After the Mephisto incident, Johnny officially established a relationship with Roxanne, and Johnny has not performed any more stunts since then.

Although there is no job, there is no income, but relying on his previous desperate performances, Johnny has made enough money to spend several lifetimes, so he is not too worried about expenses.

Following the address Johnny gave him, Lu Qi found his house.

Lu Qi knocked on the door, and not long after, Johnny's assistant and best friend came over and opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" Mack carefully opened a crack in the door and asked Lu Qi.

"I'm looking for Johnny."

"Well, I'm sorry, although I know you miss Johnny very much, but now Johnny has some other things to deal with, and there won't be any flying performances for the time being." Mack said this long paragraph skillfully, which made Lu Qi feel a little strange.

"Johnny What happened to him?"

"You're not his fan?" Mack asked strangely.

Lu Qi thought for a while, "Although I have seen his performance, I think I am not a fan of his yet, and this time I also want to see him because of something, and he told me the address."

With that said, Lu Qi opened his mobile phone and revealed the message Johnny had sent to him.

"Does that mean you are his friend? It's strange, I didn't know he had a friend like you."

You still don't know that he has a first love.

Lu Qi rolled his eyes helplessly, "How about you ask that guy Johnny?"

Mack thought for a moment, "Good idea."

After saying that, Mack closed the door tightly and ran to ask Johnny.

Relying on his strong hearing, Lu Qi also heard the conversation between Johnny and Mack inside.

"There is a person outside who knows you and wants to see you for something."

"Are you sure? The last person you said that almost jumped up and knocked me down. The key is that he was a big fat man!"

Johnny's helpless voice came out, making Mack look a little embarrassed.

"Of course, I was careless, but you can't blame me entirely, right? That guy ran like a tank, and I couldn't stop him at all."

"Stop talking so much, go and send that guy away first."

"I think you need to go check out the situation. Does that guy have the messages you sent him on his phone?"

"Information?" Johnny muttered in confusion and quickly remembered something.

Hearing footsteps running over quickly, Lu Qi thought about it, and Dark Energy covered his body.

"Lu Qi, is that you?"

Before the door opened, the sound came out first. Johnny opened the door directly, but there was a guy standing outside the door who shocked him.

"Long time no see, Johnny, your number one fan is here to see you again."

Johnny looked at the guy standing outside the door and became nervous instantly, "How come you are still alive?"

Mephisto outside the door politely took off the hat on his head and gave a gentleman's salute to Johnny, "I'm not dead, of course I'm alive. And after my power weakens, the earth's defense array cannot detect me, and Lu Qi they don't know I'm here."

But Johnny's expression became a little strange, "Aren't you Mephisto...Lu Qi?"

'Mephisto''s expression froze, and then he looked at Johnny strangely, "How did you tell?"

"It's still the same thing. You can't imitate Mephisto's temperament. Without knowing it, that guy behaved more like a gentleman than those princes. If you say it, it still feels much worse..."

Lu Qi took off his disguise and looked at Johnny with his hands on his hips, "I originally wanted to play with you, but what's happened to you recently?"

Johnny sighed, "I just didn't perform any stunts for the time being, and then a group of fanatical fans came over to me and asked me what happened."

"You know, those fans became fanatical, but they didn't have any sense, which made me think about quitting the car show. Anyway, I have made enough money now to spend it."

"It's a good idea. After all, people can't live so tired and curled up. Sometimes they have to lie down flat." Lu Qi nodded. This guy was also funny when he said it.

Originally, after signing a contract with Mephisto, this guy tried to commit suicide several times without success, just because Mephisto was secretly playing tricks. But just because he couldn't die, Johnny started various desperate performances, but he survived.

At first, this guy thought it was Mephisto who was doing little tricks secretly and letting himself go more and more. But later when he chatted with Lu Qi, he realized that Mephisto didn't help him during his performance. He did everything by himself.

But knowing this, he didn't dare to let himself go as much as he did at the beginning, for fear that something might happen to him.

