Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Chapter 55 I'll Come Pick Up the Zhang Family

Five minutes later.

Skye walked into President Zu's office.

She wore a hoodie and carried her ever-present worn-out backpack, still looking like a homeless hacker living in a van, completely out of place here.

But her eyes revealed deep weariness and anxiety.

"What's wrong, our genius hacker?"

Wu Yanzu stood up, adopting the demeanor of a caring older brother, and walked to the bar. "Want a drink? I have some excellent bourbon."

"No."

Skye threw her backpack on the sofa, her voice hoarse, "I...I've hit a wall."

"Oh?" Ah Zu, holding his wine glass, leaned against the edge of the table. "In this world, is there any wall that can stop the 'rising tide'?"

Skye bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment. "I found it... I found a clue about my parents. A file from 1989, code 084."

"But more information is in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s core database, which is physically isolated... I can't access it."

Skye raised her head, her large eyes glistening with tears, and looked directly at Wu Yanzu.

"Anthony...you said you were after the truth. You said you would help me."

"I want to know who I am. I want to know if my parents...if they really abandoned me."

Wu Yanzu looked at her quietly.

Of course he knew who she was.

Daisy Jensen, Quake, an Inhuman.

To be honest, the Kree have really gone to great lengths for Earth.

Obelisks, Terrigen crystal, Kree temples.

They created all sorts of superpowered beings, including Captain Marvel.

Wu Yanzu was also extremely interested in this Terrigen crystal.

If Vought could control the Inhumans... then his territory would not be limited to Earth.

"You want to go in?" Wu Yanzu walked up to her, bent down slightly, and looked at her.

I dream about it.

"Then don't knock on the door from the outside." Wu Yanzu pointed out the window, in the direction of the S.H.I.E.L.D. triangular wing building. "If you want to break into the vault, the best way is not to bring explosives, but... to have the bank manager open the door for you personally."

Skye was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Trojan Horse, Skye."

Wu Yanzu's smile became meaningful.

"What does S.H.I.E.L.D. lack most right now? They're overwhelmed by your revelations and paranoid because of the Hydra mole. They need talent, especially a technically skilled genius with a clean record."

"You mean..." Skye's eyes widened, "that I...walk right into a trap?"

"This is called strategic infiltration."

Wu Yanzu straightened up and poured himself a glass of milk.

"Nick Fury is a suspicious old fox, but he's also a crazy guy who appreciates talent. If you were caught as the 'Tide' hacker, S.H.I.E.L.D. would most likely recruit you, even if they'd be wary of you, they'd feel more comfortable controlling you."

"Once you're inside that system, with its internal interfaces..."

Wu Yanzu pointed to Skye's head.

"...What firewall in this world can stop you?"

Skye's heart began to pound.

This is a crazy plan.

But that's S.H.I.E.L.D.! It's agents, assassins, and a super prison.

"What if... what if they don't play by the rules?" Skye's voice trembled slightly. "What if they think I'm too dangerous and decide to execute me? Or lock me up in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret prison?"

"After all... I've been digging into their underwear every day lately."

fear.

this is normal.

Wu Yanzu looked at the girl in front of him whose voice was trembling.

Right now, she's not the shattering, all-powerful Quake; she's just a wandering hacker yearning for the truth.

Skye.

Wu Yanzu suddenly reached out and grasped her cold hand.

That warm, powerful touch gradually calmed Skye's trembling body.

"Look at me."

Skye looked up and met those deep blue eyes, as blue as the sea.

Do you know who I am?

"You are...a Homelander."

"That's right." Wu Yanzu's lips curled into an arrogant and confident smile. "I am a citizen of the motherland. I am the most powerful creature on this planet."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has Helicopters and Quinjet fighters. But in my eyes..."

He chuckled lightly, his expression full of disdain.

"...They are nothing."

He gripped Skye's hand tightly, his voice low.

"If they dare to lay a finger on you."

"If they dare to put you in any of those cages."

"I will tear their Helicarrier apart and crush their Tri-Winged Towers. I will find you and bring you home."

"No one, no place, no wall on this earth can stop me."

"Did you understand?"

Om-!

Skye felt her mind go blank.

These words were domineering and arrogant, but also...so reassuring.

In this world filled with lies and conspiracies, there is a god on earth who has made a promise of "absolute protection" to himself.

Skye looked at Azu, her nose tingling slightly, and the fear in her eyes slowly subsided.

"...I understand." Skye took a deep breath, a bright smile spreading across her face. She hadn't smiled from the bottom of her heart in a long time. "Then you'd better keep your word, boss."

"I never break my word."

Wu Yanzu released his grip, took something out of the desk drawer, and gently put it on Skye's slender wrist.

It was a very ordinary-looking mechanical watch.

"What's this?" Skye touched the watch face.

"The insurance I got for you."

Wu Yanzu pointed to a small protrusion on the crown.

"This is a special product just delivered by Vought Labs, prepared for the Seven. It's not connected to the internet, has no electronic signal, and S.H.I.E.L.D. scanners will just treat it as an ordinary mechanical watch."

"However, if you turn this knob..."

Wu Yanzu pointed to his ear.

"It emits a special ultra-high frequency sound wave. Humans can't hear it, dogs can't hear it, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s instruments can't detect it."

"Only I can hear it."

He leaned down and whispered in Skye's ear.

"No matter where you are, as long as you call me... I will come and take you home."

Skye stroked the watch; the cold metal felt warm to the touch.

"Okay." Skye looked up, her eyes bright. "I'll go."

She's smart; she knows this isn't charity without a price. The Homelanders must have ulterior motives for helping her.

But it is not important.

The important thing is that she has someone backing her up.
