The war had ended by the time the sun began to rise.
The situation in that godforsaken place called Sokovia was a bit like the warlord era of China. A country no bigger than a hand had five Warlords, and these five guys fought several times a year. The Warlord who finally captured the capital would declare himself President.
Although the longest term for a President was only a year, at least it was still a President!
If it followed the Marvel Comics universe, Sokovia should have been Doctor Doom's territory. However, Li Qingyuan carefully searched his memories and found that his predecessor had never heard that name.
Thinking back to when Marvel was down on its luck and seemed to have sold off the rights to many superheroes and supervillains, which led to a big difference between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the comics. So, it seemed that Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four had been directly removed from this world.
Similarly, the Mutants had also disappeared from the world, and only the ridiculous Inhumans remained.
What a pity.
He was still very interested in the Invisible Woman and Mystique!
If that didn't work, Polaris would do!
Fortunately, he still had Wanda by his side, which could slightly alleviate his inner pain.
Although this Wanda was currently in a state where she could only be admired from afar, cultivating the Scarlet Witch sounded like a very high-class thing to do!
The next morning, the three of them woke up. Wanda and Pietro both expressed their gratitude to him. The two children also knew that if it weren't for this Jack brother, whom they didn't usually interact with, saving them, they might have been blown to bits yesterday.
Or they might have run out and been shot to death!
The victorious troops began to take over the city. The rescue teams were methodically maintaining the damaged buildings and rescuing the wounded. Sokovia, after decades of Warlord warfare, had formed a dragon-like post-war handling plan.
Although it was chaotic here, there was order within the chaos. Basically, no matter who occupied the capital, they wouldn't engage in destructive looting. Instead, they would spend this time extensively stabilizing the situation and ensuring the safety of residents' lives and property.
Because everyone was fighting for the economic and political status of the capital, if the capital were reduced to rubble, it would be a losing proposition for everyone. No one would dare risk angering the other four factions to do such a shortsighted thing.
Yesterday, the original host and Wanda's parents were truly collateral damage when the missiles struck.
It was unavoidable; every year, thousands of unlucky people died in the chaos. However, compared to Sokovia's millions of people, fewer died in the fighting than in car accidents.
If it didn't happen to you, no one would care!
The rescue team cleared all the debris from the stairwell and, incidentally, collected the remains of the Maximoff Parents.
Wanda and Pietro started crying again when they saw the few piles of… remains. Li Qingyuan initially had no reaction, as he wasn't familiar with the deceased.
But for some reason, when he saw the two piles of… remains being put into boxes, his heart couldn't help but clench.
He had directly replaced the original soul, but the blood ties etched into his bones still made him feel a bit overwhelmed.
The rescue team placed the four bodies in boxes and took them for cremation. Li Qingyuan watched in silence with Wanda and her brother throughout the entire process before burying the ashes in the cemetery.
There was no melodramatic setting of carrying their parents' ashes around with them; everyone knew that was simply unrealistic!
The maintenance troops originally intended to send the two children to an orphanage after learning that the Maximoff Parents had died, but Li Qingyuan directly rejected this proposal.
He knew that the orphanages in Sokovia were actually Baron Strucker's laboratories, where he had been using orphans for human experiments for years.
In a chaotic country like Sokovia, even normal people had to carefully consider their own futures, so naturally, no one would pay attention to the orphans.
Wanda tightly grasped Li Qingyuan's clothes. Although the Scarlet Witch didn't look like a ten-year-old in terms of development, her height was still that of a child.
Wanda, who was 1.4 meters tall, stood beside Li Qingyuan, who was a full 1.8 meters tall, and appeared so small and pitiful.
She and Pietro were really afraid that Li Qingyuan would hand them over. After all, the name "orphanage" didn't sound like a good place.
Anyway, any normal child wouldn't like it there.
"Jack, I understand how you feel, but have you considered that it will be difficult for you to raise these two children alone?" The neighborhood lawyer in charge of the registration said to Li Qingyuan earnestly.
They had been neighbors for over a decade. Although they were of different races, the auntie type of person was the same no matter the race.
"Aunt Madeline, I know what I'm doing. If I send them to an orphanage, their lives will be ruined!" Li Qingyuan, having accepted the original body's memories, began to talk with the black auntie in front of him.
It seemed that in the memories, the other party had always wanted to introduce her daughter to the original body?
Looking at the dark and plump auntie in front of him, Li Qingyuan suddenly shivered.
Who could handle this!
Fleeing Sokovia quickly gained another reason.
"The Maximoff Parents were such good people! How could they be so unlucky!" The black auntie rambled on for a long time, reminiscing about the good deeds of the original body's parents and taking the opportunity to ask Li Qingyuan if he wanted her daughter to help.
Now, Lee Qingyuan could be considered a proper orphan with a million-dollar inheritance, and he was also quite handsome, definitely a super bachelor.
Wouldn't it seem a bit excessive to push your daughter on him right after his parents had just passed away?
Wouldn't it be better to quickly have his daughter help them carry on the family line and continue the family's legacy?
Madeline, as an old neighbor of the original host's parents, had learned quite a few Chinese customs.
As for Lee Qingyuan being only eighteen this year, and her daughter only sixteen?
Sokovia didn't care about that sort of thing. Forget sixteen, even fourteen-year-olds got married!
After finally sending Madeline, the auntie who was trying to sell her daughter, out the door, Lee Qingyuan felt that dealing with her was even more tiring than his mission on the Titanic.
"Jack, brother!" After sending the rescue team and Aunt Madeline out, the day was finally over.
Pietro and Wanda stood before him, calling out hesitantly.
The two children looked at him with some trepidation, not knowing how they should live from now on.
They had no blood relation to him at all. That he was willing to take them in was already a great kindness, not to mention that he had saved their lives.
The Maximoff Parents were of standard Western mindset; their savings probably wouldn't even cover the burial fees just now.
It could be said that the two children were now absolutely penniless. Not to mention continuing their education, if Li Qingyuan didn't take care of them now, they might even have problems with tomorrow's meals.
Right, the place they were living in now was still Li Qingyuan's property!
