Charles immediately issued the order to recall all the teams,
But the scattered teams still rushed back to Grimm Town one after another. Hermione and Selina were in the second to last batch, and the X-Factor team that had sneaked into the West Coast to investigate had only just returned.
Because they had obtained some sensitive information and some of their members were injured, Batman had led his men to pick them up.
Hermione had long heard that the West Coast mission was quite dangerous, and Ron had only joined the X-Factor before leaving because of his little disagreement with Drac.
Thus, she had been worried about him for a while.
At that moment, she saw Little Weisles following behind Batman, and he didn't look like he was seriously injured.
Only then did she relax.
Bruce had been in contact with Château Xavier during the mission, so he knew that Hermione and the others seemed to have found key information.
When he saw the two strangers standing on the side,
He guessed that they were key figures.
He stepped forward and shook hands with them as he introduced himself. "Bruce Wayne."
The Kowalski brothers were shocked. This was Bruce Wayne? That mysterious and secretive tycoon?
Harrison asked directly, "Mr. Wayne, what's the matter?
Are you a wizard? Or … a mutant? "
Bruce smiled and shook his head. "Neither.
I'm not a superpowered person. "
The Kowalski brothers were puzzled, but the others on the side already had meaningful smiles on their faces.
The corners of Hermione's mouth twitched.
For a moment, Charles gave Bruce a general overview of the situation.
Rolf also brought a suitcase over and placed it on the coffee table for everyone to examine.
Bruce went through it first.
Hank went through it again.
Then, Jonathan couldn't help but touch it inside and out. However, it seemed to be an ordinary suitcase, and didn't even have a logo on it like Harrison's magic box.
Rolf specially pulled out the zipper that held the photos for everyone to see, but didn't find anything special.
Hermione searched it one last time, and found that the suitcase was so clean that there wasn't even a scratch on it, which was quite depressing.
"Could it be that the mystery isn't in this box?" Hermione thought for a while, but she was still unwilling to give up. She asked Rolf, "When old Mr. Scarman gave you this box, did he say anything else?"
Ralf really could not remember it clearly. Moreover, Hank and the others had already asked him this question twice, which made him a little nervous. He was even more unsure if he had missed out or misremembered anything. At this moment, Hermione was even more careful when she asked, "… I don't think he specifically told me anything. Grandpa was just very happy that I could come to America because he and Grandma got to know each other in America. And Grandpa Jacob, he has always missed those days in America …"
Hermione asked carefully, "Did he mention any place or event in the United States?"
Rolf thought hard for a while, and shook his head with a bitter face. "Grandpa actually didn't tell us much about the past. He only talked about it with Grandma and Grandpa Jacob when he was with them."
Everyone was not sure if Newt Scarman really didn't tell his grandson anything, or if he had said something, but it was erased because of the disappearance of magic. However, seeing that the little clue that they had found with great difficulty was about to be cut off, they looked at each other for a moment.
Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "I've read Mr. Newt Scarman's biography before. I'll go back and see how much I can write down from memory, and then let's think together if there are any other clues …"
Rolf looked a little guilty. Seeing that everyone was racking their brains, Ron couldn't help but say to Rolf, "Why don't you think about it carefully? Didn't you often follow old Mr. Scarman around when you were young? Where did he go when he came to America?"
"Uh … Grandpa Jacob's bakery?"
Ron clapped his hands. "That's good. Where is this bakery? Let's go take a look. Maybe we'll find some clues! "
Rolf looked even more guilty. With a red face, he said, "Previously … I went to look for it when I just fell into the time loop. Maybe it was because there was a protection spell cast on it. The whole bakery disappeared."
The memories of the Kowalski brothers were that the bakery had been transferred out a few years ago.
Ron pulled his hair hard. He still couldn't believe that the clues were gone so quickly, so he insisted that Rolf recall carefully. "… We're counting on you now. Think about it carefully again. No wonder old Mr. Scarman didn't recall his youth in front of you. Don't old people like to think about the past in front of their sons after drinking? "
Rolf became more and more helpless. "My grandpa doesn't drink …"
"Doesn't drink?" Ron didn't believe it. "Not long ago, there were photos of him drinking … Ah!"
