Asking Immortals: From the Republic of China to Marvel

Maximov's adoptive mother was immediately amused when she saw this, and the worry on her face was somewhat diluted.

So he stopped thinking about it, closed the door behind him, and walked to the bedroom where he was resting.

After Maximov's adoptive mother left, Wanda, who had fallen asleep, opened her eyes again. After thinking for a few moments, she stood up and took out a long coat from her canvas travel bag and put it on.

Then he walked straight to the window, opened his hands, and an illusory crimson mist slowly emerged around him. He changed the probability of gravity's influence on himself to zero with a thought.

Without the influence of gravity, Wanda's slender figure began to float slowly and flew out the window.

When they flew over the entrance of the small courtyard, Pietro was already waiting on the spot. When he saw Wanda flying towards him, Pietro showed a confident smile on his face and said firmly:

"I knew you would follow!"

"To avoid any accidents or dangers, I can feel more at ease if I follow you."

Wanda slowly floated down, landing in front of Pietro, and then replied expressionlessly.

"Tch! Come on! Don't think I don't know. Every time you wait for me to fall asleep, you get up quietly to exercise your abilities!"

Pietro looked at Wanda with contempt in his eyes, and a little bit of complaint.

The main reason is that every time he uses his abilities, Wanda will nag him, but in fact, Wanda is not the same? !This is obviously a thief shouting "Catch the thief!"

"I'm my sister!"

Wanda replied with a smile in her eyes, as if she was reminding Pietro something.

"Sister can do whatever she wants?" Pietro was a little dissatisfied.

"Bang~ bang~"

Wanda slapped Pietro to the ground with a wave of her hand, then looked at Pietro with sharp eyes, and said with a hint of domineering:

"Yes, sister can do whatever she wants!"

"You bully people!"

"..."

Pietro got up and complained angrily, but what he got in response was Wanda looking at her like a little kid.

"Hmph~ Do you want to compete with me to see who is faster?!" Children in the rebellious period are very competitive...

"If you do this again, I will lock you up at home."

"..."

Faced with Wanda's magic weapon to win, Pietro gave in decisively, and his dejected look made Wanda laugh.

"Okay~ let's go."

"Hmm~"

Wanda gave an order and then stepped forward. After Pietro responded boringly, he could only follow behind dejectedly.

The two of them walked further and further away, towards the center of the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, and soon disappeared at the end of the road outside the small courtyard.

……

More than twenty minutes later, Wanda and Pietro found Maximov's adoptive father outside the Cool River Tavern in the center of the town.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Pietro walking towards Maximov's adoptive father, Wanda pulled him back directly. The two of them were hiding in the alley of the residence opposite the tavern.

"I'm going to tell him to go home! What are you doing to get me?" Pietro was confused for no reason.

"Look what Dad is holding in his hand."

Wanda pointed at Maximov's adoptive father and signaled Pietro to take a closer look. He was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance.

Because at this moment, Maximov's adoptive father was leaning on the edge of the wall outside the tavern, holding an expensive-looking wallet in his hand.

While looking at the passers-by with wandering eyes, he opened his wallet and rummaged through it.

First, he took out a stack of cash. With a smile on his face, he folded the cash and stuffed it into his pocket. He then took out a few cards in his wallet and read them.

After a moment, he shook his head and threw the card to the side. Finally, he looked at the wallet carefully, and a smile flashed in his eyes again.

After stuffing his wallet into his pocket, he clasped his hands and continued to look at the passers-by with wandering eyes, as if he was looking for something? !

“He bought a new wallet?!”

Pietro was still a little confused, so he tentatively replied.

"Clap~"

Wanda looked at Pietro as if she were an idiot, and then slapped him on the back of the head.

"Ouch~ Why did you hit me?" Pietro covered his head and looked even more confused.

"Why are you so stupid?! Dad is stealing! That's someone else's wallet!"

Although this younger brother was a bit stupid, Wanda still complained and explained patiently.

After hearing this, Pietro still didn't come back to his senses, and began to think on his own.

Indeed, it seemed that Maximov's adoptive father had never seen such an exquisite and valuable wallet.

If it was really his wallet, wouldn't it be unnecessary to take it out and stuff it into his pocket? ! Obviously something unreasonable.

The cards just clipped out should be ID cards or business cards, right? !Maximov doesn’t have a British ID card!

And those eyes that look at passers-by erratically... Let me go~

It's really stealing!

"Sister is so smart, so what should we do now?"

After thinking about it, Pietro could only ask Wanda for her opinion while complimenting him. After all, this was his first time encountering such a thing.

The thief is still his adoptive father, and it would be wrong to ignore him. Approaching him directly would inevitably damage his adoptive father's self-confidence.

It was even worse to report him directly to the officials and arrest him. After all, he was his adoptive father and not an outsider. Pietro was a little undecided for a moment.

"Hmm... We can't confirm yet whether that wallet was stolen or not. Maybe it was picked up! Right?! Let's wait and see first~"

Wanda thought for a moment and then spoke slowly. Her tone was a bit tangled and somewhat undecided.

Although Maximov's behavior was a bit obvious, Wanda still couldn't accept that her adoptive father was a thief.

"Okay~"

Pietro was a little helpless when he heard this, but in fact he was complaining in his heart. It was so obvious, what was there to wait and see?

Is it possible that you still want to catch the current situation? ! This is a bit too much...

Of course, it was a complaint, and Pietro couldn't accept it. He also planned to confirm again. Maybe it was possible as Wanda said.

……

Time passed, and the two of them watched for half an hour. As there were fewer and fewer people on the road, Maximov's adoptive father remained cramped in place.

Whenever a wealthy-looking pedestrian passed by, Maximov would move, but in the end he would stop.

It seems that he has not determined the target, and he wants to take action but fails. Or maybe the timing is wrong and it is difficult to steal? !

Anyway, Wanda and Pietro understood clearly that Maximov’s adoptive father was looking for the target of theft!

But after all, the two of them were young and somewhat innocent in mind. They actually held the possibility that Maximov's adoptive father might be planning to stop pedestrians and sell some fitness packages.

In fact, they were just deceiving themselves and others. However, the two of them were not impatient. They had been hiding from the opposite side and observing quietly, hoping that Maximov's adoptive father would stop his behavior and go home voluntarily.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and there were very few pedestrians on the road now. However, drunks often came in and out of the pub. Perhaps Maximov's adoptive father was targeting these people.
