Chapter 1828: Awkward Meeting Between Father and Daughter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luke’s clone arrived very quickly.

The Level 1 clone had recently been grinding points in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.

Skye and the others were in Charleston, the largest city in West Virginia.

American place names were very common, and the biggest city in South Carolina was called Charleston.

These two ‘biggest cities in the state’ had one thing in common: they had fewer than 100,000 people.

There were five million people in South Carolina, but only two million in West Virginia.

This was a remote region of America, which made it easier for Phil to keep an eye on people.

Charleston was surrounded by empty wilderness.

Unless Skye’s father had a nanosuit or a superpower, and could run hundreds of kilometers without needing to drive, it would be hard for him to slip away soundlessly.

At that moment, Phil was feeling helpless as he stood not far away. “Mr. V, isn’t this a little inappropriate?”

Luke leaned forward and observed the middle-aged man in the chair. He said casually, “It’s just a small tranquilizer dose to ensure we don’t clash physically.”

Phil had nothing to say in response, and could only grumble inwardly:?You darted him as soon as you charged in; it would be strange if there?was?a clash!

No matter what his beloved uncle thought, Luke didn’t care. His attention was focused on the middle-aged man in front of him.

......

The man looked like he was in his forties. He had a scraggly beard and messy hair.

His old suit was only a little better than a tramp’s. Who knew how long it had been since he changed, but he smelled sour and smelly.

His eyes were lifeless… Well, that was because he had been injected with the tranquilizer. However, his eye bags were very heavy and his eyes were bloodshot. Clearly, he hadn’t been sleeping well.

After examining the person for about a minute, Luke said, “Skye is your daughter?”

The middle-aged man said, “Yes.”

Luke asked, “What’s your name?”

The middle-aged man: “Calvin Zabo.”

…

Luke asked a lot of questions. After a long while, he turned to Phil. “So?”

Phil couldn’t help but scratch his head. “This… isn’t easy to handle.”

Luke nodded and also wanted to scratch his head, because this involved a lot of things.

Skye used to be called Daisy Johnson — Johnson was her father’s real name.

That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that Skye had a mother called Jiaying.

Jiaying was Chinese, and met Calvin when he visited a remote Chinese village in the 1980s to provide medical aid. Skye was born after that.

Not long after Skye was born, Jiaying’s village was attacked.

Not only were all the villagers killed, Skye, who was still a baby, was also taken away.

Calvin had gone out to practice medicine. When he returned, he only found Jiaying’s broken body in the wasteland outside the village.

At that point, the story turned into a horror movie.

Calvin sewed up Jiaying’s body, and then… she came back to life.

That was right. At that time, someone had dug out her internal organs, but she came back to life after being stitched up.

That was because she was a superhuman who could absorb the lives of others to heal her injuries or even make her immortal.

The people in that remote village worshiped her like a witch or a god, and she had always used the old villagers on the verge of death to prolong her life.

Calvin knew that too, but he loved Jiaying deeply. Not only wasn’t he scared off, he even stayed in the village.

Jiaying, who had been saved, suddenly disappeared one day. Her message didn’t explain where she went, and only told Calvin to find their daughter.

Calvin had lost his wife and child, and was furious. For the sake of their family being reunited, however, he could only do his best to investigate the tragedy that was the destruction of the village.

He found some leads and began to hunt down the group that had taken Skye away; it was the SHIELD agents who had been protecting her.

When they realized this, Luke and Phil looked at each other in bewilderment. Could Skye accept joining the organization that had killed her mother?

Those agents really weren’t Hydra.

After that, however, Calvin said that he suspected that these people had unknowingly been following the orders of a Hydra branch leader.

That was because Jiaying had once fallen into the hands of Hydra, and Hydra had discovered the peculiarity about her. That was why Hydra had tracked her down in China and dissected her.

Phil was immediately relieved.

In other words, Hydra had probably borrowed the power of the old SHIELD to do something bad.

Phil had also contributed to the destruction of the old SHIELD, and had always been against Hydra. It was unlikely that Skye would turn hostile toward him.

So, there was still hope of recruiting her into New SHIELD.

But nobody knew where Skye’s mother, Jiaying, was, or what she wanted.

The woman had once sent a letter to Calvin asking him to help find a special item, and she would meet him then.

Luke and Phil found that strange. Shouldn’t the family reunite after their daughter, Skye, was found?

At that point, Skye was halfway through her search for her parents.

However, her mother was missing, her father had gone crazy, and there was an unknown enemy that was nowhere to be seen. The situation was a mess.

Thinking for a moment, Luke made a decision. “I’ll stabilize Calvin’s mental state first. He can meet Skye tomorrow at the earliest.”

Hiding Calvin would arouse Skye’s suspicions, so it was better to let her know everything as soon as possible.

She was about to turn 20; it was time for her to make some life decisions.

…

The meeting between Skye and Calvin the next day wasn’t a happy one at all.

Calvin really cherished and loved Skye, but he couldn’t control his temper.

When he said he wanted to live together with Skye, she had looked at V and Phil inquiringly.

This immediately agitated Calvin, who felt that Luke and Phil had stolen his daughter’s attention. He couldn’t help but roar that he was going to kill them.

Skye was both embarrassed and depressed.

Phil was helpless.

Luke rolled his eyes under his mask. That was exactly how a mental patient would react.

Unfortunately, with the restraints on him, Calvin could only twist and yell in his chair. He couldn’t do anything to them.

As his immediate family, Skye quickly agreed to V’s proposal — take Calvin back to New Jersey for treatment first.

Calvin would enjoy a good treatment environment. He could meet Skye during the day, and would sleep in a reinforced confinement room at night.

After that, V immediately took Calvin back to New York.

Phil, on the other hand, stayed with Skye to protect her and ensure that she didn’t vent her anger on New SHIELD.

Mindy, who had been on the trip with Skye, was very curious about Skye’s father, but Skye said that she wanted to take care of it herself, so Mindy didn’t say anything.

She was sorry that this trip had barely started before it came to an end – she hadn’t had enough.
