A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 139 The Contract of Saint-Van González
The following day, Levi, along with Shakora, went to Texas without informing the other members of the alliance.

This matter was actually more of a private affair between Li Wei and Shakora.

Therefore, Li Wei did not abuse public power for private gain, but instead listed it as a public task of the alliance.

Moreover, notifying them doesn't really make much sense.

After all, this matter falls under the magic category, and even if others came, they wouldn't be able to help much.

Moreover, this matter is not troublesome; the key is simply to find the previous Ghost Rider, Carter Sorey.

And Carter Shrew isn't hard to find either—all you need to know is where Johnny's father is buried.

Levi doesn't remember much about the Ghost Rider movie anymore, but there's one thing he does remember.

That Johnny's first transformation, his crazy night, and his subsequent trip to the graveyard guarded by Carter Shrew was no coincidence—nor was it anyone's design.

It was because his father, Barton Blazer, was buried there.

So Li Wei only needed to do a little research to find the location of the cemetery.

“This is it!” Looking at the tranquil cemetery before him, Levi said to Shakora beside him, “The cemetery keeper here is the previous Ghost Rider. Mephisto ordered him to retrieve the San Venganza Contract, but he chose to betray him and went into hiding here with the contract.”

“Ha, yet another traitor… These old fogies always think they have a unique eye and can choose the best knights. In the end, the knights they choose are indeed excellent, but this excellence has all ‘returned’ on themselves.” Shakora couldn’t help but mock after hearing about Carter Slade’s experience.

Although she had been asleep for thousands of years, she had witnessed many Ghost Riders and Hell Riders before that.

Veteran demon lords like Mephisto often like to pull off some unconventional moves, such as choosing a knight with great potential for themselves.

However, great potential often means uncontrollability.

Therefore, almost all knights of this type often choose to betray their masters because their will is too strong.

Carter Shrew is an example.

The same goes for Johnny Blaze.

But those veteran demon lords are still enjoying it.

To be honest, as a second-generation demon, Shakora really doesn't understand the actions of these old guys.

“…Um, is it possible that this is just a game that those old guys played because they were bored?” After hearing what Shakora said, Levi thought for a moment and then said.

After all, those old guys that Shakora was talking about were really old guys who had lived for countless millennia. If they hadn't found some fun, their lives would have been quite boring.

"Maybe, but risking your life to play games is just outrageous!" Xia Ke said, tugging at the corner of her mouth.

She could certainly understand Li Wei's explanation.

Needless to say, even those old guys, Shakora, though only a few thousand years old, would get bored and would look for some fun.

But no matter how much she plays around, she won't risk her life.

That's right... there are a few hell lords who lost their lives because they went too far playing the knight game.

"That's true!" Li Wei nodded seriously upon hearing this. If someone really didn't want to live, they could give him their life. There was really no need for them to seek death themselves.

As the two were talking, they found the chapel where Carter Shrew lived in the cemetery, and Carter Shrew waiting solemnly inside the chapel.

"Demon, how dare you set foot on this sacred land!!" Carter Slade, holding a shotgun, aimed it at Shakora and Levi, and roared, "Take your lackeys and get out of here!"

"Wait, lackey? You mean me?" Li Wei looked around, pointed to himself, and looked incredulous. "Hahahaha, is there someone else here?" Xia Kela laughed.

"To willingly degenerate and associate with the devil, am I wrong to say that?" Carter Slade looked at him with disdain.

“…Mr. Carter Slay, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m from Kamar-Taj, and I’m here to discuss the San Vanganza Pact with you.” Levi said, forcing a smile and suppressing the urge to explode.

He still held a certain amount of respect for this Death Knight who dared to betray the demonic pact and had guarded the San Venganza Pact for over a hundred years.

If it were someone else who came up and started criticizing him, he would have already fired an ice arrow at them.

And you call me a lackey of the devil? Don't you Ghost Riders have any self-awareness?

"Karmar-Taj? Your lies are so unoriginal. Come on, if you dare, you're dreaming if you want the San Venganza Contract!" However, Carter Slade didn't believe a word of Li Wei's explanation.

"Tsk...this is really a headache!" Faced with the stubborn Carter Slytherin, Levi was at his wits' end and really didn't want to resort to force.

But surely it's not like we need to ask the Ancient One to handle such a small matter?
"Why waste time talking to him? Just arrest him and interrogate him!" Shakora said impatiently, but her attitude wasn't directed at Levi, but at Carter; she hated these stubborn old men the most.

However, despite saying that, she herself did not take any action.

Because she cannot take the initiative, otherwise she would be violating the contract she signed with the Ancient One.

Therefore, the only ones who could take the initiative on the spot were Li Wei and Carter.

“No, no, Mr. Sorey, I’m telling the truth. I understand the importance of the San Van Gonzalez Pact, which is why I made an alliance pact with this lady. Believe me, she won’t pose any threat to Earth,” Levi reassured Carter again.

"I will absolutely not hand over the San Venganza Contract to any demon!" Li Wei's calm and sincere attitude softened Carter Slay's attitude towards him slightly, but his attitude towards the contract remained unchanged: "Even if the Sorcerer Supreme himself comes, it won't work."

"So, there's really no room for negotiation?" Hearing Carter say that even the title of Sorcerer Supreme wasn't being used, Li Wei knew that without resorting to force today, things were probably really hopeless.

"Nothing to discuss!" Carter Slade's attitude was very firm!
Okay, so this is occupational discrimination, huh? Johnny Blazer didn't ask for it, and you offered it to him voluntarily.

I'd rather die than give it to you!

Okay, then don't blame me.

Before Carter Slade could react, Levi used a penguin transformation spell to throw him over.

Carter Slade then became a little penguin running around everywhere.

Upon seeing the spell again, Shakora's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

In her view, this transformation spell completely violated the conventional rules of magic and was utterly unreasonable.

That's normal. Li Wei's professional skills and spells all follow the rules of Azeroth. Being able to use them in this world is clearly a case of being given the green light.

They just won't reason with you.

"Do you know where he hid the contract?" Shakora couldn't help but ask as she watched Levi transform Carter and then leave him aside, heading straight for the chapel.

Li Wei didn't answer. He stopped in front of the church, picked up the seemingly inconspicuous shovel that Carter Slay had placed by the door, and shoveled it to the ground.

Although the transformed Carter Slay could not control his actions, he still retained his self-awareness and his pupils widened in shock when he saw Levi's behavior.

He was the only one who knew where the contract was hidden.

Why would this young man know?
As the shovel broke, Li Wei took out a scroll from the joint and threw it at Xia Kela.
