Chapter 360 “Owl’s Positioning”

Jerry is impressed with Dr. Maya Hansen. Originally, he planned to talk to her when he began conducting research experiments on wizards’ blood.

“So you want me to find Dr. Hansen and rescue her?” Jerry asked.

Coulson shook his head, “Not all, Dr. Hansen will definitely be saved, but I hope you can help us rescue Peterson’s son and then destroy the organization and help us capture their leader, Clairvoyant.”

The organization has a sufficient capital chain, bases all over the country, and a group of powerful soldiers. The overall danger is far greater than Killian’s terrorist organization.

“Peterson? Is that the soldier you just said was rescued by you at the beginning?”

Jerry remembered that Coulson had just mentioned that they used the freezing gun developed by Fitz and Jemma to rescue a person who was transformed by the centipede virus. His name was Mike Peterson.

Coulson sighed helplessly, “Yes, because of the freezing gun, he did not explode, and he gained strength comparable to Captain America, and he has been training in S.H.I.E.L.D.”

“This time, I came to help us deal with Clairvoyant’s soldier, but I didn’t expect that Clairvoyant did find his son and use him as a hostage.”

“Hostage for what?” Jerry asked.

“In exchange for Peterson himself. We guess Clairvoyant is finding a way to stabilize the virus from Peterson’s body completely.” Coulson shared his team’s guesses.

“That’s easy. When it’s time for the trade, I will rescue Peterson’s son, capture all of them alive, and then follow the clues to find Clairvoyant.”

After thoroughly figuring it out, Jerry felt that it was not that bad. After taking down a terrorist organization all over the world, involving himself in it would give him plenty of red stars.

Although according to Coulson, the strength of those centipede soldiers is stronger than Extremis soldiers. But to Jerry, there is no difference. It is like a stronger ant and a weaker ant. If it is fast, everything should be solved in one night, and it will not delay him.

“By the way, what’s for me this time?” Jerry raised the question of remuneration for his help.

Coulson was not surprised by this. Asking the Wizard always comes with a price. He naturally knows it, and from the current information, Clairvoyant’s organization is big. After destroying this organization, a large amount of funds can naturally be counted in the later stage, and part of it can be given to the Wizard as a reward.

“The director said how much do you charge?”

“I don’t need money. I want a complete set of your S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top biological research equipment. I majored in biology at university and have been researching something recently.” Jerry clearly stated his conditions.

Money is like blank paper to him. He can get it in many ways if he wants to get it. It’s better to ask for some top-notch scientific research equipment, which can be used when he does his research.

For Jerry’s request, Coulson thought about it for a while and readily agreed without asking Fury. A set of top-notch biological research equipment is nothing to S.H.I.E.L.D.. Even if Jerry doesn’t help this time, the director is willing to give him a set in exchange for gaining his trust.

Seeing Coulson’s willingness to agree, Jerry didn’t say much on this topic but said curiously, “Speaking of your director, has Fury found out those Hydra spies hidden in your S.H.I.E.L.D.? If you can’t, I can do it for you.”

“The director has already locked several senior agents, and it shouldn’t take long to deal with all of them.” Coulson replied with a slightly embarrassed face.

Coulson knew that although Fury had locked them all, finding out all those Hydra spies was not that simple.

This kind of thing involves the secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D., so Fury doesn’t want others to intervene, and he doesn’t want to make it a big deal but wants to deal with it secretly in a low-key manner.

Because once things get big, the World Security Council will know that Hydra spies are lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. Without the support of the World Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s rights would be greatly restricted.

At present, the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. can have more power than local government agencies in most countries in the world is that the members who make up the World Security Council are the high-level leaders of these countries.

When the World Security Council has a crisis, it will immediately become an informal unit, unable to carry out its tasks in the open. Its funds will be greatly reduced.

“I want to remind you that if I find out that there are Hydra spies who dare to harass my family again, then I will go to your headquarters to take them out personally.” Seeing the expression on Coulson’s face, Jerry didn’t need Legilimency, and he roughly understood what was going on.

He hasn’t dealt with the Hydra thing until now. He didn’t have much time for it and didn’t take it too seriously. He also wants Fury to handle it himself.

“Let me introduce you to the members of my team. I didn’t have a chance to introduce you to each other.” Coulson quickly changed the subject, opened the door, and led Jerry to the luxurious hall of the plane.

“This is Skye, a genius who can hack into our S.H.I.E.L.D. system with an ordinary computer. Her biggest hobby was to expose the darkness hidden by the government. Later, I recruited her into the team.” Coulson pointed to the person who was sitting at the console and kept typing on the keyboard.

“Wow, it’s The Wizard. It turns out that the rescuer Coulson said was you.” Seeing Jerry next to Coulson, Skye’s face was clearly surprised.

