Chapter 259: Chapter 259: "You don't Understand Life Force Better Than Me"
"Deep-seated grudge?"
Oaks didn't expect Calvin to be so straightforward. Is he ready to lay all his cards on the table from the beginning?
"Dr. Oaks, over the years, I... have done many wrong things, but everything I did was aimed at reuniting with my family."
Calvin held his head in pain, and his emotions became somewhat unstable:
"Whitewall is a devil. He killed my wife and sent people to steal my daughter!
I spent over twenty years investigating the truth, until the revelations about S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra came to light, and I finally woke up!"
"So, it was Hydra who kidnapped your daughter, not S.H.I.E.L.D. as you previously thought."
Oaks nodded slightly:
"You said it yourself earlier, Whitewall is quite special... He was personally arrested seventy years ago by Agent Carter, his original name being Werner Reinhardt.
But after he was taken out of prison by the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D, Alexander Pierce, in 1999, he discovered the Chinese woman who he had experimented on before and arrested her...
He found that the Chinese woman was still as young as she was over fifty years ago, so he killed her and replaced his own organs with hers, regaining his youth."
With each word Oaks spoke, Calvin's expression grew more ferocious, and the inferior serum that Calvin had developed has deeply influenced his emotions under the stimulation:
"That's enough!"
"Buzz—"
Oaks's magic instantly brought Calvin back to his senses. He gasped heavily, almost squeezing the flesh on his thigh:
"Ah... Sorry... Dr. Oaks... I..."
"I understand your anger, but right now, it's best if we are more open with each other."
Oaks calmly looked at Calvin, who was gradually returning to normal, and shook his head slightly:
"I personally escorted Whitewall on his final journey. Also, Agent Carter appeared at Whitewall's location because he discovered that she had become younger and tried to abduct her for research—
Just like what was done to your wife. When I went to rescue Agent Carter, I discovered Whitewall's identity and the conspiracy."
"What!"
Calvin raised his head abruptly, but in the next moment, a glimmer of relief flashed in his eyes:
"Fortunately... Thank goodness..."
"Are you worried that we used the 'technology' to restore Whitewall's youth on Agent Carter?"
A small green light appeared in Oaks's hand.
He pressed the green light onto Calvin, and he was surprised to find that the scars left by years of experiments on his hand had disappeared!
"The transformation of Agent Carter's appearance is my technology, but because no one was sacrificed in the process, she only appears to have regained her youth. In essence, she is still an elderly woman in her nineties."
"I see."
Calvin understood the underlying meaning in Oaks's words. Agent Carter's lifespan hadn't been extended, so there was no use of anything that would drive him crazy.
He let out a deep breath, and his expression became relaxed:
"Thank you for answering my doubts, Dr. Oaks... You're right, I should be more open."
He picked up the coffee cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp:
"Dr. Oaks, my wife is indeed the woman who was killed by Whitewall all those years ago, and she didn't die...
I'm a decent doctor, and with the help of my wife's powerful vitality, I saved her and brought her back to the village. But our daughter had already been kidnapped by Hydra—
I recently found her whereabouts!"
Calvin stared at Oaks earnestly:
"She was found by Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., but just as I was about to contact him, he sent her to you!"
"Yes, you're referring to Skye."
Oaks frowned slightly and nodded:
"That's right, Skye is with me, and I've also noticed something unusual about her. I suspect that's the reason Hydra wanted to kidnap her. Now it seems that her abilities come from her mother."
"That's right!"
Calvin became excited, stood up, and rubbed his hands together as he paced around the room:
"She's not called Skye, her name is Daisy Johnson. It's the name her mother and I gave her together!"
He suddenly stopped in his tracks:
"Dr. Oaks, can... can I see her?"
"No."
Oaks's cold words instantly froze Calvin's expression:
"What?"
"Mr. Calvin, I believe I mentioned that we should have an open and honest conversation."
Oaks's indifferent gaze fell upon Calvin, who was visibly on the verge of rage but holding it back:
"Skye, or should I say Daisy, is now my employee, and I am responsible for her safety—
Your previous words were far from the truth and concealed many important pieces of information. I have reason to suspect that meeting Daisy could put her in danger."
"Danger!? Are you joking? What danger could there be if my daughter comes home with me?"
Calvin couldn't hold back. If he didn't know that the Avenger in front of him could kill him in an instant, he would have rushed forward and grabbed the person by the neck:
"Do you think I would harm her?"
"No, you wouldn't, but her mother might."
Oaks's cold words instantly stunned Calvin.
"How... how can you say that?"
"When it comes to matters of life, you can't hide anything from me, Dr. Calvin."
Oaks stood up slowly and walked up to Calvin's side:
"You have all sorts of chaotic enhancement serums in your body, and they're affecting your sanity... That's not a good thing.
Furthermore, you claim that your medical skills saved your wife. I can only say that you're being delusional—
What level of injury is it to have your organs removed? Do you think I'm unaware of that?
Your wife doesn't possess extraordinary vitality; she absorbs life force... human life force, right?"
Oaks glanced at Calvin, who stood frozen in place, and sneered:
"Life force can never be created out of thin air, just like my magic.
Even if your wife possesses extraordinary abilities, she can't possibly maintain her youth while regenerating organs.
Therefore, she can only absorb the life force of others to restore herself.
In this process, how much did you help her?"
A blue light appeared on his fingertips as he pressed it onto Calvin's arm.
Calvin immediately felt a familiar sensation—
His life force was draining!
Fortunately, it lasted only a brief moment, but large beads of sweat had already formed on Calvin's forehead:
"You..."
"You don't understand life force better than me, so I'll give you another chance, Dr. Calvin."
A fleeting blue light flashed in Oaks's eyes:
"How many people have you killed to help her recover? What does she want now?
Someone who absorbs the life force of others, I don't believe her mind isn't twisted—
Especially given her tragic past!"
"..."
In an instant, Calvin seemed to age ten years, and he slumped down weakly, clutching his head tightly.
After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice:
"Jiaying, she used to be very kind... but after that, she truly seemed like a different person..."
