Purpose of the Meeting?

"Ah, it's that Druig kid's fault. He always thinks he can make sure everything is perfect, but his arrogance always manages to mess things up," Kingo said with dissatisfaction.

Henry smiled and said, "It seems to be true. There are records of rumors about ' Eternity ' all over the world. But those are all unofficial histories, anecdotes and such, without any solid evidence to prove them."

"Then I heard about a film family in India, with five generations of only one son, and that the family members all looked like they were cut from the same mold. I wondered if it was the same situation. And it was related to ' Eternity '."

"Mr. Karun Patel happened to be visiting, so I tentatively asked, 'You live like this, doesn't anyone really notice?'"

Kingo feigned displeasure. "How could there not be? I've had people mistake me for Vampires and try to stab me in the heart with a knife."

The fat butler standing to the side broke out in a cold sweat and said nervously, "Master, didn't you forgive me and say you were willing to forget that incident?"

I have apologized for this countless times.

"Haha, my good servant, I'll forget about this one day. Don't worry. But until then, can't I say how presumptuous you mortals are?"

Although one side appeared aggressive and the other timid and uneasy, Henry saw it all as a performance by this master and servant, a complex mix of love and conflict.

After the boastful performance, Kingo turned to him and asked, "You came all this way to see me, what do you want?"

"Well, to be honest, I haven't thought about this carefully. Because I didn't expect you to be willing to meet me."

"Why not? After all, you mentioned another magical word that has piqued my interest. ' Krypton,' is that it? Could you tell me what it is?"

Henry's gaze drifted to Karun Patel, who was present. Kingo, defending his portly butler, said, "Don't worry, he's tight-lipped. At least you didn't see him gossiping about me."

With a nonchalant shrug, Henry said, "Well, hopefully Mr. Patel will keep this a secret, as it involves a secret United States. intelligence unit."

Henry was referring, of course, to the Captain Marvel awakening incident, and how he was suddenly targeted by the Skrulls and thus drawn into the event.

He mentioned that he was Kryptonian certified by the Skrulls, and learned about "Krypton" from both the Skrulls and the Kree.

"So I wanted to ask, do you know anything about Krypton?" Henry asked.

"You said you're Krypton orphan?" Kingo didn't doubt for a second that Henry was making this up. Because terms like "Skrulls," "Kree," and "Kryptonian" weren't things that ordinary Earthlings could invent.

"That's what the Skrulls said. But I was indeed alone, thrown onto Earth." Henry glossed over his experience in the Red Empire's laboratory.

Kingo said, "I do know about the Skrulls, the Kree, and the Kryptonian. But Krypton information only existed for a short period in the history of the universe. So what I know isn't more than what you already know."

"Alright." Henry was slightly disappointed. But this also confirmed that the Eternals had never dealt with Krypton. The Skrulls, their enemies, were the Skrulls most familiar with Krypton.

"Is there anything else I can do to help you?" Kingo asked.

"What else do I need?" Henry asked himself.

What he coveted most was the technology of the Eternals, because it might have originated from the technological path of the Celestials.

But once he opened the floodgates, the stench of ill intent wafted out, and Henry wasn't even sure if he could come up with anything worthwhile.

What If...? the Eternals' technology were something Henry absolutely needed to acquire, Henry would naturally have a plan. But this thing is actually just an add-on, something dispensable. Would it be a waste of this friendly start to ask for it?

Just as Henry, Kitty, who had been very well-behaved, stood up and wandered around the tent.

This unease also affected Henry. "What's wrong?"

"Roar."

I need to pee.

"Oh." Well, that's important. Henry stood up and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Kingo, where's the toilet? My pet needs to take care of something. You wouldn't want a carnivore relieving itself in your tent, would you?"

"Actually, I'm used to it. But if you need to go to the restroom, Karun, please take our guest there."

Kingo made a helpless expression that was both amused and exasperated, which startled Henry!

For the Eternals to say they're "used to it," just how formidable must the people of Hindustan be?

Having once again taken on the role of a pet owner, Henry suddenly realized that he should hurry up and rebuild the BB series of core robots. Otherwise, the task of cleaning would fall on his shoulders.

Upon returning, Kingo asked curiously, "You can understand what the Tiger means? Did you raise this Tiger from a cub?"

"This is a tiger stripe—never mind, never mind." Henry couldn't keep up the charade and continued, "Although I raised her from a kitten, I understand Kitty's thoughts; it's a little device I made myself."

"Kitty, come here." Calling to his adorable pet, Henry fiddled with the external device on his ear. "This is a device that can analyze Tiger's brainwaves and roars to understand its meaning."

"I used a special sound frequency band to ensure that ordinary people couldn't hear it; only I could hear Kitty's voice analysis results. This device can also, conversely, translate human language into sounds that Tiger can understand. However, for now, it only works in English."

Kingo said, "Oh, no wonder I heard that strange whistling sound. It was this little thing making it."

Because the external device is attached behind its ear, switching it on requires a rather tricky method to prevent accidental activation by others or by Kitty's own actions. This caused the big cat some discomfort.

Unhappily shaking her ears, Kitty growled in protest, "It tickles, you stupid two-legged creature!"

Kitty, having backed away, wagged her tail and paced around, seemingly looking for a place to sit. Henry could only ask again, "What's wrong with you now?"

"Isn't there anywhere to Sun Pharma here? I've been stuck in this tiny room with the air conditioning on all day, and it Deadman everywhere."

My nose was practically crooked from the smell. It got even weirder after we got here. There wasn't a single place where I could properly rest.

In reality, what came out of the Tiger's mouth was just a low roar, as if it were rolling in its throat. A normal person would not be able to perceive the Tiger's true intention from such a sound. At most, they could sense the contempt in its eyes.
