Aaron nodded. "There are indeed no rules here. Any guest can park here, but if it's someone with ill intentions..."
Skye instantly felt guilty. "I'm here for an interview."
"Is that so? Why don't I know about it?" Aaron laughed.
Skye puffed out her chest. "You're just a doorman, how could you possibly know? I'm here to interview for the cybersecurity department."
Aaron said "Oh," and pretended to pick up his phone. "Norman, are there any interviews for the cybersecurity department recently? What? No? Are you sure? Okay, I understand."
Aaron then looked at Skye. "So, do I need to call 911?"
Skye's face turned pale. "Don't scare me. Don't think you can fool me just because I drive a van."
As Skye spoke, she moved towards the driver's seat.
However, an unlocking sound came from the car door. Aaron pulled, and the door opened.
Skye was stunned.
I locked it perfectly, how did you open it?
"Give me your phone and your laptop."
"Don't come in. Believe it or not, I'll call the police right away." Skye threatened weakly, clutching her phone and protecting her laptop, guarding the last line of defense.
Aaron wasn't annoyed. He hooked his finger, and the laptop, as if by an invisible hand, flew in front of him.
Skye, seeing this, didn't have time to be surprised and pounced. But her speed was like slow motion in Aaron's eyes.
Holding the laptop in one hand, he stood in position and spread his arms. Skye, as if throwing herself into his embrace, fell into Aaron's arms.
He teased, "Miss, I know I'm handsome, but you don't have to be so desperate, do you?"
"Maybe we can exchange contact information, then go out for a movie, a dinner, and then proceed to the next step?"
Skye ignored him, her eyes fixed on the laptop, reaching out to snatch it again.
"This is mine, you're robbing me."
"Then you call it, will it answer?"
Skye started heavily breathing. "Then you call it, will it answer?"
"Little Ai." Aaron said.
"I'm here." The laptop replied.
Skye was shocked.
What the hell? How did she not know her own laptop had a name?
Skye said, "Little Ai?"
"..."
Aaron: "Little Ai."
"I'm here."
"What the f*ck!"
Skye's face changed, looking at the laptop as if it were a faithless lover.
You were bought with my hard-earned money, carefully maintained every day, and whenever there was new software or hardware, I installed it for you immediately. And now, just seeing this scumbag, you abandon me.
Is there no justice? Is there no humanity?
You say you're not human? Damn it! Faithless laptop!
"No! You're a hacker too? When did you invade my laptop?" Skye recovered from her shock, looking at Aaron with full vigilance.
"Wait, you look... like..."
"Aaron, the new President of Osborn Industries."
The figure in front of her gradually overlapped with the image in her memory, but Skye felt no excitement, only fear.
"Congratulations, you got it right. But there's no prize."
Aaron waved his hand again, and this time a web shot out, sticking to Skye's phone in her pocket. With a gentle pull, it landed in his hand.
Skye had already given up resisting. Go ahead and do whatever you want, I don't care anymore.
"Which organization do you work for?"
Skye didn't answer.
"The Rising Tide?"
Skye was startled. "How did you know?"
Aaron didn't answer, continuing to ask, "Name."
"Marilyn Monroe."
"Skye."
(T/N: Her legal name is Mary Sue Poots and her birth name is Daisy Louise Johnson. But she is more known as Skye and it's the alias she is using right now.)
Skye glared. "You know and you still ask."
Aaron still ignored her. He took her phone, found the most recent contact number, and called it.
Skye was anxious, trying to stop him.
The phone quickly rang on the other end.
"Skye, what's the situation?"
"This is Aaron. Rising Tide, right? You just wait for me."
Before he could finish speaking, the call on the other end had already hung up.
One could imagine that they were absolutely in a frenzy at that moment.
"You..."
"Relax, Skye. I know you're in a hurry right now, but don't rush. Now it's time to talk about our problem."
"You invaded my company, damaged my company's firewall, and harmed my company's core data, causing huge losses, at least several hundred million in business."
"Now, how are you going to make amends?"
Skye's eyes widened.
He's slandering me!
"You devil! I clearly haven't had a chance to do anything yet..."
Skye instinctively retorted, but Aaron just said, "Oh? So you admit you were planning something just now."
"Tell me, who assigned the mission to the Rising Tide?"
Aaron looked directly into her eyes, activating Super Perception, Super Vision, and Vibration Sense fully.
As long as there was any possibility of Skye lying, he would instantly sense it. Although Aaron had not received any training in interrogation or micro-expressions, anyone with his level of abilities could easily judge whether the other party was telling the truth. Even the top Agent in the world couldn't hide anything from him.
Moreover, Skye was just a fledgling. Aside from her decent hacking skills, she was just an ordinary person.
No, her genes were somewhat different, after all, she was an Inhuman.
Skye was speechless.
Aaron said, "Think carefully about the consequences. I can hand you over to the Police at any time. Considering the hundreds of millions in losses and the donations and taxes we provide annually, trust me, both the Police station and the court will definitely uphold the law."
"I'll give you a number: ten years."
"If I say you'll be locked up for ten years, it will absolutely be ten years, no more and no less."
In this country where money reigns supreme, everything except death can be solved by money. As long as there is enough money, running for President or having the government amend or add laws is not a problem.
Skye was greatly shocked upon hearing this. "You... how can you do this? This is slander! This is defamation! I'm going to sue you for slandering me!"
Aaron asked meaningfully, "Are you suggesting that I, a rising star worth hundreds of billions, am slandering you, a hacker thief who casually invades other people's companies?"
"Who do you think the public will be more willing to believe?"
Skye looked conflicted after hearing this. "Fine, I don't know who assigned the mission. This was a task given to me by the Rising Tide. I was just taking on some part-time work while finishing my studies."
"They asked me to find out about your company's research status regarding the limb regeneration potion, and whether you were conducting inhumane human experiments."
"Especially you... you used some extraordinary power during the board meeting. Once it's confirmed that you are illegally conducting human experiments to study the abilities of certain devils, then..."
"Then you'll make it public and let the law judge me?" Aaron couldn't help but laugh.
"What a silly girl."
Skye said indignantly, "I am upholding the people's right to know, and serving the people. Large corporations like yours must accept public supervision."
"Is that so? Then have you investigated A.I.M.? Do you know what they are doing?"
"The Rising Tide? Serving the people? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard."
Aaron genuinely found Skye's explanation hilarious.
What rubbish about serving the people? Where in the world are there so many charitable organizations powered by love and dedicated to serving the public?
He knew exactly what the Rising Tide was. A hacker organization that dared to disregard the law just for enough money.
Their so-called service to the people was nothing more than self-promotion. It only fooled naive girls like Skye.
Anyone who had been out in society for a few days would never believe such nonsense.
All the bustle in the world is for gain, all the hustle in the world is for gain. The ancients made it very clear.
The entire world is just a huge makeshift stage, and profit is what they fight for.
Even Aaron himself—
The contemporary Einstein? Pioneer of Human Civilization? Pioneer of the medical industry? Give me a break, he couldn't care less what these people thought.
