Chapter 128: Son Knows Magic, Father-in-Law Can't Do Anything (Third Update)
"Wake-Up Charm!"
Seeing that Hass had already parked the car, Jerry raised his hand and cast a Reviving Charm at Elsa, who was drooling and dreaming with a blissful smile on her face.
The Reviving Charm is not just an antidote to sleeping charms; when used alone, it can instantly wake up even the deepest sleeper and keep them alert for a short time.
So if you start dozing off during class, casting a Reviving Charm on yourself is a good choice.
However, if you keep casting Reviving Charms on someone, it could lead to them being unable to sleep for several days, which might be dangerous.
Waking Elsa up has never been an easy task. After all, kids can be quite stubborn, and this Reviving Charm solves the problem perfectly.
Today, Elsa was able to wake up so early thanks to the Reviving Charm.
The Magic Ring Jerry now wears on his finger was taken from an apprentice of Morgana. With this ring, he no longer needs a wand, making his magic more discreet and convenient.
His plan now is to wear the Magic Ring under normal circumstances. If he needs to appear as a wizard, he will switch to Sun Long's Bracer and Wand.
This way, he can reduce the chances of being discovered.
Otherwise, if he appeared as a wizard with a Magic Ring on his finger, and he also wore a Magic Ring in reality, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities might uncover the discrepancy.
"Perish, perish in the Magic of your queen, hahaha!"
Elsa, who was dreaming of riding a broom, waving a wand, and casting devastating ice magic to battle thousands of demons with her two friends, suddenly felt a wave of malevolent intent from the depths of the abyss.
Immediately, she felt her crown fall, her broom break, and her powerful magic power begin to fade, leaving her spirit dazed.
When she woke up again, everything was gone, her beautiful dream shattered, and she found herself back in the car.
"Elsa, you woke up just in time. We're here, let's get out of the car!"
Jerry, seeing the disappointed look on Elsa's face, quickly opened the car door and called out to her.
Elsa looked at Jerry suspiciously for a moment but eventually got out of the car, though she felt something was off.
Taking the elevator, the four of them soon arrived at the grand first floor of the villa.
"Miss Belle, this way. Sir is already waiting for you in the living room!"
At the elevator door, the old butler, who had received a message from the bodyguard, was already waiting for them.
Led by the butler, the four of them took several turns and finally arrived at the living room of the enormous villa.
In the living room, besides the bodyguards standing around, there was an elderly man with thinning hair but sharp eyes.
There was also a man in his mid-thirties, about the same age as Hass, who, upon seeing Hass, briefly showed a look of disdain but quickly composed himself.
"Belle, it's been five or six days since you last visited this old man. What's the matter? Can't you come home more often when you have nothing to do?"
The elderly man's face lit up with affection as he saw Belle.
"Dad, I have classes to attend. Your place is so far from the school, and it takes a lot of time to travel back and forth!"
Belle rolled her eyes in annoyance before immediately starting the introductions:
“Dad, this is Hass Wright, the one I mentioned to you last week. These are Jerry and Elsa!”
“Hass, this is my father, Chuck Pisaro!”
Hass quickly stepped forward, somewhat nervously extending his hand and respectfully said:
“Mr. Pisaro, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Pisaro gave a somewhat forced smile as he shook Hass’s hand:
“Hass, right? Good, very good. No need to be nervous, come and sit down!”
“Dad, who is this gentleman?”
At this moment, Belle pointed to the man in a suit sitting on the sofa.
Today was the day her father was supposed to meet her boyfriend, so why was there a stranger in the house?
Pisaro smiled and explained:
“Oh, this is Mr. Justin Hammer from Hammer Industries, a young and capable man, and a very important partner of the group. He came over today to discuss some matters of cooperation, so it just happened to coincide with your visit!”
“Miss Belle, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve heard that you are a rare beauty, and indeed, your reputation is well-deserved!”
At this, Mr. Hammer also stood up very gentlemanly, with a full smile, and shook hands with Miss Belle.
After shaking hands, he turned his gaze towards Hass.
Hass quickly stood up, ready to extend his hand, but Mr. Hammer completely ignored Hass, pulling his hand back and preparing to sit down again.
Clearly, this Mr. Hammer did not take Hass seriously at all.
“It seems this meeting today is far more complicated than Miss Belle imagined!”
Activating Superman Mode, Jerry’s senses became exceptionally sharp. From the moment they entered the hall, he had been carefully observing everyone’s expressions and demeanor. Soon, he noticed some peculiarities.
Belle’s father, Mr. Pisaro, was clearly not as welcoming towards Hass as Belle had suggested. And Mr. Hammer, most likely, was not just here for business.
If it were truly for business, he wouldn’t have been looking at Hass with such disdain from the moment they met. After all, the son-in-law of an important partner should at least be treated with some respect.
Clearly, Mr. Hammer knew Hass’s background and felt that he and Hass were on different levels. He didn’t believe Hass could become Pisaro’s son-in-law.
Moreover, Jerry could see in Mr. Hammer’s eyes some ulterior motives towards Miss Belle.
“Hmph!”
Jerry, who had already guessed the situation, let out a cold snort in his mind. He lightly snapped his fingers with his right hand, which was adorned with the Magic Ring.
“Ouch, my butt!”
Just as Mr. Hammer was about to sit down, the sofa beneath him suddenly moved back a short distance, causing him to land squarely on the floor.
Mind Control, the most commonly used Magic by Mages in the world of The Apprentice of Magic. It allows the user to control any person or object within their line of sight. However, the larger the energy of the object or person, the harder it is to control.
The strength of the Mind Control depends on the Mage’s mastery of the Magic.
Jerry had just used Mind Control to move the sofa a bit, making Mr. Hammer fall.
While many Magics in the world of The Apprentice of Magic have similar effects to those in the Harry Potter world, they also have their unique characteristics.
For example, Mind Control, though similar to the Telekinesis Charm, doesn’t require a spell or a visible Magic beam. It can be released with just a snap of the fingers, making it very difficult to defend against.
“Want to embarrass Hass? Let’s see if his son agrees to that!”
