"Friday." Samuel called out after closing the safe.
Light and Shadow flickered, and a holographic image of a young girl appeared before him.
This was the artificial intelligence created by Iron Man Tony Stark, who took over Jarvis's work after Jarvis was destroyed by Ultron and eventually transformed into Vision.
Evidently, this was also something Samuel scavenged from the void!
"Good evening, Boss." Friday greeted Samuel sweetly.
This version of Friday is more human than the one in the movie, and she's just as good as Jarvis, even having a holographic image that's uniquely hers, something Jarvis doesn't have.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Everything is normal."
Samuel nodded, then asked, "How is the person I asked you to investigate?"
"Isaiah Bradley, Super Soldier Serum injector, codename: Captain America. Current residence: Baltimore, Maryland."
Friday brought up a holographic map, marking the detailed location and the target's real-time whereabouts.
"Jessica Campbell, now known as Jessica Campbell Jones, lives in Midtown Manhattan with her adoptive sister Patricia Tracy Walker."
The holographic map also showed the marked detailed location and her real-time whereabouts.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the red dot representing her real-time location was nearby, specifically on the same street.
"Luke Lucas..." Friday continued to report the investigation results without pause.
Samuel interrupted, "You don't need to report the others for now."
He wanted to get stronger and gain more abilities, but there weren't many available targets at the moment.
Bruce Banner hadn't become the Hulk yet, Tony Stark hadn't become Iron Man, and the future Scarlet Witch Wanda was still just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.
Furthermore, to deal with the Time Variance Authority, strength-based close combat was the preferred target.
Because magic is forbidden in the Time Variance Authority, the Infinity Stones there can only be used as paperweights or left in drawers to gather dust!
However, the Timekeepers responsible for arresting time criminals and maintaining the security of the Time Variance Authority are all ordinary people.
They were all time criminals who were brainwashed after being captured, forgetting their original identities, their memories were altered, and they transformed into Timekeepers who arrest time criminals.
In the Time Variance Authority's home ground, those who use magic and energy might not even be as threatening as ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. field Agents.
Outside of their home ground, Timekeepers primarily rely on equipment.
Weapons that prune targets to the Void upon impact, controllers that can travel to any timeline and location in the Multiverse, time collars to prevent targets from escaping, timeline resetters, and so on—
Relying on these devices, they can arbitrarily prune time criminals and time branches.
What to do if the opponent is too strong to defeat?
If you can't beat them, then don't fight.
You can directly prune the time branch and reset the timeline, resolving the opponent without anyone knowing!
Getting back to the main topic, Samuel, who had collected his thoughts, had already come outside and saw Jessica Jones arguing with a blonde girl on the roadside in front of a bar not far away.
Unfortunately, the blonde girl was her 'sister' Tracy Walker. No matter how fierce the argument, they couldn't possibly come to blows, so there was no chance to be a bystander and get drop rewards.
"You know what, Jess? I'm proud of myself tonight, even if you're not."
Tracy Walker looked at her with dissatisfaction and turned to get in the car to leave: "If you don't want to come, suit yourself. I'm going to be with my friends."
"You think they're your friends? They're just leeches who only want to suck your money, your drinks, your food." Jessica Jones didn't want her to get lost and degenerate in this vanity.
But this angered Tracy Walker, who was already worked up. She retorted directly, "Aren't you? Why don't you pay for your own tuition?"
Jessica Jones looked at her in surprise: "Because you insisted on paying for me."
Tracy Walker: "And pay your own damn rent, instead of freeloading off me."
Jessica Jones also got worked up and retorted anxiously, "Do you think I need you? Do you think I can't get what I want?"
"I don't need anything from you!"
Jessica Jones turned and strode towards the nearby ATM, easily pulling it open and taking out the money inside.
Seeing this, Tracy Walker looked helpless.
"See, it's all done." Jessica Jones held up the money to show off to her.
"Great, that's just great. Don't call me when you get arrested and need bail!"
"Don't call me when you overdose and need to go to the hospital either."
Jessica Jones retorted, but Tracy Walker didn't want to say anything more. She shook her head and got into the car.
"Bang!"
The car door closed, and the car drove away.
"Damn!"
Jessica Jones cursed softly in frustration, squatting down to pick up the scattered money.
As she was picking it up, a pair of feet stopped in front of her eyes. Looking up, she saw a cool and slightly roguish Asian boy with a buzz cut.
Samuel glanced at the boy across the street holding a wine bottle. This scene was in Jessica Jones's solo series, and it was where the two of them became boyfriend and girlfriend.
This boy was her first boyfriend, and Jessica Jones's later style of wearing black leather jackets and black leather boots was also because of him.
This guy was a scumbag and was later hammered to death by his mother-in-law, who was Jessica Jones's mother.
"Why argue? Can't you just calmly slap each other a few times?" Samuel said lightly, his tone filled with regret.
Jessica Jones: ???
When I type '?', it's not because I have a problem, it's because I think you have a problem!
"She's my only family." Jessica Jones was a little angry.
"Not anymore."
Jessica Jones almost couldn't help but ask him, 'Are you being polite?'
You've taken all the bamboo shoots!
Samuel blinked. Your biological mother is still alive. Isn't that unexpected? Isn't that a surprise?
He's quite handsome, but his personality is so bad—
Jessica Jones got up and put the money back into the ATM, roughly pushing the pulled-open part back together, and turned to leave.
"Hey."
"What?" Jessica Jones turned her head to look.
Samuel pointed to the sign of the [Viettel Express Logistics Company New York Branch] not far away and asked with a smile, "A job with room and board, want it?"
Jessica Jones looked at the company sign, then at Samuel, and with the boldness of someone skilled, she simply nodded: "Yes!"
