Chapter 229

"..."

After hearing Captain America's explanation.

Lei Shen was embarrassed.

He went to a corner to wallow in self-isolation...

"It seems you are getting along quite well."

After checking the scepter, Nick Fury came to the main control room, his one eye scanning Iron Man as he spoke.

"Tony, can you get off the table?"

"Fine."

Tony pushed off the table with both hands.

However, he didn't behave, and suddenly pointed at a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent, complaining to Fury.

"Hey! Fury, that guy is playing a game; he thought no one saw him, but I discovered it!"

The one-eyed man: "..."

Natasha then asked Nick Fury.

"How is Daredevil?"

Nick Fury shook his head.

"Matt Murdock rejected the agent I sent to invite him, but that is irrelevant; we are not short of this one person, Barbara's standard is no worse than his."

Natasha: "Are you planning to recall Barbara?"

"If necessary."

Nick Fury's expression was serious: "These are extraordinary times; every S. H. I. E. L. D. member is on standby."

"Wow, Barbara?"

Tony looked at Black Widow, his expression teasing.

"Li's personal bodyguard? Also an agent like you? Oh, you guys are really something... Fury, do you guess I will snitch?"

"That is no longer important."

Fury walked to the console and reached out a hand to operate it: "The scepter has shown us Mr. Ye's sincerity; Barbara's infiltration can be canceled at any time."

Following his operation.

The image of the Mind Scepter was projected.

"Tony, Dr. Banner, you are responsible for researching this..."

"Ah—~"

Barbara's beautiful eyes were sleepy as she let out a yawn.

Wrapped in a pure white sheet.

Two snow-white feet landed on the floor.

The soft, light fabric dragged across the floor.

The exquisite curves of her jade legs appeared and disappeared in between.

She walked to the window and pulled the curtain open a little.

Fresh, pale golden-white radiance shone obliquely into the room.

"The sun has risen..."

Beep—

The small green-screen communicator on the nightstand received a message from S. H. I. E. L. D.: —Requiring her to be on standby, ready to cancel her infiltration at the club at any time.

【Oh no... forgot about this thing...】

Barbara tiptoed on her bare feet, cautiously approaching the nightstand, wanting to put the communicator away first.

Relying on her gymnastics and contortionist skills, she silently... snuck back to the bedside.

Just as her delicate fingers touched the target.

A hand gripped her slender wrist.

"Good morning, your yoga is not bad."

The beauty with emerald eyes paused slightly, hurriedly retracting her little hand, and said somewhat unnaturally.

"Good morning... what do you want for breakfast? I'll go prepare it for you; you should sleep a little longer..."

"Hoo~"

Ye Li exhaled a breath of turbid air and pulled the white satin and the beauty into his arms. "My breakfast is you~"

"Can I try this sword?"

"Mmm."

Matilda handed the Asgardian treasure sword to Jessica. "It glows."

"It does."

Jessica held the sword in her hand, and the blade indeed lit up with a white radiance, overpowering the sunlight, even more dazzling than the morning glow.

Unlike Lei Shen's hammer, Mjolnir, this sword could be used by anyone who held it.

"What is its name?"

"Eh, the weird uncle didn't say..."

Matilda looked at the treasure sword and said, "Since it glows, why not call it a light saber."

"No, that name has already been registered."

Jessica took a small black stick from her waist, pressed the switch, and a scorching blue radiance shot out; it was exactly the prototype light saber Ye Li had retrieved from Tony.

She held the two glowing swords in her left and right hands, curiously comparing them.

"Matilda, which one do you think is more powerful?"

Matilda shook her head. "Jessica, don't mess around; it won't be good if you break it."

"Mmm, that's true."

Jessica was also afraid of breaking her precious light saber, so she turned off the switch and put it away.

She held up Matilda's treasure sword and said.

"Yours can be called the White Light Saber; I'll take you to find Li and have him get someone to make a scabbard for you."

"Do you have anything..."

Ye Li asked Barbara softly.

"You want to say to me?"

"I..."

Barbara pursed her lips... somewhat hesitant.

She was wavering.

Should she reveal her identity as a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent...

Seeing her hesitation, Ye Li changed his phrasing.

"Do you think your career is more important, or your life?"

"You... what do you mean?"

Barbara was slightly startled.

Could it be that he has already guessed my identity...

"... I mean... perhaps both can be balanced."

Seeing that Barbara still didn't want to confess voluntarily, Ye Li hugged her tighter. "... With our current deep relationship, are you still willing to be my personal bodyguard?"

"Unhuh~ I... I am willing..."

Barbara was just responding.

Knock knock knock!

Jessica's voice came in, accompanied by the knocking on the door. ===== CHAPTER 231 =====
