Perhaps in a few years, Rhodey would draw the Phoenix Force?
Or perhaps there were Mutants he didn't know about who also possessed the ability to traverse the Multiverse?
Anyway, all kinds of possibilities existed.
There was no need for Rhodey to worry unnecessarily now.
Life should continue as it was; being anxious and fearful wouldn't change anything.
However, a sense of crisis was still necessary. For example, Sorcerer Ancient One had previously told him that if he had anything he wanted to know, he could go find Strange.
Rhodey thought this was a good suggestion.
And if he remembered correctly, didn't Kamar-Taj have magic that could travel through the Multiverse?
Or was it runes or something?
Rhodey couldn't quite remember, but he recalled there was some similar ability.
Given that,
Rhodey decided to make a trip to Kamar-Taj to visit the newly appointed Sorcerer Supreme!
...
Considering that Doctor Strange had just dealt with Dormammu, and with the transition between the old and new Sorcerers Supreme, Kamar-Taj might be quite busy at the moment.
Therefore, Rhodey did not immediately go to visit.
About four or five days later,
Rhodey felt the time was right.
So he drove to 177A Bleecker Street in New York, which was the location of Kamar-Taj's Sanctum in New York.
Kamar-Taj had three Great Sanctums.
The Sanctum in New York was Doctor Strange's base.
Unlike Sorcerer Ancient One, who preferred to stay in Kamar-Taj,
Doctor Strange preferred to stay in the New York Sanctum, treating it as his residence, eating and living there almost entirely.
However,
ordinary person couldn't find this Sanctum.
Similar to the Muggle-repelling charm in the Harry Potter World, the Kamar-Taj lineage also had similar magic that prevented ordinary person from finding the Sanctum's location.
In the eyes of ordinary person, this building simply did not exist.
The address 177A simply wasn't there!
But in reality,
The Sanctum was there, and had never changed!
This was the power of magic.
Not scientific at all.
But very magical!
It was a little past 2 PM, and there weren't many pedestrians on the street. Rhodey parked his car in a paid parking space by the roadside.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a cloaked figure standing at the entrance of a uniquely styled building across the street.
The figure stood motionless at the building's entrance, doing who knew what.
Just then,
The building's main door opened.
Then, two men, one tall and one stout, walked out from inside.
"Wong, listen to me, I really suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up. With your current eating habits, your body will soon have problems!"
The tall, long-faced man walking on the left was Strange, who had just succeeded Ancient One as the new Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj.
And the stout, jovial-looking man walking beside him was Kamar-Taj's librarian—Wong!
Wong was now impatiently quickening his pace, walking ahead.
Strange, behind him, also quickly caught up, seemingly still wanting to persuade him to go to the hospital for a physical examination.
Just then, both of them simultaneously stopped, looking at the figure that appeared in front of them.
The figure wore a dark green cloak, and its entire face was obscured by Shadow.
But that familiar feeling made both Strange and Wong stop, frowning as they looked at the other party.
"Hi~! Friend, is there something you need?"
Strange asked.
At this moment,
The cloaked figure in front suddenly reached out and removed its hood, revealing a face that was incredibly familiar to both Strange and Wong.
"Mordo!" * 2
Both exclaimed!
The next moment, they instantly assumed defensive stances, looking solemnly at Mordo before them.
"Long time no see."
Mordo said indifferently.
"I don't think it's been that long."
Strange said.
Mordo's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept well for days and nights.
At this moment, Wong said, "Mordo, why did you betray Kamar-Taj? Weren't you the one who hated traitors the most in the past?"
Wong's questioning made Mordo's gaze turn to him.
"It's you. So you've become Strange's little follower now?" Mordo looked at his former junior disciple with a cold gaze, mockingly saying, "In the past, you followed Ancient One, now you follow Strange. Wong, do you like being someone's follower that much?"
"Hey~! Wong is not my follower!"
Strange explained.
"No one would think I'm your follower, except this lunatic!"
Wong glared at Strange, then said to Mordo with a displeased expression, "Mordo, you've changed. The old you would never say such things. It seems you've fallen into evil!"
"Fallen into evil?" Mordo sneered, "The ones who truly fell into evil are you! You mages!"
"This World shouldn't have mages!"
"You are the greatest threat to this World!!!"
He roared, hysterical like a madman whose faith had collapsed.
"Excuse me! Sorry to interrupt."
Just then,
A Strange voice suddenly came from behind Mordo.
The three simultaneously looked at the speaker.
It was a very young and handsome Asian young man, dressed impeccably. From Strange's professional eye in the past, the price of his outfit alone was at least over one hundred thousand U.S. dollars.
And the watch inadvertently revealed on his hand, if Strange was not mistaken, was worth over 1 million U.S. dollars.
Don't ask him how he knew, because he used to own a watch of the same brand, though not as high-end, but still worth over three hundred thousand U.S. dollars!
Clearly,
This was a rich person, likely a second-generation wealthy individual.
After all, if he were a talented young man of this age, he would generally be well-known, and Strange didn't think he wouldn't have heard of him.
"Sir, this is our private matter, please do not interfere!"
Strange said to the person.
His original intention was not to involve innocent bystanders.
After all, although Mordo looked dispirited, precisely because of that, he would be even more dangerous in this state.
After all,
What was more dangerous than a madman with a weapon of mass destruction?
And Mordo was a madman with a weapon of mass destruction! He was now more insane than any madman, and Strange wouldn't be surprised by any crazy action he took.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for someone. Do you know a person named Stephen Strange?"
Rhodey asked with a smile.
That's right;
The young man who suddenly appeared and interrupted their conversation was Rhodey, who happened to be visiting Doctor Strange.
