"Yes, Sir."
Taibai nodded. "At the very first moment this Scientist made the recommendation to Dr. Samuel Sterns, he himself was already arrested by the Nova Corps, who had been hidden around Dr. Blue and the other two."
"So, this guy has a problem, huh?"
Michael raised an eyebrow, but wasn't too surprised.
"Yes, Sir."
Taibai nodded and continued, "After identification by the Nova Corps, it was discovered that this... Scientist, was not a Scientist from Xandar, but a Skrull in disguise! Because advanced technology was used for concealment, he was not discovered immediately."
"It is well known that although the Sovereign are extremely advanced in biotechnology and energy technology in the Universe, due to their racial characteristics of making a big deal out of small matters and holding grudges, they are not well-regarded by people in the Universe."
"After interrogation by the Nova Corps, this high-level spy, a Skrull, hidden on Xandar, confessed that he had noticed Dr. Samuel Sterns' unusual status on Xandar, in the Nova Empire. After a brief observation, he decided to use Dr. Samuel Sterns' thirst for knowledge to lead him towards the Sovereign, and then planned to intercept and kill him midway!"
"According to his confession, even if the assassination was not successful, the target would still go to contact the Sovereign.
But given the Sovereign's xenophobic nature, Dr. Samuel Sterns and his party would inevitably offend this relatively small but technologically advanced and difficult-to-deal-with race in the Universe, which could also indirectly weaken the Nova Empire's strength!"
Taibai narrated.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
"What a show!"
Michael was a little taken aback. What kind of grudge was this? The Nova Empire was a neutral country, and had even fought the Skrull Empire's adversary, the Kree Empire, for hundreds of years. Even so, there were still countless spies and Agents using various methods to curb the Nova Empire's growth.
"Or perhaps, this is the true key to a Universal Empire's long-lasting prosperity?"
Michael was somewhat disdainful. What good were schemes and tricks in the face of true strength...
"Wait...!"
Suddenly, Michael frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"The last time I met with Nick Fury, he seemed to give me a very peculiar feeling."
"At that time, my strength was low, and I didn't think much of it."
"Now that I think about it, that... Nick Fury, isn't he a Skrull?"
"That's interesting!"
Michael narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint appearing within them. "Could it be that the real Nick Fury isn't on Earth?"
"Or, to put it bluntly, Nick Fury himself isn't an Earthling?"
"Hiss!!!!"
"Skrulls! Captain Marvel! Kree!"
"I always feel like there's some terrifying story behind all this!"
"Do the Skrulls need Captain Marvel's protection?"
"Has Captain Marvel truly recovered her Earthling identity?"
"Are the Kree and the Skrulls truly locked in an unending war?"
"If all of this is a play..."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
"Interesting!"
"Truly interesting!"
Michael's thoughts raced, but he did not reveal them to Taibai.
Although, if Michael were to state his conjectures and Taibai were to calculate, it would be easy to find the loopholes and such.
But in the end, Michael didn't do that.
Some things are best left to slowly ferment, and only then, when they are brought into the light, will they be at their best.
Especially when Michael discovered some clues, observing the changes became a kind of enjoyment for Michael...
"I guess the Nova Empire must have advised Dr. Samuel Sterns not to easily go to the Sovereign's planet, Xandar!"
Michael asked.
"Yes, sir."
White nodded.
"I'll guess again, our Dr. Blue definitely didn't heed the Nova Empire's advice, and he will certainly find a way to go to the Sovereign's planet, Xandar!"
Michael said with almost certainty.
"Yes, sir."
White nodded again, "The Nova Corps, and even Nova Prime herself, warned Dr. Samuel Sterns about all the matters involved, but Dr. Samuel Sterns insisted on going to the Sovereign's homeworld, Xandar, and borrowed an unnumbered, unpainted Nova Corps spare cosmic warship."
"And now, that warship is in the midst of a continuous shuttle through one hundred and eight short and medium-range wormholes; it has already passed through forty-three wormholes, with sixty-five wormholes remaining to be traversed, which will take approximately two Earth hours."
"Do I need to stop their advance?"
White asked Michael.
With the various communication systems Michael specifically manifested for White, let alone a spaceship in the midst of wormhole travel, even in a black hole, as long as it wasn't torn apart by the black hole's immense pressure, White could smoothly link and control it.
"Forget it!"
Michael shook his head, "Let them go!"
Don't underestimate the Sovereign's biotech and energy tech; they are incredibly powerful and even extremely wealthy. The Sovereign's military operations are entirely conducted using remote-controlled cosmic fighters, a display of extreme extravagance.
But in reality, the Sovereign's strength in the Universe is not too strong.
Given the strength of Samuel Sterns's group, as long as they aren't directly pursued in space, if the Sovereign dares to let these three Hulks land, it will only be the Sovereign that gets smashed to bits!
What's more, to ensure that his top Scientist wouldn't encounter any accidents, that guy also had quite a few treasures manifested by Michael on him. Michael wasn't worried about them at all. In fact, Michael even had to worry about the Sovereign, hoping they wouldn't be so stubborn as to make Hulk undergo a multi-stage transformation!
If Hulk were truly angered into a multi-stage transformation, the Sovereign would have to pray for good fortune, 233.
As for Adam, that's just an idea for now, isn't it?
As for the Sovereign, they are also a party that has been schemed against, so they can be considered victims. Michael stated that he would help his own, not necessarily the one in the right. Get it?
Of course, daring to scheme against his subordinates in such a way, Michael narrowed his eyes, and in his heart, he had already marked this debt against the Skrulls!
"White, do you want to go to Earth to see?"
Temporarily setting the three of Samuel Sterns aside, Michael asked White beside him.
