack into it if he wanted to.
"What does Killian want to do in the War Machine?" Seeing that it was not Rhodes in the War Machine but Killian, Tony had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I can't let him leave."
Seeing the War Machine was about to take off. Tony finally made a plan to rush up to him and attack him with a chest cannon. Killian used the War Machine disguised as Colonel Rhodes. It is obvious that is weird. If he is going to use the identity of Rhodes to make any terrorist attack, then it will be a problem.
At this time, he could not care less about infiltrating to save Rhodes but first chose to stop the more threatening Killian. Although Killian barely learned the basic operation of the War Machine, it is still problematic if he gets away.
Tony suddenly appeared in front of him and blasted him with a chest cannon. He had no time to control the War Machine to dodge and was blasted directly in the face.
"Boss!"
Those soldiers standing on the deck watched as Killian fell at a faster rate than when he had just taken off, smashing through the deck and landing in the underground cabin. Killian holds all the technology of the Extremis serum, and if he dies, then it won't be long before all of the soldiers are blown up into fireworks.
"Damn you, Tony!" However, a roar came out from the underground.
Immediately after, Killian jumped from the cabin to the deck. At this time, his stomach obviously missing a large piece of flesh, but was recovering quickly.
"Come!" Tony flew high in the air, heard Killian's shout below, and provoked him.
He surprisingly spewed out a breath of fire toward Tony. He directly moved away so that Killian's flames wouldn't hit him. He roughly looked around. Now there are at least close to fifty Extremis soldiers below. He will certainly be torn into pieces if he goes down.
The most important thing to do now is to keep provoking him to stall for time and wait for the arrival of his iron legion and The Wizard.
"Look at me, dumbo." Tony relied on dodging the attacks of the group of soldiers below and the long-range weapons such as rocket launchers and machine guns they picked up.
"This is useless, go and bring our dear Colonel Rhodes here!"
Killian wasn't stupid and knew that it would be hard for them to hurt him as long as Tony didn't come down. He immediately had his men go to the cabin and bring Rhodes out. When Tony saw Rhodes, who the soldiers brought, he was shocked.
"Tony, I order you to come down now immediately and take off your suit, or I will kill him immediately!" Killian came in front of Rhodes and shouted toward Tony in the air.
"If I came down here, you're just going to kill both of us in the spot. Do you think I'm that dumb to fall for those kinds of tricks?" Tony looked down at Killian and taunted him.
He wants to save Rhodes, but according to Killian's request, he can not save Rhodes at all.
"Fair point. I'll give you a chance. You can come down in that suit of yours, and then we fight one-on-one. If you win, I'll let you and Rhodes leave. How about that?" Killian put away the flames and lifted Rhodes up by the neck with one hand.
"Or I can kill him right now."
"Wait, wait, wait. I'll take that offer." Tony saw that Rhodes was choked to the point of suffocation and hurriedly landed on the deck.
Although he knew that he and Killian alone were good because his purpose was to delay the time and wait for his iron legion and the Wizard to come.
Killian let go of Rhodes, whose face had turned purple. Flames came out of his hand, and he rushed towards Tony like lightning.
"Eleven years since in that rooftop, you know how desperate I am? And now I want you to experience my desperation at that time!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you." Tony replied as he desperately fended off the attack.
Back then, when he was young, he was hitting on Hansen. Killian was there hoping to get funding for his research. To avoid being disturbed, he tricked Killian into waiting for him on the rooftop.
Of course, he didn't go to the rooftop; now that he thought about it, he acted quite a jerk. But he didn't expect him to be engaging in terrorist activities.
"I sincerely apologize for it." Killian slammed Tony hard on the deck with one fist and ripped off one of Tony's mechanical arms.
Now what he wants is not an apology but revenge.
The serum in Killian's body has obviously undergone special optimization. Even Tony wearing the suit, was having trouble, but most of the time, he had the upper hand,
Tony took advantage of his opponent's carelessness and blew off one of his arms. In just a few seconds, his arm completely regenerates.
Just when Tony had been violently ripped off the entire upper half of his suit by Killian, almost defenseless and about to be killed, a voice suddenly made everyone stop what they were doing.
"Oh? Am I interrupting you guys?"
The crowd looked up, and a stranger with huge white wings spread out. As if an angel appeared above them at some point
Chapter 289 "High Level Magic"
The figure with a pair of angel wings was no other than Jerry, who had developed a new Flight Magic to come from the villa where The Mandarin lived.
He was at the vice president's manor. After healing Alice's disability with the magic potion, he returned to the roof of the building where the Portkey was stored with Apparition and used the Portkey to return to the vicinity of the villa in Florida.
After returning to Florida, he immediately cast his new Flight Magic and rushed toward the location. Upon arrival, just in time to see the scene of Tony being stripped of his upper body and being toppled by Killian, he couldn't resist making a joke.
"If you're late by a minute, you might not have seen me again." Tony was finally relieved to see Jerry appear.
Although his iron legion is still on the way, when the Wizard arrives, at least his and Rhodes' safety is no longer a problem.
"If you intervene, I'll kill both of you right now."
The Wizard is powerful, but at this time, Killian is also bursting with self-confidence. He thinks that the Wizard could be defeated since Jerry is alone and Killian has at least fifty soldiers around him.
Jerry directly put away his wings and instantly appeared in front of Killian's face.
"Wind!" With a wave of his hand, a greenish wind with a powerful force instantly blew Killian backward and smashed hard on the container on the cruise ship.
"Reparo!" With another wave of the hand, Tony's suit was once again restored to its previous condition.
"Get Rhodes first!" Tony got up and said to Jerry.
Jerry nodded. His figure disappeared once again and reappeared behind Rhodes. By fusing the magic principle of the Dash card, Jerry's Apparition is now not only much faster when activated.
These Extremis soldiers transformed by the serum, they obviously do not understand any spatial principles and can not detect spatial fluctuations. When they perceived Jerry coming behind Rhodes, Jerry had already brought Rhodes back again next to Tony.
"Take Rhodes away, I'll take care of it here with my new magic." Looking at Killian with fifty soldiers rushing aggressively towards this side, Jerry said to Tony, who was also holding Rhodes in the air.
"New magic?" Tony looked at him without thinking any further, dragged Rhodes, and flew to the side.
Using his newly improved Fire Dragon Spell might not be effective because those soldiers might have some immunity toward a flame.
Ascending to high altitude, Jerry closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to mobilize his magic power in large quantities. He stood motionless for about three seconds before violently opening his eyes.
At once, a huge tornado began to take shape below Jerry.
The powerful tornado with storm instantly descended on the ship below, and slowly swept the entire ship, as well as all the soldiers and hired soldiers. It is a card with the combination of The Windy card and the Rain card, with causes a big storm and gust of wind to be instantly summoned.
The way it is presented is like a raging tornado. Under the strong twisting of the tornado, in no time, the whole ship was completely destroyed and turned into various pieces.
The soldiers in the center of the tornado were even worse. At first, they were just swept up in mid-air by the tornado, but after a while, when the ship was destroyed into pieces, they were like meat in a meat grinder, instantly strangled into mush by the pieces.
In the end, only Killian uses his body constantly emitting hot flames to melt the approaching debris and then relies on a level of self-healing ability to barely able to hold until the tornado ends.
Jerry saw the situation once again and recited the incantation towards the air. A big thunder immediately appeared from the cloud above the tornado straight down, precisely hitting Killian, who was struggling to maintain his balance.
"Argh!" Killian, who was struck by lightning, had a look of horror in his eyes and then let out a desperate roar.
A lightning attack obviously can not kill him, but it can make him fell in a state of paralysis.
