Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 814 Negotiation (First Update)

After having lunch prepared by Martha at the farm, Clark and Jerry flew towards the temporary operations command post outside Metropolis.

At this moment, Clark changed into the El family's bio-suit that he had obtained from the Kryptonian probe ship, which was the Superman suit with the S logo and cape.

However, unlike the strange design of Jerry's traditional image, where he wears his red underwear on the outside, this cosmic superhero's suit is obviously much more normal.

Because this suit comes from the technologically advanced planet Krypton, and was designed by Jor-El, the father of Krypton's greatest scientist, Clark, it is more than just decorative.

Jerry activated the analytical magic circle to scan it and found that it was not only indestructible and extremely tough, but also bulletproof, resistant to extremely high temperatures, and resistant to absolute zero.

Although Superman is invulnerable to bullets and blades, possesses immense strength, and can even survive nuclear bombs, he has relatively poor resistance to magical energy.

The material of Superman's suit can help Superman resist magical attacks to a certain extent.

This is why Jerry, despite possessing powerful magical abilities, remains wary of Zod and other Kryptonians.

Zod's suits may not be as good as Superman's, but they are made of the same materials and technology.

Of course, while these suits are powerful, they have a fatal weakness, just like the Kryptonians: they can be easily torn apart with a small Kryptonite.

Jerry doesn't have any Kryptonite right now. If he had one Kryptonite and could analyze it, he could use the Transfiguration Charm to create a large amount of Kryptonite, making it incredibly easy to defeat the Kryptonians.

Unfortunately, Earth doesn't have Kryptonite yet. In this universe, Kryptonite is a byproduct left over from the Kryptonian world's engine terraforming planets.

The kryptonite that Batman and Lex Luthor found in the Indian Ocean in the movie was just a tiny bit produced when Zod used the Kryptonian world engine to terraform Earth.

The moment Jerry and Clark appeared above the command center, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing the two people floating in the air without any support, all the weapons in the combat command were activated and aimed at them, and the soldiers all showed incredulous expressions.

A moment later, a black sedan, escorted by several combat jeeps, arrived in front of Jerry and Clark.

"Very well, you've successfully caught my attention. I'd like to ask, who exactly is the alien, or are you both one of them?"

General Swanwick got out of the car, looked at Jerry on his left and then at Clark on his right, a puzzled expression on his face.

Both of them were now floating in the air. The man on the left was dressed in normal human clothes, but his appearance was the same as that of the person who took Louise away, as described by the FBI agent.

The one on the right, his clothes don't look like what a normal human on Earth would wear.

So now he can't figure out which of the two is the alien.

Upon seeing the base's commander-in-chief appear, Clark and Jerry slowly landed on the ground.

"I am the Kal-El that Zod is looking for, and also the alien you are looking for. He is my Earth friend, not an alien."

Clark introduced himself.

Jerry casually chimed in:

"That's right, my name is Jerry Carmen, a pure Earthling, a magician from Gotham. The levitation you just saw me floating in the air was actually a magic trick, while his ability to levitate is an alien superpower."

General Swanwick's lips twitched upon hearing this; he didn't believe that what Jerry had just done was some kind of bizarre magic show.

Floating in the air is a magic show, so is freezing fifteen elite federal agents and teleporting away with this one person also a magic show?

However, now is clearly not the time to investigate Jerry's identity, because the 24 hours General Zod mentioned are not far off, and they must escort the alien Kal-El to the designated location to avoid war.

"What do you want?"

General Svanwick looked at Clark with a grave expression.

Clark replied:

"I am willing to surrender and will not resist, but you must agree to two conditions."

"What are the conditions?"

General Svanwick's expression relaxed slightly.

If the other party is willing to surrender and not resist, then the matter is half successful.

Otherwise, both of them can fly, and one of them can teleport. If they really don't want to surrender, it will be difficult for them to keep them here even if they try to force them to.

"First, you must ensure that you do not cause trouble for Louise afterward and that her charge of treason is dropped."

Secondly, I need my friends to be with me.

Clark replied.

General Svanwick thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. In his view, neither of these conditions was particularly harsh, and compared to the peace of the Earth, they were even less important.

"no problem."

After agreeing on the terms, General Svanwick gave a nod to his adjutant, and soon a squad of fully armed soldiers came up to Clark.

The captain took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed them directly to Clark's hands. Clark shook his head but did not resist.

The handcuffs looked like paper in his hands, but since they made the human general feel more at ease, he figured he might as well wear them.

After handcuffing Clark, the captain took out a pair of gloves and was about to put them on Jerry as well.

Jerry didn't have Clark's good temper; he snapped his fingers and turned the glove into paper.

"I'm not an alien, and I haven't committed any crime, so don't handcuff me. You're maliciously depriving me of my freedom, and I'll sue you."

Superman wants to cultivate a good relationship with the human government and gain their trust, but Jerry doesn't need to at all. Even if the entire human government issues a warrant for his arrest, it won't affect him much.

Therefore, he naturally didn't need to give these people a friendly look.

The captain looked at the paper handcuffs in his hand, then turned to General Svanwick with a blank expression. General Svanwick's lips twitched, and then he gently shook his head.

Of course he wasn't afraid of Jerry hiring a lawyer to sue him; he had the president behind him, and this was for the safety of all humanity—special circumstances could be handled specially.

However, it is clearly not advisable to create unnecessary trouble now, especially since the other party is not someone who can be easily manipulated. If a conflict arises, it could affect the subsequent coordination with General Zod, which would be problematic.

So, on the way back to headquarters, Clark was handcuffed and soldiers grabbed his arms to prevent him from escaping, while Jerry swaggered around as if he were at home.
