Chapter 281: The Magical Owl (Third Update)
Chapter 281: The Magical Owl (Third Update)
It turns out that a terrorist organization called the Ten Rings Syndicate had recently emerged, orchestrating a series of terrorist bombings. One of these bombings left Tony's best bodyguard, Happy Hogan, severely injured.
Thinking back to the time when Tony was kidnapped by the Ten Rings Syndicate and his savior, Dr. Yinsen, was killed by them, and now his best bodyguard and friend, Happy, was critically injured, Tony was furious when he arrived at the scene.
In front of all the media, he vowed to wage war against the Ten Rings Syndicate and boldly revealed the location of his super mansion in Malibu, Los Angeles.
However, just hours after the announcement, the mansion was attacked by several combat helicopters, which reduced it to ruins with rockets.
Because Tony didn't have time to put on his Iron Man suit and was trying to save Pepper, he ended up sinking into the sea along with the collapsing mansion.
Fortunately, Pepper managed to connect to Jarvis's specialized network through an Iron Man helmet found in the rubble and heard Tony's message.
After fainting and sinking into the sea, Tony was rescued by the Iron Man suit's pre-programmed flight sequence and taken away from Los Angeles.
Although Tony was alive, he was still under threat from the Ten Rings Syndicate. So, Pepper searched through the rubble and found the magic mirror that Jerry had left for Tony.
She believed that the magical witch might be able to use her powerful magic to help Tony.
"So, you don't know where Tony is, but you know he's still alive, correct?"
After listening to Pepper's account, Jerry asked.
Pepper quickly nodded.
"Alright, that's not a big problem. First, we'll find Tony, then we'll track down the Ten Rings Syndicate, and finally, we'll take them all down!"
Dealing with a terrorist organization that likes to cause explosions should earn a few thousand red stars, he thought.
"Miss Pepper, I'm going to find Tony now. Do you want to come with me, or would you prefer to leave and find a place to rest?"
Jerry glanced around at the ruins and asked.
"If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to go with you and see Tony in person to confirm his safety!"
Pepper replied quickly.
Although she had heard Tony's message, she wouldn't feel at ease until she saw him with her own eyes.
"Please take me along too. I have important matters to discuss with Tony!"
At that moment, a beautiful woman who had been standing behind Pepper stepped forward.
"Who is this?"
Jerry looked at Pepper.
He had assumed that the woman behind Pepper was her secretary or an employee of the mansion, but it seemed he was wrong.
"Tony said she's a botanist. She came to see Tony just as we were attacked!"
Pepper explained, clearly not knowing much about the woman's background.
"My name is Maya Hansen. To be precise, I'm a Dna genetic engineer. I'm here to see Tony because my employer is working for the Mandarin!"
The woman clarified.
"The Mandarin?"
Jerry looked puzzled. He had been so focused on studying magic and creating Carmen Mahjong that he hadn't paid much attention to the news.
"He's the leader of the Ten Rings Syndicate!"
Pepper whispered.
"Oh, well, you can come along too. It doesn't make a difference whether I take one or two people!"
Jerry nodded, took out a box, and released Norbert from it.
"Roar!"
Norbert let out a loud, excited dragon roar as soon as he emerged.
Pepper and Dr. Hansen both took an involuntary step back when they first saw the Fire Dragons in person.
While they had seen the New York battle on TV and videos of the Witch riding the Fire Dragons, seeing the enormous, fierce-looking dragons in reality was quite intimidating.
"Settle down, you're scaring them!"
Jerry patted Norbert's head and waved his hand, and a large dragon saddle appeared on Norbert's back.
Norbert nodded his head in agreement, then obediently laid down on the ground.
It wasn't entirely Norbert's fault. While the box space had indeed expanded significantly under Jerry's influence, it still paled in comparison to the outside world. Ever since the New York battle, where Norbert was released to fly and breathe fire to his heart's content, he had been eagerly awaiting another chance to be let out. Now that the opportunity had finally arrived, how could he not be excited? So, upon emerging, he couldn't help but let out a couple of roars.
Shaking his head, Jerry didn't say much. Instead, he leaped onto the dragon saddle and waved to Pepper and Dr. Hansen below.
With Jerry's increasingly powerful telekinetic magic, Pepper and Dr. Hansen let out a startled cry as they slowly rose and landed on the dragon saddle.
"This is incredible!"
Pepper was relatively calm, having seen Jerry perform magic a few times, but for Dr. Hansen, a scientist who spent most of her time in the lab researching genetics, the experience of magic was truly mind-blowing.
There's a significant difference between seeing something on TV and experiencing it firsthand.
"Alright, let's find out where Tony is."
Once everyone was seated on the dragon saddle, Jerry pulled out an owl from his box.
Yes, it was one of the magical owls from the Harry Potter world.
They knew Tony was still alive, but they had no idea where he was. The best way to find him was to use an owl.
Jerry now kept dozens of owls in the box space, specifically for finding people.
"An owl?"
Pepper and Dr. Hansen exchanged puzzled glances when they saw the long-eared owl in Jerry's hand.
However, they didn't ask any questions. Although they didn't understand the connection between the owl and finding Tony, if the Witch said it would work, it would work.
"Sender: Witch, Recipient: Tony Stark!"
Jerry wrote their names on the envelope, handed it to the owl, and said:
"Longears, deliver this letter to Tony Stark!"
The owl nodded, took the envelope in its beak, and with a push of its legs, spread its wings and flew off into the distance.
"Norbert, follow Longears!"
Owls have a magical ability to deliver letters to anyone, anywhere in the world, as long as they are given the name of the recipient. They can find the person accurately, unless the person uses special magic to shield their presence.
Tony Stark clearly didn't know magic and wouldn't shield his presence, so if Jerry wrote a letter and had the owl deliver it, he could follow and find Tony's trail.
"Roar!"
After Jerry cast a Disguise Charm on Norbert, the dragon let out an excited roar, flapped its massive wings, and immediately took off in pursuit of Longears.
Dragons fly much faster than owls, so Norbert had no trouble catching up to Longears.