Sure enough, the defensive flame emanating from Killian's body instantly disappeared when lightning struck him. He was also strangled into flesh paste by the countless fragments in the tornado.
High in the air, Jerry watched the entire ship and all the people on board disappear under his magic and then withdrew his magic with satisfaction. Although this kind of wide range of attack magic is a bit magic intensive, it has been proven to be very effective against enemies like these.
"That is not magic. That's just a chaotic natural disaster." On the shore, Rhodes watched Jerry use the Tornado to destroy the entire ship and all the soldiers. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Tornadoes are natural disasters that, even until the current technological development, we can't stop when a tornado appears and destroys the environment. But the Wizard can use magic to invoke tornadoes like this is just terrifying.
"I don't know why. I suddenly don't feel anxious now." At this time, Tony opened his suit's mask and murmured a sentence.
Since the battle of New York, he was very anxious about the alien invasion. He was constantly making and improving his iron suit.
But now, seeing that the Wizard can easily summon a natural disaster like a tornado, the strength seems much stronger than the New York battle. He suddenly feels that the aliens aren't that worrisome anymore.
His iron legion is still on the way, and the Wizard has solved things in less than a minute.
He believed that if there really were another alien invasion like the last one, the Wizard alone would be able to give the enemy an unimaginably heavy blow, and they would be just supporting him from a distance.
"Ah! My War Machine!" At this time, Rhodes just remembered that his suit was also in that ship. According to the current situation, it is estimated that it is also turned into scrap metal.
Chapter 290 "Trouble"
"Sorry, I forgot about it!" At this time, Jerry's voice suddenly sounded behind Rhodes and Tony.
"It's okay. I mean, that's probably the only way you'll get rid of the enemy quickly." Rhodes quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was fine.
He forgot that the Wizard could also use teleportation magic. He was still high in the air and teleported unexpectedly behind them. However, why is the Wizard always teleport behind them rather than teleporting in front of them? Which always makes them startled.
It's like someone always likes to hide behind a door, around the corner, and suddenly jump out to scare people.
"It's okay. I'll make you a new one once we're back." At this point, Tony opened his mouth to comfort him.
He made the first original design of the suit itself, so of course, he would know how to create a new one. Although the previous one has been modified by someone else, he would make a new and better one for Rhodes.
"Ah, you don't need to do that."
This time Jerry laughed, waved his hand at the wreckage of the ship in the sea, and recited a spell, "Accio War Machine."
Five seconds later, a wrecked or can be called a mass of scrap metal, far from the sea, flew out and landed in front of the three.
"Reparo!" Jerry once again cast magic on the scrap of War Machine. In just a few seconds, it was restored to a brand-new appearance.
A lightning bolt struck on the brand new War Machine, and the power was instantly replenished.
"There you go!" Jerry turned his head to Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes was stunned by his skill set of magic operations of Jerry. Although he had just seen it once on the cruise ship, now this series of magical magic still made him in awe. Even if the world's best engineer here saw this set of magic done by the Wizard, they were willing to bow down to Jerry.
"Thank you, thank you!" Rhodes spoke excitedly.
Tony is not surprised. Jerry can repair his suit like this several times.
"It seems that the police and the army are about to come. I'll leave it up to you guys!" Hearing the sound of sirens in the distance, as well as the appearance of ships and fighter jets in the air, Jerry disappeared.
Time went back to Washington half an hour ago.
After talking to the president, the vice president immediately mobilized the naval, land, and air forces and police near the Floridian state and launched a siege on all fronts to Killian's lair. He himself quickly went to the White House and the President, who had already arrived in Air Force One.
Given what he just saw, Killian and his disposable army. He had some doubts that it would work that even the army itself was sent to Killian's Base. That's why he was worried that relying on the Wizard and Iron Man alone might not necessarily wipe out Killian and all his soldiers.
But when reporting to the president, he gave credit to the Wizard and Iron Man for all the sources of information he knew. This way, in case something goes wrong and a rogue soldier tells the truth, he can completely deny it. It is also a way for him to gain ranks in the political world.
"Have the troops arrived yet?" Inside the White House, the president and vice president, who were heavily guarded, were talking on video with the general who was on this mission.
And on the other end of the video, the general reported, "The Navy and Air Force are currently three kilometers away from their destination, and the Army is five kilometers away. They were about to arrive at the destination."
"Good. Remember to cooperate with Iron Man, The Wizard, and Iron Patriot when you arrive to wipe out that group of terrorists."
The terrorist attacks that have been broadcast live during this period of time have made him quite a headache. At that moment, an urgent report from a soldier suddenly came from the other end of the video.
"Reporting! There is a powerful tornado in the destination ahead. Our fleet can not continue to move forward!"
"Tornado, are you kidding?" The general revealed an unbelievable look.
"General, five fighter jets were likewise unable to approach because of the tornado. They have a video to be shown that they captured."
Immediately after that, the president, vice president, and the general watched the live video of Jerry spreading his angel-like wings and casting out a tornado in the air, destroying the ship and all the soldiers.
That's when the vice president finally understood why the Wizard left. In the eyes of the Wizard, Killian, and his soldiers really is nothing.
At the same time, Washington S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
"Barton, can you be sure that this is the real appearance of the wizard you saw that time in New Mexico?"
Fury took Jerry's photo and placed it in front of Barton, who had completed his memory recovery training. Barton looked at the photo of Jerry, nodded affirmatively, and said the same experience as when Coulson reported earlier.
On the side, Coulson looked at Fury and asked, "Director, since the identity of the Wizard has been confirmed, what are you going to do?"
Fury smiled and fell into silence. Because of this question, he also did not know how to answer. Out of all the members of the Avengers, the Wizard is the one that's very difficult to control.
Barton and Natasha are originally S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and accept his orders completely. Because Carter is the creator of S.H.I.E.L.D., Steve moved to Washington D.C., to accept his orders to complete the appropriate tasks.
Tony is powerful but weak if he doesn't use his armor.
Hulk is uncontrollable, but Dr. Banner is a person who can be controlled and is now working with S.H.I.E.L.D. to study to see if he can find a cure for himself. After turning into the Hulk, Natasha's job is to calm him until he transforms back to normal.
As for Thor, his identity is cleared. He's not much of a big-brainer, but he'll easy to be asked for cooperation.
Only the Wizard, not only powerful but shows a bit of suspicion towards S.H.I.E.L.D's side by not giving him his full identity.
Now, they finally accidentally cracked the Wizard's true identity. Now they need to find the right move not to provoke the Wizard's action.
Chapter 291 "Mahjong Girl Strike"
"Director, there's an important video for you to see. It's about The Wizard." At this time, Hill knocked on the door outside the office.
Fury heard that it was related to the Wizard and immediately let Hill walk in.
"Director, this is the video our satellite captured in Florida and the relevant intelligence that we just compiled." Hill placed the tablet on the table and began to play the video.
The video was played. It's about Jerry summoning a tornado to destroy a cruise ship. S.H.I.E.L.D. is also keeping an eye on Killian and the Extremis serum.
After watching the video, Fury took a deep breath and became even more torn. The stronger the Wizard's performance, the stronger the Earth's strength against the aliens will be in the future, but likewise, the more difficult it is to control the Wizard.
He thought that they should use some radical means, but now it seems that it is better not to. Because things may go out of control if they anger the Wizard and result in the Wizard not only no longer helping against the aliens but also getting revenge on Earth, it is a bad situation.
He is a smart man and knows how to maximize the benefits. When the risks and benefits are completely out of proportion, there is no need to take risks. The disaster caused by the research of Space Stone is a good example.
"All wizardry aside, the information on his abilities is in line with the admissions standards of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology?" Fury asked Coulson.
