Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 286 Mind-Controlling Technique (Second Update)

After casting a Soul-Stealing Curse, the female warrior's fierce expression immediately turned into one of happiness.

However, just as Jerry was about to ask, the female Extremis warrior gritted her teeth and immediately returned to normal.

"Huh, it actually withstood the Soul-Stealing Curse. Looks like it has a pretty strong will."

These retired, disabled soldiers, who had also undergone the transformation caused by the Extremis virus, possessed a will no less resilient than that of the mercenary leader who had previously attempted to assassinate them.

Moreover, many of them have experience with special torture training, making them more resistant to mental control.

Therefore, since the mercenary leader was immune to the Soul Reaper Curse, it makes sense that this female Extremis warrior would also be immune.

Of course, even if the Imperius Curse doesn't work, Jerry still has other ways to extract the information he needs from the female Extremis's mind.

Under normal circumstances, if the Soul Reaper Curse doesn't work, you can use the Cruciatus Curse to torture the other person until they break down mentally, and then the Soul Reaper Curse can usually finish them off.

Jerry used the same method to deal with that mercenary captain before.

But now, with Tony standing right next to him, using the Cruciatus Curse would be too inconsistent with the persona he had previously cultivated.

Therefore, he abandoned this plan and adopted the second plan instead.

"Capture the spirit, grasp the mind!"

When Jerry's gaze met that of the female Extremis, he immediately activated Legilimency, a technique he had learned from Voldemort.

Legilimency allows one to read another's thoughts simply by making eye contact. Skilled Legilimency masters can not only read thoughts but also access memories deep within the brain.

This was the first time he had used Legilimency in the main world since he learned it.

He doesn't need to do it in everyday situations, and he doesn't like reading other people's thoughts for no reason.

People who enjoy reading minds, especially those close to them, are more likely to develop a mental illness.

"Tell me, why would Killian plan a terrorist attack? Where is he now?"

Upon hearing this, the female Extremis warrior silently closed her eyes, clearly having no intention of answering his question.

"She doesn't know why Killian planned the terrorist attack, but she does know where Killian is now, and we need to hurry because your friend, War Machine Colonel Rhodes, seems to have been captured!"

Jerry withdrew Legilimency and turned to Tony.

"Impossible! How did you know? I didn't say anything!"

Upon hearing Jerry's words, the female Extremis warrior's eyes widened in disbelief.

Jerry looked down at the female Extremis warrior:

"You may have forgotten, but I'm a magician. I only used a little mind-reading magic!"

"Rhodes was captured by them?"

Upon hearing this, Tony immediately became anxious.

Jerry suggested:

"Tony, you fly fast, go and rescue Colonel Rhodes first. I'll stay here and take care of things here, then I'll head over to help you right away."

"Okay, I'll be going now!"

Tony knew that Jerry's flying speed wasn't fast; even the dragon he was riding couldn't reach his Iron Man suit, which was three times the speed of sound.

So he nodded, left the villa, and flew at full speed toward the dock where Killian was located.

After Iron Man left, the female Extremis warrior suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Jerry, saying:

"No, you just said I didn't know about Lord Killian's plan. If you could really read minds, you couldn't possibly not know. Either you weren't telling Mr. Tony the truth!"

She was startled by Jerry's mind-reading magic, but now that she thought about it carefully, something was wrong. She clearly knew Lord Killian's plan, so why didn't he say that? He only revealed Lord Killian's location and that the war machine had been captured by them.

Jerry looked at the female Extremis warrior and smiled:

"Sorry, you know too much!"

With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a Divine Sharpness Shadowless Spell, and the female warrior's head flew off immediately.

This scene caused Mandarin and the three beautiful women behind them to scream again in fright.

"Forget everything, and all is emptiness!"

With four consecutive forgetting spells, Jerry erased the four people's memories of his conversation with the female Extremis warrior.

He had indeed just learned about Killian's plan from the female Extremis, but he hadn't told Tony because he had his own plans.

Dr. Killian had enormous ambitions; through the Extremis, he orchestrated a series of terrorist activities in order to create the most powerful terrorist organization.

At the same time, his purpose in capturing Colonel Rhodes was also to seize Colonel Rhodes' War Machine suit, and to use the suit to get close to the heavily protected president and kidnap him.

Furthermore, they used the promise of using the Extremis virus to help the Vice President's daughter recover from her disability as leverage to get the Vice President on their side.

If the plan succeeds, Dr. Killian will simultaneously control the largest national government in the West and the world's most notorious terrorist organization. He can then use this as a base to conquer other countries and rule the Earth.

However, Jerry thought the other person was just dreaming.

Even if Dr. Killian succeeds in his plan, wanting to control a country with these Extremis warriors who could explode at any moment, and a vice president.

What if S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't exist?

Even without him, the Avengers members like Captain America, Thor, and Hulk working together could wipe out the so-called Extremis warriors.

Moreover, there are definitely still quite a few hidden superhumans and all sorts of messy forces in this world.

However, none of this mattered to Jerry. The president's life or death was none of his concern, since the president wasn't one of his men anyway. Even if he helped save the president, it wouldn't matter.

In the future, if he does anything that violates the interests of the country's capital, the president will not hesitate to order his removal.

What he really cared about was the part of the intelligence report about the vice president betraying the country by obeying a terrorist organization in order to help his daughter recover her health.

In other words, in that vice president's eyes, the role of the father was far more important than the role of the vice president.

That's why he risked everything for his daughter by helping a group of terrorists who wanted to kill the president and rule the country.

Quite by chance, he happened to have a bottle of limb-regenerating potion in his spatial box, which was a Christmas gift from Professor Snape.

This limb-regenerating potion can safely help the Vice President's daughter overcome her disability and become a normal girl, without any side effects.

This is also why he didn't tell Tony about Dr. Killian's plan.

He couldn't let anyone know that the vice president was serving Killian; he needed the vice president to remain in that position, even after the president left office, to go further.

That would better suit his interests.