Hermione and the others turned around and saw Ron flipping through the photos. Suddenly, he pressed one of the photos and stood up. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Rolf was the closest to him. He leaned forward to take a look and saw that it was a photo of Newt and Jacob. The two of them were clinking glasses in a bar. Their faces were red and they looked drunk. Rolf was surprised. "I didn't notice it. But grandpa doesn't usually drink."
Ron wasn't looking at the two drunk old men. Instead, he was looking at the bar behind them. It was the name of this bar: Oasis. Oasis Bar.
Hermione also came over to take a look, but she didn't see anything wrong. Ron couldn't help but shout, "You still can't see it? Oasis, that band. Harry often hums their songs! "
Hermione indeed didn't have any impression of it. However, after thinking about it, she remembered something else. She turned around and asked Natasha, "We picked out five locations. One of them is in London. A band is going to hold a concert. It's …"
"Oasis." Natasha nodded slowly.
Ron laughed. Hermione also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with everyone — the clue had been connected.
Since they had found the next link, Ron, Hermione and the others thought that it would be best to immediately return to England to look for the band. However, Charles calmed them down. "Rest for two days first. You've all just returned from a mission. It's best to adjust your condition first." The children still insisted. Charles said, "Don't be rash. Investigate the band carefully in the next two days. Also, Batman brought back some news. We may have to be prepared."
Batman didn't look too good when he came back. Hermione initially thought that it was because of the injury he received during Nightwing. Now, she understood that there must be some bad news on the West Coast. But … Hermione suddenly froze. She looked up at Charles. "Could it be …"
The old professor nodded slightly, confirming Hermione's guess. Then, without waiting for Ron and the others to ask any questions, he let them go back to rest. Only Hermione's heart was in turmoil. She was happy, surprised, and a little scared. However, she still gritted her teeth and didn't let Ron get any information out of her. It was better to tell them later.
Back at Château Xavier, although she was still excited, once she took a hot bath and lay on the bed, exhaustion swept over her. Hermione slept soundly.
Equally excited and not planning to rest were the Kowalski brothers. They walked around the entire Château Xavier under Hank's lead. They also visited the laboratories, entertainment rooms, and other places. Listening to Hank's description, they couldn't help but be fascinated.
At that time, Hank happened to bring the two brothers to the library. He said, "This library isn't small, but it's not even a third of what it used to be. As for the hexagonal library built in the Hogwarts, it has been enchanted with space expansion magic. Naturally, its capacity is not small."
Harrison didn't care, but Jonathan stepped in with great interest and browsed along the rows of bookshelves. However, Hank followed behind him and added, "The books here are all available on the market. There aren't many unique books." In other words, books related to magic and superpowers did not exist.
Johnathan sighed, and his mood suddenly dropped a lot. Seeing this, Hank smiled and said, "But the things on this bookshelf are quite interesting."
As he said that, he led the Kowalski brothers to a bookshelf against the wall. Unlike the other bookshelves, the bookshelf was not filled with paperbacks or hardcover books. Instead, it was filled with propaganda pamphlets that looked like they were popular during the French Revolution. Some of them were not even glued, just nailed, and some were even handwritten.
From the second reboot onwards, they had been consciously saving all records related to the Old World.
Jonathan picked up a picture book called "The Dark Knight." After flipping through a few pages, he turned to Hank and said, "Mr. Mccoy, maybe I can stay here for a few days, just … uh, for inspiration?"
The Kowalski brothers were staying at Château Xavier for the time being. Professor X, Batman, Iron Man, and the others held an emergency meeting on the West Coast in the underground conference room. The one who made the report was Nightwing, who still had a leg in a cast. He brought everyone a piece of important news: a secret military meeting was being held in San Diego. The participants were representatives of several major countries, including the United States and Russia.
"The city seems to be calm, but almost all the streets are filled with plainclothes guards. We pretended to be students visiting the University of California. We didn't talk about anything else, but Tim still found out that someone was following us," said Ron.
"But it's probably just a routine check. They aren't targeting us," added Red Robin.
Iron Man was in charge of the mission on the East Coast, especially in New York City. At that moment, he crossed his arms and said, "You were followed before N7 showed up, so there shouldn't be any connection."
Batman said solemnly, "There's still a connection."
Everybody looked over, and Bruce glanced at Dick. He then said, "We pretended to be visiting the city during the day, but in fact, we sent people to monitor a few hotels, but we didn't get any useful information. So, we decided to use another method to sneak into the hotel …"
"So, Nightwing did his old job," said Damian coldly.
