Seeing Wanda's eager look, it was clear she had already forgotten their previous bickering.
Harvey nodded in satisfaction; when you can't resolve a conflict, the best thing to do is redirect it.
"We'll head to Japan right after lunch. Once we deal with The Hand, we can stay for a few days to tour around."
Hearing that she could finally go out for some fresh air, Hermione was moved.
Since her parents had moved to the New World, her only attachment to the Harry Potter world was a sense of nostalgia for her hometown.
Coupled with the fact that wizards who master magic naturally yearn for novelty.
Hermione had a very strong desire to explore the diverse Marvel Universe, with its superhumans, gods, and high technology.
Therefore, she also put on a look of great interest.
"Count me in for the trip to Japan."
"I haven't seen a legendary hell demon yet. If I can catch one, maybe I can research something new."
Hearing that Hermione wanted to go, Wanda felt a bit displeased.
After all, Hermione's status among the three women was the highest. Having the "principal wife" along for the trip would always make the "concubines" feel uneasy.
But Wanda had no reason to stop her, so she could only continue eating with her head down.
After finishing lunch, Harvey opened a portal and took the three women to Tokyo, Japan.
As the capital of Japan, Tokyo has a population of 14 million, and its most bustling commercial and entertainment center is Shinjuku.
Harvey and the others arrived on the streets of Shinjuku, surrounded by skyscrapers, numerous department stores, shopping malls, bars, and Kabukichō.
The midday sun was scorching; it was clear that "Tokyo Heat" was no mere legend.
The group walked down Shinjuku Avenue, lined with famous department stores like Takashimaya, Isetan, and Marui.
Along the bustling roadside, there were also many "Sakura girls" full of youthful energy, wearing macaron-colored skirts.
"Where do we find The Hand?"
As Cho Chang asked, her eyes were glued to the trendy clothes in the brand stores along the street.
Every woman feels a mysterious pull toward beautiful clothing.
Wanda was even more unable to move her feet, staring straight at a sophisticated red chiffon dress displayed in a window.
Harvey initially thought Hermione wouldn't be so superficial, but when he turned his head...
She had already walked into a chain store called BEAMS, and he couldn't have pulled her back if he tried.
Hermione rarely came to the Marvel world. Unlike Wanda and Cho Chang, who had shopped on New York's Fifth Avenue so much they'd developed a resistance to high-end fashion.
So, seeing the beautiful dresses, she couldn't help but want to go on a shopping spree.
"We have business to attend to. Women are such a hassle," Harvey muttered under his breath.
Seeing the principal wife openly entering a brand store, an eager Wanda tentatively asked, "Darling, how about we go shopping first?"
Harvey sighed helplessly. If he dared say no, Cho Chang and Wanda would probably accuse him of favoritism.
"Fine. But I'm not going to be your heartless credit card machine. If you like shopping, go ahead."
"I need to go find clues about The Hand."
Gaining approval for their actions, Cho Chang and Wanda shouted "Awesome!" with faces full of excitement. Then, like inseparable sisters, they walked hand-in-hand into a brand store.
Judging by their excitement, they probably wouldn't get tired even if they shopped for a day and a night. Harvey shook his head and walked down Shinjuku Avenue alone.
Given the strength of the three women, there was absolutely no need to worry about their safety.
So Harvey walked forward alone with a peaceful mind.
For a global criminal organization like The Hand, with Tokyo as their headquarters, their range of activity wouldn't be small. They shouldn't be too hard to find.
Harvey specifically looked for a bar named Shinjuku.
Since it was daytime, there were few customers in the bar, with only a few people in the scattered booths.
In the central dance floor, there were only a dozen or so young men and women dancing to soft, melodious music.
Usually, these 24-hour bars are more exciting at night, playing trendy and explosive electronic dance music.
During the day, they play slow-tempo music, suitable for guests who like a cozy atmosphere.
With a thought, Harvey used Transfiguration to turn his wizard robes into simple casual wear.
Then he deactivated his Disillusionment Charm, walked up to the bar, and ordered a drink.
"A martini, please!"
The female bartender behind the counter wore a white linen shirt and an A-line leather pencil skirt, and she had a seductive, fox-like face.
Hearing the guest's call, the bartender, who was wiping a glass, hurriedly bowed in apology: "Sumimasen..."
Due to the language barrier, Harvey only understood the first half.
But for a bartender in a metropolitan bar like this, knowing English is a basic requirement. She quickly mixed a drink as requested and pushed it in front of Harvey.
Harvey casually took a sip, staring at the female bartender with malicious intent, wondering if he should use the Imperius Curse to ask for clues about The Hand.
But he was worried that if she spoke entirely in Japanese, he might not understand her.
So Harvey patiently asked, "Hey, do you know about The Hand?"
The female bartender blushed slightly under the gaze of this handsome guest, and her English seemed limited to daily conversation.
She didn't understand what "The Hand" meant at all and only kept bowing in apology.
"Sorry..."
Losing his patience, Harvey reached out with his mental magic and cast Legilimens.
"Tsk tsk, this Sakura girl plays quite wildly. She's actually got a vibrator inside her, put there by her sugar daddy. No wonder she's blushing..."
After searching through the bartender's memories, he found no clues about The Hand.
Disappointed, Harvey was just about to turn and leave to look elsewhere.
Just then, a cold woman in a form-fitting black leather suit with a red ponytail walked into the bar, accompanied by a weathered man with a face full of stubble.
In a place like a bar, there are many guests who like to wear cosplay or uniforms.
But a cold woman with a katana on her back and a weary man with a face full of stories still drew the gaze of most patrons.
Harvey recognized them at a glance as the precognitive and physically powerful X-Men member Yukio and Wolverine, Logan.
"At this point in time, have I happened to run into the plot of The Wolverine?"
The original plot wasn't anything special: a villain coveting Wolverine's immortality, a series of narrow escapes, and the protagonist ultimately defeating him. It was a cliché story.
It's worth mentioning that the villain's daughter, Mariko, eventually backstabbed her own biological father and fell in love with Wolverine.
This was very consistent with the Japanese character of disregarding family and having a penchant for betrayal.
Harvey didn't intend to get involved in this and ignored the two, wanting to leave the bar.
But after Logan's gaze landed on Harvey, his expression changed drastically: "What are you doing here?"
Logan had just arrived in Tokyo, preparing to see the terminally ill Yashida for the last time.
But ever since Jean died, he had been drinking heavily every day, so he had clamored to have a drink the moment he got off the plane.
He never expected to encounter a figure here that even Professor X was wary of.
Harvey had no interest in dealing with Logan and tried to walk past him.
However, Yukio didn't know Harvey's background. Thinking he was Logan's enemy, she drew her katana with a shink and blocked his path.
