Now, how do you plan to make amends?"
Skye's eyes widened. He was slandering her!

Chapter 36: Blatant Treason, America is Doomed!
"You devil! I haven't even had a chance to do anything yet…"
Skye instinctively retorted, but Aaron just said, "Oh, so you admit you were planning to do something just now!"
"Tell me, who gave the Rising Tide organization this mission?"
Aaron stared directly into her eyes, with Super Senses, Super Vision, and Vibration Sense all active.
If Skye showed any possibility of lying, he would instantly detect it.
Although Aaron hadn't received any training in interrogation or micro-expressions,
anyone with his numerous abilities could easily determine if someone was telling the truth.
Even the world's top agents couldn't hide anything from him!
Moreover, Skye was just a rookie; besides her decent hacking skills, she was just an ordinary person.
Oh no, her genes were a bit different; after all, she was an Inhuman.
Skye was speechless.
"Consider the consequences carefully. I can hand you over to the police at any time. Given the hundreds of millions in losses, and the donations and taxes we provide annually, believe me, both the police station and the court will uphold justice!"
"I'll give you a number: ten years!"
"If I say ten years, it will definitely be ten years, no more, no less!"
In this money-driven country, nothing is impossible to solve with money, except death.
As long as there's enough money, even running for president or getting Congress to change or add laws is not a problem.
Take the Anti-Squid Act as an example.
Skye was greatly shocked by this. "You… how can you do this! This is a frame-up! This is slander! I'm going to sue you for slandering me!"
"You're telling me, a rising star worth hundreds of billions, slandering you, a hacker-thief who casually invades other people's companies?"
"Who do you think the public would rather believe?"
Aaron said earnestly.
Skye's face showed her conflict. "Alright, I don't know who issued the mission. This was a task given to me by Rising Tide. I was just taking on some part-time jobs while completing my studies…"
"They asked me to find out about your company's research on limb regeneration serum, and whether you are conducting inhumane human experiments."
"Especially you… you used some extraordinary power at the board meeting. If it's confirmed that you are illegally conducting human experiments to research some demonic abilities, then…"
"Then it will be made public, and the law will judge me?"
Aaron couldn't help but laugh. "What a naive girl!"
Skye said indignantly, "I'm upholding the people's right to know, serving the people! You big companies must accept public supervision!"
"Is that so? Then have you researched Vanguard Technology?"
"Do you know what they are doing?"
"Rising Tide? Serving the people? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
Aaron genuinely found Skye's explanation amusing.
What kind of nonsense about serving the people? How many public welfare organizations in the world are truly driven by love and service to the people?
He knew better than anyone what the Rising Tide organization was!
A hacker organization that would disregard laws and morals as long as they were paid enough.
Their so-called service to the people was just self-promotion.
It only fooled naive people like Skye.
Anyone who had been in society for a few days would never believe such nonsense.
The world bustles for profit, and the world scrambles for gain.
The ancients had already made it very clear.
The entire world is a huge makeshift stage, and profit is what they all scramble for!
Even Aaron himself,
A modern Einstein? A pioneer of human civilization? A pioneer in the medical industry?
Forget it, he didn't care what these people thought.
"Alright, I see you don't know anything. You're just an ignorant hothead who's been kept in the dark."
"Come with me!"
Aaron stopped asking. He was convinced Skye wasn't lying, and continuing to ask would be meaningless.
Rising Tide? A hacker organization that appears and disappears like a phantom? Hmph, if they dare to offend him, Aaron, then he won't be held accountable for what happens!
Skye was stunned. "Wh-what are you doing?"
"You!"
"Huh?"
Aaron looked at her with a half-smile. "Since you're already here, wouldn't it be a shame to leave without seeing anything?"
"You want to see what we're doing, don't you? Come, I'll take you to see it for yourself!"
Without allowing Skye to refuse, Aaron grabbed her and walked towards the building.
A tiger has no intention of harming people, but people have the heart to harm a tiger.
Aaron didn't care what Skye's initial intentions were; anyway, once she entered this door, she wouldn't be able to leave easily.
