The efficiency of the Westview Town Police Station was very high.

It didn’t take long for the sheriff to bring people to the scene, cordon off the area, and begin collecting evidence.

“Levi, what happened?”Full novel: Marvel: Living the Laid-Back Life — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Upstairs, Wanda heard the commotion and went downstairs, where she saw the police taking statements from Levi and Agatha.

“Someone was lurking in Agatha’s room.”

Levi’s expression revealed fear, as if what had just happened had absolutely nothing to do with him.

“My God, that’s too dangerous.

Luckily, you weren’t hurt.”

Wanda’s eyes widened slightly when she heard this, and she walked over worriedly.

Although she was an Avenger, she was still a girl at heart, and naturally she would be surprised and worried upon hearing something like this.

After all, someone had managed to sneak into the apartment without anyone noticing!

“Don’t worry.

Those guys seem to have only been after money.”

Levi smiled casually.

“But it does mean the security measures in the apartment are too poor.

It looks like we’ll have to find some time to improve the security facilities.”

Agatha, standing beside them, didn’t join the conversation.

She couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her young landlord.

Her mind was completely occupied by the shadows that had flashed past moments ago.

Combined with the poisoning incident, she was almost certain that the black shadow just now had come from the same person, and it was very likely that he was also a dark magician.

“Sorry to bother you, Ms.

Agnes.

Everything you reported is here, and nothing is missing.”

At this point, a police officer interrupted.

“That man wasn’t after money?

Then what was he after?”

Levi looked confused.

“Maybe he didn’t succeed.

Since nothing was lost, let’s just let this matter go.

I won’t file any charges, and you don’t need to investigate.”

Agatha knew that everything had been done by another dark magician.

There was no point in having ordinary people investigate.

It would be better to use her own magic to trace what had happened at the scene.

“Aunt Agnes, are you sure?”

Wanda was a little worried.

If nothing was lost, there’s no need to make a fuss.”

Agatha smiled generously.

Wanda saw that she had made up her mind and didn’t try to persuade her any further.

She chose to respect the other person’s decision.

Most people in America didn’t like being judged.

They yearned for freedom…

The police simply cleaned up the scene and left one after another.

They liked dealing with victims who weren’t pressing charges.

It saved them a large part of the paperwork.

As for Levi and Agatha, the latter refused to ask the construction team to repair the broken window.

Agatha said that she could find someone to fix it herself, and that she wanted to get some rest, assuring them that they could leave without worrying and that she would be fine on her own.

“Then let’s go eat first.”

Wanda didn’t notice anything wrong.

She turned to Levi and said, “I’ll treat you.

You treated me to lunch yesterday, so today it’s my turn.”

“Good.”

Levi was a little surprised by the invitation.

He had thought it would be difficult to get the depressed Wanda to take the initiative.

Looking at it now, his previous prejudice against Scarlet Witch seemed a little too strong.

Maybe Wanda wasn’t as bad as he had thought.

…

The two still chose the Chinese restaurant they had visited yesterday.

On the way, Wanda mentioned that she had thought the braised pork was delicious, so she wanted to have it again.

They arrived at Food Street.

It happened to be noon.

Normally, there would be a lot of foot traffic around this time, but today, because of the poisoning incident, the number of people was much lower.

The restaurant owner was from China.

He said that he would wait for Mr.

Wilson to come here tomorrow for a charity event, hoping it would help suppress the bad publicity.

Without Wilson’s charity event, he estimated that this matter wouldn’t die down for a long time…

Levi felt a little ashamed when he heard those words.

He hadn’t expected one incident to cause such a chain reaction.

It was a little surprising that things had actually developed this way.

This was practically the butterfly effect.

But fortunately, the effect hadn’t caused Wanda to lose control ahead of schedule.

“What’s on your mind?” Read this novel at novelpin⁠g.com for the best experience.

Seeing him lost in thought again, Wanda blinked her melancholy eyes and stared at him.

“You seem to space out quite often.”

“Because I’m good at thinking.”

Levi answered solemnly.

“You make me feel very strange.

We only met yesterday, but you seem to have known me for a long time, and you know a lot about my situation.”

Wanda’s expression became serious.

She had noticed it that morning.

Thinking carefully about everything since they met yesterday, Levi gave her the feeling that they had known each other for a very long time.

But she clearly remembered that the two of them had never met face-to-face before.

As someone with telepathic abilities, the effects of Chaos Magic made it impossible for her memories to become confused.

It was impossible for her to simply forget something like that…

Yet Chaos Magic gave her the strange feeling that the two of them seemed to know each other.

“Wanda, I’ve never been to the Avengers Compound.

Maybe it’s just fate.”

A natural smile formed at the corner of Levi’s mouth.

“I don’t believe that unless you let me try it with telepathy.”

As she said this, Wanda didn’t wait for him to refuse.

She stood up and leaned over to touch his temple.

This was one of the reasons she had invited Levi to dinner today…

“Ahem…

no problem.”

Levi was a little surprised.

He hadn’t expected Americans to be so open-minded, actually taking action without even asking first.

He felt the softness pressed against him.

A man’s instincts made him look downward, and he could only describe it with one phrase: rolling waves…

“I won’t hurt you.”

After Wanda finished speaking, her slender, smooth hand was already pressed against his temple.

Levi caught the intoxicating fragrance and slowly closed his eyes.

A trace of scarlet light appeared at Wanda’s fingertips, constantly invading and wrapping around Levi’s temples like a pair of hands gently stroking his head.

It made him feel extremely comfortable.

Wanda, sitting opposite him, also closed her eyes.

The next second.

Her eyes suddenly went blank, and her consciousness successfully entered Levi’s spiritual world!

All of Levi’s memories were stored here!
