Chapter 254: New President Captain America: The Duan Family Daughter Recovery Plan

Oomura Keiko’s eyes turned cold, yet her tone remained calm: “What do Itachi want?”

Rojie smiled, leaning back on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other, exuding the air of a seasoned negotiator:

“It’s simple.”

“First, Itachi two stop this childish nonsense about purifying Earth with holy flames.”

“Second, become my subordinates.”

Oomura Keiko frowned: “What did Itachi say?”

Rojie shrugged: “Itachi heard me clearly.”

“I’m short on obedient underlings, and Itachi two are perfect.”

Oomura Keiko’s face darkened: “Itachi’re dreaming.”

Upon hearing this, Rojie merely smiled at her.

He lifted his hand slightly, and the soul of Itabashi Mitsuo began writhing violently.

Rojie spoke slowly: “Itachi’re right.”

“I am indeed dreaming.”

“But your companion seems to have a different opinion.”

Itabashi Mitsuo let out a piercing scream.

“Aaaah!!!”

“It hurts! Too much!”

He groaned in agony: “Keiko, are Itachi just going to watch?”

Oomura Keiko’s brow tightened, a flicker of anger flashing in her eyes.

But she made no move.

Because she knew she wasn’t here to fight.

She was here to negotiate.

Of course, the real reason was she couldn’t win.

Otherwise, who would waste words when they could just strike?

Rojie watched her expression and nodded in satisfaction: “See? Your companion doesn’t think like Itachi do.”

Oomura Keiko finally spoke, her voice low: “What exactly do Itachi want us to do?”

Rojie smiled, his tone relaxed:

“Starting today, I’ll assign Itachi new duties.”

“For example, becoming my personal assistant, or hunting monsters.”

“Of course, if Itachi don’t feel like doing real work, Itachi could always clean my toilet.”

Oomura Keiko couldn’t help but want to retort.

Could personal assistant and monster hunting even be mentioned in the same breath?

And what even is cleaning the toilet?

At that moment, Rojie asked again: “Well?”

Oomura Keiko fell silent for several seconds, then gritted her teeth: “Fine, I accept.”

For now, she had no choice but to submit.

At least she could still live.

…

The Gray Mist Hall.

The air carried a faint scent of spicy strips.

Flying Swallow Rojie opened his eyes to a hazy gray mist, and familiar voices reached his ears.

He looked up—and there, in the corner, were a group of Rojies.

They sat around a folding table, piled high with snacks and drinks.

Several Rojies were munching snacks and chatting.

Seeing this, Flying Swallow Rojie hurried over, squeezed into the crowd, and took any empty seat.

“Hey, what are Itachi guys talking about?”

“And where did all these snacks and drinks come from?”

The Martial Arts Rojie beside him said: “Magically conjured.”

“Since we can fully unleash our abilities in the Gray Mist Hall, conjuring snacks and drinks with magic is perfectly reasonable.”

Flying Swallow Rojie nodded: “Indeed. Very reasonable.”

At that moment, Marvel Rojie was speaking enthusiastically.

He pointed at Flying Swallow Rojie: “New guy, don’t interrupt.”

Then he continued without pause:

“Where was I?”

“Ah yes—I was talking about my new superhero company.”

“I’ve signed the Avengers, the top-tier team, and even pulled in second-tier heroes like Electro and Daredevil.”

“And just a few days ago, I met Wanda and Pietro.”

“I used the Mind Stone to awaken their powers—they’ve joined my company now.”

“I plan to turn them into the next generation of top stars!”

The Martial Arts Rojie nearly choked on his spicy strip:

“Holy shit, Itachi’ve already gotten this far?”

“I haven’t been to the Gray Mist Hall in a while—how did Itachi end up running a superhero company?”

“And Wanda and Pietro?”

“If any of us Rojies ever get transported to the X-Men world, won’t we run into Wanda and Pietro too?”

Marvel Rojie shrugged, his tone casual: “What’s strange about that?”

“It’s just parallel worlds.”

“Besides, I know Wanda really well.”

“Wanda just started learning English from me—no, wait, magic.”

“I have high hopes for her—she’ll definitely become my top-tier hero.”

At that moment, Marvel Rojie suddenly slapped his thigh as if remembering something:

“Oh, I almost forgot to mention something big.”

He lowered his voice with a mysterious grin:

“Former President Matthew Ellis just stepped down.”

“Captain America has been elected as the new president.”

Everyone turned to stare at him.

The Martial Arts Rojie stared in shock:

“How the hell did Itachi get him to obey Itachi?”

“Wasn’t Captain America against running for president? How did he suddenly become a political heavyweight?”

Marvel Rojie, upon hearing this, crossed his legs and smirked:

“Because I promised him a huge favor.”

“I reversed Peggy Carter’s aging.”

The Martial Arts Rojie frowned: “Wait—doesn’t Peggy have an older version of Captain America from the future living with her?”

“How can Itachi make her young again? What happens to the future Captain America?”

Marvel Rojie smiled faintly: “That version of Captain America didn’t come.”

“Probably because of my time travel.”

“I adjusted the timeline slightly.”

“Now Captain America doesn’t have to agonize over his future self anymore.”

“He only has one thing on his mind now.”

“Becoming president.”

Everyone fell silent.

Then Marvel Rojie suddenly turned his gaze to the Martial Arts Rojie.

“Where have Itachi been?”

“Itachi haven’t shown up in the Gray Mist Hall for a while.”

Everyone turned to look at the Martial Arts Rojie, eager to hear his tales.

The Martial Arts Rojie blinked, then chuckled awkwardly:

“Me?”

“I haven’t done anything big.”

“Didn’t I already tell Itachi?”

“I’m helping Duke Duan find his lost daughters.”

“And making sure only I become Duke Duan’s son-in-law.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a chorus of boos erupted in the Gray Mist Hall.

Comprehensive Martial Arts Rojie waved his hand, his expression serious:

“Don’t misunderstand—I’m just a diligent Daughter Recovery Officer.”

“Not long ago, I traveled south of the Yangtze and found Zhu and Wang Yuyan.”

Marvel Rojie continued: “And what did Itachi do next?”

Comprehensive Martial Arts Rojie shot him a glare: “Don’t interrupt.”

“After returning from the south, I went to the Western Regions.”

“To find Duan Wang’s last daughter, Azi.”

“Coincidentally, she had just stolen the Divine Wood King Cauldron and was barely on the run when I ran straight into her.”

“I gave Azi a quick lesson and confiscated her King Cauldron.”

“I originally planned to take her back to Dali and give her a proper reeducation.”

Comprehensive Martial Arts Rojie paused, lowering his voice: “But recently, I heard the Six Sects have gathered at Brightness Peak, preparing to besiege the Ming Cult.”
