The white-haired, square-faced old man was naturally Gideon Malick.

Stephanie nodded, but hesitated. “Should we find a chance to get rid of them?”

Frowning slightly, a dark look flashed across Gideon’s face before he shook his head. “These two have some power. If something happens immediately after they come to our place, it’ll easily draw attention.”

Stephanie thought for a moment and thought that it made sense, but she was still a little unwilling. “After the Master came back, he said he wanted to take a look for himself. He might run into someone who knew Werner. Daddy, we should prepare in advance to eliminate unnecessary obstacles for the Master.”

Gideon’s eyes darkened even more, but he didn’t object. “It’s time to get ready. Hm, I’ll have someone to do it. You just do the same as before. We’ll wait for the Master to come back before we take the next step.”

Stephanie smiled happily and kissed him on the cheek. “Okay, Daddy. There’s a charity auction in the afternoon. I’ll go get ready.”

Gideon watched his daughter leave with a smile, which gradually faded. D*mn it! Why was that monster still alive?

The Malick family was powerful enough to begin with, so there was actually no need to have anything to do with that thing.

After he took charge of the family, he should have gradually downplayed the existence of the Monolith so that everyone would gradually forget about it. That way, there wouldn’t be an ’emperor’ who stood above him now. Gideon was full of regret.

If it was just one more ‘puppet ruler,’ he could still think of a way to get rid of it.

The problem now was that his only daughter, Stephanie, really regarded the monster as her master.

If Gideon wanted to escape his current predicament, not only would he have to face the monster, he would also have to be careful that his daughter didn’t betray him.

This was really annoying!

Sitting in the garden, Gideon didn’t dare say the last sentence. He could only sigh helplessly. “I have it tough.”

…

A few days later, Haley sat next to Luke and murmured curiously, “Alien? It’s an alien! Darling, when are we going to catch it?”

Looking at the intelligence he had obtained after finding an opportunity to hypnotize Stephanie, Luke said indifferently, “Didn’t tens of thousands of Chitauri descend during the Battle of New York? Haven’t you seen enough?”

Haley paused for a moment, but immediately said, “That’s different. This is Hydra’s ‘god.’ Those were just ordinary alien shrimps.”

Luke asked, “If it’s a ‘god,’ how can you be sure it’s an alien?”

Haley: “…Didn’t it just come from an alien planet?”

Luke couldn’t be bothered to continue bandying words. “Alright, we’ll leave the Malick family alone for now. Otherwise, we’ll scare off that ‘god’ and there’ll be nothing to play with.”

Delighted, Haley hugged him and said, “Darling, let me make it clear first: I want to be the first to study it after we catch it.”

Dr. Haley, you really have a death wish! Luke criticized her inwardly and casually agreed. “If you can catch him, you can do whatever you want.”

If the Level 2 clone kills this ‘god’ beforehand, I won’t need to catch him, Luke added inwardly.

At that moment, his heart jumped. There was a problem on Skye’s end?

The Level 2 clone in New York had just received a distress signal from Skye.

She would only send out a signal like that when she was facing an opponent she couldn’t deal with or even escape from.

What followed was a video recorded a few minutes ago.

The Level 2 clone quickly put on the Big Dipper Armor and watched the video at the same time.

The video was from the camera in front of Skye’s room.

The air twisted, and three figures suddenly appeared.

Luke was very familiar with one of them — it was Gordon from Afterlife.

He teleported outside the range of the space obstruction device with two young Caucasian men.

One of the two men was unfamiliar to Luke, and the other… was Werner?

Wasn’t this guy possessed by Hydra’s ‘god’?

Why had he appeared with Gordon, and why was he looking for Skye?

Could it be that Jiaying had secretly hooked up with this ‘god’ to snatch Skye back?

Big Dipper turned invisible and charged out of the underground passage, but he was frowning. That didn’t seem likely.

Although Luke didn’t monitor everyone in Afterlife 24/7, he had used his abilities to create several ‘key informants.’

Usually, these women were completely normal and didn’t need to do anything special.

Only when they noticed something unusual would they leave Luke a message using more traditional ways.

Flags, flower pots, mirrors and lights could all be used to communicate.

The satellite which belonged to Luke would frequently pass over Afterlife, and wouldn’t miss these messages.

Even as the questions flew through Luke’s mind, he didn’t miss any details in the video.

The three of them appeared 20 meters away from Skye’s house. Gordon didn’t move, and simply waited.

Clearly, he didn’t dare step into the range of the space obstruction device. Without the ability to teleport, 99% of his combat ability would be lost.

Werner, who had been possessed by Hydra’s ‘god,’ walked unhurriedly to the front door of the house with the other man.

Looking at their expressions and postures, Luke was basically certain that Werner was the leader.

Whether it was Gordon or the stranger, they were very respectful toward Werner.

Was it a mind control ability? Luke wasn’t sure.

Some Inhumans looked similar to humans, but even before they awakened, they had very high mental resistance.

As an Inhuman who had awakened for a long time, Gordon would have even higher mental resistance.

If Luke used Real Dream to hypnotize Gordon, Gordon would subconsciously resist, and wouldn’t be able to act so naturally.

In the video, the two of them arrived at the door.

Werner said directly, “Daisy, come out and welcome your leader.”

Skye’s voice rang out on the loudspeaker outside the door. “Who are you?”

A calm smile appeared on Warner’s face. “Your… destiny.”

Then… nothing happened.

Who knew if Skye was stunned by Wernerl’s idiotic answer, but she didn’t say anything for a moment.

Without looking back, Werner raised one hand and crooked a finger at the unfamiliar man behind him.

The stranger immediately raised his hands and exerted strength.

Bang!

The door was forcibly blown open by an invisible force. Even half the hinges were torn off, and the door sagged against the wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots rang out in the room.

Werner’s expression changed. “Defend.”

The stranger pushed out with both hands, and three paralysis bullets were blocked by a transparent barrier in the air. He looked pleased.

The air outside the door suddenly shook as an intangible shock wave hit the transparent barrier.

The stranger’s face changed, and so did Werner’s.

Then… both of them were sent flying.
