Hey, you're the first one to mess with my sister in front of me! What's your name, kid?
Johnny didn't notice Reed's somewhat displeased expression beside him as he aggressively questioned Vincent.
"My name is... Max Eisenhardt." Vincent didn't use his real name, instead casually giving one. He glanced at Lorna beside him: "This is..."
"I'm his sister, Polaris!" Lorna suddenly stepped forward, hugging Vincent's arm and saying sweetly.
"Sister?" Johnny, Reed, and Susan were all stunned.
No matter how they looked, the two didn't seem to have any blood relation!
"She is indeed my sister. I was adopted by her family, so..." Vincent improvised, filling in the plot hole, his eyes dimming with emotion.
He'd give his acting a perfect score!
"So that's how it is." Johnny suddenly understood, then asked, "Are you two out alone?"
"I can't help it, Polaris insisted on going shopping in downtown Los Angeles this weekend." Vincent sighed helplessly, turning to Susan: "Sister, can you let go of me now?"
This was a trick of speech.
This made it sound as if Susan's body had grabbed Vincent's hand.
Susan also thought it was due to her powers going out of control, and apologized: "I... I'll try." She looked to Reed for help.
Reed comforted them: "Kids, I'll figure out a way to separate you. For now, just consider it a free tour of Los Angeles that I'm giving you!"
"That's great." Vincent appropriately showed an expression of being tempted. He and Lorna didn't want to expose their identities and abilities.
There was another point.
Guan Luo had already communicated with Vincent telepathically. Not only the Thing they just saw and the invisible Susan, but also Reed and young Johnny, all had very peculiar energy within their bodies.
Among them, the body energy of Susan and Johnny, the two siblings, was the strongest!
Reed secretly breathed a sigh of relief, also finding it a bit comical that he had just been jealous of a child.
His rival was at most Viktor, a tall, rich, and handsome CEO of the same age. How could it be an ordinary boy who looked underage...
"Since we've found Thing, let's go back to the company first." Johnny said, looking at the Thing not far away.
Reed was about to say something. But just then, on the bridge foundation road opposite.
Accompanied by a huge roar, a construction truck accelerated all the way, suddenly lost control and overturned on the ground, scraping a fiery spark against the surface, and rushed towards the accident scene!
Screams filled the air, and countless onlookers fled in panic!
Lorna, holding Vincent's arm, narrowed her eyes. With her back to Susan and the others, she let one of her small hands drop down—
However, before she could use her ability.
There was another "boom"!
A tall, orange-yellow figure rushed forward. The Thing spread his rocky arms, like a human boulder, and powerfully blocked the construction truck head-on! The front of the construction truck continuously caved inward, pushing the Thing back a few meters, leaving two clearly visible plow Marks, before finally coming to a stop on the bridge foundation road.
A burst of cheers immediately erupted from the people on the scene.
This strength isn't bad.
Vincent secretly evaluated this scene. Although far from the level of Abomination or Hulk, his pure strength was already comparable to the Super Spider Physique.
Looking at this big guy, strength might only be secondary; his true strength is his defense.
After all, his appearance has become this monstrous...
The disaster at the scene was not over yet; it felt like the God of Death had arrived.
From the back of the construction truck, which the Thing had stopped, a metal bottle containing an unknown substance fell out. After rolling a few times on the ground, it suddenly exploded, and raging flames immediately spread to the surrounding vehicles!
"Follow me." Susan, as if sensing something, rushed forward. Vincent, whose hand was still held by her, could only follow, which made Lorna let out a light laugh.
"I can do it, I can do it!"
Susan muttered to herself, self-hypnotizing. She suddenly extended her hands forward, and immediately a tangible energy shield was generated, appearing as a blue, translucent flow, directly covering the outside of the flames!
The highly tense and serious Susan didn't notice.
At this moment, a similar blue energy color flashed in Vincent's eyes. He vaguely sensed that now he was not just physically connected to Susan; their abilities and energy were also linked through their bodies as a bridge!
This was a peculiar phenomenon that had never happened before.
Was it due to the characteristics of Susan's ability? Invisibility, and now this energy shield? It's probably much more than that...
And so.
To Susan's own astonishment, the energy shield easily enveloped the ball of flames, then quickly closed in, extinguishing the flames inside!
"Well done!" Johnny cheered, punching the air.
Lorna beside him quietly lowered her small hand.
"Let's go back first, don't stay outside."
Seeing more and more people paying attention to them, Reed spoke, glancing at Vincent and Lorna: "You two kids come along too."
Vincent and Lorna exchanged glances, both politely not refusing. Now they were just playing the role of an ordinary brother and sister...
Kamar-Taj, ancient training ground.
Master Mordo, as always, led the Sorcerers of the Holy Land in daily, yearly magical practice.
What was different today was that.
Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi, the Lord of the Holy Land, personally visited the ancient training ground. Not only that, she also specially brought a young girl from outside to observe!
Was the Sorcerer Supreme going to take on another disciple? And this disciple wasn't someone who came to seek knowledge on their own, but rather someone who was brought in directly from outside as if with special privilege!
Master Mordo, who was somewhat arrogant, couldn't help but feel a hint of displeasure. He explained to the Sorcerers below:
"Although you already know this, I must say it again."
"The language of the mystic arts has existed since the dawn of civilization. Ancient Sorcerers called it a spell, which is a source code that constructs reality."
"We Sorcerers primarily draw powerful energy from other Worlds in the Multiverse, and with spells, we can unleash extraordinary magic such as summoning shields and forging weapons. But this process is not something that can be done just by wanting to; even the most gifted person needs diligent practice, year after year!"
"Now, let's practice the most basic magical prerequisite." Master Mordo said this, then softly chanted an obscure and peculiar incantation. As he swept his hands forward, a golden line sparking with fire immediately appeared in the air!
The other Sorcerers also began to repeat his movements, silently chanting the incantation in their hearts, and all drew out golden lines of light.
Beside the ancient training ground.
Little Wanda, standing quietly next to Ancient One, wide-eyed. She listened and watched the people practicing in the field intently. She glanced sideways at Ancient One, who was dressed in robes, her small mouth slightly opening and closing as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.
Sorcerer Ancient One smiled at her and gestured: "Do whatever you want."
"Is it like this?" Wanda took a deep breath, clearly and pleasantly repeating the incantation Mordo had just said, raising her small hand upwards—
As her fair and delicate right hand gently waved, a golden line immediately ignited and shone in the air!
