Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 367 Don't Mess with the Wizard's Family (6000+ words)

"You should know where Mr. Pierce's office is, right? Let's take care of this boss first, and then eliminate the other Hydra spies."

Seeing Nick Fury and the others walk over from the other side of the portal, Jerry immediately made a suggestion.

"Pierce's office is on the fortieth floor below, but before that, let me do something first."

Nick Fury walked to his desk, pressed a button, and gave the order:

"Connect the public address system to all rooms in the building."

"I refuse to accept orders!"

A mechanical female voice answered.

"Authorized by the Director, Director Nicholas J. Fury."

"Authorization failed. Your permissions have been removed!"

The mechanical female voice sounded again.

"That old bastard Pierce removed my privileges so quickly. Luckily, I had a backup plan."

Upon hearing the report that his privileges had been removed, Nick Fury cursed under his breath, then removed the eye patch from his left eye and placed his now-blind eye on the retinal scanner on the table.

Then, the mechanical female voice finally replied:

"Level A clearance, obey your command!"

Hearing that his privileges had been restored, Nick Fury repeated his initial command, then, after confirming the connection was established, solemnly began to speak:

"Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, this is your director Nick Fury, and I am not dead."

Now listen carefully, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been completely infiltrated by Hydra, and anyone around you could be a Hydra spy.

So what you need to do now is not trust anyone, not obey anyone's orders, and do your best to protect yourselves. The rest, the wizard, Captain America, and I will handle.

To reiterate, do not obey anyone's orders, not even your most trusted superior, as they might also be a Hydra spy!

Nick Fury's intention was simple: to prevent real S.H.I.E.L.D. agents from being tricked into attacking them, thus preventing friendly fire incidents and also preventing them from being killed by Hydra spies when they were caught off guard.

Although Pierce removed his authority, he remains, in name only, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Therefore, at this point, any genuine S.H.I.E.L.D. agent would refuse to accept any further orders, and anyone who came to attack or obstruct their operations could be treated as a Hydra spy.

"I've always wanted to ask, with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology, couldn't you have cured that eye?"

Jerry looked at Nick Fury as he removed his blindfold, revealing his completely white eyeball, and asked curiously.

Nick Fury puts his blindfold back on:

"Do you know what a Flerken is? It's an extremely powerful alien creature. I got this eye injury when I fought a Flerken when I was young, and Earth's technology can't cure it at all."

"You've even fought alien creatures?"

Captain America looked surprised.

Nick Fury said with a serious expression:

"Why do you think I wanted to develop powerful weapons so much, and why I was induced by Pierce to formulate the Insight Project?"

It's because a long time ago, I already knew that there were aliens outside Earth, such as the Kree, Skrulls, and Soul Eaters, who were far more powerful than Earth.

And not all of them are as friendly as E.T. the aliens!

"Alright, I think we'd better hurry, otherwise it'll be troublesome if Mr. Pierce gets away!"

Jerry completely disregarded Nick Fury's concerns. Earth was one of the Nine Realms, the center of the World Tree, and Odin would not allow aliens to invade on a large scale.

Moreover, the Ancient One and Kamar-Taj protect them.

However, there were some things he couldn't tell Nick Fleming, because the Ancient One had previously said that it was best not to let ordinary people know about the existence of Kamar-Taj.

After leaving the director's office, the group headed directly towards the chairman's office on the fortieth floor below.

Of course, there were obstacles from Hydra spies and the building's internal defense system, but they were all easily subdued by a series of spells, including Jerry's Stunning Curse, Body Binding Curse, and Explosion Curse. Captain America and the others didn't even have to lift a finger.

Along the way, thanks to Jerry's presence, the pace of progress was almost uninterrupted until they reached the floor where the chairman's office finally began to change.

In the spacious corridor, at least fifty Hydra agents blocked Jerry's way.

Unlike the Hydra agents he had encountered before, these fifty agents were all dressed in all-black combat suits made of unknown materials, and wore specially made helmets.

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

Jerry unleashed a series of sleeping spells as usual, but the blue magical energy hitting the black-uniformed Hydra spies failed to render them unconscious as before, as if it had no effect.

"Jerry, they're wearing anti-wizard suits; your magic might not be able to harm them!"

