Chapter 3435: Midnight Sons (45)

~10 min read 1,983 words

Schiller naturally had clues he needed to investigate, and his informant was the Scarlet Witch.

Although Jarvis pretended to be very busy and didn't go to find Miles with Wanda, he still kept an eye on Wanda with cameras the whole time. On one hand, it was to record clues that might be collected in time, and on the other hand, if Wanda had any danger, he could also arrive in time.

Schiller knew Jarvis would definitely do this, so he didn't go to Miles's house to squat, but went directly to Wanda's house to find Jarvis. When he arrived, Jarvis was staring at the screen.

"Doctor, you're here. Wanda just went out not long ago."

"Did she go to Miles's side?"

"Yes, fortunately, Miles moved to a community with decent public security, otherwise I would have had to go with her."

Schiller shook his head and said: "That place in the Bronx, no matter how good the security is, it's just like that, but those petty thieves aren't Wanda's opponents. Don't worry."

Schiller walked over and watched the surveillance with him.

Not long after dark, Wanda went out, didn't wear a uniform, didn't bring any special weapons, took the car keys, and left.

New York hadn't been that congested for a long time. Wanda drove the car, drove straight in, and came to the center of the Bronx.

Although the public security of the entire Bronx wasn't very good, there were still some good communities, with cheaper rent compared to other areas. Miles just happened to find a house here.

Unlike most other Spider-Men, Miles's educational background wasn't high, and he didn't have any serious work experience, so besides being Spider-Man, he was doing odd jobs everywhere.

However, Miles seemed to know that his cultural level was too low, which might lead to him not being able to understand being Spider-Man, so he borrowed some money from Peter and also signed up for community college.

Jarvis gave Miles's information to Wanda, so Wanda knew roughly where to start. She pretended to come to visit the community college, looking for Miles's figure in the crowd.

Community colleges in the United States aren't universities; they are more like technical schools, and not every community has one; basically, a big district has one or two. Class times aren't fixed, and teaching levels are average.

The benefit is that they aren't as expensive as normal universities, and if you pass the exams within the school, you can obtain the qualification to take exams for some social employment certificates. Wanda signed up for the nursing major; after graduating from school, she could go take the nursing qualification certificate.

She saw that Miles's major was computer science, which was considered the ace major of this community college, and she even heard that two graduates entered Google. Within the scope of community college, it was considered a quite good destination.

Precisely because of this, there were many people in this department. Wanda scanned the classroom briefly, from teenagers to old men in their sixties, and there were many races. Everyone was sitting quietly in the classroom, and you couldn't see the sword-drawn-and-bow-bent appearance on the street at all.

In the back row of the classroom, Wanda saw Miles's figure. After locking onto the target, she paused at the door for a while.

The teachers at the community college were very enthusiastic about her, because Wanda was a mother of two children and had been a full-time housewife for nearly two years. Such people signing up for community college could allow the community college to get more subsidies from the state government.

"To be honest, I am very satisfied with all the conditions here, but the only thing I have some worries about is. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that I see there are many people of color here..."

Wanda showed a worried expression, seemingly afraid that the teacher would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "After all, the Black march a few days ago had an incident, I'm afraid..."

"You don't have to worry at all, ma'am. The students here are all very friendly, and they aren't the kind of radical racial fighters, they will definitely welcome new students very much."

"Is that so? But... alright, I won't hide it from you, I am a mutant, some of them might be afraid of me, and I don't want to cause you trouble."

"It doesn't matter, ma'am. There are also mutants among our students, everyone gets along very happily, absolutely no problem."

Looking at the teacher's smile, Wanda frowned slightly. She nodded and said: "Alright, you should allow trial classes here, right? Can I sit in on a class here to try?"

"Of course no problem." The teacher looked toward the nearest classroom and said, "There happens to be an empty seat in this classroom, you go sit over there, I'll go say hello to the teacher giving the lecture."

Wanda smiled and nodded at him, walking toward the empty seat, and that empty seat was in the row behind Miles's seat.

Wanda walked over and sat down, pretending to smile and nod at the classmates next to her, and many people looked over at her side.

However, soon, the teacher's speaking voice attracted the students' attention, making them focus on the classroom again.

Miles was wearing a hoodie on his head, burying his head in taking notes, and seeing Wanda walk past him, he just looked up and then lowered his head again.

Half a day later, Miles finally reacted to who he had seen. He had seen Wanda, just didn't react for a moment.

He couldn't help but frown, gently turning the pen in his hand. He only knew that Wanda's husband was a good friend of Stark, and Wanda should be a mutant, and knew nothing else.

