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

Chapter 111 Adopting Voldemort (Second Update)

"It was only recently built, no wonder I couldn't find it before."

After some searching, Li Chuan finally found the address of the Wu Family Orphanage. It turned out that the orphanage had only been completed on December 5th.

He had been practicing magic at the manor and had looked for the orphanage in his spare time, but he had never found any clues.

He only remembered that it was around November or December, but he couldn't remember the exact day he was born because it had been so long.

As the second Dark Lord, Voldemort's magical talent is beyond doubt. Taking him under his wing while he was still an infant will make him an extremely powerful ally in the future.

Furthermore, Voldemort invented many new spells, the most obvious being the spell of flight, which was the only spell that allowed wizards to fly in the air without the aid of any magical items.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

As soon as Li Chuan entered the orphanage, a young girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old and was wearing work clothes quickly came over and stopped him.

"Is your director, Mrs. Cole, here? I'd like to speak with her about sponsoring your orphanage."

Before he arrived, he had found out that the Wu family orphanage was built by a woman named Cole.

It is said that because her husband and son died in World War I, she used all her savings to build this orphanage.

"Madam is taking care of Mrs. Melop; shall I take you there to see him?"

Upon hearing that the person was a kind-hearted person who was going to sponsor an orphanage, the young girl dared not delay and quickly led Li Chuan into the house.

When Li Chuan heard the name Merop, he was taken aback, because he knew that Voldemort's mother was named Merop Gaunt.

"Mrs. Melop? Isn't this an orphanage?"

"Oh, that was an accident. On the day of the first snow, the day after our orphanage was built, Mrs. Merop collapsed at the door."

The director noticed that Mrs. Merop was very weak and seemed close to giving birth, so he temporarily took her in at the orphanage and began to care for her.

The little girl explained.

So, Voldemort hasn't been born yet.

Li Chuan's eyes darted around, and he roughly got the idea.

Soon, led by the little girl, Li Chuan arrived at the room where Mrs. Cole and Melop were.

Inside the room, Melop lay on the bed, heavily pregnant, her eyes vacant, coughing occasionally, looking unusually haggard.

It's that feeling of being heartbroken, of having no attachment to life whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the well-informed Mrs. Cole fed her porridge while offering her some words of advice.

"Dean, a gentleman is looking for you."

The little girl stood at the door and called softly inside.

Mrs. Cole turned to look at the little girl and Li Chuan, a look of confusion on her face, but she still put down the porridge in her hand and came out.

"Sir, who are you?"

"Tom Foley, I heard that a new orphanage has been built here, so I'd like to donate some money to see if it can help."

Li Chuan said with a smile.

Mrs. Cole's eyes lit up when she heard about donating money.

She had spent almost all her savings building this orphanage and was worried about the expenses of adopting orphans when kind people came to her door. This was of course the best thing that could happen.

"Mr. Foley, let's go to the office and talk."

Half an hour later, after a pleasant conversation, Li Chuan left the orphanage.

As one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families, the Foley family has a long history, and their wealth is not just Galleons. They also possess many antiques that are worth a fortune in the Muggle world.

Any item he randomly picked up could fetch a large amount of Muggle currency at auction, and using a portion of that to fund orphanages was incredibly easy for Li Chuan.

"Since Voldemort hasn't been born yet, let's wait a little longer."

He originally planned to demonstrate his strength by sponsoring the orphanage, so that he could naturally adopt Voldemort without the orphanage director's objection.

Voldemort is still in the womb, so there's no need to rush. It's only a matter of time anyway.

After leaving the orphanage, Li Chuan immediately used Apparition to return to the manor.

He then spent the rest of his time teaching Credence magic, and whenever he had free time, he would take Credence to visit Newt.

Because of their previous friendship in New York, Newt was completely open with Li Chuan, and the two discussed magical creatures and exchanged ideas on magic, which helped Li Chuan steadily improve his magical abilities.

The greatest progress has been made, especially in the area of ​​the Seamless Stretch Mantra.

Occasionally, he would visit the orphanage to check on Melop. Because he had invested a lot of money, Mrs. Cole always treated Li Chuan like a VIP.

Voldemort was finally born at the Wu family orphanage on December 31st.

When Li Chuan arrived, the birth had already ended, and Melop had passed away.

"I remember her saying to me, 'I hope he looks like his father.' Then she told me that the child would be named Tom, like his father, and his middle name would be Marvolo, like her own father. She also said that the boy's last name was Riddle. Then she didn't say anything more and died soon after."

Mrs. Cole, holding the newborn Voldemort, told Li Chuan Merope's last words.

Li Chuan looked at the tiny Voldemort and said to Mrs. Cole:

"The little guy's name is Tom, and so am I. Perhaps this is fate, Mrs. Cole. May I adopt him?"

"Oh, that's wonderful. The little guy may have had a tough life, but he'll be very happy to be adopted by such a kind person as Mr. Foley."

When Mrs. Cole heard that Li Chuan wanted to adopt little Tom, she agreed without hesitation.

In his eyes, Li Chuan was a very kind-hearted person who not only funded orphanages but also occasionally visited the orphans there. More importantly, he was very wealthy.

It would be the best thing if orphans from an orphanage were adopted by such people.

"He's a pitiful and pathetic person, but don't worry, I will raise your child well."

As Li Chuan carried little Voldemort away from the orphanage, he placed a bouquet of flowers at Merope's tombstone.

Merope Gaunt is a pitiful woman who was abused by her father from a young age and lived in fear. But she is also very tragic because she falls in love with a wealthy and handsome Muggle from a local family.

The Muggle didn't like her, so she used a love potion to make him fall in love with her. Until one day, she thought the Muggle would really like her, and stopped using the love potion.

The truth is that the Muggle didn't like her and was terrified of being controlled by Melotte, so he resolutely left her.

This is actually quite normal. At least Li Chuan felt that the Muggle was a victim from beginning to end, and his reaction was not excessive. He was already considered kind for not asking other Muggles to burn Melop, the witch who had been forcibly controlling him.
