American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

So they used the remaining rescue forces to direct rescue helicopters to take themselves and their families to Avengers headquarters for shelter.

Chapter 124 The moral high ground

As Hermione and Wanda walked through the crowd in the hall, they saw many glamorous ladies, some even feeding their pet dogs delicate pastries.

You should know that many of the refugees outside don't even have enough to eat.

The saying "Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste, while on the road, frozen corpses lie" is vividly illustrated here.

However, Hermione didn't care about these Muggles. After using Legilimency to find Nick Fury's office, she took the elevator to the 15th floor.

There were no obstacles along the way, or rather, the arriving agents were all bewitched by the Confusion Charm.

Standing in front of the office door.

Hermione pointed Watombo's wand at the lock and silently chanted, "Open the Alohomora."

With a click, the door lock opened.

Wanda followed Hermione into the minimalist office.

Nick Fury is discussing with General Ross how to deal with the large number of refugees near Avengers headquarters.

Upon hearing the noise, the two turned their heads at the same time.

"Who let you in?" General Ross, who was nearly sixty years old, asked expressionlessly.

Nick Fury immediately recognized these two as the pillars of the Defenders.

"The Flame Witch and the Scarlet Witch?"

"Do you want to join the Avengers?"

Before Hermione could speak, Wanda saw the old man sitting opposite Nick Fury on either side of the desk, dressed in a five-star general's uniform.

Clearly, he was General Ross from the military.

Thinking of this, Wanda, who was holding back her anger, finally couldn't hold back anymore. Without saying a word, she used her telekinesis to grab General Ross and slam him against the French windows.

"boom--"

General Ross smashed the tempered glass floor-to-ceiling window and, amidst desperate screams, fell from the 15th floor, a height of 60 meters.

The most likely consequence is that he'll be smashed into a pulp.

Nick Fury saw his old friend suddenly enveloped in red light and then fly uncontrollably out of the window.

He stood up in shock and anger, pulled out a small pistol, and pointed it at the two women.

"Fuck you! Why did you try to assassinate General Ross?"

After killing General Ross, Wanda was still furious. She glared at Nick Fury and cursed:

"The military generals are all scum. Not only will they do nothing when the apocalypse comes, but they will even lead the way in looting food warehouses!"

"I wouldn't be satisfied even if this kind of trash died ten thousand times!"

Nick Fury knew very well that a small handgun posed little threat to such a superhuman, but he had already secretly informed Dr. Banner at the laboratory.

Now he has to stall for time and wait for the invincible Hulk to come and save him.

So Nick Fury used his linguistic charm to present facts and reason.

"I don't deny that many high-ranking military officials are morally corrupt, but at least General Ross was willing to send soldiers to help refugees. You killed a rare good man..."

Before Nick Fury could finish speaking, Hermione interrupted with a sneer: "Don't think nobody knows about your dirty deeds."

"You want to use refugees to conduct large-scale human experiments to create more Hulks and perfect the Super Hulk serum."

"You also plan to force a thousand refugees to participate in human experiments, which will both advance the experiment and save food reserves, achieving a win-win cooperation, right?"

Nick Fury's expression changed drastically. How did this woman know? Do wizards all have mind-reading abilities?

Hermione spoke up, confirming his guess.

"Don't guess anymore, I really can read minds!"

Upon hearing the other party's direct admission, Nick Fury's face turned ugly, and he was momentarily at a loss for how to handle the situation.

Although the "Hulk Soldier" plan was exposed, he did not regret it. After all, the world was about to end, so many bottom lines could naturally be lowered.

His main concern was that his death would diminish his hope of saving the world.

The atmosphere in the office was heavy.

When Wanda heard that Nick Fury had such dirty secrets, her hands lit up red again, and she thought she might as well send the black-boiled egg to meet God with her.

However, at that moment, a whooshing sound came from outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, carrying the terrified General Ross, flew in through a floor-to-ceiling window with a two-meter-wide hole.

"Nick, did you throw this guy out? Or was it an accident?"

Carol casually tossed the unconscious old man onto the sofa and looked curiously at Wanda and Hermione.

Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that General Ross was still alive; at least there was still a chance to salvage the situation.

