Thatâs right, Mathison was wearing Daredevilâs costume.
Wearing this suit makes it convenient for him to swagger around hellâs kitchen.
He walked to Skyeâs car door, without anyoneâs notice, and pried open the car door at his fastest speed.
Afterwards, Mathison calmly got into the van.
Itâs unknown whether Skye is overconfident or there is really nothing important in the car⊠because no monitor was installed inside.
Not only that, after Skye left, even the dashcam was turned off.
In other words, no matter what Mathison does, as long as he doesnât take anything from the car, Skye would never find out that her car had been infiltrated.
Mathison entered the van for only one purpose, and that was Skyeâs computer from the High Tide organization!
In his speculation, Skye is of high status in the Rising Tide organization, so, the majority of this organizationâs information can be found on Skyeâs computer.
Mathison took out a USB flash drive and inserted it into Skyeâs computer.
Barbara has taught Mathison a lot of hacking skills. Although his level is not as good as Skyeâs or Barbaraâs, he is still considered a master at work. Cracking Skyeâs password should not be a difficult task.
Even if Skye finds out that her computer had been turned on afterwards, it wouldnât be something worrying.
Mathison quickly browsed the files in Skyeâs computer and copied all the information related to ancient artifacts into his USB flash drive.
On the other side, Barbara and Skye walked into Jessicaâs office.
As soon as they got past the door, the two women couldnât help frowning while covering their mouths and noses with their hands.
This detective office was really messy!
There was only a sofa and a table in this large office. The rest of the space was occupied by bottles of alcohol and cigarettes.
Several pieces of underwear were scattered on the ground⊠ladiesâ and menââŠ
A strong smell of alcohol filled the entire office.
The objective of Skye and Barbaraâs trip, Jessica Jones, was lying on the sofa sleeping, with her two slender legs resting on the desk.
Jessica was holding a half-full bottle in her hand, while her other hand held an extinguished cigarette.
Jessicaâs body reeked with alcohol and her face was so red.
God knows how much alcohol she had to consume to become this drunk.
At first, Barbara wondered if she had found the wrong person.
In her imagination, the life of such a superhuman wouldnât be so vile!
But soon, she saw the familiar black jacket Jessica was wearing, in addition to her pair of jeans.
«There is no way I am wrong, this drunk woman in front of me is Jessica Jones!»
âHmmmâŠ?â
Perhaps it was the sound of the two women coming in that awakened Jessica. She groaned and stood up.
The hand holding the cigarette butt loosened slightly, and the cigarette fell onto the sofa. However, the other hand holding the bottle was steady.
Jessica stretched. Her eyes werenât fully open yet, and apparently still dazed.
âWho is it? Is it Matt? What time is it now? I donât think itâs time for the appointment yet. Never mind, what the hell do you want, since youâre here thenâŠâ
Jessica had muttered and Barbara and Skye immediately looked at each other. This situation made them both wonder how to begin their negotiation.
Barbara looked at Skye and eye-gestured her to come up with something quickly as if she was telling her âdidnât you tell me to just watch you operate? Do something!â
Skye understood Barbaraâs eye gesture and glared back defiantly.
«I was talking about a situation where the superhuman weâre negotiating with is actually a ânormalâ one. This Jessica is so weird. What if she becomes drunk and crazy?»
«She is so strong. What if she tosses me from the window?»
The two were in a stalemate, and no one dared to approach Jessica.
And for a long while, no movement sounded.
Jessica finally realized that something was wrong. Why did Matt come in for a long time without talking?
Could it be that he is admiring her sleeping posture?
Impossible!
This guy is blind, he canât see her.
If the person who came in was not Matt, no client in Hellâs Kitchen would come in eitherâŠ
That isâŠ
Jessica opened her eyes sharply and jumped up from the sofa.
The aura of her whole person changed drastically in an instant. She was as dangerous and fierce as a lioness.
âWho are you? The office is closed. If you want something, you can come back tomorrow.â
Jessica embraced her arms and directly signalled Barbara and Skye to leave.
She could see that the two young girls were ordinary people and couldnât feel any threat from them. Hence, she dispelled most of her guard.
âAh, you must be Miss Jones.â
Skye coughed slightly. Now that their main goal has finally gotten up, negotiations can naturally proceed normally.
âMy name is Skye, I came here to find you forâŠâ
âFor what? My strength?â
Jessica raised her eyebrows and said casually.
âIf you know that I have special abilities because of watching a video of me performing my⊠weird moves, and you are curious about me or even think I am a superhero, then you should have seen what the real me is now. I am not a hero. I am just an alcoholic. My life is a mess, and I have a bad temper.â
Jessica put the bottle of alcohol in her hand on the desk and pointed to the office door.
âI know you are very disappointed now, so please get out of my office right away, okay?â
âI think you should have misunderstood, Miss Jones, we are not ignorant young girls who are obsessed with superheroes.â
Skye didnât back off from what Jessica said. Itâs not uncommon for superhumans to be difficult to communicate with.
âListen, your special abilities have been monitored and recorded, and you have been exposed to their sight.â
âCovering your face with a scarf does not prevent them from discovering who you are. Us finding you here is the best proof.â
âIt wonât be long before that group of people comes. You are in danger at all times, Miss Jones, we are here to help you.â
Jessica wasnât shocked at Skyeâs words as this latter expected. Jessica, instead, rubbed her forehead with one hand, looking helpless.
âYou guys are here to help me, you guys are seriously here to help me? But I donât need help!â
âYour name is Skye? You may not know of this, but a few days ago, another group of people came to me and told me exactly what you have just said.â
âThey were hoping to pull me in their group, and youâre here for the same purpose, right?â
Although it was a question, Jessica said it in a positive tone.
âThe worst has happenedâŠâ
Skyeâs eyes darkened. She didnât expect that S.H.I.E.L.D. actually contacted Jessica long ago.
But why didnât they capture Jessica?
Is it because they donât like Jessicaâs ability⊠or simply couldnât beat Jessica and catch her?
