Skye's protector had already arrived (update 1/3)

Watching the van drive away, Shazo acted as if nothing had happened.

He returned to his police car and continued his patrol.

But Shazo's heart was filled with surprise and joy. Just a moment ago, he saw the chat box on his laptop screen, which was still open, and saw the girl's online name.

It was a simple word – "Skye".

Using this name as a clue, and referring to the girl's obviously mixed Eastern and Western features, her delicate features could not be concealed even by her malnourished and sallow skin.

Shazo immediately thought of one person: a stunningly beautiful woman.

Skye! Quake! Daisy Jensen!

Yes, based on the clues currently available, Shazo connected them to a lot of information about the future and guessed that the girl's identity was most likely that of the Quake Daisy Jensen.

Skye is her common name, and also a nickname used by her close friends.

Skye is a descendant of the Huaxia Inhumans and the United States People. After the Battle of New York, she was arrested by Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D.. due to the carelessness of her fellow hackers.

Skye was later persuaded by Coulson to join S.H.I.E.L.D..'s special operations team in order to clear her name, becoming a field agent without any training.

After S.H.I.E.L.D.. became Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D.., he followed Phil Coulson in rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D.. and eventually became S.H.I.E.L.D. director.

Skye's nickname is "Quake" because she possesses powerful Vibration Ability and is a member of the Inhumans Royal Family.

In a parallel Universe, Skye's vibrational power was so strong that it could even tear the entire Earth apart, like Gods capable of destroying the world.

In short, if the girl is indeed Skye, then she is a highly talented individual with Wenwu, possessing immense potential and capable of supporting a large organization.

Shazo believes that since fate has brought Skye into his life, he shouldn't let this talent slip away.

If Heaven gives you something and you don't take it, you will suffer the consequences.

Shazo immediately decided that she was the one.

Skye hasn't yet demonstrated any significant Hacking, nor has she been targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D.., so the risk of recruiting her is practically zero.

Moreover, enhancing Skye isn't particularly difficult.

Mr. Shazo is wealthy, though not as much as "Money Man" Black Bat, but enough to recommend Skye to study at a regular university, allowing her Hacking to develop faster, better, and more comprehensively.

Shazo also knows the whereabouts of the Obelisk. With enough preparation, he can get it from S.H.I.E.L.D.., activate Skye's Inhumans potential, and Awakening her powerful Vibration Ability.

Skye's loyalty is also easy to guarantee.

Although she had both parents, her life from childhood was no different from that of an orphan.

It is certain that she craved family and love, which is why she was so easily won over by the Hydra agent.

Love!

Shazo pulled back the sun visor, revealing a small mirror inside. He looked at himself, nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad, he's quite handsome.

Combined with financial power, that's enough to attract young girls.

Besides, Shazo can help Skye find her father and mother. I don't believe that a mere girl like Skye can withstand such repeated attacks without falling for him.

As for whether Shazo would feel guilty for taking advantage of a young girl's love, is that even a question?

It's ridiculous. Skye is already very pretty, even though she's thin and pale. If we recruit her and raise her well for a few years, she'll definitely grow into the great beauty we remember. Even if we don't eat her, she'll still be pleasing to the eye.

Nurturing and cultivating a girl with potential, ultimately leading to a beautiful and talented wife – what a perfect real-life bishoujo (Beautiful Girl -raising) game!

Shazo would never refuse.

He wanted to hire a hacker because he felt his intelligence capabilities were insufficient, but to be honest, in New York, his intelligence network was unparalleled.

Shazo's marksmanship was superb, and he was the best fighter in the entire Police Department. All his male colleagues admired him.

He was handsome and tall, witty and humorous, and gentle and considerate. Especially after sharing Swift Style, he became the best lover for female police officers.

Shazo was not only rich but also generous. Colleagues who encountered financial difficulties and asked him for help were never disappointed.

At the police station, it was very easy for him to obtain information.

Officer Shazo Dawson dialed the number. "Hi, Baby Mickey, help me find information on a girl."

"Yes, yes, her name is Skye, that's her online chat name, I'm not sure if it's her real name."

