"Although the Carl Family operates as a hidden neutral force, in order to keep the Card Bearers constantly in combat and training, the family will secretly establish an underground mercenary organization in the world. It will be publicly announced, and others will have to pay a sufficient value of items for temporary recruitment. Each mission will only involve a single Card Bearer."
"Card Bearers can convert the money or items they legally earn through their own strength and efforts into contributions to the Carl Family, which we call Evolution Points. These Evolution Points can be exchanged for the Infinity Formula and various types of advanced technology weapons."
"This way, the Carl Family will become self-sufficient."
As Kyle finished explaining, Howard nodded thoughtfully, understanding the reason why he had so carefully defined "Evolution" and "Evolution Points."
When a family had positive competition and goals to strive for, even without pushing, it would naturally start running faster and faster.
"By the way, have you had any contact with Wakanda?" Kyle suddenly remembered this important matter.
"Um, Wakanda…" Howard scratched the back of his head awkwardly and answered helplessly, "I had someone go there for an on-site investigation. I found that the place is remote, and the indigenous people there live in extreme poverty. I was planning to donate some supplies in the name of Stark Industry, but it turns out the locals didn't appreciate it at all and were quite resistant to any help."
When he heard the reports from his subordinates, he was surprised for quite a while. In the years immediately after the war, it was unexpected to encounter resistance to donations in an impoverished African nation.
Kyle, upon hearing this, had a strange expression on his face as he asked, "What did you donate?"
"Some daily necessities, blankets, clothes, and such. These are things that Africa urgently needs. Is there a problem?" Howard was puzzled, not understanding what the issue was.
Kyle: "…"
This was like giving a millionaire a single coin in a donation. No wonder Wakanda didn't even give Stark Industry a second glance.
"Forget it, do you have any photos from Wakanda?"
Kyle asked Howard directly. Howard was taken aback for a moment but then retrieved the photos from the on-site investigation and handed them to Kyle.
In the black-and-white photos, there were the flat plains and hills of Wakanda, with the distant sight of indigenous people grazing and various primitive houses.
Kyle memorized the scenes from the photos, transformed into his usual hooded leather jacket with Venom's help, and urged, "Get ready; we're going to pay a visit to Wakanda."
"Now? We're going to Wakanda?" Howard was taken aback. This was completely unexpected – a journey that was decided and set off without any prior preparation.
"I don't have much time left on Earth. If I can spend it here, then I need to get everything done as soon as possible." Kyle shrugged, sounding somewhat resigned.
Time waits for no one! The ample fifty years that he originally had on Earth had now been forcibly reduced to two or three months…
"Alright, I'll prepare a plane." Howard nodded heavily and took off the white coat he was wearing to reveal a suit underneath.
"No need." Kyle chuckled, lifting his finger adorned with the Sling Ring. He spun his other hand in a circular motion, causing a Golden Circle to appear in front of them.
"Follow me."
As the Mars circle formed, Kyle stepped forward into the portal, saying, "Let's go."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot that you still have this trick up your sleeves." Howard shook his head with a wry smile, accustomed to Kyle's unreasonable methods of travel but still finding them incredible.
He quickly followed behind Kyle, entering the portal, and together they vanished from the underground level.
…
Africa, the nation of Wakanda.
Suddenly, a golden circle appeared in the wilderness, and the figures of Kyle and Howard emerged from it, standing on the grassy ground.
"We're really in Wakanda?" Howard marveled as he looked at the scene before him, which was identical to the photos. It was undoubtedly Wakanda.
Though he had witnessed Kyle's illogical method of travel many times, he still found it astonishing and difficult to comprehend.
After all, one moment they were in the underground level of Stark Industry in New York, and the next they were on the other side of the Earth.
"That's hardly scientific," Howard couldn't help but comment, to which Kyle waved his hand to dismiss the portal behind him before he chuckled and said, "Just wait; I'll show you the science within science."
Just then, on the vast wilderness grassland before them, a few black dots emerged in the distance, appearing to be moving closer to them.
Howard pointed curiously ahead and asked, "What's that?"
Kyle's vision was extraordinary and was several times better than Howard's. He saw things clearly and said calmly, "They are local indigenous guards, they are coming this way while riding rhinoceroses."
"What!" Howard was taken aback before he hesitated a little and asked, "I've heard that unauthorized entry into Wakanda results in the locals angrily and brutally driving the intruders away. Kyle, you should be able to defeat them, right?"
"Naturally. But I didn't bring you here for a fight." Kyle said but there was a hint of annoyance in his voice. He lightly waved his left hand, adorned with the Sling Ring, and the surrounding scene reflected like a mirror.
"We're just going to stand here?" Howard watched as three dark-skinned, shirtless indigenous people with muscular bodies, each riding a large rhinoceros, approached. Their savage aura was overwhelming, and he couldn't help but hide behind Kyle.
Kyle, however, remained still, calm, and composed. As the indigenous riders and their rhinoceroses came within three meters, they completely ignored the two men and swiftly passed by them.
The lead robust tribesman pulled the reins, bringing his rhinoceros to a halt, the kicked-up dust settling. He muttered to himself, "Did I see wrong? I could've sworn I saw someone here; there were outsiders."
The other two tribesmen sat atop their rhinoceroses, surveying their surroundings. Their gazes landed on the grassy area where Kyle and Howard were situated a few times, but without pause, they continued scanning elsewhere.
"Why didn't they notice our presence?" Howard stared at the indigenous people less than ten meters away with a dumbfounded expression on his face and asked with wide eyes, "Kyle, what did you do?"
"We are currently in the Mirror Dimension, we are not in the same dimension as their reality." Kyle patted Howard's shoulder and gestured forward, "Let's go. We're delving deeper into Wakanda within this Mirror Dimension to explore its inner workings."
The Mirror Dimension was a high-level sorcerer's spell used to observe people and things in the outside world while hiding in a concealed space to evade danger.
Within a certain area of reality, as long as one entered the Mirror Dimension in advance, they could move inside it, ignoring external guards and defenses, and reach the specific area of reality they wanted to explore.
Kyle and Howard walked within the Mirror Dimension corresponding to Wakanda, passing through the indigenous communities and landscapes on the grasslands.
Finally, the two arrived at the deepest part of Wakanda, which revealed a stunning hidden location.
"My God!" Howard exclaimed. The dreamlike scene before him left him wide-eyed, and Howard felt that his body and soul were trembling violently.
Kyle gazed ahead, shaking his head in amazement as he spoke, "This is the real thing."
