This Time, Lying Low Wasn't an Option

This was a woman who could travel through time. Sean had no desire whatsoever to deal with her.

Among Marvel's big shots, there were hardly any who were mentally normal. Better to be careful.

Just as he was about to have Yuriko make another round, he saw the woman walk straight toward the clinic door.

And miraculously...

The clinic door opened by itself!

Telekinesis?

Or

Magic?

"Go! We're heading straight to Queens!"

Sean's philosophy was to hide whenever he could~

If he really couldn't avoid it, then he'd deal with it. This woman gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. If he got entangled with her, he was afraid it wouldn't end well.

He also called Linda and told her and Ava not to come back for the time being. If they were done with their business, they could go get a drink or something. In any case, they were not to return to the clinic.

His wonderful mood was instantly ruined by this woman who had appeared out of nowhere. White's expression was as dark as a Black man's.

Irritating!

The car drove less than a hundred meters before stopping at a red light.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The voice was somewhat androgynous, yet it carried a hint of fragility.

Sean's hairs stood on end. He was so startled he nearly had a heart attack!

"Crack~"

He whipped his head around, and the woman was sitting right beside him!

"Um... who are you, ma'am?"

This was a textbook case of being unable to avoid someone. Sean suddenly relaxed.

"You saw me yesterday. You even touched me."

The woman spoke blandly.

"Don't make things up. I never touched you. I did see those clothes of yours, but as for your face... I really didn't see it yesterday!"

Sean glanced at Yuriko, whose fingers were behaving strangely, and said, "Keep driving."

He didn't dare have Yuriko attack. This woman was too mysterious. Without knowing what cards she had up her sleeve, it was better not to make an enemy of her.

"My aura is on you. We definitely came into contact. Why deny it?"

Her tone had been calm at first, but her final sentence suddenly turned shrill.

It was as if Sean had done something utterly unforgivable. Sean felt pretty wronged too. If they were talking about contact, that wasn't exactly false. At the beginning, he'd been sent flying a long way by a single hit.

"Deny it? No. Based on my personal experience, I can state with certainty that I never touched you voluntarily."

The woman stared into Sean's eyes, her gaze cold. A deep purple glow coiled around her hand like ribbons.

Magic~ Sean already had a good idea.

There weren't many people in the Marvel world who could use magic.

None of the people he knew matched a woman like this.

Black hair, black eyes, and magic? Sean had no clue who she was.

A trace of mockery appeared on the woman's face. "Men truly are exceptionally skilled at deception!"

What a huge accusation. She'd just slapped it onto the heads of more than three billion people!

She was probably traumatized after being deceived by someone of the opposite sex~

Sean decided to stop talking.

"I'm looking for someone."

Sean remained silent.

"He should be living in an era close to the present."

Sean remained silent.

"His name is Victor."

Sean was still silent.

"I need you to help me find him!"

The woman didn't care about Sean's reaction and continued speaking to herself. Her commanding tone at the end made Sean rather unhappy.

He hadn't even held this woman accountable for breaking into his home last night and injuring him, yet she had come back to order him around?

Just like what he'd said to the Python Queen before!

The shift in status had come so quickly that it caught him completely off guard.

"Um... who are you?"

The woman looked at Sean, her eyes utterly calm, and said evenly:

"Daughter of the Duke of Cornwall, adopted daughter of Arthur Pendragon, witch Morgan le Fay. Is that enough?"

(;?Д?i-!)

That was more than enough... How many years ago had she lived?!

The era of King Arthur... Didn't that mean there was also a mage named Merlin? That explained where this woman's magic came from...

"Did you learn magic from Merlin?"

The woman gave Sean a strange look.

"I didn't expect anyone to still know Merlin."

So she admitted it! A student of that old scheming bastard Merlin! Sean's mouth tasted bitter. He felt like he couldn't keep lying low anymore...

"Do you have any other information about the person you're looking for? A name like Victor isn't enough. There are probably eight or ten thousand people named Victor in Manhattan alone."

"He can travel through time. When I followed his time trail, I encountered an extremely powerful barrier and was thrown into this era. But I can sense that it shouldn't be far from the era he is in."

That was what Morgan said.

The moment Sean heard that, he slapped a label on Morgan le Fay: naive fool!

She was far too honest!

"Yeah, time travel isn't something just anyone can do. There will always be clues. But we need to reach an agreement."

"What agreement?"

"I can help you find Victor, but what kind of reward will you pay me?"

"I'll give you an opportunity to pledge loyalty to me!"

Please provide the text you would like me to translate or revise. I am ready to process it according to your instructions.

Give him an opportunity? Wasn't that exactly the same thing he'd told the Python Queen?!

Sean's expression didn't change as he asked:

"Are there any benefits to pledging loyalty to you?"

"Status! Power! Wealth! All of it will follow!"

At that point, Sean suddenly lost interest in arguing with this witch. She couldn't even grasp her own situation.

Pledge loyalty?

Talking about loyalty without offering anything was a joke.

"I'm interested in wealth. You can keep that wonderful opportunity to pledge loyalty. You only need to give me enough wealth. Forget someone named Victor—even if his name were Thanos, I could find him for you!"

Morgan le Fay nodded as though she half understood. That counted as accepting Sean's terms.

The Black Ledger faithfully recorded the transaction between them:

Morgan le Fay would provide Sean with an amount of wealth he deemed sufficient.

Sean White would help Morgan le Fay find Victor.

As for the exact amount and time limit... Heh heh~ A massive pit was beckoning to this witch!

By the time they finished talking, the car had crossed Roosevelt Island and entered Queens.

Morgan le Fay's figure turned insubstantial, then vanished from the car.

Abilities this mysterious were the most troublesome. If he could help it, Sean truly didn't want anything to do with her.

Only after the witch disappeared did Sean call Linda and tell her the crisis was over and that she could return to the clinic whenever she wanted.

It never occurred to him that Linda Carter was a wealthy woman with her own house in New York. Why did she have to live at the clinic?

Worrying for nothing!

He found a café in Queens and prepared to sit around with Yuriko until evening.

Yet before even half an hour had passed, Linda called.

"Doctor White! Doctor Ava is fighting that woman from yesterday!"

"Motherfucker~" Sean was so angry he nearly smashed his phone. "Is our clinic all right?"

"It's all right... but I think it's only a matter of time before it collapses~"

Linda Carter was standing in the street right then, staring at the clinic as dust continually burst out from it. She had no confidence at all.

After hanging up, Sean's face darkened like water.

"Back to the clinic!"

Lying low wasn't an option anymore~

This was definitely going to blow up!
