"That born evil seed!" Sharon Carter almost instinctively shifted the blame onto Emma.

After all, Emma was a beneficiary of Obadiah's adoption, even though she didn't know how Mark and the others got Obadiah to cooperate.

But she knew that Mark's methods were definitely not honorable, and might even involve extortion.

As an agent, Sharon Carter quickly figured out the reason.

Seeing that he couldn't hide the truth any longer, Mark simply nodded: "I want to find Emma a wealthy family, Obadiah would be a good fit."

Sharon Carter looked at Mark with a deep gaze, realizing a very serious problem: although Mark had Emma, ​​a born bad seed, by his side, the fact that Mark was able to control most of the American political arena in just five years was enough to show that his own nature was not pure and innocent.

"When you ran away from Lolita Island, did you also take the incriminating evidence that Epostdan had collected?" Sharon Carter asked.

Mark didn't answer, yet it seemed like he answered everything.

When Sharon Carter saw that Mark did not answer her question, her suspicions were confirmed.

When Mark and his team stormed out of Lolita Island, they indeed took some evidence of Apostdan's crimes with them. The question now is just how dark those documents Mark has are.

Forcing herself to calm down, Sharon Carter said in a gentle tone, "Mark, you have to understand that the world isn't black and white. There aren't as many bad people as you think. Some people may be bad, but there are still more good people in the world."

"Sister, I'm a special agent. I've seen a lot of the dark side of humanity, but I've also seen far more of the brilliance of humanity, like..."

Sharon Carter started giving Mark a pep talk, and Mark listened attentively. Emma, ​​who had sneaked out of the room, watched and grimaced.

Even the water sprite next to her shook her head speechlessly, then used her superpowers to make Sharon Carter ignore her.

Mark patiently listened to Sharon Carter's motivational speeches for a full two hours before finally getting rid of her.

Sharon Carter had barely left when Emma Watson struck again.

"Brother Mark, I hate that woman. She's so hypocritical."

mark:"……"

If we're talking about hypocrisy, who in this room can compare to you?

Mark was speechless for a moment, then reminded him, "Remember to put the hairdryer away after you're done drying your hair. Don't put it in the bathtub; it's dangerous."

"The water sprite told me that you've done this several times already, and I don't want it to happen again. Otherwise, I'll have to send you back to the orphanage."

Mark gave Emma a light tap.

Emma nodded nervously, feigning innocence, and said, "Yes, I understand. I won't be so careless in the future."

Mark nodded in satisfaction. Regardless of whether Emma listened or not, at least her attitude was quite good.

"Alright, go back to your room and do your homework." Mark dismissed Emma.

Emma nodded pitifully, then reluctantly returned to her room.

In the instant she turned her head, a fierce glint flashed in Emma's eyes, her expression failing to hold back.

"That damned water sprite, how dare she tattle! I'll remember this grudge." Emma decisively wrote this grudge down in her little notebook.

Given the chance, she would definitely find an opportunity to strike decisively and send this reclusive woman away.

Putting aside Emma's resentment for the moment, Mark is more concerned about the water sprite right now.

The main reason he dared to return to America was that the Water Sprite and Mindy gave him courage, but that was only one of the main reasons. The most important reason was that he had nowhere else to go besides New York.

Mindy grew up in New York, so it's impossible for him to follow her around everywhere. Although the Water Sprite doesn't know where she lives, if the Water Sprite had a destination in mind, he would definitely have clung to her.

But it's different now.

Now that he has the ability to protect himself, the water spirit is no longer so important.

If the water sprite is unwilling to listen to him, then the water sprite has little value, and if possible, he wants to send the water sprite away.

Because neither the water spirit nor the Eternals behind her could be controlled by him.

So Mark decided to confront the other party, or at least partially confront them.

Mark asked earnestly, "Water Sprite, you must be a superhuman, right?"

The water sprite nodded and asked casually, "You probably already guessed it, right?"

Mark nodded as well.

"When was it discovered?" the water sprite asked curiously.

Mark said, "Back when we went back to New York to the pawn shop, you must have used your superpowers to make everyone around you subconsciously ignore you."

The water sprite praised, "It seems you've been observing quite carefully, but why are you only saying it now?"

Mark confessed, "Because of Emma."

Hearing this, the water sprite asked in surprise, "You're so clever, don't you know her true nature?"

"I know." Mark nodded and continued to explain, "Emma may be born bad, but she's very intelligent and depends on me enough, so I don't mind how bad her nature might be."

"No! Actually, you're the worst one. Perhaps in your eyes, as long as you can use him, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad?" the water sprite said, as if she had seen right through Mark.

Mark didn't try to defend himself, simply admitting, "Yes, I'm not a good person."

When the water sprite saw that Mark actually admitted he wasn't a good person, she couldn't help but laugh.

"You're quite an interesting little guy. You suddenly confessed to me today because you're worried I'll hurt Emma, ​​right?"

Mark nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

The water sprite suddenly became serious and said earnestly, "Answer me a question, as it will determine my attitude towards you from now on."

"Please speak," Mark said, sitting up straight.

The water sprite asked, "Emma and I all ran away from that island with you, but why do you always exclude me? It's like I'm not one of your own."

Mark was speechless upon hearing this.

Don't you know why I treat you like an outsider? How close are Emma and Mindy to me? Can you compare to them?

Mark was speechless for a moment, pondering how to express his meaning tactfully without completely offending the other party.

After all, he couldn't very well say that Emma and the others were obedient, but Emma was disobedient, could he?

The problem is, every time he asks the water sprite to do something, the water sprite seems to cooperate.

Thinking about this, Mark hesitated for a moment.

The reason he was indifferent to the water spirit was quite simple: his villainous aura had no effect on the water spirit.

He believed more in his magic touch than in human nature.
