"That person! Wong! Quickly change the Wi-Fi password for Kamar-Taj for me. Change it to GYSL6666, then tell the kitchen to boil some meat. We're having a party tonight. The Sorcerer Supreme has died, Kamar-Taj is disbanded starting today!"
Kurohane didn't even look at the Ancient One lying on the ground. He immediately stood up, running towards the door while shouting, snapping at Wong who was guarding outside the door, preparing to arrange the Ancient One's funeral! The Ancient One's acting skills at feigning death were terrible, anyone could see through it. "Alright, I have nothing to do right now. I'll just go along with it!"
Bang—!
A palm pressed firmly on Kurohane's back, once again knocking his soul out of his body. His physical body hit the library's wooden floor hard, and three seconds later, the soul was sucked back into his body. It looked like nothing happened, but in reality, he died for three seconds!
Kurohane, who had climbed up from the ground, found that the necklace on his chest was gone, and the Eye of Agamotto had been taken back by the Ancient One. He looked at the displeased Ancient One and bowed respectfully to her.
"Hello, Mage. I am Kurohane, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj. Do you have an ID card? Let me see!"
The Ancient One said nothing, she just pulled Kurohane into the Mirror Dimension. Three minutes later, Kurohane, like a dead dog, crawled out of the Mirror Dimension. He stated that it was not the right time for him to take over as Sorcerer Supreme. The situation with Hydra was too serious to be handled properly. "You have to love the profession you're in. He has to deal with Hydra before he can take over the Sorcerer Supreme mantle. Otherwise, even if the Ancient One beat him to death, he wouldn't agree!"
The Ancient One used the power of the Time Stone, seeing a future timeline that originally didn't have Kurohane. Then she nodded and agreed. After all, Hydra would soon be finished, and she could wait this little bit of time!
When Kurohane saw the Ancient One nod, the Holy Scar on his hand lit up slightly, and he immediately stood up energetically. He gestured with his small hand in the air, opening a portal. Turning to the bald Ancient One, a glimmer of reluctance appeared in Kurohane's heart. Although he had a difficult time over the past ten days, doing nothing but reading, the Ancient One treated him much more seriously than she treated Stephen Strange, accompanying him from beginning to end. He could ask any questions at any time, like a private tutor only for Kurohane. Of course, there was also a reason to prevent Kurohane from escaping. After all, catching him just once was extremely exhausting.
"Goodbye, Teacher. When I eliminate Hydra, I will definitely come back and become the Sorcerer Supreme!"
"Go." The Ancient One uttered briefly.
The Ancient One looked at the portal that closed as Kurohane left and shook her head helplessly. It seemed she would have to continue being the Sorcerer Supreme for a while longer. Just keep enduring!
Kurohane, who had returned to his apartment, finally felt at home. Looking at the package placed on the coffee table, Kurohane's brain momentarily froze, slightly suspicious that he had entered the wrong apartment.
Kurohane wondered, "Are delivery services this professional now? They can just leave it on the coffee table when no one's home?!"
Seeing his name on the express package, Kurohane confirmed that this package was his. He used Super Vision to look at the contents of the package and found that it was just a new phone. After confirming there were no bombs, Kurohane opened the package sent by Tony Stark. Don't tell me, this phone was really good, it felt like a smartphone from before I transmigrated. Tony clearly took his advice. The entire phone was designed in a lightweight, candy-bar style. After plugging in the charger and turning on the phone, Tony's call came in.
"Director Kurohane, long time no see! I heard you were captured by an Alien, is that true?" Tony's voice sounded very happy, it seemed he really made a lot of money recently!
Kurohane also smiled, hearing this playboy's voice made his mood better. If Stark Industries made money, it was equivalent to him, Director Kurohane, making money. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have money for daily necessities in his bank account, truly pathetic!
"Just from your voice, I know the phone project is making money. How much is my dividend? Also, I was captured by an Alien. Did you get that news from Nick Fury?"
"Not just the phone, my Arc Reactor power supply project is also ready. Tonight, all the power for Stark Tower will be independently supplied by the Arc Reactor I built. From now on, I am the true king of energy. The dividend amount will definitely satisfy you!" Tony proudly introduced his recent work to Kurohane, and coincidentally revealed an important time point. Independent power supply at Stark Tower meant the Battle of New York would begin soon. Now that Nick Fury, he was probably studying the Cosmic Cube again, Loki had brought the Mind Stone to Earth!
"Nick Fury just said you went to New Mexico and then got captured by an Alien. But after I knew you were a wizard, I thought you could definitely escape from the Alien. So, I put the phone in your apartment. If you could escape, you'd definitely come back to that apartment! As long as you turned on the phone, J.A.R.V.I.S. would tell me."
"I wasn't captured by an Alien, I just went to study with my magic teacher." Kurohane's head hurt a little when he recalled his learning process in Hell. If only he hadn't gotten the Holy Scar on his hand, this time would have been a huge loss!
"I'll tell you the details later when I'm free. Right now, my phone is about to explode!" The phone screen showed that calls from Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce were coming in at the same time. He hung up on Tony and then answered Alexander's call.
His future work focus would definitely be on the Hydra organization. S.H.I.E.L.D.? Just a toy!
As soon as the call connected, Alexander Pierce's low voice came through Kurohane's ear. "Kurohane! How dare you disappear for half a month? Are you trying to betray the organization?"
"I finally escaped that demon's lair, and immediately received your call. If I betrayed the organization, why would I still talk to you? Chairman!" Kurohane lightly tapped the microphone three times, with two short intervals and one long interval. This was Hydra's secret code when contacting via phone, indicating that the call environment was unsafe, and there was even a risk of exposure, warning Alexander to speak carefully!
Alexander naturally understood the secret code, but his voice didn't change at all. "That guy, Nick, just lost the Cosmic Cube. Go immediately and see what happened! Along with your own affairs, submit two reports to me!"
"Yes! Chairman!"
Just as he hung up Alexander's call, Nick Fury's phone rang again. But Nick only said one sentence before being immediately interrupted by Kurohane!
"Is that Kurohane? You're back from Asgard? I..."
"Do you know how stupid your actions are?! Humanity is going to go extinct because of you!" Kurohane coughed lightly, then shouted at the top of his lungs into the microphone, "Is the Cosmic Cube something you can study casually?!! Wait for me, I'm coming to kill you now!"
