Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 20 A Bizarre Family

Leaving that street, Jerry, dressed in a black wizard's robe, began his journey along deserted paths towards an area with a high incidence of crime.

He was speaking Mandarin with that elderly Chinese woman just now, but that was intentional.

He needs to earn little red stars to increase his strength, and then he will definitely participate in more and more events to prevent crime and disasters. As his strength increases, these events will definitely become bigger and bigger.

Sooner or later, he will come into the public eye, into the police force, into the government, and even into the sights of S.H.I.E.L.D.

If someone investigates him carefully, they will discover that this wizard, who can use magical powers, spoke fluent and authentic Mandarin when he first did good deeds in public.

People tend to believe in the answers they have painstakingly found.

The guy, who always spoke English, wore a wizard's robe and hat, carried a magic wand, and was hidden behind a mask, exposed his true identity because of his language skills during his first mission when he had little experience.

Therefore, his true identity is very likely that he is a Chinese child living in New York.

See, this perfectly misled some people who wanted to know his real identity.

Jerry felt that hiding his identity was very important because he wasn't alone; he had a loving father and a lovely sister.

He will become very powerful in the future, but his family will never be as powerful as him.

Although the two people were not actually related to his body by blood, they had lived together for eleven years and could be considered his only two true relatives in this world.

To be honest, this family of three is quite eccentric.

The three men had three different surnames: his name was Jerry Carmen, his sister's name was Elsa Hathaway, and his father's name was Has Witt.

Although Jerry is not actually related to the two by blood, Elsa and Haas are a real father and daughter.

However, Elsa's mother passed away shortly after Elsa's birth due to health reasons. Haas gave his daughter her mother's surname in memory of his deceased wife.

As for Jerry, his situation was even worse.

His parents disappeared when he was born, before he was even a month old, and have not been heard from since.

Has and his father were very close childhood friends. After Jerry's parents disappeared, Has took him in and raised him as his own son.

This care lasted for eleven years.

Therefore, Jerry is very grateful to Haas, because although he was reborn with his memories intact, he had no ability to protect himself as an infant.

On the streets of New York at midnight, apart from homeless people, office workers returning home late from overtime, and young people who enjoy nightlife, you can hardly see anyone else.

Oh, and of course, there are the criminals who love to commit their crimes under the cover of darkness. And then there are the superheroes who lurk in the night to fight them.

"Thief! Thief!"

In the silent darkness, a woman's anxious cry for help suddenly rang out.

Lucy is a tabloid reporter. Tonight, she worked an extra few hours because she needed to organize the materials for tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, I was bumped into by someone as soon as I stepped out of the subway station.

With her experience, she immediately checked her handbag and found that it had been ripped open and her wallet was gone.

And so, the following scene unfolded.

Although the thief was discovered in time, how could a working woman in a suit and high heels outrun a thief known for his speed?

Helpless, she could only shout for help, hoping that some kind person on the roadside could help stop them.

Unfortunately, there were hardly any people on the street at that time, and the few who were there simply chose to stand by and watch.

Because nobody wants to get stabbed a few times when they try to stop a thief!

Just as Lucy watched the thief's figure recede into the distance, almost disappearing from her sight, a strange cloud of smoke suddenly appeared, enveloping the thief.

A moment later, when she arrived, panting, the smoke suddenly disappeared, leaving only the thief who had stolen her wallet, now unconscious, and the pink wallet in his hand.

"It's almost three o'clock, time to head back!"

After taking down another street thief, Jerry checked the time and decided to end his first hunt of the night.

Not bad, he cracked down on four crimes in one night. Although none of them were major, he still earned nearly two hundred little red stars.

In New York at night, crimes of all sizes, visible and invisible, are as numerous as hairs on a cow.

However, due to the lack of proper transportation, Jerry's current activity range is limited to the vicinity of his residential area.

In addition, he lacked a way to quickly find crimes, so his efficiency was not very high. He felt that finding four crimes in one night was already considered lucky.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have Superman's ears, which allow him to hear about nearby crimes anytime, anywhere.

The next morning at seven o'clock, Jerry instinctively woke up from his sleep.

Since gaining some self-care ability, Jerry has been getting up at seven o'clock every day without fail, which has become his instinct over the years.

He got up, put on his clothes and shoes, and left home.

I don't go out early in the morning to do chivalrous deeds and earn little red stars, but rather for my daily morning run.

His muscles didn't grow out of thin air; they were built up slowly through daily training and countless drops of sweat.

"Good morning, Jerry, time for your run again!"

Good morning, Grandpa George!

While still in the elevator, Jerry ran into an elderly neighbor who lived next door and liked to take a walk in the morning.

It's hard not to remember a four or five-year-old who gets up early to go for a run, especially since he'll politely help you throw away trash or fetch things.

Kindness, positivity, optimism, politeness, helpfulness, outstanding academic performance, and love of sports—these are the impressions Jerry has left on all his neighbors over the years.

It is also a source of suffering for many children in the neighborhood, including other children in the entire building.

Forty minutes later, Jerry returned home, covered in sweat.

Running 10 kilometers every morning is what he does every day now, but because he is not yet an adult and his legs are not long enough, plus he often tries to earn some little red stars on the way, it takes him a little longer.

Otherwise, given his current physical condition, he could run 10 kilometers in nearly 30 minutes.

Jerry threw all his clean clothes into the washing machine, turned on the fully automatic washing button, and began his morning routine of brushing his teeth and taking a shower.

Ten minutes later, he changed into a set of pajamas, tied on a scarf, and went into the kitchen.
