I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 396 The Calamity Witch Continued

It's fine if I didn't know before.

Now that they knew the person in the police car behind was George Stacy, Fregra dared not let them act on their own.

After all, George is his boss's father-in-law.

After instructing his bodyguards and the shadowy squad to ignore the police car following behind them, Fregra even gave them an order to also protect the police car.

After Fregra finished doing all this, Gwen also finished her phone call with Helen.

Seeing Gwen looking a bit troubled after receiving Helen's call, Erin chuckled and teased, "You'd better call George quickly, otherwise he'll be the first to object if I want to take you on a trip next time."

"My dad would never do that."

After rolling her eyes, Gwen still silently dialed George's number, but she felt inexplicably guilty as she did so.

Gwen went through all the faces she had seen after getting off the plane in her mind, but she couldn't find her father's figure among them.

After the call connected, not only Gwen, but even Erin could sense George's low spirits.

After a phone call, I realized I didn't want to be a leaky little cotton-padded jacket.

Gwen decisively got off the bus midway, and then, carrying the gifts she had picked out for George during the trip, happily ran towards George's police car.

"dad······"

In the police car bearing the NYPD logo, George, who had been wearing a tense expression, instantly melted away like ice melting after hearing the word "Dad."

"Dad, look what I brought you..."

After running to George's side, Gwen excitedly picked up the gifts she had carefully chosen for him and began to introduce them one by one.

As Gwen described the gifts she had chosen for him from all over the world, a smile unconsciously crept onto George's lips.

As expected, my little darling still loves me.

It must have been an accident that she didn't see me at the airport before.

Seeing the smile on George's face, Gwen's smile became even brighter.

As George's most beloved daughter, Gwen certainly knew how to please her father and appease him.

Just as George's mood brightened, Erin, who was standing nearby, also came over with a pile of gifts.

George, who had been beaming with joy at the sight of his daughter, suddenly stopped smiling when he saw Erin, the guy who had run off with his daughter for over half a month.

Just then, Gwen's voice suddenly rang out: "Oh right, I almost forgot, Dad, look, this is a gift that Erin prepared for you and Mom. I'll let you in on a little secret: a lot of these things were chosen by him and me over a long period of time."

After dispelling George's reluctance to refuse the gifts with a single sentence, Gwen continued:

"Dad, this is a gift that Erin specially asked the Pope for for you and Mom. It even has a blessing written by the Pope himself on it."

Ok?

George, who hadn't paid much attention to the pile of things until he heard that his daughter had put a lot of effort into choosing them, looked up with slight surprise.

When Gwen opened one of the gift boxes and showed George the blessing personally written by the Pope, George's expression changed instantly, and even his gaze towards Erin softened for the first time.

After taking the Bible from Gwen, which contained the Pope's blessing, George said to Erin, "Thank you, that's kind of you."

After saying that, George glanced at Fregra not far away, then walked to Erin's side and whispered, "I heard from the director that your men seem to have stolen something from the military, and the military is very unhappy about it. Be more careful when you get back."

They stole from the military?

Could George be referring to the Blood Orchid?

Erin's eyes flickered, then she thanked George, saying, "Thank you, I'll keep that in mind."

"It's good that you know what I'm doing. If you need any help, just give me a call anytime. I've worked in the judicial system for so many years, I still have a few friends."

After saying that, George didn't wait for Erin's reaction and opened the trunk of the police car, stuffing all the gifts that Gwen and Erin had prepared into it.

Seeing George's stubbornness but soft heart, Erin's lips curled into a slight smile.

While George was setting things up, Gwen came to Erin's side and secretly kissed her.

"You did a great job this time, this is a reward for you."

Although George had lowered his voice, Gwen heard everything he said. Delighted by her father's change in attitude toward Erin, Gwen didn't hesitate to reward Erin with a sweet kiss.

Since taking that final step with Erin, Gwen's feelings for Erin have become even more passionate and bold.

Even with George right next to her, Gwen made no attempt to hide it.

However, given her father's influence, Gwen kissed Erin before George noticed and immediately opened the car door and climbed into the back seat of the police car.

After getting in the car, Gwen quickly rolled down the window and said to Erin, "I'm going back with Dad first. I'll call you when I get home."

After savoring the warmth of her lips, she glanced at George, who had closed the trunk and was walking towards the driver's seat, and then chuckled softly, "Okay."

Feeling as if he had missed something, George glanced back at his daughter with a hint of confusion, then nodded to Erin before turning the police car around and driving away.

·······

After watching the police car disappear from his sight.

Back in the extended Lincoln, Erin asked Fregra, "Did Dr. Banner steal the Blood Orchid from the military? George just told me that it seems to have displeased the military."

Upon hearing this, Fregra scoffed and said, "The truth is quite the opposite. The place where the Blood Orchid grows is infested with many terrifying pythons. The military personnel sent to the Amazon had no chance of snatching the Blood Orchid from among those terrifying pythons. On the contrary, Dr. Banner, with his thick skin, managed to forcibly snatch some Blood Orchids."

"Don't even mention that Dr. Banner's Blood Orchid was stolen from the military. In fact, the few Blood Orchids that the military has now were given to them by Dr. Banner out of consideration for Betty. It's just that some people were not satisfied, which is why some trouble has arisen."

As he spoke, Fregra took out a tablet, found the data that Dr. Banner had sent back, and handed it to Erin.

After looking at the materials for a while...

Erin shook his head, and at the same time, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

After Erin finished reading the information, Fregra added, "In fact, most of the military's dissatisfaction with us is caused by this person, and besides the military's general staff, this person is also the one who is most eager to target us."

