Chapter 137: Top Numbering

To this day, Gwen felt that all this was as unreal as a dream, as if every morning when she opened her eyes in bed, she might find that everything that had happened before was just another dream of her own.

The first is her incredible success in bringing down Wilson Fisk, the number one in New York's criminal empire. The Clarion Daily exposed a large amount of evidence of Fiske's crimes, and the incident caused an uproar throughout New York. For a time, headlines such as "The Crime Emperor Exposed" and "Urban Parasites" dominated the headlines of major newspapers and magazines, and the people's condemnation of Fisk continued like a wave.

However, Wilson Fisk, the protagonist of all this, disappeared after that night, along with his secretary James Wesley. Including his entire criminal empire, no one knows exactly where Fisk has gone. Everyone thought that he had absconded in fear of crime, but his actions were extremely stealthy, and perhaps by this time he was already basking in the sun incognito on some sunny beach with his big belly.

But they were wrong. Wilson Fisk didn't go anywhere, he remained in New York, but he was buried six feet underneath.

The day after Fisk's downfall, Gwen was approached by her boss. Michael told her that he had passed the exam, and he cut the space out of thin air, and Gwen followed him through the circle with wide eyes and curiosity to the core base.

The moment she realizes she's on an alien mothership, Gwen almost gets petrified.

WTF!? It's an alien mothership! A mothership floating above the Earth! Why hasn't anyone told her this until now!?

What other base could be cooler than this?

She couldn't help but stop as she passed the first pane of glass in the hallway. She subconsciously leaned on the glass, looking out with her beautiful blue eyes wide open. She saw a huge blue orb hanging directly below them, like a glass ball filled with water, with an endless pitch-black universe in the background, dotted with twinkling stars.

It's not something you see every day. Although she hadn't seen the Earth in photographs or videos before, nothing could compare to the shock of standing on an alien spaceship. She lay there for a moment, only to turn back when she realized that her boss was standing with a blank face, patiently waiting for her to recover from the shock.

"That's amazing." Gwen said.

Michael shrugged his shoulders and continued to lead her inside.

Although Gwen repeatedly told herself to act calm and not to look like a little girl who had never seen the world, it was really hard. She couldn't control herself from looking around with her eyes wide open as she entered each new room, like a cute and curious baby.

Michael led her to a dormitory, pulled out a white card, and swiped the door open. Then he handed the card to Gwen.

"This is your room." "This card is your key to the door and your ID card at the same time," he said. It can swipe through almost all the doors in the fifteen-mile-long fortress, and has access to eighty percent of the equipment and databases, though it requires biometric authentication to be effective. In other words, it only works when you hold it in your hand. ”

After a pause, he emphasized: "Don't lose it. ”

Gwen cautiously put the card away, and then seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Wait," she raised an eyebrow, "did you just say, fifteen miles?" ”

Michael didn't say anything, but she read the answer from his expression.

"Oh my God!" She was surprised, "Fifteen mile long spaceship? Is this a galactic battleship? ”

Michael's expression still looks like "a broken ship, don't make a fuss". He said lightly: "In the afternoon, you will be free to move around here, and later I will arrange for some agreements to be sent to the equipment in the room, and you still need to go through some simple procedures and sign a few words." Before that, you can get to know your teammates, and your neighbor will show you around the environment and introduce you to some basic things. ”

"My neighbor?"

The door slid open again, and a red-haired girl dressed in black appeared outside the door, smiling at her and waving her hand, "Gwen, long time no see." ”

"Wanda!" Gwen was pleasantly surprised. After she was taken out of the cloning lab by Michael, Wanda was also one of the first people she saw when she opened her eyes, and the two have always had a good relationship.

Wanda stepped forward and hugged her warmly, "Welcome aboard, Spider Girl." ”

"Actually, it's Spider-Woman, forget it, anyway, everyone says so." Gwen sighed.

"Then our new companion will be handed over to you." Michael patted Wanda on the shoulder, "It's a pleasure to get along." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Wanda grinned, "Gwen will feel like at home." ”

***

Once Gwen's business was arranged, Michael went back to his office in the Paso Group. During this time, the company was busy with large projects in urban construction, especially the affairs of the industrial zone in the middle of the city circle, so as the chairman of the board of directors, he had to spend a little more time in the company.

After returning to the office to answer a few phone calls and sign a few words, Elizabeth, who was on high heels, walked in briskly.

"Something's wrong, sir." She got straight to the point.

"What's the matter?"

"We've lost something." Elizabeth brought a document and pushed it along the table to Michael. Michael glanced at the cover, which was emblazoned with a special golden stamp.

It was a seal of the highest level of secrecy, and according to the rules, no one else was allowed to view its contents until Michael himself had seen it, not even Elizabeth.

"It's an item numbered AXCR-3920, and during a routine inventory operation by the relevant departments this morning, it was found that what should have been stored in the warehouse was missing, and the whole thing was emptied."

At the first glance of the golden seal on the cover of the document, Michael sat up straight: "What measures were taken?" ”

"Nothing was taken." Elizabeth said, "I gave the order." I told them not to take action for the time being, and then I called up the relevant numbered documents and asked you directly. ”

"You're doing the right thing." Michael unsealed, quickly glanced at the contents of the document, and frowned slightly.

"Sir, do I need to know what we lost?"

"No, I'll take care of this." Michael closed the cover and said lightly, "Notify the departments below that everything is business as usual, no need to call the police or notify any other departments, everything is business as usual." ”

Elizabeth didn't ask much when she listened, but nodded, "Yes, sir." ”
