Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

Mike then talked about his adoptive parents and his half-sister Heidi.

Skye said that because she had been raised by several foster families, she did not finish high school and therefore did not go to university, but she is very good at computer skills.

Mike talked about how he went through a typical public high school, then went to New Jersey City University, and is now a CPA in New York State.

"An accountant? Really?"

Skye looked surprised but also happy for Mike after hearing what he said: "I'm so happy for you, Kyle."

Mike smiled slightly and extended an invitation: "When you have time, you can go back to New York. I'll introduce you to Heidi. She's a very nice person, a really good one."

Aside from the fact that she liked to trick him out of money when he was little, and would beat him if he didn't give it to her, Heidi was actually a pretty good person.

At the very least, if it were a daughter from another family, seeing her parents adopt a son, she couldn't help but embarrass the adopted son; she would at least ignore him.

But Heidi didn't treat him that way; she treated him like a younger brother.

Well known.

An older sister might not necessarily beat her adopted son.

But he would definitely beat up his own younger brother at the slightest disagreement.

The most important thing.

Heidi never blamed him for her adoptive parents' deaths.

and so--

Heidi is really great.

Frankly speaking, if he were to have a girlfriend in this life, and she asked him who he would save if she and Heidi both fell into the water at the same time, his answer would definitely be without any hesitation.

Heidi.

You can have countless girlfriends.

But Heidi was his only family in this life.

Mike and Skye continued their conversation, each recounting the exciting moments they had experienced since leaving the foster home.

Inside the van.

Melinda May looked at Coulson, who had taken off his headset: "So, like in the Arctic, this is another accident?"

But one time it was an accident.

The second time was also an accident.

What a coincidence!

Coulson looked at Melinda May but did not give a definite answer: "He doesn't seem to be hiding anything, and his reasons are quite reasonable."

I came all the way from New York City to Las Vegas to see David Perse's magic show.

Because the magic show was postponed, we had to go to the desert at the last minute.

While the magic show tickets were not registered to anyone's name, the plane tickets were; Mike did indeed buy round-trip tickets in New York.

From this perspective, Mike was not lying.

He did come here specifically to see David Bosh's magic show, and then planned to return to New York City afterward.

but……

"Is it possible to get a video of that magic show?"

"No need to take it."

As Fitz spoke, he spun his laptop around: "Although there are no close-ups, there are wide shots online, but you have to pay to watch them. I just checked, and Mike is definitely in them."

As he spoke, Fitz paused the video and then zoomed in on Mike, who was sitting in the crowd, enjoying the magic show on stage just like everyone else.

Coulson stared at Mike in silence on the video feed.

Grant Ward frowned and said, "Coulson, didn't you say that you overheard the conversation between that mysterious man and Lena while you were on the operating table? Mike's voice doesn't sound like that mysterious man's."

Coulson looked at Grant: "At that time, my mind was in a mess, and I even doubted whether those conversations were my imagination."

Grant frowned upon hearing this.

"So what do we do now?"

"Save it for now."

"Save temporarily?"

"Ah."

Coulson nodded and looked at Melinda, Fitz, and Gemma, who were looking at him, and said, "We don't have any clues right now, but one thing is certain: the mysterious man who appeared in Centipede Town did not choose to kill me after killing Lena, so he may not have any good intentions towards us, but he certainly doesn't have any malicious intent."

Gemma and Fitz exchanged a glance and nodded after hearing Coulson's words.

Melinda May did not refute, but instead asked, "And what about this Mike?"

Coulson chuckled, "Isn't he Skye's friend? Let Skye chat for a bit."

Although he also felt that Mike's appearance was somewhat too coincidental.

But from beginning to end, there was no substantial evidence to prove anything, and this time the mysterious person did not kill him.

So regardless of whether Mike is the mysterious person or not, he shouldn't have any ill intentions towards them. In that case, Coulson felt that instead of continuing to speculate wildly, it would be better to put it aside for the time being and focus on other cases.

After all, there are countless mysterious events in this world.

S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't miss this one thing.

Skye and Mike didn't talk for long in the restaurant because Melinda May's voice came through their earpieces. So after exchanging phone numbers, they decided to say goodbye.

Mike drove Skye to the hotel and watched her get into the van.

The moment the van's door opened.

Mike saw a woman with a delicate face and fair skin waving at him from inside.

This must be Gemma Simmons.

Mike looked at the woman who greeted him, and thinking the same thing, he also reached out and greeted her in return.

soon.

The SHIELD van closed its doors, and then, in Mike's sight, the van, with Melinda May stepping on the gas, soon drove out of Mike's sight.

Once the van had disappeared from sight, Mike turned away and walked back into the hotel behind him.

Now that his business was done, it was time for him to return to New York City.

An hour later.

Mike had arrived at the airport, carrying his travel bag and the gift for Heidi in one hand. Just as he was about to board the plane and have his ticket checked, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

It was Heidi who called.

Mike answered the call with his other hand and put it to his ear.

"Hey, Heidi."

"..."

44. Mike, whose sexual orientation is questioned!

When Mike returned home from Las Vegas, Heidi was already home.

As usual, Heidi sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding her laptop, watching Mike enter the room.

Have you eaten yet?

Does the airplane meal count?

"Of course, for you."

As Heidi spoke, she put the computer aside and got up from the sofa: "After all, you're easy to take care of; just give you some food."

Mike looked at Heidi, who was comparing herself to a pet, laughed twice, and then handed her the gift bag.

Heidi took the gift, pulled out the gift box from the bag, opened it, raised an eyebrow, and looked up at Mike: "Playing cards?"

Yes.

The gift he picked out for Heidi in Las Vegas was a beautiful deck of cards.

But these are not ordinary playing cards.

Mike didn't say anything, but simply gestured for Heidi to continue dismantling.

Heidi glanced at Mike, unfolded the deck of cards in her hand, and after seeing the image on the cards, she realized: "Wanted Playing Cards?"

Yes.

Wanted playing cards: Each card features the portrait of a currently wanted criminal and the crime for which they are wanted.

Mike looked at Heidi and explained, "It suits you quite well, doesn't it?"

Heidi is a law enforcement officer, so giving her a wanted playing card is a way of catering to her tastes.

only……

"If I were really a federal agent, it would be quite suitable."

Heidi smiled and put the playing cards back into the gift box, then looked at Mike: "But I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are responsible for global covert security, not for such trivial matters."

Mike explained, "Hey, you're a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and I'm not. I don't know exactly what S.H.I.E.L.D. does."

Upon hearing this, Heidi thought for a moment, put the gift bag aside, and then opened her arms to hug Mike in front of her.

"The gift is very nice, I like it, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Mike smiled and hugged Heidi. After letting go, he looked at Heidi and said, "But if you tell me the specifics of your job, maybe next time I can buy a gift that really suits your taste."

Heidi laughed after hearing this, then glanced at Mike and said, "That was a good attempt, but it won't work, due to confidentiality regulations, Mike."

Mike, seeing that he hadn't managed to get any details about Heidi's job, wasn't discouraged. He made a gesture of surrender and said, "Then I'll try my best not to let you find out next time."

Heidi rolled her eyes at Mike and then walked barefoot toward the kitchen.
