American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 369 I want to know, how many wives will Dad have in the future?

"Did you find him then?"

McBee asked him curiously, "I mean, did this fortune teller help you figure out your father's whereabouts?"

"Do not."

"It seems that her calculations were not very accurate."

Zatanna's expression was a little unnatural. "Anyway, I think we can give it a try."

"I'll go with you tomorrow, Xiaoza."

Peter said to Zatanna, "Let's go visit this fortune teller together."

He had heard of the name of this Lady of Shangdu in his previous life.

Although he is a little weird, as a member of the Dark Justice League led by Diana, he should not be an ordinary charlatan.

After dinner.

Loki went upstairs to his room.

Just as I was about to take a break, Star-Lord knocked on the door.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Loki, are you there?"

"You're in the mood to knock on my door tonight?"

Loki opened the door, "What do you want to talk to me about, Star-Lord, which rock band, or the failure of the new American space experiment to land on the moon?"

"No, it's about Zatanna."

Star-Lord came in and said to him, "I have something about her that I need to talk to you about."

"Zatanna?"

Loki looked at him with a little surprise.

"Dad said you learned magic from her when you were a kid. So, what do you think of your teacher?"

When Loki was having dinner just now, he heard Peter talk about Star-Lord learning magic from Zatanna.

"No, I don't have a problem with Zatanna."

Star-Lord sat down on Loki's bed, pressing it so hard that it shook slightly.

Seeing that his bed might be destroyed by Star-Lord at any time, Loki frowned slightly.

"You should lose weight."

"what?"

"I told you to eat one less burger per meal from now on."

"You think I'm fat?"

Star-Lord looked at him in disbelief, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Is there a problem?"

"Of course, it's strong."

Star-Lord considers his body type to be strong rather than fat.

"Do you know how many rebels and superheroes I fought in Injustice? Killer Frost, Solomon Grandi, I defeated them all."

Star-Lord straightened his chest and said to Loki in a low voice: "I will become fear and eliminate the sins of those people."

Seeing Star-Lord start to imitate Batman's speech again, Loki was stunned for a second.

He didn't want to continue talking about these useless things with the other party.

After all, Star-Lord is a reckless guy.

"Okay, we can talk about whether you're strong or fat some other time, but right now, what do you want to tell me about Zatanna?"

"Actually, I saw a news report before."

Speaking of business, Star-Lord's expression turned serious.

"What news?"

"News about Zatanna's show."

Star-Lord told Loki the latest news he had seen about Zatanna.

Zatanna previously held a magic show in Gotham.

The Gotham Mint provided $10 million as magic props.

As a result, Zatanna made the 10 million disappear during her magic performance.

Although Zatanna later claimed she had no idea what happened, someone was definitely tampering with the show.

But as the direct suspect in the disappearance of 10 million US dollars, Zatanna was still investigated by the police.

Later, because there was no definite evidence, Zatanna was released on bail from the police station.

-

"In other words, it is possible that Zatanna secretly transformed the 10 million?"

After listening to Star-Lord's story, Loki asked with a frown.

"Yes, but only possibly."

Star-Lord shrugged and stood up from Loki's bed. "But I believe Zatanna is not such a person. There must be some misunderstanding."

"That's not necessarily true. People change."

Loki shook his head and said to him, "You don't know, Star-Lord. Dad said that people change. The oaths people make are limited to the passion of the time. Always and forever are just words to cheer them up."

"Should we tell Dad?"

Star-Lord asked him.

"Hold on."

Loki looked out the window, "It won't be too late to tell Dad after we figure out what happened."

The next day.

London, England.

Zatanna used her teleportation magic to open a portal from Padrick's Farm directly to London.

Peter held Raven (Raven strongly requested Peter to bring her to London), Zora, Wonder Woman, and Zatanna came to the streets of London through the portal.

Several people stood on the foggy street, the cold January air biting their cheeks.

The dim street lights cast an eerie yellow over the vague gray of the city.

In the distance, a thin winter mist drifted over the water, covering the damp earth.

"It really deserves to be called the Fog City. We are lucky that we encountered heavy fog right after arriving."

Zora complained to the others, "But the fog here is indeed different from other places. This thing makes me breathless just like the villain in Limehouse."

“If you live in this city for a few years, you get used to it.”

Zatanna said as she led everyone towards where Madame Shangdu was.

Zora expressed no interest in living here, "I don't want to live here, I'd rather live on Peter's farm."

"Thank you. It seems that my farm has a higher status in your heart than London."

Peter said to Zora.

As they were talking, they came to a remote alley. Zatanna led them to an ordinary-looking mansion.

