"Angels have been spotted…"
"I wonder if it's them."
Hua Ye watched the male angel fly off and smiled faintly.
"If it's really who I think it is... this is going to be fun."
Beside him, a blonde female angel offered him a fruit and curiously asked,
"My King, who are you talking about?"
Hua Ye took a bite of the fruit, chuckling.
"A few interesting people."
The surrounding female angels didn't understand what he meant, but they didn't press further.
Meanwhile, Stark Industries' stock price surged sharply following the press conference.
A few days later, it finally stabilized.
At present,
Carl had officially become the second-largest shareholder in Stark Industries.
Previously,
he had acquired 14.2% of the shares.
Combined with what he already held,
his total now stood at 25.2%.
That should put him ahead of Obadiah in terms of shares.
As for whether he had surpassed Tony Stark,
that was unclear.
If Tony hadn't recovered Obadiah's shares,
Carl might actually be able to compete with him.
Still, Carl wasn't really interested in controlling Stark Industries.
This stock acquisition was purely for profit.
Besides, executive control of the company wasn't solely determined by shareholding.
If he were really forced to manage the company,
he'd just find it annoying.
At this point, Carl's total net worth
had surpassed $100 billion USD,
estimated somewhere between $130 billion and $150 billion.
Of course, this wasn't all liquid capital,
much of it was tied up in assets, so this was just an approximation.
If it weren't for the limited number of publicly traded shares in Stark Industries,
less than 20%,
And if not for the diehard investors who believed in the company and refused to sell, even during Tony's disappearance,
Carl might've acquired even more.
Still,
that 14.2% he managed to buy was already significant.
He could've earned even more otherwise.
But for Carl,
this amount was already more than enough.
He wasn't funding scientific research or anything extravagant.
Just enjoying food and life.
It was plenty.
"Alright. Time to go shopping with Skye."
The Supergod World
Over the past few days, Keisha had been observing quietly.
She had become increasingly certain:
her parents were planning to leave.
They were packing up all their most valuable belongings.
And indeed,
During lunch that day,
her parents didn't touch their food.
Keisha picked at her own meal distractedly,
trying to guess the reason for their strange behavior.
Her parents exchanged a glance,
and finally, her father spoke hesitantly.
"Keisha."
"Your mother and I talked things over."
"We've decided to move somewhere else temporarily, we're leaving this afternoon."
Keisha looked at her father. She wasn't surprised,
but she still asked,
"Why?"
"Lately, there've been a lot of thieves around. This area isn't safe."
"We think it's better to lay low somewhere else for a while."
"Since you've already decided, I have no objections,"
Keisha replied sweetly.
But in truth,
there had been no talk of any thieves in their area.
Their family was wealthy,
and they had many guards.
Keisha also remembered how skilled her father was with a sword,
he could even slay a bear.
Both her parents looked very young and were in excellent physical condition.
There was no way they'd fear some common thieves.
Keisha suspected:
this had something to do with the angels.
But even with that suspicion,
she didn't say anything.
After all,
she was still just a teenage girl.
And when it came to decisions like this,
she naturally had to follow her parents' lead.
"Alright. Finish eating quickly,"
her father said with a smile.
"We'll leave as soon as we're done."
"Okay."
Keisha nodded and continued eating.
Her father stepped outside and summoned the butler.
He handed over a sum of money and dismissed all the servants and guards.
He even told the butler:
"Anything left in the house, whoever wants it can take it."
And yet,
none of the staff took anything.
Partly because Keisha's father had always treated them kindly,
and partly because they believed,
the family would return.
After all,
Keisha's father said they were only going to visit relatives.
Seeing their reaction,
he didn't say anything more,
and quietly returned to the house.
Keisha had just about finished eating.
The family of three boarded a luxurious carriage and departed.
The road was bumpy,
and Keisha stared out the window, lost in thought.
A few hours passed,
Suddenly,
Keisha spotted several small black dots in the sky.
They were extremely far away,
if it weren't for the fact that she had exchanged for the Sharingan, which slightly enhanced her vision,
she might not have noticed them at all.
Even so, the distance was too great to make out clearly.
Thinking for a moment,
Keisha activated her Sharingan.
In an instant,
her eyes turned blood red,
with two tomoe spinning in each pupil.
Sharingan.
She looked up into the sky again,
and this time, she saw it clearly.
Those distant black dots,
were actually four flying figures.
Each of them wore metal armor,
with a pair of white wings on their back.
Seeing this, Keisha couldn't help but whisper:
"Angels?"
Beside her, her mother flinched in surprise.
Then, somewhat flustered, she turned to Keisha and said:
"Keisha… what are you talking about?"
Because she suspected that her parents and the angels,
were not on friendly terms,
she felt the need to remind her daughter subtly.
Keisha pointed out the carriage window.
"Angels. Angels are here."
Her mother followed her gaze,
staring into the sky for over ten seconds before finally confirming:
They really were angels!
She quickly turned to her husband, who was driving the carriage.
"The angels are here!"
She pointed in their direction.
"What!?"
Keisha's father looked up,
and by now, the angels had drawn close.
He saw their figures immediately,
and clearly, the angels had spotted them as well.
"What do we do!?"
Keisha's mother looked panicked.
"It's alright. I'll hold them off. Take Keisha and get away."
"There are four of them. I'll stay and fight too."
"Alright. I'll go and remove the seal on Keisha."
Without hesitation, Keisha's father climbed back into the carriage.
He quickly turned to Keisha and said:
"Keisha, the angels are here."
"The truth is, we never told you…"
"We are angels."
Keisha was stunned.
"That's impossible…"
These were the parents she had lived with for over ten years.
She knew them intimately.
To her, they were completely ordinary people.
But before she could finish her sentence,
she saw it.
Behind her father,
a pair of white wings unfolded.
He calmly explained:
"Actually, you're an angel too."
"But we sealed your power using a special method."
As he spoke,
he placed a hand on her shoulder.
Keisha felt it,
a strange power flowing into her from her father's hand.
She let out a low cry,
And then,
a pair of white wings burst from her back.
"This…"
Keisha stared at her wings in shock.
Not only had a pair of wings emerged,
she could feel a new power awakening deep inside her.
