"Natasha Romanoff?"
Seeing the famous Black Widow from the Marvel Universe appear before him, Michael was very surprised.
How long had it been since he spoke to Nick Fury? Black Egg had already recalled this Black Widow, who was old in heart but not in appearance.
"Where is Nick Fury? Why didn't he come?"
Michael had a hint of understanding in his heart. This Black Egg had probably really sensed something, after all, he had secretly established an underground force that could almost rival S.H.I.E.L.D.
Of course, it could only rival it in scale; if it could rival it in strength as well, how could HYDRA have remained hidden for so many years?
"Director said he needs to prepare more of these things, and I believe Mr. Michael can understand."
Natasha Romanoff walked towards Michael with stunning steps and a charming demeanor, casually lifting the box in her hand. She didn't call Michael 'Emperor' or anything like others.
In fact, looking at Michael's young face, Natasha Romanoff was deeply surprised. As one of the few people Nick Fury could trust, how could he not give Natasha Romanoff information about Michael?
Natasha Romanoff had absolutely not expected that this man, who had just appeared so abruptly, would actually be the king of a cosmic power. This was truly quite interesting!
"If that's the case, then of course, I completely understand!"
Coming to the reception area with practiced ease, Michael extended his hand, and a tea set materialized.
After doing it many times, Michael had already gotten used to it. Whether drinking by himself or entertaining guests, Michael liked to brew tea.
Anyway, this was what he liked. As for guests, well, they could drink it or not.
"Please sit."
Michael skillfully boiled water and brewed tea.
"Mr. Michael, please take a look. How much information can these items exchange for?"
To be honest, Natasha Romanoff really wanted to play along slowly with Michael, but seeing Michael's cold demeanor and remembering Nick Fury's instructions, Natasha Romanoff still made the choice first, opening the box in her hand and turning it towards Michael.
Of course, in Michael's view, this was completely normal operation; the initiative was in Michael's hands.
What's more, this was entirely a seller's market; whether or not to sell you information depended on Michael's mood.
To expect the Black Widow to use a honey trap on Michael was completely wishful thinking!
Even if the Black Widow did fit Eastern aesthetics, and even Michael's aesthetics, so what? Thinking about the Black Widow's dark past, Michael became more like Liu Xiahui, more like a saint!
"Wow!"
Looking at the scattered but not sparse Tesseract energy blocks in the box, Michael's mood was incredibly pleasant.
"This is truly a beautiful and captivating color!"
Although he had sensed it before, the box Natasha Romanoff was carrying contained a huge amount of energy. But he hadn't expected that after the box was opened, the energy fluctuations emanating from it would be even more obvious and much greater!
It was clear that this box must have been made of a unique material, and the huge energy fluctuations it concealed were also a good thing.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Completely oblivious to the displeasure hidden in Natasha Romanoff's eyes, who saw only the energy blocks and not the beauty, Michael took out these energy blocks one by one to examine them, quickly estimating their approximate value.
This is a massive amount of energy from the Tesseract energy blocks, ten or even dozens of times stronger than the First-generation Arc Reactor brought by HYDRA! Michael estimated that each Tesseract energy block is worth around 500,000 to 800,000 energy points! And this box contains a full ten (10) such energy blocks! That means it's worth at least five million energy points! Tsk tsk tsk, and this is just S.H.I.E.L.D.'s… technology used to create these energy blocks. If the Tesseract were to fall into Michael's hands… it would surely shatter instantly. Michael stated, with the Space Stone, who needs the Tesseract? "So, Mr. Michael, can you tell us who S.H.I.E.L.D.'s… biggest enemy is, and how we can eliminate them?"
Although she didn't want to interrupt Michael's admiration of the energy blocks, Natasha Romanoff, remembering that Director Fury was waiting for her news, flashed a smile that made one's heart pound, and asked seductively.
"Of course!"
Michael withdrew his admiring gaze from the energy blocks, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the energy blocks, along with the box that originally contained them, into his spatial ring. He placed them in the display cabinet next to the First-generation Arc Reactor he had acquired from HYDRA earlier. These… are all Michael's personal collection! "S.H.I.E.L.D.'s… biggest enemies currently are two-fold!"
Looking at Natasha Romanoff, who was trying to exude her charm, Michael remained unmoved. He even gave an evil smile and threw out a mischievous choice: "One is S.H.I.E.L.D.… under Director Fury's leadership. The other is S.H.I.E.L.D.… itself!"
Just as Michael said, S.H.I.E.L.D.…, based on two different states, has different biggest threats.
First, S.H.I.E.L.D.… under Director Fury's leadership: its biggest threat is naturally the Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. division hidden in the shadows.
Second, purely from the perspective of S.H.I.E.L.D.… as an organization itself, Director Fury, the ostensible Director, who secretly drains S.H.I.E.L.D.'s… marrow and builds his own power in private, is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s… biggest threat! "I am very satisfied with these energy blocks you brought, so I will give you an opportunity for more choices!"
Michael smiled like a demon, "I can tell you about both of these enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D.…, based on different foundations, but you won't be able to know the next steps on how to quickly and safely eliminate the enemy. Or, you can choose one direction, and I can tell you how to quickly and safely eliminate that biggest threat!"
Michael would absolutely not admit that his mischievousness had flared up. Michael would only say that he was upholding a truly neutral stance, laying out all the problems without shielding anyone! And without favoring anyone! Black Widow came as a trader, so Michael could naturally trade information according to Black Widow's identity, couldn't he?