"Thanks, darling. Looking forward to your intelligence."

"What? You're going to deliver it to me personally?"

"Oh~~ Hehehe, no problem, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Mua!"

After hanging up with the female head of the archives, Shazo put on a different smile and dialed another number, "Li, help me find information about a girl."

"License plate number NYC-1672, find where it's parked tonight."

"Hehehe, of course I believe you. The famous Mister Negative will definitely have a way to find it."

"Okay, let's have tea together next time."

Yes, Shazo also has extensive connections and intelligence channels within the underworld, so finding a missing girl in New York City would be no problem at all.

After a few phone calls, Shazo quickly obtained a wealth of information from colleagues, friends, lovers, and gang leaders, and figured out Skye's basic intelligence.

Skye escaped from the orphanage three years ago and has been living on the streets ever since.

The reason for her escape was simple: Skye had grown big enough.

Because she inherited her mother's bloodline, she was both extremely Luck and unlucky to be very beautiful.

Fortunately, she suffered from severe malnutrition as a child, which caused stunted growth and sallow skin, making her look like a bean sprout. This helped her get through the most helpless period of her childhood.

When Skye turned 12, her bloodline began to kick in, and her features became clearer and more vibrant. She knew then that she had to run away.

If they don't escape that Hell orphanage, they will suddenly disappear like many other young women and men, falling into an unknown but even more terrifying Hell.

What exactly happened during his three years of wandering, Shazo had no way of knowing.

But Skye not only survived unharmed, but also learned a lot, such as car repair and computer and network technology.

Judging from online feedback, Skye is a newcomer and not a highly skilled or experienced hacker, but he works very hard and is able to earn enough to make a living.

However, it's only enough to barely make ends meet; Skye is still very poor and can't afford even the cheapest apartment.

She could only live in that dilapidated-looking van, which, according to the traffic police records, had long been scrapped.

If nothing unexpected happens, Skye will steal the car from the junkyard himself, collect the parts, and repair it until it's usable.

This girl's practical skills are quite remarkable; even Shazo feels inferior to her.

At dinner time, Shazo received a call from Mister Negative, informing him that Skye's parking spot for the evening was a free parking lot near Pier Six.

He rubbed his aching lower back and couldn't help but whistle.

The free parking lot near Pier 6 is hardly a pleasant place.

Late at night, Shazo changed into plain clothes, drove his car, and arrived at the parking lot of Pier Six.

At that moment, a shootout between gangsters was taking place in the parking lot, with Pistol and submachine guns firing wildly, and bullets flying everywhere.

This is the third shooting incident tonight.

Shazo touched his nose, skillfully drove around the area of firefight, and searched for his target in the desolate, dark parking lot.

The parking lot was large and filled with cars, but the vast majority of them were abandoned vehicles. Shazo's night vision helped him easily conduct the search.

He found Skye's repaired, wrecked van without much effort.

Skye carefully parked the car in the corner of the parking lot, with large abandoned vehicles on both sides. A hood panel, which seemed to have been deliberately towed over, was used to cover the rear of the car.

Even the front of the car was covered with a tattered fishing net by Skye, creating an excellent camouflage that would be easily overlooked if one wasn't looking carefully.

Perhaps it was because of Shazo's arrival that Skye's luck was completely exhausted.

The third shooting incident involved a deal between two gangs, which turned out to be a double-cross by the local New York gang, who wanted the money, the goods, and even the lives of the perpetrators.

But not every powerful dragon can cross the river; the foreign gang members are highly elite and exceptionally fierce in combat.

Despite being outnumbered, the out-of-town gang managed to kill more than a dozen of their members.

Not only were their goods not stolen, but they even managed to steal the cash behind their backs and then fled in a frenzy.

The local gang came to set a trap, but ended up getting killed and robbed of all their money.

Only a thin layer of real money was in the box; the rest was counterfeit. Even if it were stolen, the loss wouldn't be significant.

But with so many of their own men dead, the loss of face would be too great. If they couldn't get revenge, reclaim the goods, sell them to pay compensation, the entire gang would almost certainly fall apart.

