Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Truth and Lies

"Bang!"

A sniper bullet exploded, arcing under the influence of George's magnetic force, accurately hitting the bald leader's temple and killing him instantly.

Seeing their leader suddenly get headshotted, the Terrorists were stunned, followed by screams and chaos.

But there were also experienced individuals among them who roughly determined the direction of the sniper shot based on where the bald leader was attacked, and then unleashed a barrage of fire.

Some even pulled out Rockets.

"Good thing I twisted the bullet's direction."

George had long anticipated this situation; because the bullet attacked in an arc, the Terrorists' estimated attack position was completely Error, and he wasn't harmed at all.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Shot after shot, bullets from different directions and angles blew away the counterattacking Terrorists one by one.

Even if they hid behind cover, the result remained unchanged.

Helplessly, the remaining Terrorists who were still alive retreated in terror into the cave.

In their eyes, it wasn't one person attacking them, but a group of people, otherwise how could bullets come at them from all directions?

"It's almost time to wrap things up."

George put away his sniper rifle, floated down to the cave entrance, and then pointed his wand towards the entrance while chanting.

"Smokescreen Charm!"

A large amount of thick smoke poured into the cave, and the inside of the cave immediately became invisible.

Pulling out his pistol, he walked in leisurely.

Based on his judgment, there were probably no more than ten people with combat capability left in the cave at this point.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The pistol fired continuously, and the bullets formed various arcs, accurately hitting the Terrorists hiding in the dark who wanted to ambush him.

The smokescreen could obstruct the Terrorists' vision, and it would also obstruct George's vision.

However, George's telepathic ability allowed him to roughly perceive the mental activities of the hidden Terrorists nearby and sense the aura of fear they emitted.

Using this as a position, he could accurately kill them one by one in the smokescreen.

With his current strength, if it were a sneak attack, he could even take down a general small military Base without injury.

Of course, it was only a sneak attack; similarly, if he were ambushed, a missile could also take his life.

This was also why he was so cautious about hiding his identity and tried every means not to expose his whereabouts.

As a normal human in his previous life, he understood the power of modern technological weapons too well, so even after learning magic, he never underestimated organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA.

To be honest, he felt that even Magicians like Dumbledore and Grindelwald might not survive if they directly withstood a nuclear explosion head-on.

"My apologies."

As the smokescreen dissipated, George came before the Terrorists who had been bitten by poisonous snakes and fainted earlier, and he pulled the trigger on them without hesitation.

He was a rational person; his experiences after transmigrating told him that when facing enemies, one should not harbor unnecessary sympathy, because that would only harm oneself in the end.

Only dead enemies are good enemies.

Walking to the deepest part of the cave, after dealing with the last two Terrorists guarding the door, George used Alohomora to open the iron door and walked in.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to save you. Everyone outside has been dealt with."

Looking at Tony, who was aiming a steel arm at him, George tucked his gun into his waistband and said with a smile.

Upon hearing George's words and seeing the two fallen guards at the entrance, Tony finally breathed a sigh of relief and put away the mechanical arm he had made, which could spray high-pressure flames.

Just now, hearing gunshots and screams from outside, he knew something had happened, but he wasn't sure if the people who came were friends or enemies, so he had to be on guard.

"Did Rhodes send you?"

"I don't know Rhodes. Let's go, we can talk outside first."

George finished speaking and walked out of the cave first.

Tony and Ethan looked at each other, picked up their belongings, and followed closely behind. As they passed the two fallen guards, they even picked up their rifles.

It was clear they had worried too much; along the way, besides corpses, they didn't see another living person.

Arriving outside the cave and seeing the bald leader who had been headshotted, Tony couldn't help but murmur:

"Did you really do this by yourself?"

One person single-handedly breaking into a Base so heavily guarded by so many Terrorists, not only killing everyone but also remaining unharmed himself, this was simply too unscientific.

However, what he saw next was even more unscientific.

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

George cast the Levitation Charm, causing the Stark Industries shells and missiles piled at the entrance to float up one by one, then align themselves in order and fly into the cave.

He wanted to completely blow up this cave and everything in it to ashes, eliminating any traces that might expose him, such as the surveillance in the cave and the corpses.

"Who exactly are you, a Magician?"

Seeing George's magical manipulation, Tony was stunned again.

"You can call me George, or you can call me a Magician. Now that you mention it, I think I'm quite similar to a Magician. Maybe I can even make money with this in the future.

But for now, we need to get further away from here."

Taking Tony and Ethan into a jeep, after driving to the limit of his ability, he simultaneously detonated the grenades he had collected from the Terrorists.

The strong explosion, along with the shells and missiles, completely destroyed the entire cave, covering up all traces.

"Why did you save me?"

In the desert outside the valley, Tony, sitting in the passenger seat, asked George.

He couldn't help but be curious about George, this mysterious guy, and he couldn't help but wonder about the other party's purpose in saving him.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

George parked the car and asked.

"What's the lie?"

Tony blinked.

George smiled:

"The lie is that I think you are a very talented inventor, and if you died here, it would be a great loss to humanity, so for the sake of all humanity, I specifically came to save you."

"Although I think what you said is right, it does sound a bit fake."

Tony couldn't help but laugh.

Having escaped the clutches of the Terrorist organization, he was generally very happy.

"Then what's the truth?"

"The truth is that after you were kidnapped, Stark Industries' stock plummeted, and I wanted to make a fortune from it, so I specifically came to save you."

George said very directly.

He felt that it was better to be honest about such matters. Tony Stark was not foolish, and if they wanted to cooperate in the future, it was better to be sincere in certain aspects to establish a certain foundation for cooperation.

More importantly, this was also a test, a test of whether Tony would close the weapons manufacturing department next.

In the movie, Tony closed the weapons manufacturing department after returning, causing the stock to plummet again, but this was not a movie, and Ethan was not dead, so he couldn't be sure if Tony would do that after returning.

Bringing up this topic now was also to confirm it through his mental abilities and Legilimency.
