American comics: May the Holy Light deceive you

Chapter 95 The Zhang Family

"Mom, we're back."

"Have you finished dealing with things over there?" Monica put down her pen, got up, and walked over.

Vega: "Yes, it's all taken care of."

Monica took little Shengxi from Vega's arms: "How did you get so fat?"

Little Shengxi pouted and protested, "I'm not fat, I've just grown up."

Monica gently pinched her daughter's chubby little belly: "That's right, you've grown from a little chubby pig into a big chubby pig."

"Hmph, I don't like you anymore." Little Shengxi struggled stubbornly, wanting her father to hold her, but Vega ignored her: "Where are the other two girls?"

Monica: "They're in college now, and they live on campus most of the time."

Monica's tone was somewhat resentful. Vega had been busy for more than two years, and her gluttonous daughter had spent most of her time in that world. Gwen and Bana had gone to college, leaving only her and the superstar who was like a shadow at home.

Vega: "Sorry, I didn't expect it to take so long."

He truly hadn't expected that modifying the bronze armlet and the source of fire would take more than two years.

Although it took a long time, he gained a lot.

"No need to apologize, this is the important matter." Monica shook her head. She did harbor resentment after the long separation, but she was not the kind of woman who was unreasonable.

The husband wanted to increase his strength; only by becoming stronger could he cope with future dangers.

Vega: "Which school did Gwen and the others go to?"

Monica: "At the City University of New York, both of them studied fine arts."

Vega frowned. "Hmm? Why did they go to New York?"

The Chitauri invasion caused enormous damage to several US states, and the government was unable to rebuild them, so the reconstruction work was taken over by various conglomerates and large families.

Unlike Monica, who genuinely wanted to manage New Jersey well, most of those people were just in it for the money.

New York City was taken over by Tony Stark and several other forces. With the support of substantial financial resources, Manhattan Island, the heart of New York City, was rebuilt and became more prosperous than ever before.

Yes, only Manhattan Island remains largely in a state of post-war devastation; most of the rest of New York City remains in this state of ruin.

Unfortunately, these people have a combined net worth of trillions of dollars, but net worth is just that—net worth. The liquid funds they can actually access are still very limited.

Because the government abandoned the management of these areas, and most of these people were unwilling to waste money on management, it is easy to imagine how chaotic those areas that were not rebuilt were.

Monica: "Stark has created a lot of security robots, but crime rates in those areas remain high."

George died in New York, so Gwen felt she should carry on her father's legacy and continue to protect the city. Therefore, she chose the City University of New York, and Bana, seeing this, had no choice but to go with her.

Vega: "Oh, I see. How are Matt and the others doing now?"

Monica: "Daredevil and his team have been active in the ruins of New York City. Their squad has grown significantly, and they've been fighting gangs like Kingpin and the Hand, as well as some supervillains."

Vega: "Heh, looks like Matt's out of that shadow now."

Daredevil Matt Murdoch was one of his few friends. Although he had deliberately distanced himself from him for fear of causing trouble, he was still very happy to learn that Murdoch had not been discouraged or gone astray.

Not much has changed in the United States in the last two years. The only thing that Vega cares about is that the Mind Scepter has fallen into the hands of Tony Stark, who still managed to create Ultron and Vision.

Upon learning of Vision's whereabouts, Vega suddenly remembered Wanda and Pietro, whom he had sent to other universes.

I had promised Scarlet Witch that I would bring the two of them back after a while, but I got so busy that I forgot.

Vega was a little embarrassed, but since he had remembered, he might as well go and take a look.

I told Monica that Vega had traveled through the universe to the former zombie universe.

He entered this world less than two seconds before the Scarlet Witch, dressed in a red dress, appeared before him.

Seeing the other person's unfriendly gaze, Vega knew something was wrong: "Long time no see, Wanda. Two months have passed. I've come to pick them up."

"Two months? Hmph." Scarlet Witch scoffed. What did she take her for? She didn't have the ability to travel through the universe, but she could still project her power and will into Vega's universe.

However, she only wanted to get rid of that annoying little girl and had no time to cause trouble for Vega. She lightly raised her right hand and waved it, and crimson chaotic power spread out. A peach blossom forest slowly appeared in the open space in front of her, with several beautiful wooden houses sitting in it.

"Follow me," Scarlet Witch said, and walked towards the wooden house at the far end.

Vega followed silently. Scarlet Witch's reaction was abnormal. Could little Wanda have fallen for Vision here?

It's possible, but Little Wanda probably hasn't done anything outrageous yet. Otherwise, given Scarlet Witch's personality, Little Wanda's grave would be overgrown with weeds by now.

The two quickly arrived at the cabin. Scarlet Witch knocked on the door, and footsteps immediately came from inside. A moment later, the door was opened.

The person who came out was Little Wanda. She was dressed exactly like Scarlet Witch, but she looked younger and exuded a weaker aura.

When Little Wanda saw Vega, her expression instantly darkened. The icy Scarlet Witch spoke directly: "Li is here. Pack your things and leave with him."

Little Wanda remained silent. At that moment, the door of the wooden house in the middle opened, and several people came out.

Leading the way were an elderly couple with white hair, followed by Quicksilver, each carrying a child who looked to be two or three years old, and finally Vision, who looked no different from a normal human.

Mr. Maximov: "Wanda, who is this gentleman?"

"Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm Vega Lee." Vega walked quickly to the elderly couple, a warm smile on his face, and extended both hands to shake hands with them.

"Hello, hello, thank you for saving us, thank you, thank you so much!"

After hearing Vega's self-introduction, the two elderly people realized that he was their savior and immediately grabbed him excitedly to express their gratitude.

"Haha, actually I didn't do anything special, just what I could do," Vega said with a laugh as he spoke with the two elderly people.

After chatting with the two elderly people for a while, Vega revealed the purpose of his visit.

The two elderly people fell silent. They were reluctant to let their other daughter and son leave, but they also understood that it was not a good thing to keep them here.

The younger Quicksilver spoke up: "Mr. Li, please come pick us up. Sister, please go pack your things."

Little Wanda glanced at everyone, then turned and went back to his cabin.
