Chapter 258: Dr. Calvin's Appointment

In Oaks' eyes, witches referred to individuals who were born with magical abilities.

Perhaps it was because there were more female witches, or perhaps it was due to the calamities they had endured during the Middle Ages, but witches were more famous than warlocks.

Frigga was a witch, and her magic was completely different from the Kamar-Taj lineage of the Ancient One.

The Ancient One's magical faction could be called the Order of the Mystic Arts. They were ordinary people with no magical abilities who learned magic through an unwavering belief in the existence of magic, eventually becoming sorcerers.

Sorcerers of the Order of the Mystic Arts collected energy from other dimensions of the multiverse, recited spells, and forged shields and weapons to cast spells. These powers did not come from within themselves.

Therefore, even the Supreme Sorcerer, the Ancient One, could only extend her lifespan by drawing upon dark mystical energy.

In contrast, the witches on Earth were more enigmatic compared to those like Frigga who had a legitimate lineage.

Perhaps due to societal intolerance, most witches had a tragic past, scattered inheritances, and their magic tended to lean towards dark arts.

The combat style of witches leaned more towards energy projection. Their magical powers originated from within themselves and were more prone to outbreaks of magic due to emotional instability, often causing harm to the innocent.

This might be one of the important reasons why they faced severe discrimination, prejudice, and mass extermination.

However, Wanda's situation was different.

After her abilities were awakened by the Mind Stone, her magic took the form of chaos magic. But the concept of chaos magic was still unknown to the majority of people.

Currently, Wanda's magic leaned more towards manipulating minds and objects. Of course, this was because her powers were far from being fully developed, and she was still far from the true chaos magic that could alter reality.

However, what she didn't know was that the Stark Industries bomb that didn't explode when she was young wasn't due to a malfunction.

It was her first manifestation of chaos magic—she altered the probability of the bomb exploding and repaired the damaged television.

If the Order of the Mystic Arts, represented by the Ancient One, could be considered the scholarly faction, adhering to the belief that knowledge is power and that the more they knew, the stronger they became...

Then Wanda's magic could be seen as the true "idealist faction." The greater the magnitude of her thoughts and emotions, the more powerful her magic became.

The most significant difference from the Order of the Mystic Arts was that Wanda never needed to recite incantations to cast spells.

Based on this, Oaks even speculated that perhaps Wanda could use her magic to achieve the effect of extending her lifespan.

In fact, Oaks' situation was quite similar to that of a wizard, so when Thor referred to him as a "wizard," he didn't object.

With these thoughts in mind, Oaks glanced at his watch. The appointed time had arrived, and it was time to meet the client he had scheduled yesterday.

He had already arranged for someone to take Pietro and Wanda to the data room to review various Hydra-related information.

Now, as for that someone...

He chose Skye, who had a deep connection with Hydra, and the real former S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Sharon Carter.

Skye and Sharon had been getting along very well during this period. As Melinda's younger sister, Sharon had heard about this little girl before.

And Skye, who had always aspired to become an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., had gained a deeper understanding of the origins and development of the Benevolence Society through Sharon.

So, Oaks felt that the little girl seemed much friendlier towards him.

I believe that with their knowledge of Hydra, it would be easy to clarify the situation... hopefully.

Little Rainforest Confidential Meeting Room.

When Oaks entered, he saw Dr. Calvin, dressed in a light brown suit, sitting nervously on the sofa.

"Apologies, Dr. Calvin. I was delayed by some matters... You've been waiting for a while," Oaks approached with a smile and shook hands with the anxiously standing Dr. Calvin.

The man appeared exhausted, and although he seemed calmer now, Oaks could sense that his mental state was somewhat unstable.

"Dr. Oaks, it's finally good to see you... I have something very important that I'd like to confirm with you in person," Dr. Calvin couldn't maintain a calm expression upon seeing Oaks enter. His face revealed an unmistakable urgency.

"You're too anxious, Dr. Calvin."

Oaks rubbed his fingers slightly, and a reassuring aura enveloped Dr. Calvin, instantly calming him down.

"Feeling better?"

"Ah... the mystical Druid magic."

It was clear that Calvin had done a lot of research on Oaks, and personally experiencing the effects of Oaks' Nature magic gave him a deeper understanding.

"I feel much better now... Sorry, I was overly anxious before."

"Please, have a seat. I'm also curious to know what you consider to be extremely important."

Oaks gestured with a "please" motion.

"Typically, when someone comes urgently seeking my help, it's because they have a family member who is seriously ill... But it seems that's not the case for you."

Indeed, with such incredible healing abilities, how could no one come knocking on Oaks' door requesting treatment?

Although Oaks didn't have a medical license, he didn't hesitate to occasionally lend a hand to treat cases that were truly beyond any medical solution.

It had to be a situation with no possible cure, and not the type of person whose natural life was simply coming to an end. Oaks wouldn't treat just anyone who sought him out.

At the same time, the person seeking treatment had to pass the Soul Artifact test that Oaks had created—a test that determined if they were a genuinely good person.

And as for what the person being treated had to give in return, it all depended on Oaks' mood.

Based on the patient's character, he might ask them to donate all their assets to an environmental foundation.

Or maybe the patient would only need to dedicate a significant amount of time to charity work at the Benevolence Society after recovering.

As for those who tried to evade their obligations...

Oaks could cure them, but he could also retract his treatment.

That was the rhythm of being a legendary doctor.

However, this Calvin, although he didn't pass the conventional "good person test," Oaks had already registered his name in advance, allowing him to pass through the appointment stage.

"I heard... that one of the leaders of Hydra, Dr. Daniel Whitehall, was dealt with by you, Dr. Oaks, and Agent Carter."

Calvin stared intently into Oaks' eyes, refraining from using the term "taken care of."

"From what I know, this Dr. Whitehall is somewhat special... and Agent Carter is also unique!"

"Hmm... What is your relationship with Whitehall?"

Oaks didn't answer Calvin's question directly. Instead, he poured two cups of coffee and handed one to him.

"Strictly speaking, this falls under Avengers-level confidentiality. I need to know what position you're coming from when asking me about this matter—

But you're definitely not with Hydra, right?"

"Of course not!"

Calvin fell silent for a moment while staring at the coffee cup in front of him in a daze.

"I have a deep-seated grudge against them!"
