She knew that when she intercepted the Dark Warlock's data from S.H.I.E.L.D., Miles had told her that the Dark Warlock was a hero who saved humanity, and his Lis Group had helped many poor people.
Therefore, they could not make the Dark Warlock's information public, as it might endanger him. He asked her to see if she could dig up more information that S.H.I.E.L.D. was hiding, based on the Dark Warlock's true identity.
It turned out that was not the case at all. Miles just wanted to hold onto this important information so he could sell it at a high price.
Now, for money, he even wanted to sell the Dark Warlock's information to his enemies. This simply shattered her faith.
"How can I be sure that if I give you the information, you will definitely let me leave with this money?"
Inside the room, Miles put the stack of banknotes into a briefcase, a cunning look in his eyes.
He was worried about what would happen if the other party reneged on the deal after he gave them the information.
Li San stood up directly and slammed his fist on the table, leaving a clear imprint on the steel table. Then he replied coldly:
"Our boss is not short of this money. Either you speak up now and take the money and scram, or I will send you to hell and then go find your apprentice. I think she wouldn't refuse so much money."
Miles looked at the fist mark on the table, swallowed, and then replied with a fawning expression:
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just joking. Of course, I believe you, and my apprentice is not like me. She is an idiot who still believes in the idiotic ideals of the organization and won't take your money."
"Oh, it seems you are a smart person!"
Li San sat down again, a hint of mockery on his face.
Miles spread his hands:
"I used to be like her, but then I realized that everything else in this World is garbage; only money is the most important. Without money, you can't even afford a good meal.
I took such a big risk to get that information, made it public, and yet I was still kicked out of a high-end restaurant for not having enough money.
Anyway, I've had enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room door was suddenly kicked open. Skye rushed in angrily, then slapped him, and with red eyes, she roared at him:
"You liar, you're dead, I'm telling you, you're dead!"
As she spoke, she kicked Miles between his legs.
An orphan who had been passed around since childhood, without the warmth of a family or parental love, she was destined to be a girl lacking in affection. So, when she met Miles, who was slightly kind to her, she fell for him.
However, being able to escape her adoptive parents and live on her own, wandering around, driving a van to oppose government agencies, also proved that she was definitely not a weak girl.
So, after realizing she had been deceived, she was quite ruthless.
"Skye, listen to me, oh... that hurts!"
Miles was also greatly surprised to see Skye appear. After taking a slap, he was about to explain but was kicked in a vital spot again. Then he clutched his vital spot, bent over, and knelt on the ground.
"I'm listening to your 'beep beep beep', you 'beep beep beep', I'm going to 'beep beep beep' you..."
Skye furiously spewed out various curses while punching and kicking Miles, who was kneeling on the ground.
Ten minutes later, Li Chuan handed a drink to the now calm Skye again.
"To judge whether a person is good or bad, don't listen to what he says, but look at what he does.
Many people are full of benevolence, righteousness, and noble ideals. They speak beautifully and like to use them to restrain others, but in reality, they have done countless bad things in secret.
Some people may not have said much, but they saved the World and did many good deeds to help others. These are truly upright good people."
"Are you talking about yourself?"
Skye, who had been in a low mood, couldn't help but roll her Byakugan when she heard Li Chuan's words.
Li Chuan smiled:
"Oh, was I that obvious?"
"Very obvious."
Skye couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Thank you!"
Although it was a joke, she certainly agreed with Li Chuan's recent statement. Thinking about what Li Chuan had done, and then what Miles had done, there was indeed no comparison.
And at this moment, she truly made up her mind to follow Li Chuan properly.
"Miles, he..."
She said she wanted to beat Miles to death, but after all, he was once her mentor and boyfriend.
"Don't worry, I erased all his memories about you and about this place, and then I handed him over to S.H.I.E.L.D. for handling."
An insignificant small person was not worth him killing.
"Alright, now let's talk about your parents."
Li Chuan shifted the topic to the main subject.
Hearing that it concerned her parents, Skye's attention was once again focused.
"Speaking of your parents, there are many things involved. Let's start with the Kree who entered Earth fourteen hundred years ago."
So, Li Chuan explained everything: the origin of the Inhumans, the identities of Skye's parents, and Jiaying's plan to start a war between Inhumans and humans for revenge.
Skye listened in a daze, thinking she was hearing some absurd science fiction story.
If this were before, she really wouldn't believe it, but after experiencing last year's alien invasion, and with Li Chuan, the Mage, telling it, she had no choice but to believe it.
"So you want me to help you stop the war between Inhumans and humans?"
"Yes, but you don't need to do anything. Just wait until the obelisk is delivered, then I'll take you to awaken your powers, and wait for the people from 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 stated his plan.
For him, the Inhumans of the Inhuman race posed no threat to him at all. The only difficulty was that he didn't know the exact location of Afterlife.
So, there was no situation where he would go there, fail to negotiate, and then have a chaotic fight. As long as he found the location, the rest would just be a one-sided crushing.
"Okay, if it's really as you say, I will help you."
After what she had just experienced, combined with Li Chuan's identity, Skye still trusted him quite a bit now.
And having lived as an ordinary human for so many years, being kind-hearted, she naturally didn't want her mother to lead the Inhuman race into a war with all of humanity.
Therefore, she also agreed to Li Chuan's plan and was willing to awaken her powers through the obelisk.
"In that case, let's wait for S.H.I.E.L.D. to send the obelisk. I don't think they will be too late."
Li Chuan smiled, then Apparitioned back home.
Indeed, compared to the HYDRA intelligence, an obelisk whose purpose was unknown was naturally nothing.
Early the next morning, Coulson personally brought people to deliver the box containing the obelisk and brought Nick Fury's message.
The meaning was that he hoped Li Chuan would have more similar collaborations with S.H.I.E.L.D.
