Luo Bai felt somewhat fortunate.
Luckily, the Goddess of Luck had not abandoned him. She had still saved him at the critical moment.
Luo Bai even felt a little happy, a smile appearing on his face.
But Tony Stark could not smile at all. He asked in shock, "Wait. Why did Obadiah disappear?!"
He simply could not understand how such a large Obadiah had suddenly vanished!?
"He went into the portal himself and got sent away," Luo Bai explained.
A portal?!
"What the hell is that?!" Tony Stark asked, his brow furrowing even deeper.
"A Mystic Door... it's spatial Teleportation Magic," Luo Bai continued explaining.
Though he made it sound casual, Tony Stark could not calm down at all.
"Magic?! Are you kidding me?!" Tony Stark cried out, nearly screaming.
Luo Bai calmly and seriously asked back, "Do I look like I'm joking?!"
It was hard to believe.
But thinking of how Obadiah had suddenly disappeared just now, no matter how unbelievable it was, Tony Stark had no choice but to believe it.
"Honestly, I'd only ever seen magic on TV before... Magic actually exists in this world?! That's not scientific!!" Tony Stark exclaimed again, his mouth hanging wide open.
In truth, the Marvel Universe had never been an ordinary modern world.
Mages, superpowered individuals... such beings were everywhere.
Still, it was normal for Tony Stark, an ordinary human, to know nothing about these supernatural phenomena.
Thinking of that, Luo Bai could not help replying, "That's because you still know too little about this world."
Tony Stark's face darkened. He replied in disbelief, "It's hard to imagine that you're the one saying that to me... You look a full ten years younger than me!"
Come on, Luo Bai looked like a college student.
Tony Stark was already in his thirties!
Getting mocked by a college student for knowing too little about the world?!
Though it was hard to accept.
Looking at things now... he really did know too little.
"So the reason you always appear out of nowhere is because of this magic stuff too?!" Tony Stark asked.
"Mm... more or less," Luo Bai answered. After all, he had no better explanation.
"So you're actually a mage?!" Tony Stark asked again.
Luo Bai nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I'm a mage."
Tony Stark said nothing, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Who knew how long it took before he finally came back to his senses and asked a crucial question: "So where did you send Obadiah with that magic just now?! Will he come back?!"
Where had he sent him?!
Luo Bai froze.
Honestly, he was not entirely sure either.
After all, when he had opened the portal just now, he had wanted to go home, so he had set the destination as his villa.
But because he was not yet proficient with Teleportation Magic, Luo Bai had noticed when the portal opened... that the other side did not seem to be his villa, but an unfamiliar place.
But before he could take a closer look at where exactly he had opened the portal to... Obadiah had charged inside.
Where had he been sent?!
Luo Bai wondered inwardly.
Meanwhile.
The main hall of Kamar-Taj.
Gu Yi and Obadiah... were staring at each other.
The two remained silent for about five seconds before Obadiah finally exploded in rage. "Shit! Where is this?! Where's Tony! Where did he go?!!!"
"This is Kamar-Taj. Tony Stark is currently in New York," Gu Yi replied calmly.
"Kamar-Taj?! What kind of bullshit place is that?!!" Obadiah demanded furiously.
Gu Yi remained calm and indifferent. "Kamar-Taj is located in Kathmandu. It is a sacred land of magic."
"A sacred land of magic?! Are you kidding me?! I was in New York just a second ago, and now you're telling me I'm in Nepal?!" Obadiah said in disbelief, his face screaming that he did not believe it.
Just a moment ago, he had been fighting Tony Stark.
Then, the next second, a bald woman appeared and told him he had come to Kathmandu?! The capital of Nepal?!
And she was talking about magic?!
How could he possibly believe that?!
"I get it. You're in cahoots with Tony and that brat Luo Bai! I didn't expect Tony to have so many helpers! Then I'll deal with you, baldy, first, and then kill Tony! Die, baldy!" Obadiah cursed.
As he spoke, he raised his steel arm and prepared to fire its cannon at Gu Yi.
But before he could fire.
Gu Yi raised her hand and struck Obadiah's steel armor with her palm.
The next second, Obadiah's soul separated from his body and floated into the air.
"OMG!! What the—?!"
Obadiah was completely dumbfounded.
Wait?!
Was he dead?!
How had he... ascended to heaven?!
"Who are you??! I-I, what happened to me?!!" Obadiah asked in shock.
He had originally thought that once he possessed the Iron Monger, he would be invincible.
Yet he had unexpectedly run into some kind of immortal?!
She had slapped his soul right out of his body?!
Obadiah completely panicked. Only then did he finally realize how terrifying the bald woman before him was.
"This is the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj," Mordo, who had been standing nearby, stepped forward and answered.
Sorcerer Supreme?!
No way?!
He had encountered a real mage?!
"So how did I get here?!" Obadiah asked miserably. He was genuinely completely confused.
But even Mordo did not know how he had gotten here.
"You seem to have been teleported here. But who would teleport you to Kamar-Taj?!" Mordo muttered.
He seemed to be answering Obadiah, but he sounded more like he was talking to himself.
Unable to contain his confusion, he turned to look at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi's face remained expressionless, as though she already knew the answer.
"It was Luo Bai," Gu Yi answered.
"Luo Bai?! That college student following Tony?! He's a mage too?!" Obadiah asked, surprise in his voice.
"Yes." Gu Yi nodded. "Although he has not undergone formal training, from the looks of it, he has indeed already become a mage."
Obadiah fell silent.
He was still rather shocked.
What?!
Luo Bai looked like nothing more than a fragile college student, yet he was a mage too?!
Of course.
He was not the only one shocked. Mordo, standing nearby, was also somewhat surprised.
"Luo Bai?! Sorcerer Supreme, I have never heard the name you just mentioned," Mordo said curiously.
As Kamar-Taj's senior disciple and Gu Yi's first student, he knew every newly enrolled mage.
After all, he was currently mainly responsible for training new mages. Yet strangely, he had never heard of a mage named "Luo Bai" at Kamar-Taj.
Gu Yi quickly gave him an answer. "He is an anomaly, so I did not bring him back to Kamar-Taj. Instead, I gave him a book and let him study on his own. I wanted to verify some things."
Mordo was stunned when he heard that.
"Sorcerer Supreme, you mean... he taught himself magic?!" Mordo asked in astonishment.
Gu Yi nodded. "Yes, and he did it in about a week."
What the hell?!
He had taught himself Teleportation Magic after studying for only about a week?!
This was... a genius!
