Ke Chen Is a Scumbag?

Carol opened the door to the room, still somewhat puzzled along the way. The moment she saw the arrangement inside, she understood.

She turned to look at Ke Chen with a strange expression.

"We had to come to a place like this to find communication equipment?"

Ke Chen replied calmly, "We can also do some other things."

"This might make your movements on Earth more convenient."

Carol was no fool. Naturally, she knew what Ke Chen wanted.

But Ke Chen was right. It might indeed make her mission easier.

Most importantly, Ke Chen was handsome.

Truly charming Eastern men were quite popular here, and Carol's taste was hardly that unusual.

After Ke Chen's mix of coercion and temptation, she nodded. "Then I need to wash up first."

And so, the deal was made.

Ke Chen immediately smiled. "Earth's water resources are scarce. Some places lack water all year round, so we can't waste it."

While Carol entered the bathroom, he followed her straight in.

Since they were both willing, what came next happened naturally.

Ke Chen practiced breaking tight defense while holding the ball with both hands, a skill that had to be mastered on the basketball court. It proved his one-on-one game was flawless; Captain Marvel Carol was clearly no match for him in a duel.

Under his skillful offense, she was immediately driven back again and again, unable to defend the basket.

It had to be said, the basketball was sturdy—and quite large.

After their workout, Carol's skin had turned a little red. She lay weakly on the sofa, fiddling with the phone.

She connected her communications chip to it, and after working at it for a long while, finally linked to a signal in space.

Soon, she began reporting her situation to Yon-Rogg.

At this point, she still did not know that Yon-Rogg was the true culprit—the greatest traitor—and had been manipulating her all along.

Before Carol could think further, she was controlled by another great villain.

She had been reporting something to Rogg when her voice suddenly vanished.

"Vers? Vers? Are you still there?"

"Hey! Vers!"

Carol had no mood to respond to the voice coming through the phone.

She had only casually draped herself in a bath towel, and Ke Chen had started practicing his ball skills again.

A ray of morning sunlight shone into the room, and Carol woke from her sleep.

She immediately sat up in bed and warily looked around.

There was still some warmth beside her, but that scumbag Ke Chen was already gone.

Carol got out of bed and saw a note on the table beside her.

"An Earth-based organization will come looking for you later. I have to leave first."

"Until we meet again, Vers."

Looking at the words on the note and feeling the discomfort in her body, Carol immediately cursed Ke Chen as a scumbag.

Only now did she realize that she did not even know Ke Chen's name, yet she had muddleheadedly played an impromptu basketball game with him.

Although... his ball skills really were quite good.

Even after it was over, Carol still found herself savoring the memory.

It was a pity Ke Chen was an Earthling. Otherwise, they could have had something long-term.

"No, this isn't the time to think about that. I need to find the Skrulls."

Only then did Carol remember her mission. She had nearly lost the motivation to search for the Skrulls.

Just as she finally managed to put on her combat suit, there was a knock on the door.

The outfit was easy to take off, but truly troublesome to put on, mainly because it was too tight.

"Who is it?"

The moment Carol opened the door, she saw several people standing outside. Leading them was a Black man, with an honest-looking white man in sunglasses behind him.

For some reason, just looking at him made her feel that he was very honest.

"Hello, ma'am."

Nick Fury spoke. "Have you seen a woman who fell from the sky?"

"Sorry, no."

Carol replied without changing her expression and immediately tried to close the door.

Nick Fury promptly blocked it, or she really might have gotten away.

"Is it possible that woman was you?"

He looked at Carol, who was pretending to be calm.

Carol was indeed a little embarrassed.

She said, "Didn't you already know who I am? Didn't he tell you?"

"He?"

Nick Fury was immediately curious.

Ke Chen had been far too careful. He had not left behind a single trace.

He had not even used his driver's license to rent the room!

"That's right. You didn't know?"

Carol came to her senses. No wonder Ke Chen had left; these local organizations probably did not know he existed.

So she continued, "My name is Vers. I'm a member of the Kree Empire's Starforce..."

"Can you tell me about him? He knew your identity?"

Nick Fury's curiosity practically exploded.

Who exactly was this person?

"Sorry, classified."

Carol understood now and did not want to reveal information about her partner.

Not even what Ke Chen looked like.

"Then how do you prove what you're saying is true?"

Nick Fury changed tactics.

Yet he could not make sense of Carol's behavior at all.

Then he looked at the messy traces in the room, and a suspicion arose in Nick Fury's mind.

Could this woman, who looked none too bright, have been tricked?

That was really miserable. She had been deceived in both body and heart...

That man had to be a scumbag! He had even fooled such an innocent girl!

Just as he was thinking that, Carol suddenly turned around and fired an energy blast into the distance.

This completely shattered Nick Fury's worldview.

What was going on?

Just as Carol fully set off on the road to find the Skrulls, Ke Chen was already driving his Dodge Challenger toward New York.

If it had been someone else, he might have stepped in to help.

But Captain Marvel... clearly did not need his help.

More importantly, Homeland Security, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. with that whole mess of troublesome names, had already set its sights on her.

So Ke Chen could only play the "scumbag" once and immediately disappear from before her.

That deep exchange had definitely left a profound impression on her.

Maybe she would come to Earth often in the future.

Honestly, Ke Chen had not had enough fun yet, but time waited for no one.

Still, he had confirmed what his tastes had become.

First, she had to be beautiful, and she needed the bonus of status too. It did not seem like such a high bar.

After all, having come to the Marvel world, would it not be a wasted transmigration if he did not have some deep exchanges with these heroes and villains?

He had already become Black Widow's godfather, so influencing this world a little more was no big deal.

He just did not know whether the Ancient One, who had the hairstyle of a fellow powerhouse, had noticed him.

Otherwise, he could be even more reckless.

After crossing Pennsylvania, Ke Chen arrived in New York City.

New York, known as the world's largest city and the center of the global economy, possessed astonishing wealth.

But beneath that glamorous surface lay filth that many people chose to ignore.