Coulson looked carefully and said, "In addition to a slightly younger age, learning ability, character, and other aspects. It is quite consistent with the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology admissions standards."
"Find a way to let S.H.I.E.L.D. Admissions see this information, but be careful about him knowing that we did this on purpose and make it like they would enroll the Wizard in the future." Fury ordered.
He knew very well how vigilant the Wizard was if he directly gave the order for the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy admissions teachers recruit the Wizard to enroll. Then it is likely that the Wizard will find out in the end.
Once the Wizard knows his identity is exposed, it is very likely to use that magic that can make people forget their memories or other strange magic on a large scale, and that can be a problem.
He wants to let the admissions office "accidentally" find Jerry is a good potential agent recruit. According to the investigation, the actual Wizard's identity is unknown to Jerry's family.
Therefore, with the eloquence of the group of professionals in the admissions office. Even if the Wizard himself is not very willing, there is a good chance that his family will push him to join the academy.
"Director, you want him to find a sense of belonging after joining S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, and then reduce his hostility towards us?" Coulson realized his intention.
"I believe that he will definitely change his mind about us if he really spends a few years inside." Fury said in a firm tone.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is a special training place for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, in addition to agents and a variety of the most talented scientists and technical talents.
The Academy will allow students to learn and experience the original purpose of the creation of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the concept of defending the Earth—many students who graduated from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy chose to join S.H.I.E.L.D. because of the noble ideology of defending the Earth.
Fury felt that the Wizard, who was only thirteen years old, could hardly not be influenced and thus change to some extent in his thinking. Maybe after graduation, he will really take the initiative to join S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Sixty thousand? It's a little higher than I expected." Jerry first opened his panel and checked up on the growth of the red stars.
Originally thought that this trip at most would gain 20,000 to 30,000 red stars, did not expect the final results to be 60,000. But think about it, he thought it was just to deal with ordinary terrorists, but it turned out to be a group of super-human soldiers. Of course, the red stars will be more.
Those Extremis soldiers can create a lot of trouble. Not to mention that the leader, Killian, also wants to control a country and start a world war.
First of all, the red stars earned are a lot, and secondly, with the country's vice president in his grasp, it is equivalent to having control on a governmental side.
But he can't underestimate a vice president's influence because it can take out Jerry through his powers. But he can play an important part later in one of his plans.
For example, the vice president can give pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D. through his connection whenever he has a problem with them.
"Oh, the Mahjong Girl is making a move." Just when Jerry was ready to close the panel to continue studying magic, he suddenly received a message from the dragon and could not help but reveal a smile on his face.
He took out the improved magic camera and disappeared in the same place with the Apparition.
Five minutes ago, Aisha carried her school bag and said goodbye to Anne and her other friends. As usual, she walked to the nearest subway entrance to the school. Since she started junior high school and moved to live in the villa area, she took the subway by herself every day to go home.
"Hey, didn't you say that my duty as the new master is to collect the remaining pieces of Carmen Mahjong? Now that I'm proficient in twenty pieces of the tiles, why aren't we going to find them?"
It had been more than a month since she obtained the book from the basement of her family's villa and became the new owner.
Under the guidance of the dragon, she practiced every day in the garden and could use the magic in the book skillfully. The dragon had not taken her to find the remaining Carmen tiles, which made her a little anxious.
"I just woke up, and power has not yet recovered. I can not sense the location of the remaining tiles. We'll have to wait a little longer." The dragon, disguised as a doll lying on Aisha's shoulder, helplessly returned.
It is not that it does not take Aisha to find the remaining tiles, but the remaining tiles haven't even been made yet by Jerry.
"Thief! Thief!" Just at this time, not far in front of the subway, the sound of a woman's cry for help suddenly came.
Immediately after, someone was dragging a leather bag toward the direction where Aisha was running wildly.
Chapter 292 "Working Aisha"
At this time, Aisha saw the thief running across the street. Not only was she not afraid of it, but she also showed a look of excitement.
"Since we can't find the remaining tiles for the time being, let's fight crime like the Wizard!"
Ever since the Wizard appeared, Aisha immediately became her biggest fan, and even when she first started middle school and began to say goodbye to middle school, her idol has never changed.
Now that she has become the newest magical book master and can use magic. Of course, she wants to learn about her idol fighting criminals and become a superhero that everyone admires.
Backing up to a corner where no one was around, Aisha took off the key of the seal hanging on her chest and began to recite the incantation, "O' key that hides the power of darkness, show your true power before me! Now in the name of your master, I command you to lift the seal!"
After a burst of light, the seal instantly transformed into a magnificent wand. At the same time, Jerry has been stealthy like a house elf. He can get all angles of her acts in video throughout the subway.
This is the first time she will do something like this, and this needs to be taken on camera.
"Cover your face!" Seeing that Aisha was about to rush out with her wand, the dragon hurriedly reminded.
"Oh, right, right!" Aisha then remembered that she forgot to cover her face, and hurriedly took out her long-prepared magical girl mask from her school bag and put it on her face.
In order to prevent her real identity was discovered, affecting her father, brother, and Belle, she almost forgot about it because it was her first time. Aisha has prepared a mask that can hide her face. Just now, because it was her first time, she almost forgot about it.
"Stand still. I am here to represent justice. Put the bag you grabbed on the ground, or I will take action with my own magic!"
Aisha stood in the middle of the subway exit, turned the wand in her hand, crossed it in front of her chest, and said the line she had prepared beforehand.
The thief looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl with a mask trying to stop him. He could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Get lost, little girl. Did you really think you're The Wizard?"
Since the emergence of wizards, thieves like him have become more and more difficult to do their operations. In the past, they preyed on the dark roadside and remote alleys every night. They can obtain a lot of loot stolen from others at that time window.
But now, he does not dare to strike at night. Afraid that the sky suddenly shot a magic light, he was stunned in place, the police came to arrest him, and he'll be thrown in jail for years. Several of his colleagues have gone in this way.
Therefore, he does not dare to steal at night and can only risk doing it in the daytime, like now. When there are fewer people, they will aim for someone that's really vulnerable and an easy target.
The thief did not hesitate to push her away to the side, fled the subway entrance, and ran into the nearby alley that had been surveyed.
However, things are not as simple as he imagined.
He saw the little girl quickly pull out a small wooden block from her pocket, then bounced up like a coin. The magnificent wand in her hand flicked on the block and shouted, "Wind!"
A greenish wind instantly flew out from that wooden block, directly blowing the thief up and hitting the top of the subway ceiling hard. He was entangled in that wind and then fell hard on the ground.
Just with two hits, the thief instantly fainted.
"Look at that!" Retracting the Mahjong, Aisha couldn't resist spinning in place and posing another pose that she thought was very much in line with her magical girl status.
This is the first time she uses magic in action. She felt that this is a really good feeling like a dream come true. It was still very different from practicing by herself in the villa.
The onlookers on the subway were attracted by the scene and pulled out their phones. The woman that lost her bag also chased over to retrieve the bag from the hands of the thief and thanked Aisha.
"Shift!" Aisha hastily pulled out another tile from her pocket, waved her wand, and her whole figure disappeared in the same place.
Jerry made twenty pieces of Mahjong. Although Clow cards and the tiles are basically similar, in the process of making, he also added some of his own magical theory.
For example, the Shift tile is not only limited to moving a person's body but also integrates the characteristics of Apparition and can take the caster to move away from the spot instantly.
However, in order to prevent his sister from using magic indiscriminately or using magic too often, others. Jerry lets the dragon inform his sister that there will be some limitations.
"Those pose do familiar. It's like the pose that she always uses when playing with Anne and the others." At this time, Jerry put away the camera, a smile that could not help but appear on his face.
"I guess I'll save this video for later. Because this is simply an unforgettable memory."
