American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

"I'm causing trouble for no reason???"

Mephisto doubted if he had misheard. Having lost his son, lost his duplication, he now sought the Sorcerer Supreme to reason with him.

You say I'm causing trouble for no reason?

"Ancient One!"

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to fight you!?"

Mephisto's anger had reached its peak.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense.

A battle was about to break out.

"Stop pretending."

However, the Ancient One seemed unaffected by the intense atmosphere.

She picked up a glass of water from the coffee table, took a sip, and casually said,

"If you wanted to make a move, you would have done so already. Why wait until now?"

Mephisto fell silent.

A sinister and cunning smile once again appeared on his face.

"You really can't hide anything from you, magician."

"But can you protect this boy, protect the Earth for much longer?"

"The power you stole, although it allowed you to live for hundreds of years, but... you must be losing control, right?"

"Ancient One, your remaining lifespan is not much."

Mephisto leaned back in his chair, as if regaining the upper hand.

The Ancient One paused for a moment after putting down the teacup.

Then she moved again.

"So what?"

"Before I die, would you dare to make a move?"

The Ancient One put down the teacup.

Her aura began to rise steadily.

This was the first time Chu Xiu felt the power possessed by the Ancient One, ancient, vast, and immense.

This aura, with overwhelming force, instantly overshadowed Mephisto, engulfing him.

"You..."

Mephisto, who was just leaning on the chair earlier,

Had to sit up straight.

Facing the Ancient One seriously.

"Please leave, Mephisto."

"The next time you come seeking justice, remember... Kamar-Taj has never been a place for reasoning."

Ancient One issued a strong order to drive away the guests.

He didn't give Mephisto, who is also a heavenly father, any face.

"I see through you."

Mephisto gritted his teeth.

But he still didn't dare to flip the table and fight with Ancient One.

He could only leave with anger, and before leaving, he gave Chu Xiu a fierce glare.

But just as Mephisto was about to teleport back to hell.

Chu Xiu took out a card.

"Guests are always welcome."

"I'll see you off."

In Mephisto's puzzled gaze.

Chu Xiu activated the exorcism ritual.

A white light flashed.

Even someone as strong as Mephisto had no resistance.

In just an instant, he was enveloped by the white light and thrown back into the fiery hell in a rather ungraceful posture.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Mephisto, who enjoyed a free ride, not only didn't show gratitude.

Instead, he screamed hysterically in hell.

"Chu Xiu!"

"I swear to kill you!"

"A thousand times! Not enough!!!"

The familiar curses continued.

Perhaps this is the common language of the various hells.

"Lord Satan! Lord Satan!"

Just as Mephisto was going crazy.

One of his demon generals quickly ran over, anxiously reporting:

"Lord Satan, during the time you were away, Ghost Rider broke in!"

"And took away the burning soul named Eli!"

The demon general had obvious burn marks from iron chains on his body.

Obviously, he had recently experienced a big battle.

Mephisto was stunned.

Suddenly, he no longer went crazy.

It seemed like there were many things he wanted to say but couldn't say a word.

"Step back, I want to be alone for a while."

After a long time, Mephisto finally spoke slowly.

Kamar-Taj.

"Silver ear bird's nest, you can eat it as a meal, I'll buy it for you after you finish..."

"This is an essence lotion from a brand that hasn't been released yet. It's excellent for whitening and nourishing. You can use it as a toner..."

"Eat and drink whatever you want, just tell me..."

Chu Xiu took out a pile of gift boxes from his belt and placed them in front of the Ancient One. There were things to eat, drink, and use.

"Don't play these tricks with me."

The Ancient One had a stern face.

She didn't even look at the gift boxes on the table.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu knew he had to play his trump card. He took out a bank card.

"Elder, I actually know that the economic situation of our Kamar-Taj has not been good."

"The expenses for the brothers and sisters are quite high. Look at Wang, he has been losing weight recently."

"There's not much money in the account..."

"Just a little over fifty million, a small token of appreciation."

Chu Xiu placed the bank card on the table and pushed it forward, pushing it in front of the Ancient One.

"During the time you were away from Kamar-Taj..."

"You learned this outside?"

The Ancient One accused Chu Xiu on the surface.

But secretly, she quietly put the bank card into her pocket.

There was no other way.

Just as Chu Xiu said.

The economic situation of Kamar-Taj has always been bleak.

Although everyone can perform magic, the biggest rule of Kamar-Taj is not to abuse magic.

Not to mention using magic to make money by breaking the rules of the mundane world.

Therefore.

Kamar-Taj is poor, really poor!

Their main source of income is a gift shop they operate.

Sometimes, when they are really poor, the magicians have to go down the mountain to earn some extra money themselves.

For example, in the American TV series "She-Hulk," there was a scene where Wang went down the mountain and fought fake boxing with Zeng'en.

Even though they were already so poor...

But the Ancient One is still the Sorcerer Supreme, the elder, and she still has to maintain some dignity.

"Cough cough, don't do these meaningless things in the future."

"You go and solve the matter with Strange quickly, that would be a great help to me."

...........0

Ancient One cleared their throat.

They pretended to be serious and said, "Good!"

"The mud truck is ready!"

"I will go and create Doctor Strange right away!"

Seeing Ancient One accept the bank card, Chu Xiu jokingly smiled.

Humming a little tune.

Satisfied, they left Kamar-Taj.

"Sigh."

Watching Chu Xiu's departing figure.

Ancient One shook their head.

Then, using telepathy magic, they called for Wong.

"Elder, did you summon me?"

Soon.

Wong's chubby figure appeared in front of Ancient One.

"You haven't slimmed down."

Ancient One muttered, then directly handed the bank card to Wong.

"That kid had a change of heart, knowing about Kamar-Taj's financial difficulties, he gave us fifty million."

"Fifty million!?"

Learning that there were over fifty million in the account.

Wong was so startled that he almost dropped the card.

"By the Vishanti..."

"I've never seen so much money in my life."

Trembling, Wong felt that the card was scorching hot.

"Alright, you keep the money."

"Remember to improve the food in the cafeteria. Look at you, you're almost unrecognizably thin."

"Huh?"

"Am I thin?"

Wong lowered his head and looked at his big belly.

Just as he was wondering.

Ancient One waved their hand and sent him away with the card worth over fifty million.

From beginning to end.

Ancient One showed no expression towards the money.

But after seeing Wong off, they turned to the pile of miscellaneous gift boxes on the table.

However, they shook their head and smiled.

"What a waste of money."
