A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 34 Shadow
"Get out of the way, Frank, step behind me!" Levi said.

"Be careful!" Frank hesitated for a moment, but still followed orders and stepped behind Levi.

"I understand your desire not to be mere tools, and I can give you a chance!" Li Wei said, facing the expectant gazes of the Winter Soldiers, "but not now!"

Before the Winter Soldiers could react, his words had barely faded.

A cold front swept towards them.

The six people were frozen in place.

Frost Nova.

The signature skill of a mage in World of Warcraft.

Impacts all surrounding enemies, dealing frost damage and freezing them in place for 8 seconds.

Most importantly, in reality, although this spell doesn't have the ability to distinguish between friend and foe like it does in the game, it can be targeted!
That's why Li Wei was able to freeze only the Winter Soldier in front of him without affecting Franky behind him.

Of course, Li Wei was able to cast this spell only after equipping the Frost Nova glyph.

Although he has been granted permission by the Ancient One to learn Kamar-Taj magic, he is currently just an apprentice and has not yet learned anything except how to open doors with a slingshot.

Furthermore, the magic in the Marvel Universe is completely different from the magic in Azeroth. Even if you learn the magic of Kamar-Taj, you may not be able to learn the magic of Azeroth.

"Recite the command!" After freezing the eight people with Frost Star, Levi immediately said to Frank.

"желание (desire) ржавчина (rust) семнадцать (seventeen) рассвет (dawn) печь (furnace) девять (nine) доброта (kindness) домой (go home) один (one) грузовик (truck)" Faced with Levi's command, Frank did not hesitate and immediately recited the start command.

Several Winter Soldiers tried to struggle.

But it didn't work.

So what if he's a super soldier?
Could he possibly be stronger than the warriors of Azeroth?
They could only obediently remain frozen until the spell ended.

As Frank finished reading, the six Winter Soldiers instantly reverted to being like mechanical tools.

“From now on, repeat the instructions to them every now and then. I don’t want to see them regain their cognitive abilities. I’ll have Tony’s team make cryogenic hibernation pods similar to Hydra’s as soon as possible. Oh, and I’ll take Bucky with me!” Levi said.

If you're dealing with tools, you should be aware of their importance.

Even if it's just about Pakistan, you could say it was forced upon them.

But the remaining few, before becoming Winter Soldier, were already ruthless killers.

Li Wei must be out of his mind to try and negotiate terms and treatment with them!
“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on them!” Frank nodded.

"As for security, I'll think of another way," Li Wei said. Actually, the building already has its own security system, but its performance is only so-so. In the future, we could try to make some engineering alarm robots.

Just thinking about the "alarm, alarm" sound from the dwarf alarm robot in the game makes Levi shudder.

After finishing his sentence, Levi called Tony. The incident that had startled Pepper that morning served as a reminder to Levi that it was better to call ahead before opening the door unless absolutely necessary.

It's one thing for ordinary people, but if you ever meet Dr. Banner, it wouldn't be so fun to open a door and scare him into transforming.

When the call connected, Tony told Levi that he was on a plane back to Los Angeles, preparing to take over a house in Malibu—making phone calls on airplanes is prohibited in many countries' airlines because it could interfere with the aircraft's communications.

However, this is clearly not a problem for the owners of private jets.

Therefore, Levi's focus is on the house that Tony mentioned.

Malibu?
The cliffside villa that was the main setting for the Iron Man movie series and was ultimately destroyed in Iron Man 3?
Was it only recently completed?

No wonder the information Li Wei found about Tony Stark online didn't mention that he lived in Los Angeles.

The Iron Man series is primarily set in Los Angeles. It turns out that Tony Stark hadn't moved into that villa yet at this point.

“Let me know when you arrive, and I’ll bring Bucky over to you,” Levi said.

Although theoretically opening a portal inside an airplane shouldn't be a big problem, Li Wei felt that such an attempt was unnecessary.

However, if you have the chance, you can still hitch a ride on their private jet.

After all, dancing in a private jet was something Levi had never tried in his two lifetimes combined—the scene in the first Iron Man movie where Tony and Rhodey were dancing with flight attendants on a private jet was still quite memorable.

“You’re welcome anytime. Oh, and I sent you some information to your email; remember to check it!” Tony said on the phone.

"Okay, see you later then." Li Wei didn't ask any more questions.

"See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Li Wei went to his office in the building, turned on his computer, and began to look at the information Tony had sent him.

Upon closer inspection, the contents turned out to be about Frank's enemy, Rollins.

Li Wei couldn't help but marvel once again at the power of money; he had obtained the information of a high-ranking CIA agent so easily.

He then called Frank over.

"The Winter Soldier has a new mission. There's equipment in the basement. I don't need to say anything else, right?" Levi said to Frank, pointing to the information on the computer.

“Of course!” Frank nodded.

With six Winter Soldiers at his disposal and detailed intelligence, he dared to storm into and out of CIA headquarters seven times over.

If Frank still can't handle Rollins, he thinks he might as well bury himself.

“I think the Winter Soldier can handle this—as for you, I think you should go to the police station and report it!” Li Wei said, looking at him.

Frank was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly realized what Levi meant.

This is to restore his identity and clear his name of suspicion.

If, when the Winter Soldier takes action, he goes to the police station to report a crime, requesting that the police investigate his family's case and stating that he is still alive.

Therefore, no one would suspect him of Rollins' death.

As for Carson and Billy, whom he killed, he cleaned up the mess afterwards, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. might not be able to produce any concrete evidence.

In this way, he will be completely exonerated and can return to a normal life openly and honestly.

But Frank immediately shook his head, rejecting the tempting offer.

“Your serum has already been exposed by S.H.I.E.L.D. If I show myself, both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra behind it will notice me. This is a risk for you, even though you are now cooperating with Stark. So I might as well be like the Winter Soldier and remain a nobody. Anyway, I’m all alone!” Frank said.

"...Are you really sure?" Li Wei was silent for a while before asking.

"It's decided! From now on, I'll be your shadow!" Frank nodded.

"Thank you!" Li Wei nodded; he did indeed need such a shadow.

"I'm the one who should be saying thank you!"

From then on, there were no more punishers in this spacetime.

Only shadows!
