Chapter 178: Working for someone is impossible! Ice-type ability, Absolute Zero!

Ye Li and Stark took them and began to flip through them simultaneously.

Hmm... aside from the names, the information was mostly the same; it was just an attempt to hire the two of them as consultants for S. H. I. E. L. D.

"Finished reading, Li?"

After finishing, Tony handed the file in his hand to Ye Li and said, "Shall we swap and take a look?"

"Ah, sure."

Ye Li readily agreed, and he and Tony swapped files to read them...

Nick Fury: "..." (Can you please respect our confidentiality protocols...)

"Ahem! Since you've finished reading..."

Nick Fury snatched the files back from the hands of these two guys and asked, getting straight to the point, "What are your thoughts?"

"You can't afford me."

Tony spoke first, spreading his hands and saying, "However, I happen to need someone to help me with a small favor. Washington is going to present an award to me and Rhodes, and I'm willing to use my consulting fee to have you help me invite an award presenter."

Iron Man's implication was that he was reluctantly agreeing to the 'consultant' position, which had no real binding power.

Nick Fury nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the remaining Ye Li, "And you, Mr. Ye?"

"Sorry."

Ye Li flatly refused, "I will not work for Hydra... I mean, S. H. I. E. L. D."

Nick Fury: "It's just a consultant position."

Ye Li: "That's still a position, isn't it?"

"However, I can..."

Ye Li leaned back, opened his arms, and smiled faintly, "Cooperate with S. H. I. E. L. D. in certain aspects as the Vice President of the Ghost Spider Club, the kind that is beneficial to both sides, a win-win~"

"..."

Nick Fury was silent for a moment, then finally let out a sigh and nodded, "Fine... since Vice President Ye is unwilling... then we will proceed through a partnership."

Given the current influence of the Ghost Spider Club, Director Egg still didn't want to give up on building a good relationship, so he chose to settle for second best.

"Then, I think both of our sides need a liaison..."

Ye Li stood up, placed his hand on Barbara's shoulder, and smiled, "I recommend two candidates: Ms. Barbara from our club, and Agent Natasha from your S. H. I. E. L. D.; they happen to have already met."

Nick Fury: "..." (The number of times I've been silenced today is a bit high...)

Although he had thought of this too.

But.

Ye Li had just finished saying he didn't want to work for S. H. I. E. L. D.

And then turned around to have a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent work for the Ghost Spider Club...

That's too ruthless...

S. H. I. E. L. D., Agent Rest Base.

"Natasha, you don't know, Li is too bad, he actually took me to see the Direc... eh? What's wrong with you?"

As Barbara was speaking, she saw Natasha holding her hands under the faucet, washing them continuously...

【Could it be...】

A thought occurred to Barbara; she had seen some rookie agents act like this before.

That was because—

After they killed someone, their hands were stained with blood.

Lacking sufficient psychological resilience, they developed mental illnesses and often had hallucinations.

They thought the blood on their hands hadn't been washed off, so they kept washing, even until the skin broke...

But...

How could a seasoned agent like Natasha have such a problem...

Could it be that she killed someone she regretted deeply?

Thinking of this.

Barbara stepped forward and patted Natasha on the shoulder, comforting her, "Natasha, forget it, it's nothing... that's just how we agents are... some things are not for us to decide..."

Natasha:???

She indeed had been left with a shadow...

But not the kind of shadow Barbara was imagining...

What was on her hands wasn't red...

It was white...

The more Natasha thought about it, the angrier she got.

She said irritably, "It's all your Li's fault! Now whenever I see him, I can't help but want to wash my hands!"

"Ah? Why?"

Although Barbara didn't understand the cause and effect, she still reminded her, "But from now on, you will represent S. H. I. E. L. D. in liaising with the Ghost Spider Club; this was decided by Fury."

Natasha:??? (Doesn't that mean I'll have to see that guy all the time?)

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Matilda sat obediently in front of Ye Li, swinging her legs, feeling a bit strange as she saw her brother staring at her.