If anyone on this plane is most worried about Mike and his son right now, it’s Skye because she knew the father and son before she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. But now that Coulson invited the Wizard to help, she can finally feel relieved.

“Coulson and I are old friends. Just call me Jerry.” Jerry reached out and shook hands with Skye.

At this time, Coulson’s team members were also attracted by Skye’s voice.

“Jemma and Fitz are inseparable experts in biology and physics, with multiple doctorate titles. An operations specialist, Grant Ward had previously dismantled a nuclear bomb detonator while on a mission alone. Melinda May, our pilot, she is also our best player here, and Mike Peterson, I told you earlier.” Coulson introduced the members of his team to Jerry one by one.

Jerry also greeted them with a smile. These people can be regarded as the top agents. Maybe there will be a place for cooperation in the future.

“Coulson, a message has been sent over there to confirm the time and place of the exchange.” Skye looked at the new email from the computer and hurriedly reported to Coulson.

“The exchange is in Los Angeles, and the time is nine o’clock.”

“How soon can we get from here to Los Angeles?” Coulson asked May.

May originally cold face looked even colder, “Two hours, about eight fifty when we arrive there.”

“They chose a city with the fewest agents and calculated the time. It seems that they don’t want to give us too much time to react.” Coulson quickly understood the enemy’s intentions.

The places with the most agents are near Washington and New York headquarters, while there are relatively few in Los Angeles, which is too far away from the headquarters.

Before the Extremis bombed Tony Stark’s mansion in Malibu, Los Angeles, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn’t have time to react immediately and go to the rescue. If this were in Washington, it would never have happened.

“I made an instrument that could track them 50 kilometers away like a probe, and as long as the exchange is complete, we can track them later.” At this time, Fitz stepped forward and said.

“With my ability, if something goes wrong, I can quickly deal them.” Grant followed.

Mike’s expression tightened, “They specially explained that they shouldn’t be followed or ambushed. I want my son to be fine.”

“He’ll be fine, and you’ll be fine too, trust us.” Skye stepped forward and patted Mike on the shoulder to comfort him.

At this time, Coulson thought for a moment, then turned to look at Jerry, “Jerry, what do you think?”

“I don’t think it’s too much trouble, Skye. The location is Los Angeles. Do they have a specific location in Los Angeles?” Jerry smiled and looked at Skye.

Skye replied, “There is no specific location, just in the urban area.”

“May, can you find a suitable place to park the plane first?” Jerry nodded and looked at May again.

May turned to look at Coulson, who agreed without much hesitation. Although Jerry is young, his mind is absolutely mature. If it wasn’t for him accidentally unlocking Jerry’s magic because he almost died, S.H.I.E.L.D. still thinks the Wizard is a girl living in Manhattan.

In addition, he is also one of the first agents to contact Jerry. Unlike Fury, who is always paranoid, he still trusts the Wizard very much in his heart. He has always felt that as an agent, sometimes he has to trust his own feelings, although it is not always accurate.

Seeing that Coulson agreed, May immediately turned around and walked to the cockpit, switched from autopilot to manual steering, and stopped in a nearby wasteland.

“You might have seen this kind of magic before.” Seeing that the plane stopped and everyone gathered, Jerry gestured and drew a portal leading to Los Angeles.

When Coulson and others saw this, they immediately understood that Jerry was using magic to directly let them pass through the barriers of space and reach Los Angeles. It is not the first time they have seen Jerry’s magic, but as ordinary people, it is difficult for them to comprehend.

When they heard that the place was in Los Angeles, the fastest way they could think of to arrive was, of course, a plane. But as the Wizard, Jerry thought of the portal first.

Suppose it wasn’t because of his limited knowledge of the portal. He would open a huge portal directly outside the plane and let the entire plane pass through the portal directly to the sky over Los Angeles.

“Everyone brings the equipment and weapons we can use as quickly as possible, and we go directly to Los Angeles through the portal.” After seeing the portal appear, Coulson’s eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered all the members of the team.

If they can arrive in Los Angeles earlier, they will have more time to prepare, and maybe they can find a way to locate their location through the email they just sent. Even if they can’t locate the location, they can arrive earlier than the enemy expected and mess up the enemy’s plan.

“Well, to be honest, you know what, do what you guys need to do.”

Seeing everyone, including Coulson, move quickly to get their equipment, Jerry raised his hand and finally put it down.

He originally wanted to say that they didn’t need to worry about anything. But thinking about it, it would be best if they themselves put the work on it rather than him doing all the work.

Three minutes later.

“Okay, we’re ready. What do we do now?” Coulson stood in front of the portal with his squad members, took a deep breath, and looked at Jerry.

