Time flew by, and it was now October. One afternoon, Andrew was teaching Miss Scarlett as usual.
Miss Scarlett held a magic pen and meticulously drew magic runes on the chest of the battle suit. After all the runes were drawn, she added magic patterns between them, combining dozens of runes into a magic array.
This process required extreme caution, as any error could cause the magic array to explode.
During this time, Miss Scarlett not only mastered a large number of runes but also learned to draw magic arrays. It must be said that her talent in magic was truly exceptional.
Half an hour later, Miss Scarlett, drenched in sweat, completed the final stroke. The magic array was fully formed, and both the magic patterns and magic runes simultaneously lit up with dazzling light.
Miss Scarlett was overjoyed. She pressed her hands down on the magic array, and it quickly merged into the battle suit, disappearing from sight.
This meant the enchantment was completely successful.
Andrew nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this magic array can last for at least five years. Miss Scarlett, congratulations, you have successfully enchanted it."
Miss Scarlett had been able to enchant before, but those runes only lasted for a period of time and couldn't be considered true enchantments. Only now had Miss Scarlett truly become an enchanter.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Wang's excellent teaching."
Miss Scarlett said gratefully. The longer she spent with Andrew, the more she admired his talent and knowledge.
To be honest, if Andrew didn't already have girlfriends, and more than one, Miss Scarlett would definitely actively pursue him, even if his personality was terrible when he wasn't teaching.
What? How did Miss Scarlett know about this? Of course, Andrew himself said it. As a traditional magician who had lived for several hundred years, wasn't it normal to have a few girlfriends?
Of course, Miss Scarlett didn't know exactly who Andrew's girlfriends were; she only knew that Andrew had several girlfriends.
"That, I don't deny…"
Andrew was speaking when a piercing phone ringtone suddenly blared from Miss Scarlett's backpack, like a battle alarm.
Andrew asked, "Another emergency call?"
"Yes, I hope there won't be another disaster like last time."
Miss Scarlett nodded, walked over, and picked up her phone to answer.
The call was from General Hawk. He said anxiously, "Scarlett, report back to duty immediately. The McCullen Group's nanobots warheads have been stolen. We must find them immediately, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
Oh, and bring Tony Stark with you. We need his wisdom."
"Understood."
Miss Scarlett's expression changed, and she quickly responded. This incident was even more serious than the last. Last time, at most, a president died; this time, the whole world was in danger.
Miss Scarlett put down her phone and said to Andrew, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I have to rush over immediately."
Andrew waved his hand indifferently, saying, "Go ahead. Anyway, today's lesson is almost over. Be careful, don't overexert yourself. If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, remember to mention my name."
Miss Scarlett asked curiously, "Mentioning your name, will it be useful?"
Andrew feigned contemplation and said, "Probably not."
Miss Scarlett was speechless. She rolled her eyes, activated her teleportation boots, and headed to Stark Industries.
"Is it the G.I. Joe plot? Nanotechnology?"
Andrew's eyes flickered. Just then, his phone rang. He picked up the phone and asked with a smile, "Miss Gwen, checking up on me again?"
"Who's checking up? I've arrived in Paris. Just calling to let you know I'm safe."
Gwen immediately denied it—she had gone to Paris with other classmates to visit a biology experiment.
"Gwen."
Andrew's tone suddenly became incredibly low. He said, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry?"
Gwen's heart sank. Had Andrew really sparked something with his beautiful apprentice?
Gwen's right hand, holding the phone, trembled slightly. She asked, feigning calmness, "Why the sudden apology?"
"Because I'm also in Paris."
This sentence didn't come from the phone but sounded from behind Gwen.
Gwen froze, then quickly turned around to see Andrew standing behind her. She put down her phone and asked excitedly, "Andrew, how did you get here?"
Andrew stepped forward and hugged Gwen, saying, "The Eiffel Tower is about to disappear. I specially came to see it."
"Nonsense, how could the Eiffel Tower disappear?"
Gwen said, touched, "You came specially for me, didn't you?"
Andrew said, "Yes, to keep you from overthinking every day. Also, while you're not busy these next few days, let's have a good time in Paris."
Gwen leaned against Andrew and said, "I'll definitely spend these next few days with you."
…
At Stark Industries, Tony and Doctor Banner were testing the giant battle suit Veronica. Doctor Banner analyzed the data on the screen and nodded, saying, "Basically no problems, Veronica is a success."
"That's great. The next time we encounter Rampage Creatures, we won't be helpless anymore."
Tony was very excited. He said, "I plan to mount it on a satellite, so it can be deployed to any City in North America at any time."
Doctor Banner asked, "Are there any technical issues?"
"No problem. After the Space Station incident, I've been researching satellites, and mounting Veronica is effortless."
