Scarlet Witch
2008, Los Angeles.
Evening.
The Batman filming set.
"Cut!"
With the director's call, today's shooting finally wrapped up.
A woman in a tight suit and an eye mask walked briskly toward the outside of the filming area.
It was Annie, who played Catwoman!
After stepping outside, Annie glanced around, seemingly looking for something.
Until she saw a business car parked by the side of the road, and her eyes lit up.
Entering the car, Annie's gaze fell upon a young and handsome man in the back seat, and she spoke in a spoiled tone.
"Darling, you haven't come to see me for a long time!"
"Annie, you know as well that maintaining the normal operation of a company is no simple matter!"
Saying this, Xu Mo handed her the flowers in his hand.
With the flowers in hand, all the lingering resentment in Annie's heart instantly vanished. With a sweet smile on her face, she naturally slid into Xu Mo's lap.
"Thank you, I love them!"
Xu Mo wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
The front and back of the car were separated and fitted with soundproofing materials, so the driver could not see what was happening in the back.
As Xu Mo reached out and pressed a button nearby, the car slowly started.
"Host detected, system binding in progress!"
A mechanical voice abruptly appeared in Xu Mo's mind.
What the hell!!
Xu Mo, who had been closing his eyes and enjoying himself in the car, suddenly opened his eyes and let out an exclamation.
After waiting for twenty years, the golden finger had finally arrived!
That was right, Xu Mo was a time-traveler.
To be precise, he was reincarnated.
He was born into a Chinese-American family in New York.
He originally thought he had been reborn into the United States of the nineties, but until he saw Stark Industries appear on television, he realized that he had been reborn into the Marvel world.
It was that very world where villains emerged endlessly and threatened to destroy all mankind at every turn.
Moreover, these villains were stronger than the last.
Not to mention Thanos, the director of population control in the universe who racked his brains to wipe out half the universe's population, and the Celestials sleeping deep within the earth's core.
Earth's native villains alone were countless, each one wanting to destroy all humanity at any moment.
Take Magneto, the man who loved grand entrances.
This world not only had those superheroes, but also the existence of mutants, naturally including the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters led by Professor X, as well as the Brotherhood established by Old Wan.
The only good news was.
Judging from the information collected over the years, this world belonged to the cinematic universe.
Compared to the comic book universe, the cinematic universe was undoubtedly much safer.
His parents ran a medium-sized film and television company.
However, five years ago, the two of them passed away together in a car accident.
After taking over the film and television company left behind by his parents, Xu Mo relied on his memories of his past life to shoot a series of cinematic masterpieces, making a fortune.
Then he invested that money elsewhere.
Today, he could already be considered one of the top wealthy elites in the United States.
Suppressing his excitement, he began to communicate with the system in his mind.
A few minutes later.
He understood.
Although the system was now bound, it was not yet activated. To activate it, he needed to get married as soon as possible, and the greater the potential or strength of the marriage partner, the better the novice reward obtained after activation.
Marry a woman with high strength?
In an instant, one name after another surfaced in Xu Mo's mind.
Speaking of the Marvel world, there was no shortage of powerful females, but those in the first tier were just a few.
In the end, only four names remained in his mind.
The Ancient One, Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, and Captain Marvel!
The strength of these four individuals was undoubtedly Earth's strongest quartet.
Since the rewards fluctuated, Xu Mo naturally strove to obtain the highest-level reward.
The first was The Ancient One.
As the Sorcerer Supreme, her strength was naturally unquestionable.
If she had not died, where would Thanos have ever gotten the chance to snap that finger.
He would have had his fingers snapped right off!
Unfortunately, not to mention the issue of her age, whether Xu Mo could accept it was one thing.
Even if he could accept it, she had to agree to it as well. If he really dared to propose such a thing in front of The Ancient One, even with her composure, she would probably not be able to help but subject him to a human-annihilation treatment.
This one was directly passed!
Phoenix, according to the original plotline, should have already died at Wolverine's hands by this time, but this was a fused world, and Xu Mo could not be certain!
However, even if she wasn't dead, he couldn't choose this one.
After all, she had no way to control the energy within her body. Staying by her side was like holding a time bomb.
Who knows when she might lose control one day and he would be caught in the crossfire.
Directly crushed into slag.
Passed as well!
The remaining ones were Wanda and Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel was currently playing Superman in some corner of the universe.
Pass!
In the end, the only one he could choose was Wanda.
The Scarlet Witch with her fully awakened Chaos Magic was undoubtedly the ceiling of combat power in the Marvel world.
Even before becoming the Scarlet Witch, she could tear Thanos apart with her bare hands.
If she transformed into the witch before Thanos arrived, Thanos would probably turn into a Infinity Stone delivery man, the kind who went offline after a single order.
At this point in time, Pietro and Wanda were still two ordinary people living in Sokovia, a small country in Western Europe.
Relying on his "money superpower," it was a very simple matter to win her over.
This was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
Having made his decision, Xu Mo let out a long breath.
He picked up the phone nearby, found a number, and dialed out.
"Boss!"
A woman's sweet voice came through the phone.
"Avril, have Sauron and the others gather at the stronghold tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, boss!"
Secretary Avril agreed, and then continued to speak.
"Boss, currently our assets on the U.S. side have basically all been sold off, except for the film company and Stark Group stock!"
"Also, regarding the companies in China that you proposed to acquire, I have already sent the information on some of the major companies over there to your email. You can take a look when you have time!"
"Okay, got it!"
Xu Mo nodded and then hung up the phone.
In the Marvel world, without special abilities, staying in the United States was undoubtedly a foolish choice.
After all, almost all the major events in this world happened here, especially New York, which was the center of the universe and an even more frequent site of incidents.
Xu Mo naturally had wanted to leave long ago.
Unfortunately, his parents had insisted on staying here previously.
He couldn't possibly just tell them that an alien invasion would greet this place in a few years.
If he really said that, their first thought probably wouldn't be whether to agree or not, but rather to help him find a reliable psychiatric hospital.
And he couldn't just abandon the two of them.
However, after the elderly couple passed away, Xu Mo seized a few-year period of stability to make a killing. As Tony became Iron Man and the major events of the Marvel universe officially kicked off, he formally initiated his plan to leave the United States.
And if there was one place that was the safest in this world, it had to be China.
Aside from Thanos snapping his fingers, which was completely unavoidable, hiding within China's borders was still relatively safe.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mo threw the phone aside and fell into deep thought.
Once the system was activated, he would also need to reformulate his future plans.
