After receiving a hint from the Ancient Master, Richard immediately teleported back to his manor.
However, although he returned quickly, he was actually not worried about the safety of his family at all, because he had absolute confidence in his several tenants.
Gwen and Jessica's power and speed are already quite powerful among the superpowers who can unleash the power of the earth. In fact, they can be considered masters in the entire universe. Gamora, the adopted daughter of Thanos, is known as the "first assassin in the universe". However, from
In all aspects, Gamora is not a match for Spider-Gwen.
And if it’s an enemy on the magic side, you’re even less afraid of it. With the Scarlet Witch holding the Book of Darkness in hand, ordinary enemies really can’t get in. The superior devils are limited in their strength in the human world, and Mephisto himself is here.
Wanda can't be taken down for a while.
On the surface, it seems to be just an ordinary building, but in fact, the defense coefficient of the entire manor can be called a bunker. There is probably no safer place on the earth than here. Richard wants to go back and see which way it is.
A hero has the courage to trespass into such forbidden areas.
However, when he rushed back, he saw no trace of the enemy, but only saw the bombed-out corridor, the potholed walls, two blown out light bulbs... and a helpless little red-haired witch.
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! But I really didn't mean it!" Wanda preempted the situation and apologized three times in a row, "Because the book said this move would not be very powerful, and I didn't expect it.
This is the result. Once I came back to my senses, the scene became like this..."
Richard waved his hand: "Wait a minute, come slowly...what's happening here?"
Wanda took a deep breath to adjust, and told him the whole story in detail. Through her description, Richard finally understood. It basically meant that there were two very bad people in the house who wanted to deal with each other.
Wanda took action, but was killed by Wanda who had the Book of Darkness in hand...
Richard quickly guessed that those two unlucky guys were probably the devils in hell. Unexpectedly, he hadn't even decided whether to take a trip into the muddy waters, but the devils came to him without fear of death.
.
Now the matter has turned from official business to personal grudges. These devils are arrogantly attacking themselves. If they are still indifferent, do they really think he is a compassionate Buddhist Ultraman?
After Wanda finished speaking, she hugged the Book of Darkness pitifully and asked in a low voice: "Then...will you kick me out?"
"Ah?" Richard didn't turn around for a moment, "Why should I kick you out?"
The two devils came to the door and waved their hands, but Wanda beat her to a pulp. Richard felt that she had made a meritorious service and should be praised. He was so happy that it was too late. Why did he drive her out?
"Because, because...I broke the things at home..." Wanda lowered her head and her voice became softer.
However, judging from the little witch's development level, Richard estimated that she would probably not be able to see the tips of her toes when she lowered her head.
Richard was happy.
What should I do? How big of a deal is it?
In the past, Richard might have been so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, but it was different now.
Who is he now? The leader of Hydra! The hidden boss behind SHIELD!
You can count all the people in the world who are richer than him. Even Stark, a wealthy man from Marvel who claims to have the ability to make money, is probably no match for Li when compared to his total assets.
So Richard waved his hand and said this was all a trivial mistake, I forgive you!
Wanda's eyes flashed and she looked so moved that she almost came up to hug him warmly. She felt that she was right, Mr. Li was indeed a good person! He was also a very good person!
But Wanda is indeed reliable, and the two devils can talk to each other in seconds. Richard listened to her description of the whole process, and it seems that the little witch's focus has always been on collateral damage, losses, etc. She only cares about the enemy's strength.
Not a word was mentioned. Listening to her description, Richard felt that the other party seemed to be just two trash fish delivering food, on the same level as the cannon fodder at the bottom of Hydra.
But if you think about it carefully, it is impossible for hell to send two of the lowest devils to perform tasks. Not to mention high-level devils, they should be middle-class devils with comparable strength, right?
Thinking of this, Richard suddenly became interested.
At that time, he went to Kama Taj just to lure the ancient master to work in hell, but when he found out that the master was gone, he didn't like the bunch of crooked mages left in Kama Taj, so he didn't like it.
.
But as it stands now, it seems that Wanda has become a very advanced mage without knowing it. Taking her to hell to help seems like a good choice?
So he said: "Wanda, although this matter is not a big deal, it still caused some losses. I thought about it and you can still make some compensation..."
When Wanda heard the word compensation, she immediately became nervous again. She opened her eyes pitifully: "But...but I don't have money..."
"It doesn't matter." Richard smiled, "I don't need that kind of thing, you can use other methods."
Any other way?
Wanda was confused. What else can I offer as compensation?
The little witch subconsciously lowered her head and looked at herself...
Looking at Wanda's actions, he didn't know if she was thinking wrongly. Richard hurriedly interrupted: "It's nothing, I just need you to go somewhere with me."
"Okay." Wanda agreed without thinking, making Richard look at her with suspicion.
So straightforward? So well-behaved?
Richard thought, if he really wanted to sell Wanda, the little witch might have to help him count the money...
Now that I have decided, there is nothing to hesitate about. There is nothing to prepare for going to hell anyway, so just set off and be done.
Although Richard can move in space, hell is not a certain planet. There is no accurate spatial coordinates and he cannot teleport there directly. But it doesn't matter, he can't but there are people who can. Teleporting to hell is not a good idea for a mage.
It is considered a universal skill, and there are several related spells written in the Dark God's Book. It is not difficult for Wanda to open a portal to hell.
Richard thought for a while, and then gave the ball of holy water that Gabriel gave him to Wanda. First, because at his current level, this artifact is dispensable, and even if it helps, it won't be too much;
The second reason is that Wanda needs the protection of the artifact more than she does. Although Wanda is quite powerful, she still has the inherent weakness of a mage, so it is always good to be careful.
After being fully prepared, Richard left a note for the two remaining girls in the room and then prepared to set off.
And just before they left, another unexpected guest came to his house.
"Are you preparing to go to hell to defeat the devil?"
The voice is so crisp that it feels like it's going to take away the bones of a person.
He guessed who it was without looking back.
"Amora?" Richard turned back calmly, and as expected, he saw the boldly dressed Asgardian witch sitting on the windowsill with her arms folded and smiling at him.
Richard's face was expressionless: "Oh, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see. I haven't been here for a while, and your situation in Midgard is worse than before." Amora chuckled, "Do you need a helping hand?"