He apparated to his villa and opened his panel. Sure enough, if he expected, his red stars gained a certain amount of growth. As for why there was a sudden increase of fifteen red stars, it was due to the fact that Aisha had just used the Carmen Book to do a good deed and catch a thief who had stolen something.
Jerry creates the Carmen Book, and its real owner is Jerry. Aisha doesn't have magic. Jerry gave her the right to use the Carmen Book so that she could normally use them to cast the corresponding magic.
Therefore, Aisha used the Carmen Book to do good deeds. Jerry can get some red stars from it because it works as a medium that Jerry himself casts the magic to do good deeds.
This is actually one of the reasons Jerry created The Carmen Book. Not only because he wanted to help his sister fulfill her dream and let her have the ability to protect herself but also to let his sister work for him so that he could have more time to study magic.
After all, it is now somewhat uneconomical for him to devote his time to dealing with common criminals. But it'll be worthwhile given his passive earning, getting red stars without having to do anything.
Chapter 293 "Early Love"
Christmas is here. Jerry returned to his family villa, where Haas and the others are living together. The number of red stars he has accumulated today is already 200,000. After accompanying his family this Christmas, Jerry planned to go to the world of Harry Potter again to study and learn time magic.
"Aisha, I want to eat spicy chicken!"
Inside Aisha's room, the dragon heard her that she was about to eat dinner and quickly circled around Aisha. Since it was born, for some reason, it likes to eat spicy food very much. Especially a spicy chicken made by Jerry.
"I know, I know. I will give you a little bit later."
Aisha scratched her head, writing about the Christmas gift her brother gave herself two days ago, "The Great Collection of Mathematics for School Students".
He said this book is what he used to pass the exam. All the math problems were carefully selected, and she spent a lot of effort hoping that in just two weeks, her semester would end. Since Christmas, she has not been in a very happy mood.
She was thinking about pursuing justice with her magic, but she had a math exam to be taken care of. Her brother stared at her every day to do math problems, and she had little time to sneak out to do some superhero action.
What's more unfortunate is that none of the magic in her book can help her with math problems either, and even the dragon can't solve math problems.
"Aisha, who are you talking to?" At this time, Jerry suddenly pushed the door and looked in with a puzzled face.
"No one. It's just that this problem is too difficult, and I don't know, that's why I'm talking to myself." Aisha hurriedly got up to block the dragon's figure and explained to Jerry.
Jerry pretended to be so, laughed, and said, "Ah, it's okay. Well, I won't help you, but it's time for you to eat now."
"Okay, brother, I'll clean up and go out right away." Aisha said with a smile.
Jerry nodded and closed the door again. During this period of time, probably out of the excitement of just becoming a superhero, Aisha went out to do some action a little too often. It has seriously affected her study, and her math is getting worse and worse.
Jerry felt that this is not good, although he has gained some red stars, but Aisha's academic performance is also very important.
Jerry gathered all the mathematical knowledge of primary and secondary schools in his previous life and present life, and then used his magic to create a magic book called "The Great Collection of Mathematics for School Students".
This "The Great Collection of Mathematics for School Students" is actually a magic book, and its magic effect is that as long as you read the question carefully, it will help the person solve the equations more efficiently.
With this, Aisha can proficiently study math more efficiently and keep on getting red stars for Jerry.
After eating, Haas is lying on the couch with his head in the sand, Belle is cleaning up the dishes, and Jerry is watching some biologist's online video instruction on his tablet.
"What's Aisha doing in her room with half a plate of spicy chicken?" Haas caught sight of Aisha finishing her meal and taking half a plate of leftover spicy chicken from the fridge and couldn't help but mutter to Jerry.
Jerry laughed at this, "Maybe she didn't eat enough and wanted to go to her room to eat slowly."
"Is that so? I always feel that Aisha is always secretive in recent times. I don't even know who she is talking to lately."
"Nah, I think it's just that she talks more alone to get herself more focused. Not that she found someone special or anything." He knew that Aisha was not on the phone with anyone, but she was talking to the dragon he had created.
However, parents were very much interested if their children had someone special that they always talked to because early love interests them.
As far as he knows, Haas and Aisha's deceased mother also fell in love in junior high school, then continued to high school, and finally married just after graduating college. So both Haas and Aisha's mother are the kind of couple who got their early love.
However, he can't blame Haas for it. Jerry was in junior high school for only one year and saw several students had already found their partners. If Aisha really has a boyfriend in school, he might be as cautious as Haas.
"Well, she is most likely a bit rebel-ish due to her phase at this age. You're probably someone she would talk to about something secret."
Haas nodded, "Of course, the exception would be in your case. You're in high school, so if you get a girlfriend, I'm not against it."
"Alright then."
Boys and girls are treated differently, he is actually just a year older than Aisha according to the age on his ID card, but looking at Haas, he doesn't object to him having a girlfriend. Perhaps, in the eyes of Haas, Jerry is already mature, and he is no different than adults, especially now Jerry in height has not have too much difference from him.
If Jerry fell in love when he became an adult, Haas could have grandchildren.
"By the way, Jerry. I see that you have been reading biology-related books. Is it that you plan to be a biologist in the future?"
"Yes, I am currently interested in this field. Oh, I have finished my high school knowledge on my own, and if there is no accident, I will apply for admission to several universities such as Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, and Columbia in February."
"All the various exams required for admission were already taken last semester, and get my transcripts. So it shouldn't be a big problem." Jerry nodded and told Haas about his plan.
Although most of his energy was spent on studying magic, he hadn't missed out on his school-related classes and had even taken time to take the various required exams for college applications while getting extremely good grades.
Plus, there were letters of recommendation from the principal of Midtown High School and teachers. So as long as he applied for it, it wouldn't be any problem where he would get accepted.
Chapter 294 "Academy"
"What? You're applying to college?" When Haas heard Jerry's words, he sat up from the sofa in shock.
He knew that Jerry was a genius, and this had been proven countless times since he was a child. However, he did not expect Jerry to be such a genius.
He finished junior high school in just a year, and now high school is also in just a year. In addition to that, he had taken some college passing tests to enter various colleges around the world.
"Isn't that a little early?" Haas asked cautiously.
"I mean, it's not too early. Have you seen that TV Show about Sheldon, who just spent a few years in school and then went to college?" Jerry said with a shrug.
Haas said helplessly, "But that's a TV show. There's no Sheldon in reality."
"Maybe I'll go to college and bring home a college girlfriend soon after." Jerry joked.
"Well, I think you'll do good there. So, I won't be mad about it."
In the end, Haas stopped dwelling on it. He was just a little worried that Jerry would be a little uncomfortable going to college at this age and maybe even being accepted to a college that wasn't even in New York.
But after thinking about it carefully all these years, it seems that Jerry is taking care of him and his sister most of the time. So his worries may really be superfluous.
"When you do get accepted to a prestigious university, I'll go to the police station and talk about it. I wanted to make the chief a bit jealous about you." Haas lay back down again.
"What are you guys talking about?" At this time, Belle came out of the kitchen with some curiosity.
"Jerry is going to apply for college in February and has already gotten the documents and letters of recommendation from the school teachers and principal." Haas shook his head and told Belle the news.
Belle was surprised by it, and a smile appeared on her face as well.
Just as Haas and Belle were discussing which college was better and more suitable for Jerry, the doorbell suddenly rang. Hearing the doorbell ring, both Hass and Belle froze for a moment.
It was Christmas, and no one should be visiting at this time. Haas didn't have any relatives on his side; on Belle's side, her family had visited two days before.
"I'll go check it out." Belle got up from the sofa and went to the door.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Opening the door, Belle saw two strangers wearing suits.