At this moment, Nick Fury, who was standing behind Jerry, quickly reminded him.

"Anti-Wizard Set?"

Jerry was taken aback when he heard the name.

Nick Fury offered a somewhat awkward explanation:

"Because of your previous performance in New York, the members of the Security Council were somewhat frightened, so they specially approved a sum of money, requiring our S.H.I.E.L.D. to come up with a plan to counter your magic."

After research by top scientists at S.H.I.E.L.D., combining Earth's technology with some Chitauri alien technology, and using some rare materials obtained through special channels, fifty anti-wizard suits were finally created at great expense.

These suits can withstand high-temperature flame damage and high-intensity electric shock damage. They can also absorb and isolate any energy and light that strikes the body to a certain extent. The downside is that their physical defense is not strong.

After hearing Nick Fury's explanation, Jerry raised an eyebrow and replied irritably:

"You know what? I really want to give you a giant watermelon to eat right now!"

He could basically guess that not only the Security Council, but also Fury himself probably felt that his strength was too great and that some countermeasures were needed, which was why they created these so-called "anti-wizard suits".

As a result, everything has now benefited Hydra.

To be honest, Jerry didn't pay much attention to it, because the so-called "anti-wizard suit" could block some of his magic, especially the more powerful fire dragon spell and lightning strikes.

However, Jerry knows far too much magic, and these defensive measures are far from sufficient.

"Armor for protection!"

First, Jerry used an Ironclad Charm to block the dense barrage of bullets coming from the other side, then lightly stomped his foot on the ground:

"Sand in a Persian carpet!"

Under Jerry's magic, the originally smooth and hard metal ground suddenly became extremely soft and sticky, as if it had turned into a swampy wasteland.

The fifty Hydra spies in front, dressed in anti-magic suits, were being sucked down by the ground, just like people trapped in swamp sludge.

No matter how much they struggled, no matter how much they attacked the ground with their weapons, it was all in vain.

Finally, after all the Hydra agents in their anti-wizard suits had disappeared, Jerry stomped on the ground again to restore it to normal.

As a magician, a master magician proficient in magic from four worlds, Jerry has learned an enormous variety of magical abilities.

If anyone tries to study ways to counter his magic, they will find that it is absolutely impossible.

"The Arahomon Opens!"

Arriving at the door of the room with the sign that read "Chairman of the Security Council," Jerry casually tossed out a lock-picking spell.

"As expected of the renowned wizard, those meticulously crafted suits specifically designed for you have completely failed!"

Pierce, who had been observing the situation outside through the surveillance cameras, saw Jerry, Nick Fury, and others enter the office. He showed no sign of panic and calmly stood up.

"Fuck you, you've lost completely. Hydra has lost too. Jerry has taken care of most of the Hydra agents in the building. I guarantee you'll spend the rest of your life in prison."

As soon as Nick Fury saw Pierce, he immediately swore and then pointed at him angrily, yelling at him.

Before knowing the truth, Nick Fury had absolute trust in Pierce, after all, he was the one who had chosen him as director, and over the years Pierce had helped him gain a lot of power and benefits from the Security Council.

He is truly a good teacher and helpful friend.

The more he loved him then, the more he hates him now. If he didn't want to use Pierce to eradicate all of Hydra's influence, he would have shot him dead right now.

"Fury, don't get so worked up. Actually, our ideals have always been the same. S.H.I.E.L.D. is Hydra, and Hydra is S.H.I.E.L.D. Why get so angry? We are all protecting this world. When the Insight Project was first proposed, you were very supportive of it."

Pierce started bluffing again with a completely sincere expression.

Nick Fury became even angrier upon hearing this:

"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission is to protect the people, to protect humanity, while you Hydra are only after dictatorship, power, and ambition!"

"Fury, if we can get Project Insight into action and eliminate those 20 million potential threats, I can save the remaining 7 billion people. Be bold, take this step, it's the right decision."

"Holy crap, twenty million! Pierce's got some serious guts!"

When Jerry heard that Pierce was going to use the Insight Plan to wipe out 20 million people, his eyes lit up instantly.

Originally, he thought that killing a few hundred thousand would be the most he could do, but the result was several times higher. Now that it's over, it would be unreasonable if the number of little red stars he receives as a reward didn't increase several times over.

