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

Chapter 91 I Swear in the Name of My Family (Second Update)

"As expected, murder and arson bring wealth and honor!"

Li Chuan turned the box over and emptied its contents, then couldn't help but sigh.

"Deadly Black Magic", "Alchemy: The Making of Cursed Items", "Muggle Anatomy Experiments", and "Eighteen Deadly Poison Recipes".

Ignoring the approximately three hundred Galleons, he picked up the spellbooks inside, which were impossible to buy on the market.

"Huh, this is a diary."

Among the dozen or so magic books, Li Chuan discovered a somewhat worn-out diary.

He opened it and skimmed through it. It turned out to be some fragments of the old wizard's records about his own experiences. Although they were scattered, they gave him some understanding of the old wizard.

The old wizard's name was Manu Angel. His mother was a witch and his father was a Muggle. Because of his father's handsome appearance, his mother, who was a witch, fell in love with him.

However, due to the existence of the Law of Secrecy, she had to give up her identity as a witch and marry her father in exchange for never picking up a wand again.

However, due to an accident, the father learned that the mother was a witch. Just like normal Muggles, he was terrified of the existence of witches. He and other Muggles even cruelly tried to burn the mother and three-year-old Manu to death.

As a witch, she was naturally not killed by mere flames. Heartbroken, her mother and little Manu Apparated away from the Muggle village.

Because he used magic in front of Muggles, his mother was arrested and imprisoned, and eventually died in despair. Manu was raised by his uncle and went on to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The trauma of his childhood made Manu Gonna hate Muggles intensely and was obsessed with the powerful magic that dark magic brought.

After graduation, he was wanted by the Ministry of Magic for killing Muggles multiple times to conduct magical experiments, which led to a life of wandering and running around the world, and he became a ruthless dark wizard.

Over the years, he has killed more than a hundred Muggles and more than a dozen wizards.

Having heard about Grindelwald's deeds and greatly admired his ideals, he planned to sell some of his homemade poisons in Knockturn Alley and go to France to join Grindelwald.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Li Chuan, a half-baked wizard.

There was nothing we could do. Who would have thought that at 3 a.m., there would be some scoundrel hiding inside the wall of the alley, launching sneak attacks?

The key issue wasn't even the magic used. If Li Chuan had used a disarming spell, as an experienced old wizard, he would have been able to detect it in advance and cast a spell to stop him.

Who could react to someone grabbing a wand by force? And with such strength, even Old Man Skin was torn off a layer, yet he still couldn't keep his wand.

After putting the diary, magic book, Galleons, and various other odds and ends into his cloth bag, Li Chuan went downstairs and headed towards the basement.

He wanted to have a serious talk with the old wizard.

He might not master black magic and alchemy by the time he leaves this world, but with the guidance of a senior black wizard, the process would be much faster.

"Tom Foley, it's you!"

Inside the basement, old Manu, who was tightly chained up, recognized Li Chuan the moment he saw him.

The owner of the herbal medicine shop in Diagon Alley, the last wizard of the Ferry family of the Twenty-Eight Saints, Li Chuan's original body, although not very strong, still had some fame.

"It seems you recognize me!"

Li Chuan revealed a fairly kind smile.

Old Manu glanced warily at the house-elf Barry beside him, gritting his teeth and trying to suppress his anger as he asked:

"I don't seem to have any grudge against you, so why did you attack me and tie me up here?"

"Yes, we don't have any grudges. To be honest, I attacked you simply because you happened to fit my criteria. I need a teacher who can teach me dark magic."

"teacher?"

Old Manu was stunned, and for a moment he was speechless.

After waking up, he kept thinking about whether he had offended someone recently, or whether the family or friends of the wizard he had killed were seeking revenge.

It turns out the reason was something unbelievable.

You want to find a teacher to teach you dark magic, so you go to Knockturn Alley and kidnap one? Does such a thing even exist?

"Mr. Manu, you will be staying here for the foreseeable future. Your task is to answer all my questions about dark magic. Don't even think about running away. Barry will be watching you."

If I find any signs of you trying to escape, I will kill you and then go to Knockout Alley to kidnap someone else.

You need to understand, there are many dark wizards in Knockturn Alley; you're not the only one.

Li Chuan smiled, but the murderous intent in his words made Manu, the dark wizard, tremble.

He felt that the other person was more like a dark wizard than himself.

"If I answer all your questions, will you let me leave?"

Manu knew that he had no choice but to agree to the terms, but he was also afraid that once he was no longer of any use, the other party would still kill him.

Li Chuan nodded:

"Rest assured, I swear in the name of the Foley family that as long as you sincerely guide me in learning dark magic and related knowledge, I will definitely let you leave safely and intact."

He's not really Tom Foley, so swearing an oath in the name of the Foley family is just a formality.

Letting a ruthless dark wizard go, waiting for him to seek revenge at any time, is not something Li Chuan is naive enough to do.

Even if we were to let old Manu leave, it wouldn't be possible for him to leave completely intact. At the very least, we would have to use a forgetting spell to erase his memories and make him completely forget what happened at Foley Manor.

"Okay, then I promise you."

Upon hearing Li Chuan swear an oath in the name of the family, Old Manu agreed without hesitation.

Almost everyone in the wizarding world knows that if a wizard, especially a pure-blood wizard, swears an oath on his family name, it is virtually impossible for him to lie.

Especially since Tom Foley is a member of the Holy Twenty-Eight, he would never joke about his family so casually.

"But I must warn you, if you don't teach me properly and I learn slowly, I'll still kill you!"

As Li Chuan spoke, he waved his wand and cast a severing spell on the man in the suit who was tied to the cross next to him, severing his head and causing blood to spurt out.

The fat man next to the man in the suit and the other men were immediately terrified and started screaming like ghosts.

The dark wizard seemed unfazed by this situation, though his lips twitched inwardly as he cursed:

"Merlin's Underpants, if you have poor learning abilities and can't learn it, don't blame me!"

He cursed inwardly, but he also knew that the other party was not joking. If he dared not teach seriously, he might really die here.

It's not difficult for a wizard to live past a hundred years old; he's only sixty and doesn't want to die so soon.
