He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 264 I'm scared to death (First update)

"But I remember the Inhumans incident was supposed to happen two or three years later. Was it brought forward because of my influence?"

With a hint of doubt, Li Chuan used Phantom Shift to enter the interrogation room in the residential area.

So many things have changed because of his influence over the years: Thor fell in love with literature, Loki was banished to Earth and became a hoodlum, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra broke off relations prematurely, and even the Chitauri invasion happened several years earlier than planned.

The butterfly effect has long since disappeared, so the fact that the Inhumans launched their plan ahead of schedule doesn't seem so surprising anymore.

"Hello, I heard you're a fan of mine?"

Li Chuan smiled as he looked at the beautiful young woman of mixed Chinese and American heritage in front of him.

Skye's mother, Jiaying, is Chinese, and her father, Carl, is American, so she is of mixed Chinese and American descent.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly why I did that—because I really like you. I didn't mean any harm, really!"

Skye, tied to a chair with thick rope, stared with her big, watery eyes, looking utterly pitiful.

"Please, please let go of me and let me leave. I promise I won't do it again."

She was originally an orphan. Because of her withdrawn personality, she always wanted to find her biological parents and was quite rebellious, so she was moved to different families multiple times when she was young.

Later, she simply ran away from the family that had adopted her and chose to live on her own.

During this time, she also met her boyfriend Miles, a skilled hacker and a member of the Rising Tide organization.

Rising Tide is a non-profit organization comprised entirely of hackers from around the world. Their mission is to uncover secrets hidden by governments and expose them to the public.

Because they believe that citizens have the right to know about everything in the world, and that the government has no right to hide those secrets.

Under Miles's guidance, the exceptionally talented Skye became a top hacker even more skilled than Miles. Through her hacking abilities, she discovered that her past was connected to an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D.

So he has been using his hacking skills to try to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.'s systems.

A few days ago, she finally intercepted some files from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system. Among these files was the real information and home address of the superhero Dark Wizard, who single-handedly wiped out the entire alien fleet during last year's alien invasion of Earth.

Out of curiosity and driven by her belief as a member of the Rising Tide organization, she secretly drove to the vicinity of her neighborhood.

Last year's alien invasion of New York shocked the world and made many people aware of the existence of Earth's superheroes, but the government did not explain why aliens would invade.

They withheld all information from the general public, consistently stating that they were conducting an investigation.

Skye wanted to obtain this hidden information and make it public, and she believed that the Dark Wizard Li Chuan must know the secret.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of surveillance, he was forcibly taken away by the security guards in the community who looked like bodybuilders.

Moreover, they actually intended to torture her with those particularly cruel-looking instruments of torture, which terrified her so much that she quickly revealed some information to gain their trust.

"I heard you're alone, and you hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s systems out of curiosity to obtain some information about me?"

Li Chuan sat opposite Skye.

Skye nodded quickly:

"I'm just an enthusiast in this area, not a professional. The successful intrusion was an accident, an accident."

"For an enthusiast to be able to break through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system defenses, you're really quite impressive!"

Li Chuan smiled and gave Skye a thumbs up.

"I thought you were a member of some kind of 'Tide Rising' organization, but it turns out you're not."

"What Tide Organization? I've never heard of it. I'm just a computer enthusiast."

Skye stiffened upon hearing this, and gave an awkward smile.

Li Chuan didn't expose her, but pointed to the rope binding her:

"Strength has slackened!"

The thick rope immediately loosened and fell down.

The "Disintegration Spell" is a spell that can automatically loosen ropes, chains, and other bindings. It can also be used on people to make them lose all their strength.

"That's amazing!"

Skye looked on with surprise as she watched Li Chuan cast his magic.

Although I've watched many videos online, seeing magic in real life for the first time is still a completely different experience.

"I admire your hacking skills. Would you be interested in working for me? The salary and benefits are excellent, and the working hours are flexible."

Li Chuan stood up and extended an invitation to Sky.

Skye was recruited not only because she was the future Quake, but more importantly because of her hacking skills. With a second-hand laptop she won in a bet, she was able to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database.

In terms of hacking skills, Skye should be among the best on the planet.

That's exactly the kind of talent he needs under his command.

Similarly, Skye would also be needed to find the Inhumans.

It had been so long that he only vaguely remembered that the Inhumans' current base was in a place called "Afterlife," nestled in a remote mountain.

Once a new Inhuman awakens their ancestral genes and gains superpowers, an Inhuman named Gordon within the base can sense it and then use his teleportation ability to bring them to the base.

At the same time, they are also searching for humans with superhuman genetic traits around the world, bringing them to the base, and queuing them up for screening to awaken their superpowers.

Skye's mother, Jia Ying, was chosen as the leader of this group of superhumans because she had awakened the supernatural ability of immortality and had lived for hundreds of years.

In other words, he did not know the exact location of the Inhumans' base.

"Um, can I refuse? I don't like working for others."

Skye replied cautiously.

Li Chuan shrugged:

"Of course, I never force anyone. If you don't want to, you can leave now. Just remember not to take pictures of my wife again next time, even though she's very beautiful."

"Really? Then I'm leaving."

Skye was somewhat incredulous that Li Chuan had let her go so easily, and tentatively walked towards the door.

Li Chuan smiled and gestured for them to proceed, without stopping them.

Seeing that no one was stopping her from leaving, Skye immediately quickened her pace and rushed out of the torture chamber, then returned to her wrecked bread cart as fast as she could.

"That scared the hell out of me!"

After catching her breath, and seeing that no one was chasing her, she stepped on the gas and drove away.

At first glance, she thought she was going to die today.

"Boss, are we just going to let her go like that?"

In front of the monitor in the interrogation room, Li San watched the bread truck speed away, a puzzled look on his face.

He thought Li Chuan was setting a trap, letting the girl go first and then sending them to follow her and find the organization behind her. Little did he know that Li Chuan would actually let her go.

"Of course it's not that simple."

Li Chuan smiled, reached for his phone, and dialed a number:

"Is this Coulson? A girl named Skye hacked into your system, found my information, and her license plate number is..."
