"Excuse me, are you hiring here?"
A intellectual and beautiful middle-aged woman held a flyer and stood at the door, smiling as she asked Samuel, who had just come down the stairs.
Jessica Jones and Claw Woman had gone out to make copies and post the freshly printed recruitment notice. They hadn't returned yet, but the applicant had already arrived, which immediately improved Samuel's mood after failing to communicate with Ximeizi.
"Applying for the clerk position?" Samuel walked over and carefully examined the other party, but was taken aback by her appearance.
Aunt May?
With a beautiful face and figure, and a good temperament, wasn't this the future Spider-Man, Peter Parker's guardian, Aunt May?!
Didn't she live in Queens? Why did she come to Manhattan to look for a job?
"My name is Mei Parker, and I'd like to apply for the clerk position." Aunt May introduced herself proactively, speaking confidently about her abilities and her confidence in doing this job well, with ease and grace.
"Alright, you're hired."
"Ah?"
"Working hours are 8 am to 5 pm, one day off per week. Can you accept that?"
"Yes!"
"When can you start working?"
"I can start now!"
"Okay, consider today your first day!"
Samuel nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the empty hall beside him: "This will be your office area from now on. As you can see, the company is just starting, and everything is waiting to be built. The first thing you need to do is go buy computer desks, chairs, and other office equipment."
Saying that, he took out fifty thousand U.S. dollars and handed it to Aunt May: "Buy whatever office supplies you need, buy the best. We'll adjust for over or under, and get it done before dark. Any problems?"
"No, no problem."
"Then go ahead."
...
Aunt May walked out of the company in a daze with the money. I—I've been hired just like that?
Is it that casual?
Don't you need to verify if I have the ability or if I'm lying?
This young Boss is too decisive!
And he actually dared to give the purchasing task to a newly hired employee to do alone. Isn't he afraid that I'll take the money and run or inflate the prices?
Such—such a down-to-earth Boss is the first time Aunt May has encountered. To be honest, she couldn't help but worry a little about the company's future. Will the company or the young Boss's money be completely swindled away?
Although she had just joined, and didn't even know the young Boss's name, Aunt May was already worrying herself sick about the company.
After Jessica Jones and Claw Woman returned, Samuel told them about Aunt May joining and purchasing office equipment. If anyone else came to apply, they would be responsible for the interviews.
"You're leaving things to us, what about you? What are you doing? You—you're not leaving again, are you? You only just came back last night!" The more Jessica Jones listened, the more she felt something was wrong, and she subconsciously grabbed Samuel's arm.
Samuel was speechless, and chuckled, "You react quite fast. I'm just going to get the funds for running the company. I'll be back in two or three hours."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Only after getting Samuel's assurance did Jessica Jones let go of him.
He went upstairs, put on his scavenging backpack, and after many days, Samuel once again transmitted to the Void with anticipation.
...
The sky was dim, and dark clouds seemed to be about to fall, pressing down heavily.
From time to time, there were deafening roars and dazzling lights, giving a feeling of fear.
In the distance, there were ruins everywhere, with dilapidated and broken buildings standing like a doomsday scene.
This is the Void, the end of the timeline, and also the 'junkyard' of the timeline.
At the same time, this is also Samuel's treasure basin and adventure ground. Every time he comes to scavenge, he is full of anticipation and surprises!
He had been here several times and found quite a lot.
The ruins of the New York Sanctum that should have been guarded by the Sorcerer Supreme or Doctor Strange;
The remnants of Stark Tower, crumbling and likely to collapse at any moment;
In the desolate wasteland, there were also Egyptian Sphinxes, Greek temples, and so on.
These buildings were nothing.
The skull of the Living Tribunal, which wasn't certain if it was a skeleton or a statue;
The wreckage of a helicopter with Thanos's name written on it;
Thanos's Sanctuary spaceship;
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Sky Carrier;
The Kree Ronan the Accuser's spaceship;
A crashed Insight Project Sky Carrier with the HYDRA logo printed on it;
A Yellowjacket helmet that had grown larger;
There were too many good things from different timelines and Universes, but unfortunately, most of them were destroyed by the 'cleaner' Elios.
As Samuel sighed, bursts of oppressive and terrifying roars suddenly sounded from afar.
A mass of dark clouds covering the sky appeared sweeping in the distance like a tsunami.
It was a vast expanse of darkness, with faint purple light flickering, like an unstoppable giant beast, giving people a huge sense of psychological oppression.
This is the 'cleaner' Elios, and also the watchdog of He Who Remains at the end of time!
An old man wearing a pointed helmet, a golden cape on his shoulders, and a gold and green two-color bodysuit was running desperately in front of Elios.
A green magic light lit up, and a realistic doppelganger exactly like him instantly appeared, turning around and rushing fiercely towards Elios.
At the same time, the main body waved his cape, and a cloud-like portal emitting green light appeared in front.
He quickly rushed into the rolling green portal, and then disappeared along with the portal.
The realistic doppelganger rushing towards Elios was instantly defeated and dispersed, and Elios, having lost its prey, thundered with rage and turned around unwillingly to look for the next prey.
"Bang --"
The old man who rushed out of the green portal fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and as he was about to get up, he suddenly saw a pair of feet appear in his line of sight.
The old man slowly looked up, and Samuel, looking down from above, said with a smile, "Hello there, Loki!"