The sign on the door reads "Welcome, don't be afraid."

"She locked the door. I remember that the old ladies in Xanadu wouldn't lock their doors."

Zatanna said as she walked up and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Zatanna, Lady Xanadu."

"Zatanna, you haven't solved your own troubles yet, and you're bringing someone else to ask for help?"

A woman's voice came from the door and asked Zatanna.

Zatanna glanced at Peter awkwardly.

"My business is not important. I am here for something else. I want to ask for your help, Madam Xanadu."

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and a woman with long black hair and strange marks on her head appeared in front of everyone.

"You're like your father, Zatanna, always in trouble but never worried."

After looking at everyone, Mrs. Shangdu let Peter and his group in.

Mrs. Shangdu's room smelled of incense and was decorated in an ancient style.

After taking two steps, she glanced at Peter and asked, "You are Peter Padrick, right?"

"you know me?"

Peter asked her in surprise.

"No, but I have heard about you and your child from some people in the wizarding world."

She looked towards Raven who was in Peter's arms.

"Powerful and evil yet pure, these two incredible forces come together, it's amazing!"

Mrs. Xanadu seemed to be interested in Raven and asked Peter, "Is she your daughter?"

"Yes, her name is Raven."

"Riven."

Lady Xanadu reached out her hand to Raven and gently touched her cheek.

Although Riven was somewhat reluctant, she did not resist in the end because her father needed his help and let him touch her face.

"Can you really tell fortunes?"

After the other person's hands left her face, Riven asked him curiously.

Hearing Riven's words, Lady Xanadu was stunned for a moment.

"of course."

"Is it a family trait?"

"It's a family relationship, but it's a long story."

Madame Xanadu removed her fingers from Raven's face and said, "My grandmother was a witch. When she was a little girl picking cranberries from the swamp, she had incredible abilities. She could always see things that ordinary people couldn't see and feel things that ordinary people couldn't feel."

"However, my grandmother's ability was not innate, but acquired through her observation and learning of the world around her."

Mrs. Xanadu paused and said to the curious Riven, "In our world, natural things, the breath of nature, these beings can always let us see what is about to happen."

"My grandmother taught me that you can predict the weather by crushing cranberries in your palms, and you can tell what birds live in a tree by just placing your hands on the bark, and you can tell where other rabbits are hiding by twisting the neck of a baby rabbit. The world is full of such magic."

"So. Is this magic?"

Raven asked her hesitantly.

"Yes and no, child."

Mrs. Xanadu turned around and walked towards the living room.

“Magic is full of fantastic ideas and teaches us how to make the impossible possible. My grandmother didn’t change anything. She just saw the possibilities and impossibilities.”

"The world has its own strange way of balance. Magic cannot change the entire world. Therefore, as people in the magic world, we should not rely too much on it."

As she spoke, she led Peter and the others to a room that was decorated even more mysteriously.

"Are you right, Raven?"

Faced with Lady Xanadu's question, Riven was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know."

"There is a lot of knowledge you will need to learn in the future, and you don't need to understand it now."

"Sit down."

Mrs. Xanadu asked Peter and others to sit down at a table covered with a tablecloth.

Raven, who was held in Peter's arms, saw that the other party seemed to be really powerful, so she asked her curiously: "Madam, can I ask you a question?"

"of course can."

Madame Xanadu turned around to face Peter and Raven.

"What do you want to ask, kid?"

"I want to know, how many wives will Dad have in the future?"

Peter: "."

Peter was stunned for two seconds, then looked at Raven in his arms in shock.

You little kid, you're already concerned about your dad's lifelong affairs at such a young age?!

Also, is it okay to ask this kind of question in front of so many people?

If you want to ask, of course ask in private.

Peter, with a frown on his face, reached out and pinched Raven's face.

Is there anyone as deceiving as you?

The people present were also stunned by Riven's question.

Wonder Woman had a strange expression, with a curious and inquisitive look in her eyes.

Zatanna was slightly embarrassed.

Zola had the look of a complete spectator.

"Ahem, Riven, your question is wrong. In fact, one wife is enough."

Peter said to the girls against his will.

Mrs. Xanadu was stunned for a moment, then took out a deck of tarot cards, took out a few cards and placed them on the table, and asked Peter to turn over two of them.

Peter hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped forward and flipped open a tarot card.

He was also very curious to know the answer.

What he turned over was a lover's card.

Then he continued to turn it over and found it was a Hanged Man Tarot card.

"Well, things are a little complicated. It's about your wife, Peter Padrick."

Mrs. Xanadu looked at the two cards on the table and said to Peter, “But I can tell you now that there is one of your wives on the scene.”
