American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

Harvey, his face serious, explained, "As far as I know, it's a guy named Aldrezi Killian."

"He referred to himself as the Mandarin and launched more than a dozen bombing attacks on the United States during this period."

"Yesterday they even kidnapped the President of the United States, and now the whole world knows about it."

"This guy is using the Mandarin title to pin the blame on you. If you don't do something, people will probably look down on you."

Wenwu agreed with his reasoning.

"Thank you for letting me know, brother. I'll send someone to America to teach this fool a lesson later."

Harvey continued to fan the flames: "Brother, you haven't made a move in years, which has led to all sorts of nobodies daring to impersonate you. It's time to let the world see your strength."

Fearing that Wenwu wouldn't be able to find him, he even thoughtfully told him Kirian's whereabouts.

“Killian was defeated by Iron Man yesterday and I heard he was sent to a New York prison. You can look into that, bro.”

Having lived for so many years and listened for so long, the cunning Wenwu had long understood that Harvey was trying to lure him into causing trouble in America.

"Let's put that aside for now and talk about the deal."

Seeing that the old man wasn't fooled, Harvey threw out another bait.

"Don't worry, bro, do you know why that Killian dared to impersonate you?"

Before Wenwu could ask, he answered his own question: "Because Killian possesses a super soldier serum with a low success rate, the Extremis virus."

"He has dozens of henchmen injected with Extremis serum, which is why he dares to carry out terrorist attacks and claim to rule the world."

Upon hearing about the super soldier serum, Wenwu immediately became interested.

Although he didn't pay much attention to American intelligence, he was aware of Captain America's appearance in the Battle of New York.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked curiously, "Brother, do you have a way to get your hands on this serum?"

Harvey nodded and took out a sample of Extremis virus serum from his spatial bag, placing it on the tea table.

"This is a serum for the Extremis virus; the instructions for use are written on the paper."

"Although the success rate is only 30%, if you succeed, you will gain superpowers such as limb regeneration, super strength, and fire manipulation."

"Consider this serum a small gift for you, brother. I came in a hurry, so I hope you won't find it offensive."

Wenwu was very interested in this super soldier serum, and upon hearing this, he beamed with joy, saying, "Brother, you're too kind. There's no need to prepare such a generous gift for a visit..."

He spoke politely, but secretly gave a wink to the gang members beside him.

The burly gang member next to him, with his keen eye, stepped forward and accepted the desperate serum.

Furthermore, Wenwu, who had a huge appetite, was not satisfied with just one dose of the Desperate Serum.

"Brother, do you have the recipe for the Extremis Serum?"

"Brother, I'm willing to trade my treasure for it."

Although Harvey was only interested in the ten rings, he also wanted to hear what treasures this ancient monster who had lived for hundreds of years could offer to impress him.

"Brother, you know how precious this serum is; it's usually priceless."

"If the Ten Rings were to possess the technology to manufacture the Extinction Serum, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, potentially allowing them to rule the entire world..."

What priceless? Can't Wenwu tell that Harvey is just making empty promises to inflate the price?

He waved his hand and said solemnly, "Brother, listen to me first. I have a daughter, 18 years old, extremely beautiful and intelligent..."

What the hell?

A flicker of surprise crossed Harvey's eyes.

Could this old man be planning to become his own father-in-law?

Putting aside the fact that his daughter's appearance was just average in the original storyline.

Even if his daughter is truly as beautiful as an angel, an ordinary person is still far less precious than the method of creating the Extremis Serum.

This old man's skin is even thicker than mine; he actually wants to get something for nothing?

Chapter 71 Fierce Battle Between Civil and Military Officials

Harvey interrupted Wenwu's introduction.

"No need, brother. I have a girlfriend, and we're very close. I don't want to interfere with your daughter's important life event."

Wenwu remained calm and said, "It's alright. It's normal for capable men to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, it's not a big deal if they're not married. Just let my daughter become the eldest son."

Good grief, you even let your daughter become the head of the family?

Harvey was shocked by Wenwu's shamelessness.

"No, brother, don't joke around. The world is so chaotic these days. Aliens even invaded New York recently. I have no plans to settle down anytime soon."

Seeing Harvey's tough stance, Wenwu sighed inwardly.

Knowing that the world was in such a chaotic state, he wanted to find a good family for his daughter as soon as possible.

Of course, it would be even better if we could exchange spilled water for the Extremis Serum technology.