Although as Ghost Rider, he would not die, he still did not dare to waste his life.

After all, imagine a stunt driver who fails to fly over a helicopter, has his body cut in half by the propeller, and then turns into a flaming skeleton and gets up without anything happening.

If it really happened like this, the army would probably come to him with a fire truck the next day to chat with him.

In order to avoid the above things from happening, Johnny does not dare to perform any performances now, which makes his fans very crazy. He obviously broke the world record one day and achieved the pinnacle of his life. How can he start to fail the next day?

After chatting for a while, Mack walked out of the kitchen with a pot of juice.

"Why don't you come in and chat instead of outside the door?"

While Lu Qi and Johnny were chatting, the Ancient One was working hard to adapt Earth Formation in his attic. On the side, the soul of Mordo was writing diligently at the table, helping the Ancient One correct some internal business documents of Kamar-Taj.

Poor Mordo is already being exploited by Blackheart capitalist the Ancient One while he is still in his soul state. He is still enjoying it and thinks this is a sign of the Ancient One's trust in him.

Just then, there was a knock on the small attic door.

Mordo glanced at the Ancient One, who was still carefully modifying the magic circle, and then floated towards the door. After a little trick, Mordo was able to touch objects in the soul state and open the door directly.

"Hello, the Ancient One..." Before Wanda finished speaking, he saw a 'person' floating in the air in front of him, looking at him, and he was stunned for a moment.

Pietro next to him couldn't see Mordo's soul. He could only see a hand floating in the air. He was shocked and speechless for a while.

Looking at the two people, Mordo nodded, "Are you here to see Ancient One?"

Wanda nodded blankly, and Mordo floated upward upon seeing this.

"Come with me."

Passing directly through the floor, Mordo's figure disappeared in front of Wanda.

"Here, where was that hand just now? Is that the monster created by the mage's evil experiment?"

Pietro watched in shock as the hand flying in the air disappeared, and couldn't help but look around nervously in the attic.

Wanda shook his head, "That's not a monster, I feel... it's a soul. He asked me to go up just now, and the Ancient One he said was on top."

Pietro looked at his sister's speech in a daze, feeling once again how weak, pitiful and helpless he was as an ordinary superpower.

The two of them walked up to the attic carefully and saw a complex magic circle condensed in Ancient One's hands, which was constantly being modified.

Wanda looked to the side and saw Mordo floating over with a pot of tea. He glanced sideways at her and said, "Come here and wait a moment. Ancient One is busy."

Wanda pulled Pietro, who could not see anything, to the tea table and watched as Mordo poured a cup of tea for herself, held it in her hand and took a sip. The gentle fragrance of the tea immediately relieved her nervousness.

Ancient One looked sideways, and Wanda didn't know what emotions were in their eyes.

After walking around inside Kamar-Taj with my brother, Wanda learned a lot about things inside Kamar-Taj.

Including this person's status and strength, it also includes the two financial backers of Kamar-Taj. And their target, Tony, is one of these two financial backers.

To be honest, when they found out that Tony was one of the people talking about Kamar-Taj, it also made Wanda and Pietro feel particularly complicated.

I originally thought that I had found a paradise where I could learn from my master with peace of mind, but then there was a story like "brothers and sisters who bear a blood feud, accidentally join a mysterious sect, learn powerful skills, and after coming out, make their original enemies kneel down and beg for mercy".

But, why is it that my enemy is the boss of the mysterious sect?

(Seems like a good novel subject)

After being isolated for a while, the two siblings also decided to stay here.

After all, to talk about a relatively humble thing, although they regard Tony as their enemy, others don't even know their names, let alone know that they want to take revenge on him.

Then I decided to lie dormant here, learning skills from a teacher, and waiting for the opportunity to make a move. Anyway, Tony is also the financier here, so it is impossible to just throw Kamar-Taj aside.

But maybe they don't know that two of the three people Kamar-Taj is most effective at speaking to are aware of their relationship with Tony...