He quickly wiped the gloom from his face and put on a friendly smile as he introduced:

“Carol, these two are the Flame Witch and the Scarlet Witch, and they are members of the Defenders League.”

"This is Ms. Carol, who usually travels in space. She came back specifically to help after learning about the incident on Earth."

Hermione looked at Carol with a serious expression. Her keen senses told her that this woman was very strong, at least stronger than herself.

Seeing that General Ross was still alive, Wanda's gradually subsiding anger surged back, and her eyes gleamed red as she said:

"Why did you save this scumbag? This military general actually tried to abuse his power to force refugees to participate in human experiments. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he deserves to die a thousand deaths!"

Carol glanced at Nick Fury in surprise, and seeing that he remained silent, she realized that what the woman opposite her was probably true.

"Nick, you wouldn't have gone along with this comatose general, would you?"

Nick Fury, speechless and pale-faced, said, "Ha...you think I wanted to do this? Do you know how many refugees are gathered outside?"

"At least 300,000!"

"As time goes by, the number of refugees is increasing rapidly, leading to severe shortages of food and daily necessities."

"If I don't lower my standards, do you think the food at headquarters is enough to feed more than 30 people?"

Hermione said coldly, "This is not a reason for you to force refugees to conduct human experiments."

"Right is right and wrong is wrong."

"You're trying to play the victim? If you can't find food, it's your own fault for being useless, not ours?"

Carroll then came to her senses. "Indeed, no matter what the difficulties are, they are not reasons for you to play the victim."

Nick Fury finally tasted endless frustration after being criticized by Hermione from a moral high ground.

He used to stand on moral high ground and criticize others, but now that it's his turn, he finally understands how painful it is.

You can't insult them, and you can't refute them either.

Nick Fury's black poker face turned bright red from holding back his anger before he gradually regained his rhythm in the debate.

"I'll just mention one problem: the headquarters' food reserves are only enough for two days. Without supplies, these refugees will starve to death."

"Many regions are now frequently hit by natural disasters, and there is no way to even purchase food."

"Why don't you become the acting director of the Avengers and find a way to solve the survival problem of 300,000 refugees?"

"If you can do that, then I'll just get out of here, and I'm even willing to go to jail and face the law!"

Blackie has laid his cards on the table. Faced with Hermione, who stands on the moral high ground, only this tactic of feigning weakness can deal with her.

Chapter 125 Nuclear Peace and Coexistence Plan

Hermione, Wanda, and Carol were speechless for a moment when they heard Nick Fury's talk of giving up.

Carole is not a suitable candidate for acting director; she is well aware of her own management abilities.

As for Wanda and Hermione, they have no time to babysit Muggles. The acting director needs to babysit 300,000 refugees, which is obviously a tough job.

An eerie silence fell over the office.

Not wanting to waste time, Hermione broke the silence first and recounted the information about Cybertron.

She emphasized that the more than one hundred energy pillars on the lunar surface were likely an important medium for initiating space teleportation.

Upon hearing this information, a strange ripple was stirred in everyone's hearts.

Nick Fury, who was already in a bad mood, went on to curse.

"Holy crap, this world is insane! They've even developed space teleportation technology to transport an entire planet!"

Wanda stared intently at the unconscious General Ross on the sofa, wanting to seize the opportunity to deliver the final blow and put him to eternal sleep.

Carol shared her speculations about Cybertron and prepared to travel to the moon to dismantle an energy pillar for further study.

At that moment, the office door was forcibly smashed open.

Hulk, transformed into the Hulk, burst in.

"Roar..."

Nick Fury quickly tried to calm him down, saying, "Hulk, don't smash things, calm down..."

But Hulk, enraged, wouldn't listen to Eggman at all. He ran up to Hermione, intending to smash the enemy in front of him with a single punch.

Hermione waved her wand calmly.

"The Upside Down Golden Bell!"

Hulk, who was charging forward with his thick, powerful legs, suddenly stopped, his entire body being lifted upside down by an invisible force.

This familiar scene reminded Hulk of how he had been hung up like this by some despicable man before, and he roared angrily.

The roar nearly deafened everyone else in the office.

But under the power of magic, Hulk was unable to break free from the invisible force binding him.

Hermione achieved her goal and had no interest in fighting the brainless Hulk. She opened a portal and took Wanda away from the Avengers headquarters.
