Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 317 The Revitalized Xijing Town (Second Update!)
Jersey City.

Located just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, New York, Westview is a small town with a population of less than four thousand in the suburbs of Jersey City.

The town is small.

but……

The streets are clean and orderly, wide and shaded by trees, full of vitality.

The town, which had been gradually declining due to population outflow, suddenly seemed to be under the spotlight, bursting with real energy and vitality.

The shops on the main street, which had become quiet due to the town's closures, began to reopen one by one.

Candy store.

Toy store.

cinema.

People of East Asian, French, and Russian descent seemed to have come from all corners of the world to this small town and settled down.

It seemed as if overnight, the town had been revitalized.

Various restaurants catering to people of Dongguk descent.

A candy store owned by Russians.

A French-owned flower shop.

If someone who doesn't know the area comes to this town, they might think they've come to some kind of international convention.

wrong.

There are no nations.

Some of the original residents of the town gathered together, feeling like they were in a dream, as they watched the town government spend money to renovate the square and even turn the fountains back on. They discussed it quietly.

"It seems that a kindergarten has also opened in the town."

"It's not just a possibility, it's true. Xijing Town Primary School is also in the process of restarting."

"God."

"No, there don't seem to be that many school-aged children in the town."

"So the mayor's idea is to open the kindergarten first."

"...Hey, where are Jordan and Michael?"

"They moved away."

"When...when will we move?"

"Just a few days ago, something must have happened. Two trucks came at night, and then they started moving."

"hiss!"

"I suddenly realized something. By the way, have you guys seen any different colors these past few days?"

"..."

Jordan and Michael were longtime residents of the town.

African American.

The old residents gathered in the reopened square of the town and subconsciously looked at the colors around them.

There are white hairs that are new.

There is a Yellow Heaven above.

The only thing missing was darkness.

Not far away, Pietro, who had just bought a lot of candy from a newly opened candy store owned by a Russian, subconsciously looked around while listening to the conversation of several long-time residents. Then he blinked, suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and hurried back to house number 123 in Westview Town.

"Wanda."

"what happened?"

Wanda, who was at home, looked at her brother Pietro, who had a mysterious expression on his face, after they came home and closed the door, and she was a little curious.

Pietro leaned close to Wanda, handed the candy to the excited Jean, and said in a low voice, "I suddenly realize that something is wrong with this town."

Wanda initially thought Pietro was going to say something.

result……

Wanda couldn't resist the urge to roll her eyes and glanced at Pietro.

"You're only realizing this now?"

"Uh……"

Pietro was stunned. Looking at his sister, who seemed to have noticed something was wrong long ago, he scratched his head.

"When did you know that?"

"When they were building children's play facilities on the vacant lot across from our house."

As Wanda spoke, she looked out the window at the other side of the road, where a bustling construction was underway. In just five days, a facility for toddlers to play, which could not be said to be the most luxurious in the town, but could certainly be said to be the most luxurious and complete in the entire Jersey City, was already taking shape.

Whether they were construction workers or managers, they all had yellow skin.

If all goes well, the children's facility will be completed in two more days.

This speed—

fast.

"And the shops on the street."

What happened to the store?

Pietro was puzzled. He went to the shops on the street much more often than his sister, so why hadn't he noticed anything wrong with the shops?

Wanda looked at her brother, whose eyes were very clear, and said speechlessly, "Didn't you notice that most of the shops on the street are related to Jean, Billy, and Tommy?"

Toy store.

Candy store.

Maternity and baby product store.

There are also five very distinctive clothing stores.

The focus is on clothing stores.

There's nothing wrong with opening a clothing store, and even five stores specializing in children's clothes wouldn't be a problem.

But this is a small town.

In a small town with a population of less than four thousand, there are five children's clothing stores next to each other. This is completely unbelievable.

"Even if you don't pay attention to the clothes, didn't you look at the candy you bought?"

"What's wrong with the candy?"

"How much did you pay for these candies?"

"Ten dollars. The store manager said it's a discount for the new store opening, so it's a great deal."

"..."

Wanda turned her head and glanced at the box of candy that Qin, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor mat, had opened.

"Godiva!"

"The world's most exquisite handmade chocolates."

"It is also a top-tier luxury candy."

"Ten dollars..."

Wanda named the brand of candy her daughter had on her piano, and looked at her clear-eyed brother Pietro with a half-smile: "Take this box out and sell it for three hundred dollars. People will buy it without hesitation, and they'll be afraid you'll regret it."

Ten dollars.

Three hundred dollars. "Hiss!"

Pietro, pondering the discrepancy, finally realized what was happening and looked at Wanda: "Shit, are we being watched?"

Wanda couldn't hold back any longer and rolled her eyes at Pietro.

Forget it.

My own brother.

