American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

Chapter 167 Qiu Zhang VS Magneto

Magneto was very unhappy. Pierce only provided the army to cooperate, but didn't mention sending his own superpowered subordinates.

Clearly, Pierce was not optimistic about his elite infiltration plan.

This cunning old codger only wants to stay behind the scenes and watch the show, and doesn't want to take any risks at all.

After all, those few sorcerers posed no conflict of interest to the emperor.

The fate of those corrupt Hydra officials in New York won't affect Hydra's core operations.

On the contrary, Pierce was worried about angering those mages and what if they tried to assassinate him.

Heaven knows whether these elusive and unpredictable sorcerers will succeed.

Pierce wants to rule the world for another 10,000 years; he doesn't want to "die young."

Therefore, he would at most send his army cannon fodder to help, and would not be willing to send his superhumans.

After Magneto understood this, he was very unhappy with Pierce's cowardice.

But he still needs the other party's help.

At least an army of 100,000 men can make some noise, and maybe even launch a feint to the east while attacking the west to support their own plans.

With this in mind, Magneto gave a fake smile, exchanged a few polite words, and then got up to say goodbye to Pierce.

He planned to go back and work with his men to devise the perfect infiltration plan.

After the establishment of the mutant nation, Magneto's dream came true.

Now his daughter Lorna has become the apple of his eye, whom he misses more and more.

We can't let this go on without trying to find our daughter.

As Pierce watched Magneto's departing figure, his frivolous expression gradually turned cold.

Although he is indeed obsessed with women, his mind is not so old that it can't function properly.

After defeating the Avengers, these mutants who had carved out their own territories became a major concern for him.

He was the world president, and sooner or later he would wipe out all these disobedient mutants.

Only in this way can we truly have the opportunity to control the whole world.

In his opinion, were those mysterious mages easy to mess with?

Pierce is now just waiting to see Magneto make a fool of himself.

......

the next day.

A manor house in the northern suburbs of New York.

On the lawn in the front yard of the manor, Hermione and Cho Chang were studying a combo spellbook written by Harvey based on his experience.

The two women were holding magic wands, practicing their skills while reading.

"Micro Fusion Sun!"

An enormous white light source appeared.

But that's it.

Cho Chang was very distressed. Compared to Hermione, who could barely cast the powerful Fusion Sun Charm, her learning progress was very slow.

So far, the fusion sun she has unleashed is at most equivalent to a large flashbang.

Hermione patiently taught Cho Chang how to cast spells more smoothly, sharing all her secrets and explaining a lot of key points about casting combination spells.

However, compared to Hermione, who is so intelligent that she is known as Miss Know-It-All, Cho Chang's comprehension skills are much worse.

Despite being taught step by step for a long time, Qiu Zhang still couldn't grasp the essence of combination magic.

Hermione didn't mind; after all, they were sisters, and she could teach them slowly.

But Qiu Zhang couldn't help but feel sorry for herself. The gap between people made her start to doubt her own intelligence.

Compared to the noisy magic training on the manor lawn, the villa wasn't exactly peaceful either.

Since Wanda bought a bunch of ingredients in the morning and hid in the kitchen to practice her cooking skills.

The villa's chimney was constantly belching black smoke, and strange explosions frequently came from the kitchen.

Fortunately, everyone has gotten used to Wanda's unreliability, so no one bothers with her anymore.

The only one out of place was Lorna in the guest room on the second floor of the villa, who was quietly reading a physics book about magnetohydrodynamics.

Ever since Harvey told her that she needed to read more books on electromagnetic physics to improve her abilities, Lorna has gradually become a top student like Hermione.

As for Harvey, aside from mealtimes and nighttime sleep, he spent almost all his time in the laboratory, trying to fuse the fourth Infinity Stone as soon as possible.

On the spacious open lawn, two witches, whose slender figures could hardly be concealed even in their loose wizard robes.

He held a spellbook in one hand and a magic wand in the other.

Both women practiced magic very seriously.

As they practiced...

Hermione suddenly stopped waving her wand.

Qiu Zhang asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Hermione's expression gradually turned serious as she looked towards the southeast side of the manor. "A large number of Muggles are trying to approach this place."

