Lorien’s final words hit George like a ton of bricks.
He replayed in his mind what he’d said on the way over—Stephen, the top surgeon, and Lorien Su, one of the most renowned psychologists in the field. Now, he wished there were a hole in the ground he could crawl into.
How was he supposed to know that the “Su” his daughter occasionally mentioned was this Lorien Su? Sure, the name matched, but it had never even crossed his mind that his daughter would personally...

Good question, Gwen’s dad.
You’ve actually got me stumped.
Lorien thought for all of 0.01 seconds. If he tried to brag outright, he might leave George speechless—but it’d be much better to let George connect the dots himself. That way, he could still pull off the “impressive” act without looking like he was trying too hard.
So, after a brief pause, Lorien replied casually,
“I went with a friend.”
And it was true—Stephen was his friend. No lies, ...

Lorien and Gwen watched as Wanda left.
The two exchanged a glance and let out a helpless sigh.
Superheroes were just that busy. You couldn’t say they had something to do every day, but even when they didn’t, they still couldn’t seem to sit still.
“Anyway,” Lorien muttered to himself, “I’m not becoming a superhero. Too busy, too tiring.”
Gwen thought it over and nodded.
“I don’t want to be one either. It feels like working a regular job.

At that moment, downstairs at the Northern Tower, Gwen had already changed back into her usual clothes and was waiting in the lounge for Lorien and Wanda to return.
But when she checked the time, she frowned.
“Something’s not right,” she thought. “Even if they were moving slowly, with the Scarlet Witch’s abilities, they should have been back by now.”
She glanced outside. There wasn’t the slightest sign of Lorien or Wanda.
“Forget it, I’ll wait a littl...

Lorien’s words made Wanda instantly turn her head, locking her gaze firmly on his eyes.
It was as if two invisible threads of affection were entwined between them.
“You… mm—”
Lorien had just opened his mouth when Wanda’s passion took over, silencing him completely.
Lorien: ???
What’s going on?
This was the second time!
Why was he always the passive one?
Not that… he minded. Ahem.
For a moment, his words never made it out. T...

Even Lorien hadn’t expected this.
Wanda actually wanted to sneak off and have fun behind Gwen’s back!
No, seriously—where did she learn this? Or did she figure it out on her own?
Inwardly, Lorien sternly condemned her behavior. Outwardly, he kept quiet and simply followed along.
Right now, Wanda was pulling him by the hand, running across the same bridge where they’d just been fighting. Scattered cars stood idle on both sides, and in the middle of that strange ...

Obviously, Lorien saw through Tony’s situation at a glance.
Under Wanda’s starry-eyed gaze, Lorien kept his hands in his pockets, glanced at the armor’s closing faceplate, and continued,
“Then hurry up and investigate.
This lizard’s been around for days, and you still haven’t handled it.
It’s clearly a genetic mutation. If someone can control how it spreads, you superheroes might as well retire.”
Tony’s armor gave a small nod—he felt the same ...

Amidst the surprised cries of the crowd, Gwen vaulted onto the bridge’s main beam!
Just as a car was about to plummet, she stood at the top, firing webs downward from both hands.
“Pssh~”
Two strands of web shot out, latching onto the falling vehicle. Gwen gave a strong pull, then secured the rear webs around the bridge. Sliding down along the strands, she reached the car’s front, grabbed the door with one hand, and extended the other toward the little girl inside.

Amid the chaos of people fleeing in every direction, Lorien and Wanda pushed against the flow, heading straight toward the danger.
This time, Lorien didn’t need to encourage her. Wanda followed with unwavering determination until they reached the vicinity of the Manhattan Bridge.
The bridge connected Manhattan Island to the mainland, while another bridge nearby led to...

This was indeed a problem.
Wanda now had Chaos Magic, but she didn’t know how to train herself. She had never undergone any systematic practice. Right now, she was like a child in possession of a Tiger tank—completely unable to drive it.
There were two ways to solve this. One was to go to Kamar-Taj and learn from the Ancient One. The other was to get the Darkhold early.
As for the Darkhold’s negative effects, that wasn’t an issue. Lorien had Purification. If it could...

