Chapter 114

The next day.

Ana opened her eyes early in the morning.

She saw Carol embracing her and burying her head in her chest. Whenever Ana complained about it, Carol would deny doing it at all.

Removing Carol's arms that held her gently, Ana entered the bathroom to freshen up.

After a relaxing bath in the tub, Ana sat in front of the mirror and combed her long hair.

Once ready, she put on a black coat that reached just below her knees.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she nodded before descending the stairs quietly.

Ana was about to reach the last step when someone suddenly appeared in front of her and hugged her.Reêad latest novels at noov/e/l/bin(.)com

Smiling softly, Ana embraced Damian, whose head rested against her chest.

"Weren't you going to say goodbye to me?" Damian asked with a smile as he looked up at Ana.

"I didn't want to wake you up," Ana said, kissing Damian.

"I'm running late," Ana said, pinching Damian's cheeks playfully with a smile.

"Go," Damian said, giving her one last kiss before letting her pass.

"Have fun," Damian said, playfully giving Ana a spank as she walked by.

Ana looked at him flirtatiously before heading out.

When she reached the garage, she quickly chose the Audi R8 before speeding off.

Carol had modified that car in her free time and added some non-Earthly features to it.

Ana reached the highway and accelerated, reaching speeds of 200 mph.

About an hour later, Ana arrived in Washington. After checking the address, she made her way to the courthouse where Tony's case was being held.

Climbing the stairs, Ana idly wondered what she would encounter.

....

"Mr. Stark, please," Senator Stern said as he banged the gavel.

"Yes, darling?" Tony quipped.

The senator tried to maintain his patience despite his face still showing annoyance.

"Is it true that you possess a specialized weapon?" Senator Stern asked, trying to make Tony slip up.

"Actually, I'm not allowed to speak until my lawyer arrives," Tony said, smiling faintly.

"I wasn't informed that you would bring a lawyer. I'm afraid we cannot allow you to enter. There are necessary security measures," Stern said, exchanging glances with his colleagues.

"Well, that would be a problem and could result in an international conflict," Tony acted as if it were a bad thing.

"You see, I invited Ana Alucard to be my lawyer. In fact, she obtained her degree in this country, so there shouldn't be a problem," Tony said, looking at Stern almost with a mocking smile.

As soon as the name Alucard was pronounced, Senator Stern and several court officials couldn't help but grimace.

"She should be arriving any moment now," Tony added, enjoying the constipated look on Stern's face.

At that moment, the door opened, and a woman in a black coat walked in.

Her hair swayed slightly as she walked, and her flawless face made her look like a goddess.

"Sorry for being late," Ana said with no hint of apology in her tone as she sat next to Tony.

"What were we discussing?" Ana asked directly.

There was a long silence before Senator Stern spoke.

"Our interest is for the Iron Man armor to be handed over to the country," the senator said.

"And what are you offering in return?" Ana asked, nodding.

"Offering?" The question from Ana momentarily stunned Stern as he looked at his colleagues with uncertainty.

"Of course, you want the technology, so unless you plan on taking it by force, you must offer something in return. I don't think you would do that because it would discourage anyone from inventing something, right?" Ana asked, leaving no room for doubt.

"Then we'll accept the proposal. Who will be designated as the pilot of the armor?" Stern asked with a disgruntled expression as he wrote on some documents.

"Colonel Rhodes could be a good option," Ana said, looking at the man without noticing Tony's slightly uncomfortable expression.

"Fine," Stern said, slightly more content. Rhodes was easy to handle.

"Well, I think that's all," Ana said, looking at Tony, who nodded in agreement.

Tony was prepared to fight for a long time, and the outcome was uncertain. Now he just had to rent armor, and they would stop bothering him.

Seeing that everything was settled, Ana said goodbye to Tony and Pepper before leaving the chamber. Once outside, she got into her car and drove back home.

Inside the chamber, everyone had already stood up, greeting Tony as he and Pepper exited.

Once they got rid of all the people, Tony and Pepper were finally alone in the car.

"Well, everything went well," Tony said, smiling at Pepper.

"You received help, or else you would have had problems for several months. All of that just to play the hero," Pepper complained with a smile.

"I think we should celebrate," Tony said mischievously.

"Hm, I don't know," Pepper said, looking at Tony with a playful smile as she evaded his hands.

The vehicle began to drive straight home, leaving behind all the reporters.

....

Damian was watching the news with a smile. It was interesting to see his beloved Ana on television with her expression of indifference.

"Mama looks very beautiful," Emma said, smiling happily as she saw her mother on TV.

"She's so full of herself. Look at that arrogant face," Carol whispered, laughing with Natasha and Ophelia.

"Yeah, she's coming home soon," Damian said, playing with Emma's hair.

When the part with Ana ended, the girls quickly got bored and went to play somewhere else.

"I'll go out for a while," Damian said, informing everyone before disappearing and reappearing in space.

Damian had been ready for a while to advance in his magic system; he just wanted to polish everything well so he could soon teach it to others.

Concentrating, Damian created a much larger magic circle this time. Unbeknownst to him, he spent several hours inscribing the runes.

Once the tire-sized magic circle was ready, Damian opened his eyes with a bit of astonishment.

His magic felt different, more compact. He truly didn't think this system could make him stronger.

Extending his hand, his three magic circles appeared. They looked very pleasing. At first, it was somewhat embarrassing to show such small magic circles.

Now he should be able to freely use conjuration, which is an advanced version of transmutation.

Conjuration is the ability to transform something from nothing, unlike transmutation, which requires an object to transform.

Damian began to play and test the limits, conjuring small things like toys, cars, and trucks. Aside from the ridiculously increased magic expenditure, there was no difficulty.

Smiling slightly as he looked at his magic circles, Damian was delighted to see his magic system taking shape.

Now he only had to teach it to his family, which would take a few days to prepare.

Damian returned home and was surprised to see that it was raining. He idly wondered how many hours had passed.

Searching the house, he realized that everyone was in the backyard. With some confusion, he approached them to see what they were doing.

Damian smiled faintly as he saw his daughters playing in the rain.

They had laid out plastic on the grass and were running before sliding on it.

Carol was playing with them, sometimes sliding herself.

"Daddy, play with us," Emma said, suddenly freezing and looking in his direction.

Everyone turned to Damian, who approached with a smile.

"Sure, sweetheart, let's play," Damian said, looking at his daughter.