"And there's a hint of threat about them, so it seems like they're up to no good."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhang was not afraid at all. She was also a little tired of the boring life in the manor. How could an enemy dare to come looking for death?

"Hermione, let me go check! I promise I won't let anyone disturb our peaceful life!"

Hermione narrowed her eyes; she could easily see through Cho Chang's true intentions.

"Sister Qiu, I'm afraid you're looking for some fun, aren't you?"

"You speak with such righteous indignation, no wonder that guy likes you the most. So you're hiding a cunning and scheming junior side?"

Cho Chang felt uneasy under Hermione's ambiguous gaze and awkwardly lowered his head, saying, "No... I was just worried that the enemy would disturb him."

Hermione knew that a certain annoying guy was improving his skills in the lab, and she would be heartbroken if he were disturbed and something went wrong.

So she didn't continue teasing Qiu Zhang, but waved her hand and said:

"Then you go and drive away the enemies outside. I'll watch from behind. If the enemies are too strong, I'll also lend a hand."

After being bored for several months, Qiu Zhang excitedly cast a levitation spell on himself and flew out of the manor.

At this time, the entire manor was surrounded by 100,000 elite troops.

Main battle tanks, wheeled armored vehicles, attack helicopters, fifth-generation fighter jets, and rocket launchers.

A wide variety of heavy weapons came into view.

When Qiu Zhang saw this scene, he frowned and did not want to start a massacre.

Because these ordinary Muggles were most likely forced into it by others, she did not want to harm these innocent people.

One of the officers in the encirclement spotted Qiu Zhang flying in the air through his binoculars and, without saying a word, ordered unlimited fire.

"Bang... Boom... Boom..."

In an instant, the torrent of metal formed by the shells swept toward Qiu Zhang with unstoppable force.

Modern weapons can easily break the speed of sound with their initial projectile velocity, making it difficult for Qiu Zhang to dodge, especially since the manor was right behind him.

She waved her wand, her face solemn, and said, "Peaceful Guardian! Collapse to the ground!"

After casting a wide-range magical barrier to block all attacks, a beam of red light, about the thickness of a thumb, flew out from the tip of the wand and split into 100,000 faint red lines.

They accurately struck the 100,000-strong army surrounding the manor.

When the upgraded Stun Spell hit the enemy, all of them instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that all the enemies in front of her were unconscious, Qiu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. She released two large-scale spells at once, almost exhausting her magic power.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly.

But before she could even show a victorious smile, she saw an old man with white hair at his temples, standing on a piece of iron, fly into the sky and confront her.

Clearly, the final character to appear was Magneto.

Chapter 168 A good beating will make them behave

Magneto flew up to Cho Chang and said in an approachable manner, "Child, please let my daughter Lorna come out and talk. I want to take her home."

Qiu Zhang glanced at the numerous henchmen Magneto had brought below.

Saber-toothed Tiger, Nightwalker, White Queen, Fireman, Red Devil, Master of Illusions, Lorelei, and so on.

She even saw Pietro.

Cho Chang was considering whether to agree to the old man's offer, after all, she knew that Lorna was indeed Magneto's daughter, and Wanda's brother Pietro was also there.

But Magneto seemed impatient and gestured for Master Illusion to take action.

"Mind invasion?"

The Occupy Central technique activated on its own, and Cho Chang regained his senses. He immediately used Peacekeeper to isolate the surrounding area and watched Magneto warily.

"You think you can resort to violence just because you can't reach an agreement? You'll regret it!"

Magneto was completely unfazed by this level of threat and said again expressionlessly:

"Let Lorna out. All I want is to take my daughter home. It's a promise I made as a father!"

Hermione also saw Cho Chang confronting Magneto in the sky, and quickly used the Levitation Charm to fly to her side.

"Magneto, leader of the Brotherhood of Evil, you're not here to fight today, are you?"

Magneto didn't want to repeat what he had just said. He stared straight at Cho Chang, waiting for an answer.

Hermione was enraged by the man's disregard and brandished her wand, intending to teach the rude old man a lesson.
