Chapter 286: Legilimency (Second Update)

A soul-snatching curse, and the female extremity warrior's face immediately transformed from fierce to blissful.

However, just as Jerry was about to ask a question, the female extremity warrior gritted her teeth and quickly returned to her normal state.

"Hmm, she managed to resist the soul-snatching curse. Looks like she has a strong will."

These extremity warriors, former disabled soldiers who survived the extremity virus transformation, have wills that are no weaker than those of the mercenary leader who tried to assassinate him.

Many of them have also undergone specialized interrogation training, making them even more resistant to mental control.

So, if the mercenary leader could resist the soul-snatching curse, it makes sense that this female extremity warrior could as well.

Of course, even if the soul-snatching curse doesn't work, Jerry still has other methods to extract the information he wants from her mind.

Under normal circumstances, if the soul-snatching curse fails, one can use the cruciatus curse to torture the target until their mind breaks, and then the soul-snatching curse usually works.

Jerry used this method on the mercenary captain before.

However, with Tony nearby, using the cruciatus curse would undermine the persona he has been building.

Therefore, he abandoned this plan and opted for the second option.

"Legilimency!"

When Jerry's gaze met the female extremity warrior's, he immediately activated the legilimency technique he learned from Voldemort.

Legilimency, when eye contact is made, allows one to read the other's thoughts. A skilled Master Legilimens can even delve into the deeper memories of the mind.

This was the first time he used legilimency in the Main World since learning it.

In everyday situations, he rarely needed it, and he didn't like reading people's minds without a good reason.

Randomly reading minds, especially those of close friends, can be a bit creepy.

"Tell me, why did Killian plan the terrorist attack? Where is he now?"

The female extremity warrior closed her eyes silently, clearly unwilling to answer.

"She doesn't know why Killian planned the terrorist attack, but she does know where he is. And we need to hurry, because your friend War Machine, Colonel Rhodes, seems to have been captured!"

Jerry retracted his legilimency and turned to Tony.

"That's impossible. How do you know? I didn't say anything!"

The female extremity warrior's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard Jerry's words.

Jerry looked down at her.

"You may have forgotten, but I'm a Magic Master. I just used a simple mind-reading spell!"

"Rhodey has been captured?"

Tony immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

Jerry suggested, "Tony, your flight speed is fast. Go rescue Colonel Rhodes first. I'll stay here to clean up, and then I'll head over to help you."

"Alright, I'll go ahead!"

Tony knew Jerry's flight speed wasn't fast, even with the dragon he rode, which was far slower than his three-times-the-speed-of-sound Iron Man suit.

So he nodded, left the villa, and flew at full speed toward the dock where Killian was located.

After Iron Man left, the female extremity warrior suddenly thought of something and looked at Jerry, saying:

"That's not right. You said I didn't know about Dr. Killian's plans. If you really could read minds, there's no way you wouldn't know. Either you didn't tell the truth to that Tony!"

She had been startled by Jerry's mention of mind-reading magic, but now, upon closer reflection, it didn't add up. She clearly knew about Dr. Killian's plans, so why hadn't he mentioned them, only revealing Dr. Killian's location and the fact that War Machine had been captured?

Jerry smiled at the female extremity warrior.

"Sorry, you know too much!"

With a wave of his hand, a sectumsempra spell flew out, and the female extremity warrior's head was instantly severed.

This scene sent the Mandarin and the three women behind him into another round of screams.

"Obliviate!"

Four consecutive obliviate spells erased the memories of the four about the conversation between Jerry and the female extremity warrior.

Jerry had indeed learned about Dr. Killian's plans from the female extremity warrior, but he hadn't told Tony. He had his own agenda.

Dr. Killian's ambition was vast. Through the extremity warriors, he had orchestrated a series of terrorist activities to create the most powerful terrorist organization. Capturing Colonel Rhodes was also part of his plan, as he intended to use the War Machine suit to get close to the heavily guarded president and kidnap him.

Moreover, they had used the extremity virus to help the vice president's daughter recover from her disability, securing the vice president's support.

If the plan succeeded, Dr. Killian would control both the government of the most powerful Western nation and the world's most notorious terrorist organization. From there, he could continue to expand his influence, conquering other countries and eventually ruling the world.

However, Jerry thought this was sheer lunacy.

Even if Dr. Killian completed his plan, he wouldn't be able to control a country with a bunch of unstable extremity warriors and a single vice president.

Was S.H.I.E.L.D. nonexistent?

Even without Jerry, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and the other Avengers could easily take down the extremity warriors.

And there were certainly many more hidden superhumans and other forces in the world.

But these concerns were not important to Jerry. The president's fate didn't matter to him; he wasn't one of his people. Even if he helped save the president, if he ever did something against the country's capital interests, the president would not hesitate to order his elimination.

What truly mattered to Jerry was the intelligence about the vice president, who was willing to betray his country to help a terrorist organization in exchange for his daughter's health.

In the vice president's eyes, being a father was far more important than being a vice president.

That's why he had taken the risk to help a group of terrorists who wanted to kill the president and rule the country.

Coincidentally, Jerry had a bottle of regeneration potion in his spatial box, a gift from Professor Snape during Christmas.

This regeneration potion could safely and without any side effects help the vice president's daughter recover from her disability and become a normal girl.

This was why he hadn't told Tony about Dr. Killian's plans.

He couldn't let anyone know that the vice president was working for Dr. Killian. He needed the vice president to remain in that position, even to advance further after the president's term ended.

That would better serve his interests.
