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

Chapter 271 The Extraordinary Base "Afterlife" (Second Update)

Upon hearing Nick Fury's words, Steve fell silent for a moment.

He didn't know how to solve this problem either.

After waking up, he met Tony Stark a few times, and to be honest, the two didn't have a good impression of each other when they first met.

The other person thought he was an old-fashioned person, and he thought the other person was too frivolous. In short, he couldn't stand anything about him.

However, after cooperating twice in operations against Hydra, their relationship gradually improved because they both saw undeniable strengths in each other.

They also discovered that they were essentially the same type of people.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Just then, there was a knock on the conference room door, and Hill walked in carrying a tablet.

"Director, the satellite has just captured a hypersonic flying object, with a speed of approximately Mach 30. According to the satellite's image, it is Li Chuan."

The image displayed on the tablet showed Li Chuan and his flying sword wings merging into one, flying at high speed.

Normally, in this situation, S.H.I.E.L.D. would immediately try to intercept and track them, but since the target is Li Chuan, she can only consult the director.

"This guy is becoming more and more unpredictable!"

Nick Fury looked at the pictures on the tablet, and finally waved his hand helplessly:

"Ignore him, and don't monitor or follow him."

As for Li Chuan, as long as the other party doesn't violate any principles, he will choose to turn a blind eye.

Because he currently has no means to restrain the other party, and even his wife is not an easy opponent, unless he calls back Captain Marvel.

But Li Chuan isn't some heinous criminal. He protected Earth and repelled an alien invasion last year, and he often does good deeds in New York.

In reality, he is one of the world's most famous philanthropists, the head of the Li Group, whose drugs are sold at low prices, saving countless people from cancer, disability, and poverty.

Currently, Li Chuan, the mysterious CEO of the Li Group, far surpasses Tony in global popularity rankings. If he were threatened, it is estimated that many people around the world would rise up in protest.

The key point is that they were given a lot of information about Hydra just yesterday.

Captain Marvel isn't his subordinate; he must have invited her back to deal with a supervillain who threatens Earth's safety.

If Captain Marvel were told about what Li Chuan had done, she'd probably turn around and leave.

So he had thought it through clearly: rather than targeting them, it was better to win them over.

That way, if another crisis arises that Earth cannot handle, at least there will be a powerful figure like Li Chuan to hold the line.

He has a strong desire for control and likes the feeling of having everything under his control, but he's not stupid either.

Otherwise, why didn't he control Captain Marvel and keep her on Earth to help her? Why bother with the safety of those alien life forms?

"Furry, could you put in a good word for Bucky? Given my relationship with Bucky, I'm worried Tony might misunderstand."

After thinking for a while, Steve looked at Nick Fury.

Nick Fury, however, decisively shook his head:

"If I go, it will probably be worse. Tony doesn't have a good impression of me or the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. Every time he comes to help fight Hydra, it's because he wants to do it himself. You should know that very well."

Upon hearing Nick Fury's words, Steve couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, in all their collaborations, he had never heard Tony say anything good about Nick Fury.

"But you can go to him. I think if he's willing to help, it shouldn't be a big problem."

At this moment, Nick Fury flipped the tablet in his hand over, revealing Li Chuan on it.

"It seems this is the Otherworldly base, 'Afterlife'!"

Twenty minutes later, Li Chuan appeared in the sky above a small town that was completely isolated from the world, surrounded by mountains, with no roads leading to the outside world.

The town's buildings had a distinctly Eastern character. He glanced around and estimated that over a hundred people lived there.

According to the coordinates displayed by the tracker, Skye is now in that house in the center of the town below.

The hardest step is now complete; the rest is easy.

Without infiltrating or launching a sneak attack, Li Chuan simply flapped the wings of his flying sword and slowly landed in the center of the town from high above.

The other people in the town were somewhat surprised to see Li Chuan with metal wings on his back, but not particularly astonished.

For some reason, the clan leader has been opening up the mist much more frequently lately. Some people have disappeared from the town, but many others have also unlocked their own special abilities.

Guys like Li Chuan with metal wings on their backs look a bit strange, but there are quite a few who are even stranger than him.

Therefore, they only regarded Li Chuan as a newly awakened flying superhuman.

"Hey, sir, don't use your abilities to fly around in the square. If you want to fly, go to the training ground behind the mountain."

Another person kindly offered him a reminder.

Li Chuan simply smiled and nodded, then walked towards Skye's house.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

He politely raised his hand and knocked twice on the door, and a middle-aged woman's voice immediately came from inside.

"Who?"

"I'm Skye's friend. May I come in and chat for a bit?"

Li Chuan replied.

His words had barely left his mouth when Skye's excited voice immediately came from inside:

"Mom, he's the friend I was talking about who can help you."

"Skye, you don't understand. Humans can't tolerate us Inhumans. I'm so glad that your abilities have been awakened by the mist. Just stay here and live peacefully. I'll take care of everything else."

Jia Ying looked at her daughter, whom she had been separated from for twenty years, and gestured to Gordon beside her. Gordon immediately teleported away.

Then suddenly, sirens blared throughout the town.

No one can stop her revenge, no one can stop her plan to exterminate humanity, not even her daughter.

Let's go back twenty minutes.

After Skye was taken back to the "afterlife" by Gordon, she immediately met her mother, Jia Ying, whom she had been longing for for twenty years.

Due to the connection between the supernatural beings and Skye's striking resemblance to herself, Jia Ying quickly connected Skye with her long-lost daughter, Daisy.

Her greatest wish was revenge, but that didn't mean she didn't care about her daughter. It's just that the world is so big, and finding her daughter in the vast sea of ​​people is no easy task.

Just as she was about to learn about Skye's situation and conduct a bloodline test, Skye called out "Mom" first.

What followed was a heartwarming reunion between mother and son, during which they recounted their experiences over the years.

Because of Li Chuan's instructions, Skye didn't hide anything and said directly that a friend had helped her open the fog, and that this friend would be coming soon to help the Inhumans live a better life in the future, without having to worry about being rejected and cruelly treated by humans anymore.

Skye had just finished speaking when there was a knock on the door, and Li Chuan arrived.