"Hello, Ms. Belle. We are teachers from the university's admissions office and would like to talk to you and your son, Jerry Carmen." The woman, who was probably close to forty or so, came forward and politely introduced herself to Belle.
"The university admissions office?"
Belle had a surprised look on her face. She was discussing with Haas which college Jerry should choose, and here was a college teacher taking the initiative to come to her door for his college acceptance.
"Oh, please come in!" Although a little surprised, Belle still very politely invited the two into the house.
"Excuse me, from which college are you guys from?"
Haas, Belle, and Jerry sat in a row, while two people from the S.H.I.E.L.D. were opposite. Academy admissions office.
The two looked at each other the same way, then smiled and said back, "You may not have heard the name of our college, but our college is currently the best university in the world. Only a very small number of geniuses are admitted each year. The admission criteria is an IQ of not less than 120."
As S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives, they have a very skilled response plan for this current situation. They did not say the name of the college first, but first said the conditions of entering the college.
Hearing that the conditions were so high, Haas and Belle looked at each other. The IQ of a normal person is about 100, a 110 IQ could be considered outstanding. IQs higher than 120 are very rare to find.
"Given Mr. Carmen's age and various performances. We have reason to believe that he has an IQ of at least 140 or higher, so we wanted to invite him to our university."
After the female agent finished speaking, the male agent took out three pieces of paper and then said, without waiting for them to ask, "Because our college belongs to the government's secret college and is not open to the public. If you want to know more about it, you have to sign this NDA before we can continue."
"If, in the end, Mr. Carmen refuses our offer, according to the agreement, the three of you can not disclose information about our university."
Haas and Belle turned their heads together to look at Jerry.
Jerry's eyes narrowed, and he smiled as he said to them, "I'll sign it. I also want to know what kind of college it is. If it's really good, I will seriously consider it."
Haas and Belle nodded and signed the NDA with a pen, and Jerry signed it. Seeing that all three signed smoothly, They took out the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy information to the three.
There are the main points.
One is that S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy has the best faculty. Their lecturers are world-famous professors who have the best and most advanced research equipment. It is the most desired university for every genius who dreams of becoming big.
The second is that S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D., the most powerful organization in the world.
Three is the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy will handle all the food and housing learning costs. He will also get pocket money each month, and he can get a job in the governmental sector when he graduates.
In addition to these three points, there are various benefits.
These two agents are good at playing psychological tricks in convincing Haas and Belle that they would be interested in signing Jerry to that college.
Of course, Jerry is certainly unaffected. Because when he knew that the two people were from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy and S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is where they train agents for S.H.I.E.L.D. His first reaction is that S.H.I.E.L.D. has already found his true identity.
So, throughout the conversation, he was silently using Legillimency, reading the activities of the two agents' minds to see if there would be information about knowing that he was the Wizard.
However, he did not get the result he wanted.
Chapter 295 "Unusual Behavior"
The brain activity of these two agents the whole time was how to tell this family so that Jerry, a genius at the age of thirteen, could be enrolled in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. It was as if they really didn't know that Jerry was the Wizard but just thought he was a genius that could be trained.
"Could it be that I was overly concerned?"
"Jerry, what do you think?" At this time, the two of them turned their heads to look at Jerry and asked.
Although the two have been very satisfied with this S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy profile, but they feel that the final decision has to be decided by Jerry.
"I still want to think about it. After all, I previously wanted to go to New York University because it's close to home." Jerry smiled back.
What would he do if he were to be recruited as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent? He is not going to make a fortune from this. He needed a place for him to learn the basics of biology so that he could start his research on his wizard bloodline.
As for the high-end lecturer, he felt that Dr. Banner and Hansen are way better than those lecturers at that university. As for cutting-edge research equipment, it does indeed going to be a bit costly, and they could provide such technology if he needs something.
However, he still has to figure out that this S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy agents really think that he is a genius that was a potential recruit to the Academy, or is it because S.H.I.E.L.D. has known his true identity? That's why he said to think about it.
"No problem. Tomorrow we will come over again. If you decide, we will give you the admission letter directly." The two agents didn't expect that after they had taken care of the most difficult part with the parents, they would end up running into a slight obstacle with the child.
But it doesn't matter, and this is just a small problem. Because they believed that after they left, the parents had already been convinced, it would definitely have some influence on the child, thus helping him to make the right decision.
"Mr. Carmen, S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is an amazing place, and you are really perfect for it. Hopefully, we can hand you the acceptance letter when we come over tomorrow." Before leaving, that female agent spoke to Jerry again.
"Is he really only thirteen years old? He doesn't look like one?" In the car at the entrance of the villa, the male agent inserted the key to start the car and said with some surprise.
Looking at the photo on the document is clear, but after seeing the real person, he really feels that Jerry does not look like a typical thirteen-year-old. Height is not the problem, some people are born to grow faster, but the way he talks and acts doesn't reflect a thirteen-year-old.
"Well, geniuses always built different, and his profile is pretty outstanding. He takes up all kinds of household chores, and it is understandable that he acts that way." The female agent fastened her seat belt and smiled back.
"I guess you're true."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy has a lot of geniuses, and geniuses are always out of the norm. It was hard for them to understand if they were not geniuses.
The two S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy agents like them are not intellectual geniuses but have a relatively high emotional quotient and are best at psychological play.
"Hey, I have something that I want to ask!"
Just as the car was about to start, a familiar voice suddenly came from the back seat. The two turned around, looked at him, and were immediately shocked to know Jerry was inside the car.
"Mr. Carmen, when did you get in the car?"
"I'm sorry, Imperio!"
Jerry did not answer, but both of his hands reached out at the same time and used the Imperius Curse on them. He could only read the brain activity at the time, but not the deeper memories. So just in case, he thought it would be safer to use the Imperius Curse to confirm his suspicion.
Two minutes later, watching them who had been recovered after casting the Forgetfulness Curse and False Memory Charm. Jerry could not help but murmur, "Huh, they really don't know anything at all."
After using the Imperius Curse, he discovered that the two agents, who had gone through the normal procedure, had found him like any other genius. Various assessments determined that he met the criteria before they came over on purpose to enroll him.
It is not known that he is the Wizard, nor is it because of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s order to deliberately enroll him. In other words, S.H.I.E.L.D. does not know his true identity yet, and he has not been exposed.
However, for some reason, his intuition was telling him that there seemed to be something not quite right. After careful consideration, he could not find the flaw in it.
Just when he thought he was being paranoid and ready to give up, he suddenly had a flash in mind and slapped the back of his head and laughed, "I really came into a dead end. If I want to know whether or not they already knew my identity, I need to find Fury."
If S.H.I.E.L.D. really knows his identity, then Fury is probably the person who knows it first. He could go directly to Fury to find out that information.
At this time, Fury is afraid that Jerry is going to do something so vigilant. Because of that moment, he was invited to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, Jerry would suspect something about his true identity had been revealed.
Rather than actually finding out through people like them, why not just directly from the source itself?
If he goes to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy side for investigation, he believes that he couldn't get any information regarding the relevant information.
In addition to him, Coulson, Hill, and Barton, as well as several agents who had a higher security clearance, are aware of the identity of the wizard. In comparison, other normal agents are not. This is a way to limit any leakage of highly confidential information.
Fury knows that Jerry can do a lot of magic and is able to erase the memories of others with magic. But they do not know how much magic he has in his sleeve, making it dangerous for them. The lack of intelligence makes them can't fully anticipate the current situation.
"Dad, a classmate asked me for something. I'm going out for a while." Back at the villa, Jerry greeted Haas before leaving the villa again.
