Erik

As promised. I edited the original story and added the description of the MC. I also generated an AI image based on the description. You can see it in the paragraph comments.

Zane hadn't been home for long when Lorna came back, carrying a bunch of bags, obviously having a fruitful shopping trip.

Looking at the happy smile on Lorna's face, you can tell that she had a great time playing with her female classmates this time.

"Back already, tired?" Zane asked with concern.

"Not too much, it's fine," Lorna replied.

Cheerfully, Lorna put down the bag in her hand and started taking out one piece of clothing after another, gesturing them on Zane. Just as Zane was about to stand up to cook, Lorna stopped him.

"Zane, try this one, how about it? Your usual clothes make you look too mature, not at all like a young person, and you don't know how to dress yourself up."

Zane looked at his outfit in confusion. It seemed fine to him; where did the maturity come from?

Under Lorna's insistence and coaxing, Zane finally surrendered. Numbly, he became Lorna's clothes hanger, trying on one piece of clothing after another that Lorna had bought for him. Zane then realized that Lorna had almost bought nothing for herself during the shopping trip; the bags were filled with his clothes.

Zane lowered his head and looked at Lorna, who was busy arranging his outfit. He smiled gently, appreciating the feeling of being cared for. It felt nice!

As for how Lorna knew Zane's size, Zane just shrugged, indicating that she knew his secrets. Heh heh.

After a while, Lorna, satisfied with the refreshed Zane, nodded approvingly. It had to be said that women had an astonishing talent for dressing.

At this moment, Zane donning a crisp white shirt that perfectly complemented his linen-colored casual pants. The meticulous choice of pure white sneakers added a contemporary flair to his outfit. The combination not only showcased a keen sense of fashion but also radiated a timeless elegance.

Zane appeared not only stylish but notably more handsome, each element contributing to an overall look that exuded youthful energy. The clean lines and neutral tones seamlessly blended, creating a harmonious balance that accentuated his confidence and modern aesthetic.

"Not bad, I'll leave my dressing to you from now on," Zane rubbed Lorna's head, expressing his approval.

Lorna happily patted her chest, confidently saying, "No problem, I'll make sure to dress you up beautifully."

"Beautiful? Can we use 'beautiful' to describe men?" Zane was puzzled.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Braised pork, sweet and sour pork."

"Alright, I'll make it for you."

After saying that, Zane rolled up his sleeves, and Lorna tied an apron around him. As for the kitchen, Zane made it clear that Lorna wasn't allowed inside. A few days ago, Lorna enthusiastically cooked a meal herself, and Zane couldn't forget that experience.

Tomato stir-fried with tomatoes was acceptable, but why add two spoonfuls of salt, and with the rice scoop for serving?

Egg drop soup with seaweed was made by throwing seaweed and eggs directly into the water, without even cracking the eggs or removing the shells.

Zane realized that cooking was indeed a skill, and it required talent. The day after, the Skynet notified Zane that everything was ready. Zane told Lorna he would be away for a few days and asked her to take care of herself. He then teleported to the lab.

This time, he couldn't bring Lorna with him. Invading a country with technological advancement far beyond the rest of the world was not as simple as visiting a friend. If it weren't for Zane's over 30,000 resurrection attempts, he wouldn't personally undertake this task. Also, invading a nation would not be as peaceful as just dropping by.

There would be widespread destruction, with rivers of corpses and blood flowing. Zane didn't want to expose Lorna to such horrors. Besides, Lorna, being not yet an adult, might not have a firm mindset, and Zane didn't want her to carry any psychological trauma.

The lab had already prepared a helicopter, waiting for Zane. Without much talk, he got on it.

Zane had explained his plan to Skynet earlier, and now, with information from Klaue, he knew the exact location of Wakanda. Everything was well-prepared for this invasion. As for Erik Killmonger, he was just the key to open the entrance to Wakanda.

Wakanda was surrounded by an energy shield with stealth capabilities. Without Wakanda's recognition, it was impossible to enter. The strength of the shield was extremely high, withstanding even the impact of a spaceships falling in Avengers: Infinity War.

Zane believed that without alerting anyone, breaking through this shield was impossible. Wakanda was already his designated secret base, and he didn't want it to be detected.

That's why Erik Killmonger's role was crucial. With him, Zane could easily enter Wakanda without causing any disturbances.

A few hours later, Zane and his team finally arrived at what appeared to be an agricultural country on the surface but held the technological prowess of a superpower. The helicopter landed in a tribe where residents were in tattered clothes, and simple houses indicated poverty.

They even seemed to be herding cattle. If Zane didn't know the original story, he might have doubted whether he was in the right place; this was soul camouflage, after all.

Under Erik's control, the helicopter landed in a tribe that raised rhinos. Erik, carrying a large bag, got off the helicopter and walked step by step to the front gate of the tribe.

The people in the tribe noticed Erik's arrival, and with weapons in the distinctive tribal style, they surrounded him. When the new chief of the border tribe, W'Kabi, pointed to the bag Erik was dragging and asked, "What is this?"

"A gift for you," Erik replied.

Erik squatted down, unzipped the bag, revealing its contents. The people who had been watching Erik closely, upon seeing his actions, drew their swords and knives, but W'Kabi stopped them.

The bag contained what seemed to be Klaue's 'corpse,' covered in blood. For the molecular machine, disguising itself as a corpse was a simple task.

W'Kabi swore that even if Klaue turned into ashes, he would recognize that face. This man had infiltrated Wakanda not long ago, stole hundreds of kilograms of vibranium, and triggered a bomb in the border area to escape. W'Kabi's father, the former chief of the border tribe, died in that explosion.