As he spoke, Fregra tapped a few more times on the tablet.

Soon, a person's information appeared on the screen.

"Brigadier General Teslak, head of the military's newly established Special Operations Unit, is specifically responsible for handling all unusual events encountered by the military."

As more and more extraordinary events occur, the Federal military, realizing the danger, begins to assemble a dedicated team to deal with the changes in the world.

Brigadier General Tesla was in charge of the Special Affairs Division, which was one of those departments.

Although the Special Affairs Division is not the most powerful among these departments, it is definitely the most high-profile and radical.

After glancing at Teslak's file, Erin asked, "Brigadier General Teslak? Is he targeting us?"

Fregra shook his head: "No, in fact, this guy is targeting all supernatural forces and weapons not controlled by the Federation military, including but not limited to Tony Stark's Iron Man suit, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s space carriers, and our Miracle Corporation's Miracle Potion."

Upon hearing this, a strange look appeared in Erin's eyes.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Targeting so many forces at once, let alone a brigadier general, even a federal general couldn't withstand it.

Leaving aside Miracle Corporation, Stark Industries, as the largest and oldest arms dealer in the Federation, is not to be trifled with. Even now, a large number of Stark Industries associates with high-ranking members of the Federation military, and some are even secret shareholders of Stark Industries.

And S.H.I.E.L.D., the violent law enforcement agency formed by the world's five major powers, goes without saying.

With so many powerful connections working together, even with the military's protection, can Brigadier General Tesla really hold his position securely?

Fregra shrugged and said, "Who knows? But it was precisely because of this frenzy that Brigadier General Tesla gained the support of many Eagle factions within the military. And it was because of this that after Dr. Banner risked his life to rush into the anaconda's lair deep in the Amazon rainforest and snatch a portion of the Blood Orchids, this guy started jumping around and clamoring for us to hand over the Blood Orchids."

"By the way, while demanding that we hand over the Blood Orchid, he also wanted us to hand over the formula for the Miracle Potion as well."

Erin, who initially thought Brigadier General Tesla had gone mad, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard Fregra's last sentence.

By handing over the formula for the miracle drug, is Brigadier General Tesla deliberately used as a pawn by the Federal military to manipulate the Miracle Corporation?

Knock knock knock!

After tapping his fingertips lightly on the armrest next to the seat a few times, Erin said to Fregra, "Let's ignore this guy for now. Notify Duke and have him test this guy first. Doesn't he want S.H.I.E.L.D. to hand over the technology of the space carrier? It's a good opportunity for S.H.I.E.L.D. to test this guy's strength."

"Understood, I'll contact Duke right away."

Upon hearing this, Erin waved his hand, "This matter isn't urgent, let's take it slow. But what's going on with Lilith?"

Speaking of Lilith.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Fregra's face.

After organizing his thoughts, Fregra said, "After the Battle of New York, to prevent the ominous aura of New York from clinging to Lilith, didn't I take Lilith on vacation to other cities?"

"While we were on vacation in Philadelphia, we met a strange woman, or more accurately, a witch of calamity, at least that's what she said."

"After that woman met Lilith, she said that Lilith was a born calamity witch. After saying that, she tried to take Lilith away. At that moment, Lilith's mother suddenly appeared. I assure you, that was not my imagination; Lilith's mother really appeared."

Lilith's mother.

Upon hearing this, Erin tensed up, instantly recalling the terrifying figure that had appeared in Lilith's hospital room.

Recalling the pressure that terrifying figure had placed on him, Erin asked, "And then?"

"Then······"

Fregra shrugged. "Then I passed out. When I woke up, both the woman who called herself the Calamity Witch and Lilith's mother had disappeared. Apart from Lilith who had fainted, there was nothing else there."

"When I saw Lilith faint, I was terrified. Just as I was about to take Lilith to the hospital and call you, Lilith suddenly woke up."

"Then, this girl excitedly told me that the villain who tried to kidnap her was killed by her mother. Moreover, her mother also stole a legacy from that Calamity Witch that allowed Lilith to control the Calamity energy within her."

"Lilith fainted because she absorbed that trace of inheritance."

At this point, Fregra's face showed an expression that was hard to tell whether it was lingering fear or relief.

"The legacy of the Calamity Witch—just the name itself sounds ominous. I wasn't planning on letting Lilith learn this kind of thing, but I don't know if it's because this girl trusts her mother too much, or if she's just too eager to return to normal."

"A few days later, when I discovered that she was secretly learning the legacy of the Calamity Witch, she was already able to barely control the calamity power within her. Although this couldn't restore her to normal immediately, it did make her look much more normal."

The legacy of the Calamity Witch?

Does this world still have such a special kind of heritage?

Erin was genuinely curious about the legacy Fregra mentioned that had restored Lilith to normal and even allowed her to control the power of calamity.

However, when I think about this world, with its many unreliable traditions...

Erin finally spoke up, asking, "Has Lilith shown any unusual behavior these past few days?"

Fregra shook his head upon hearing this: "No, or rather, the only unusual thing is that Lilith's luck seems to have improved a bit lately, at least she's not as unlucky."

"Although Lilith hasn't shown any unusual behavior yet, I'm still a little worried. So I plan to take her to you, Boss, another day and have you check on this so-called Calamity Witch's legacy to see if there's anything wrong with it."

"Can."

Upon hearing this, Erin nodded and said, "There's no need to reschedule. You can bring Lilith to my place later. I want to see what this so-called Calamity Witch's legacy is all about."

Fregra: "Okay!"
