A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 61 Interviewing Jessica

"Welcome to the Alliance, Jessica! I am Victor Lee, the head of the Alliance." The next day, in the reception room of the Alliance headquarters, Lee greeted Jessica Jones, who had come with Natasha.

Just like Levi and his team, Natasha's recruitment of Jessica Jones went very smoothly.

After a day of deliberation, Jessica Jones tore open the recall scroll left behind by Natasha and went to the Alliance headquarters.

“Um… Hello, Mr. Li.” Without the torment of Kilgrave, Jessica was still just a shy college student. She seemed quite reserved in the unfamiliar environment of the Alliance headquarters, completely unlike the unrestrained and carefree persona she portrayed in the series—well, literally.

"Don't be so nervous. In the alliance, we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship in the strictest sense. It's more of a cooperative relationship among friends. Just relax!" Li Wei comforted him.

Hearing what Li Wei said, Jessica nodded and relaxed a little.

If possible, Li Wei would certainly like to turn the alliance into an organization entirely headed by him.

However, he knew very well that it was impossible to succeed unless he brainwashed every single member who joined.

Because all the superheroes, including Tony, have their own style of doing things and their own bottom lines.

It is simply impossible to force these people to obey one person's orders.

Even the Black Widows, steeped in the hierarchy, are no different—they are only willing to accept Tony and Levi's employment if it doesn't go against their will.

They forcibly brought everyone together and commanded them in a coercive manner.

The numerous civil wars between the Justice League and the Avengers are the result.

Therefore, in most cases, Li Wei can only use "justice," "cooperation," "friendship," and money as well as other entanglements to win over these people.

Then set them a common target to deal with—such as aliens or Thanos.

If there's anything that truly requires personal gain, then Frank and the Winter Soldier should handle it, or Levi should do it himself.

Moreover, Li Wei was very particular about the people he recruited.

That means the "Holy Mother Party" is absolutely unacceptable.

Unfortunately, Daredevil and Iron Fist in The Defenders both have a strong tendency to be overly compassionate.

For example, Levi instructed Melina and Frank to administer the torture of the Purple Man, including the punishment of death by a thousand cuts.

If someone studies law to the point of madness, and becomes a daredevil adhering to the "no killing" principle, they'd probably just start causing trouble.

Levi wouldn't comment on how well Danny Iron Fist learned other things at Kunlun, but he certainly mastered Indecisiveness perfectly.

Therefore, Li Wei immediately excluded these two from his recruitment targets.

In addition, the same applies to the future mischievous Spider-Man.

As for Luke Cage?

Li Wei could only apologize; he didn't like the color black!

He didn't actually hate black that much, but the politically correct things he did in his past life made him start to hate black.

While Jessica Jones also has a bit of a saintly tendency in the original storyline, her situation is somewhat different.

Her saintly status stemmed from the Purple Man's control over her.

Under the control of the Purple Man, she became more than just a firearm; she became a real weapon.

The purple-haired man controlled her, causing her to kill many ordinary people, some of whom were her friends. This resulted in Jessica developing PTSD related to the killings.

This kind of experience is unimaginable for a girl like Jessica.

Even Li Wei himself felt a chill when he thought about it.

But the situation is different now; Jessica hasn't suffered that terrible ordeal yet.

In addition, her potential ability to fly (which has not yet been developed) is indeed a very rare ability.

That's why Li Wei asked Natasha to try to recruit him.

Of course, recruiting is one thing, but whether or not they are actually brought into the alliance is another.

We still have to wait and see what happens in this interview!
“I think Natasha has already given you a general overview of why we formed an alliance. Do you have any further questions?” Levi asked.

"No... but do aliens really exist?" Jessica was starting to think that this kind of thing was a bit of a fantasy.

She hasn't had time to master her abilities for very long, and the idea of ​​becoming a superhero only came to her after graduating last year.

Before she could even get her fill of being a street hero, Natasha came knocking on her door, asking her to join her in saving the world against aliens who might invade at any moment. That's quite a leap.

However, deep down, she was still looking forward to it.

Because she finally realized that she wasn't the only special one in this world.

The emergence of the "Alliance" gave her a sense of belonging—as a girl with a dream of becoming a superhero, her interests were different from those of ordinary girls since childhood.

Other girls like Barbie dolls, but she likes superheroes.

“Yes, there are. However, the matter of aliens is of great importance, so I can’t prove too much to you in the short term. But as for matters related to supervillains, you’ll be able to get in touch with them once you become a full member of our team,” Li Wei said with a slight smile.

"So, I can't become one of you right away, is that right?" Jessica was quite clever and immediately understood Levi's meaning. "Do I need to demonstrate my abilities?"

"No, we actually have a full understanding of your abilities. What we need to do next is assess your psychological resilience. Don't worry, it's just a very small test!" Li Wei explained.

“Go ahead and say it, I’m ready!” Jessica immediately straightened her back upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Li Wei raised an eyebrow. Although the girl's surname was "Poor," she was actually quite wealthy for her young age.

It even has an airport.

“It’s very simple, take a look at this case file!” Li Wei didn’t waste any words and directly placed the Purple Man’s case file in front of Jessica.

Jessica, who was also puzzled, immediately started flipping through the pages.

"Damn it, where is that bastard? I'm going to chop him into ten pieces!!!" After flipping through less than a third of the pages, a furious Jessica slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and roared.

Besides her ability to fly, Jessica Jones' most remarkable ability is her incredible strength.

Although the table in the reception room was made of high-strength granite, it couldn't withstand her immense force.

With a loud crash, the expensive granite table was reduced to a pile of rubble.

Frank, Natasha, and Melina rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just the contents of the case file..." Upon seeing this, Jessica immediately realized that she had made a mistake.

"It's okay, it's just that you need to practice your emotional control more in the future!" Li Wei calmly dusted off his clothes and said, "Being angry because of evil is not a bad thing. The key is whether you can make up your mind to get rid of evil after you are angry. So if Kilgrave were in front of you, would you really chop him into ten pieces as you said you would?"
