American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

Two days ago, Harvey traveled to the war-torn Middle East and found the headquarters of the notorious terrorist organization, the Ten Commandments.

He met with Wenwu, the leader of the Ten Commandments Gang, who was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years.

They then engaged in a brief, point-to-point "sparring" session.

The final result was a draw.

Of course, this is because Harvey didn't use his full strength.

However, in that sparring match, Wenwu only used two of the ten ring abilities.

Finally, both sides realized that they were not ordinary people, so they sat down to negotiate in an extremely hypocritical manner.

Harvey then proposed a deal.

Using miniature arc reactor technology, exchange the matter recombination ring and the psionic enhancement ring from the ten rings.

Wenwu has always dreamed of ruling the world, and if he possesses the technology of a miniature arc reactor, his dream could very well come true.

Therefore, the two cunning old foxes, each with their own ulterior motives, very amicably settled this deal.

However, in Harvey's mind, he definitely wouldn't trade honestly.

Why trade away precious skills when you could clearly win the rings on your own?

Isn't that just plain stupid?

Moreover, he believed that Wenwu must think the same way.

As for who will successfully double-cross and become the ultimate winner, Harvey is confident that the person will definitely be himself.

"I've got the bargaining chips. I'll go back and rest for a few days. After watching the farce of Iron Man battling the self-destructing truck Killian, I can 'borrow' the tenth ring to play with."

Chapter 63: Little Chili's Dark History?

With that in mind, Harvey went up the stairs to the second floor of the townhouse.

Facing the unconscious boy Harry Keener in the storeroom, he skillfully cast a forgetting spell, erasing the boy's memories of the last two days.

He then cast cleansing spells repeatedly to erase all traces of his presence.

Having confirmed there were no further problems, Harvey was preparing to open a portal to return to his estate in the northern suburbs of New York.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and stopped what he was doing.

"By the way, it seems that the Extremis Virus is also a kind of physique-enhancing serum, which should be beneficial for researching physique-enhancing potions."

Although the success rate of experiments with the Extremis virus is very low, and there is a risk of it turning into a self-destructing truck, it is still a valuable serum for enhancing physical fitness.

Harvey felt he couldn't miss out; he wanted to try any method that could help him research physique-enhancing potions.

After all, improving his physique to break through the upper limit of his total magic power and thus increase his strength had almost become his obsession.

Without hesitation, Harvey drew a circle in the air.

"Zizi-"

The portal opens.

Across the street is a manor located in eastern Miami.

Under the cover of night, Harvey cast an illusion spell on himself, becoming invisible as he stepped through the portal.

This is the base of the fake Mandarin in the original timeline. According to the timeline, Tony Stark and his best buddy, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, are currently imprisoned here.

However, when Harvey took a walk around, he was surprised to find that the fake Mandarin was indeed there.

Neither Lieutenant Colonel Roddy nor Tony Stark are here.

"Could it be... that the timeline has been affected?"

The thought of this possibility made his heart sink.

If I had to say what I least want to see, it would be the butterfly effect influencing the world's timeline.

Harvey took out his smartphone, logged into his Twitter account, and checked the latest news headlines.

When he saw that Air Force One had been hijacked and that War Machine had gone missing while trying to rescue it, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn it, this isn't how the story should go."

In the original timeline, it was clearly the war machine that was kidnapped along with the president.

But now, the plot has changed.

The presidential plane is hijacked first, and then the war machine comes to rescue it.

Although the plot hasn't changed much, this is something Harvey should be wary of.

"It seems I need to be more discreet in the future, otherwise the consequences of messing up the timeline would be unimaginable."

After making a worried decision in secret, Harvey pondered how he could obtain the Extremis serum quietly.

"Wait, I got it!"

He had come up with a brilliant idea, but he still had to figure out where to find Killian.

Teleportation and tracking spells are out of the question first, since there's no environmental imagery of the target, nor any medium like the target's hair or body cells.

And owl probably won't work either, as there are too many Muggles with the same common name as Killian.

Relying on owls to search will waste a lot of time, even if you find it.

Therefore, knowing only a name and brief identity information, it would be difficult to find Killian in a short time using magic.

Harvey isn't someone who doesn't know how to adapt.

Since magic won't work, let's try technology.

If technology fails, then we'll rely on existing information to make inferences!

He's watched hundreds of episodes of Detective Conan, so his reasoning ability is definitely top-notch.

Through artificial intelligence and big data analysis, the exact location of Killian was determined.

This is a good approach, but unfortunately Harvey doesn't have an AI like Jarvis.

Therefore, he could only rely on reasoning.

Based on the clues we have so far, finding Killian shouldn't be too difficult.

After all, he was a prophet and knew a lot about the events of the original timeline.

For example, there's that cargo ship docked in a port where Killian plans to livestream the president's suicide.

Or, from another perspective, all they need to do is find Killian's archenemy, Tony Stark.

By following Iron Man, you can naturally find Killian.

Having figured everything out, Harvey, who was prepared in advance, took out a strand of Tony Stark's hair as a medium.

Cast a tracking spell.

A white dotted line appeared out of nowhere and continued to extend in the southeast direction.

Without "flying on a sword," it would still be too slow.

Harvey opened portals one hundred kilometers at a time, then cast a tracking spell.

This process was repeated 17 times, covering a distance of over 1700 kilometers, until they arrived at New York Harbor.

This is one of the largest seaports in the United States, located on both sides of the Hudson River estuary, in Upper New York Bay at the western end of Long Island, bordering the northwest side of the Atlantic Ocean.

The annual cargo throughput of the Port of New York reaches 500 million TEUs.

When Xavi arrived at Bayonne Pier, it was already 11 p.m.

The dock remains busy and noisy.

Highly automated loading and unloading equipment, including shore cranes, gantry cranes, container cranes, and floating cranes, are loading containers onto cargo ships.

The white dashed line extends to berth number 170.

A large cargo ship fully loaded with containers was docked there.

The large cargo ship, painted in red and black, had very few crew members, and even the large searchlights on the shore were turned off.

This meant that Harvey could only vaguely see a few figures patrolling the ship's side on the deck.

"Sneaky behavior, there's definitely something wrong with this ship!"

Using the illusion spell, he easily bypassed all the patrolling crew members and made his way from the cargo ship's bridge to the lower crew quarters.

By eavesdropping on the crew's conversations.

Harvey learned that their boss's room was located in the captain's cabin on the lower deck of the cargo ship.

Following the signs for each compartment of the cargo ship, he found the door to the captain's cabin.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

He cast a door-opening spell to open the metal hatch, but before he could even step inside, he heard a seductive, suggestive sound.

"Good heavens, it seems this Killian isn't any better. It's only just nightfall, and he's already going all out."

While the illusion spell was still in effect, Harvey brazenly walked into a luxurious room that was clearly a level above the ordinary crew rest room.

His gaze casually swept across the living room, then, following the direction from which the sound came, he gently pushed open the half-closed bedroom door.

In the bedroom with the incandescent light on.

He could clearly see his target: Killian, with his muscular physique and short blond hair, was lying on top of a somewhat familiar blonde beauty.

"This woman...doesn't she look like Pepper Potts?"

When Harvey recognized the woman, his jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.

I never expected this, I never expected this.

It turns out that Little Chili has such a shocking dark history!

That makes sense, though in the original storyline, after Killian kidnapped Pepper, it seemed he only injected her with the Extremis virus.

The events that occurred during the two days and two nights of the kidnapping were only briefly mentioned.

However, judging from Killian's obsessive desire for revenge against Tony Stark...