Chapter 296 "Infiltrating"
After leaving the villa, Jerry cast himself a Disillusionment Charm, followed by taking out the magic mirror. All the people he gave the magic mirror do not know one thing. That is, even without the magic mirror connection, Jerry can locate the position of the people that has the magic mirror.
In other words, he can instantly move to any person holding his magic mirror at any time.
"Huh, cheeky." He found out that Fury did not carry the magic mirror with him but put it in a closed room box.
Fury must have known through Natasha that Jerry could teleport over when the magic mirror was connected, so he purposely did not bring the magic mirror with him but put it in a fixed, closed place. Perhaps he does not know that Jerry can locate him without the magic mirror connection but still does it as a precaution.
As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., with countless secrets hidden in his head, how can he tolerate someone who can appear in front of him at any time?
"Alohomora!"
Using this spell could help Jerry open a door that was locked with a fingerprint or iris scanner for verification. No matter what they have, the Unlocking Charm can open it as long as it is a lock unless it is sealed with other magic.
Carefully pushed open the door and walked out. He was eavesdropping on a few agents that were in the room. Fury was now located in Washington, D.C., on Theodore Roosevelt Island, which is also the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. This will be the first time he is coming to that base.
"Let's find out where Nick Fury is." Jerry took out an owl, cast a Disillusionment Charm on it, and then wrote a letter to Fury and had the owl deliver it.
He followed the owl, opening various doors with the Unlocking Charm and using the Full Body Binding Charm to disable all monitoring or alarm devices that monitor the door.
Not a moment later, he arrived at a door that said S.H.I.E.L.D. Director's office. Putting away the owl, Jerry knew that Fury should be close.
"How did the plan go?" Fury asked Coulson.
"I have sent someone over but just got word that there was no success. He said he'll think about it and give an answer tomorrow. Director, do you think he knows already?" Coulson's face showed a trace of concern.
"It should not be possible. But with his character, suspicion is certainly there. But this should not be much of a problem. He can't find out anything over at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy."
Fury suddenly frowned, "Did you come in here without closing the door?"
"What? What do you mean?" Coulson was a little surprised to look at the door and found the office door was revealing a gap.
"Could there be a problem with the door lock?"
"Maybe. Anyways, it is a miracle that you were able to come back from the dead this time. Remember to go to the medical ward every once in a while for a checkup to prevent leaving any after-effects." Fury got up and went to close the door tightly.
"I think I'm fine now, fine in every aspect. When can I be active again? I feel like I'm rotting if I don't do anything significant." Coulson shrugged.
Since he came back from the dead and returned from his vacation, Fury has not been able to give him tasks and often orders him to do some physical examinations. So far, the only assignment given to him is to notify S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy recruits Jerry.
"No need to rush Coulson. This time I am going to give you something big, and I think you're going to love it." Fury gave him a smile, opened the office projector, and then a large aircraft appeared in front of Coulson.
Coulson saw the aircraft on the projector and said with some confusion, "Isn't this the 'bus'?"
The "bus" is a S.H.I.E.L.D. project in the eighties and nineties that spent four or five hundred million dollars to create the air command base, but when the air carrier was created, it was abandoned in the warehouse.
"Yes, I had it refurbished some time ago, and it will be your exclusive air combat base. I will have Hill prepare a list of agents for you. With that, you can select the right ones from them according to your needs and then set up a team that belongs to you. In the future, to carry out missions specifically for special events." Fury explained.
After hearing this, Coulson first froze and then revealed a wildly happy look. A separate air combat base, but also giving him a special team. This is the kind of thing that everyone really wants to have when working in this field.
Fury decided to reward him a little because he was dead of the last invasion despite contributing so much stuff to it.
"Thank you, Director. I will definitely lead the team to complete all the tasks given later."
"Coulson, I've always trusted your ability. Now go find Hill." Fury waved his hand, signaling that Coulson could leave to do his own thing.
When Coulson left, he immediately began to pull up the surveillance to check the situation just in front of his office.
"Strange, is it really me being paranoid?" In the surveillance room, Coulson closed the door after entering, but not long after, the lock suddenly popped open.
"This is Nick Fury, have someone from the tech department come over and have the door to be fixed." After checking the surveillance, Fury then picked up the phone on his desk to call over someone.
Just across the room from him, Jerry had been floating invisibly in the air, watching him. Jerry had just opened the door with the Unlocking Charm and then used the Disillusionment Charm to immediately move directly into the office.
He used the Unlocking Charm to open the door, walked inside the room, and secretly eavesdropped the whole conversation between the two.
Chapter 297 "Jerry's Decision"
In this way, it is difficult to find any trace of him. At most, they will probably think that the door had some technical problems. He used magic to unlock the door lock; upon inspection, they will think it has some problems.
This was done because Jerry had anticipated that Fury is going to take some extra steps for security.
"Coulson did not die? No wonder they knew my identity."
When Jerry entered the room and saw Coulson, he immediately understood that the probability of his true identity had been exposed. Based on the conversation between the two, it seemed that way. The human brain is unique. The Forgetfulness Charm could not completely remove a memory. At best, it could only seal it.
When subjected to strong stimulation, this seal will most likely be broken, thus allowing the spell to fail. When watching the video at the time, Coulson was indeed killed by Ebony Maw. Since Nick Fury saved it with some advanced technology, the spell must have failed.
"Should I just give him a spell?" Looking at the Fury in front of him, Jerry fell into deep thought.
Fury, who was leaning back in his chair at the moment with his eyes closed, suddenly shivered, "Did I catch a cold?"
After thinking about it, he decided it was better to rest in the lounge. The negotiations between him and the World Security Council made him exhausted.
"Ah, forget it."
He wanted his identity to be kept secret. But the only way to do it, probably right now, is to kill the people that know it. Since relying on the spell would not be effective anymore in ensuring that his identity would not be exposed.
Because people who knew about his identity were probably higher-level agents that had gone through rigorous training, so using the spell against these agents would not completely remove the threat.
Since Nick Fury already knows, that means that there's a record of the Wizard's personal information. There is no telling how many people have read the file about him.
It's too much for him to handle.
Jerry shook his head and Apparated from the spot. If it was before, he might do something rather than hide for as long as possible.
But given his circumstance, it would be bad to make a move now. Although his protection measures for his family have been improved, if someone is really stupid enough to plan to hold his family against him, it will definitely be a bit of trouble.
Now he knows for a fact that they already knew his identity. There's a positive side to this. If they knew that his family was in danger and somehow magically survived because of some unexplainable things, it must be because of the Wizard's act, like Haas' Car and Aisha's Magic Book.
Also, he knew that Fury was trying to trick Jerry by recruiting him. Jerry knew this now, but Fury didn't know that Jerry had already found out about it.
Thus, all he has to do right now is prepare everything by himself.
The next morning, the two agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy paid another visit. What surprised them was that Jerry decisively refused today because the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy was in Washington, D.C., and it was too far from his home.
Jerry's parents obviously respect Jerry's answer. They are always supportive of Jerry's choice. In this way, they finally had to give up.
"New York University is in the local area. You can often come back when you have time." When the two agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy left, and Haas could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is indeed very good. After the graduation package assignment, wages and benefits in all aspects are very good. But in Haas' opinion, New York University is also very good. Because Haas also wanted to get close to his son from time to time.
Since Jerry ended up choosing NYU, they fully supported it.
After lunch, Jerry was about to continue reading when the magic mirror at his waist sent out a signal again.
"Huh, Thor wants to see me." Seeing that Thor, who had not contacted him for some time, suddenly looked for him, Jerry also showed a surprised look.
He went back to his room to open the mirror. Jerry saw a somewhat drunk Thor in the mirror.
"Jerry, are you free to come over and drink with me?"
"Sure!"
