"I feel so tired, seems like I overdid it..."
Skye pulled out the last tissue from the box and wiped the sweat off her face, "Exercising like this should be good for fat loss, right~"
Ye Li gently pinched her slim waist, "Your figure is just right, why would you need to lose weight?"
"What do you know? Girls never think they're too thin~"
Skye bent down to pick up the tie and fastened it again before speaking.
"Li, if what you said is true... then should I go look for my biological parents?"
"Enn…I was actually thinking of forming a task force, similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agents."
"Once it's established, we can have them investigate your parents and the Inhumans."
After saying that, Ye Li flicked her tie with his fingers.
"You're at the executive level now, why are you still dressing like this? You look like a regular office worker~"
"I'm just your little assistant~"
Skye gave a charming smile, turned her head, and kissed Ye Li before asking.
"What investigation team? Why don't I know about it?"
"Let me show you the team members I picked———"
Ye Li opened his computer and easily pulled up the files.
The first page of the list prominently displayed Qin Feng, Tang Ren, and Song Yi.
"These three are my hometown buddies, a detective team, very strong in analysis."
"Although their combat abilities are a bit weak, they can make up for it by learning to control clone soldiers."
After the introduction, he scrolled to the next page.
This page showed Peter Parker and Ned Leeds, the inseparable duo.
"You know Peter and Ned."
"Peter is a scientific genius, and though Ned isn't as good as you, he's also a computer expert."
"They can provide technical support for the team."
Click.
Ye Li scrolled to the last page, where the mouse hovered over a silly photo of Pietro———
"This one... is a connection. But he has decent potential."
"It actually looks pretty legitimate... While we do have Silver Sable's security force, we really do lack professional investigators like this..."
Skye looked for a while and scrolled, "Huh? There's another page... A girl?"
"Ahem... This is a backup member, she usually doesn't participate in operations."
Ye Li quickly skipped past the page of 'Maki Matsumoto,' his expression slightly unnatural.
———Because this was a remote-controlled clone body haphazardly created by Wilder...
The next day.
At Sunnyvale Garden.
A lounge chair was set up.
Ye Li lay back leisurely, sunbathing while communicating through his earpiece————
[Boss, the investigation results are out. The explosion wasn't an accident like a gas leak.]
[Your new investigation team is amazing. Just through field investigation and a bit of info we provided, they determined that the explosion site was a secret research facility for Centipede soldiers.]
[Especially that Qin Feng guy, he explained everything so clearly, even better than the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents...
[Oh—did you know? S.H.I.E.L.D. also sent a team to investigate, and they wanted to share information with us. Ha! As if. They've never even heard of Centipede soldiers, what could they possibly share?]
Ye Li listened to the increasingly excited research director and cut him off: [Alright, alright, Wilder. Don't get too excited. I can only help you up to this point. From now on, I'm leaving this entirely in your and the team's hands. Show me what you can do...]
The research director quickly assured him: [Boss, don't worry! Leave it to us!]
[Good.]
Beep——
After hanging up,
Ye Li looked at Pietro standing in front of him, a bit disheveled. "Your sister sent you?"
"Uh-huh."
Pietro nodded absentmindedly…
He was staring at the towering Destroyer armor nearby.
Ye Li deliberately pretended not to know. "What did she send you for?"
"Ah—ah…no! My sister didn't send me."
Pietro snapped out of it and quickly shook his head. "I came on my own. I want to get stronger! To become a powerful Transcendent like a sorcerer. Wanda told me you had a way, so I came to find you."
"Ohhh—I see. That's easy."
Ye Li leaned back against the chair with a faint smile. "First, call me brother-in-law."
Pietro: ???
