Game in Marvel-Chapter 120
Chapter 120 - 120
"Damn it all. Fine. I'll stay too. But if I hate it, I'm blaming you, Triss." Keira said with a frustrated sigh, and also looking at Liam who had opened his visor mask from the javelin.
Geralt gave a small nod, and looked like he was trying his best not to show his joy in Triss's decision.
"Well, that's all well and good, but Kaer Morhen is a temporary solution at best, from what Geralt had told us about that place. You need a real sanctuary—somewhere safe, somewhere secure. A place where witch hunters, kings, and armies won't be breathing down your necks." Natasha said as she looked at Liam who was just checking the drones that had been out.
These drones would warn him about incoming witch hunters, thus allowing Liam to have a better control of the battlefield. He didn't pay attention to the words of Geralt or others at the moment.
"And you can make that happen, can't you?" It was Steve who spoke while keeping his hand on Liam's shoulder.
"I am sorry, what are you talking about?" Liam asked as he was genuinely confused.
"I was saying that you can provide these two powerless women sanctuary." Natasha reiterated again.
"They are anything but helpless. All they need to do is kill the King or the Grand Order of the Church and they will shut up." Liam said.
"Heh. Been there. Done that. Only made those fanatics more crazy." Keira said. As they were talking one witch hunter was actually able to sneak in, only to be thrown the shield at him and return like a boomerang, knocking the man out cold.
"Than what do you want me to do?" Liam just gave his opinion which he thought was good, but then he remembered that many sorcerers were responsible for so many assassinations.
Vilgefortz, one of the greatest sorcerers of their time, had committed so much bloodshed in the name of experiments and his own free will, that by the end he had become a menace. But thankfully, Yen and Geralt took him down in a very hard fought battle. He too wanted to curb the hatred humans had for sorcerers or witchers, but it only fueled their anger and fanned the flames.
"We want you to help."
Liam was surprised that these people wanted his help and that included providing them a safe haven.
"My dear student, do you have a safe haven for us two hopeless women for us to take shelter and live our lives in peace?" Keira asked as she finally got the gist that Liam was the head of their group and his home might be the safest haven for them. Geralt understood it better though, as Yen had figured out their origins back in Vizima.
"Stop pretending." Liam croaked.
"Now let's move away from here. You don't want to the center of attention now." Steve said as he saw some windows opening on the far side of the port of some of the houses.

The group moved swiftly through the shadowed streets of Novigrad, careful to avoid drawing more attention. The city was still reeling from the chaos of their escape, and while the witch hunters had been left in disarray, it was only a matter of time before they regrouped and started searching for any remaining sorcerers.
They finally arrived at Triss's temporary hideout—a small, abandoned house tucked away in a lesser-traveled district. It was nothing remarkable, just another worn-down building amidst the countless others in Novigrad. But it had served its purpose well enough, keeping Triss hidden until now.
The place wasn't much, but it was the best she could manage while on the run.
As soon as the door was shut behind them, Triss let out a breath and turned to Liam.
"Alright. Now that we're safe—at least for now—explain what you meant earlier. You talk about a 'safe haven' like it's something you can just... make happen. What did you mean?"
Liam exhaled, weighing his words carefully. When the system had allowed him to bring living beings from the game worlds to reality, he didn't put much attention to it, nor he cared. His first thought was searching for druids in Kovir and then learn from there, while also going after the Aen Elle.
That was his plan. Learning from Keira or any other person wasn't in his plans. Definitely not Keira since she was a selfish woman to begin with who would do anything to reach her goal and also take her revenge. At first when Keira showed up, Liam thought of using her for his goals.
But once he got to know her, he realized that though she was selfish and was trying to learn the arcanist knowledge of armor, she never forced and Keira seemed to share everything she knew about alchemy to Liam.

This made him reevaluate Keira's personality. He knew that that she wasn't as good a person as Triss, but everyone was flawed to begin with. He could give them safe haven but he would also warn them of potential dangers.
Their world was anything normal. More abnormal then their current world.
"We aren't from this world," Liam said simply.
"What?"
"You mean... you're from a different land? Like Zerrikania? Or one of those far-off places beyond Nilfgaard's reach?" Keira said as she was always curious and thought Liam belonged to a far off land in the Continent.
"No. I mean another world. Another dimension entirely."
Triss narrowed her eyes, studying him for any sign of deception. She found none.
"Oh, come now. You can't be serious."
But Steve and Natasha weren't laughing. Neither was Geralt.
"Yeneffer figured out their origin soon after they had landed here." Geralt said.
"Yen knew? You knew? And you didn't think of mentioning it to me?" Triss was a bit fuming seeing her best friend, once lover, hide it from her. But it was not the time for lashing out.
Liam then went on to explain a brief of their arrival here and why Liam was hell bent on learning as their time was limited here. Now Keira could sense that Liam wasn't lying.
