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

Soon.

The call was successfully transferred.

"Speak."

A calm and authoritative voice sounded.

Concise and to the point.

As if saying one more word would bring trouble.

"Sir, Phil Coulson made contact with the target today and brought back three individuals."

"These three individuals possess the same super ability as the target - shadow manipulation!"

Agent Grandwater reported in detail about what happened today.

"Get to the point?"

The voice on the other end seemed to realize something.

There was a hint of anticipation in the voice.

"Sir, I believe this ability can be replicated!"

Agent Grandwater's statement was astonishing, and he continued, "Through interrogation, I learned that their ability is obtained through a blood-drawn totem, summoning a being called the Shadow God, thus gaining the super ability."

After listening to Agent Grandwater's report, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

Then.

The voice became somewhat excited.

"Are you sure?"

"And, are you sure that guy named Chu Xiu also obtained the super ability through this method?"

"Most likely."

"We found an identical blood totem in a warehouse in Jefferson Port."

"The target should have obtained the ability there."

"And I speculate that the strength of the obtained ability is likely related to the size of the totem."

"The larger the scale, the stronger the obtained ability."

"And that's why the target is more powerful than those three individuals."

Agent Grandwater reported all his findings.

There was excitement in his words.

...

After listening to Agent Grandwater's report.

The breathing on the other end of the phone noticeably became heavier.

"Very good!"

"You did a great job!"

"Grandwater, this discovery is very important to us!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was excited.

"While Nick Fury is still thinking about recruiting the target, we have already discovered the source of the target's ability!"

"With this discovery, we can create a super-powered army with the same ability as the target!"

"By then..."

"We won't need to hide anymore!"

"Every head of HYDRA will emerge!"

"Hail Hydra!"

"Hail Hydra!"

(Hail HYDRA!)

...

At the same time.

While HYDRA undercover agent Grandwater was reporting to his superiors.

On the other side, Chu Xiu had already returned home and placed the Anydoor on a wall inside the house.

Just as he finished all this.

An unexpected guest rang the doorbell.

Chu Xiu opened the door and found that the visitor was Jin Bing, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, accompanied by a polite glasses-wearing man.

It seemed like Jin Bing's lawyer or some kind of assistant.

Each of them was carrying a suitcase.

They didn't bring any subordinates with them.

"Master."

"I've come to deliver..."

Seeing Chu Xiu, Jin Bing quickly lowered his head.

This underground king presented himself in an extremely humble manner.

"Come in."

Chu Xiu stepped aside to let them in.

Once inside the house, Jin Bing and the glasses-wearing man immediately found a place to put down their suitcases.

Jin Bing even carefully arranged them, afraid of them being placed crookedly.

"Master, here is ten million US dollars, plus some small jewelry."

Jin Bing said.

He took out a property certificate from his pocket.

"Also, I heard that you were renting this house, so I took the liberty of buying it for you."

"Permanent ownership, you don't have to worry about property tax, I will pay it for you every year."

While speaking, Jin Bing quietly observed Chu Xiu's expression.

Seeing that Chu Xiu did not show any displeasure, he carefully placed the property certificate on the table.

"..."

Chu Xiu remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"What do you mean by giving me ten million when we agreed on one million per month?"

"Are you expecting me to do something for you?"

...

"It's definitely not like that."

"These extras are just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept them with confidence."

Jin Bing forced a smile.

He had already seen some footage of the second New York battle.

While others didn't know who the "Demon Hunter" that displayed great power in the battle was, he knew very well.

To be able to survive in the perilous Marvel world for so long and reach such a high position.

Jin Bing was well aware of who he could offend and who he couldn't.

"It's impressive, Jin Bing. You are truly adaptable."

"Let me tell you the truth, the reason I didn't kill you earlier was because I thought you still had some use."

"But now..."

Chu Xiu paused.

He didn't kill Jin Bing earlier because he thought that when he needed to summon demons in the future, he might need some shady sacrifices.

This underground king might be able to help.

But now...

Chu Xiu didn't need a summoning ritual to summon demons at all.

Naturally, he didn't need to find any sacrifices.

"..."

Seeing that Chu Xiu meant that he was no longer useful, Jin Bing's face instantly changed.

"Um, Wesley, could you step outside for a moment?"

Jin Bing dismissed his assistant by his side, then knelt down with a thud.

Boss, there were too many people outside just now, so let me kowtow to you now.

"???"

Chu Xiu found it somewhat amusing.

This fat guy...

You could say he had some shame, but he still knelt down.

But you could also say he had no shame, as he knew to dismiss his subordinates in advance before kneeling down.

"Now I understand how you made it to where you are today."

Chu Xiu thought of what Jin Bing said back in the warehouse: "Do you think I made it to where I am today by relying on what?"

Now Chu Xiu knew the answer.

He relied on one word!

Patience!

"Sir, as long as you spare me, I will be your man from now on. I will do whatever you ask, and I will never go against your wishes."

Jin Bing knocked his big head on the ground.

His massive body made Chu Xiu feel like a mountain of flesh kneeling in front of him.

"..."

Looking at Jin Bing kneeling in front of him, Chu Xiu found it somewhat amusing.

He never intended to deal with this guy in the first place.

It was his own misfortune that he stumbled upon him.

"Alright, get up."

"I'm not interested in your business."

"If you really want to do things for me, just get a card and regularly send me money."

Chu Xiu didn't want to have too much contact with Jin Bing, especially with the businesses he was running.

Everyone is an adult.

Keep a distance and maintain good economic relations.

It's better for everyone~

"Oh, by the way, help me find two cleaners."

Chu Xiu looked at the slightly messy house around him.

With this place, plus the New York holy place, he now had two fixed residences.

He couldn't clean them all by himself.
