"After I get back, I'll inform Susan. For any specific matters after that, you can discuss them with Susan.
You can also connect with Susan regarding technical data related to gravity; she will pass it on to Dr. Reed.
If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
With the matters settled, Hawking instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique on the spot and vanished.
Nick Fury's pupils contracted at the sight:
"Is this… the ability of spatial teleportation?"
He had seen teleportation abilities before; S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence contained many individuals with such powers.
In the CIA archives, a former Mutant called Red Devil possessed teleportation abilities, as did Nightcrawler, who was manipulated by Stryker to assassinate the President and is now at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
However, aside from teleportation, they were not much stronger than ordinary people, and there were many ways to restrict them.
These included enclosed high-voltage power grids, magnetic field interference, and quantum field interference.
But Hawking was different. With the powerful strength Hawking had demonstrated, combined with his teleportation ability, it was truly not a case of one plus one equals two.
Hawking could easily destroy the machines that could restrict teleportation with a mere flick of his hand.
"Forget it. At least his heart leans towards goodness and justice. As long as he isn't provoked, perhaps in the future, he will be the most powerful weapon against aliens."
Through today's transaction, he genuinely recognized Hawking's character.
Although he sometimes acted ruthlessly and was uncontrollable, he was never confused in the face of major right and wrong. He readily agreed to his terms regarding the Apocalypse incident and this time to eliminate HYDRA.
Furthermore, through his continuous observation, the Hero Alliance International Company founded by Hawking had indeed made a lot of money, but the sources were legitimate, and the actions taken were genuinely for the sake of justice.
Even if some scoundrels emerged, Hawking dealt with them all without mercy.
Moreover, Hawking seemed to show little interest in power; he left the company to his subordinates to manage, spending most of his time cultivating at school.
His rare long trips were to save his good friend, Logan.
All these factors made him feel that his attitude towards Hawking needed some adjustment. Since he couldn't control him, he should maintain a good partnership.
It's like if someone is a little stronger than you, you might be jealous, but if they are much stronger, you will only admire them; it's the same principle.
Before, he thought Hawking was strong, but he had Captain Marvel, and the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., so he wasn't without a chance to control Hawking and turn him into a force in his hands.
But now, Hawking's strength and abilities were unfathomable to him, his influence was growing immensely, and his character was impeccable.
Now, he had no way of controlling Hawking and could only forcibly change his mindset to avoid bringing disaster to S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future.
"Director, the coffee is here."
At this moment, Agent Hill personally walked in with two cups of coffee.
Seeing only Nick Fury in the office, she couldn't help but ask:
"He left. Did he agree?"
"He agreed. You'll connect with Ms. Susan shortly, and then send her the compiled data we have on gravity technology."
Nick Fury nodded:
"Also, remove all surveillance on Hawking, Hero Alliance International Company, and Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. From now on, we'll focus all our efforts on HYDRA!"
"Reed, how is it? Can you build a fifty-times Gravity Chamber?"
In the gravity research lab, Hawking stared at Dr. Reed, who was reviewing documents, and asked.
Reed closed the documents and nodded with some emotion:
"I never thought someone could research gravity technology to such a profound extent.
According to the contents of this data, I can build a Gravity Chamber with a maximum of fifty times gravity in just one month.
However, as I said before, the technology is there, but the strength of existing alloys on Earth probably cannot withstand fifty times gravity."
"You don't have to worry about that. I've already found a special metal alloy. Not to mention fifty times, five hundred times won't be a problem. It should be delivered here tomorrow."
Hawking quickly said.
Reed's eyes lit up upon hearing this:
"If such a metal truly exists, then there will definitely be no problem."
"Good, very good, Dr. Reed. As long as you can build a fifty-times Gravity Chamber, then all those miscellaneous technologies you mentioned wanting to research, I will support them all.
The sooner you finish, the sooner you can start your own research."
Hawking laughed heartily and patted Reed's shoulder.
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
Reed's interest was not in gravity technology, but in the plethora of technologies in his mind that he believed could benefit all of humanity.
So he had always hoped Hawking would invest in his research.
However, Hawking didn't care about those fanciful technologies for the benefit of humanity; what he cared about most was improving his own strength, which meant the Gravity Chamber.
Therefore, he had rejected them all.
Now, as long as the fifty-times Gravity Chamber was completed, then with his current strength, he wouldn't have to worry for several years, so he could naturally put other things aside.
"Really? Mr. Hawking, I promise you, in twenty days, I will definitely build the fifty-times Gravity Chamber for you!"
Indeed, upon hearing Hawking's words, Reed's eyes also began to gleam.
After leaving the gravity research lab, Hawking originally planned to return to school to cultivate while awaiting good news from Reed, but he was stopped by Susan, who had already returned ahead of time.
"Hawking, wait a moment. There are some issues that require your decision."
"What's wrong? Is it about Mariko, or S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Currently, these were the two major matters the company was handling.
"Neither. Mariko is protected by Logan and Yuriko Oyama, so there won't be any problems.
As for S.H.I.E.L.D., we are just cooperating; we'll act according to Director Fury's arrangements when the time comes.
What I want to talk to you about are some issues regarding the Worlds First Esper Ability Competition."
"Oh, right, and the Inhumans Convention."
Hawking suddenly realized. There had been so many things recently that he had forgotten about this matter.
Seeing Hawking's expression, Susan's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Could he really forget such an important matter?
"What's wrong with the Inhumans Convention? Is the promotion not going well?"
Hawking also noticed Susan's unusual reaction and quickly coughed to cover it up.
He had indeed felt the Inhumans Convention was quite important before, as it could further increase the company's visibility, attract more ability users, and help Mutants be better accepted.
However, compared to the improvement of his own strength, it naturally became insignificant. His own strength was the most important thing; everything else was superficial.
His current focus was entirely on the fifty-times Gravity Chamber.
