"What? As the guardian of Earth's Magic World, do I need to report to you every place I go? If I hadn't come, when were you planning to report to Kamar-Taj that someone had passed through the 'Reality Hub'?"
Handing over half a bag of tangerines as a gift, Su Ming walked into the living room irritably, turned on the television and raised the volume, then dropped onto the sofa.
The disheveled middle-aged man rubbed his stubble and smiled somewhat sheepishly. "No, that's not what I meant. Someone really did slip through The Great Marsh into the Reality Dimension last night. I chased them all night and still didn't catch them. I was just about to get some sleep before continuing the search, and then you showed up."
Su Ming waved a hand, signaling everyone to sit, then made the introductions.
"Professor Xu, this is Leonid Tesla, codename Navigator. He's also an honorary graduate of Kamar-Taj and has been stationed in Orange Town all this time, responsible for monitoring the Reality Hub. Leonid, this is Professor Xu, a Master of Atmospheric Magic. Her magical name is Cinderella, and she's the S.P.E.A.R. Agency's Occult Consultant."
All three could communicate in Chinese, which at least ensured confidentiality. After Leonid and Xu Xian exchanged a few pleasantries, he went to the refrigerator to fetch tangerine juice for them.
Orange tangerine juice sat in a beautiful glass pitcher, looking very enticing. Though he lived here alone, the house was kept spotless, and he even had a full set of teacups for guests.
After pouring drinks for the two masters, he sat down and asked, "Didn't the S.P.E.A.R. Agency usually stay out of overseas affairs? Why did Professor Xu come to Florida with you this time?"
No one knew who Leonid had learned Chinese from,