As the son of Odin and the future king of Asgard, Jerry felt that he could still spare a little time to spare some time with him. Apart from his intelligence, Thor had quite a few good characteristics and was very suitable as a friend.
Jerry believes that if he really clashes with S.H.I.E.L.D., Thor is definitely on his side, while the others are not guaranteed that they'll do.
In Manhattan, Thor had drunk a lot of beer. Passerby will take out a cell phone to him to take a picture, or a child may come forward to ask for an autograph.
After the battle of New York, Thor has been famous. He no longer lives in secret, and when he is bored, he often walks around the area, and everyone is used to it.
Jerry's figure appeared next to Thor's.
"What happened? A bit unusual than your typical appearance." After Jerry came to Thor through the mirror, he smiled, patted his shoulder, and sat opposite him.
Most of the time, Thor is quite happy and especially likes to show their hormones. But now he looks different.
Thor handed Jerry a beer, "Jane and I fought. I will soon return to Asgard for a while. If you want to go to Asgard, I may not be able to bring you. But if you want to go there, you can directly call out Heimdall. I'll tell him later, and he'll open the bridge to pick you up."
Chapter 298 "Project Insight"
"Let's go somewhere else."
Jerry just sat down and found a bunch of people excitedly running toward him with their phones. He immediately grabbed Thor, Apparated, and came to the roof of a building.
Thor was not surprised, knowing that he could do any magic. When Jerry appeared next to Thor, a large number of fans immediately rushed over, but they instantly disappeared from the place.
"You and Jane's relationship is not going well. What happened?"
On the roof of the building, Jerry took a sip of beer curiously.
Thor sighed, "Big and small things, like behavior, habits, cultural differences, etc. I had thought they were not problems, but they turned out to be a big problem."
"It's normal for those kinds of differences in life, especially since you are originally from another world, so that stuff is inevitable. No need to be sad for it." Jerry heard Thor's words. He could not help but smile and comfort him.
Jerry did not have much experience in love, but in his previous life, he watched a lot of dramas.
Thor and Jane are originally from two different worlds, the gap between their views and behaviors can be much larger than people from different countries together, and it is normal to have disputes.
"We have been together for a period of time. Why does she suddenly act like a different person? All of a sudden, very weird to me. She left New York to go to London, saying she would do an academic exchange there. I know she is avoiding me, so I also intend to return to Asgard to take a break." Thor gurgled and poured all the beer into his stomach.
"Are you sure it was a sudden change in attitude?" Jerry raised his eyebrows for a moment.
It is reasonable to say that if there are some conflicts and it is impossible to have a sudden big change in attitude unless one encounters a special situation like an affair, for example.
However, Jerry felt that it should be unlikely. After all, Jane is a typical busy person, and Thor, although not very smart, still respects women, in general, to avoid upsetting them, like Jane, for example.
"Yes, it was the day I talked to her about my age. Her attitude changed. Could it be that she dislikes my age too much?" Thor couldn't help but wonder.
"I don't think that's the main reason, but it definitely has something to do with your age."
Jerry felt that it was unlikely that Jane disliked Thor's age too much. The most likely thing was that maybe Jane suddenly realized that Thor could live for a long time while she only had a hundred years.
Perhaps she can't accept that she will be an old lady after a few decades, and Thor is still a young man. However, this is just speculation. Jerry did not say this is a small problem unless Jane was able to obtain immortality.
He has no way to integrate people's life-long age for the time being. He also wants to let Haas, Aisha, and other people have their own ability to live forever, but they do not have the qualifications to practice meditation.
The next time he goes to the world of Harry Potter, he can get his hands on the Sorcerer's Stone. Though, it's more of a medicine or some sort that prolongs someone's life rather than giving full immortality.
Perhaps, when he goes to other worlds, he will be able to find what can be a way to live forever without any side effects.
"Don't think about it too much. It's also been a long time since I saw King Odin, Queen Frigga, Heimdall, and the others. I'll maybe pay a visit."
Slamming the beer on the roof of the building, Thor asked Jerry, "Do you want to come with me?"
"Not now. I have school tomorrow." Jerry spread his hands.
He has mastered almost all of Asgard's magic system. He still wanted an in-depth analysis with the Queen of Heaven Frigga.
"Alright then, Heimdall!" Thor raised his hammer towards the sky and shouted, and a rainbow immediately picked him up.
"Heimdall is indeed something." Jerry could not help but let out a burst of emotion when he saw this.
Heimdall was born with a pair of eyes that can see anywhere in the Nine Realms. As long as he wants, anyone in any corner of the Nine Realms can be seen by him.
Washington D.C., S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
Forty floors away from the director's office in another large office, an old man in a suit, age looks at least sixty years old, is saying something desperately to several figures on the projected image.
"Everyone, I think the "Project Insight" proposed by Director Fury can indeed greatly eliminate possible threats, just like the last time the terrorist group made a lot of problems. If they hadn't started their terrorist operation after the project had been implemented, they would have been shot by our prototype without the need for the Wizard and Iron Man to do anything."
"Sir, this Project Insight you are talking about is too controversial. We need to think about it."
The virtual images of several members disappeared into thin air.
The old man known as the minister walked out of the meeting matter with a smile and shook hands with Fury, who had been waiting outside.
"Don't worry. I'll find a way to convince them later."
"Thank you, sir." Fury smiled.
The old man in front of him, named Alexander Pierce, is the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now is the minister of the World Security Council, and also the existence the department that strongly pushed him to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. back then.
Because of this former S.H.I.E.L.D. director in the World Security Council constantly around, S.H.I.E.L.D now has so much development with the appropriate funding. Fury is really grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, just remember to visit me often." Pierce smiled and patted Fury's shoulder.
Only after Fury left, Pierce returned to his seat and took out a layer of information from the drawer on the table, and the name on this information is "Jerry Carmen."
Chapter 299 "Going To Greece"
Two days later, in New York, one in the morning.
A black van quietly arrived outside at a villa entrance. Inside the van were six men who were heavily armed.
"Remember, the target of this mission is a family of three inside. Try not to hurt them, just use a tranquilizer gun to knock and quietly take them away." The man at the head of the group ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The remaining five men responded in unison.
They are the elite of the elite, and they have carried out countless dangerous missions. Taking out this family of three is an easy task.
"Do not be careless, once the mission is completed, evacuate immediately."
The leading officer is not as calm as his five men because he knows that although the three people in this are ordinary people, they have a family member who is so powerful that he should be feared; it's the Wizard.
The Wizard is not at home right now, but there is no guarantee that if they are slow, he will notice something and come over instantaneously.
In the next villa to them.
Jerry opened the panel and tapped the button to travel to the world of Harry Potter. The cooldown had long ended, and he was about to head to the world of Harry Potter.
Throughout his sister's effort, as well as the results of his last time dealing with Killian and other soldiers. The number of red stars exceeded 200,000, enough for him to stay for a while.
The time froze, Jerry had once again returned to the Leaky Cauldron.
June 15th, 1992.
Seeing that the time was the same as when he left, and Voldemort's diary was still on the table, he knew that time in the world didn't change. The following day, Jerry received exit approval from the Ministry of Magic, as well as an entry permit from the Greek Ministry of Magic.
Normal wizards who want to leave their country by regular means need permission from their own country's Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Magic of the country they will be entering. Usually, at his age, Jerry would need his parent's approval to get this kind of permit.
Before the vacation, Jerry sought Snape's help, and the reason is also very simple. Because they have to write an essay about the history of magic, many young wizards choose to travel abroad this summer, just like Hermione planned to go to France.
Jerry wanted to write the content of the history of magic essay about Greek magic, so he had to apply for a trip to Greece.
