"I'll go call her."

Ye Li stood up to leave.

Ancient One reminded him at the right time, "When you're done with the book, remember to put it back in its original place."

Ye Li chuckled and made a casual gesture, "OK, dear Mage Ancient One, I will put it back."

Outside the inner hall.

Wanda was waiting while sipping tea.

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous...

If it were her turn to go in later, that would be equivalent to stepping through the door to another world~...

Pietro, on the other hand, had a dejected face. Could it be that among the group... he was the only one who couldn't learn magic...

"Wanda."

Ye Li lifted the curtain and walked out, calling to the young girl who was quietly playing on her phone.

"Huh..?"

Wanda, who was nervous, reacted a beat late. After coming to her senses, she quickly replied, "Ah... yes!"

"Heh~ 'Yes' what?"

Ye Li rubbed her collagen-rich little face; it felt like a tender, boiled egg, "Go on in."

"Oh..."

Wanda looked shy and walked quickly into the inner hall as if fleeing, to talk with Ancient One.

New York.

Long Country Grand Theater (The one in Hollywood, Los Angeles; for the sake of the plot, it's moved to New York).

It was now time for the movie to end, and the viewers were walking out in twos and threes.

"No clues here either, guessed wrong again."

Jessica grabbed her slightly curly hair and whispered in distress, "Woo... the detective agency's reputation is going to be ruined."

She had been investigating that Chinatown case for a while now, but still hadn't found the culprit.

If it weren't for pestering her brother to help analyze the case while they were cuddling at night, she might not have made any progress at all...

"Jessica, the detective agency didn't have much of a reputation to begin with. Only people who need to catch cheating partners come to you."

Matilda was counting on her fingers nearby...

After realizing she hadn't had a smoke this week.

The girl took a lady's cigarette out of her small pocket and happily put it in her mouth~

Seeing her sister's comfortable, lazy look, Jessica was furious. Who did she learn this from?

She reached out and retaliated by taking the cigarette out of her sister's mouth, "You were watching the movie so happily, did you forget we have serious business?"

Matilda blinked, "But the movie tickets were already bought, can't waste them."

Jessica: "The movie tickets were bought to find clues!"

Matilda: "No clues, it's obvious we looked in the wrong place."

"Impossible."

Jessica said confidently, "I've been analyzing for so long, the victim of this case came here before they died, there must be clues!"

Matilda: "..." (My sister's detective skills are becoming more and more "wise"...)

"Ma'am, need a light?"

At this moment, a man with a crew cut and a ruffian face, seeing Jessica holding a cigarette between her fingers, flipped a metal lighter and tried to strike up a conversation.

"Hmm?"

Jessica folded her collar and asked, revealing her pretty face, "Do you know me?"

Eric Savin smiled wickedly, "What a beautiful girl, I think I know you tonight."

Jessica frowned, folded her high collar back up, and pulled her sister away directly...

"Heh~"

Coldblood (Eric) didn't pester her, watched the beauty's back, and licked his lips~

Subsequently.

He carried his briefcase and walked toward a man sitting on a bench... waiting hesitantly...

·· ·Seeking flowers·· ······

"Can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, I can handle it..."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Having received Jack Taggart's reply.

"Coldblood" Eric placed the briefcase next to the bench where Taggart was sitting, "This batch of goods is good~ don't say I didn't look out for you."

Taggart squeezed out a smile and thanked him, "Thanks, thanks for your understanding."

Not far away.

Happy was observing in secret, and the scene of the Coldblood duo's transaction was all seen by him—

—This ruffian-looking "Coldblood" Eric Savin was brought along by Killian when he visited Pepper at Stark's... he was his subordinate...

Thinking of this, as Taggart was about to leave, Happy walked over and pretended to bump into his shoulder—

Ding ding ding... ~

The briefcase hit the ground, and the things inside scattered, appearing to be metal objects...

"Eh..."

Jessica looked at the things scattered at her feet, thought for a moment, then squatted down to help, helping to pick them up with Happy.

When she glanced at Happy from the corner of her eye. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