“What should we do? Of course, step over the portal.” Jerry rolled his eyes.

It was the first time for them to experience the portal. To be honest, even Coulson, who had been trained, was a little nervous. So the question just now was more about re-confirming the situation.

“Okay, follow me and go through the portal one by one.” Coulson took the lead, stepped over the portal, and landed on the concrete ground opposite the portal.

When May and Grant saw that Coulson had arrived safely on the opposite side, they no longer hesitated and followed through the portal. Finally, Fitz was mumbling something in his mouth when he passed through the portal.

On the roof of a building in downtown Los Angeles, Coulson and the others looked at the billboard opposite that read “Los Angeles Welcomes You”, and couldn’t help but sigh, “Magic is amazing.”

Just by drawing a circle, they cross a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers in an instant.

“Skye, can you trace the location of the email just now?” Coulson immediately returned to the mission.

Skye also turned on the computer she carried and then replied, “It is 20 miles away from here, but I can’t be sure that the location where the email was sent is their actual location, and I’m not sure if they have moved after sending the email.”

Skye’s meaning is very simple, she can track the location of the enemy with her skills, but there is no guarantee that the enemy is there. Maybe only the member responsible for sending emails is there.

Even if the enemy was there, that was where they were five minutes ago. When they came there, the enemy might not be there anymore.

“Always give it a try. They won’t think that we can get here so quickly. Even if we can’t catch the mastermind, we can catch their men, and it would not be a loss.” Coulson thought about it for a while and finally decided to go and have a look.

But at this time, Mike’s emotions were agitated, “I don’t agree with the plan. If our actions are discovered, then Ace will be killed directly. Clairvoyant can see what happens in the future.”

“Clairvoyant can see the future? What do you mean by that?”

Coulson looked at Mike with a serious face. Mike had not said this information before.

Mike was stressed, and his tone was full of deep helplessness and guilt, “I can’t say it. There will be a danger since Clairvoyant can see the future. I let my child end like that.”

“Mike, no one can see the future. Raina is just scaring you. She is a psychology expert, best at playing with people’s hearts.” Skye quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mike’s arm.

“Who is Raina?” Jerry looked at Coulson.

Coulson quickly replied, “A woman who likes to wear floral dresses, one of the organization’s top executives. She led someone to kidnap Mike’s son, Ace.”

“But if it’s not true, how does she know my son’s location and the exact location of the plane?”

Mike wasn’t sure if what Raina said was true or not, but he didn’t dare to gamble. His son was the most important person in his life, so he wouldn’t dare to gamble even if there were only a 1% chance.

Looking at them arguing, Jerry couldn’t help frowning. He planned to solve it as soon as possible and go back to study magic as soon as possible.

Jerry directly released a Legilimency spell on him.

After a while, Jerry looked at Coulson in surprise, “The target of that person named Reina is not him, but you.”

Through Legilimency, Jerry read Mike’s mind, the condition that Reina exchanged was not Mike at all, but Coulson and Mike was just a bait.

At this time, Mike’s eyes looking at Jerry were full of shock, “How…how did you know? I…I didn’t say anything.”

“I’m sorry. I used magic to read your inner thoughts. You can understand it as an ability similar to ‘mind reading’. Don’t worry about your child. Clairvoyant can’t see the future at all. If he can see the future, he won’t kidnap your son. ” Jerry shrugged.

In his opinion, there are only two ways to predict the future. One is like the divination magic he learned. He can see the possibilities of the future through calculations and find the most likely one, similar to big data in science.

The second is to directly see the fragments that are bound to happen in the future. It is like breaking through the barriers of dimensions and directly seeing what happens, but this is useless.

Because it is destined to happen, it is the same whether you see it or not, and the result is also the result because you see it and take action.

“Mike, Jerry is right. They can know this information, maybe because some of them have blended into S.H.I.E.L.D., so they can provide some insider information.” Although he was shocked that the target of the Clairvoyant was himself, Coulson made the analysis calmly.

Ace has always been under the protection of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the plane flight positioning is also under the supervision of the headquarters. If higher-level agents are members of that organization, then it is easy to obtain this information.

“Okay, let’s not waste any more time. Follow me. I will find a way to get Ace and deal with Raina, alright?” Jerry interjected all of them.

Jerry summoned an owl from the suitcase, took out an envelope, and wrote Ace’s name on it.

“Owl?” Seeing that Jerry suddenly took out an owl, everyone was stunned, but they did not dare to ask in view of the magic just now.

Seeing this, Jerry shook his head, “Just stop arguing. This is not an ordinary owl. It’s a magic owl. He can take us directly to the current location of Ace.”

Hearing Jerry’s answer, everyone understood why Jerry told them to shut up, and they were really wasting time in their discussions.
