A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 52 The Purple Man is Doomed!

Having obtained the information he wanted and feeling completely at ease, Li Wei went home and slept soundly.

When he woke up the next day, he found that his father had left sometime earlier, and as before, he had left only a note saying that he had to go on a business trip, that the money would be transferred to his account on time, and that he should study hard with Master Gu Yi.

As for dropping out of school?

They didn't even mention it.

So what if it's a world-renowned university? It can't compare to Kamar-Taj.

Kamar-Taj is just a place with rules and regulations.

Otherwise, worldly wealth and status would be readily available.

For Li Wei, it was wonderful that Li Feng didn't care about him.

However, one has to admit that being a secret agent is incredibly busy.

Li Feng's state reminded Li Wei of Phil Coulson, the face of S.H.I.E.L.D.

That's like being a brick, ready to be moved wherever needed.

I hope my cheapskate father won't end up like Coulson, dying young.

After confirming that Li Feng had indeed left, Li Wei went directly to Tony's villa, then took the sleepy-eyed world's richest man to the Alliance headquarters, where he gathered Frank and the three generations of Black Widows who had just arrived in New York the day before.

"What happened? Why did you have to call us all over so early in the morning?" Tony asked, puzzled, while munching on a donut and drinking coffee.

The three Black Widows looked at Li Wei with confusion upon hearing this.

They thought that Levi and Tony, as their new bosses, were there to set rules for them.

It turns out there's a new mission, and it seems Tony, the "big boss," doesn't even know about it.
After all, Li Wei had never revealed his secrets or those about the future to Black Widow.

Based on their previous understanding, since the Alliance was funded and established by Tony, he should be the "big boss".

Li Wei, this mage, is probably just a participant in the alliance, like them, except that he has a good relationship with Tony.

However, judging from today's situation, this does not seem to be the case.

Furthermore, Frank seemed to only take orders from Levi.

This means they will have to reassess Li Wei's position within the alliance.

As for Frank?
He was like a soldier listening to orders from his superior, listening attentively to Li Wei's speech, displaying the demeanor of a professional soldier.

“Just last night after I got back, I got information about a supervillain hiding in New York, and this supervillain has a tiny bit of connection to us!” Li Wei said.

"Last night?" Tony was stunned. Didn't they just arrive in New York last night?
The Black Widows were also surprised.

“That’s right, it was after we came back last night, Tony. I’m a sorcerer, remember? I have a lot of sorcerer friends, and I got this information from them!” Li Wei said. The information was confirmed by the Ancient One, the ruler of Kamar-Taj, so what he said wasn’t wrong.

"Uh... okay." Tony paused, then remembered that there was a group of mages behind Levi. "So who is that person? You mean a supervillain, the kind with special abilities, right? And related to us? Don't tell me it's that Obadiah guy's doing again!"

Tony was a little annoyed when Obama was mentioned.

They had initially considered sparing Obama's life, after all, he was a true veteran of Stark Industries.

I was thinking of just letting him stay in prison for the rest of his life.

But the events in Hungary made him truly want to kill.

If what Li Wei said today was also caused by that guy, then he'll have to have Bucky have a heart-to-heart talk with him later.

“No, to be precise, it’s not about us, but about something we possess, Melina!” Levi shook his head and then looked at Melina. “Me?” Melina pointed to herself, completely bewildered.

No, why?

Since fleeing the United States in 95, she has almost always lived in seclusion in St. Petersburg, conducting research.

How could a notorious criminal from New York City be connected to her?
What Li Wei said next shocked her even more.

“Pheromone!” Li Wei said. “The other party has mastered pheromones and has been using them to control people to do evil, to control young and beautiful girls for their own pleasure, to control others to provide them with money and convenience, and to control others to kill or commit suicide!”

Very well, the people present were already ready to punch the moment they heard the first point.

Tony was treated like he could sleep with whomever he wanted, without even having to choose.

Frank was thinking about his beautiful, deceased daughter.

As for the three Black Widows? They are women, after all.

So, although the people present didn't know who Li Wei was talking about, they had basically sentenced this guy to death in their minds, just like Li Wei had before.

only……

“That’s impossible. I’ve been working on the pheromones for six months, and I haven’t even given them to Drekoff. How could they possibly appear in New York?” Melina was very puzzled.

"Don't rush me. I didn't say that the pheromones he used were made by you. I just said that he has pheromones. Don't forget the foundation of your pheromone research!" Li Wei explained.

"A blueprint for the basal ganglia?" Melina immediately thought of it.

"The Northern Research Institute?" Tony also thought of the information Levi had given him before they took action against the Red Room.

“The Northern Research Institute?” X2. Natasha and Yelena both looked at Melina. Back when they were undercover in Ohio, the two of them played the roles of Melina and Red Guardian Alexeyk’s daughter. Although they were young at the time, they still knew that their “father’s” workplace was the Northern Research Institute.

“But the relevant research data has been destroyed!” Melina said. She understood what Levi meant; someone must have also used the basal ganglia blueprint to create pheromones.

The problem is that Alexeyk destroyed the original document after he stole it.

"What's so strange about that? Data isn't uncopyable. How can you be sure you stole the only copy?" Tony asked, puzzled.

Melina was speechless for a moment... In truth, she was somewhat unwilling to accept that her research was not unique, so she instinctively rejected the possibility.

Li Wei responded, "Let alone Melina."

If this information hadn't come from the Ancient One, even he wouldn't have believed this answer.

According to the comics, while the Purple Man also uses a type of pheromone, the source of his physical mutation is an experimental poison gas used by the US military, and it has nothing to do with the Northern Research Institute.

In Netflix's Marvel spin-off series, Jessica is broke—no, I mean Jones.

Not only did the purple man's background change, but the source of his abilities also became his parents' research.

However, Li Wei still couldn't connect the two.

In the series, the researcher of the Purple Man's abilities, who is also the Purple Man's father, said that the Purple Man's abilities are like a "virus" that requires a vaccine to combat.

This led Li Wei to subconsciously believe that the purple-haired man released a virus, thus ignoring the fact that the virus was merely a descriptive term in this context.

This makes it even less likely that Li Wei would connect the Purple Man with pheromones.

However, since the Ancient One confirmed this answer, it is highly unlikely that it was wrong.

In that case, not only is Zi Ren himself a problem, but his parents also have big problems!
