Carl Johnson's expression changed. He knew his own situation. For revenge, he had developed a potion that could greatly increase his strength, but it also had serious side effects.
Seeing the change in Carl Johnson's expression, Finney knew he had calmed down, and then released the control of the 'Golden Great Evolution Technique'.
Carl Johnson staggered back two steps, only then realizing he could move again. Looking at Finney standing quietly in front of him, he opened his mouth, and finally said:
"Her name is Daisy, that's what her mother and I named her."
"You can tell her when you meet her."
Finney nodded. The name didn't matter; Skye could call her whichever she liked.
"You really captured Whitehall?"
Carl Johnson continued to ask, his eyes filled with excitement and hatred. He still remembered the horrific scene he witnessed when he saw his wife that night, all because of him.
"You'll see him then."
Finney didn't offer any proof. Once Whitehall's usefulness was over, his faction of Hydra would have no reason to exist.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you know all this?" Carl Johnson looked at Finney again, his eyes filled with deep doubt. These were things that ordinary people couldn't possibly know.
"Do you know the Silver Knight?"
After thinking for a moment, Finney reluctantly chose this excuse.
Carl Johnson was taken aback. Although he didn't often follow the media and news, he still interacted with people, so he knew about this mysterious figure. He replied, "Yes!"
"I am the Silver Knight. I know a lot about this world!"
Hearing Finney's words, Carl Johnson was greatly surprised. Although he didn't know everything about the Inhumans, he had some understanding, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Are you one of the chosen ones, like Daisy?"
Finney rolled his eyes, speechless, and explained to Carl Johnson, "You're talking about the obelisk, right? It's an alien artifact. Skye… okay, okay, Daisy and her mother have an alien gene in them, so that thing doesn't cause harm."
"As for my situation, it's different from theirs. You don't need to know that much."
"An alien artifact!?"
Carl Johnson was stunned again. He knew from Skye's mother, Jiaying, that the obelisk could awaken the power of the chosen ones, but he really didn't know why or how they would awaken it.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. I came to you to tell you that your daughter really wants to see you, but I don't want her to be unhappy after meeting you."
"We are family. I am her father."
Carl Johnson's emotions surged again. He clenched his fists, his expression angry. The side effects of the drug sometimes made it difficult for him to remain rational.
"Calm down!"
Finney said in a deep voice, using the 'Golden Great Evolution Technique' to suppress Carl Johnson's emotions. Then, he frowned and summoned a 'Violet Chicken Wrap'.
"Eat it!"
The Violet Chicken Wrap could make people happy and had a certain effect on calming emotions. Even the Hulk couldn't get angry after eating too much of it, so it was more than enough to deal with Carl Johnson.
Seeing Finney suddenly hand him a chicken wrap, Carl Johnson was a little confused, but after hesitating for a moment, he still took it and ate it. From what he could see so far, Finney didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, and what he said was all unknown to others.
After eating the Violet Chicken Wrap, Carl Johnson seemed to have recovered considerably, his complexion much more normal. He said, "I want to know how she's been all these years!"
Finney didn't seem to mind and gave him a general account of Skye's life at home.
Listening to Finney's account, Carl Johnson's expression shifted throughout. Knowing that Skye was happy brought him both relief and uncontrollable rage; this happiness should have belonged to him.
"It's all that bastard's fault! Where is he? Where is he? I'm going to kill him with my own hands right now!"
Therefore, after hearing the account, Carl Johnson's expression turned furious again, his hands clenched tightly, his face contorted with madness, a terrifying sight.
"Sigh!"
Seeing Carl Johnson's state, Finney felt a headache coming on. He frowned and used the 'Golden Great Evolution Technique' again to calm him down before saying, "I still need him to find your wife, or rather, do you know where your wife is?"
"Jiaying…"
Carl Johnson murmured after calming down, his eyes filled with longing. Because he had lost his child, he felt guilty, and after his wife left him, he didn't dare to look for her. He only hoped that if he could find Skye, the family could be reunited.
"She's in Sichuan, no, that's not right, it's too dangerous there, she shouldn't be there anymore, she's… she's…"
Carl Johnson paced back and forth, thinking about where his wife might be. When he couldn't think of anything, he would slap his head hard, looking annoyed.
"Alright, alright, don't rush."
Finney felt particularly exhausted from this conversation. Even Hulk, who was prone to anger, didn't act as crazy as Skye's father when talking to him.
"Although I don't know where she is, I know she's currently leading an organization where everyone has alien genes, just like her,"
Finney told Jiaying. She continued, "However, she might not be the same person you knew before. I want to ask you a question: if you had to choose between your wife and your daughter, who would you choose?"
"Well, to put it simply, the mother or the child?"
This question stunned Carl Johnson for a long time before he glared angrily at Finney and said, "I wouldn't choose either of you. We're family!"
"But what if your wife doesn't care about either of you?"
Finney looked at him quietly. "You know best what she's been through. She wants revenge, not just on Whitehall, but on all humans who aren't her kind."
"Skye will stop her, and so will I. So what's your choice?"
Carl Johnson's eyes were filled with confusion and pain. He had noticed Jiaying's changes long ago, but at the time he comforted himself, telling himself that no one could go through such things without changing.
Later, because he himself had become increasingly irrational, he paid even less attention to such matters. Now, hearing Finney's words, he realized that these changes were the biggest obstacle preventing their family reunion.
"I will stop her!"
In the end, Carl Johnson chose Skye, which didn't surprise Finney too much, because he knew that the man's greatest wish was still for his family to be reunited. Faced with a truly crucial matter, he hadn't completely lost his mind.
"Remember your choice. Get ready. I'll b
ring her to see you tomorrow morning. Call me if anything happens."
Finney left a phone number, then, right in front of Carl Johnson, opened a portal and disappeared before his eyes.
