The question of how to make Chaos Magic stronger truly stumped Harvey.
In the original timeline, aside from accumulating combat experience, every significant power-up for the Scarlet Witch required emotional stimulation.
For example, the deaths of Pietro and Vision caused Wanda to explode with even stronger Chaos Magic twice.
This meant that, aside from slowly growing in strength through normal study of Chaos Magic...
If she wanted to increase her strength quickly, Wanda would have to suffer a major blow.
But right now, Wanda was living a smooth and happy life, so her strength was actually improving very slowly.
After thinking for a while, Harvey couldn't possibly let Wanda suffer on purpose and deliberately strike her down.
So he could only state the normal method.
"Once we go back this time, I'll take a trip to Kamar-Taj to borrow ancient scrolls on Chaos Magic for you."
"I'll also find a witch who is proficient in Chaos Magic to be your teacher."
"As long as you study Chaos Magic properly, you'll be able to increase your strength."
Wanda didn't quite understand.
"Chaos Magic? And finding me a teacher? But I can't even learn Cho's magic. Do I really have magical talent?"
"Don't sell yourself short," Harvey comforted her. "Of course you have magical talent; it's just that your talent isn't suited for our system of magic."
"As a wielder of Chaos Magic, you are naturally gifted with extreme talent for it."
"So don't worry. Just focus on studying Chaos Magic diligently when the time comes."
Wanda said in realization, "So that's it. Darling, you seem to know my talent better than I do? Do you have the power of prophecy?"
Harvey had already anticipated that the women would guess his unreasonable prophetic abilities.
While studying at Hogwarts, he had frequently displayed miraculous foresight.
Like knowing many of Voldemort's secrets in advance, knowing in advance that Professor Snape was a spy hidden among the Death Eaters...
And knowing beforehand that the Battle of New York would happen in the Marvel world.
Hermione and the others had actually harbored suspicions long ago, but they hadn't exposed him out of trust.
Now, facing the probing Wanda...
Harvey could only try his best to brush it off.
"When your strength reaches Skyfather-level, you can unintentionally see fragments of the future. It's basically half a precognition ability."
Wanda was just about to ask in detail what Skyfather-level meant when the sirens of police cars approaching from the distance could be heard outside.
"Let's get out of here first."
Harvey wrapped his arm around Wanda's slender waist and Apparated away.
They arrived on a street two blocks away.
"Alright, take your time tracking down The Hand. I'm off to London."
He gave Wanda a kiss on her exquisite cheek, and under her resentful gaze, Harvey bid a reluctant farewell and left.
He cast Apparition again, arriving at the Yashida Corporation headquarters in Tokyo's Chuo Ward.
Inside the brightly lit building, there was a faint, tense atmosphere.
Ever since Mariko brought out a will intending to "legally" inherit the entire corporation, the strife had begun.
The high-level executives and the board of directors firmly refused to recognize the legality of the will.
After all, a woman's status in Japan was extremely low; no one was willing to take orders from a woman.
Therefore, Mariko could only launch a massive purge of the board and the executives.
She transferred most of the high-level executives from their current positions, replacing them with her own confidants, and used death threats and high-pressure tactics against the board members.
She forcibly took over the entire Yashida Corporation.
So, the employees throughout the building were currently in a state of panic, and the tense atmosphere lasted into the night.
Harvey discovered in the receptionist's memories that Mariko was currently in the Chairman's office handling the corporate handover.
He took the elevator to the top floor of the building.
The door to the Chairman's office opened automatically with a clack.
The busy Mariko and Yukio, who was sitting on the office sofa, both looked up warily at the same time.
"What are you doing here? Is everything settled with Grandfather?" Mariko asked with a grave tone as she relaxed.
Harvey nodded and sat on the sofa, unceremoniously wrapping his arm around Yukio's fragrant shoulder, saying:
"Logan took care of that old guy. You don't need to worry."
Yukio wasn't used to intimate contact with a man she'd only known for a day and tried to slap the hand off her shoulder with a cold face.
But the moment they made contact...
Her precognitive ability was suddenly triggered.
Dreamlike, miraculous images appeared one after another.
Previously, her precognition was hit-or-miss; even if she predicted the future, it was only in disconnected fragments.
It had never happened like this before—predicting a continuous sequence of the future.
A massive stream of mysterious information flooded her mind.
Ultimately, Yukio's consciousness was overwhelmed, and she collapsed straight into Harvey's arms.
Mariko, who cared deeply for her childhood best friend Yukio, immediately walked over upon seeing this.
"Yukio? What's wrong?"
Seeing that Yukio had fallen into a coma, Mariko cast a suspicious gaze at Harvey: "This wasn't your doing, was it?"
Harvey cast Rennervate while saying with a face full of innocence: "It wasn't me. Maybe she's just too tired."
Mariko was half-convinced, and fortunately, the spell took effect quickly.
Yukio groggily woke up and found herself pillowed on Harvey's lap; she hurriedly propped herself up in embarrassment and sat back in a corner of the sofa.
Mariko asked with concern: "Yukio, are you alright?"
"Thank you for the concern, I'm fine. I just unintentionally triggered my ability, which is why I passed out."
When Yukio replied, she kept staring at Harvey with a complex gaze.
Harvey, feeling his hair stand on end from the stare, asked curiously: "What ability did you trigger? Did you predict the future?"
Mariko sat down next to Harvey, intending to listen seriously to Yukio's narration.
Yukio organized her words and spoke slowly: "I saw that in the future, a mysterious alien space appears in London."
"Dark energy flows everywhere in that space, along with many strange gravitational fields and space-time distortion phenomena."
"Immediately after, a strange woman stumbles into the alien space, and then, Harvey follows her in."
This sounded a bit strange. Mariko naturally looked at Harvey and said rather resentfully: "Do you mean you're going to set your sights on another woman in the future?"
Harvey furrowed his brows tightly and didn't reply.
Wasn't this the scene of the Aether appearing when the Nine Realms align during the Convergence?
Yukio helped answer.
"No, Harvey shouldn't know that strange woman."
"Because in the final images of the future, only Harvey escapes alone from the collapsing alien space; that strange woman most likely died in there."
Mariko asked with partial understanding: "So what does this future signify?"
Yukio shook her head and said with an uncertain tone: "There was a puddle of red, sludge-like liquid in the alien space; it gave me a very special feeling."
"Perhaps it's some kind of precious divine object?"
One had to admit, Yukio's sixth sense was sharp; she could actually guess the importance of that red liquid based on intuition alone.
Harvey said with a serious expression: "Don't let your imaginations run wild. Even if it's a treasure, it won't be your turn to have it."
"Mariko, hurry up and continue with the corporate handover. I'm taking Yukio out for a talk."
With that, Harvey Apparated away with the cold Sakura girl, vanishing from the office.