Tony said, "The Oil Interest Groups gave me a huge chunk of meat a while ago. I'm planning a 'Earth Armor Project'."
Doctor Banner was puzzled: "Earth Armor Project?"
"Simply put, it's giving Earth a suit of armor, so it won't be helpless against Alien, like a naked beauty."
Tony said, "Of course, this isn't so easy. I need to pull in a few more partners, for example, Rebirth Group. That Andrew Wang guy is super good at making money; his total assets are even more than mine now."
"In terms of making money and high-tech, Mr. Wang doesn't act like an angel at all."
Doctor Banner chuckled. Just then, Jarvis prompted, "Mr. Stark, Miss Scarlett is here, saying she needs your help with a matter of utmost urgency."
"Shit, something's happened again."
Tony and Doctor Banner cursed simultaneously. Both quickly tidied up their battle suits and went to the office to see Miss Scarlett.
"nanobots warheads stolen?"
After hearing what Miss Scarlett said, Tony asked, furious and shocked, "Are you kidding me? Such important things can be stolen? What are you military personnel doing?"
Miss Scarlett shook her head and said, "General Hawk said that the enemy's technology is very advanced, even having particle wave energy weapons."
Doctor Banner interjected, "Tony, don't be so angry. Also, what are nanobots warheads?"
"It's a super big problem."
Tony said, with a headache, "nanobots warheads are super weapons commissioned by the American Military for the McCullen Group to research. Each warhead contains seven million nanobots, which can corrode most metals.
Furthermore, once the nanobots warheads are released, unless the corresponding circuit breakers are activated, they will not stop and will continue to corrode all surrounding metal."
After a pause, Tony said with a serious expression, "If nanobots warheads are released within a City, within a day, the City will turn into a ruin, a ruin without any metal."
"Shit."
Even an honest person like Doctor Banner couldn't help but curse, "Why would the American Military research this stuff? Do they think humans aren't dying fast enough?"
"To deal with Alien warships, at least, that's what they say officially. As for their hidden intentions, you can only ask them yourselves."
Tony snorted. The American Military only ever dragged their feet.
Miss Scarlett said, "Let's not talk about that. Mr. Stark, I'll take you to the special forces base. We need your help."
Tony shook his head and said, "There's no need to go to the special forces. If you have any clues, tell me immediately, and I will do my best to help you find the enemy and retrieve the nanobots warheads."
"Okay."
Miss Scarlett immediately called General Hawk. A moment later, General Hawk's holographic projection appeared in the office.
Then, General Hawk projected an image of a beautiful woman in leather and said, "The woman who stole the nanobots warheads is this woman. According to Duke, her name is Anna, and she was once his fiancée. We don't know why she suddenly became an armed militant."
Duke was the commander of the American Military's special operations team, responsible for escorting the nanobots warheads. However, Anna and her people hijacked them halfway, leaving only him and a Black man nicknamed Ripcord alive from the entire team.
Tony immediately said, "Jarvis, ask Alice for help. Monitor all cameras worldwide, including mobile phone cameras, to find this woman named Anna.
Also, based on the picture, search for all her information. I want to know everything about her."
"Controlling mobile phone cameras? Isn't that too much of an invasion of personal privacy?"
Doctor Banner asked, displeased. Tony said irritably, "Don't look at me like I'm an asshole. It's not just me who does this. The America intelligence agencies and S.H.I.E.L.D. have all done similar things.
So-called privacy is just used to deceive the public."
"Shit, damn America, damn S.H.I.E.L.D."
Doctor Banner cursed, took out his phone from his pocket, and manually destroyed the camera.
General Hawk said, "We are also using the same method to search."
Doctor Banner was speechless. He added in his mind, damn American Military.
"Your speed can't even compare to Jarvis, let alone Alice."
Tony asked, "Jarvis, has Alice agreed to help?"
Jarvis replied, "Alice has already agreed to help and is rapidly searching for Anna."
"Very good."
Tony said, "With Alice's computing power, as soon as Anna appears in front of any networked camera, she will be discovered immediately."
"That's good then."
General Hawk nodded, secretly making a note of this matter in his mind—the American Military's computing system needed an upgrade.
They couldn't let military technology be inferior to civilian technology, could they?
Tony asked, "General Hawk, have you contacted the McCullen Group? Do they have a backup circuit breaker?"
General Hawk shook his head and said, "No, each nanobots warhead only has one corresponding circuit breaker. If that circuit breaker is destroyed, the nanobots will never stop."
"Really? He actually doesn't leave a backdoor in his weapons?"
Tony looked suspicious. Everyone looked at him in astonishment. Tony gave an awkward smile and quickly changed the subject: "Send me the combat video. I'll study their particle wave energy weapons."
Everyone cursed in their hearts: "Scheming merchant."
