M: TSIA Chapter 142: August Wu
🕑 Added 2025-04-16 13:28:50 +0000 UTCLance murmured softly, trying to calm the object down. "Why is this thing coming to life...?"
No wonder the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibited the use of magic on Muggle-made items. A slight mistake could lead to a minor disaster... or a very big one—depending on how lucky you were that day.
Suddenly, a portal opened.
An elegant woman walked through the portal. She wore a robe resembling a palace gown and held a long wand.
Lance quickly set down his magic book, stood up, and greeted her: "Aunt Wu, why are you here?"
This graceful witch was the guardian of the Hong Kong Island Temple and also Lance's mentor - August Wu.
August Wu pretended to be angry and said, "You left the Taj Chamber without telling me, and you didn't even come to Hong Kong Island to see me. How could I not come to see you?"
Lance apologized with a smile, "Aunt Wu, you're joking. Please sit down, please sit down, I'll pour you some tea... Ah, it's not that I wouldn't go to Hong Kong Island to see you, it's just that I've been busy all this time, and there are always monsters popping up."
August Wu had initially taken Lance on as a replacement for herself. She had taught Lance diligently for some time, then recommended him to the Taj Chamber, hoping that Lance would one day take over her position as Guardian, but Lance was not interested in that and quietly left after training in the Taj Chamber for a few years.
Therefore, Lance, facing an elder who had high hopes for him, couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
August Wu set aside her wand and sat on the main chair of the sofa with him, complaining angrily: "I heard from Wong that you've killed many monsters, but can't you spare some time to come to Hong Kong Island?"
Lance made tea and poured water obediently, explaining shyly: "Aunt Wu, you know the rules of the Taj Chamber. When I leave, the ring will be taken back. It's very troublesome to go to the other side of the earth, and I was very poor back then..."
August Wu looked at Lance and said unhappily: "Your reasons are valid, but I won't pursue the fact that you didn't even call me, and you didn't even use magic to send that message once."
"..." Lance fell silent.
Those reasons were just excuses. If Lance really wanted to visit Hong Kong Island, he could always find a way. At worst, he could just borrow the portal from the New York Temple!
But did Lance feel guilty?
August Wu continued to let Lance off the hook: "Come to Coral Shore when you have time. Alice has mentioned you often."
August Wu's husband was English, and Alice was the couple's only daughter.
In fact, Lance first met Alice, and then was guided by Alice to meet August Wu, which allowed Lance to officially enter the world of magic.
At that time, the girl was still a middle school student. Based on the timeline, Alice should have been in college by then.
"That's fine!" Lance immediately agreed and asked, "Aunt Wu, Alice is in college, right?"
"Yes, at Hong Kong Island University." August Wu nodded with a smile and said somewhat sadly, "This girl inherited my genes and was born with a magical physique, but Alice is not interested in magic at all. She spends all day hanging out with a group of girls, and she also shouts that she wants to enter the police academy in the future and become a queen of law to punish crime."
Lance smiled and comforted her, "Actually, that's a good thing. Although the police profession is dangerous, it's even more dangerous for us witches. It's not bad for her to stay out of this circle."
August Wu sighed, "That's true. That's why I haven't stopped Alice. Let her do whatever she wants!"
August Wu paused for a moment and then said, "This time I came not only to see you but also to ask you to do something."
"Aunt Wu, just tell me, and I'll do it!" Lance patted his chest and promised.
Lance only had two people he could consider as parents in this world. One was the Sorcerer Supreme who taught Lance his skills, and the other was this teacher, August Wu. Of course, Lance had to do his best to help.
August Wu smiled and said, "As you know, your uncle Adam Gulliver works at the embassy, and Adam has a good relationship with the Korean diplomat there. A few days ago, that Korean diplomat was transferred to be the ambassador in Los Angeles, but just yesterday, the ambassador's daughter was kidnapped, and the child has not been found. I want you to go and help, and do your best to rescue the child."
Lance said without hesitation, "No problem, coincidentally I have business in Los Angeles, so I will do it while I have the time!"
...
...
...
Los Angeles.
Lance drove Tony Stark's luxury car off Highway 101, following Jarvis's calm instructions to the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles. The streets began to clear as dusk fell, the city lights flickering on one by one like stars waking up late.

PS: First, I want to sincerely apologize! There was a small mistake; Wu Guiyue is August Wu, a sorcerer from Hong Kong. I had previously searched for the name Wu Guiyue but couldn't find it. When I saw the names Alice and Gulliver, I realized that Wu Guiyue is August Wu. Once again, I apologize!
Kris knives come from the original official Marvel game character, Marvel Future Fight—Warriors of the Sky. They are Blue Dragon from Vietnam, War Tiger from Thailand, Sun Bird from Malaysia, and Shadow Shell whose origins are unknown.
Each of the Warriors of the Sky has exclusive weapons. Kris knives are the weapon of "Sun Bird," a Malay pirate from the 17th century who was then revived by Kris knives and began to transform into a positive character.
Of course, in this novel, Sun Bird does not have to come back to life.