Two beautiful girls—one older, one younger. It was a stunning sight, one of Lorien’s absolute favorites.
But the problem was… “Wanda’s Ferris Wheel” or “Gwen’s Band Performance.” Which should he choose?
If he went by who came first, that would be Gwen. But then… what about Wanda? That wouldn’t do. If he went with Wanda to the Ferris wheel, then Gwen’s band performance would be left out. That definitely wouldn’t do either.
So what now?

Getting off work—what a beautiful thing.
Think about it. Once you’re off the clock, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Just eat, have fun, and then sleep.
But of course, that only works if no one bothers you in those last precious minutes before quitting time.
Lorien wasn’t so lucky.

Although he wanted to bring up the recipe again, Tony still wasn’t after money—he just wanted to eat fried rice like this every single day!
It was like when he had gone to grab a burger right after coming back from Afghanistan. That taste... he couldn’t get enough of it!
But this time, no such luck.
Lorien slowly chewed the last bite of fried rice in his mouth, then looked at Tony, shook his head, and said,
“No.”

Tony really was a businessman at heart.
One moment they were chatting away, and the next, after just a sip of milk tea, he was already calculating how much money it could make.
When Wanda and Gwen drank it, all they thought was that it tasted amazing. Making money off it? How much it could earn? That never even crossed their minds.
Of course, Tony wasn’t actually interested in the profits from milk tea. Even if it brought in hundreds of millions of dollars, it was nothing ...

In Tony’s slightly narrowed eyes, Lorien said something that hit him harder than expected.
After hearing those words, Tony straightened in his seat, adjusted his clothes, and reached out his hand.
“Tony Stark. Looks like I overestimated myself.”
Lorien smiled back and extended his hand.
“Lorien Su. A psychologist with a bit of a unique touch.”
Yes—unique.
Since Stephen would eventually become the Sorcerer Supreme anyway, Lorien suggested they al...

Seeing Stephen’s constipated expression, Lorien instantly knew he still had no clue.
Of course, Lorien wasn’t a matchmaker, nor was he the kind of guy who played best friend to certain girls. So he simply said,
“Some things can’t be explained in words.
Some things you’ll never understand until you experience them.
So I’ll just leave you with this—
I’d rather make a mistake than do nothing at all.”
The meaning was generally positive, but it...

Late at night.
Lorien drove his Ferrari into the building’s underground parking lot.
Taking the private elevator up to his apartment, he slipped off his shoes, grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the wine rack, and strolled to the floor-to-ceiling windows, taking a slow drink.
“Hoo...”
To be honest, as he sipped the whiskey, his mind wandered back to the heat of that moment in the dark corner.
It would be a lie to say he didn’t enjoy it.

After a long stretch of peace, Bazz-B, who had managed to stay alive, stepped through the gates of New Silbern.
Once sentenced to death for his defeat, he was somehow still alive—still a Sternritter, full of fire. Cang Du had been strong, sure, but within the Sternritter he was only average. Losing him wasn’t a big deal. Pernida’s death, on the other hand, had been a major blow. And since others had lost that day too, executing them all would...

At the critical moment, the sky's Ether tides quaked violently. Golden sigils streaked across the heavens and converged beneath Kingu—before a hand casually grabbed the Beast Commander's collar and lifted him away.
But as the prey was snatched, a furious, bestial roar erupted from the abyss. That gaping maw lined with razor-sharp fangs surged upward, engulfed in a torrent of red and black currents, snapping shut with violent intent.

After the battle meeting ended, the group dispersed once again.
The operation against Tiamat would officially begin at dawn. On one hand, Tiamat wouldn’t act at night; on the other, everyone had been through two straight days of brutal fighting and needed at least some rest. That included core fighters like Shiomi, who still hadn’t fully recovered.
