Luke's clone arrived very quickly.
The level-one clone had been farming points in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia recently.
Skye and the others were in Charleston, the largest city in West Virginia.
America had a high rate of places with the same name. The largest city in South Carolina was also called Charleston.
These two "largest cities in the state", Charleston, had a common characteristic, which was that they had very few people. Neither of them had more than 100,000 people.
This was the common characteristic of these two states. South Carolina had a population of five million, while West Virginia only had a population of two million.
This was the backwater of America, which made it easy for Phil to keep an eye on people.
Charleston, which only had tens of thousands of people, was surrounded by uninhabited mountains and wastelands.
Unless Skye's father had a nano armor or a superpower that allowed him to run hundreds of kilometers without driving, it would be very difficult for him to slip away without a trace.
At that moment, Phil was standing not far away with a helpless expression. "Mr. V, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"
Luke leaned forward slightly and sized up a certain middle-aged man who was sprawled out on the chair. He said indifferently, "It's just a small amount of sedative to ensure that there won't be any physical altercations."
Phil couldn't refute him, and could only curse inwardly, You rushed in and shot him with a shot, not giving him time to react. It would be strange if there was a conflict!
Luke didn't care what his dear uncle was cursing. His attention was focused on the middle-aged man in front of him.
The man looked to be in his forties. He had an unshaven beard and his hair was messy and knotted.
He was wearing an old-fashioned suit that was only slightly better than a tramp's. Who knew how long it had been since he changed out of it, and it reeked.
His eyes were lifeless … Hm, that was because he had been sedated. However, his eyes were heavy and bloodshot. It was clear that he hadn't gotten much rest.
After sizing up the man for about a minute, Luke asked, "Skye is your daughter?"
The middle-aged man said, "Yes."
Luke asked, "What's your name?"
The middle-aged man said, "Calvin Zabo."
…
After a long while, Luke asked a lot of questions, and turned to look at Phil. "How is it?"
Phil couldn't help but scratch his head. "This … isn't easy."
Luke scratched his head, because there were too many problems involved.
Skye had been called Daisy Johnson — Johnson was her father Calvin's surname.
That wasn't a problem. The problem was that Skye had a mother named Jia Ying.
Jia Ying was a Chinese. In the 1980s, she fell in love with Calvin, who went to a remote village in China to do medical support. After that, they had Skye.
Shortly after Skye was born, Jia Ying's village was attacked by a group of people.
The whole village was killed, and Skye, who was still a child, was also taken away.
When Calvin returned from his medical practice, he only found Jia Ying's broken body in the wasteland outside the village.
At this point, the story was still considered a violent film, but the following development became a horror film.
Calvin stitched up Jia Ying's dismembered body and … she came back to life.
Yes, at that time, Jia Ying's internal organs were dug out and taken away, but she survived after being stitched up.
Because she was a superpower user, her ability was to absorb the life of others, heal her own injuries, and even become immortal.
The villagers of that remote mountain village worshipped her as a witch, and had been using dying old people to extend her life.
Calvin knew this, but he loved Jia Ying deeply. Not only did he not run away in fright, he stayed in the mountain village.
Jia Ying, who had been saved, suddenly disappeared one day. She didn't say where she was going, and only asked Calvin to find his daughter.
Calvin lost his wife and child and was furious, but in order to reunite his family, he could only work hard to track down the massacre of the village back then.
He found some clues one after another and began to hunt down the group of people who had taken Skye away. This group of people was the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had been protecting Skye.
When they realized this, Luke and Phil looked at each other. Could Skye accept joining an organization that killed her mother?
Forget the new S.H.I.E.L.D., that group of agents really wasn't Hydra.
But Calvin later mentioned that he suspected that this group of people were under the orders of a certain Hydra branch leader during World War II.
Because Jia Ying had fallen into the hands of Hydra and her abnormality had been discovered, those Hydras had chased her all the way to China and dissected her.
Phil immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
In that case, it was very likely that Hydra had borrowed the power of the old S.H.I.E.L.D. to do something bad.
But Phil had also contributed to the destruction of the old S.H.I.E.L.D., and had always been at odds with Hydra. It was unlikely that Skye's hatred could be attributed to him.
So, there was still a good chance of recruiting her into the new S.H.I.E.L.D.
But where was Skye's mother, Jia Ying, and what did she want? Nobody knew.
This woman had once sent a letter to Calvin asking him to help her find a certain special item, and she would meet him then.
Both Luke and Phil found this strange: shouldn't the family be reunited once they found their daughter, Skye?
At this point, Skye's search for her family was half complete.
But her mother was missing, her father had gone crazy, and her great enemy was nowhere to be found. The situation could only be described as a mess.
After thinking for a moment, Luke made a decision. "I'll stabilize Calvin's mental state first. I'll let him meet Skye tomorrow at the latest."
Hiding Calvin could easily arouse Skye's suspicions, so it was better to let her know everything as soon as possible.
She was about to turn twenty, and it was time to face some life choices.
…
The next day, Skye's meeting with Calvin and his daughter wasn't pleasant at all.
Calvin really valued Skye and really loved his daughter, but he couldn't control his temper.
When he mentioned that he wanted to live with Skye, she turned to look at V and Phil with an inquiring look.
This immediately agitated Calvin. Feeling that Luke and Phil had stolen his daughter's attention, he couldn't help but roar and want to kill them.
Skye was both embarrassed and frustrated.
Phil was helpless.
Thanks to the mask, Luke rolled his eyes. This was too much like the logic of a psychopath.
Unfortunately, Calvin, who was tied to a chair in a straitjacket, could only twist around and roar. There was nothing he could do about them.
As his immediate family, Skye quickly agreed to V's proposal to take Calvin back to New Jersey and give him a course of psychotherapy.
Calvin would enjoy a good treatment environment. He could meet Skye during the day and sleep alone in a reinforced room at night.
After making the decision, V immediately took Calvin back to New York.
Phil, on the other hand, accompanied Skye, both to protect her and to ensure that she wouldn't vent her anger on the new S.H.I.E.L.D.
Mindy, who had accompanied them on the trip, asked Skye about her father's situation, but Skye said she wanted to handle it herself, so Mindy didn't say anything else.
Unfortunately, this secret tour ended just as it began. It wasn't satisfying at all.
