Chapter 120: Depressed Nick, Black Widow

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters

Nick Fury sat in his office, frowning.

The reason was that some time ago.

The tasks he had assigned.

The two most important tasks for S.H.I.E.L.D. had no leads.

These two tasks were about Karl and Tony.

That is, Superman and Iron Man.

Actually, the task originally assigned to Coulson was indeed very important.

Tony Stark is a very important person.

And his father was also one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But the task assigned to Natasha was not that important.

After all, Natasha’s task was just to investigate the cause of Obadiah’s death.

This task seemed quite ordinary.

Obadiah was not a very important figure either.

In Nick Fury’s imagination.

This task should have been completed quickly.

As a result, he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

At first, the mission failed.

They learned that Karl possessed extraordinary abilities.

And Natasha was even threatened by the other party.

Before Nick Fury could figure out exactly what to do about Karl.

He never expected that a huge bomb would go off on Tony Stark’s side.

And it was a double-blast, no, a triple-blast.

He not only admitted his identity as Iron Man.

But also exposed Karl’s identity as Superman.

This act of directly admitting their identities.

Undoubtedly tacitly admitted that the Hulk and the Abomination were also real.

Not like the official statement given.

Saying they were filming a movie.

This would undoubtedly increase public panic.

However.

Now the public’s attention was focused on Superman and Iron Man.

They hadn't noticed the Abomination and the Hulk yet.

When they do notice, I’m afraid it will cause huge panic.

Perhaps, there will be an increase in many criminals.

Moreover, these two tasks.

Had not been completed for a long time, which was not quite right.

Contact with Tony Stark needed to be made as soon as possible.

And, he also needed to try to contact Karl Smith.

After all, these two so-called superheroes were not easy to deal with.

Karl even killed a public figure.

Nick Fury felt that he needed to clarify the intentions and attitudes of these two.

To see what these existences who possess extraordinary power.

Really thought about the world and ordinary people.

Now it seems.

Tony Stark’s problem was not too big.

Although he was a bit flashy and had killed people.

But the ones he killed were those evil warlords.

He even saved many people.

But this Karl...

Killed Obadiah.

Although, S.H.I.E.L.D. had in its hands.

Some evidence showing that Obadiah was not a good person either.

Selling weapons privately, trading with terrorists.

Even, the kidnapping of Tony Stark.

Might have been done by this person.

However, Karl killed the other party in broad daylight.

And some security personnel, which was truly too egregious.

What made Nick Fury even more concerned.

Was Karl’s attitude toward them.

The other party seemed to have seen through Natasha long ago.

Moreover, the other party’s attitude clearly didn't put them in his eyes.

He even threatened them.

Note.

This was under the condition that Natasha had taken the initiative to state her identity and purpose.

Karl was a bit too dismissive of them.

Such a thing, whoever it was, would be hard to endure.

Although the other party possessed Superman-like power.

But Nick Fury was also someone who had seen great storms and waves.

What’s more, he still had a trump card in his hand.

After thinking, Nick Fury took out his communicator.

Adjusted it slightly, and then said, "Natasha, come to my office." "Okay."

A few minutes later, Natasha, wearing a leather jacket, pushed the door open and entered.

"What’s wrong?"

Natasha walked to the desk and asked.

Nick Fury said slowly, "Regarding the task I gave you before..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Natasha couldn't help but interrupt, "Please, I don't want to do that task anymore. You haven't seen it, you don't know how powerful that man’s strength is."

"I don't even know how he got me from the stairs to the park. Tony Stark also admitted it, he is Superman."

"I think the credibility is very high, let’s just leave him alone."

Natasha, as S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top agent.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she is one of the best agents in the whole world.

The tasks assigned to her in the past were all executed perfectly.

But this time, Karl’s task was truly beyond her power.

From beginning to end, Natasha’s plans were all failing.

In the end, she was beaten up and threatened.

She still remembered Karl’s words at that time.

Natasha knew that if she went to provoke Karl again.

The other party would really kill her.

Natasha, as a top agent, didn't dare to execute Karl’s task.

Nick Fury naturally couldn't let others go to their deaths.

The matter regarding Karl was thus dragged on.

And Black Widow’s sense of fear was originally gradually weakening over time.

However.

As S.H.I.E.L.D. learned about the Abomination incident.

And obtained the on-site video.

All the staff were stunned.

Green, yellowish-brown monsters.

Iron Man, Superman.

This scene was like a movie world.

And Black Widow, seeing this scene, became panicked again.

Plus Tony Stark publicly revealing his and Karl’s identities.

It was even more impossible for Black Widow to accept a task related to Karl.

Now, hearing Nick Fury mention it, she naturally refused immediately.

Stating her position.

Black Widow is an excellent agent, that’s true, but that doesn't mean she wants to go to her death.

Nick Fury looked at her speechlessly, his face full of black lines.

Although his complexion was already quite dark.

But he had a good relationship with Black Widow and didn't want to lose a capable subordinate like this.

The other party didn't want to go, and Nick Fury didn't force it.

He said with a cold face, "I’m not asking you to execute that task."

"Aren't you very good at dealing with men?"

"You go to Tony Stark’s place."

"Infiltrate for now, don't take any extra actions, wait for further instructions." "Okay!"

Black Widow’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

Originally, she thought Nick Fury was going to ask her to find Karl.

Wasn't that asking her to go to her death?

She didn't expect it to be asking her to go to Tony Stark’s place.

This task was simply too simple.

Although Tony Stark possesses Iron Man armor.

And is a superhero.

But Iron Man doesn't have to wear the armor every moment.

What’s more, with her identity.

Even if discovered, Tony Stark wouldn't do anything excessive.

Because they had no malice.

Moreover, Tony Stark’s father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.

So there was even less of a problem.

Furthermore, Black Widow was extremely confident in dealing with men.

Mm...

Except for that freak Karl.

After all, the other party is Superman.