Calling him stupid is easy to hurt yourself, so just bear with it.

Wanda thought to herself, but still closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then reopened them.

"It's not surveillance; they're here to protect us."

"Protect?"

"Ah."

Wanda nodded, reached out and smoothed her hair, then her right hand emitted a crimson aura, and the steamer on the stove automatically turned on, placing two beautifully steamed egg dishes onto the bar.

Pietro, who was about to ask more questions, blinked as he looked at the two bowls of steamed eggs.

"what is this?"

Steamed egg custard.

Wanda smiled and said, "When Mrs. Zheng, who just moved in a couple of days ago, came to visit, we chatted for a while about parenting guidelines and she gave me some advice."

That Lady Zheng was from the East.

She also has two children, a son and a daughter, who are a year older than Billy and Tommy. When she came to visit that day, she saw Billy and Tommy and talked to her about parenting.

Wanda benefited greatly, and Mrs. Zheng also gave her many recipes specifically for infants and toddlers, and even sent her a website.

She took a look that day.

A concise and clear website with a wide variety of food instruction videos specifically designed for infants and toddlers.

The instructional videos were incredibly detailed, and Wanda even had her brother Pietro check out the newly opened shopping center in town.

Good guy.

Even the most authentic Dongguo (Japanese slang for Chinese food) spices that aren't available in New York City's Chinatown can be found in the town's shopping center.

Distracted by Wanda, Pietro, who had just thought he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, immediately lost interest in speaking.

Wanda didn't bother to say more.

Anyway, the people here don't mean any harm.

Even if they were malicious, Wanda figured they probably wouldn't be able to get into the town.

after awhile.

Billy and Tommy sat in their own special stools.

Qin, meanwhile, sat on a high stool, eating her mother Wanda's latest and most successful creation: steamed egg custard.

Wanda, on the other hand, used her crimson chaos magic to control the rag to clean the countertop.

An ambulance, without flashing lights, quietly pulled up in front of a house diagonally across the street.

Pietro came closer.

"That shop across the street, I think they moved out the day before yesterday."

"Ah."

"Then what about this ambulance..."

After the ambulance stopped, the back door opened, and a middle-aged woman with blonde hair, who appeared to be asleep, was quietly pushed into the room.

Pietro raised an eyebrow.

"A sick old lady."

"Shut up."

Upon hearing this, Wanda turned to Pietro beside her and whispered, "That woman has his scent on her."

Pietro was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening. Thinking of the middle-aged woman who had been pushed into the house diagonally opposite, he looked at Wanda.

"And this woman..."

"do not know."

Wanda shook her head. After tidying up the table, she handed over the task of looking after Jean, Billy, and Tommy to her brother, and then walked towards the backyard.

The backyard is very large.

It's much bigger than the backyard of 521A Palm Street, after all, there's no swimming pool in the backyard of 521A Palm Street.

There is a swimming pool in the backyard of No. 123 Xijing Town.

When Wanda and the others first arrived, Jyn was having a blast soaking in the swimming pool.

The kind of person who won't come up when called.

Finally, Wanda got really angry. With a burst of crimson chaos magic, she dragged Jean from the swimming pool back to her room on the second floor and locked her up for an entire afternoon.

Wanda went to the backyard, intending to use magic to clean up the fallen leaves and debris in the swimming pool.

Later, Pietro will take Billy and Tommy to play in the water.

This is also a parenting secret passed down by Mrs. Zheng next door: children should exercise more to improve their immunity.

Just as Wanda was about to unleash her crimson chaos magic, the magical power at her fingertips paused.

Wanda turned her head to look.

into the eye.

Hawke appeared quietly behind him.

Eyes facing each other.

Hawke smiled.

"Are you still used to living here?"

"good."

Wanda realized what was happening, smiled slightly, and smoothed her hair: "This place is quite nice, and you haven't restricted our activities."

Hawke shook his head and smiled upon hearing this: "The people outside were not arranged by me. They were just trying to curry favor with me because they were afraid something would happen to you."

With just one game in the Atlantic, he has already firmly secured his position as the number one player in the underdog world.

Moreover, because of his relationship with Maria Hill and Victoria Hand, he can be considered the pillar of stability for The Wrong Side of the World.

and so……

The lady next door, Madam Zheng, is indeed called Madam Zheng. Her husband is Zheng Xian, the director of the Eastern Kingdom's Divine Spear Bureau.

The woman next door is Adelina Jelic, who also has three children. Her husband, Jelic, is the director of the Russian Defenders.

Hawke had no habit of hiding things, so he told Jean the people behind the neighbors on the street.

Wanda nodded, her arms crossed.

"And what about the one diagonally across the street, the one that just moved in?"

"That is……"

Hawke thought for a moment, met Wanda's eyes, and chuckled.

"My mother!"

"..."
