There was nothing she could do. After all, she was just a little female secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the boss had needs, she naturally had to try her best to satisfy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfy in all senses...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Felicia felt a very peculiar sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five times the sensitivity, shared senses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, something was wrong, stop the action!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia's mind flashed back to the tragic scene of that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felicia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I'm sorry! I'm too pathetic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia wanted to find a hole to crawl into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While apologizing with her head down, she felt a little hot, so she casually hung her 'jacket' on the 'hanger', relaxed her body, and embraced nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron nodded. This was what an apology should entail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn't ready. Now we can start the formal work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Felicia got into the zone, she seriously explained Osborn Industries' latest work arrangements. She was trying to distract herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron didn't expose her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss... Boss, during your absence, there were nine espionage incidents in the Corporation, including one Mutant infiltration, but they were discovered and expelled immediately upon entry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other eight were all arrested and have been taken over by the FBI...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron interrupted her with a slight squeeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia took a deep breath. \"Boss, do you have any instructions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure it's the FBI and not S.H.I.E.L.D.?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia shook her head. \"Doesn't feel like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he let them off without an explanation for daring to invade his territory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, he dialed Barbara's private number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, this is Adeline. If you need to contact me about tutoring, I'm sorry, I no longer need the work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Aaron heard this, he immediately knew that Barbara had someone else with her, and it was definitely someone from S.H.I.E.L.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have eight children here who need a teacher's guidance.\" Aaron said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barbara was about to reply when Felicia accidentally stumbled and cried out, \"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was another smack, as she sat on the ground, hurting herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red and with five stripes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barbara's heart skipped a beat, she glanced at her phone and hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She subconsciously picked up a glass of water and drank it to cool down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from her, Fury's expression was strange as he glanced at the water dispenser nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't know you had a habit of drinking plain boiled water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't, but that monster does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barbara's expression was calm as she said, \"Aaron likes to drink plain boiled water, and I have to cater to his preferences, including the indoor temperature, the size of the door, and even sounds and actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury frowned upon hearing this. \"These rich people... Each one is stranger than the last.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't continue to suspect, after all, as an agent, the cost and effort required to approach a target are far beyond what outsiders can imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, if the target has some strange quirks, one can only grit their teeth and continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulties involved are not for outsiders to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's your first time doing this kind of mission, and you've already thought of so much. You truly are the most outstanding student from the last batch.\" Fury nodded in praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agents also need emotional validation. A Director must occasionally pay attention to the state of his subordinates to better accomplish missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's all thanks to Director's good teaching. Oh, right, I need to request some assistance, which might help me with my upcoming work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Barbara immediately made her request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Need people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Fury immediately became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need the list of those eight people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Given Aaron's personality, he definitely wouldn't tolerate outsiders invading his territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can use this as a ticket...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury fell into hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is very troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaron, he...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone will give it to you shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the name Aaron, Fury agreed without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidence suggests that during the incident in New Mexico, Aaron went to the mythical Asgard with the legendary Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been racking its brains trying to figure out the identities of those people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concerning aliens and legendary Gods, no amount of importance is too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the entities behind those individuals... compared to these matters, what are they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't clean up after those idiots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fury had given the orders, a call came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury immediately became serious. \"There's news confirming that Aaron has returned to Osborn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Barbara knew her chance had come and immediately said, \"I'll contact him now regarding Kate's studies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury nodded. \"Barbara, you are the hope of S.H.I.E.L.D. From now on, it's all up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take him down as quickly as possible and gain his complete trust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barbara nodded, but inwardly, she was dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take him down? How could she take down the other party? With a broken doll?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire body had been consumed, and her body and mind had instead been taken down by the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm a disgrace to the Agent World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barbara saw Fury off and immediately eagerly contacted Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, she drove towards Osborn Industries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just S.H.I.E.L.D., the entire world was in turmoil due to Aaron's return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, even though everyone knew what Aaron was about to do, after Aaron's return, they all ceased all activities by unspoken agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including major arrangements like state visits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Earth became uncommonly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, several celebrity scandals suddenly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was eagerly feasting on the gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this peculiar moment, Aaron received the information from S.H.I.E.L.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't open it immediately but looked at Barbara, who was wearing a white Barbie doll princess dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad, it really had a certain charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Aaron could speak, Barbara glanced at Felicia, who was resting from excessive training, gave her a provocative glare, and biting her lip, said tearfully, \"I'm sorry, Master. I hung up your call just now. Please administer the punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barbara took out a whip from behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron looked on in surprise. 'Woman, you really know how to play.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't be merciful, punish Barbara harshly. Barbara will work hard in the future and will never disappoint Master's expectations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could Aaron do? Of course, he had to satisfy his woman's M-tendency hobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just treat it as dessert before the main course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, the sky was dark and gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron had time to review the information provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sokovia mercenaries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Councilman Rudolp's private detective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten Rings' members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peripheral members of an unknown underground gang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And assassins from an unknown organization?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the list in his hand, Aaron smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassins, and from an unknown organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't that clearly saying S.H.I.E.L.D.?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, Hydra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, in the Marvel Universe, if you can't find the culprit, pinning the blame on Hydra is always correct. Even if they didn't act directly, they definitely provided indirect assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities, is it really that difficult to confirm identities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron didn't care about all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you haven't figured it out, don't blame me for implicating others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron knew that this list certainly had more than just this one issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, who instructed the underground gang members?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sokovia is a small country, where would such bold mercenaries come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Councilman Rudolp...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron immediately searched online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a newly appointed Councilman. Was he crazy to dare to cause trouble for Aaron?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't he see those Military bigwigs and U.S. high-ranking officials endorsing Osborn? Was he perhaps out of his mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was probably pushed out by certain people to be cannon fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, they all think I'm an idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Aaron was thinking, he suddenly sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the sky, his gaze narrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you've finally arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1333,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","c9d8e66bc104cda1fc0b8ae58f53d83a70348cb2b699c58d60c513769e8d3c23","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-97","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-95",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