His intuition told him that he was about to become incredibly wealthy.

"Why does the wizard seem so happy?"

Black Widow nudged Coulson beside her, somewhat surprised.

As a skilled spy, Black Widow is extremely adept at reading people, so Jerry's change in expression just now naturally did not escape her notice.

"He probably thinks the matter will be resolved soon, and then he can go back to class!"

Coulson shrugged.

"I won't take that step. Now, I'm arresting you, Pierce!"

Nick Fury was completely unmoved by Pierce's charm and stepped forward to take him down.

Pierce, however, remained unfazed and turned to look at Jerry:

"Wizard, take them all down!"

Jerry: "Are you out of your mind?"

Upon hearing Pierce's order, Jerry immediately sensed that the other man was at his wit's end and then went insane.

They actually issued orders to him, their enemy.

Seeing everyone staring at him like he was an idiot, Pierce reached out and pressed a button on the table.

Immediately afterwards, a video appeared on the office wall.

The video consists of two shots. The left shot shows a police car driving on a sparsely populated road, driven by a middle-aged man who is close to forty years old.

The second shot is on a street, where a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old is riding a pink bicycle with her schoolbag on her back.

"Your father, Hathaway, and your sister, Elsa Hathaway. Oh, don't even think about attacking me. See that sensor in my ear? If there's any problem on my end, they'll take action over there."

At that point, I won't be able to guarantee whether your father and sister are alive or dead.

Also, I know you have the ability to teleport, but as soon as you disappear, I will give the same order. You can't be in two places at the same time.

So, wizard, you should know what to do. You don't want anything to happen to your father and sister, do you?

Pierce pointed at the screen, a smug smile on his face.

He had actually made two preparations for the possibility of a wizard becoming a variable.

The first tactic was the use of anti-wizard suits, but unfortunately, they didn't have much effect. The second tactic was to ambush a large number of agents along the daily routes of the wizard's two closest family members.

Since the wizard's house is fortified with all sorts of magical mechanisms, we should ambush him on the way his family leaves the house.

If such a situation arises, this is the best way to control the wizard.

"Snapped!"

Just as Pierce finished uttering his threat, his sensor was sliced ​​in two by an invisible blade and fell to the ground.

It was Jerry who casually threw out the Divine Sharp Shadowless Spell.

Upon seeing the earphone break and fall, Pierce's eyes widened in panic:

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me? If I lose contact, they'll act immediately. Damaging the sensors won't do you any good!"

He assumed the other person hadn't heard his explanation clearly.

However, Jerry just smiled:

"I know, I did it on purpose. I just wanted to tell you that you can't just mess with my family, because you'll only suffer the consequences!"

Queens, New York, 8:30 a.m.

Haas and Elsa waved goodbye to Belle, whose belly was already slightly protruding, and then left the villa.

The police station in Has and Elsa's school were not in the same direction, so after leaving the villa, the two parted ways, one driving to the left and the other riding a bicycle to the right.

Last year, Has would drive Elsa to school first, and then go to work at the police station himself. But this year, Elsa suddenly said she wanted to exercise, so she started riding her bicycle to school every day.

Hass doesn't see anything wrong with it; physical exercise is never a bad thing for children.

As usual, after leaving the villa, he drove directly to the police station. He wasn't driving fast, because since becoming the police chief, his life had become much more leisurely.

However, just as he was about to turn away from the villa area and head towards the highway, the black sedan that had been driving in front of him suddenly stopped.

Seeing that a collision was imminent, he reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes, barely managing to avoid a car accident.

Just as he was about to get out and check on the car in front, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

At that moment, seven or eight more cars of the same model sped out from behind and quickly surrounded his police car.

"What's going on?"

Just as he was completely bewildered, the doors of the seven or eight cars opened simultaneously, and more than thirty burly men rushed to his car, raising their rifles and aiming at him through the car windows, shouting fiercely:

"Mr. Haas Witt, please get off the bus now!"

Faced with dozens of burly men and dozens of well-equipped rifles, Haston swallowed hard.

Although he couldn't understand why he, a police chief, would be kidnapped in broad daylight, he had no choice but to comply given the circumstances.

The police car windows couldn't stop dozens of large-caliber rifles from firing.

