Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 642 Backboard, Capture

Quinn extended an invitation to Skye:
"You absolutely have to show me how you managed to hack into the backdoor. If you join us, I'd also like to see your superpowers."

Skye asked in confusion:
"Join what?"

Quinn explained:
"I have turned some hackers into 'white hats,' not just for vulnerability analysis, but also for creative thinking."

"Of course, more importantly, it's your status as a superhuman. As I just said, I haven't been able to recruit a suitable superhuman yet."

"You guys are really rare, even rarer than your top-notch hacking skills."

Skye exclaimed in surprise:
Are you going to offer me a job?

Quinn glanced around, then continued:

"I didn't invite you here because you're pretty."

"Of course, I want to hire you before someone else takes you away from me."

The conference then began. Quinn didn't communicate with Skye much more, but instead went up to the stage and started his speech.

Meanwhile, Skye's bone conduction headset carried May's voice:

"Looks like things are going well."

Yes, that's right.

Quinn stood on the podium and began his speech.

“Many shareholders have been with us through thick and thin for many years, and I’ve also seen some new faces.”

"But I want to thank all of you for coming from afar to this beautiful country and to experience life in Sabah Tabana."

"This country allows us to pursue progress and make profits, free from the suffocating rules that bind the world."

“The US government, the EU, the DRTC, S.H.I.E.L.D., these agencies are hindering others from developing new technologies, while allowing themselves to conduct research.”

“We dared to challenge them with new ideas, but they infiltrated and took them from us.”

“But not today. You all know what Quinn International can do with basic minerals, let alone with uranium and plutonium.”

"Although there are various unfair restrictions that tip the scales in favor of others."

"Today, I want to announce something, an element that can balance the scales."

"I mean the literal meaning."

At this moment, a new element appeared on the electronic screen beside me, which read:

"Gravium".

Atomic number 123, atomic mass 308.

At this moment, Quinn began to introduce the elements he had recently mastered, attracting everyone's attention. Skye took this opportunity to leave, intending to sneak into the manor, enter Quinn's office, and connect to the Wi-Fi on the computer inside.

Meanwhile, Coulson and Donnie Gill quietly approached the island in a kayak, and then concealed the kayak after landing.

Quinn excitedly introduced on stage: "Imagine if you could control gravity, we wouldn't need to drill for oil, the oil would just gush out on its own."

"Imagine if you could move the cargo of a supertanker with a wave of your hand."

“We can do it, and even more.”

······
Coulson said as he walked:
“This incident may have been very traumatic for Dr. Hall, and he may have changed after we found him.”

“Donnie Gill, I’ll take care of persuading him, and you’ll cooperate with me.”

Donnie Gill said, "I also admire the Doctor's theories. Don't forget that I was also a top student at S.H.I.E.L.D., just like Fitz and the others."

“But Skye can’t let us in, so even the best interpersonal skills won’t have a chance to be displayed.”

······
Skye arrived at the manor and found Quinn's office, but when she opened the door, she found all the doors locked, so she whispered:

"The door is locked, but there is no keyhole."

Inside the command center, Fitz asked, "Do you have a mini keyboard?"

Skye looked around but found no similar items: "No."

"Can you hack into a mini keyboard?"

"No, you can't do it over the phone."

Mei then asked, "Is there a reception desk?"

Skye looked to the side and saw a table in the hallway with some documents and items on it, but no one was there.

"Yes, what should I do?"

But at that moment, Quinn appeared and looked at Skye, asking, "What do you want to do?"

Skye looked at Quinn, then picked up the pen from the front desk and said:

"I just wanted to use a pen, and I found one."

"I need to write down all those good ideas, you know?"

Then he said:
"Of course you know, you probably couldn't write down all your good ideas even with ten pens."

However, Quinn did not believe Skye's words and asked again:
"What the hell are you doing?"

Skye paused for a few seconds, then said:

"Okay, you caught me."

"I want to see what's in your office and how your operations work."

