When night fell, Calvin and Skye stood on a community basketball court.
Because there were no lights here, there was no one around. The area was surrounded by trees, creating a small, hidden space.
When it was time for the meeting, nobody appeared. Calvin grew a little anxious and started muttering to himself.
Skye stopped him and comforted him in a soft voice, and Calvin gradually calmed down.
After his psychological issues were suppressed by the drug, he was indeed a good father who loved his daughter. He listened to everything Skye said.
Five minutes later, Skye suddenly stared at a certain corner of the basketball court.
A figure had suddenly appeared behind a tree, and the drone immediately alerted her.
Surprise flashed in Skyeâs eyes when she saw the familiar leather coat and black sunglasses. Thinking quickly, she suddenly thought of a possibility.
The person walked out and asked, âCalvin, is this Daisy?â
Calvin turned around warily and looked at the tall man in the leather coat. âWho are you?â
The person said, âJiaying asked me to pick the two of you up, provided that this really is her daughter.â
Calvin asked, âYour ID?â
The person said, â8872.â
......
Calvin was relieved.
July 2, 1988. That was Skyeâs birthday, which Calvin and Jiaying had set as a code for the both of them.
Only then did he put his hand on Skyeâs shoulder and answer the personâs question. âThis is Daisy, my daughter. You are?â
âIâm Gordon.â The person smiled stiffly at Skye. âSo, youâre her daughter.â
Many thoughts flashed through Skyeâs mind, but in the end, she simply hummed in acknowledgment.
Calvin found that odd. âYou know each other?â
Gordon looked at him strangely. âWe met once.â
Also, Luke almost broke your balls!?
Skye added inwardly.
This Gordon was the man in the coat who had gone to the relief shelter to catch Emma and her sons during the community party.
More importantly, this guyâs superpower was teleportation.
Skye was very smart. The moment she saw Gordon, she connected the dots.
Jiaying had superpowers, and Gordon was from some superpower organization, Afterlife.
Jiaying didnât come to meet the father and daughter. Instead, she had Gordon pick them up since Gordon could teleport.
It was undoubtedly very safe for Gordon, who could teleport here and take people with him.
Gordon had come out a few minutes late, clearly to see if there was any danger around.
Skye had only seen Luke almost kick Gordon to death, and didnât know that the Dark Knight had fought Gordon once after that.
Gordon was unwilling to go to New York or New Jersey, for fear of being set up by the Bat Squad in New York, which was why he chose Europe.
Teleportation wasnât an invincible ability, and Gordon had to be very careful.
Otherwise, Tony wouldnât have been able to use the space obstruction device to take down the Enchantress.
After Gordon grabbed both father and daughterâs hands and disappeared from the basketball court, a transparent shadow smiled in the dark. âTime to visit my warehouse of abilities.â
As he spoke, faint light spurted out of the shadowâs back, and it charged east.
This was the Level 1 clone that was secretly following them.
After hearing the name Jiaying from Calvin, Luke immediately remembered the leader of the Inhumans whom Emma had mentioned before.
The leader was also called Jiaying, and was also an Asian woman.
Also, Luke had a rough guess that Afterlife was somewhere in Nepal.
That was in line with the theory that Jiaying was Chinese.
It was only there that the Inhumans could avoid American surveillance and not be under the supervision of Chinese organizations.
So, Afterlife had always kept a low profile.
That was because it was just small fry. If it stood out too much, it would easily fall.
Looking at the way Skyeâs signal completely vanished on the virtual screen, Luke curled his lip. âSure enough, theyâre very careful.â
On the other side, Skye and Calvin arrived inside a room in a flash.
The room was done up in an antiquated style and had a lot of objects with an Eastern charm, but there were no windows.
Gordon let go of their hands and said, âOkay, please wait here a moment.â
Saying that, he walked out a door.
A few minutes later, the door opened again, and a womanâs voice rang out. âCome out, both of you.â
Skye and Calvin looked at each other and walked through the door.
Behind the door wasnât the outside world, but a small room that looked like a hall.
After the door closed, the woman warned, âThis is a routine sterilization process. Donât panic.â
As she spoke, the silver room lit up with countless fine white lines.
Skye frowned; there was an unpleasant smell of burning.
She took out her phone from her pocket. The smell of burning became even more obvious.
Noticing her movements, Calvin asked in a low voice, âWhatâs wrong?â
Skye shook her head. âI think my phone is broken.â
Stumped, Calvin took out his phone, only to discover that it couldnât be turned on either. âWhatâs going on?â
Skye put her phone away and didnât say anything else.
The white light flashed for half a minute before it finally faded, and another door opened.
Excited, Calvin strode out.
Skye didnât stop him and simply followed silently.
There were three stone steps outside the door, and a middle-aged woman stood at the bottom. She looked at them with a smile.
She had braided hair and was wearing a Chinese-style gown. She had an oval face and beautiful eyes.
It was a pity that her face was marred by twisted scars.
Calvin paused, then trembled. âJiaying, are you alright?â
Jiaying looked at him and nodded with a smile. âCalvin, long time no see.â
Calvin hesitated. âYes, yes, itâs been more than ten yearsâŠâ
Jiaying looked at Skye and smiled brightly. âDaisy?â
Skye struggled to suppress her excitement. âYes.â
Jiaying stepped forward and pulled her into her arms. âThank you, fate, for returning you to me.â
Skyeâs eyes turned red and her mind was in a mess, but she couldnât help but hug Jiaying tightly. âYes, thank you, fate.â
What followed was a family reunion.
In a quiet compound, the three of them chatted as they ate.
However, it was Calvin and Skye who talked more. Jiaying only said that she lived here in seclusion and rarely left.
There was naturally nothing much to say about a secluded life.
After dinner, Jiaying arranged rooms for the father and daughter and told them to rest early.
Watching her leave, Skye closed the door and looked around the room.
