"I'm so glad you've been in this conversation, Salomon."

Agent Colson sat on a bench commonly used in taverns everywhere in Oxford. He was wearing an old suit and looked very tired, with wrinkles under his soft eyes, as if he had grown a lot aged during this time. He was not the only one on the bench, and Salomon sat on the bench opposite him. Agent Colson pushed him a burrito, the signature dish of the tavern. Salomon took it and glanced around him-Agent Colson did not come alone, his team members were waiting for instructions in a jeep not far away.

Salomon could know their thoughts without reading their open, unprepared brains. Agent Colson definitely offered to meet alone, but they had identified him as the most dangerous target and insisted on following him. When he noticed a mixed feeling of hatred and concern, he knew that there was another person hiding nearby. Agent Colson had no intention of giving orders, and he asked on his own, "How long has it been since we talked like this? It must have been many years, right?"

"Is it necessary to talk about this question? I will hand over Jiaying to you, she is useless to me." Salomon ate the food handed over by Colson, not caring about the agents' possible actions on the food.

"Well, I heard Captain America has found you?"

"I did this not because of others' persuasion, Agent Colson, just because Jiaying lost the value of intelligence, and my scarce sympathy was still playing a role." The Secret Mage smiled, "Maybe you should let Skye sit by me and let her listen to the reason for me doing this. I am not a cruel person, so I will give her an explanation. Don't worry, she can't hurt me."

But I was worried that you would hurt her. Agent Colson hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say what he was thinking.

"I won't hurt her, I promise." Salomon made a promise in response to Agent Colson's suspicion of his skepticism. He knew that Colson was suspicious of his use of mind reading again. However, this did not require any mortal brains to be guarded, and he could read the emotions above the shallow mind without even using spells. "No matter what kind of accusations she made against me, I don't care about her little offense. It's hard for you to catch my time off. If you didn't find me at this time, I wouldn't have the heart to care about you, because I have to worry much more than what a little girl said when she was upset."

"You are only twenty years old, you should know that Skye is older than you, right?"

"I'm talking about psychological age, I'm very tolerant of minors."

"You humiliated her once again without any concealment." Agent Colson sighed.

Not long after, the female hacker with a sad and angry face walked out of the corner of the street. She strides towards her in a clean black outfit, and only stopped in front of the expressionless secret mage. She had a gun holster on her legs, but the pistol that was originally inserted into it disappeared. This was Colson's instructions that Skye had to put the pistol in the car before meeting Salomon, although it was meaningless. It is undeniable that Skye's face was rounder again, and Asian descent made her look much more refined than Europeans and Americans.

At this moment she was glaring at Salomon.

"What did you do to her..."

"I'll ask you a question before you make the accusation." Salomon pointed to the empty seat beside him and invited the girl to sit down. She looked at Colson and reluctantly did it after receiving the instructions. Compared with the tall secret mage, she was like a delicate and small doll. "There is only one question, but this question is an important force that cannot be ignored in the battlefield of rationality and sensibility." The secret mage's voice was very charming, and even if Skye hated him, he wouldn't help listening. She felt that this was something unknown magic used by Salomon. "What someone did will cause many people to die. Do you have the determination to kill that person? If that person is your relative, can you still take action?"

Skye hesitated for a moment, and Colson immediately promised that he would take good care of Jiaying and completely solve the Inhuman problem of [After Life]. Melinda Mei, who was staying in the jeep on the corner of the street, reminded Skye through her headphones to be alert to Salomon's cunning and be careful of the traps set by the secret mage. The conversation between them was clearly heard by Salomon, and he rolled his eyes quietly.

"I'll give my answer first." He pretended not to hear their slander and continued, "I will, because I have received such education since I was a child. I was told one truth since I was a child, that is, we are not qualified to kill more people because of temporary sympathy - life cannot be measured by numbers, but it is better to die one than to die two, and to die two are better than to die three. What qualifications do we have to issue a death verdict to the person who should not have died? If Jiaying would cause hundreds, thousands, or even more lives to die, do you have the determination to kill her? When you claim to be the last S.H.I.E.L.D. and want to be the last shield of humans and supernatural, have you ever thought about the burden that comes with this sentence? This world is not a shit TV series. A handsome man and beautiful woman can solve the problem by talking about love. We must choose between life and death."

"I..." Skye hesitated for a moment, "if she does, I'll kill her."

"Look, this is actually easy to solve." Salomon nodded, "No matter what the past is, it will not be too late as long as you make up your mind now."

"Is this a prophecy... In fact, you are giving Jiaying to us now, just to adapt to the prophecy?" Agent Colson was keenly aware of some key information. "What did Jiaying do, worthy of your use of this method." Skye also raised questions that were not something that could be raised by a rookie like her, but her urgency exposed her unfamiliarity in inducing problems. According to her usual habits, she should be criticizing the secret mage now, but she did not do that.

Obviously, they had already set up a plan before meeting Salomon and planned to inquire about information from him.
