"Hello, Mr. Dio, this is my wife, Maria Stacy, and my daughter, Gwen Stacy."
George smiled, introducing his family beside him one by one.
"Hello, Ms. Maria, Miss Gwen, I am Dio Brando, and this is my wife, Boa Hancock."
Qinuo responded enthusiastically, while elegantly turning sideways to introduce Venom beside him to George's family, as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
After saying that, Qinuo enthusiastically welcomed George's family into the manor.
Stepping into the manor, the luxurious decorations and exquisite artworks were dazzling, the marble floor reflected the brilliant light of the crystal chandeliers, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.
Gwen curiously looked around the spacious corridor, her gaze attracted by the colorful oil paintings on the wall.
"Dad, these paintings look very expensive."
She lowered her voice and leaned close to George's ear.
George gently patted his daughter's shoulder, motioning for her not to be rude.
Qinuo led everyone to an exceptionally elegantly decorated reception room, and Frank served fragrant freshly ground coffee and exquisite desserts.
"I hope these suit your taste."
Qinuo picked up his coffee cup and took a small sip. "Director George, now that You have been promoted to a high position, New York's public order will surely improve further."
George quickly put down his coffee cup, with a grateful and humble expression on his face.
"This is all thanks to Mr. Qinuo's recommendation. I will certainly do my best not to let down your trust. If there is anything needed, I will fully cooperate."
Maria also said,
"Yes, I really don't know how to thank Mr. Qinuo. If it weren't for You, George wouldn't have such an opportunity."
Qinuo waved his hand and smiled: "No need to be polite. Director George has true talent and real knowledge; I just brought it forward a little bit."
According to the original timeline, a few months later George would be involved in a kidnapping case where the hostage was the daughter of a national congressman, and it was that opportunity that made George the Director of New York.
His gaze turned to Gwen, "This lovely Miss Gwen, I presume You are also excellent in both character and academics at school, right?"
Gwen, being suddenly called out, had her cheeks slightly flushed and shyly nodded: "It's, it's okay, my grades are just alright."
"I have something I want to trouble Miss Gwen with, is that okay?"
"Can I ask what it is?"
Gwen was not a naive and innocent girl; it would be embarrassing if she couldn't do what she promised.
"Of course. Actually, when I was trading at sea, I adopted a child.
His parents unfortunately died in a shipwreck, and this child has been very depressed. My wife and I will be busy with many affairs next, and we are really unable to spare time.
So I want him to stay at your house for a while, and I hope Miss Gwen can take him around this city to play, letting him experience the beauty of life.
When we finish our work and come back, we will bring him back."
Qinuo performed to the fullest, with three parts helplessness, three parts sadness, and three parts sincerity on his face, as if he was truly worried about the child's situation.
Gwen looked at her parents beside her, saw them nod slightly, had no objection, and then also nodded in agreement.
"I can try."
"Thank You, You are truly a kind child. Frank, please bring Qinuo down."
Qinuo said to Frank beside him.
A trace of doubt flashed in Frank's eyes, but he still went upstairs as instructed.
Not long after, he came downstairs with a young boy.
Gwen curiously sized up the young boy: his neat black short hair and handsome appearance exuded a youthful vigor, but the boy's expression was a little dejected.
The young boy slowly walked into the reception room, a smile reluctantly pulled at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Hello, my name is Qinuo."
Next, Qinuo acted out a scene talking to himself, and after the party ended, Qinuo bid farewell to his disguised parents and officially moved into Gwen's home.
"Done, now we can do our own things."
Qinuo watched George's car drive away and stretched himself.
"What's next?"
Venom asked doubtfully.
"Solve a problem."
Qinuo pulled Venom and disappeared.
Frank was already used to seeing this scene. He cleaned up the teacups and went home; his work time was five months later.
—
In the dark Universe.
A huge and advanced spaceship was moving at high speed.
The Sanctuary.
Thanos's flagship.
Thanos had just completed a brutal destruction operation; he ruthlessly destroyed a Planet and for the first time made a race completely disappear from the Universe.
At this moment, he was sitting on the throne, exuding a cold and powerful aura around him, as if he was the most ruthless arbiter in this Universe.
"Your Majesty, this is your power; your great cause has advanced another step."
Ebony Maw respectfully came before the throne, knelt on both knees, bowing his head while raising the scepter in his hand, that posture was like the most devout believer paying homage to a deity.
"The first of the six Infinity Stones has appeared."
Thanos looked at the scepter in his hand, but there was not much joy in his eyes.
In his grand and ruthless plan, only one Infinity Stone does not have much effect.
"Your Majesty, according to reliable intelligence, Earth has two Infinity Stones. I am willing to lead the fleet to retrieve them for Your Majesty."
Ebony Maw said firmly, his eyes revealing absolute loyalty and fanaticism towards Thanos.
"The two on Earth are not urgent; they will be taken last, and Earth has powerful Guardians."
A flash of apprehension crossed Thanos's eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ebony Maw.
"Hello, Thanos."
A strange voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone present was startled at once; they quickly picked up their weapons, cautiously watching the stranger standing before the throne.
When did he appear?
No, he was always there.
They had memories of this person in their minds.
He opened the door and walked in calmly, casually looked around, then walked past everyone, straight to Thanos.
But everyone unconsciously ignored him, thinking all his actions were reasonable.
If he hadn't spoken up, even if he killed all of them, no one would notice.
Thanos raised his hand, stopped his subordinates' actions, and looked deeply at the man in front of him.
"Who are You?"
"Who I am is not important. I hope You answer me a question."
Qinuo said.
"What if I don't answer?"
"You will die."
Qinuo's tone was as calm as stating an established fact; though his voice was not loud, it seemed to carry a chilling power, reverberating in this silent spaceship.
