Chapter 274

"Because there's still a sliver of hope, and the city needs your help too."

"So none of you have left yet."

Su Yi's words made Natasha fall silent and nod.

The truth really was just like that.

"Beep beep beep~~~"

Right at this moment.

Natasha's agent phone rang.

She took it out and answered.

Then after saying a couple of words, she nodded.

"Understood."

She hung up the agent phone.

Natasha said to Su Yi.

"Sorry, although it's not urgent, I have to leave in a bit."

"There's a group of weapons modification guys still hiding in New York City."

"What happened last night was probably their doing."

"So I have to go investigate."

So that was what it was about.

After hearing it, Su Yi waved his hand in farewell.

"Then see you next time."

"Remember, let's both pick a time when we're free."

"Don't think too much about the investigation either — maybe it'll solve itself the next day."

After hearing that, Natasha first threw Su Yi a flirtatious glance.

Then she turned and left the office.

While going down in the elevator.

Natasha recalled what Su Yi had just said.

Suddenly.

She immediately realized there was something hidden in his last sentence.

Su Yi was telling her to just casually look into it.

In other words, this matter would be taken care of.

Then who would be the one to act?

That spider lady?

Or the Scarlet Witch?

After Natasha had left.

Su Yi lay back in his recliner and stretched.

A little chat that afternoon.

And it was almost time to get off work again.

How nice.

And today, up to now, Hela hadn't come downstairs to play games.

Probably scared.

Mm, very good!

The whole day today, Su Yi was happy as could be.

Days like this are so comfortable.

When the time came to 5:00 PM.

Su Yi closed the office door on time outside, and at the same time mentally clocked out.

As for the reward.

Keep saving it up.

But the moment Su Yi closed the door.

Crimson sparks began to flicker at his doorway.

Seeing the color of those sparks, Su Yi was first stunned.

Aren't the magic sparks of Kamar-Taj golden?

How did they turn crimson?

But Su Yi immediately realized.

"Wanda."

Sure enough.

The moment Su Yi said that.

The sparks trembled along with it.

So Su Yi hurriedly encouraged.

"Wanda, keep at it, you open (hao zhao hao) it up and I'll go right in."

With Su Yi's encouragement.

The crimson sparks gradually drew circles, until the circle was complete.

"Hummmmm~~~"

Immediately after.

A Chuansong Sect portal opened right in front of Su Yi.

Su Yi peered inside.

Wanda was standing on the other side.

Though tired, she wore a long-absent smile.

Seeing the portal open.

Su Yi stepped forward and walked in.

"Thump~"

Wanda leapt forward and embraced Su Yi.

"Congratulations, Wanda," Su Yi said approvingly.

Wanda was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I'm sorry, Su. I'm really slow—according to the records, the time it took me to learn the Chuansong Sect isn't fast at all, it's actually a bit slow."

"Hmm?" Hearing Wanda's words.

Su Yi did some quick mental math on the time.

It really did seem a bit slow.

Why was that?

Wanda was a prodigy—she was the wielder of Chaos Magic.

How could she possibly be slow at learning magic?

"Impossible."

Su Yi said firmly, refusing to believe it.

"Close the portal and try again."

"Okay."

After being encouraged by Su Yi.

She nodded, slipped out of Su Yi's embrace, and prepared to close the crimson portal.

But after trying twice, Wanda realized.

"Why can't I close it?"

Wanda was stunned.

According to magic theory, isn't closing a portal far easier than opening one?

Why was she unable to close it?
