Chapter 726: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Little Universe Chapter 395
He had to rush between venues.
Fortunately, the other venue was just diagonally across the street.
He originally didn't intend to go, but Gwen's persuasion was very reasonable.
The Maximoff family across the street was also able to reunite today, also because of him.
This is his credit.
So Hawk should go over and enjoy his results.
If effort has no reward, then the meaning of hard work will also be gone.
The most important point.
Across the street, there weren't just the Maximoffs, but also three Phoenixes.
So...
Hawk went.
"Daddy!"
Daughter Jean, seeing Hawk appear after opening the door, had a smile bloom on her face. With a whoosh, she took off, and the moment Wanda stepped aside, she threw herself into Hawk's arms.
Hawk caught his daughter Jean, then looked at Wanda, who was looking at him after opening the door.
"Merry Christmas Eve."
"Thank you."
Wanda smiled slightly: "Merry Christmas Eve."
Hawk held Jean, followed Wanda, came to the dining room, looked at the seat specifically left empty by Mr. Ilya Maximoff, smiled slightly, didn't say anything, held Jean, and sat in the main seat of the dining room.
Wanda pulled out the first seat on the left and sat down.
Ilya sat in the first seat on the right.
Although the East respects the left, in the international order dominated by the West, it is the opposite.
Ilya spoke first.
"Drinking, Hawk?"
"Dad..."
Wanda raised her eyebrows and looked at her father.
Her relationship with Gwen couldn't be said to be better than intimate best friends, but she still knew Hawk's habit of not drinking before the age of twenty-one.
But before she could say anything, Hawk had already responded, then looked at Wanda and smiled slightly: "An exception today."
Wanda met Hawk's gaze and smiled upon hearing this.
Soon.
As Hawk's whiskey glass clinked with Ilya's glass first, Hawk's glass also clinked with Wanda's red wine glass.
Eyes met.
Once again.
"Merry Christmas Eve."
"Merry Christmas Eve."
Accompanied by the crisp clinking sound, everyone raised their glasses, and even daughter Jean raised the coconut juice in her cup, celebrating Christmas Eve tonight with heartfelt joy.
However.
Cheering ultimately has a time limit, but what doesn't have a time limit is that everything tonight will become the most unforgettable part of their memories.
Still the backyard.
Still Hawk, but this time, the person beside Hawk was replaced by Wanda.
Wanda looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, her peripheral vision looking at Hawk, who was holding daughter Jean and also admiring the snowy moonlight.
"Thank you."
"You've already said that."
Hawk withdrew his gaze, whispered a few words to daughter Jean, and after seeing Jean return to the house, he looked at Wanda beside him: "Just take good care of Jean, Billy, and Tommy."
Hearing this, Wanda looked at Hawk.
"They are my son and daughter."
"I know."
Hawk smiled slightly.
After a while.
Hawk withdrew his gaze first.
"I'm leaving, I have another venue to rush to."
"Okay."
Hawk's figure slowly disappeared from where he was.
He didn't lie.
He indeed had another venue to rush to, but the third venue was not in the real universe.
But in his Underworld.
Hawk, who returned to the guest room of the house diagonally across the street, sat cross-legged, his mind sank, and he went straight into the Underworld Pure Land.
After Anya was resurrected, the Pure Land seemed to have become somewhat deserted.
The female Blood Elves, led by Kaila, all returned to the Underworld temple, guarding the Black Phoenix Underworld garment in the temple.
And in the area near the Underworld River, the wind chime hanging in a flower shop made a crisp clinking sound as the Underworld wind blew past.
Anna, sitting on the chair, heard the sound, opened her eyes, looked at Hawk who appeared in front of her, and smiled slightly.
"Good morning."
"Good evening."
Hawk and Anna's greetings were always unique: "It's Christmas Eve now, Merry Christmas Eve, Anna."
Anna stood up from the seat: "After I died, being able to come here, carefree, I am already very happy."
Hawk shook his head.
"Not enough. This year's Christmas Eve has a theme."
"Oh."
"Reunion and harvest."
"I resurrected my sister Anya, making the Phoenix family reunite."
"I resurrected the Maximoffs, also allowing the Maximoff family to reunite."
"I even promised to help S. H. I. E. L. D.; S. H. I. E. L. D. agents and their families will not enter hell after death, but go straight to the Underworld Pure Land."
"But you are the first friend who helped me."
"So..."
"I hereby pardon Alexander Pierce."
Accompanied by Hawk's narration, the smiling expression on Anna's face gradually froze.
Then—
Hawk opened his right hand and moved Alexander Pierce, who had already suffered I don't know how much in the Underworld prison, to the Pure Land.
Anna's eyes flickered, looking at Alexander Pierce, who was standing on the grass of the Pure Land, bewildered and helpless, but seemingly looking around somewhat blankly.
As S. H. I. E. L. D. agents entered one after another, Hawk knew that Anna didn't want to deal with S. H. I. E. L. D. agents, so he set a rule.
Anna's flower shop could only be seen and walked to by Anna and the souls she wanted to see.
Once again.
The first is always the most special.
It's not because Anna happened to, but because Anna is worth it. Even though he promised Anna flowers that could pardon any soul, Anna had never pardoned Alexander Pierce.
The theme of this year's Christmas Eve was reunion.
So!
"I pardon Alexander Pierce of any crime."
"From today on, Alexander Pierce has lived on the Pure Land."
"Anna."
Hawk said this, met Anna's gaze, and smiled slightly: "Merry Christmas Eve."
Anna's expression froze, and then under Hawk's gaze, she revealed a brilliant smile.
Very brilliant.
Brilliant to the point of crying.
With a bang.
Anna hugged Hawk, her voice trembling slightly.
"Thank you, Hawk."
"You're welcome."
Hawk didn't refuse Anna's hug: "Go, this year's Christmas Eve theme is reunion."
After finishing, Hawk left the Underworld Pure Land.
He hid in the sky, watching Alexander Pierce below, whose gaze suddenly froze as he looked around blankly, watching Anna smilingly show off her flower shop, and after seeing Alexander Pierce, he withdrew his gaze and left.
Once again.
He could give people joyful reunions, but he wasn't good at this kind of reunion.
