Chapter 170 Skye's Refreshing Perspectives

"Is that so?" Crystal was still reeling from the aftermath of the incident, and her voice was soft.

Carl looked at the Crystal Princess's silly and innocent appearance and couldn't help feeling guilty.

He pulled up his pants by himself and didn't recognize anyone.

Isn't that too beastly?
This naive guy actually believed this casual explanation?

At this time, Carl looked at the time on the holographic watch and noticed that it was almost night time in North America on Earth.

"Ahem, it's getting late, Princess. Our relationship must be kept secret. You must not let anything slip."

"It's best not to have any unexpected factors happen at this critical juncture. If things go as they should, Ronan will be driven away in disgrace. Just relax and wait."

"Okay." Her crystal-clear eyes were so tired that she could hardly open them. She waved to the twin maids at the door of the side hall.

"Honey, let's go back to the bedroom and rest."

At the entrance of the side hall, the two sisters Sally, who had been keeping their heads down and ignoring the conversation between the two men, quickly took action after hearing the order.

Enduring the discomfort, the two pretty maids worked together to lift the beach chair and prepared to take the princess back to the bedroom to rest.

Seeing this, Karl hurriedly said, "Uh, Princess, I won't accompany you anymore. Let Tetanus take me back to Earth. I'll come to accompany you when I have time in the future."

Hearing that Karl would come again in the future, the two pretty maids who were used as tools to vent their sexual desire and were almost broken, trembled with fear at the same time as they understood each other's thoughts.

As this happened, the carried Crystal frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Hmph, if you have the guts, just walk away by yourself!"

Wow. This girl is being arrogant?

Do you really think you'd be helpless without her help?
Carl silently followed the two maids who carried the Crystal Princess out of the side hall.

Tetanus, who had been waiting outside the side hall for several hours, hurried over and barked at Carl.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Carl, who had already made a plan, used his telekinesis to grab the two-meter-tall and five-meter-long Tetanus in front of him and threatened him with a stern face:
"Listen, Tetanus, you have been listening outside for so long, you should know what happened."

"If you don't want Crystal Princess to be tortured by me any longer, then send me back to Earth!"

When Crystal heard the threat, her pretty face flushed. The threat was clearly directed at tetanus, so why was she the one suffering?
Crystal sighed helplessly in her heart. She was also worried that Tetanus would teleport Carl to Black Bolt in anger. She had to comfort him:
"Tetanus, take him back to Earth. Be obedient and don't get mad."

Tetanus's wrinkled pug face made an aggrieved expression and he "woooooed" a few times at the Crystal Princess.

Crystal reached out and stroked Tetanus's smooth hair, and repeated:

“Good boy~ Karl is one of us, but his tone was a little rude, he didn’t mean it.”

Tetanus then growled at Carl reluctantly.

Crystal quickly explained: "It's to release you from your confinement. Tetanus has agreed to take you away."

Karl snorted in his heart. How tough did he think this dog could be?

If you don't listen, don't blame me for burning all its hair and turning Tetanus into a 'bald donkey'!
Then, Tetanus used his teleportation ability and disappeared into the palace corridor with Carl.

Seeing Karl leave, Crystal stopped pretending to be a lady and turned to the two maids with an angry look on her face and scolded:
"What's wrong with you two idiots? You can't even lift a chair? And you heard things you shouldn't have heard. You don't want to live anymore, right?"

The two pretty maids were so frightened that they quickly begged for forgiveness.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't hear anything just now."

Crystal clenched her fists and mobilized her fire elemental ability. A flame surrounded her slender wrists. Her beautiful eyes stared at the two maids, and she was considering whether to kill them to silence them.

But the two Sally sisters have served me for so long, and even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.

With this in mind, Crystal finally unclenched her fist, and the flames surrounding her wrist disappeared.

But she still warned with a serious face: "Remember not to let anything slip about what happened today, otherwise you know the consequences!"

"Understood! Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing my life!"

The two pretty maids were saved and hurriedly expressed their gratitude while quickening their pace to safely escort the princess back to her bedroom.

--------------

Eastern Time, 7 p.m.

Carl returned to the North American base safely.

With the Terrigen crystal obtained with "hard work", he learned from Red Queen that Skye was having dinner in the restaurant.

He walked towards the private dining room without stopping.

In the base's private dining room.

Gwen and Skye are sisters who get along best since they have similar experiences. They are talking at the dining table with their heads down.

At the table next to him, Wanda was questioning where Pietro had been fooling around during the day.
Karl walked quickly into the restaurant and greeted them with an apologetic look on his face.

"Sorry, I came back a little late because of something urgent today."

The girls responded casually.

Carl walked over and sat down next to the queen Wanda.

"Just remember to come back."

Wanda complained and considerately helped Carl put on a white napkin.

