Mysteries On Marvel

"Interesting... I hope you don't die too easily later," the refined man muttered to himself, his lips curling into a faint smile as the yellow taxi disappeared in his rearview mirror. He seemed to have found a new, intriguing toy.

In the taxi, Eren couldn't help but glance back at the black sedan speeding away in the opposite direction.

The moment their eyes met through the car windows, Eren felt his intuition flare violently—a Diviner's warning, a premonition of something ominous.

What's going on?

Why did that guy give me such an unsettling feeling?

It was as if their paths were destined to cross again, not as acquaintances but as adversaries.

Eren immediately attempted to divine the identity of the man in the sedan.

But just like his earlier attempt to locate Aunt Feng, his efforts were blocked by some unknown interference.

"Failed again..."

The failure only confirmed his suspicions. The man in the black sedan was no ordinary individual—his very existence disrupted divination.

Could Aunt Feng's disappearance be connected to him?

Eren considered asking the driver to turn around and follow the sedan but was interrupted by Yuan Nan's calm voice.

"We're here."

Eren looked up and saw a grand monastery-like building in front of them. Its gates bore a large sign: Celestial Faction.

The Celestial Faction? Here of all places?

The familiarity of the name gave Eren pause.

The Latino driver, upon seeing the Celestial Faction sign, cast Eren and Yuan Nan a peculiar look. His expression grew even stranger when Yuan Nan confirmed Eren's question.

"Does Aunt Feng work here?"

Unperturbed, Yuan Nan explained, "It's not that surprising. My mom doesn't have a high level of education, and she's Asian. Jobs that are respectable, well-paying, and have good environments are hard to come by for someone like her. She got this job as a financial accountant here after pulling a few strings and proving her skills. Her looks probably helped too."

Her bluntness left both Eren and the driver silent.

Indeed, in a country that supposedly championed freedom and equality, true equality was an illusion.

The driver's initial wariness disappeared, replaced by a mix of sympathy and respect for Yuan Nan's mother.

Eren, on the other hand, was lost in thought. What Aunt Feng needs isn't a fleeting monetary fix—it's a stable, high-paying job.

Breaking the silence, Eren handed his phone to Yuan Nan. "If Aunt Feng really disappeared here, then this place is obviously dangerous. Wait in the car while I go inside. The first number on my phone is George Stacy, captain of the NYPD's 13th Precinct. If I'm not back in 30 minutes, call him. He'll send help."

Pausing for a moment, Eren swiped to another number. "If Captain Stacy can't handle it, call this number. It's Tony Stark's personal line."

Yuan Nan's eyes widened slightly at the mention of Tony Stark. But she quickly composed herself, nodding as she took the phone.

Eren then turned to the Latino driver. Fixing the man with a sharp gaze, he said, "Stay here and protect her. If anything feels off, leave immediately."

"Yes!" the driver replied, his tone unusually firm.

Unknown to Yuan Nan, Eren had subtly hypnotized the driver using his mental abilities, ensuring the man would prioritize Yuan Nan's safety.

As Eren stepped out of the car, Yuan Nan's eyes reflected a mix of surprise and intrigue.

George Stacy and Tony Stark... This guy is more connected than I thought.

Her astonishment deepened when she noticed how effortlessly Eren had hypnotized the driver.

Though Eren caught Yuan Nan's reaction, he dismissed it as simple surprise at his connections.

After instructing Yuan Nan and the driver, Eren's figure blurred and vanished from sight.

Instead of charging directly into the Celestial Faction's estate, Eren circled the building cautiously, identifying several escape routes.

Once satisfied, he retrieved his crystal ball and prepared to divine the situation within the compound.

But this time...
