"Sebastian, when I came here, I saw you drinking tea. You look so relaxed and happy," Tony said from the doorway.
Turning his head to look at Tony Stark standing at the door of his office, Sebastian said with a smile, "Then come and have a drink with me."
Walking to Sebastian's side, Tony sat down on the chair, looked at the tea in the pot, and said with disgust, "Give me wine, I do not drink this tasteless thing."
"That is because you do not understand the beauty of tea," Sebastian replied.
Having said that, Sebastian still snapped his fingers, and a bottle of wine and a cup appeared out of thin air on the table next to Tony.
Seeing the wine on the table, Tony immediately poured himself a glass, drank half of it in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said with some doubt, "This wine is really good, very similar to the one at home... Well, no, this wine is exactly the same as the one at home. Where did you get this wine?"
"Your home," Sebastian said simply.
Hearing this, Tony rolled his eyes helplessly, speechless about Sebastian's behavior. He drank the wine directly, and then said to Sebastian, "Okay, let us not talk about these things. What are you going to do next? I have placed the people from the Guardians of the Galaxy in the T-Fortress, and the Mind Stone on Vision's forehead can also start the removal surgery. Are you sure you do not want to get involved?"
"I have some other things to do, and I do not have time to deal with other things for the time being. After the Mind Stone is removed, you just need to help Reed send it to the corresponding location," Sebastian explained.
"Sebastian, your plan is linked together. If there is a problem in one aspect, your plan will be ruined. Are you sure you really want to carry out this plan? Cannot you change it and replace it with a more reliable one?" Tony asked with concern.
Turning to look at Tony, Sebastian said to him, "Tony, my opponent is not at the level of the Shadow Council. He is even far superior to Thanos. This plan is my only chance, so there is no possibility of changing it. I understand your worries, but this is my only chance now."
After taking a deep breath, Tony nodded seriously and said to Sebastian, "Sebastian, do not worry, Reed and I will not hold you back. We will complete your request."
"Thank you very much, Tony," Sebastian said sincerely.
"Do not thank me. I am not doing this just for you. I am also for the Earth. What is more, our help is not completely without cost. It is mutually beneficial. This is why Namor and the others agreed to you, is it not? Okay, I am leaving. If there is anything else, just notify me," Tony said.
After that, Tony said no more, waved to Sebastian, turned and left.
Tony naturally did not need to come here in person for such a small matter. A video call would have been enough to resolve it. However, Tony came in person anyway, not just to discuss these matters, but also to see Sebastian again, just like Victor had done a while ago.
Although Victor did not know what Sebastian was going to do at the time, his intuition told him that Sebastian was probably preparing something big. Furthermore, Victor's current magical cultivation was more than enough for him to know a lot.
It had to be said that Sebastian had many friends in this world, and even more comrades, but Tony Stark and Victor von Doom were probably the only two people he could truly trust with his life.
A tray of refreshments was placed on the table. Wanda sat on Sebastian's lap, curled up in his arms, resting her head on his chest. Listening to his breathing and heartbeat, she said, "Sebastian, is there really no other way to solve this problem?"
"You should know that I cannot retreat," Sebastian said quietly.
"Even if that can save your life? Even if you can maintain the current situation?" Wanda asked.
"Even if I can save my life, even if I can continue to maintain the current situation, but you also know that if I really take a step back, then what will greet me will probably be the abyss," Sebastian said.
"I understand. Then I will participate too. At least let me stay by your side and help you deal with those beings," Wanda insisted.
Reaching out and slowly stroking Wanda's long hair, Sebastian gently kissed the top of Wanda's head and whispered, "Your task is to keep your original heart. When the plan begins and Chthon appears, do not be bewitched by him. That way, I will be able to do my best without any worries. This task is extremely important to me. If something happens to you, then even if my plan succeeds, it will be meaningless."
Hearing this, Wanda nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I understand!"
"Also, in case, I mean in case, once I really fail, then please help me cast a Memory Charm on Alisha, let her forget me and forget everything, and then help me tell Vision that Alisha's safety must be guaranteed no matter what. You can do that, right?" Sebastian asked.
"I can, but I do not want to do that, and I hope you will not really put me in a situation where I have to use magic on Alisha," Wanda said with emotion.
"Of course, of course, do not worry," Sebastian reassured her.
After reassuring Wanda, Sebastian said no more. The two of them cuddled together, gazing at the scenery outside, speechless for a long moment.
Early the next morning, Sebastian set out for the Space Tower, crossing the space bridge to the parallel universe where the X-Men existed. He then journeyed directly to the location where Chthon was imprisoned, re-entering that dimension.
Soon, Sebastian's spirit arrived before Chthon, who was visibly surprised by Sebastian's return.
"Magician, why are you here again? Has the Authority I granted you before not satisfied your greed?" Chthon asked.
Sebastian, gazing into Chthon's eyes, immediately feigned awe and humility. "Great Chthon, how could I possibly be so greedy in your presence? I have come again to tell you something. I believe I have found the human girl you mentioned."
As he spoke, Sebastian extended his hand and released a trace of Wanda's aura, a modified form that would only allow Chthon to identify Wanda and prevent him from using it to interfere with her.
Upon hearing Sebastian's words, Chthon immediately absorbed that trace of aura, discerned it briefly, and immediately let out an excited laugh.
"Alright, alright, it is her, it is her! Magician, you did a great job, and your speed is very satisfying. Where is she now? Bring her to me immediately, and I will give you more Authority and more rewards!" Chthon said eagerly.
"Lord Chthon, there is a problem here, and I also want to report it to you. This girl is not easy to approach. She is currently under strict protection!" Sebastian said.
