#336 - Deal! Lin Mei starts spoiling the plot again

After Pepper and Melissa left, Wanda and Quicksilver finally looked away from Pepper, their eyes flickering with unknown thoughts.

Lin Mei took the coffee handed to him by the butler and took a light sip.

He had noticed the state of the two people in front of him a long time ago.

"What? Do you want to kidnap Miss Pepper to threaten Tony Stark?"

Lin Mei's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of Wanda and Quicksilver.

They both looked at Lin Mei warily, with a hint of caution in their eyes.

Lin Mei didn't waste any time, he said, "Don't look at me like that, I know you regard Tony Stark as your enemy."

Wanda and Quicksilver exchanged a glance, the wariness in their eyes did not immediately dissipate, but Lin Mei's frankness obviously surprised them a little. Wanda spoke first: "Are you saying this because you already know our identities and origins?"

Lin Mei smiled slightly and nodded: "Let's just say I know some things, but in this chaotic world, everyone has their own position and reasons for fighting. You don't have to care about my relationship with Tony Stark."

"So, can I grab that woman?" Quicksilver asked, staring at Lin Mei.

"Of course, it's best not to, especially not to do it in my house. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me!" Lin Mei refused Quicksilver's proposal without hesitation.

"Is that so?" Quicksilver looked at Lin Mei provocatively.

He stood up, wanting to rely on his speed to really grab Pepper.

"I said, if you do this, it will be very difficult for me!!!" Lin Mei said coldly.

As soon as Quicksilver stood up, the space around him was slowed down countless times by time magic.

Even Quicksilver, who was famous for his speed and could move at supersonic speeds, seemed to be bound by invisible shackles at this moment, and his movements became slow and clumsy.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, time lost its original rhythm at this moment, and everything slowed down.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wanda's eyes, and she quickly realized that the power Lin Mei possessed was far beyond what they had previously estimated. She quickly reached out and grabbed Quicksilver, who was about to take a step, stopping him from further action.

"Pietro, don't be impulsive," Wanda's voice contained a hint of urgency and warning.

Quicksilver struggled unwillingly, but the invisible force prevented him from breaking free. He stared at Lin Mei with wide eyes and said word by word: "I promise you I won't do anything!"

Lin Mei lifted the time magic, and Quicksilver immediately returned to normal.

"Okay, Pietro, we didn't come here to catch that woman," Wanda reminded her brother not to mess around.

Lin Mei waited for the two to adjust their emotions!

After a while, Wanda asked, "So, what exactly do you want to say to us by bringing us to your home?"

"It's very simple, I want to make a deal with you!" Lin Mei finally brought up his purpose.

"What deal!" Wanda didn't understand what Lin Mei wanted from her side.

Lin Mei smiled mysteriously and said: "I want a book! 'Darkhold'!"

"'Darkhold'? What is that? I don't have that thing!" Wanda had not been exposed to the magical world since awakening her Chaos Magic, so she naturally didn't know what the 'Darkhold' was.

Lin Mei waved his hand to signal the other party to be calm: "I know that book, you don't have it now, but you will definitely get this thing in the future, so I can count this as an early investment!"

Wanda frowned: "How do you know that I will get this book in the future?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Wanda was immediately speechless.

Because Lin Mei also had Chaos Magic, she speculated that Lin Mei had foreseen that she would get the 'Darkhold' in the future!

Seeing the other party's self-brainstorming, Lin Mei didn't explain anything.

When Wanda recovered, she stared at Lin Mei and said, "Although I don't know the importance of that book? But then again, if I lend you the book, what can you bring me?"

Lin Mei unconsciously glanced at Quicksilver, making the latter feel a little inexplicable.

Lin Mei pointed to Quicksilver and said, "I can keep him alive! At least not let him die in the near future!"

"Damn it! Are you kid deliberately looking for trouble! With my speed, how could I die so easily!!!" Quicksilver instantly exploded when he heard Lin Mei say this...

The look in Wanda's eyes was also full of displeasure towards Lin Mei.

Lin Mei shrugged, and a trace of scarlet magic was extracted by him and thrown in front of Wanda, saying: "See what will happen in the future, then you will know why I said that."

Wanda looked at this trace of Chaos Magic that originated from the same source as her own, and her intuition told her that if she touched this trace, she would definitely see something terrible.

She saw herself creating magic that enveloped a town, but was forced to take it back, and she experienced pain again.

She saw herself wanting to replace herself in a certain world, but she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the shackles of fate. Every attempt to change seemed to only present the result in another more painful way.

The picture finally froze on Wanda's lonely and desperate figure, surrounded by ruins, her eyes empty, full of the sorrow of losing everything, until she destroyed the Darkhold with herself.

When these scenes receded like a tide, Wanda's face was as pale as paper, and the trace of Chaos Magic in her hand had disappeared without a trace.

She trembled her lips, her voice with disbelief: "This… is this real? Pietro… will really…"

She hadn't encountered or experienced those scenes in the future, so Wanda didn't care.

However, now Quicksilver was her only relative, so Wanda would not allow her brother to die.

Seeing this, the anger in Quicksilver's heart was instantly replaced by worry. He grabbed Wanda's hand and asked urgently: "Sister, are you okay? What happened to our future… what happened?"

Wanda did not answer Quicksilver's words!

This time, she stared at Lin Mei in front of her and asked: "Can you guarantee that Pietro will not die an unnatural death!"