Quinn stepped forward, stood before Skye, and said solemnly:

“I invited you here as a guest, but you treat me like a corrupt organization, looking for trade secrets that can be leaked online.”

He then picked up his phone and said, "Security."

Skye quickly grabbed the other person's hand and shouted:

"You should know that security guards are no use to me."

Quinn immediately fell silent. Security guards were useful to ordinary people, but they were completely useless to superhumans, especially to a contestant in the top 16 of the World Martial Arts Tournament. Moreover, given the distance between the two, Skye was in real danger if she made a move. He really hated this feeling of being out of control.

Skye saw Quinn fall silent and spoke up:
"There are so many pretentious people, you have to be careful and cautious at all times."

Skye then began writing on a piece of paper at the front desk, saying as she wrote:
"Watch your words, the secrets you're revealing."

"I hope we can be completely honest with each other, and I hope you understand what I mean."

Quinn scrutinized Skye without interrupting her actions or words, until he saw Skye pick up the paper in her hand and see that it read "S.H.I.E.L.D. is listening in."

Looking at the handwriting on Skye's paper, Quinn thought for a moment and then invited her to his office.

······
the other side.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident Tower.

After finishing his conversation with Fox, Smith Doyle returned here, and Howard Stark delivered 10 vials of super soldier serum to him.

Looking at the 10 vials of super soldier serum in the box, S.H.I.E.L.D. will spend $30 billion on this.

From Smith Doyle's perspective, the purchase price seemed a bit expensive, but if a vial of super soldier serum with no side effects were released now, it would definitely fetch more than $3 million, since it's something anyone can inject.

Although scarcity drives up prices, and the procurement of super soldier serum may decrease in the future, it won't be his money being spent, and he also owns shares in the new company that produces the super soldier serum.

After closing the box, Smith Doyle began to think about the 10 injection slots for the super soldier serum.

The first people to consider are naturally their own people, the former subordinates of the Inspectorate. Natasha has already been injected, but Barbara, Sharon Carter, and others are still ordinary people.

The remaining drugs need to be optimized for maximum effectiveness. Let me see how many missions each agent has accomplished since the new policy was announced.

Smith Doyle went through the information on the senior agents one by one, and soon his gaze fell on Coulson's team.

"Dr. Hall, Quinn Technology, Gravity Origin?"

Looking at the latest mission report uploaded by Coulson, Smith Doyle quickly recalled the plot. This wasn't about the doctor being kidnapped; rather, Hall had deliberately leaked the route and information so that Quinn could take him away.

Thinking of Dr. Hall, Smith Doyle shook his head. He wasn't like Nick Fury, who would disagree with good ideas if they were reported.

As for the Gravity King, it wouldn't be difficult to find it yourself or acquire it from Quinn. As for the arrogant King of Ten Thousand Powers, there's no need for him to exist.

With that in mind, Smith Doyle immediately wrote a note on Coulson's mission log.

"Hall himself leaked the route, deliberately allowing Quinn to kidnap him; his target is Gravity Omega."

"The rescue mission has been changed to an arrest mission."

······
In the command room.

The three listened to Skye's words.

"The environment is quite good; my former office was just a minivan."

"Wow, you can see the ocean view and the swimming pool here!"

Quinn:

"A good place to do business."

At this moment, Mei spoke up:
"We've found the extension that leaked Hall's location; the user used an alias."

Fitz suggested:
"Tracking Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol..."

"We're tracking it, but it'll take time. What about Skye?"

Simmons replied, "I thought she was dead, but she managed to get into Quinn's office with a string of sweet talk."

Mei asked in disbelief, "How did she do that?"

At that moment, Smith Doyle's mission instructions arrived, and Fitz opened them immediately.

Upon seeing that Dr. Hall himself had revealed his location, and that he had been taken away in collusion with others, the rescue mission was changed to an arrest.

"How could Dr. Hall do this?"

