Jessica pulled her eyes, which were practically glued to the motorcycle, and blinked at Samuel, flattery evident in her expression.
Seeing this, Samuel smiled and teased her: "Do you want it?"
Jessica nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
"Then when I go out to pick things up again in the future, do you know what you should do?"
What the heck do you mean, 'picking things up'!
When other people pick things up, they pick up old goods, trash, or money.
What about you?
You pick up people, you pick up cars, and they're valuable new cars!
You say you picked them up? Come on, tell me where you picked them up, and I'll go pick them up with you!
Jessica couldn't help but complain inwardly, but on the surface, she obediently shook her head.
"I don't know."
Good heavens, this little girl actually has two faces! For the sake of the motorcycle, you're really going all out!
Samuel shook his head speechlessly and said seriously: "From now on, when I come back, don't complain, hug me!"
"..."
"You should have said so earlier, that's easy."
Jessica walked around the motorcycle and directly opened her arms to give him a big hug.
A few seconds later.
Jessica let go of Samuel, turned around, and deliberately pointed at the motorcycle casually.
"Is that enough? If not, I can hug you a few more times."
Samuel smacked his lips, glanced at Ximeizi and the others who seemed a bit eager, and said with a smile.
"One hug for one motorcycle, I'm losing big time."
"Losing what? Didn't you say you picked it up?"
"You were also picked up by me."
Samuel bantered with Jessica for a few sentences and clapped his hands.
"You, Li Martin, and Aunt May each get one. Let Li Martin handle the paperwork. If he can't handle it, then find me."
"Also, tell the other employees that the remaining motorcycles will be rewarded to the best performers each month!"
"Listen carefully, it's the best performers, not the best in terms of performance. Compared to ability, I value loyalty more!"
"Yay, that's great!"
Hearing that everyone got one, Jessica and the others immediately started shouting excitedly.
"Stop yelling, hurry up and move these bikes out of my room."
"Alright, leave it to us."
Several people agreed repeatedly and quickly moved the motorcycles out in a flurry.
Samuel chuckled softly, turned around, found this World's phone, dialed a certain number, and called out.
A few seconds later, the call connected.
"I want to see you."
"..."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't expect his first call and first sentence to be so direct.
This tone made her slightly uncomfortable.
"Half an hour later, meet at the cafe across from your company."
"There's no need for that."
Samuel hung up directly, and then disappeared with a whoosh.
The next second.
In the living room of a certain apartment building, Samuel quietly appeared.
On the living room sofa, a stunned Maria Hill put down the phone that had just been hung up.
"You—how did you get in."
Samuel casually sat on the table opposite her, looking at her slightly nervous and flustered appearance, and spoke with a smile.
"How do you think I got in?"
"Some kind of Teleportation or transmission?"
Samuel spread his hands: "You know, yet you still ask."
Maria Hill frowned tightly: "Didn't I say to meet at the cafe across from your company in half an hour?"
"You did say that, but I didn't agree."
Samuel raised a finger.
The necklace on Maria Hill's neck instantly hooked her chin tightly, making her involuntarily raise her head and look up at him.
Maria Hill tried to grab the necklace, but Samuel chuckled softly and waved his hand again.
"Swish!"
Maria Hill raised her hands high, as if surrendering.
"My dear Miss Maria Hill, there's one thing you don't seem to understand. Between us—I'm the one who makes the decisions!"
"You can only choose to accept, or passively accept."
Maria Hill stared at the smiling Samuel with a grim expression and said in a low voice: "OK, let me go."
Samuel snapped his fingers with a smile.
Maria Hill immediately felt the necklace fall, and her hands regained their freedom.
Then, she immediately took off the necklace around her neck.
"Here, see if you recognize this?"
Samuel opened a small Teleportation portal, took out a piece of Vibranium from his home, and threw it to Maria Hill.
Maria Hill caught it in a flurry and then said in surprise: "This is Vibranium? Where did you get it from?"
"Can you stop always thinking about getting information? What about the most basic trust between people?"
Samuel put on a disappointed and sad look.
Maria Hill naturally wouldn't take him seriously. She lowered her head and carefully examined this piece of Vibranium, which weighed at least two kilograms.
Currently, the price of Vibranium on the Black Market is at least ten thousand U.S. dollars per gram. If the piece in her hand were sold, it would be worth at least twenty million U.S. dollars!
Maria Hill suddenly remembered that he had said he only wanted money before, so was he here this time to sell this piece of Vibranium?
Thinking of this, Maria Hill suddenly raised her head.
"If you want to sell it, I can trade with you on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.. How about twenty million U.S. dollars?"
Samuel shook his head: "This time I don't want money, I want people."
Maria Hill frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I'll trade this piece of Vibranium for a few people from you. Officially, they will still belong to S.H.I.E.L.D., but they will be sent by me to a certain place to do something for me, and they will be sent back when they are done."
Maria Hill stared steadily at Samuel, her mind working quickly.
"Can I know where they are going and what they will be doing?"
"No."
"Is there any danger?"
"There's no danger if you don't make me angry."
"How many people do you need, and what specialties?"
"Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Barbara Morse, Sharon Carter!"
Samuel said four names.
Barbara Morse, codenamed Mockingbird, a formal S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.
Sharon Carter, niece of Peggy Carter, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founders, a formal S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.
Maria Hill was somewhat unfamiliar with the names Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons.
She checked the S.H.I.E.L.D. internal network on her phone and found that they were students at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, a subordinate organization of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Leo Fitz had outstanding talent in mechanical engineering and electronic engineering.
Jemma Simmons was also a young genius, majoring in biochemistry.
They were indeed talented in their respective fields, but they were too young and not particularly outstanding at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
She could understand Barbara Morse and Sharon Carter, as both were excellent Agents.
But Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons left Maria Hill a little puzzled.
"Barbara Morse and Sharon Carter are fine, but Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, I need to know why them."
"They are new students who just entered the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. I must know the reason before I can consider whether to let them join."
...
PS: Except for Sharon Carter, the remaining three are from [Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.]