Karl ignored her complaints, picked up his knife and fork and started to work on the black pepper steak on the plate in front of him, while giving everyone a reminder. "Everyone should be careful when going out recently, the outside world is going to be uneasy again."

Hearing this, Pietro asked curiously: "Is there going to be another world crisis?"

"Last time he made us alert, a zombie crisis broke out. Every time my brother-in-law says this, nothing good happens."

Looking at her troublesome brother, Wanda said unhappily:
"Eat your meal. Since it's not safe outside, Pietro, you are not allowed to leave the base for the time being!"

Pietro's face immediately fell, and he said unconvincedly: "With my extreme speed, unless the earth explodes, there is nothing that can threaten me. Why don't you let me go for a walk?"

"You want to go for a walk?" Wanda tapped her brother on the head. "Don't think I don't know you want to hang out in the ruins of New York!"

Pietro covered his head with his hands, which was almost hit with a bump, with an embarrassed look on his face. He had to bury his head in his food in silence and did not dare to refute.

Carl found it a little funny. Pietro had dared to tease him before, but now he is frustrated.

At this time, Wanda's nose twitched slightly, and she wondered to herself, "This citrus scent." She suddenly turned her head and stared at Karl, questioning:

"Did you go out fooling around too? Why do you smell like a strange woman's perfume?"

"Uh," Karl touched his nose unnaturally and explained, "It should be the new Guerlain perfume that Skye uses. Honey, don't let your imagination run wild."

"Really?" Wanda withdrew her questioning gaze, but still had doubts in her heart.

At this time, Skye said silently: "I am not used to such high-end perfume."

"Huh?" Wanda immediately cast a suspicious look at Carl.

"Ahem. Is the weather today very cold?" Carl said to him.

Gwen complained: "Isn't it night time now? You are lying with your eyes open."

Carl turned and glared at Gwen. It seemed that he would have to enforce the family rules again tonight!

Gwen quickly lowered her head, poked a fork into the salad vegetables, and pretended to be dead and said nothing.

The awkward dinner atmosphere lasted for half an hour.

After dinner, Pietro was the first to leave the private restaurant with a depressed look on his face and went back to his room to play computer games.

Recently, a stand-alone game called "Black Myth: Wukong" was released and became popular on major online game platforms.

I can't leave the base recently, so Pietro is bored and plans to give it a try.

In the private dining room, only Carl and three resentful women were left.

Carl didn't want to see Wanda's murderous eyes again, so he decisively used his telekinesis to take out the Terrigen crystal from a plain wooden box.

Five one-foot-long Terrigen crystals were lined up in a row and placed quietly on the ground, attracting the attention of the three women.

"What is this?" Wanda was not in a hurry to criticize Carl, but wanted to see what tricks he could play.

Carl turned his gaze to Skye and explained, "This is the Terrigen crystal. It has the special function of stimulating the superpowers of Inhumans. It is prepared for Skye."

Skye was confused: "Prepared for me?"

Then, Carl gave a brief account of his experience in the lunar city of Attilan today.

Of course, the part about Crystal Princess was skipped.

After listening to Carl's story, Gwen was shocked and said:
"You mean, next there will be a trickster god named Loki leading the Chita aliens."

"What else? Ronan, the Accuser of the Kree Empire? Joining forces with the Inhumans to invade Earth?"

Karl nodded with a serious expression: “Yes, that’s why I asked you to be more vigilant in the next period of time.”

"This kind of alien invasion is likely to affect the entire Earth. Only the base will be safe at that time, so you should not go out unless necessary."

After hearing Carl's firm confirmation of the news, Wanda said with a worried look on her face:

"The Earth is truly plagued by disasters. Can we really handle this unprecedented enemy?"

Carl smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, by then it will be the Avengers who claim to be the saviors who will consider how to deal with it."

"Let's just be a quiet audience and watch the show. Even if the earth is destroyed, I have a way to take you to live in the universe."

"Besides, the strength of the Earth itself is not as simple as you see on the surface."

"There are many hidden forces. Once they come forward, a no-name god like Loki will not be able to take them seriously."

Hearing this, Wanda said thoughtfully: "You mean the bald female wizard in monk robes who I met before?"

Carl nodded and said, "Yes, her name is Ancient One, she is the leader of the magic holy land Kamar-Taj, and she is also a father-level strongman at the same level as me."

I heard that the Ancient One, whom I had met before, was as powerful as Carl.

Wanda felt relieved immediately.

There are such hidden strongmen on Earth, plus Carol from the Avengers, it seems that she really doesn't have to worry too much.

Gwen was confused and asked, "The God of Trickery and the Holy Land of Magic are real? And there are wizards on Earth?"

Skye has lived as an ordinary person for 19 years. Although he knows the existence of superheroes, this is the first time he has heard of the legendary god of trickery Loki and magicians.

This directly refreshed her three views.