Mei said after seeing this:

“Nothing is impossible. Hydra was able to infiltrate, so it’s possible that he has other motives.”

"Now our task is simpler; capturing is much easier than rescuing."

"Inform Coulson and Skye that the mission has been changed."

Simmons sighed, then said, "I didn't expect Dr. Hall to have betrayed the organization as well..."

However, at that moment, the signal representing Skye on the screen suddenly cut off.

Simmons exclaimed, "Oh my god, the signal is down!"

"Fitz."

Fitz said nervously:
"What's wrong... It's not a problem on our end... It must be Skye."

However, in Quinn's office, Skye took the bone conduction headset out of her ear and threw it into a glass full of champagne, completely cutting off the signal and not receiving the mission change information in time.

"Wow, this is much better. This is the first time I've felt like someone is watching my every move since I passed my driver's license test."

Quinn looked at the contents of his glass and said:
"Do you want to explain to me what exactly happened?"

"Has S.H.I.E.L.D. contacted you?"

Skye explained:
“They caught me in Los Angeles. I hadn’t awakened my superpowers yet. I paid a price to escape and helped them deal with some crises.”

"But I am now a superhuman, and they want to recruit me."

Quill set aside the champagne glass containing the bone conduction headset and said:
"As expected, your current value is greater than you can imagine."

Skye continued:

"As for inside information, I have a bed on their plane."

"I've been gathering intelligence, waiting for the right opportunity to put it to use."

"I think this is an opportunity."

After hearing Skye's explanation, Quinn seemed thoughtful and then asked:
"They never expected you to turn against them."

······
At this moment, Coulson led Donnie Gill to the laser grid, where a sign read, 'Warning: No Entry, Deadly Radiation.'

Seeing that there was nothing in front of him, Coulson drew his dagger and threw it directly at the target.

"Hereby~"

With a hiss, a yellow laser net appeared, and the dagger that Coulson had thrown was instantly vaporized.

Seeing this, Donnie Gil spoke up:
"This power is a bit greater than I expected."

"Even my freezing abilities can't withstand this level."

Coulson frowned slightly, glanced around, and nodded, saying:

"The patrol will be here soon."

At that moment, Mei's voice came through their earpieces:

Skye has disconnected.

“Repeatedly, we lost audio and vital sign monitoring.”

Upon hearing this, Donnie Gill immediately said, "We can't give up, but what if there's something wrong with her..."

Before Donnie Cool could finish his sentence, Coulson interrupted:

"She remains our only option to rescue Dr. Hall."

"Only we can bring them out."

However, the next second, Mei continued:
"Director Smith has issued the latest mission directive: the transfer route was leaked by Hall himself, who colluded with Quinn to take him away. Now that Quinn is a traitor to S.H.I.E.L.D., the rescue mission has been changed to an arrest."

"Repeat: Hall is a traitor; the rescue mission has been changed to a capture mission."

Just then, the sound of a patrol came from behind, and a small team approached where Coulson and Donnie Gill were.

······
the other side.

Skye sat on the sofa and looked at Quinn, saying:
"You mean they're trying to win me over because I pose a threat to them, because of my status as an extraordinary being?"

Quinn began to speak:
"That's right, and you meet their standards."

Upon hearing Quinn's answer, Skye asked in confusion:
"standard?"

"That's right!"

"You're a criminal, and people outside are waiting to arrest you."

Skye said dismissively, "Maybe."

Quinn continued, "And another skill."

Skye laughed, "I was trying to be modest, but it seems I failed."

However, Quinn continued, "I have no family."

These four simple words instantly wiped the smile off Skye's face. She had found her parents with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Smith Doyle, but all of this was classified information.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rub salt in your wound, but this is one of their specialties."

“S.H.I.E.L.D. takes advantage of your fear, loneliness, and despair to provide a refuge for those who have nowhere else to turn.”

"I can give you something better."

Upon hearing Quinn's words, Skye remained silent for a long time before turning her face away and refusing to look at him again.