(It feels more and more like a good novel subject)

After some discussion, the two siblings nervously approached the Ancient One.

After an unknown amount of time, the Ancient One finally finished what he was doing and came to the tea table.

"So, you are planning to stay here?"

"Yes, we feel that we can learn a lot here and the living conditions are very good. Staying here is a good choice."

Pietro said first, "We also inspected here before coming here. My sister and I don't have to hide our abilities here. We can earn living expenses here, so that we can live a good life."

The Ancient One nodded and looked at the two people who were acting very nervous. They were not so restrained before. It seemed that they had found out about Tony. However, although it is troublesome to talk about it, you only need to talk to these two people to resolve their misunderstanding.

But she doesn't have much time recently, so she can leave this matter to Lu Qi. Anyway, this guy is quite free recently.

Just as he was thinking this, a sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Lu Qi walked up and placed Corvus Glaive's weapon on the table.

"This thing has been taken care of. You can try to fuse it with Mordo."

The Ancient One also put aside the matter between the two brothers and sisters for the time being, looked at Mordo who was a little nervous, and nodded towards him.

"Don't worry, Lu Qi and I are on the side and will ensure your safety."

After receiving the Ancient One's assurance, Mordo was no longer so nervous. Lu Qi looked at the two brothers and sisters who didn't understand the situation and pulled them aside.

After vacating the place, Mordo came to the table, looked at the Glaive, put his hand on it, and tried to communicate with this weapon.

Suddenly, Mordo's soul was sucked into Glaive, but due to the induction of the Ancient One and Lu Qi, his soul was not harmed. Instead, it continued to merge with Glaive, filling the vacancy inside.

After being completely integrated with Glaive, streams of energy emerged from Glaive, gradually forming a human form, which made Lu Qi smile. However, as the human form became more and more realistic, Lu Qi's expression changed drastically.

Let me go, this Glaive burned the human body without giving it a piece of clothing? It is obvious that Mordo's soul state also visualized the clothes.

Considering that there were two ladies present, Lu Qi directly raised Dark Energy and covered Mordo inside to avoid the need for several people to wash their eyes later.

Directly put Mordo into Mirror Dimension, and Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the Ancient One who was also a little speechless, Lu Qi shrugged, "It seems that Thanos's technology is not good either. They can't even make clothes."

He ordered a Ninja Soldier to go to Mordo's room to find some clothes. Lu Qi walked to the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, poured it directly into his mouth, and relieved his thirst.

"So you are going to stay here?"

Lu Qi looked back at the two reserved people on the side and asked casually. Pietro quickly said what he just said again.

After listening to Pietro's sophistry, Lu Qi also knew what they were thinking and was thinking about how to have a heart-to-heart talk with these two guys. Ninja Soldier appeared in front of him, holding some clothes in his hand.

"Okay, just throw it in for him." Seeing that there was a Sling Ring in the pile of clothes, Lu Qi also liked Ninja Soldier's considerate service, and then threw the pile of stuff into Mirror Dimension.

Not long after, a portal opened in the room, and Mordo walked out of it holding Glaive, smiling at Lu Qi and the Ancient One.

"You are finally back." Lu Qi smiled at Mordo, but before Mordo could shed tears, Lu Qi said directly, "The factory has been shut down for a long time. You should hurry up and reorganize the factory."

Mordo had just finished showing the moved expression on his face when he was choked by Lu Qi.

Sighing helplessly, Mordo took the Glaive in his hand and said to Lu Qi, "Although Glaive burned my body, my body cannot exist independently. I still need to hold this weapon all the time."

Lu Qi nodded, "That's okay, just hold Glaive."

After saying that, Lu Qi took out a small notebook and said, "This Glaive is not only extremely sharp and can cut atoms, but it can also make you immortal. It is very precious. I won't charge you more money. If you work for me, I'll probably pay it off after a thousand years of work, okay?"

(I wish you all a happy National Day. Although it's a bit late, I still wish you all a good time in the next seven days!)
