Seeing Michael suddenly appear before her, Skye jumped up from her boss's chair, her face filled with surprise. "You're back on Earth!"
"Mmm-hmm."
The corners of Michael's mouth curved slightly. "Aren't you seeing it now?"
"I was just afraid you were only a projection!"
Skye hugged Michael's arm and swayed.
Seeing Skye skip over to him, embrace his arm, and shake it vigorously, Michael suddenly realized with a touch of awkwardness that at this time, Skye was truly just a young girl. Of course, even as a young girl, she was already quite developed. Speaking of which, entrusting such a large Group to Skye to manage really was a bit difficult for her. A tiny, tiny bit of guilt inevitably rose in Michael's heart.
It really was just a tiny, tiny bit... It's a good thing Skye didn't know what Michael was thinking, otherwise, she would have directly sent him flying with a Vibration Wave. Heaven knows how much Skye's worldview catastrophically changed after Michael took her from that fast-food restaurant! Her experiences in such a short time were more numerous and intense than all her experiences growing up! Heaven knows how much effort she, a teenage girl, put in to properly sit in the position of... Group CEO! Even though most of the employees in the... Group were biochemical humans produced from Michael's advanced biochemical factories and Red Alert-like barracks, and they obediently cooperated with Skye's every command, it was still too arduous for a young girl with only a high school education who had always been on the run.
No! Not just arduous! It was practically... difficult! Hardship! ...Of course, Skye was very, very, very grateful to Michael for pulling her from the vast sea of people, telling her about her background, awakening her abilities, granting her the power of a magic user, and leading her onto a more brilliant path in life! It could be said that facing Michael, Skye was completely defenseless, having fully opened her heart.
"You, you."
Michael dotingly ruffled her small head, messing up her beautiful hair. "You're already the CEO of a super transnational Group, why are you still so lively?"
"Hmph hmph."
Skye didn't mind Michael messing up her hairstyle at all. Instead, she rubbed her small head into Michael's palm, a look of enjoyment on her face. "I'm a young girl, okay? Isn't it normal to be a little lively?"
"Alright."
Michael smiled slightly. "I guess you have a point."
"Tell me, how has the... Group developed during this time? Has anything happened on Earth?"
Pulling Skye's small hand, Michael walked to a nearby sofa and sat down. "Also, how has your ability training been going?"
"Okay, okay!"
Skye obediently followed, sitting beside Michael, her small head nodding cutely. "Many things have happened on Earth during this time."
...Although Michael could learn many things from White, as White had been monitoring the entire globe.
But compared to the Transformer, Michael still chose the girl.
After a 'heart-to-heart' talk with Skye, Michael gradually understood what had happened during his absence from Earth.
Listening to Skye's narration, Michael calculated the time; it must have been when he and Odin were clashing that a major battle broke out between HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D..
There was no plot resembling Captain America 2, because Captain America was still frozen at the bottom of a certain iceberg in the North Pole! The war between HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D. was entirely due to both sides purchasing considerable intelligence from Michael, leading them directly to a decisive moment where they tore off their disguises.
Because both sides understood each other very well, this war dragged on for a long time and did not end quickly and decisively.
This war almost affected the entire globe, with even the Ancient Eastern Country being slightly impacted.
As a result, S.H.I.E.L.D. was completely shattered, instantly transforming from a top-tier violent intelligence organization on Earth into a super-crippled, trashy, ninth-rate power. Furthermore, because the pure black mark of S.H.I.E.L.D. being infiltrated by HYDRA for decades was exposed, S.H.I.E.L.D. was completely crushed by this final straw, declared an illegal organization by various countries worldwide, and instantly disbanded on the spot! HYDRA's Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. branch received the same treatment. Nick Fury, from somewhere, found a super-powered team specifically targeting the personnel mentioned in the intelligence Michael sold to S.H.I.E.L.D. for decapitation strikes, and in a short time, they were nearly crippled.
Of course, if they had truly been crippled, S.H.I.E.L.D. would not have been forced to disband later.
With Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. almost completely crippled, Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. dragged two other HYDRA branches down with them! Especially a branch specializing in cruel experiments on super-powered individuals, whose 'biological weapons' almost fought Nick Fury's super-powered team to a mutual destruction! Finally, under the crackdown of various national powers, these three HYDRA branches were all eliminated! It can be said that in the great war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA, both were losers, and the kind of super losers who even lost their lives.
Only the major powers emerged as the ultimate winners! S.H.I.E.L.D.
...and various HYDRA Scientist and research achievements were quickly divided up. Especially those rogue nations that formed the Security Council, they made a fortune in this great war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA! It was also at this time that Odin, whose Bifrost Bridge was destroyed by Michael, came to Earth to retrieve the Tesseract and incidentally destroyed the Dark Energy Base, but this matter did not attract any attention.
Firstly, S.H.I.E.L.D. was no more; it had disbanded on the spot. Secondly, the entire Dark Energy Base was enchanted with illusion magic, so ordinary people couldn't see through it.
Of course, the ... Group, which had long anticipated this outcome, also achieved significant results in the war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA! However, the ... Group did not recruit those ... combat personnel. Instead, it used the information advantage provided by White to scour S.H.I.E.L.D. and the participating HYDRA branches for Scientist.
Compared to various countries that knew about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s decades-long history of infiltration and were hesitant to recruit Scientist from both sides, the ... Group had no qualms about recruiting these Scientist. As long as they had the ability, they were hired!
