Chapter 288: Limb Regeneration (First Update)
"Zhen Zhen!"
Hearing that the Wizard had a way to restore his daughter's health, the Vice President became immediately excited.
In the early years, he had offended many political rivals during his campaign for Vice President. Those rivals, unable to exact revenge on him due to strict protection, turned their attention to his family instead.
In a deliberately arranged traffic accident, his wife died on the spot, and his daughter, who was protected by her mother's body, did not die immediately but lost her right leg, leaving her a lifelong wheelchair user.
After winning the election for Vice President, he sent all the political rivals responsible for the accident to prison, but it was too late.
Ever since, he has felt deep guilt towards his daughter.
This is why he, a high-ranking Vice President, was willing to be controlled by a terrorist organization.
It was because Dr. Kilian brought him the retired soldiers who had been disabled and showed him that they were no longer disabled.
"Wizard, if you can restore my daughter to normal, I will reward you greatly. From now on, whatever you ask, I will do my best to fulfill it!"
After using Legilimency to confirm that the Vice President's words were sincere, Jerry smiled and walked to the Vice President's daughter. He took out the Limb Regeneration Potion he had prepared and gently asked:
"What is your name?"
"My name is Alice!"
The girl looked a bit shy but also excited.
"Alice, drink this potion. The magic will make you like a little mermaid, giving you your legs back!"
Jerry handed the Limb Regeneration Potion to Alice.
Alice took the potion and drank it without hesitation.
A moment later, she let out a cry of pain. Then, something unbelievable happened.
Her right leg, which she had lost for three years, began to regenerate before her eyes. In less than ten seconds, it was completely restored.
She moved her right leg, trying to stand up from the wheelchair, and then took a few cautious steps.
Then, she threw herself into Jerry's arms:
"Thank you, Wizard sister, thank you for helping me stand again!"
Jerry was taken aback for a moment, then patted Alice's back and smiled:
"Actually, you should thank your father!"
It was simple. Jerry only had one bottle of the Limb Regeneration Potion, which was quite precious. If Alice were not the Vice President's daughter, he wouldn't have used it.
There are so many disabled people in the world, and he didn't have the time to cure them all. That's why he said Alice should thank her father.
The Vice President, seeing his daughter stand again, was also extremely moved, with tears welling up in his eyes.
However, when he opened his arms to give his daughter a big hug, he saw her throw herself into the Wizard's arms. Fortunately, the Wizard was also a girl, so he didn't say anything.
Still, he felt a bit disappointed.
But when he heard the Wizard's next words, his mood instantly improved.
And Alice, upon hearing this, also let go of Jerry and ran into her father's arms.
However, as she left Jerry's embrace, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
"Wizard, I am truly grateful, I—"
The Vice President let go of Alice, preparing to thank the Wizard again, but found that the Wizard had already vanished, leaving behind a mirror and a lingering voice:
"I'll take care of those lingering threats. If you have any news to tell me in the future, just shout my name into that mirror!"
The Vice President picked up the mirror and fell silent for a moment before shouting loudly toward the door:
"Smith!"
"Sir, what do you need?"
A moment later, a tall agent pushed the door open and walked in.
"Help me connect a call to the President!"
The Vice President instructed.
"Yes, sir!"
Smith, the agent, saw Alice standing beside the Vice President, fully recovered, and his eyes widened in surprise. However, he didn't say anything and quickly took out a dedicated phone to call the President's Secretary.
"Mr. Tony and the Witch have located the terrorist organization's hideout. It's at the docks in Florida. I request the deployment of F22 fighters and troops for support."
Meanwhile,
Tony, on his way to the docks, asked Jarvis:
"Jarvis, how's the situation in Malibu?"
"Sir, the crane arrived last night, and the basement exit has been cleared."
Jarvis replied.
"Good, then activate the family party plan for the robots!"
Hearing that the basement exit had been cleared, Tony's face relaxed. Relying solely on the subpar Rogue suit to face off against Kilean's Extremis soldiers was impossible. He needed to activate the emergency plan.
Los Angeles, the ruins of the Malibu mansion.
A group of workers were operating cranes to clear the rubble. At the spot they had cleared first, as per the employer's request, a mechanical hum suddenly sounded.
Immediately, a large crack appeared in the ground, and lights turned on below. A series of differently styled Iron Man suits started up one after another, flying out of the hole and speeding away into the distance.
At the same time, inside the cabin of a massive cruise ship at the Florida coastal dock.
Dr. Kilean, using the intense heat within his body, forced Colonel Rhodes to take off the War Machine suit.
"Lock him up. Now, let's go to Air Force One and bring the President here."
According to the Vice President's information, the President would leave the secure area today to head to Air Force One. Kilean could then wear the War Machine suit, impersonate Colonel Rhodes, and enter Air Force One to bring the President to this location.
"Jarvis, enter stealth mode!"
Hundreds of meters above the massive cruise ship, Tony commanded Jarvis.
His dozens of specialized suits were racing over at supersonic speeds, but it would still take some time to arrive.
Originally, waiting for all the suits to arrive, then waiting for the Witch to join them before launching the attack, would have been the safest plan.
However, now that Rhodey was in the hands of the enemy, every second could mean the difference between life and death. So, he had to try to sneak in and see if he could rescue Rhodey.
Actually, the Rogue suit's capabilities weren't suitable for infiltration. The truly suitable suits for stealth operations were the Mark 15 Stealth, the Mark 16 Nightclub, and the Mark 22 Heatstick, as they all had the most advanced shielding and concealment features.
"Huh, the War Machine suit!"
Just as Tony was about to slowly descend and approach the cruise ship from the sea, he suddenly saw the War Machine suit on the deck.
