Chapter 209: The Duel of Hearts

Natasha: "......"

Is this deck of yours serious?

In the President's private lounge, Gwen, Jessica, and Felicia were all sitting beside Ye Li.

Skye and Cindy, however, sat on the opposite sofa, their gazes pretending to be fixed on the Yu-Gi-Oh cards on the table, looking a bit like they couldn't quite fit in...

As for the difference between them...

It's hard to explain in detail...

"Gwen."

Ye Li asked while holding the beauty's soft shoulders, "Why are you all wearing high school uniforms today?"

"Because our high school life is almost over~"

Gwen smoothed out her dress and smiled sweetly, "So we wanted to wear these school uniforms, which we haven't worn many times, together."

Ye Li felt inexplicably excited, "Will you be wearing them like this for the next few days?"

"Huh?"

Gwen was just pulling her JK black stockings over her jade-like feet; she was slightly stunned when she heard this, "Yeah? What's wrong?"

"If Master likes it~"

Felicia gently flicked her cat tail, knelt down in a feline posture, elegantly crawled over from the other end of the sofa, and placed her fair hand on Ye Li's shoulder, "We can wear anything you want~"

"Ahem!" Jessica coughed twice to remind them, holding firm to her principles, "Not anything!"

Listening to the melodious voices of the different young girls.

Ye Li glanced at the scattered duel cards on the table and smiled happily, 【Playing cards with cute, beautiful girls is truly wonderful~】

However.

Unpleasant things soon arrived———

Knock, knock, knock~

A knock on the door sounded.

Barbara's voice came from outside the door, "Li, Natasha is here. She's here representing S. H. I. E. L. D."

Ye Li looked toward Gwen and Felicia, "You guys should hide first."

Their superhero identities hadn't been exposed yet, and they couldn't let Black Widow find out.

Swoosh—! (Gwen)

Whoosh—! (Jessica)

Tap—! (Felicia)

Zoom—! (Cindy)

The girls seemed to have misunderstood his intent, as they all moved at once to hide...

Skye didn't have superpowers for the moment, so she was a beat slower. She sat where she was, looking a bit flustered, and asked, "Do I need to avoid her?"

Ye Li: "Ah... no need..."

Swoosh—!

"Hey!" (Skye)

Before he could finish, Gwen and Cindy both shot out spider silk, pulling Skye into their hiding spot...

Ye Li: "......" 【What is the meaning of this?】

"May I come in? Mr. Ye?"

Outside the door, Natasha knocked on the door herself to ask.

"Come in."

Click~

Natasha turned the door lock and walked in. Before entering, Barbara gave her a "good luck" look.

Slam!

She closed the door right behind her.

Ye Li found it amusing and reached out to gesture to the seat where Cindy had just been sitting, "Sit."

Natasha moved to sit down, examining her surroundings without leaving a trace... This situation felt familiar; the last time they talked in Ye Li's room, it was just like this...

【Why is it always like this every time I'm alone with him...】

The seasoned agent felt like washing her hands again...

Next.

It was time for some tedious conversation.

Black Widow spoke for a while.

Ye Li grew annoyed listening to her, so he got straight to the point, "Agent Natasha, so 'Egghead' wants our club to send a superhero to join his Avengers Alliance, right?"

"It's the Avengers..."

Natasha said earnestly, "... It would be even better if you could contact Black Spider. This incident concerns the entire world, so I ask Mr. Ye to please take it seriously."

【Give me a break...】

Ye Li muttered to himself: 【With the Chitauri army's level of being unable to even withstand a nuclear bomb, and they say it concerns the entire world...】

"Black Spider is out of the question, and I won't let the girls join Fury's 'Big Boys' Alliance."

"It's the Avengers..."

Natasha corrected him again. She was still in the plan, so how did it become the "Big Boys' Alliance"...

"Don't be in such a hurry, Agent Romanoff."

Ye Li leaned back against the sofa and said comfortably, "I can recommend a candidate for you, but whether he's willing to join depends on his own wishes."

Natasha: "Who is it?"

"Daredevil, Matt Murdock."

"He..."

Black Widow only had a slight impression of the name. After taking out her inquiry device to search, she finally understood Daredevil's background and hesitated, "But he's not on the original list. I'll have to discuss it with Nick..."

"He might not even be willing to join you guys."

Ye Li knew Murdock wouldn't join the Avengers, and bringing him up was just to brush her off.

"Miss Natasha, the business is finished. Are you interested in going to admire the night sky with me for a while?"

After Ye Li finished speaking, he reached out an invitation.

Natasha's eyes flickered... 【This might be an opportunity...】

Having made up her mind, she beamed and generously took his hand...

After Ye Li left with Natasha, several pretty beauties poked their heads out, stretching their swan-like necks~

"Is Brother going to take her to the rooftop?"

Jessica jumped out first, "It definitely won't be anything good."

Felicia asked curiously, "Has Master taken a fancy to that red-haired female agent?"

Cindy was a bit worried, "Will Li be alright?"

"Alright, alright."

Gwen tidied up the game cards scattered on the table, "Li definitely has his reasons. He's very smart~ He won't be used by S. H. I. E. L. D."

"Hmph, hmph~"

Skye's lips curled into a smile, "With Teacher's personality, that's not necessarily true..."

The girls chattered and began to talk again.
