Phil smiled bitterly and didn't want to hide anything. "You know that" bigshot "who likes to sell things, right?"
Luke raised an eyebrow. "You mean he asked you to ask for Skye?"
Phil quickly shook his head. "No. I just want to tell you that the old S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed, but the people it offended are still around, and many of them are superhumans. Fortunately, the bigshot sold us a lot of powerful equipment, or the new S.H.I.E.L.D. would still be besieged by these vengeful people. "
Luke couldn't help but laugh. "So, you want a girl who's only been stable for two years to be your fighter?"
Phil kept smiling. "She's lived under the protection of that team of agents for more than ten years. She's trustworthy …"
Luke waved his hand angrily. "That's enough. She's already an adult. If you want to recruit her, go ahead. But let me say this first: don't use her background as an excuse. "
Phil: "… We didn't find any exact information on her background. That team of agents has been dying in recent years. The last person who died said that someone was targeting them and trying to find Skye. "
Luke was speechless for a moment. After all this time, his uncle had already used a combination skill.
The mystery of her background and her identity as a pursuer. As long as Phil played the good guy the whole time and provided help, he might really be able to fool Skye.
That's right, this was a trick.
It wasn't the first time Luke had done the same thing. It was just that he had a longer time to set it up, and it was less likely to arouse the other party's dislike.
If Phil really fooled Skye, it actually wouldn't be a big deal.
As a staunch supporter of long-term investments, Luke was confident that Skye would always be on his side.
Even if she really went to the new S.H.I.E.L.D., she would just be the next Phil or Tony.
Would she refuse if Luke asked?
Speaking of which, the relationship between the new S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers and the Bat Squad was very subtle.
That was because their top leaders were considered half members of the Bat Squad.
Luke's favor, coupled with the benefits that bound them to each other, would make them firmly on Luke's side.
Thanks to the favor and benefits, even Nick Fury, Natasha, and Hawkeye, who were used to scheming, couldn't bear to fall out with Luke, let alone the innocent Skye.
After receiving Luke's "recruitment" permission, Phil relaxed and carefully shared the other information on Skye's background.
It was only then that Luke realized that Skye's host family would change every one or two years. It was the work of the agents who protected her to avoid being hunted down by a certain force.
Phil speculated from various small clues that the pursuer was probably a branch of Hydra.
Luke agreed with this speculation, because some of their methods and habits were very similar to Hydra's.
After the discussion, Phil wanted to leave.
Luke, however, forced him to stay for a proper dinner before letting him go.
Phil was helpless, but he could only accept it.
After he sat down at the table and ate a sumptuous dinner, he suddenly felt a little sour when he saw Luke sitting at the head of the table, Selina sitting across from him, and the dog head diagonally across from him.
Many years ago, Phil had also participated in the family dinner of the male and female owner + family + pet, but the male and female owners would no longer appear in front of him.
The three of them chatted casually during the meal, and Phil even drank two bottles of beer, which was rare.
God knows how long it has been since he last had a drink like this since he became the bureau chief.
Strong alcohol would affect his judgment and delay his work, so it wasn't suitable for him to drink.
It was boring to drink beer alone. Everyone in the bureau would be very busy. Those who could drink with him were either not in the mood or didn't have the time.
However, when the one-hour reminder on his watch rang out, Phil resisted the urge to part and got up to leave.
Luke, Selina and Gold Nugget saw him off.
When they crossed the hall, Luke hugged him goodbye. "Work never ends. Come back for dinner when you're free."
Phil smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "I'll try my best."
He then waved goodbye to Selina, who was standing behind him. Selina smiled back.
In the end, Gold Nugget, who was sitting next to him, also raised a front paw and waved at him. "Woof, woof, woof."
Phil could only wave back. "Next time, I'll bring you royal dog food. Hm, the gold kind. "
Gold Nugget: "…"
Luke: "…"
Selina: "…"
…
Since Phil had given Phil a chance to trick Skye, Luke didn't immediately send the information to Skye.
As a nephew, he couldn't reveal Phil's trump card in advance, could he? Phil's hairline had risen by another 0.5 millimeters.
He still had to protect his uncle's hairline, which even the Kunlun Qi Refinement Technique couldn't save.
Besides, Phil had already rushed over, and she would know everything in two or three days.
Sure enough, on the third day, Skye sent Luke a message to confirm Phil's identity.
Luke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Great, this uncle was quite something. He was using his tiger's skin to poach Skye.
But, what could this do?
He gave Skye an affirmative answer, and told her not to rush and to think carefully before making a choice.
No matter where she was, he would always be her strong support.
On the other side, Skye was reassured that Luke hadn't given up on her, but she didn't know that someone was secretly laughing.
As long as she was willing, wouldn't she be an undercover agent that the Justice Alliance had placed in the new SHIELD?
Luke had thought that this was the end of the matter.
Phil hadn't been able to fool Skye right away, and simply accompanied her to track down the clues from back then.
No one knew more about finding clues about 084 than an old SHIELD director. Besides, Phil could also access the old SHIELD's confidential database.
But at the beginning of May, Phil called. "Luke, Skye's in a bit of trouble."
Luke found that odd. "What's wrong?"
Phil said, "We found a man who claims to be her father."
Luke was surprised. "What?"
This progress was too impressive. Even finding her biological father in ten days wouldn't be written like this.
Phil said, "I obtained a bit of his blood. After testing, this man is indeed Skye's biological father."
Luke asked, "What's the trouble?"
Phil said, "… He's a violent black-market doctor. The first time we found him, he was so impatient that he slit the throats of two hoodlums who were treating him. "
Luke frowned.
This really wasn't good news. No one wanted their friend to have such a dangerous father. What if he slit Skye's throat in a hurry?
"What do you think?" Luke tossed the problem to Phil.
If he wanted to recruit Skye, he would have to take on some trouble.
After a brief silence, Phil said, "I'm considering whether to control her father first and have Skye accompany him for treatment until the situation gets better."
Luke curled his lip.
That was a good plan.
Skye's father was being treated under the control of the new SHIELD, so it would be hard for them not to be close.
Pondering for a moment, Luke agreed to Phil's plan. "Okay. But I'll get a psychiatrist to confirm her father's condition right away. "
Phil naturally had no objections. Luke had given him a lot of convenience, and he had to give his nephew face.
