Chapter 174: Big Head

First Day of School.

A yellow Camaro parked in the school parking lot, and Jack and Wanda opened the doors and got out.

"Did you bring everything?"

Jack casually closed the car door and tapped the roof to get Wanda's attention.

"Most... of it, yeah!"

Wanda lowered her head and searched through her small bag, nodding in agreement.

"Alright, let's go. It's going to get crowded soon."

"Okay."

The two of them walked out of the parking lot and entered the campus.

Today was the first day of school, and the campus was filled with students. Everyone was sharing their summer experiences with their best friends, and the air was filled with laughter and joy.

Wanda instantly became the center of attention as soon as she appeared, and Jack had never realized how popular she was in school.

Seven or eight girls ran over and surrounded Wanda. They talked and laughed like bells.

Not far away, a group of boys was discussing who would go and approach them.

Jack watched Wanda deal with her friends from a distance.

Meanwhile, not far away, an Asian woman silently observed from a distance with a short-haired girl who looked to be in her early teens.

"Is that him? He feels... like an ordinary person."

The girl looked at Jack and furrowed her brow.

She couldn't sense anything special about him. From her years of experience, he seemed like an average male Earthling.

However, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the girl.

She could sense that she was special. But she couldn't find exactly what made her special.

"Yes, it's him."

The Asian woman stared sharply at Jack, nodding. "Ajak mentioned him. I've checked the records. He is Wanda Maximoff's guardian..."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and added with a strange expression, "At least, that's what it appears to be on the outside."

"Guardian? He looks younger himself."

The girl furrowed her eyebrows, feeling somewhat doubtful.

There was no denying it.

Jack did look very young now, standing beside Wanda made them appear to be classmates, even though he was already in his thirties.

"Anyway, according to the original plan, you will get to know Mr. Maximoff and try to learn more about him. Then we will talk to Ajak about what to do next."

The woman pondered for a moment and whispered, "If necessary, we can use that girl. She must be important to him."

"Use a child?!"

The girl turned with disbelief to the woman. "Are you really suggesting using a child? Are you insane?"

"...It's just a suggestion, and there won't be any danger, right?"

"..."

On the other side, Wanda was finally able to get away from her clingy friends.

"You're popular."

Jack glanced at the few tall figures nearby who seemed reluctant to leave and teased, "If I'm right, they must be on the basketball team. You've even got the basketball guys interested."

"Oh, them."

Wanda glanced back and said, "They've written me quite a few love letters, but I threw them away."

With a challenging look in her eyes, she continued, "Maybe... I could consider..."

"Hehe."

Jack chuckled in response to Wanda's obvious provoking and said kindly, "Unless you want one of them to have a broken leg!"

"...You're so bossy."

"You've known me for more than a day."

Jack took Wanda's hand again, and this time their fingers were connected, as if they were showing off to everyone else.

"Let's go. Let's go register first. I have something to do in the afternoon."

An hour later, after taking care of the registration matters, the two of them walked out of the school.

"Bumblebee will take you home."

Jack opened the passenger door and said, "I have something to do this afternoon, so I won't be going home. I'll come back in the evening, and we can celebrate properly."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Wanda nodded and suddenly stood on tiptoes, giving Jack a gentle kiss on the lips before getting into the car.

"Hehe."

Jack touched his lips and chuckled, closing the car door and patting the hood.

"Take her home safely, Bumblebee. Drive slowly this time, and don't speed like last time."

As soon as Jack's words fell, a captivating female voice came from the car's radio.

"Okay, boss!"

At the same time, the headlights of the car flashed.

Then the car slowly started and left the parking lot.

Strangely, there was another sexy and hot lady in the driver's seat, while Wanda seemed unbothered by it.

Bumblebee, from "Transformers"!

After seeing Wanda off, Jack teleported to a jungle in an instant.

The Ancient One was there, standing on the empty land and looking like she was watching something.

"I was just thinking of finding you, and here you are finding me first."

Jack walked up to her, about to say something, when suddenly he furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the empty space in front of him, raising his hand and grabbing at it.

Snap!

The empty space shattered, revealing a hidden spatial rift behind it.

"Haha!"

Seeing this scene, Jack's lips curled up, and he thought to himself, "It looks like we have a visitor."

He was familiar with this kind of spatial rift.

It only appeared when traveling through the multiverse.

And now, there was one here, which meant that someone had crossed the boundaries of the multiverse and arrived in their universe.

He turned to look at the Ancient One, who remained calm and relaxed.

"You called me here just for this?"

"Of course."

The Ancient One nodded naturally. "The visitor this time is very special. I think you would be interested in meeting her."

"Her?"

Jack raised an eyebrow. "Is she a woman?"

"A woman you know, but she probably doesn't know you yet."

The Ancient One finally turned to look at him, her expression somewhat serious.

"She needs your help. This situation is quite tricky, and if you don't do something, our universe will be affected."

"Is it that serious?"

Jack's face also slowly stiffened.

The seriousness in the Ancient One's tone gave him a bad feeling.

"What exactly is the situation?"

"This... is not clear at the moment. I also appeared here after receiving someone's request for help."

"A request for help? From whom?"

The Ancient One didn't answer him, just silently looked up at the sky.

Following her gaze, Jack looked over, but all he saw was the blue sky and white clouds...

Wait! Something's not right!

He suddenly realized something was wrong!

He wiped his hand in front of him, and the previously sky-blue sky instantly turned black and white.

In the sky, a giant head similar to a titan's quietly stared at him through two 100-watt eyes.

"..."

Jack stared blankly at the figure for a while, murmuring to himself.

"That... is a really big head."

"..."
