"Ah—"
Wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, Skye was caught completely off guard as she slammed directly into Su Quan and fell backward onto the ground.

"H—how did he get in front of me?"
Skye looked up in shock, staring in disbelief at the mysterious man in front of her.
Just moments ago, she had witnessed the woman who had left and this man jumping down from the rooftop one after the other.
She had thought death was certain.
Yet—the man who jumped last landed first and caught the woman who had jumped first!
This was not normal!
This was extremely not normal!
Who on earth could jump from such a height and be completely fine?
And he had clearly been behind her just a second ago, yet suddenly appeared right in front of her the next second.
It was eerie like a ghost, making her feel it was utterly incredible.
"Oh no."
Skye found the other person looking at her with playful scrutiny, his gaze filled with that kind of unexpected surprise, which instantly gave her a bad prehension!
"Help—help—someone help me, help—" Skye screamed at the top of her lungs hysterically, hoping someone would hear and help her.
Su Quan looked at her 'performance' with a peculiar expression.
An orphan, a young and pretty girl wandering the streets—only by being cautious and alert at all times could she protect herself.
However—I didn't do anything, didn't say anything, yet you acted as if I were going to silence you and execute you on the spot. Wasn't that a bit over the top?
Besides, what good did shouting for help do? Although people occasionally passed through such alleys between buildings and might hear your cries, hardly anyone would poke their noses into other people's business.
It wasn't that people were cold-blooded and ruthless, but rather that they didn't want to drag themselves into it; who knew if the bad guy had a gun and would shoot?
Did you think the saying about going out with loose change was a joke?
In a life-or-death situation, you depended on others to save you? You depended on the villain showing mercy and letting you off?
What were you thinking?
You had to run!
If you ran out and survived, you profited.
If you couldn't run out, the worst-case scenario was just the same fate as staying behind.
Could you not even choose this?
"Stop shouting, no one is going to come to help you. Calm down, let's talk?" Su Quan took the initiative to step back, signaling for her to get up first.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" A strong, resonant voice unexpectedly rang out from behind Su Quan.
"..."
Did the slap to the face come this quickly?
Watching Skye, full of surprise, get up and bypass him to loudly express her gratitude for the rest of her life to the person who had saved her, Su Quan speechlessly turned around to face the 'champion of justice' holding a gun.
Wasn't this S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander-in-Chief, Level 9 agent, and Nick Fury's right-hand woman, Maria Hill!
Su Quan truly hadn't expected the unexpected helper to turn out to be her.
"You go, leave this to me." Maria Hill stared fixedly at Su Quan, signaling Skye to leave quickly.
"I—I'm going to find the police." Skye was actually quite loyal.
Maria Hill said in a deep voice, "I am the police."
"But—"
"Hurry up and go."
"Alright, thank you for saving me. You, you be careful, he—he's very dangerous."
Skye glanced at Su Quan, who showed no trace of panic, offered a pointed warning, and then turned and hurried away.
Maria Hill did not lower her gun, nor did she relax her vigilance.
It seemed her appearance wasn't entirely a coincidence. Being this cautious and alert, it looked nothing like the reaction a senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agent should have when handling such a minor case!
"Su Quan, the owner of the Anywhere Express Logistics Company's New York Branch, that's you, right?" Maria Hill asked in a deep voice.
"It's me."
Maria Hill held the gun in one hand and produced an identification card with the other: "FBI, come with me."
Did you think he didn't know the routine modus operandi of S.H.I.E.L.D. carrying out missions?
How many scapegoats the FBI had taken the blame for over all these years!
"Maria Hill, S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander-in-Chief, that's you, right?"
You knew who he was? What a coincidence, he knew who she was too!
"You guys probably don't have the abbreviation S.H.I.E.L.D. yet, so it should be the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, right?"
Maria Hill frowned as she stared at Su Quan, the vigilance in her eyes growing even thicker.
He even knew her identity; it seemed the investigation into him was still not meticulous enough, not deep enough!
"I'm curious why you investigated me?" Su Quan recalled his own actions; he shouldn't have done anything worthy of Commander-in-Chief Maria Hill's personal attention.
"I'm also curious why you would know about the Strategic Homeland—S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Maria Hill felt that the abbreviation S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed rather good and worth promoting.
"How about we switch to a quiet place and talk slowly?"
"Alright, my office is nearby. I have both tea and coffee there, and they taste pretty good."
"Too much trouble, let's keep it simple."
Su Quan waved his hand gently, and prismatic mirrors suddenly appeared in the space beside him, rippling in layers, truly astonishing.
Glancing at the dumbfounded Maria Hill, Su Quan walked straight toward the mirror, merged into it, and vanished.
"This—this—" Maria Hill blinked hard, walked over to the mirror, and tentatively reached out a hand.
Her palm sank in and disappeared.
Maria Hill forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and just as she wanted to withdraw her hand to prepare herself, her wrist was grabbed from the other side, and she was dragged right in.

On the other side, the same tall buildings, the same alley.
Dragged inside, Maria Hill stumbled to a steady footing and instinctively fired a shot at Su Quan beside her.
"Bang!"
This shot was aimed at the leg; Maria Hill wanted to create more favorable conditions for herself under the bizarre and unknown circumstances.
"Clang!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: 5 points"
Su Quan looked at the bullet-holed pant leg. Girls—looks determined destiny, figure decided life and death. Maria Hill had a good figure and good looks, so—
"Pay for the damage."
Maria Hill widened her eyes in shock. Paying for damage was fine, but could he first tell her why his leg could block bullets?
"Bang, bang, bang—bang, bang, bang—"
Maria Hill clearly didn't know how lucky she was, as she stubbornly emptied the magazine, firing several shots consecutively at Su Quan.
She shot him in the forehead, throat, heart, abdomen, and even the unspeakable places, vividly demonstrating what it meant to be brazen and presumptuous.
"Very well, this is no longer something that can be resolved by paying for damage." Su Quan's face was expressionless.
The powerful sense of oppression actually made Maria Hill, the S.H.I.E.L.D. commander-in-chief, not dare to contend with him, causing her to take a few steps back with heavy, stumbling strides.
"You—"
"Kneel, and I'll spare your life!"
Su Quan spoke coldly, his crimson pupils making him look like a terrifying demon god.
Maria Hill's throat moved as she mustered her courage to conquer her fear: "Impossible, I will absolutely never—"
"Thud!"
Su Quan stomped his foot, mimicking Master The Ancient One. The ground rolled, and a caught-off-guard Maria Hill dropped straight to her knees with a loud thud.
