A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 144 Leaving

"Your father is an exorcist? What do they usually do?" The next day, Levi was cooking, while Tony, who had come over for a free meal, chatted with Levi while sneaking a bite to eat.

Levi and Shakora were naturally unaware of the fight between the Ancient One and Mephisto.

After gathering the evil spirits of San Van Gonzalez, they returned to the Alliance headquarters.

Upon returning to the Alliance, Shakora borrowed Levi's workshop and began to cultivate in seclusion, preparing to absorb those evil spirits.

Because at the Alliance headquarters, the most secure and secluded place is Li Wei's workspace.

Next are Melina's laboratory and the cryogenic chambers of the five Winter Soldiers.

As for Tony, he only had a temporary lounge at headquarters.

After all, they own the world's largest conglomerate, so they don't lack places with high security levels.

There's no need to create a separate one within the league.

With his own workspace occupied and him having to "protect" Xia Ke, Li Wei naturally couldn't wander around.

They can only stay at headquarters every day.

However, this made the other younger members of the league and the children extremely happy.

Since Li Wei had some free time, he basically took care of all the meals at headquarters.

Li Wei's culinary skills are considered a "legend" in the entire league.

Even Tony, after learning that Levi would be in charge of cooking recently, brought Pepper over for a free meal.

"In fact, before the alliance was formed, I didn't know he was also an exorcist. As for what he did, it was probably similar to what you see in the movies," Li Wei replied while plating a plate of Kung Pao Chicken.

He did not hide his and Shakla's previous actions from Tony.

This includes matters such as the alliance treaty signed.

After all, Li Wei borrowing the power of the demon can be seen as providing an extra layer of protection against future crises.

Tony wasn't a pedantic person, and he didn't see anything wrong with making a pact with a demon.

After all, he was the kind of person who could propose using an Iron Legion to protect the entire Earth.

In comparison, the fact that Levi's father was an exorcist was a minor matter; for Tony, it was just another topic of conversation.

Of course, Li Feng wouldn't casually mention that he was both a Witcher and a staff member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. – in theory, even he shouldn't know this; he only found out because the Ancient One told him.

"What about that hot-tempered Johnny? You only met him briefly, and you didn't even try to recruit him? That's not like you!" Tony asked after eating a dumpling.

"Even if he hasn't officially awakened yet, it's not suitable to recruit him into the alliance while he's still under Mephisto's control—or do you want to deal with Mephisto?" Li Wei rolled his eyes.

“You’re right! Demons as easy to talk to as Shakora are a minority!” Tony thought about the legend of Mephisto and nodded.

Fortunately, Levi didn't have any intention of recruiting Johnny.

Otherwise, given the San Venganza incident, Johnny might be used by Mephisto against him and Shakora.

"Alright, go and serve the rest of the food!" Li Wei said to Tony after taking a huge grilled fish out of the oven.

"Okay!" Tony nodded and went to call everyone to eat.

However, Li Wei's time as head chef did not last long before he was replaced by someone else.

The new takeover of this task was undertaken by Zemo's father and wife.

Yes, as time went by, Zemo's family finally arrived in the United States.

Because the whole family moved, finding jobs for all of them became a problem that needed to be solved.

Although nominally, Zemo, his wife, and father (whose son was yet to be born) were all recruited by Stark Industries, Zemo and his father were able to speak English, but Zemo's wife did not.

Therefore, it's not easy to arrange.

So Levi and Tony discussed it and decided to let Zemo's father and wife take charge of the catering at the Alliance headquarters.

Because there are already quite a few people in the league now, and because they have all drunk the Titan Potion, their physical fitness has greatly improved, and their appetite has also increased dramatically.

Given Melina, Jessica, and Levi's previous physical conditions, this amount of work might not have been a problem.

However, it would be quite difficult for an ordinary person.

So let's just have both of them together.

Moreover, when Li Wei recruited Zemo, he also visited Zemo's home.

Although Zemo's wife's cooking had a distinctly Eastern European flavor, it was still quite delicious.

Moreover, after trying the dishes, the members of the alliance were able to adapt to them.

So that's how it was settled.

time flies.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The door to Li Wei's workshop, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened.

"Looks like you've finished digesting it, congratulations!" Li Wei said with a smile, looking at Shakora who came out looking radiant.

As the alliance pact is completed, the stronger Shakora becomes, the stronger he becomes.

He was naturally very happy.

“Thank you for your help, Victor, but now it’s time for me to leave!” Shakora smiled and nodded, then said something that surprised Levi slightly.

"Is it returning to our own dimension?" Li Wei asked.

“That’s right. When you summoned me, I had been asleep for a thousand years, so I had very few followers left and lost actual control of the dimension. That’s why I stayed on Earth all this time.” Now that things have come to this, Shakora has also stated the reason why she has stayed in the Alliance.

"Hehe, actually I could have guessed even if you hadn't said it, but we're friends!" Li Wei laughed when he heard that Shakora's reason for staying on Earth was indeed the same as his initial guess.

“That’s right, we are friends,” Shakora nodded and continued, “and now that I have gained new power, it is time to return to the Hell Dimension and reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to me.”

"Do you need any help?" Li Wei asked immediately upon hearing this.

He had long wanted to visit the Hell dimension, since, according to his speculation, there was a high probability that Hell contained a large number of elemental creatures.

The previous "big explosions" by several elemental demons and black-hearted individuals have further confirmed this point.

So he actually had high expectations for the demons of hell.

Of course, this was also partly due to their friendship, and Li Wei also wanted to be more involved.

“Thank you for your kindness, but I’d rather not. Although you are quite strong now and can borrow my power, as a human, it is indeed difficult for you to adapt to the environment of Hell. Moreover, it is not right to entrust the task of reclaiming the throne to others—and you have already helped me enough!” Shakora said.

"Then I wish you a safe journey!" Hearing Shakora say this, Li Wei stopped insisting.

"Oh, right, this is for you!" Shakora took out a crystal and handed it to Li Wei.

"What is this?" Li Wei looked at the crystal curiously. Inside was a strange humanoid object engulfed in flames.

“This is the Spirit of Vengeance you’ve always wanted!” Shakora replied.