So he couldn't be sure if Wanda knew his true identity; after all, he hadn't heard that Wanda and Peter had any friendship.

Wanda sat in the last row of the classroom, sizing up the atmosphere in the classroom, gently rubbing her lips with her hand, and secretly sent a message to Jarvis with her phone:

"Tony's intuition is right, it really is a bit wrong."

Schiller and Jarvis in front of the surveillance screen also noticed something. The main problem was that the atmosphere was a bit too harmonious.

First of all, although you can't say that everyone studying at community college in the United States isn't a good student, the economic situation is definitely relatively average, with many people without fixed jobs, relying on family or friends for support all year round, and relatively few people who truly have stable jobs and purely want to improve themselves.

Although you can't say this type of person has no quality, they are mostly disconnected from society, or socially maladjusted, and for various reasons, have no way to work in society for a long time.

Facing someone who suddenly broke into their classroom, their reaction was a bit too calm, which is very abnormal.

"I still remember, when I interviewed for the community school here, Wanda was still a bit nervous. It was my suggestion that she go sit in on a class. When she first walked in, everyone stared at her for at least two minutes."

Schiller nodded and said: "Even without mentioning anything else, Wanda's appearance is also quite eye-catching."

"Yes, they were all taken aback, seemingly not believing that such a person would come to community school to study. Wanda was nervous because of this, and it took a long time before she barely integrated."

Maybe love really makes people young, or using chaos power to do housework really makes people not that tired. In short, compared to ordinary full-time mothers who stay at home full-time to take care of children to save the money for hiring a nanny, Wanda is more like that kind of wealthy wife who doesn't do any work.

Her hair is smooth and shiny, her face is fair without wrinkles and obvious sagging, and she doesn't have dark circles, her figure hasn't gone out of shape because of childbirth, and she is full of a drive to love life from head to toe, which doesn't look like a poor person running around tired at all.

Such a person, even if she suddenly has a whim to start a career, definitely wouldn't come to community college. Wanda could have taken Schiller's or Strange's recommendation letter and gone directly to a prestigious university; it was her own humility, afraid of not being able to keep up with the courses, that made her want to try at community college first.

Such a person breaking into the classroom of community college would definitely receive collective attention, and to the extent that the second half of the class might not be able to continue.

Some people might feel it's too exaggerated, but class segregation in the United States is very serious. Those living in poor communities might not have even seen a wealthy person in their entire life, because they aren't allowed to enter good communities at all, not even touching the edge. People in good communities can even call the police directly because of their appearance.

If a family goes bankrupt and can't afford property management fees or house management fees, then owners can directly vote to kick them out. There will only be people of this class in a community of one class, and it's as difficult as ascending to heaven for people at the bottom to mix in.

Under these circumstances, Wanda is simply a strange flower, just like suddenly seeing a dog walking upright on the road, normal people would all be unable to help but crowd around to watch the fun.

But the people in this classroom really just looked at her once, and then went on doing whatever they were doing. Even the teacher clearly stated that Wanda was a mutant, and they still had no reaction.

You have to know, most vicious incidents caused by mutant loss of control are in areas with relatively dense population, which is non-wealthy areas. So ordinary people are more disgusted with mutants. Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be impossible for others to directly make a scene.

Schiller stroked his chin, letting Jarvis turn the camera to stare at the teacher giving the lecture in front of the podium.

After listening for a while, he discovered that the teacher's lecture content was no problem, just some relatively basic computer knowledge, without any guiding words.

Jarvis continued to turn the camera, but Schiller suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

The camera stopped at an angle that could just happen to film the blackboard. Schiller pointed to a place on the screen and said: "Zoom in and see what this is."

Jarvis zoomed in the lens, and the two saw a small icon in the lower right corner of the blackboard. After continuing to zoom in, they discovered that it was the logo of Roxxon.

Through the image, it could be seen that this logo wasn't stuck on, but the dark pattern of the blackboard itself.

Jarvis immediately sent a message to Wanda, and then learned from her that there was indeed such a pattern, and if sitting in the last row, one could barely see it clearly.

Jarvis immediately tapped the keyboard to start querying, and many pieces of information emerged. Schiller's gaze immediately locked onto one of them:

"Roxxon Energy Co., Ltd. aids three community colleges in the Bronx, purchasing smart teaching facilities such as electronic blackboards for them, supporting adult education in New York."

Jarvis immediately started operating the computer and said: "I suspect these smart teaching devices have problems, Wanda, don't act rashly for now, I'll have a drone transport a signal detector over."
