Chapter 185

~6 min read 1,014 words

Lacking luck!

When this guy was tailing them, he couldn't outrun the car, so he wanted to take a shortcut through an alley in a section that only went in one direction, but he was blocked by two thugs in the alley.

Under normal circumstances, taking out some pocket money would have avoided disaster, but as luck would have it, he didn't have any money on him at the time.

As a result, he was beaten up by the two thugs and his phone was stolen.

By the time he came out of the alley, the Maggia gang's car was long gone, and he could only walk back and borrow a phone from a passerby to make a call.

By the time he finally contacted Jessica Jones, the matter was already over, and they were all already at the hospital.

Simply put, he was told to come over to check if he was injured.

"Bo, Boss."

An Asian man with a somewhat dirty face but a simple-looking appearance followed a young nurse over.

His name was Liu Qiang, a very ordinary name, but after today, he would become no longer ordinary, and would also be true to his name, becoming very strong!

"How is he?" Su Quan nodded and looked at the nurse beside him.

"Just some superficial wounds, nothing serious." The nurse said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Su Quan thanked her politely and prepared to take Liu Qiang away.

"Christine."

"Hi."

Just at this moment, a female doctor passing by in the corridor called the nurse's name, and the two smiled and raised their hands to greet each other.

"Your name is Christine?" Su Quan, who was originally preparing to leave, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised when he heard this name.

Golden hair, a slightly mature sweet face; looking closely, it was indeed that colleague of Doctor Strange from the movie.

Christine looked at Su Quan curiously and generously stated her full name.

"Yes, Christine Palmer; do, do we know each other?"

Su Quan nodded with a smile: "We know each other."

"Really? Sorry, I don't have an impression; what's your name?"

"Su Quan."

The simple nurse miss thought very seriously for a long time, and asked again full of apologies.

"Su Quan—sorry, I really can't remember; may I ask where we have met? Or, when did we meet?"

"The first time we met was in the hospital, and the time we met was just now."

Su Quan smiled and reached out his hand: "Nice to meet you?"

"......"

Christine didn't react at first, and it wasn't until Su Quan said the time they met was just now that she realized the other party was joking.

This kind of pick-up line wasn't annoying; at least she didn't find it annoying.

So she smiled and shook hands with Su Quan: "I'm also very happy to meet you, and I will definitely remember you next time we meet."

"Christine, there's a new patient."

A nurse in the distance shouted to her.

"I know, I'll be right there."

Christine responded and smiled apologetically at Su Quan: "I have to get busy, so—"

Su Quan said understandingly: "See you next time?"

Christine said with a smile: "I thought you would ask for my number, but, as you said, see you next time."

After saying that, Christine waved her hand slyly and ran away quickly.

"Boss, it's off-duty time now, I, I can go home by myself." Liu Qiang said in a low voice.

Su Quan thought for a while and said: "Alright, I happened to meet a friend, so you go back first; come find me after work tomorrow, I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay, then Boss, I'll go first."

Liu Qiang didn't even ask what they were going to talk about tomorrow, and just left decisively.

Although he looked a bit simple, he wasn't really simple; delaying the boss from picking up girls, did he still want his job?

Su Quan didn't know that Liu Qiang thought he was staying behind to continue flirting with Christine; he really had met a friend.

At the end of the corridor, a faint, shimmering prismatic mirror surface rippled slightly.

Su Quan walked in, but inside it wasn't the open air outside the wall, but a floating circular platform.

Two people stood in the middle of the circular platform; one was wearing golden mage robes, and the shiny head made people not only dare not laugh and not want to laugh, but instead feel very serious.

Bald, very strong!

Especially a bald woman, even stronger!

"Master Ancient One."

Su Quan smiled and greeted the number one bald woman of Marvel, his gaze falling on another mage beside her.

This was a female mage, and an Asian female mage at that.

The ratio of men to women among Kamar-Taj mages was not unbalanced, and the number of female mages was not small; after all, the Sorcerer Supreme was a woman.

However, for a Kamar-Taj female mage, and an Asian female mage, her identity was already self-evident; after all, she was still holding a ring-shaped staff in her hand.

"Tina Minoru?" Su Quan called out her name.

Tina Minoru didn't expect the other party to actually know her; she was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly to greet him.

"Greetings, Lord of the Void."

Tina Minoru was also there when Su Quan went to Kamar-Taj last time, just not in the center.

But she witnessed with her own eyes how strong this man of the same skin color as her was, and even more so, she knew his identity afterward—the Lord of the Void from the end of the timeline!

Even just now, Master Ancient One reminded her not to lose her manners when seeing the Lord of the Void.

For Tina Minoru, the Lord of the Void was a big shot that even the Sorcerer Supreme had to treat with caution.

That such a big shot could call out her name and recognize her, Tina Minoru's heart couldn't help but be unable to calm down.
