Chapter 268 Collapse of Faith (Second Update)

You should know that when she intercepted the Dark Wizard's information from S.H.I.E.L.D., Miles told her that the Dark Wizard was a hero who saved humanity, and that his Lee Corporation had helped many poor people.

Therefore, they cannot release Dark Wizard's information to the public, as this could pose a danger to him. Let her see if she can uncover any more information about what S.H.I.E.L.D. is hiding based on Dark Wizard's true identity.

It turned out that this wasn't the case at all; Miles was just trying to keep this important information so he could sell it at a high price.

Now, for money, he's willing to sell information about the Dark Wizard to his enemy, which is utterly shattering her faith.

"How can you guarantee that if I reveal the information, you'll let me take the money?"

Inside the room, Miles put the stack of banknotes into his briefcase, a cunning look in his eyes.

He was worried that if he revealed the information, the other party might renege on their debt.

Li San stood up and slammed his fist on the table, leaving a clear fist mark on the steel surface. He then replied in a cold tone:

"Our boss doesn't lack this money. You either tell me now and take the money and get out of here, or I'll send you to hell and go find your apprentice. I don't think she'll refuse so much money."

Miles stared at the fist mark on the table, swallowed hard, and then replied with a fawning expression:

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just joking. Of course I believe you. Besides, my apprentice is different from me. She's an idiot and believes in the organization's idiotic ideology. She won't take your money."

"Oh, it seems you're quite a smart person!"

Li San sat down again, a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Miles shrugged:

"I used to be like her, but then I realized that everything else in this world is bullshit, only money is the most important thing. Without money, you can't even afford to eat a good meal."

I risked so much to obtain the intelligence, and then I made it public. As a result, I was kicked out of a nice restaurant because I didn't have enough money.

Anyway, I've had enough.

He had barely finished speaking when the door was suddenly kicked open, and Skye stormed in, slapping him hard across the face and yelling at him with red eyes:

"You liar, you're dead! I'm telling you, you're dead!"

As she spoke, she kicked Miles between the legs.

An orphan who was moved around from one place to another since childhood, without a warm family or parental love, she was destined to be a girl who lacked love. So when she met Miles, who was a little nicer to her, she fell in love.

But the fact that she was able to escape her adoptive parents and live a nomadic life, and that she could drive around in a van to confront government agencies, proves that she is definitely not the kind of weak and delicate girl.

So once she realized she had been scammed, she didn't hold back at all.

"Skye, listen to me! It hurts!"

Miles was also taken aback when he saw Skye appear. He was slapped and was about to explain when he was kicked in the groin. He then clutched his groin and knelt on the ground.

"I'm not listening to your 'beep beep beep,' you son of a bitch, I'm going to 'beep beep beep' you!"

Skye unleashed a torrent of profanities while simultaneously punching and kicking Miles, who was kneeling on the ground.

Ten minutes later, Li Chuan handed Sky, who had calmed down, another drink.

"To judge whether a person is good or bad, do not listen to what they say, but look at what they do."

Many people talk a lot about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and lofty ideals, and they speak very nicely. They like to use these words to constrain others, but in reality, they do countless bad things in secret.

Some people may not have said anything, but they have saved the world and done many good deeds to help others. These are truly upright and good people.

Are you talking about yourself?

Skye, who was already in a low mood, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Li Chuan's words.

Li Chuan smiled:

"Oh, did I make it that obvious?"

"It's obvious."

Skye couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Thanks!"

Although it was a joke, she did agree with what Li Chuan had just said. Thinking about what Li Chuan had done and then about what Miles had done, there was really no comparison.

It was only then that she truly made up her mind to work diligently under Li Chuan's guidance.

"Miles."

She said she wanted to kill Miles, but after all, he was her former mentor and boyfriend.

"Don't worry, I erased all his memories of you and this place, and then handed him over to S.H.I.E.L.D. for disposal."

He was an insignificant nobody, not worth killing.

"Okay, now let's talk about your parents."

Li Chuan then steered the conversation to the main topic.

Hearing that it concerned her parents, Skye's attention returned to normal.

"Speaking of your parents, there's a lot to it. Let's start with the Kree who came to Earth 1,400 years ago."

So Li Chuan told the whole story about the origin of the superhumans, Skye's parents' identities, and Jia Ying's plan to start a war between superhumans and humans in order to seek revenge.

Skye was stunned, thinking she was listening to some outrageous science fiction story.

In the past, she wouldn't have believed it, but after experiencing last year's alien invasion, and given that it was said by the sorcerer Li Chuan, she had no choice but to believe it.

"So you want me to help you stop the Inhumans from going to war with humans?"

"Yes, but you don't need to do anything. Just wait for the obelisk to be delivered, then we'll take you to awaken your superpowers and wait for the people there to pick you up. I'll handle the rest."

Don't worry, I won't hurt them.

Li Chuan didn't hide anything from Skye and honestly revealed his plan.

For him, the Inhumans posed no threat whatsoever; the only difficulty was that he didn't know the exact location of his "afterlife."

Therefore, there is no possibility that he will go there and fail to reach an agreement, resulting in a chaotic fight. As long as he finds his position, the rest will be a one-sided crushing victory.

"Okay, if it's really as you say, I'll help you."

Having gone through what just happened, and considering Li Chuan's identity, Skye still trusts him quite a bit.

Moreover, having lived as an ordinary human for so many years, she naturally did not want her mother to lead the Inhumans into war against all of humanity.

Therefore, she agreed to Li Chuan's plan and was willing to awaken her supernatural abilities through the obelisk.

"In that case, let's wait for S.H.I.E.L.D. to deliver the obelisk. I don't think they'll be too late."

Li Chuan smiled, then Apparated back home.

Sure enough, compared to the information about Hydra, the obelisk of unknown purpose was nothing.

The next morning, Coulson personally led a group to deliver the box containing the obelisk, along with a message from Nick Fury.

The implication is that they hope Li Chuan will have more similar collaborations with S.H.I.E.L.D.
