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

Chapter 21 New Home in New York

Side Quest: Rescue Dr. Ethan and safely rescue Dr. Ethan from the terrorists.

Reward: A-rank ninjutsu, Palm Healing Technique.

After opening the panel and checking out the newly appeared side quests, Li Chuan began to recall his memories of his past life.

"Dr. Ethan, is he the doctor who helped Stark build his armor and ultimately sacrificed himself?"

He remembered that when Tony Stark was imprisoned, there was a doctor named Ethan. Ethan not only saved Tony Stark's life but also helped him secretly create the first Iron Man suit. He was eventually killed by a hail of bullets while trying to buy time during the breakout.

Should I accept this task?

After thinking for a moment, Li Chuan decided to temporarily change his plan to go to the Naruto world and complete this mission first.

The A-rank medical ninjutsu, Palm Healing Technique, is a ninjutsu he absolutely cannot let go of.

In battle, no one can guarantee that they will not get injured. The Palm Immortal Technique can heal both internal and external injuries, and can also cause people to fall into a coma by interfering with the body's circulation.

Learning this ninjutsu would greatly improve his survival rate and would also be of great help to his plans to return to Hokage later.

"Alright, Jack, you guys should all go back now. This is too conspicuous."

When the convoy reached a quiet street in Queens, Li Chuan told Jack and all the bodyguards to leave first, and then he drove on with Wanda and Pietro.

A month after deciding to settle in New York, Li Chuan discussed the location of their settlement with Wanda.

New York City is the largest metropolitan area in the United States, comprising five boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island.

Li Chuan's initial idea was to buy a villa in the most bustling Manhattan district, because it was closer to the new company's building and would be more convenient to travel back and forth.

However, after thinking about it, the location of the first Avengers battle was in Manhattan, and living there would be too dangerous for Wanda, so she gave up on that idea.

His next thought was Queens, which is separated from Manhattan only by the East River, not far from his company, and has the best natural scenery.

In his previous life, he fought a life-or-death martial arts match in New York and lived in Queens, so he was quite familiar with the area.

As for safety, Queens is probably the safest of the boroughs, and in the future, there's a good neighbor, Spider-Man, swinging on his webs to maintain order.

Wanda had no objection to settling in Queens, but she disagreed with the idea of ​​buying a villa to live in.

The reason is that living in the villa area is too boring and too quiet. When Li Chuan goes to work, she is the only one at home.

She wanted to live in a regular apartment building so she could meet new neighbors, discuss cooking and childcare with other women, exchange gifts, and so on.

She didn't like the life of an upper-class lady; her ideal life was like the one depicted in "The Dick Van Dyck Show," simple yet full of little pleasures.

Li Chuan agreed without much hesitation.

Wanda considered his career and moved to New York with him, so he also had to consider Wanda's feelings.

In fact, he didn't have any particular feelings about living in a villa or an apartment building. He simply chose a villa because he felt it would be safer for Wanda.

Moreover, there are not many problems living in residential buildings.

Before arriving in New York, he had already instructed Xiao Liu to replace all the property management staff in the residential complex with his own people. From the day he moved in, all the security guards in the complex were his most elite subordinates, whom he had personally trained.

Each of them is exceptionally skilled, having taken the highest quality remedies for years and received professional firearms training.

Unlike the over-the-counter strength pills, the ones Li Chuan's men took were improved versions, and long-term use of these pills resulted in a more significant increase in strength.

However, it was still much less effective than the ointment he obtained from a side quest.

Meanwhile, he had also bought several houses in the entire complex with the best sniping angles for their rooms and arranged for corresponding snipers.

If enemies appear, these snipers will blow their heads off immediately.

Of course, these things could not be told to Wanda.

Because in Wanda's eyes, Li Chuan has always been a kind-hearted, legitimate businessman, a philanthropist praised by everyone in Sokovia, and a good husband who helps with housework at home.

Li Chuan didn't mean to deliberately hide these things from Wanda; it's just that when he first pursued Wanda, he established a good person persona, and he maintained that persona in front of the public. Suddenly showing Wanda his dark side might be difficult for her to accept.

Furthermore, although he was ruthless and showed no mercy to his enemies, he did not want his wife and future children to think that he was a bad person.

He had already embarked on this path in his previous life, and in order to become powerful and protect the people he cared about, he had to be ruthless.

If he becomes powerful enough in the future and the world doesn't face any major crises, he hopes his child will grow up to be a kind, happy, and righteous person.

Instead of being like him.

"Alright, we've arrived at our new home!"

Under the respectful gaze of two burly security guards, Li Chuan parked his car in the open-air parking area of ​​the residential complex.

"To be honest, it's no wonder it's a big city; the security guards in the neighborhood all look very safe."

As Pietro got out of the car, he couldn't help but make a comment.

He works as a courier and frequently travels through various neighborhoods in Sokovia, where most of the security guards are elderly men or middle-aged men with large bellies.

It's rare to actually hire young and strong men as security guards, unless it's a truly upscale residential community.

But the neighborhood they're in now is clearly just an ordinary one, and the two security guards at the entrance are at least 1.9 meters tall; you can feel their explosive muscles even in their uniforms.

Forget about being a security guard, he could probably even win an award if he became a bodybuilder.

"I specifically chose this neighborhood because I heard it has good security."

Li Chuan explained with a smile as he carried the luggage from the car.

There was no way around it; it wasn't that he didn't want to keep a low profile, but his subordinates were all taking concentrated versions of stimulants for a long time, so their physiques were inevitably affected.

Just like his male secretary, Xiao Liu, people who don't know him always think Xiao Liu is his bodyguard, although he is indeed one.

Other bosses' secretaries are either stunningly beautiful women with curvaceous figures or refined, bespectacled elite men, but his secretary is Xiao Liu.

Bald, 1.9 meters tall, with a fierce face and a body full of muscles, he's the kind of guy whose smile would scare kids to tears.
