Chapter 60
That hand on her back.
Was like a skyscraper, pinning her down so she couldn't rise at all.
No matter how Black Widow struggled, it was to no avail.
This... what is going on?
Didn't the intelligence say that Karl Smith was an ordinary person!
Whether it was his speed from before or his strength this time.
It was completely unlike what an ordinary person should have.
Before, after reading Karl’s intelligence.
Black Widow had even thought this mission would be particularly simple.
She hadn't even brought many weapons.
Compared to weapons, she had brought more.
Clothing for disguises and some small gadgets.
Plus, having read Karl’s information.
Black Widow had never thought this mission would fail.
After all, the other party was just an ordinary person.
And a playboy at that, with no difficulty at all.
But she hadn't expected the development of events to be beyond her expectations.
First, the plan to lure Karl failed.
Now.
While she was still here, contacting intelligence personnel.
Trying to figure out how to approach Karl.
She had actually been found by him and beaten up.
Black Widow was a senior agent of the Department of Homeland... Security.
Whether it was firearms or combat skills.
Her prowess was unquestionable.
Plus the powerful intelligence network of the Department of Homeland... Security.
Let alone dealing with a playboy.
Even Kingpin, that underground boss.
Black Widow would dare to take him on.
This was also why she rarely failed a mission.
Hmm.
She hadn't expected to lose this time.
Black Widow was doubting her life.
The intelligence network she had always trusted had made a huge mistake.
Karl Smith was not an ordinary person at all!
"You really never learn, do you..."
Karl looked at Black Widow, whom he was pressing to the ground, with a smile.
He personally had a certain fondness for the heroes of the Marvel world.
Otherwise.
This time, Black Widow wouldn't just be pressed to the ground.
It wouldn't be as simple as pain and dizziness.
She would likely have been blown to pieces.
Yes, literally.
The kind that truly explodes. ===== CHAPTER 217 =====
It was just that.
This Black Widow was truly ungrateful.
Earlier, when Karl met her at the restaurant and on the street.
He hadn't intended to take action.
But as it turned out.
She followed him home.
At this time, Karl was well-fed and satisfied.
And had enjoyed a pleasant walk.
Back home, it was time to do some things he liked.
He hadn't expected.
That just by casually activating his super vision, he would find Black Widow in the stairwell.
Wasn't this asking for trouble?
Wasting Karl’s time.
So, although he showed mercy.
He wasn't exactly polite either.
Black Widow heard what Karl said.
She pondered for a long while before speaking:
"Karl Smith."
"I advise you not to act rashly."
"I came here this time only to investigate the incident of Obadiah’s death."
"If you have no connection to his death."
"I won't do anything to you."
Although Black Widow was pressed to the ground by Karl.
The intensity in her words had not diminished in the slightest.
Karl laughed upon hearing this.
"What if I said that Obadiah’s death has something to do with me?"
"Then you might have to come back with me to accept an investigation."
Black Widow responded.
The threat in her tone was not hidden at all.
After all, Karl was a normal American citizen, and their Department of Homeland... Security was considered an official organization.
Normally, no one would want to get into a conflict with them.
Karl raised his eyebrows, "Then your S.H.I.E.L.D. must have a death wish."
Black Widow heard this and said coldly: "What did you say?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"I am not some S.H.I.E.L.D. person."
"I am a senior agent of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. I am currently investigating the incident of Obadiah’s death."
"And you dare to take action against me?"
Although Black Widow was very wary of Karl’s abilities.
She couldn't show it at a time like this.
"What makes you think I wouldn't dare?"
Karl glanced at Black Widow and remembered.
S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't called S.H.I.E.L.D. yet.
But was called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Fine.
If Karl didn't have a brilliant brain, he would never be able to remember such a terrible name. ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
S.H.I.E.L.D. was better.
He looked at Black Widow and continued:
"I told you just now, if you come to bother me again."
"Obadiah’s fate will be your result."
"I killed Obadiah."
"What can you do about it?"
Karl didn't intentionally hide the fact that he had killed Obadiah.
This was what he had done.
And there was no need to hide it from organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. or the FBI.
What could they do if they knew?
Come to his door to arrest him? Then they must have a death wish.
Karl was actually looking forward to that.
"You... was it really you?"
Black Widow asked in disbelief.
Although Karl had said things to her earlier.
About Obadiah, S.H.I.E.L.D., and consequences.
But at the time, Black Widow was in a tense standoff.
She hadn't paid much attention to that.
Now that Karl mentioned it again, Black Widow remembered.
She just found it hard to believe.
What was Karl’s motive?
According to the intelligence she had investigated earlier.
Between Karl and Obadiah.
There was no deep-seated hatred.
Both were shareholders of Stark Industries.
Although they hadn't interacted much, they were just nodding acquaintances.
There was truly no hatred.
The only place where there was any resentment was at the cocktail party today.
But that...
Surely that wasn't enough to warrant murder?
In reality, Black Widow didn't know.
Karl didn't understand what Obadiah was thinking either.
Even though Kingpin had stepped in to save his life.
This person had insisted on sending people to assassinate him.
It was simply seeking his own death.
Black Widow couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you kill Obadiah?"
"You two didn't have any grudges."
Karl’s calm voice sounded.
"For no reason, because he annoyed me."
"Now, you have a similar tendency."
The specific reason.
Karl naturally wouldn't tell Black Widow, nor was there any need to.
Black Widow wanted to say something upon hearing this.
But at this moment, Karl no longer wanted to pay attention to her. ===== CHAPTER 219 =====