However, it is easy for him to get an approval right away. He is not just a young wizard about to be a third year at Hogwarts but also a national Quidditch star player who is now a household name in the British wizarding community.
Why did he choose Greece? Because Albania was next to it.
Why not go directly to Albania instead of Greece? Because Dumbledore knows that the soul of Voldemort is hiding in the forest of Albania. Voldemort was in Albania for a long time, if Jerry directly chose to go to Albania, it would be a bit suspicious.
Voldemort told him to go to Albania about the treasure he mentioned before. But Jerry knew Voldemort was trying to lure him into a trap. He probably wants to seek a way to take his body or wants him to help to get a new body.
Jerry agreed with Voldemort to go to Albania, not to help him. He thinks that with his current strength, he can directly find the main soul of Voldemort and deal with him later.
Also, it's a good idea to travel to Greece now. In the history of magic, there are a lot of things that happened in magic, especially notable wizards throughout history.
The invincible Andros, who has the same Patronus as Jerry, the first recorded magical animal breeder, and Hagrid's three-headed dog, was also sold to him by a Greek wizard.
At the same time, there are also many dangerous, powerful, and mysterious magical animals. Seal Voldemort is really just a side thing for him. Jerry's real purpose is to understand ancient Greek magic, find various powerful magical animals, and then improve his own magic.
"Mr. Carmen, are you really checking out?" Tom heard that Jerry had checked out after only one day, and his face showed a regretful expression.
This is the first time in a long time someone checked in to his inn, and he had hoped that Jerry could bring him a lot of revenue.
"I'm going on a trip to Greece, so yeah." Jerry smiled and shrugged.
"Oh, Greece? You should try to visit Mykonos, it's a famous tourist spot. A very beautiful island, but just a little dangerous. I remember that a famous Welsh Quidditch player, I think his name was Dai Llewellyn, was eaten by a Chimaera during his vacation there." Tom recalled.
"Ehh..." The corners of Jerry's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Ignoring Tom, Jerry went to the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and shouted, "Ministry of Magic."
He certainly will not choose to take a plane which is going to be time-consuming and laborious, just to go to Greece.
Since there is official approval from the Ministry of Magic, he can directly use the Ministry of Magic Portkey and appear directly in Greece's Ministry of Magic.
Walking out of the glorious fireplace of the Ministry of Magic and through the hall full of wizards. He took the elevator to the seventh floor of the Magic Sports Division to visit his coach and teammates.
Although he only appeared during the game, since he had come to the Ministry of Magic, it would not be right not to pay a visit. After visiting his coach and teammates, he went to the Magic Traffic Division office on the sixth floor.
"Mr. Greengrass, this is the permission visa to the Ministry of Magic in Greece." Jerry politely handed the visa sent by the Ministry of Magic yesterday to the man in front of him.
Mr. Greengrass took the visa, scanned it, and then looked Jerry up and down with some look, "The last time I saw you was small, and now you have become an adult. Come visit our house sometimes or when you're back from Greece, Daphne always talks about you at home."
"I'll think about it, Mr. Greengrass." Jerry was a bit embarrassed.
Mr. Greengrass also did not have much to say to him; from a pile of door keys, he took out the Portkey to Greece's Ministry of Magic.
Chapter 300 "Greek Ministry of Magic"
The capital of Greece, the Ministry of Magic in Athens.
"Welcome to Athens!"
The scene in Jerry's eyes had changed dramatically, he disappeared from a room constructed of brick walls and wooden floors and then landed in a columnar room constructed entirely of marble.
"Thanks!" Looking at the young Greek witch in front of him, who was wearing a completely different style of the robe from London, Jerry nodded politely.
Because he was coming to Greece to travel, he spent some time in advance learning the Greek language. Although it is not perfect but it's decent for normal communication.
He needed to use some red stars in order to learn Greek proficiently, unlike Dumbledore, not only proficient in the language of each country but also proficient in the language of each different magic race. He really is a genius.
The Greek wizard's robe is different from the London wizard's robe, which is a half-shoulderless Clematis short cape-type jacket, it looks like a typical Greek mythological robe worn by Greek Gods.
"Please go out, turn to your right, and go down to the third-floor hall for confirmation." Under the witch's enthusiastic guidance, Jerry left the Portkey office and came to a marble staircase that was spinning continuously.
The entire Greek Ministry of Magic did not look as big as the British Ministry of Magic or the French Ministry of Magic, and there were only five floors in total. Perhaps the number of Greek wizards today is the main reason.
Its architectural style is more on the Greek mythology architectural style. Almost all are composed of white marble, there are many carved with a variety of magical animals on the large pillars.
The floors inside the Ministry of Magic in Greece are not the kind of fixed up-and-down magic elevator used in London, but similar to the kind of escalators in shopping malls. But it uses magic that is composed of marble stairs flowing between each floor.
Jerry is now in the Portkey office on the fourth floor, so he only has to go down one floor. It may be summer vacation, and more people are visiting Greece. When Jerry arrived at the lobby registration desk, a dozen people were in line.
Looking at their clothing, there seemed to be wizards from every country.
After registering in the hall and being informed of a few rules for wizards that he had to follow in Athens, Jerry followed the guide and left the Greek Ministry of Magic. Before leaving, he bought a pair of maps about the whole of Greece from some Greek wizard who was selling maps in the hall.
It was not an ordinary map. It was a magical map with special places known only to wizards. Just like now, when he came out of the Ministry of Magic, he wanted to find a hotel to stay and stroll around the streets of Greece, he had to use this map.
His plan is to stroll around Greece, understand the magic here, wedge about some of the characteristics of the magical animals here, and then go to Albania to find the main soul of Voldemort.
As for the fate of his diary, he didn't care much and would just leave it alone. Voldemort's diary is only from when Voldemort was in the sixth grade, the soul sealed inside is also the sixth-grade Voldemort.
At that time, Voldemort mastered a lot of dark magic, and his strength was very good. But he could not have been stronger compared to the current Voldemort.
So, the remaining value of Voldemort's diary is only to help him find Voldemort's remaining soul. The moment he finds Voldemort's soul, he will seal it in a matryoshka doll.
"I did not expect that this place is a really good place to travel, even in the wizarding world."
Walking in the streets of Athens, looking at the ancient characteristics of the city of Athens, Jerry felt that even if he did not come over to study magic and just travel, it's a place that's worth visiting.
He just followed the instructions of the icons on the magic map while enjoying the scenery and walking towards the street.
Unlike many cities with modern high-rise buildings, in this city, you can see more of the many historical ancient Greek buildings that are scattered in all directions of the city. If you are a wizard, then you can also find many traces of magic left behind from these buildings.
Walking and looking around, Jerry soon followed the map to the center of Athens. The highest point of the city is the Acropolis of Athens. Although it is now in ruins, it is recorded as the highest Greek civilization architecture.
That's why countless Muggles come here for tourism every year. The Greek magic street is also hidden underneath the Acropolis, or rather hidden in the Acropolis Hill.
Hundreds of tourists flocked to the Acropolis junction to buy tickets. According to the instructions on the magic map, Jerry walked to a path and came to a clear pond under the mountain. Jerry can obviously feel that the pond is releasing some Muggle Repelling Spell.
On the left and right side of the pond, near the mountain, stood two spartan warriors carved in marble, more than three meters tall. According to the instructions on the magic map, Jerry needs to input a wave of magic power into the pond's water.
Stimulated by the magic, the two Spartan warriors who originally stood still woke up. They stretched out their arms, opened a tunnel, and a crack inside it was revealed.
This is the entrance to the Greek magic street. Jerry did not hesitate and immediately stepped into the tunnel.
When Jerry disappeared in the tunnel, the mountain and the pond again returned to their original state, and the two Spartan stone sculptures closed their eyes.
