The Inhumans of Earth gathered in a town called "Afterlife," a place isolated from the World. The only way to enter it was through an Inhuman with teleportation abilities who managed the transport.
The TV show did not explicitly mention the location of Afterlife, so Harry could only infer from certain details that the town was located in the Himalayas.
To be more specific, Raina was Nepalese, and it was here that she was scouted by Calvin Johnson. Johnson was not an Inhuman, just an ordinary person.
One could not enter Afterlife without permission, but he would settle and operate near it, so Afterlife should be on the southern slopes of the Himalayas.
Nepal was very poor, but recently it had gained a new historical opportunity—after the five permanent members of the Security Council joined NATO, its neighbor, India, also applied, but was rejected.
In other words, under the current political order, it was permanently relegated to the second tier.
The first tier was the Five-Nation Alliance, and the second tier was all other countries.
The joint guild of Osborn and Stark was effectively similar to the Five-Nation Alliance. Legally, its status was slightly lower, but the impact was negligible; being one level lower actually provided more freedom in certain aspects.
Osborn had invested in infrastructure, education, and medical facilities all over the World, including in Nepal.
The entire Nepalese government was lining the streets to welcome Harry's arrival.
This was a critical period for Nepal's constitutional reform. A few years ago, they abolished the monarchy, and now they were legislating to establish the position of President.
But regardless of who became this President, the investment plans of Osborn here were quite critical. In fact, whoever could get close to Osborn at this time could reverse the election, and might even influence the constitution.
If it were Norman Osborn planning to invest something here, it might be sensitive, but the Oscorp could expand as it pleased; after all, it was a legitimate multinational corporation.
After dismissing the Nepalese authorities, Coulson approached from the side:
"Interesting. You look more like a king than the former King of Nepal. What do you plan to invest in here?"
Harry shrugged: "Infrastructure, education, medical care—just that. I'm no king; I'm just helping them out in the spirit of humanitarian aid."
Infrastructure and the medical industry were already the strengths of the Oscorp.
As for education, human resources were the only thing such backward countries could provide. Those with ability would be screened out for further education, and if they met the requirements, they could work for Osborn.
If they didn't meet the requirements, they would be sent back to Nepal. As for what the Nepalese officials wanted to do with them, it was none of Harry's business; he had already done his best to help them with education.
Leaving the airport, Harry, led by Coulson, arrived at the pre-arranged restaurant.
Calvin Johnson was an elderly man over sixty, with a full head of white hair and a slightly hunched figure.
He had once been a good Doctor who provided aid to third-World countries, but unfortunately, he encountered HYDRA, and his entire life trajectory was changed.
At this moment, his eyes were still bright—but the only things supporting him were two things: one was his daughter, Skye, and the other was his hatred for Whitehall.
Harry had excellent eyesight and could see from afar that the old man seemed unnervingly energetic, so he asked Coulson:
"You didn't use Skye's name to set this up, did you?"
Coulson nodded with a mischievous smile and then shrugged: "No choice, he's only interested in that."
"Your bonus for next month is gone."
"That's illegal, sir."
"Then I'll deduct your vacation time. After this is over, go to Africa."
Ignoring Coulson's expression, Harry walked straight into the restaurant.
Seeing Harry, Karl froze. Among the people the Inhumans feared most, Harry Osborn was definitely at the top of the list!
The Oscorp's research in biotechnology was practically at an Aliens level. It was hard to believe that the Oscorp wouldn't capture him for dissection.
He stood up immediately, wanting to flip the dining table in front of him!
Bang!
Before he could take any action, Harry pressed down on the table—surprisingly, the table was of good quality and didn't crack on the spot.
"Mr. Johnson, you wouldn't want Daisy to see you like this, would you? Why don't you sit down and talk?"
Karl was clearly blinded by rage. Not only did he not accept Harry's invitation, but he shouted with a flushed face:
"Who do you think you are? Daring to use my dear Daisy to threaten me? I will definitely..."
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, another loud noise rang out. Karl was knocked to the ground and fell unconscious.
People inside and outside the restaurant began to scream. Harry looked at his fist helplessly and silently commanded Volt to burn the mobile phones of those taking pictures nearby.
This scene was seen by Skye, who was in the shadows. She rushed out and stood between the two of them.
"Wait! This isn't what we agreed on. I thought you were just going to talk?"
"It was indeed just to talk, but he doesn't seem very friendly. You'd better move aside."
Because the substance Karl injected into himself was quite peculiar, it gave him extremely high resistance to fainting and some abnormal states, and he could even be immune to the paralytic effects of cobra venom.
By now, he had already wobbled back to his feet.
"Daisy, move aside. Let Daddy finish off this guy blocking the way, and then our family can be reunited."
Hearing this, Skye was stunned: "What? Why do you want to finish him off? I..."
Before she could finish, Karl lunged at Harry. However, it was still useless. Harry kicked him against the wall with one leg, smashing deep cracks into it. The immense force made it impossible for Karl to resist.
Then, Harry took out a palm-sized disc from behind him and stuck it onto Karl. Electric arcs instantly surged throughout Karl's body, and the static electricity locked his body down, making it impossible for him to even make a sound.
"What is this? You didn't say you were here to capture my father?" Skye was already confused about the situation.
"A static cage. It can turn a person into a living statue—although I never bring bodyguards, you shouldn't think I don't carry any self-defense gadgets, right?" Harry spread his hands.
"His mental and physical state are not quite right. Carry him to a nearby hospital—you can use your employee insurance to reimburse the expenses."
After saying this, Harry left Coulson and the others behind and walked out first—the smell here was really quite strong.
Skye looked at Harry's retreating figure, then at her father on the ground, a bit unable to react:
Her biological father had started fighting with her boss the moment they met, even threatening to finish him off, only to end up lying on the ground without lasting a single round?
Her father had been captured by her boss?
Coulson patted Skye on the shoulder and said: "He is the boss. Start working—P78, it's time for you to work. Carry this gentleman to a nearby hospital."
Low footsteps came from outside the restaurant, and Ward, wearing gp armor, walked in.
As for which hospital to send him to, everyone knew it was, of course, the hospital with "Osborn" printed on it.
