Chapter 168 "A Group of Three"

An hour later, Old Bridge Town.

S.H.I.E.L.D's car came to a stop in front of a residence.

"We're heading down to run some errands, so Miss Wizard should wait in the car for a while." said Coulson.

Jerry waved at Coulson while studying a magic book in his possession that described the Extension Charm. This time, the major reason for visiting Old Bridge Town is to use the local police department to look into any recent weird events or the appearance of any strange people.

Second, they want to get from the residence of all pertinent records of atmospheric data from before and after the apparition of Thor's Hammer to see if they can glean any useful hints from them.

Jerry's duty in coming here is to offer some magical assistance if they come across any pertinent or questionable individuals. Jerry didn't object. He only came to New Mexico to see if there would be any incidents where he may receive some red stars following the appearance of Thor's Hammer in this state.

In return, S.H.I.E.L.D. will assist him in maintaining and organizing those robot soldiers. It is wise for him to keep learning magic whenever he has free time.

"Hey, that's not allowed. You are infringing upon my rights. I will bring legal action." Soon after Coulson exited the vehicle, Jerry rolled down the window curiously to take a look when he heard an angry scolding sound coming from outside.

Coulson was directing the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel to load the home's machinery onto the big van following him. Two young women in their 20s and an elderly man standing next to him had angry expressions on their faces.

Once some time had passed, S.H.I.E.L.D. went to the professor's home to retrieve the tools and documents.

Jerry saw this, and his face grew sneered.

Because of national security, they have the right to seize your study notes and experimental materials, and they have the right to jail you tomorrow. Jerry has never had faith in S.H.I.E.L.D. because of this.

Although it appears that S.H.I.E.L.D. is acting appropriately from a national security standpoint, the three victims in front saw their laboriously acquired study findings taken away without their will.

Would he agree if S.H.I.E.L.D. ventured to request that he turn over everything connected to magic in the interest of national security? Naturally not; he would only cast the Killing Curse to damn them all.

"Professor Eric Selvig and Miss Jane Foster. I'm really sorry; all I can say is that we are good people." Coulson handed over his bank card with a full face of apologies while looking at Jane, Professor Eric, and Darcy. He had enough money on it to pay for all of their equipment.

"Nonsense!" Coulson's bank card was swatted away by Jane, who was about to deliver a powerful blow when Eric and Darcy from behind her pulled her back.

"Calm down, Jane, calm down. We cannot risk upsetting them." Still having some knowledge about S.H.I.E.L.D., Professor Eric is aware that the wisest course of action right now is to remain calm.

A disgruntled voice immediately rang out from the front, "Mr. Coulson, is that how you "take" from these people? Is this how S.H.I.E.L.D. act?"

When everyone turned to look, they noticed a young child exiting the black automobile in front of them while wearing a wizard robe. Jerry was the one who changed into Hermione.

Jerry initially wouldn't get involved in such a minor issue. They essentially behave in this manner, regardless of whether S.H.I.E.L.D. or another important department of this nation is involved. Jerry doesn't have time to meddle in other people's affairs because his interests aren't at stake, and there aren't any red stars to obtain.

He instantly remembered that Jane Foster appeared to be Thor's girlfriend in Avengers when he heard the names Eric Selvig and Jane Foster.

In the first film of Avengers, Eric Selvig, a professor, assisted S.H.I.E.L.D. in studying the Tesseract. Later, under Loki's scepter control, he created a space wormhole on the Stark Building's roof. For that reason, he put the book away and got out of the car.

"The emergence of Thor's Hammer may have been noted in their meteorological data, Miss Wizard, which will be very useful for the base researchers' next study." Coulson apologetically explained.

He didn't want to behave like a thief, but they had to be given special treatment at certain times.

"You see, this is why I decided to decline Director Fury's invitation to join. Because you constantly believe that what you do is correct, despite the fact that this is not always the case." Jerry approached Coulson while adding a bit more sarcasm to his voice.

As Coulson heard the words, he was a bit embarrassed. This time, Director Fury advised him that letting the Wizard do anything he wants to do would be preferable.

But for now, it seems that continuing would only cause the Wizard to have less respect for them.

Jerry didn't go too aggressive when he noticed Coulson's hesitation and instead suggested, "Well, I think that since the three of you are quite competent at meteorological research. Why not abandon the existing brutal method and politely ask them for assistance? They may still be willing to help, and this is more effective, in my opinion."

"What do you say?" Jerry spoke and then turned to face the three.

After quickly understanding what Jerry meant, the three hurriedly said, "Of course, provided you return our equipment and our research notes, we are happy to provide some technical support,"

"See? Don't be so mean. Working together can be beneficial to both parties."

"I may have to invite you to S.H.I.E.L.D. if you don't swear to keep the results of this study a secret thereafter." Coulson finally accepted Jerry's suggestion.

"Very good."

Jane and the others swiftly switched from being angry to being glad when they learned that Coulson was truly prepared to return their equipment and notes.
