"What do you need me to do so I can see my mother?" Skye asked Michael cautiously, her excitement subsiding.
"It's simple, help me manage this Group." Michael pointed to his CEO's office. "I value your talent, not your background!"
"The reason I told you everything beforehand was simply to be completely open and honest! It was meant to tell you that the family you care about, the people you care about—I don't care about them. In other words, the Inhumans, they can exist or not exist."
"This World won't stop functioning because someone is missing. Even if some lunatic snaps his fingers and wipes out half the life in the Universe someday, the World will still continue to operate! If you're unwilling, I can even erase your memory of today and let you return to your original path."
Michael's indifferent demeanor startled Skye.
It would have been fine if she hadn't known these things, but now that she clearly knew her entire life had been planned out by a shadowy organization, to have her memory erased and go back to living such a… dark and miserable life? She'd have to be crazy!
"No! Please rest assured! I will do my utmost to manage the Group well for you!" Skye was startled, no longer daring to be negligent. She quickly stood up and bowed ninety degrees, stating her position.
As for the lunatic who snapped his fingers and wiped out half the life in the Universe, that was long forgotten.
"Alright, I'm not some old-fashioned landlord from the old society; you don't need to bow. Since you've accepted this job, let's talk about your compensation!"
"Shh, don't speak, just listen."
Seeing Skye about to decline, Michael waved his hand directly, "I told you, what I value is your talent, so naturally, I won't tie you down with so-called favors. What should be given, I will not be stingy with!"
"Money and such are basic operations. Whatever salary a Group CEO should have, that's what I'll give you..."
"And as the CEO of the ... Group, one of my future right-hand people, you naturally deserve other rewards!"
Michael finally revealed his goal... a CEO, sorry, what kind of thing can defeat Sunset Purple Sweet Potato? Only someone who can stay by Michael's side will truly capture Michael's attention.
"In this day and age, relying solely on concepts, ideals, and shouting a few slogans is useless!"
"I'll give you two options, and you can choose either one."
"Of course, you can also choose both, but the premise is that you must meet the corresponding qualifications!"
"First, if you are an Inhumans, I can directly activate your superpower, allowing you to gain the abilities you were meant to have ahead of time."
"Second, you can wish for any ability, no matter how bizarre or strange, it's all possible!"
With mutated gems in hand, and energy reserves constantly maintained at one million points! Michael is fearless about whatever ability Skye might wish for! Moreover, the cunning Michael only gave an opportunity to wish for an ability, and didn't guarantee how powerful that ability would be, right! You want Magneto's ability? No problem! As for whether you get the ability of a Level 3 Mutant, a Level 4 Mutant, or a Level 5 Mutant, that's entirely up to Michael's discretion! Of course, if one day Skye completely follows Michael's words, granting the strongest ability would naturally not be an issue... "Do I have to choose?"
Skye was a bit... all this time, Skye had lived in hiding, never experiencing such a situation. This involved managing a Group worth hundreds of billions, even trillions, activating superpowers, and even being able to wish for superpowers and such. Could it get any more ridiculous? However, in reality, this is the truth! When all this is laid out before you, you have to believe it, even if you don't want to!
Hiss!!! Skye fiercely pinched her waist, wincing in pain.
This is real. "Then, I'll choose my own inherent ability!"
After a moment of hesitation, Skye still chose to activate her innate ability.
"No problem!"
A look of 'just as expected' flashed across Michael's face.
Skye, this girl, despite years of hiding and being incredibly good at playing hide-and-seek.
Relatively speaking, her knowledge in this kind of situation is truly exceptionally poor.
Michael had guessed in his heart that this girl would choose to activate her innate ability.
Snap! A finger-snap echoed.
A ripple of thought.
The space around Skye instantly changed its rules; the chair, the floor, the flowers and plants all vanished.
In just the blink of an eye, a transparent, perfectly regular cubic glass cover enveloped Skye.
"Skye, that crystal behind you is the power source for activating your superpower. Smash it, and you'll be able to activate the hidden superpower within you."
Seeing Skye jump in fright, Michael immediately showed a mischievous, successful smile.
Skye turned and saw a large sledgehammer and a giant crystal almost as tall as herself.
Swallowing, Skye found that her body seemed to be conveying the thought, 'Smash it! Smash it!'
"This, do I really just smash it like this?"
Resisting her body's honesty, Skye walked towards the sledgehammer, not forgetting to turn and ask Michael.
However, Michael didn't respond to her, but gave her a meaningful smile. A hint of doubt flashed through Skye's mind.
But, her honest body had already gripped the sledgehammer, and even raised it high!
Bang!!! The sledgehammer fell heavily, and the crystal, as tall as she was, shattered with a resounding crash! No! It didn't shatter into pieces, but with an invisible wave, it turned into a mist, completely filling the entire glass cube! Skye's figure was no longer visible!
Just then! A blue light flashed, an electromagnetic field-like circle formed, and a man without eyes, the Inhumans Blind Man, suddenly appeared!
"I haven't gone looking for trouble with you, but you want to cut me off?"
Michael's eyes turned cold, and with a thought, he instantly teleported behind the Blind Man.
A hand chop knocked him unconscious!
Grabbing the Blind Man by the back of his neck, with a thought.
Whoosh! Michael and the Blind Man instantly appeared in the Venus Space Station!
