Chapter 49: Are you short on money? If you aren't, then use some special effects!

Although Ancient One is called a Sorcerer and uses magic, every sorcerer in the Kamar-Taj lineage, including her, has the heart of a melee fighter.

Just like Loki, who calls himself a sorcerer but uses two daggers like an assassin the moment he starts a fight.

He changed classes, but not entirely.

While the novice Loki is still asking how to play melee, the veteran Ancient One is already going "oh oh oh oh."

I have magic but I won't use it; hey, I'm just playing around.

Jokes aside, Ancient One really does play the melee sorcerer role quite skillfully.

Especially the Lightning Five-Consecutive-Whip; it's so fast that even with super speed, you can't see the whip, only streaks of golden energy light.

Lightning Five-Consecutive-Whip?

Ancient One: Are you being polite?

"Bang!"

Ancient One kicks out, uses the momentum for a backflip, and puts some distance between herself and Su Quan.

"Master of the Void, you are indeed very powerful."

Facing Ancient One's praise, Su Quan shakes his head with some regret: "Are you very short on money?"

Ancient One is stunned: "Although not much, I am not short on it. Why do you ask?"

Not short on money—if you aren't short on money, then use some special effects.

Winds of Watoomb, Shield of Seraphim, Sword of Vishanti, Bolts of Balthakk, Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon, Images of Ikonn—you should be arranging these!

Especially the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, use them! If you don't use them, how can I use them? If you don't use them, how can I show off—

A dignified Sorcerer Supreme facing a 'dimensional traveler' without even a shred of competitive spirit; what about the responsibility of protecting Earth?

Have you given up?

"I'm leaving. Next time, I'll treat you to the first milk tea of autumn." Su Quan waves his hand 'dejectedly' and leaves from the Mirror Dimension.

"..."

Ancient One also leaves the Mirror Dimension, bewildered. Su Quan's reaction makes her feel as if she disappointed him.

The problem is, what did she do?

Master Mordo approaches with concern: "Teacher, are you alright?"

"I—I don't know." Ancient One thinks with a strange expression and asks: "Do you know what the first milk tea of autumn implies?"

"The first milk tea of autumn? No, I don't know. It should just be milk tea, right?"

Master Mordo is also confused. The teacher asks about milk tea the moment she comes out; could it be that she wants to drink milk tea?

But haven't you always just drunk ordinary tea?

Ancient One nods and asks again: "Are we short on money?"

"Money? We aren't short on money. Teacher, that person, you said he is the Master of the Void. What is the Void, and what is his purpose in coming here?"

Master Mordo is no longer sure of the teacher's meaning, so he simply changes the subject and asks about the mysterious visitor who shattered the Shield of Seraphim with one punch.

"The Void is the end of the multiverse timeline. The intentions of the Master of the Void, Su Quan—"

Ancient One shakes her head. She originally thought he wanted the 【Book of Cagliostro】, but he just tested her with a few moves and left inexplicably.

"He should have no malice, but you must still maintain a certain respect when you see him in the future. This Master of the Void is stronger than I thought, and he is unfathomable."

"Yes."

The strength of the Master of the Void has already been vividly displayed in that punch and the teacher's reaction.

To this day, Master Mordo hasn't heard of anyone who could shatter the Shield of Seraphim with one punch; even the teacher couldn't do it.

Delivery Logistics Company, New York Branch.

Su Quan studies the dimensional mirror and astral projection for a while, puts the valuables from the safe into his backpack, and goes downstairs.

"Martin." Su Quan beckons to Li Martin, who has changed his clothes at some point.

Li Martin shudders subconsciously and hurriedly trots over with a nervous, apologetic smile.

"Boss, do you have any instructions?"

Su Quan hands over the backpack. Li Martin opens it, pauses for a moment, and asks in a low voice, understanding the implication: "Do you want me to dispose of these?"

Su Quan nods.

"Leave it to me."

Li Martin is very familiar with this kind of work; isn't it just turning stolen goods into cash? Back when he was helping people smuggle in a snakehead organization, many people would use valuables to pay off their debts if they didn't have enough cash.

Su Quan wants to pat his shoulder, but he dodges and moves to the side, offering his other shoulder.

That shoulder is injured and hasn't healed yet.

Tactful!

Su Quan pats him with satisfaction: "Go ahead, remember to come to work tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Li Martin says goodbye to Jessica Jones and the others and leaves, carrying the backpack.

Jessica Jones pulls Su Quan's arm to the side and asks in a low voice: "Did you hit him when you called him out earlier?"

Su Quan: "Did he say that?"

Jessica Jones shakes her head: "I'm not blind. Can't I tell if he's injured or not? Even though he changed his clothes, you can still smell a faint scent of blood."

"He's already miserable enough."

"How miserable?"

"You don't know. In your hometown, he was the owner of a zipper factory, living a life that wasn't exactly wealthy with his wife. Later, he was suppressed by officials, so he had the idea of coming here to live."

"After finally saving enough money, his wife came first, only to find a new lover here."

"He smuggled himself here and saw many stowaways lose their lives in dark, cramped ship cabins; some died of severe dehydration, others died from the abuse of the snakehead organization."

"After finally seeing hope, the ship took on water and capsized. More than two hundred people died, and there was only one survivor—him!"

Su Quan looks at the somewhat sentimental Jessica Jones, not knowing what to say.

All that about the wife finding a new lover, and the two hundred people dying with him as the only survivor—it's all a lie to elicit sympathy.

If he hadn't used reason to convince him and asked after beating him, Li Martin probably would have told him the same thing.