However, just as he was about to push open the door to go out, he suddenly discovered that his old police car had undergone an unexpected miracle. The originally ordinary seats had suddenly transformed into a very high-tech cockpit.

At the same time, a high-tech helmet appeared on his head from the originally flat roof.

"Little Cannon at your service!"

An unfamiliar voice came from inside the helmet to Has's ears.

Has looked at everything in front of him, somewhat bewildered, and shouted loudly:

"Who is it? Who is speaking?"

"Hello Mr. Haas, I am an intelligent auxiliary combat mech from Galaxy 318. Due to an accident, I ended up on Earth and have been disguised as an ordinary car."

The little cannon read out all of its master's newly revised lines.

The gist of it is that it is an alien intelligent combat mech that accidentally came to Earth and has been disguised as an ordinary police car. Because it has spent a long time with Hass, it has developed feelings for him and decided to help him when it saw that he was in danger.

Most people might not believe Little Steel Cannon's absurd answer, but as a science fiction fan, Haas believed it immediately.

And then he excitedly began asking Little Cannon how to operate the mech in combat.

The combat controls are very simple; Haas simply puts on the helmet and controls it with his mind.

Meanwhile, to the elite Hydra agents outside, Haas's police car transformed into a somewhat old police car in less than a second, just like a Transformer.

It transformed into a gigantic robot, seven or eight meters tall, wielding a knife in its right hand, a shield in its left, a massive machine gun barrel on its left shoulder, and a massive rocket launcher on its right shoulder.

"Attack! Attack!"

Although they couldn't understand the bizarre phenomenon, the Hydra team leader immediately ordered his team to attack.

Instantly, countless bullets began to rain down on the giant robot.

The robot was initially stunned, but it quickly reacted, holding a heavy shield in one hand to block the bullets and a sharp, ten-meter-long sword in the other, and then swept it horizontally.

The powerful force instantly swept away the cars blocking the way, sending them flying and crashing into a group of Hydra agents who were attacking.

Then, he raised his big foot and started kicking and stomping wildly. The remaining Hydra agents had no chance to resist and were quickly all eliminated.

Upon hearing the siren from afar, Has inside the Little Steel Cannon thought for a moment, then controlled the Little Steel Cannon to leap dozens of meters high and disappear in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the little cannon disappeared, the house-elf who had been hiding nearby quickly appeared and used magic to restore the battlefield to normal.

It turns out that while Jerry's magical abilities were constantly improving, he didn't forget to protect his family's safety, and he spent a lot of time upgrading and modifying Has's little cannon.

The most important change is that the original "small cannon bodyguard" mode has been replaced with the current mech mode, which allows users to hide inside and personally control the mech in combat.

Firstly, it's safer to hide inside the machine, and secondly, considering Haas's hobby, he might enjoy piloting it himself in battle more.

To be honest, this most important modification didn't use any earth-shattering magical techniques. It was simply expanding a space inside the little steel cannon using a seamless stretching spell.

Then, using alchemy, he crafted a helmet with the ability to manipulate consciousness and attached it to the little cannon.

In this way, the little cannon can read Haas's thoughts and fight according to his ideas, but Haas himself feels that his own thoughts are controlling the little cannon to fight.

That was a pretty good experience.

Meanwhile, Elsa, who was riding her bike to school, encountered the same situation as Has, being surrounded by seven or eight cars.

However, unlike Haas's bewilderment, Elsa immediately became excited.

She chose to ride her bicycle to school every day, hoping to stumble upon something along the way that would make her, the mahjong-playing girl, make her debut.

So when she saw a group of menacing-looking men getting out of the car with guns, she immediately abandoned her bicycle and, amidst the puzzled gazes of the Hydra agents, rushed into the dead-end alley next to her.

The little green dragon danced, and mahjong tiles bounced up one by one. In less than ten seconds, all the Hydra agents who had followed him into the alley were lying on the ground.

Back at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, in the office of the Security Director.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at the giant robots in the two videos on the wall and the magical girl who kept throwing mahjong tiles and unleashing various spells.

This wizard is no ordinary person; none of his family members are easy to mess with either.

"I'm sorry, is it still useful for me to apologize now?"

Pierce stared at the two videos, which were completely dark, and then stiffly turned to look at Jerry, who had no expression on his face.

Jerry simply replied:

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for!"