At the same time, his brain connected to nearby signals and he sent a text message to Felicia, telling her to drive the car to an unmanned area.
Skye was very reluctant. She felt that the Osborn building was like a primordial beast with its mouth open, easy to enter, difficult to leave.
She wanted to leave, but Aaron's hand was unshakeable like an iron clamp.
Skye was forced into the building, under the curious gaze of others.
Aaron led her to the laboratory building.
"Boss!"
It was still Norman.
Noticing Skye beside Aaron, Norman curiously glanced at her twice and said, "I have already contacted Dr. Helen Cho. She will arrive promptly at 3 PM this afternoon."
Aaron nodded, glancing at someone in the distance who was looking their way.
Norman looked over and quickly said, "That's the secretary of the highest commander of the US Air Force. He's here for that matter."
Aaron suddenly realized, "Is our Air Force commander so impatient?"
"After all, he's old, and it's rumored he recently contracted lung cancer. Although it hasn't been confirmed, it's likely to be true."
"Anyway, he attaches great importance to our research and hopes to have his secretary help. If we need anything, we can contact him at any time."
"Even fighter jets are fine?" Aaron had a sudden thought.
He had many abilities now, but he lacked the ability to fly.
Spider-webs were good, but compared to flying, they were still far inferior.
Aaron had thought about melting down some flying units.
For example, supersonic birds like frigatebirds or peregrine falcons.
However, comparatively,
If he could get fighter jets directly, that would obviously be better.
Norman was stunned, looking at Aaron's skin color with some hesitation, then thought for a moment. "No problem. Any other requests?"
Aaron said without hesitation, "The sooner the better, the more advanced the better!"
Norman nodded, turned around, and spoke a few words to the other person.
Skye rolled her eyes. "Can't you tell? You're Asian. The Air Force general wouldn't agree to such an outrageous request."
That would be equivalent to treason!
She believed the brave and fearless general would never accept such a request!
Aaron said mysteriously, "That's not necessarily true."
Not long after,
The man walked over and shook Aaron's hand enthusiastically.
"Mr. Aaron, I heard Mr. Norman say that you are currently lacking a vehicle befitting your status. General Ronald, upon hearing this, immediately felt that an outstanding individual like yourself requires an exceptionally splendid vehicle!"
"Such as… a fighter jet!"
"We are willing to provide you with a fighter jet as your personal vehicle, which will absolutely be no less impressive than Mr. Stark's armor!"
In Skye's shocked, surprised, and disbelieving gaze, the secretary continued:
"So, Mr. Aaron, do you prefer the F-22 with better performance, or the faster F-15?"
"Of course, we also have a faster YF-12A interceptor and the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, but considering those are decades-old relics, they don't quite fit your status…"
"No! You can't do this! This… this is treason!"
Skye felt her worldview shattered!
Was this still the army she remembered?
Blatant treason?!
The secretary looked at Skye with confusion, as if to say, "Isn't this woman one of us?"
"Don't mind her."
Aaron shook his head. "Let's continue."
The secretary nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Madam, Mr. Aaron is the most outstanding person in the United States, and also a major taxpayer and patriot. Please do not slander us again!"
"We are merely representing the Air Force to express our regards to Mr. Aaron!"
This utterly absurd statement left Skye dumbfounded!
Oh no, America is finished!
Aaron then thought for a moment. "I want them all!"
The secretary was stunned, and another slightly older voice came through his earpiece.
"Agree to his request!"
The secretary immediately returned to normal. "No problem, we are happy to serve you!"
"Only…"
"Please thank General Ronald for me. This afternoon, Mr. Norman will present him with a gift!"
Aaron glanced at Skye and added, "This is an early Christmas gift, a unique and perfect gift!"
"I believe General Ronald will be so happy he'll feel ten years younger!"
The secretary could feel the heavy breathing coming through his earpiece.
His face was full of smiles. "Then thank you for your generosity!"
Skye was dumbfounded.
I want to report them; they are openly engaging in shady deals!
Christmas gift? It's only May, for crying out loud!
You… you need to make your excuses logical, f***!