As the leader of a group, it's rare for them to have a peaceful end when the group breaks up.

The gang leader didn't want to break up, nor did he want to die. Plus, his side had more men and guns, and was clearly stronger, so he naturally refused to give up.

Thus began a fierce car chase in the pitch-black parking lot, and the area affected by the battle quickly expanded.

Unfortunately, Skye's car was hit by several stray bullets.

Two of the bullets hit the car door and window respectively. The thin sheet metal and ordinary glass could not stop the bullets. The sound of bullets whistling filled the carriage. The girl was so frightened that she could only curl up in the carriage and desperately pray that she would not be hit by stray bullets.

Given Skye's financial situation, even if she were to suffer a minor gunshot wound, she wouldn't have a chance to recover.

Skye prayed with all her heart. "Whoever it is, please protect me from harm, please, protect me!"

"Please, protect me, sob sob----"

The girl dared not utter a sound, but could only pray silently and shed tears quietly.

She knew it was dangerous here, otherwise she wouldn't have parked the car in this spot and made such elaborate disguises.

But those stray bullets told her that her efforts were laughable and that her life was not in her own hands.

But Skye had no regrets; she would still park here tomorrow because it was the safest free parking lot she could find.

If Skye doesn't park here, she'll either have to drive all night on the street or park in a paid parking lot, neither of which she can afford.

However, if she parks on the relatively safe side of the road, she will be frequently stopped and checked by the police, and the tickets issued by the patrol officers will cost more than the parking fee or gas money.

And if she encounters a police officer who doesn't understand the law and insists on checking her ID, driver's license, and vehicle insurance, then she's really in trouble.

As a minor, Skye will be forcibly sent back to the Main Gate of the juvenile Hell, where she will fall into the Muken.

If she parks on an unsafe roadside, nighttime vagrants will smash the car window and steal everything she owns, including her clothes, and even her life.

They may even suffer inhuman torture before they die.

Skye had no choice; even though bullets were always flying around, she was stuck in this free parking lot.

All she can do now is pray, begging for some being to protect her.

Skye was unaware that her protector had arrived and was nearby.

When Shazo saw the occupied units spreading, he had a bad feeling, so he stopped the car and put his hand on the car safe.

Inside were his registered Glock Pistol, three fully loaded magazines, and a body camera.

But after tapping his fingers on the safe a few times, Shazo ultimately gave up on taking out his weapon.

This is also New York territory, but it's not his own patrol area; he doesn't have priority in law enforcement here.

The consequences of firing the gun would be countless reports, interrogation-like questioning, grueling psychological examinations, and facing the NYPD.

The Anti-Corruption Police Investigation Committee, the natural enemy of the police.

Shazo felt increasingly disgusted as he thought about it, and his fingers left the safe as if he had been electrocuted.

Instead of ending the firefight with bullets, he used [Magnetic Control] to create a thick Electromagnetic Force around Skye.

[Electromagnetic Deflection Field]

Centered on Skye's curled-up body, there are seven layers of rapidly rotating electromagnetic fields.

Any bullet entering the force field will be deflected from its original trajectory by the high-speed rotating magnetic field, gliding past the girl without harming her.

His protective measures were definitely worthwhile.

As the two sides in the gunfight drew closer, the untrained local gangsters fired indiscriminately, and the unpredictable shooting made it impossible for even Shazo to make a 100% accurate judgment.

He had to concentrate fully, Electromagnetic Force to deflect bullets that might fly toward Skye.

Even though Shazo was more focused on attacking Melissa Fortress, oversights still occurred.

Because of their low quality, these people sometimes do unexpected things.

As a bumbling gangster changed his magazine and stuck his hand out of the car window to fire, his Uzi submachine gun accidentally discharged after hitting the window, emptying its 30-round magazine in just 2.1 seconds.

At least five bullets hit Skye's van.

Shazo was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He was then thankful for his foresight in protecting Skye beforehand, thus preventing the tragedy of her being injured by stray bullets.

The initial fear and relief faded, replaced by annoyance and dissatisfaction— Shazo's dissatisfaction with himself.
