He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 110 Who is the Mysterious Person? (First Update)

"Thank you for your help. May I ask your name?"

On a deserted mountaintop on the outskirts of New York, Grindelwald extended his hand to Li Chuan with a gentle expression.

Not every wizard can elicit such an attitude from him; this wizard in front of him is clearly an exception.

He was able to single-handedly storm the U.S. Congress and the Ministry of Magic, instantly defeat ten elite Aurors, and use a previously unseen area-of-effect spell to stop more than two hundred wizards.

He truly admired the power displayed by this mysterious wizard.

To be honest, none of the wizards under his command currently possess the same strength and adaptability as the opponent.

You can call me Chuan.

Li Chuan reached out and shook hands with Grindelwald.

"Chuan, a very unique name. Since you agree with my ideals, would you like to join me in this great cause?"

Grindelwald extended another invitation to Li Chuan.

This time, Li Chuan did not refuse, but replied:

"Mr. Grindelwald, to be honest, I am very interested in your great cause, but I cannot fully condone some of your practices. So, if you want me to join you, that's fine, but I have some conditions."

"You said you'd do it, and I'll definitely agree!"

Grindelwald nodded without any surprise.

As a leader, he knew very well who his followers were: some because they shared his ideals, some simply admired his power, and others purely for personal gain and power.

As long as someone is capable and talented, their motivation is unimportant; what matters most is that they can be put to good use.

As for someone as talented as him, as long as he is willing to help him achieve his goals, there is no problem with him making a few more requests.

Seeing this, Li Chuan began to speak slowly:

"First, I have some things to do, so I can't always be by your side. I can only visit you when I have time."

Second, I can contribute to a great cause, but I will not kill innocent people, whether wizards or Muggles. But rest assured, I will complete the task you give me without killing innocent people.

Third, I enjoy studying magic, and if possible, I hope to have some exchanges with you to improve my magical abilities.

Of the three conditions, the first two are not very important; they are mainly used to confuse him. The most important one is the third: he wants to improve his magical abilities through Grindelwald and learn more powerful dark magic.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's three conditions, Grindelwald hesitated for less than three seconds before decisively agreeing.

In his view, these three conditions were really nothing.

Given Li Chuan's demonstrated abilities, he really didn't care whether Li Chuan was by his side or not. As long as he could get things done when asked, that was enough.

As for not killing innocent people, that's even less of a problem. He was able to escape unscathed when he encountered Aurors, so whether to kill or not is naturally in Li Chuan's own hands.

As for magical exchanges, he wished he could teach all his dark magic to his followers. Unfortunately, magical strength mainly depends on talent. Some people without talent cannot learn it even if you teach them, and even if they do learn it, the power of their magic is small.

What truly made him pause for three seconds was the uncontrollability reflected in Li Chuan's three conditions.

The other party was unwilling to become his loyal subordinate, but was only willing to help him when he needed it.

But it doesn't matter. He believes that with his personal charisma and powerful strength, he will eventually make this somewhat mysterious wizard Chuan one of his most loyal subordinates.

Moreover, it's acceptable for capable subordinates to be a little willful.

After a brief exchange, Li Chuan parted ways with Grindelwald, citing other commitments.

Grindelwald gave Li Chuan a French address, telling him to go there whenever he was done with his work. Li Chuan, however, didn't come empty-handed; citing his dislike of being mind-trapped, he asked Grindelwald for the Mind Control Charm.

This world has natural Legilimency users like Tina, and there is also a Legilimency spell developed by Legilimency users.

A Legilimency user can unconsciously read the thoughts of those around them, while a Legilimency spell can grant a wizard the ability to read minds through eye contact, in the form of a magic spell.

However, this spell is too difficult to master, and very few wizards in the world can master it.

Currently, the only two people known to be proficient in the Mind Control Spell in this era are Grindelwald and Dumbledore.

Just now, when Li Chuan was communicating with Grindelwald, he avoided eye contact as much as possible, just so that Grindelwald could not read his thoughts.

But since his public identity is Tom Foley, he will inevitably come into contact with Dumbledore in the future, and he can't deliberately avoid Dumbledore's gaze.

Moreover, unlike Grindelwald, who rarely uses Legilimency, that guy particularly enjoys secretly reading other people's thoughts.

Therefore, Li Chuan obtained the Occlumency Charm from Grindelwald. Once he mastered the spell, even Dumbledore would be unable to read his thoughts.

After leaving Grindelwald, he changed his appearance again and temporarily stayed at the Minotaur Bar in Magic Street for one night.

As he expected, the entire wizarding world erupted again early the next morning.

All the magical newspapers reported on how the mysterious wizard used powerful water magic to defeat more than two hundred wizards in the U.S. Congress and rescue Grindelwald from prison.

Below it was even a magical GIF with a different perspective, clearly taken by a wizard using a magical camera from an upper floor.

Meanwhile, the Magical Congress of the United States has temporarily designated Li Chuan, a wizard whose name is unknown, whose origins are untraceable, and who has never been recorded in any way, as the Mysterious Man, and has issued a global warrant and reward for his capture.

The Mysterious Man's threat level is second only to Grindelwald, and his bounty is also second only to Grindelwald's.

The Magical Congress of the United States even set aside a separate reward for all information about the mysterious man.

However, everything about the mysterious man is truly mysterious; not a single wizard knows who this guy is.

Similarly, in addition to the various national ministries of magic, Grindelwald, who had separated from Li Chuan, also mobilized his own forces to try to find out Li Chuan's true identity, but to no avail.

In short, the mysterious person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

While the wizarding world was abuzz with speculation about the identity of the mysterious man and the whereabouts of Grindelwald, Li Chuan had already returned to London in a new guise, using the Black Market Portkey.

However, he did not immediately return to his manor, but instead went to a Muggle orphanage called the Wu Family Orphanage.

Because he was going to find the real mystery who would terrify all the wizards of London in the future—Tom Riddle, or Voldemort.

If he remembers correctly, Voldemort was born in December 1926 at the Woods Orphanage.