"Hey, young man, a young talent like you is truly rare in this world. Why don't you reconsider?"

Wenwu didn't want to give up easily. After their last sparring session, he wasn't absolutely confident he could defeat his opponent.

If we can win Harvey over as our son-in-law without bloodshed, we will not only have one less enemy, but also a powerful ally.

So he tried very hard to persuade Harvey.

“Okay, brother, wait a moment. I’ll have my daughter come over to meet you. Trust me, Ling’er’s beauty will definitely surprise you.”

Harvey, seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party otherwise, had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Go and call Ling'er over," Wenwu instructed the gang members beside him.

Waited ten minutes.

The table was laden with dishes that could be described as a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

Harvey was drinking and chatting with Wenwu.

He hadn't tasted familiar Eastern cuisine in a long time, so he enjoyed the meal quite a bit.

When he was slightly tipsy, Harvey dared not drink anymore. He was on someone else's turf, and he had to be a little wary.

If I get drunk and get killed, I'll be considered an idiot.

At this moment, a pretty girl with short hair, dressed in a simple black training uniform, walked into the front hall.

"Father, what do you need me for?"

Upon seeing his daughter arrive, Wenwu immediately invited her to take the seat of honor.

"Ling'er, come here quickly and have a simple meal with this distinguished guest who has come from afar."

Harvey looked up, unsurprised.

Aside from her face being full of collagen, she's just an ordinary girl with a flat chest.

It's a shame that Wenwu even praised his daughter as being as beautiful as Xi Shi; does he really think he's blind?

Xu Xialing dared not refuse her father, whose authority had been deeply ingrained in her, so she obediently sat down next to Harvey, picked up her silver chopsticks, and began to eat in silence.

Wenwu seemed oblivious to the disdain in Harvey's eyes, and enthusiastically introduced the two.

"This is Mr. Harvey, a sorcerer from Kamar-Taj, and this is my daughter, Xu Xialing."

"Ling'er has practiced martial arts since childhood and is quite skilled. Moreover, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, making her capable of fighting on the battlefield and raising children well..."

Xu Xialing understood that her father was setting her up on a blind date, and she felt both ashamed and angry.

Over the years, she had long seen through her father's true nature: he favored sons over daughters and loved his brother Shangqi ten times more than she did.

This blind date is probably also for personal gain.

She didn't want to be used as a bargaining chip by her father, but she didn't dare to refuse him outright, so she could only eat in silence to hide her resentment.

Harvey had no interest in listening to Wenwu's self-praise. After politely listening for a few minutes, he couldn't help but interrupt:

"Uh... let's talk about the deal instead."

"I have now brought the miniature arc reactor technology with me. If you are willing to part with it, we can make a deal right now."

Wenwu's enthusiastic smile gradually faded. He first waved for his daughter to leave, then asked coldly, "Brother, are you really not going to seriously consider this? Or do you not think much of Ling'er?"

It seems that they are ready to take action.

Harvey's expression also turned serious. He said, "Actually, I don't want to take action. I just want to borrow the Ten Rings for a period of time for research. We can agree on a time limit for their return."

Wenwu would never believe such nonsense. Let alone the Ten Commandments, a treasure of life and death, how could they be lent out so easily?

Even though he was her own son, she only gave him two precious rings for self-defense.

Not to mention Harvey, an outsider.

"Brother, you should think this through carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have another chance."

"It's not too late to change your mind and marry Ling'er. I really don't want to send such a rare young talent on his way."

This old man's tone was more arrogant than athlete's foot; Harvey called him by his first name without any concern.

"Xu Wenwu, enough nonsense. Let's set a battlefield to decide the winner. Only the winner has the right to decide everything."

Seeing that the boy was determined to fight, Wenwu showed no mercy.

Wenwu had even figured out how to deal with his opponent after winning.

Once we've won over this brat, we'll send him to my daughter's boudoir and make it a fait accompli.

He wants the Ark Reactor technology and the Extremis Serum technology, and he doesn't want to let go of the people either.

Both sides, convinced of their victory, left the Dragon Abyss Palace and arrived at a spacious training ground.

Seeing that there were still many Ten Commandments members eyeing them covetously, Harvey warned:

"Are you sure you don't want your men to stay away? If a fight breaks out later, I won't care much about anything else."

Wenwu was confident in his strength and said nonchalantly, "No need, because I won't give you the chance to hurt them."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old scoundrel, who had no sense of martial ethics, launched a sneak attack.
