Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

But she was indeed tempted by Mark's invitation.

On one hand, it was out of kindness that she wanted to stay and help these children; on the other hand, she had a strange fondness for Mark.

After hesitating for a moment, Skye nodded: "Okay, but I'll probably only come back to stay at night. I have things to do during the day."

She's busy searching for her biological parents and can't stay home all the time.

Mark said happily, "That's great! I'll go tidy up your room right away."

Skye called out to Mark, who was about to tidy up the room: "Wait, you haven't told us how much the rent is yet."

Mark smiled and said, "No need for rent. From now on, you'll be our team's technical advisor. We'll need your help with any cybersecurity issues in the future."

Skye hesitated; she didn't want to take advantage of the children.

Mark guessed what the other person was thinking, so he quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, we really don't need the money."

At Mark's repeated insistence, Skye finally decided to stay.

After finishing his meal, Skye habitually took out his laptop and started typing.

Skye, who was typing on the keyboard, suddenly shouted, "Mark! Come here for a second!"

Hearing the shouts, Mark rushed out of the room.

"Look at this." Skye placed the computer in front of Mark.

Mark frowned slightly and guessed, "This is... some kind of signal transmitter?"

"To be precise, it should be the signal emitted by the bugging device." Skye said, then put down the computer and began searching the room.

20 minute later.

Three miniature listening devices were placed on a small table.

Mark stared at the listening devices in front of him with a dark expression and asked, "Skye, do you know when these listening devices were placed here?"

"Wait a minute," Skye said, then went back to working on the computer.

Skye looked at the date on the computer screen and asked in surprise, "It's today? Someone came here today?"

mark:"……"

Hey!

S.H.I.E.L.D. is a piece of shit!

This is a Sharon Carter wallpaper!

It's already so obvious; if he still can't guess the killer, then he has a problem with his intelligence.

He had initially thought it was Old Dog who installed the bugging device out of professional habit, but it turned out the culprit was Sharon Carter.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

It fits his stereotypical image of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent perfectly.

Meanwhile, in another room.

Hearing the busy tone in her headset, Sharon Carter put down her headphones with a dark expression. She hadn't expected her plan to fail before it even began.

"It's not my fault, I was too hasty! I shouldn't have planted the listening device," Sharon Carter muttered to herself, puzzled.

Her impression of Mark has probably dropped to negative points now. In this situation, let alone guiding him, it will probably be difficult for her to even make friends.

"What should I do! You're so dense! Think of something!" Sharon Carter gently pounded her head, forcing herself to find a solution.

Meanwhile, Mindy, upon discovering that someone had planted a listening device in her house, immediately pulled out her weapon and declared aggressively, "I'm going to take care of that woman! I knew she was up to no good!"

"Forget it, if that woman were smart, she would have run away by now." Mark stopped Mindy, who was about to go and cause trouble for Sharon Carter.

Sharon Carter is a top-tier agent, and her combat capabilities are not something Mindy can easily match.

If the two sides were to actually fight, the outcome would most likely be 70/30, with Mindy's side at 30%.

If Jessica Jones were here, she would definitely flip the table and lead her squad to a new location.

Mark said helplessly, "Skye, it seems we'll have to trouble you to find us a new place to stay."

Skye smiled confidently and said, "No problem, leave it to me. A web crawler will suffice. Tell me your requirements."

Mark said, "First, it's big enough; second, it's safe enough; and finally, the community's identity checks aren't strict, since our identities are fake."

A moment later, Skye pushed the computer in front of Mark again: "Take a look at these places, see which one meets your requirements."

Mark also picked up the mouse and started filtering.

Mark quickly settled on two preferred new places to stay. The first one he was quite satisfied with was a manor house near Madison Square Garden.

The advantage is that it's big enough; the disadvantage is that this estate is only for sale, not for rent.

Another place I really like is the large flat near Midtown High School. It doesn't have any obvious advantages, but it also doesn't have any obvious disadvantages.

After hesitating for a moment, Mark chose the latter.

The gold he brought from Lolita Island wasn't enough to support him in taking over that manor, especially since the manor was located in Hell's Kitchen, a place with terrible security and not suitable for them to live in now.

Being a man of action, Mark took Skye and Mindy straight to the real estate agency for the house.

They hired a moving company, and it took them about four hours to complete the move.

Mark had no intention of hiding it from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s spies. They were just a bunch of kids with no powerful backing, so it was impossible for them to move and hide under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s noses.

night.

Mark lay on the sofa, puzzled that he was being forced to move after only one day.

"Single-minded, stuck at both ends!" Mark lamented to himself.

However, the only advantage is...

Mark opened the system panel, and for some reason, the system progress bar had already jumped to 5%.

A system where the effect is reversed to the cause.

Final Result Template - The Mastermind Behind the Scenes (Progress 5%)

You have acquired one "Causal Ability" – a Basic Villain Aura (Effect: Increases loyalty and favorability towards immature and weak-willed subordinates), and Villainous Whispers (Effect: Increases persuasiveness towards immature and weak-willed subordinates).

Newly acquired ability - Extraordinary Power Acquisition Clue, Intermediate Villain Aura (Effect: Increases the loyalty and favorability of ambitious individuals and those with evil hearts towards the host, and grants a certain luck bonus.)

Is Esther evil at heart?

That was Mark's first thought, but he quickly put her out of his mind.

Given all this, who would want Esther anymore? Wouldn't it be better to use that ability to persuade those politicians?

Which American politician these days doesn't have some ambition? This ultimate villain aura is simply a powerful tool for reaping villainous rewards.

Moreover, the Marvel Universe has no shortage of villains.

"It seems the shadow government plan can be implemented." Mark immediately overturned his previous idea.

With the mid-level villain aura, he can use it to deal with those old foxes, at least without worrying about being suddenly betrayed by those two-faced guys.

But this is the Marvel universe, and Mark cares more about superhuman power than power.

With extraordinary power within reach, Mark eagerly clicked on the clue that could grant him that power.
