L's sudden prompt made Natasha freeze.
Her heart instantly leaped into her throat.
The worst-case scenario had still occurred, but she hoped the problem wasn't as serious as she imagined.
"Tony Stark?"
Lin Luo's expression seemed to anticipate this; a faint smile played on his lips as he said, "There's no need to shoot him down. Let's go back and see him. After all, he's also the child of an old friend of mine."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Catwoman, who was standing close by, looked surprised and asked in disbelief, "Boss, Tony Stark... could he... also be your, uh..."
"You can guess," Lin Luo countered with a smile.
Catwoman shrugged, took the Boss's big hand, placed it on the high-stockings where it belonged, and gently caressed it back and forth.
She squinted playfully and asked again, "Can I get the answer directly this way?"
Playing this game with an 'old man' over 140 years old—who could resist?
Fortunately, Lin Luo had lived long enough and seen enough to have a certain immunity to it.
He pushed away Catwoman's little cat paw, grabbed a pair of cat legs, placed them in front of him, took off her high heels, and unceremoniously kneaded her paw pads.
Beside them, Natasha watched everything silently.
On the surface, she showed no reaction, but inside, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, engaged in an intense internal struggle.
She observed Catwoman's relaxed and enjoying demeanor, and subconsciously looked down at her own jojo.
Perhaps... perhaps she could... Super S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
Director's Office.
"This is the plan you thought about all night?" Nick Fury angrily threw a stack of papers in front of Amanda Waller, scolding her:
"Am I crazy or are you crazy? Do you think their Base is so easy to infiltrate?"
Amanda Waller replied expressionlessly, "When they think their secrecy is flawless, that's the easiest time to find a loophole. I have confidence in the group of villains under my command."
"You don't have to worry about anyone leaking information. It's just a simple probe. Whether they succeed or fail, the end result is losing their heads."
After receiving information about MIB from Nick Fury, Amanda Waller spent a night thinking and finally decided to activate the Suicide Squad to infiltrate the MIB Base.
They had too little data on MIB and needed to obtain various data through irrational attempts.
Nick Fury had to admit that the black woman in front of him possessed an extremism that even he couldn't match.
She simply didn't treat the people under her as human beings.
He asked in a deep voice, "Once the other party finds out it was us, have you considered what we will face?"
"Bang!"
Amanda Waller slapped the table and said, "I only know the impact an organization that stands before order will have on the United States!"
"Listen, Deputy Director Amanda, I know you're a patriot, but Super S.H.I.E.L.D. protects the entire Earth!" Nick Fury retorted.
"The entire Earth?" Amanda Waller laughed, a laugh of extreme contempt.
"Director Nick, I hope your thoughts aren't as naive as they sound. Please recognize your position and don't forget who gave you your current status."
The two highest-ranking individuals in Super S.H.I.E.L.D. stared at each other, neither willing to back down.
In this moment, Nick Fury awoke from the joy of Super S.H.I.E.L.D.'s establishment.
He received more aid, but the restrictions also deepened considerably.
If things continued this way, fighting alien invasions? Ha ha, he should think more about how this S.H.I.E.L.D., which protects the Earth, could avoid becoming a pawn of the upper echelons!
Without a heart that embraces the World, one would eventually be abandoned by the World.
Nick Fury commanded in an unquestionable tone:
"As Director of Super S.H.I.E.L.D., I order that a Suicide Squad be established for the infiltration plan, but without my order, no one is allowed to activate it without authorization!"
After issuing the order, Nick Fury's gaze turned cold, and he issued a warning.
"Deputy Director Amanda, I'm only warning you once: whether your team members live or die is irrelevant, but if you harm any of my subordinates, neither of us will have an easy time!"
Given Amanda Waller's extreme personality, he didn't know if these words would have any effect.
This woman's madness far exceeded his imagination; it was probably only a matter of time before she did something outrageous... The Manor.
The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the door.
Before anyone could get out, Tony Stark, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, eagerly approached.
His urgent demeanor was completely unlike this playboy's usual character.
Catwoman got out of the car, didn't even glance at Tony Stark, and pulled the car door wide open.
"Wow."
Seeing Catwoman in high-stockings paired with an OL outfit, Tony Stark's eyes lit up, and he instinctively gasped.
Hmm, this certainly fit his persona.
It wasn't until Lin Luo got out of the car that Tony Stark withdrew his gaze.
"You... it really is you!"
"Okay, it's me." Lin Luo interrupted the extremely excited Tony Stark and asked with a smile, "First, answer me one question: how did you find me?"
Speaking of which, Tony Stark became even more agitated, wishing he could rush up and punch Lin Luo.
"While I was immersed in promoting the alliance between Earth and Cybertron through my personal charm... Jarvis told me the truth! It was you who tampered with my memory!"
"I watched the surveillance Jarvis gave me countless times. For some reason, you looked more and more familiar, and finally, I found you in a photo of my old man!"
"It turns out the head of the organization that deals with aliens is actually a shareholder of Stark Industries!"
"You're friends with my old man and a shareholder of Stark Industries, so can't you give me any face? Can't we just sit down and discuss it?"
Tony Stark was both angry and anxious.
"Hmm, not bad. Being able to find me based on the clues I gave you, you're barely qualified."
After Lin Luo acknowledged him, he ruthlessly exposed him, "Alright, put away your terrible acting. Let's talk about whatever it is calmly."
"Alright." Tony Stark blinked, his anger vanished, and he regained his composure, shrugging, and saying:
"I'm not that angry. Finding you has nothing to do with those aliens. I mainly want to understand that..."
"The Pocket Universe Battery, right?" Lin Luo interrupted again.
Tony Stark was stunned, inexplicably feeling as if his underwear had been seen through.
"Yes, that's right." He didn't argue. Since it had been brought up, he went straight to the point.
"As a genius scientist, I understand better than anyone what a Pocket Universe means, and even more terrifying is making a Pocket Universe into an energy supply device."
"Mr. Lin Luo, right? For my old man's sake, how much will I have to pay to get a small Pocket Universe Battery?"
"If that's not possible, a miniature one would also work..."
