"You.. mmm..."
Seeing the girl lean her head in so directly…
Ye Li hesitated for a moment, then tasted the soft, delicate pink hue.
'Is this a way to express gratitude... I guess it's a tradition in the West... totally normal...'
It had been a while since he last enjoyed the fresh taste of a beautiful stranger.
So, for a moment, he couldn't help himself...
"Mm..."
Rachael's cheeks flushed, it was her first kiss~
…..
After the kiss ended...
"Thank you..."
The cat-eyed girl spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"This is my first kiss... I hope you like it..."
"Not bad~ it was very passionate, I liked it."
Ye Li became interested in this girl, playing with the silver earrings on her earlobe.
"Since you don't have anywhere to go, why don't you come to my manor?"
"I'm still in need of a maid to clean the rooms, and I can teach you more interesting things~"
"A manor... interesting things..."
Rachael's face grew redder, and her body started to feel hot...
Could it be that she was fortunate despite the misfortune, meeting the legendary destined son, the gentle rich heir...
…..
"Alright... Although I've never done this before... I'll do my best at this job..."
The girl finally squeezed out those words, then buried her head in Ye Li's chest, falling silent...
"Ahem! Are you two done?"
Skye coughed twice from the side.
She had been watching them with her arms crossed, but finally couldn't hold it in and spoke up.
"I'm one of Li's girlfriends, and you're ignoring me like this? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Li said he brought her here to meet her fellow Inhumans, and now he's the one having fun first...
…..
"One of his girlfriends?"
Rachael lifted her head, glancing at Ye Li... then at the beautiful mixed-race girl, Skye...
She realized that things...
...seemed a little different from what she had imagined...
Ye Li lightly tapped his pocket and said, "If you agree, you can't back out~"
The cat-eyed girl immediately made a bitter face...
'It's over... Looks like I've walked into a wolf's den...'
"Don't be afraid."
Ye Li pulled Skye's shoulder, bringing her into his embrace, and introduced her to Rachael.
"This is Skye, she's also… technically an Inhuman."
"Hmph~"
Skye smiled cleverly and extended her index finger, tapping Rachael's collarbone, releasing a small shockwave.
"My ability is shockwaves~ Pretty impressive, right?"
The cat-eyed girl felt the subtle shockwave, "Oh... that's amazing... the destructive power must be huge..."
"Alright, Hawaii isn't safe right now. Let's bring you back to the estate." Ye Li decided to send the newly adopted little maid home first.
He didn't receive a system notification for becoming Rachael's "contact," probably because she didn't have any notable status in her original timeline...
.....
Sunville Manor.
"Wow~ It's so big!"
Rachael looked out from Ye Li's room, and even at the end of her cat-like vision, she could still see the manor's grounds...
"Once you're here, you're one of us. I'll change the style of your clothes first~" Ye Li snapped his fingers.
Snap~
The girl's clothes instantly unraveled into threads.
"Oh no~ You... What kind of strange superpower is this..."
Rachael asked curiously, hugging her arms.
"Why aren't you an Inhuman and still have so many powers? Are you one of those superheroes they talk about in the news?"
"No, actually, I'm a mage."
Ye Li moved his index finger like conducting a symphony, tracing two circles in the air—
The unraveled threads then rewove and faded back into shape,
On the cat-eyed girl, a new, enticing black-and-white maid outfit was formed.
A super-short skirt, a low-cut neckline, one leg wrapped in black stockings to the hem of the skirt, the other leg smooth and snow-white.
Rachel's area of movement was male-restricted (except for Ye Li), so she didn't need to worry about others peeping at her outfit.
…..
"That's so cool~"
The girl smiled lightly and raised her leg, stretching her long, beautiful leg~
She was European-American, and this outfit was only for Ye Li, so she didn't feel too exposed.
"I've got some errands later, Let me tell you a few things real quick."
Ye Li instructed her, "After you clean my room, if you have nothing to do, go help take care of my sister, Matilda. She lives in the room diagonally opposite. Or you can go talk to Skye about the Inhumans; she's in the third room on the left."
"Oh..."
Rachael nodded, carefully noting everything down...
"Also..."
Ye Li smiled mysteriously, "You can sleep in my room, it's quite spacious... though it might get a little lively at night, so be prepared~"
"Oh..."
Rachael nodded obediently again, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation...
…..
"President Ye, this is the interview location."
The person in charge of the game Player One led Ye Li to a white hall, chatting with him enthusiastically as they walked.
"We found an exceptionally talented individual, and he's even willing to share the holographic simulation technology he's been researching with us. Of course, this comes with conditions, he..."
"Wait..."
Ye Li stopped walking and raised his hand to interrupt him.
"You're talking about holographic simulation technology? Don't we already have that? Do we really need some unknown person to provide it?"
"You don't know, the holographic technology he demonstrated is just as good as the simulation technology you've provided."
The game leader, Mr. Ma, said confidently, "And after our technicians analyzed it, his technology differs from ours in principle. Both have their merits. His technology is more convenient to apply and can complement ours..."
"Is it really as amazing as you're making it sound?"
Ye Li raised an eyebrow, intrigued, "What's his name?"
Mr. Ma smiled, "His name is Mr. Beck, Quentin Beck."
As he was speaking.
A well-dressed man in a suit approached Ye Li and Mr. Ma, appearing to have some Indian heritage.
At the same time.
Ye Li also heard the system's voice—
[Detected: Gwen Stacy's Fate Enemy, "Mysterio" Quentin Beck]
"Mr. Ma."
Quentin Beck greeted Mr. Ma, then looked at Ye Li and asked, "Who is this...?"
Mr. Ma quickly made the introductions.
"Beck, this is President Ye. Your collaboration or position will need President Ye's approval."
"President Ye, this is Mr. Beck, the one I mentioned to you."
Ye Li showed no reaction on his face.
Quentin Beck immediately put on a full smile, "Ah, so it's President Ye. I believe we can have a pleasant conversation."
Talk?
Ye Li wasn't interested.
Quentin Beck instantly smiled brightly. "So you're President Ye. I think we'll have a great conversation."
Conversation?
Ye Li wasn't interested.
Mysterio was no good guy—
Cunning, treacherous, born to betray.
If he actually got a high-ranking position, the game company would definitely run into trouble.
His holographic simulation technology was indeed impressive, it could replicate reality so well that the average person couldn't tell the difference...
So.
Ye Li pretended to smile, pointing toward a private office, "Let's go over there and have a proper one-on-one conversation."
"Alright, alright!"
Quentin Beck was overjoyed, feeling that he was one step closer to soaring to greatness!
'Just wait... once I get into this game company... that revolutionary holographic game... will become mine, Quentin Beck's possession...'
With such sinister thoughts.
Quentin Beck's lips curled into a barely noticeable sinister smile as he entered the office with Ye Li, both sitting on opposite sides of the round table.
"President Ye, you can take a look at this first, I'm sure you'll be interested."
He was about to hand a folder to Ye Li.
Ye Li waved his hand and said to Mr. Ma, who had followed them, "You go out first, we'll talk privately."
"Ah, alright." Mr. Ma left, closing the door behind him.
Quentin Beck's eyes lit up even more.
He thought Ye Li was giving him special attention!
