American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

"Damn it!"

"If only I had come half a year earlier!"

Chu Xiu slapped his thigh.

At this moment, Tony Stark had already discovered a new element and solved the palladium poisoning problem.

He missed out on the second biggest money-making opportunity for time travelers!

(The first one being the cave rescue)

"Hold on..."

"Did I miss something?"

Suddenly, Chu Xiu remembered.

The plot of Iron Man 3 seemed to take place after Avengers Alliance 1.

Because after carrying a nuclear bomb into a black hole, Tony Stark suffered from severe PTSD, and then his old rival, Killian, who developed Extremis, appeared. After that, it was the typical story of a superhero fighting against a villain.

"What a waste of such a nice house."

Recalling the entire plot of Iron Man 3.

Chu Xiu realized that he only cared about the beachfront villa that was destroyed.

No choice~

Poor~

By the way, how did the other time travelers make money?

Apart from Stark's two missions, it seems like the only option left is to rob each other, right?

Chu Xiu rubbed his chin, contemplating whether he should also borrow some money from the newbie village boss, Jin, to spend.

Boom!

Just as Chu Xiu was contemplating.

An explosion suddenly came from a distance on the street.

Followed by screeching brakes, gunshots, and cursing.

"???"

Chu Xiu hadn't figured out the situation yet.

But he saw all the other customers in the breakfast shop quickly crouching under their tables.

Their movements were swift and skilled.

Then, a cash transport truck whizzed past the window!

The blown-open trunk emitted billowing black smoke, and as it drove by, green banknotes scattered and filled the street.

"Is this a live-action version of 'Give Love to Him'?"

Chu Xiu instantly realized that it was a cash transport robbery.

Soon after, the sound of police sirens came from a distance.

The sound of helicopter rotor blades also echoed in the sky.

"No wonder it's Hell's Kitchen, at least three stars for this."

Adhering to the virtue of not wasting a good show.

Chu Xiu decisively got up.

"Young man!"

"Are you crazy? Get down quickly!"

Seeing someone about to leave, the Chinese auntie in the breakfast shop kindly reminded him.

Chu Xiu responded with a smile and walked out directly.

Just as he stepped out, a banknote, carrying the smell of gunpowder, happened to be blown over by the wind.

Chu Xiu caught it effortlessly.

Very good.

Another hundred in his pocket.

"What a simple and honest place."

Looking at the scattered hundred-dollar bills on the street, Chu Xiu didn't join in the money-grabbing frenzy.

Instead, he walked towards the direction the cash transport truck had left.

As he walked, he fully utilized the excellent virtue of "making a last-ditch effort."

He took out the magic book he borrowed from Wang and read it while walking.

"Tracking magic... this will do."

He picked up the banknote he had just caught.

Chu Xiu drew a symbol in the air and recited an incantation.

Just like the Ancient One said, most magic is just a framework, and any energy can make it work.

After finishing the incantation, the banknote in Chu Xiu's hand was immediately ignited by a sinister hellfire.

The ashes formed an arrow in the air, visible only to Chu Xiu, firmly pointing in one direction.

"One success!"

"Indeed, I am a one-in-a-million magic genius!"

Seeing the successful tracking magic, Chu Xiu was overjoyed.

He put away the magic book with the cover titled "Basic Practical Magic - Beginner's Edition" and followed the arrow.

................

On the other side, the police helicopter responsible for tracking in the air also lost sight of the target when the cash transport truck entered the D21 tunnel.

"Target lost! Target lost! The suspect driving the cash transport truck has entered the D21 tunnel."

"Requesting ground intervention."

The helicopter hovered in the air, waiting for the police cars to arrive. However, when they finally arrived at the tunnel, they found only an abandoned cash transport truck.

People are gone!

Money is gone!

"Classic!"

"So classic!"

Outside the tunnel.

Chu Xiu stood outside the newly erected barrier, watching with great interest.

Truly the European and American region.

This kind of Hollywood blockbuster can be seen casually.

"But seriously, how come there's no superhero to deal with this kind of thing happening in broad daylight?" Chu Xiu complained.

Then he followed the magic arrow and left the tunnel entrance.

Eventually, guided by the arrow, he arrived near a sewer drain in the outskirts.

Just arrived at the scene.

Chu Xiu saw several people covered in mud struggling to crawl out of the sewer.

They were also dragging two suitcases wrapped in waterproof bags.

"Ugh~"

"Damn, it stinks!"

"Alright, stop complaining. At least we're all alive."

"Xiaofu, go check if our boat is still there. If there's no problem, we'll evacuate according to the original plan."

"Okay!"

The people who crawled out of the sewer were obviously a professional team.

They quickly started working in an organized manner.

"Quite professional."

Not far away, Chu Xiu silently observed them.

Until the group reached the side of the boat, washed their hands, and opened the waterproof bags wrapping the suitcases, he finally stood up slowly.

Hmm.

There was no dirty work left.

It was time for the hero to appear...

"I advise you to put down your guns and surrender!"

However, before Chu Xiu could step forward, a voice rang out first.

The person was wearing a red bodysuit and holding two short sticks.

Through the two small horns on his head, Chu Xiu immediately recognized the person's identity.

- Daredevil!

"No, why is this blind guy out in the daytime?"

"Isn't he Nightcrawler?"

Chu Xiu frowned.

Just then, a fight broke out.

Several robbers, realizing their position was exposed, didn't hesitate and launched the first attack.

But obviously, these petty thieves were no match for Daredevil. With just a few moves, they were all knocked out.

Daredevil didn't kill.

After knocking out the robbers, he tied them together with a rope and prepared to call the police.

"Who!?"

Suddenly.

Daredevil's ears twitched.

He pointed his short sticks in a vigilant manner towards a direction.

"Even a blind guy has good ears~" Chu Xiu muttered to himself as he jumped down from his hiding spot.

"I've been following these people all the way, and you just show up halfway to steal the credit, isn't that inappropriate?"

Chu Xiu said.

But his gaze was fixed on the two suitcases filled with money.

"..."

"Who are you?"

Daredevil tightened his grip on the short sticks.

From Chu Xiu, he felt an unprecedented pressure.

Not to mention anything else, just by listening to the opponent's heartbeat, Daredevil felt a terrifying palpitation!

It was as if the person in front of him wasn't a human at all!

But a ferocious beast!

Or even...

A devil!

"Me?"

"I'm Batman!"

Seeing Daredevil's frightened expression, Chu Xiu's mouth curled up.

Little did he know that as soon as he said that, Daredevil immediately put away his sticks and his expression became less tense.

"Still Batman? Do you think I've never read DC comics?"

"..."

"No, how can a blind guy like you read comics?"
