章節 288: Chapter 287
This time, when Chen Ye came to recruit Scarlet Witch, he did not bring the Mind Stone.
Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's abilities both originated from the Mind Stone, making the siblings naturally immune to its effects. Thus, the Mind Stone cannot control their minds.
(Comic settings and movie settings differ on this point.)
Chen Ye initially thought that subduing Scarlet Witch might be a tough challenge, potentially even dangerous.
After all, in *Avengers: Endgame*, Scarlet Witch's abilities were astounding.
Her chaos magic could control someone as powerful as Thanos!
However, things went unexpectedly smoothly.
Scarlet Witch seemed like an amateur who had never learned to fight—full of potential but unsure how to wield it.
This was indeed the case!
When Chen Ye had Quicksilver in his grasp, Scarlet Witch immediately didn't know what to do…
Chen Ye held Quicksilver with one hand and had his arm around Scarlet Witch with the other.
In his grasp, the siblings were like mere children!
Of course, Chen Ye initially relied on a trick.
He first used telekinesis to restrain Quicksilver, preventing him from using his abilities.
Then he ambushed and captured Scarlet Witch!
"Your brother's life is in my hands right now!" Chen Ye whispered in Scarlet Witch's ear. "Wanda, do you want to watch him suffocate to death, or will you swear loyalty to me? What's your choice?"
As he spoke, Chen Ye tightened his grip on Quicksilver.
Immediately.
Quicksilver felt his breath cut off, his face turning red.
Aside from his speed, Quicksilver's physical body was only marginally stronger than an average human's.
Compared to a monster like Chen Ye, he was leagues behind.
"No! Let go! Let Pietro go—I… I will swear loyalty to you!"
Scarlet Witch's response was poor.
Like a frightened little girl…
And indeed, she was still just a young girl.
In the original story, she could have performed much better, easily taking down the Avengers, but fear and timidity held her back.
It was only after her brother Quicksilver died that Scarlet Witch truly unleashed her potential and became a warrior.
"Gah… gah…"
Quicksilver seemed to want to say something to stop his sister.
But with Chen Ye's hand around his neck, even breathing was a struggle, let alone speaking.
Chen Ye released Scarlet Witch and said calmly, "Swear your loyalty to me!"
Freed, Scarlet Witch seemed to entertain some rebellious thoughts.
"You'd better hurry!" Chen Ye warned immediately. "Your brother's almost out of time!"
By this point, Quicksilver's eyes had started to roll back…
Seeing this, Scarlet Witch paled in fright and immediately raised her hand to swear.
"I, Wanda Maximoff, swear my loyalty to… Sir, I don't even know your name."
Chen Ye slapped his forehead and quickly added, "Ronan Anderson!"
Wanda solemnly swore again: "I, Wanda Maximoff, swear my loyalty to Ronan Anderson, never to betray!"
As soon as Scarlet Witch finished speaking, it seemed as if a mystical pact was formed between Chen Ye and her, linking their hearts…
"You have recruited a subordinate. Current mission progress: 1/10!"
Hearing the system prompt, Chen Ye looked at Scarlet Witch.
At that moment.
Scarlet Witch's expression changed entirely.
The look she gave Chen Ye was no longer one of hatred and fear but of devout reverence.
As if she were gazing at her destined master!
"Master, Wanda is at your service!"
Scarlet Witch bowed deeply to Chen Ye, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her cleavage…
Chen Ye was quite surprised.
He hadn't expected the system's pact to be this effective.
Then, Chen Ye loosened his grip on the nearly suffocated Quicksilver.
"Cough, cough…"
Regaining his freedom, Quicksilver, like a drowning man saved from the water, gasped for fresh air.
"Thank you, Master," Wanda quickly said.
This showed that Wanda had not become a mindless puppet; she still retained her emotions.
Seeing this, Chen Ye felt a huge sense of relief.
He had feared that Wanda might turn into a soulless puppet under the influence of the pact, which would have been no fun.
"What… what did you do to Wanda?" Quicksilver asked, both shocked and furious.
Ignoring Quicksilver, Chen Ye extended his hand toward Wanda.
Wanda obediently lowered her head, allowing Chen Ye to easily touch her.
"You bastard, don't touch my sister!" Quicksilver cursed and immediately charged at Chen Ye.
A blur was left in his wake…
However!
The next moment!
Quicksilver's body suddenly froze in place, ensnared in red energy…
Clearly, it wasn't Chen Ye who acted but Scarlet Witch.
Chen Ye was initially surprised, then he chuckled.
But Quicksilver was utterly shocked!
He never expected that the one to stop him would be his own sister?
"Wanda? What are you doing?" Quicksilver exclaimed in disbelief.
Scarlet Witch's pretty face turned serious: "Pietro, I can't let you harm the Master!"
Hearing this, Quicksilver felt as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen on the spot!
Like a bolt from the blue!!
"Wanda! Have you lost your mind?"
"No, my brother. I'm doing this to prevent you from getting yourself killed."
Scarlet Witch calmly replied, appearing very composed.
"Wanda, release me!" Quicksilver struggled. "No matter what this guy did to you, I can beat him!"
Scarlet Witch shook her head, neither releasing him nor hurting him.
Chen Ye laughed, "Wanda, let him go!"
"But, Master…"
Chen Ye interrupted, "Don't worry; he's your brother after all. I won't harm him."
Hearing this, Wanda finally withdrew her chaos magic.
Chen Ye turned his gaze to Quicksilver and said, "Pietro Maximoff, I'm giving you a fair chance to challenge me!"
"If you win, you can take your sister with you!"
"But if you lose, you have to swear loyalty to me, just like your sister!"
Hearing this, Quicksilver immediately agreed, "Fine, you bastard, get ready for a beating!"
He had no choice!
Because there was no way he would leave his sister alone with an unknown person.
"Wanda, step back," Chen Ye gestured.
Wanda silently moved aside.
Seeing his sister obey Chen Ye so readily, Quicksilver was furious, "What the hell did you do to her?"
Chen Ye smiled and beckoned, "Beat me, and I'll tell you!"
"You asked for it!"
As Quicksilver's words fell, he left only a blur behind.
Fast!
Incredibly fast!
No wonder he's called Quicksilver; his speed was beyond comprehension.
Even with Chen Ye's enhanced senses, he couldn't track Quicksilver's movement.
