Natasha knew that Dio was actually a man with a bottom line. He was not the kind of extremist who would not listen to others. Even when he was not provoked, he gave people the impression that he was particularly easy to get along with.
Otherwise, with his ability, there is actually no need for him to open a restaurant to make money honestly. The Criminal Law mentions so many channels and ways to make money quickly, but he still chose an ordinary lifestyle. He even occasionally worried that the IRS would come to his door and would worry about some "trivial" matters.
It's incredible, but it's true!
Even compared to these agents who have seen a lot and done a lot of "dirty work", in fact, he is more like a living "person".
After listening to Natasha's reasons, Dio threw the red-faced Obadiah to the ground with disdain. Anyway, there was no need for him to do it. This old guy with a lot of bad intentions would not have a good end. Sending him to jail might be more cruel than killing him directly.
Seeing this, Natasha also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Obadiah was a prominent figure no matter what, and he was certainly more valuable alive than dead. And just as she said, tonight's incident had caused such a big fuss that the public had to have an explanation, so she quickly stepped forward and prepared to control the man first.
But some people will not cry until they see the coffin. Obadiah, who was lying on the ground and coughing violently, quietly took out something like a remote control from his pocket, and then suddenly pounced on Dio who was leaving with his back to him, as if the thing in his hand gave him great confidence!
"careful!"
Natasha's exclamation and the pistol were in place almost at the same time.
But she was still a little slow, and the one who reacted faster than her was... Dio!
"Ahh! My hand!"
An arm fell directly to the ground, and the "little thing" in the hand was still making some weird-frequency sounds, which made people irritated.
Obadiah screamed and tried to escape, but Natasha, who was careless once, did not give him a second chance and decisively pulled the trigger.
Obadiah, who was shot, was paralyzed by the strong electric current and fell to the ground, completely fainting.
In fact, Dio had already noticed it the moment he stood up, and when he pounced on him, Dio had already noticed the strange thing in his hand. In order to teach him a profound lesson, Dio raised his hand to form a knife and used the power of ripples to directly cut off his outstretched arm!
At this time, Natasha also came over with a gun. After checking that Obadiah was not in immediate danger of death, she tried to stop his bleeding. Then she came to the broken arm, picked up the small thing that no longer made any sound and looked like a remote control, observed it for a while, and said:
"This is a sonic weapon once developed by Stark Industries. If it is close to the human ear, it can paralyze the target instantly. It is very covert and effective. However, due to certain reasons, the government has banned the use and development of this weapon." Natasha explained, and then found the earplugs in Obadiah's ears. This old guy is really cautious.
If he had met someone else instead of Dio, he might have succeeded.
This kind of weapon should indeed be banned. Otherwise, once it is circulated, the crime rate is expected to increase dramatically. This thing is much more useful than a pistol. You only need to press it lightly next to the target's ear, and the opponent will completely lose the ability to resist.
"What should we do now?" So many things happened in such a short time, and Pepper had been frightened again and again and again and had no idea what to do. If she wasn't still worried about Tony's safety, she really wanted to find a safe place to take a shower and have a good sleep. Maybe when she woke up, she would find that it was just a nightmare.
"I have requested support from the headquarters. They will be here soon and escort us to a safe place. We will also inform you as soon as we have any news about Tony." Natasha was very calm from beginning to end.
Her calmness also infected Pepper. In fact, this was the best outcome.
Very quickly, very quickly indeed, only 5 or 6 minutes had passed, and several black cars stopped in front of them one after another.
The first person to come down was Dio's old acquaintance, Agent Coulson. This matter had become a big deal, so Nick Fury had no choice but to send him to clean up the aftermath.
"We meet again, Mr. Dio." Coulson greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Yes, we meet again. What a coincidence. Agent Coulson, are you here to compensate my pet this time?" Dio suddenly smiled.
When he brought up this topic, Coulson's face twitched a few times and he laughed dryly, "I came here in a hurry this time. Next time, next time..."
Now he couldn't pay compensation even if he wanted to, because less than half an hour after he took the magical miniature snail to the researchers for experiments, someone told him that the experiment had failed. The snail suddenly died inexplicably, and then decomposed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In other words, the things he shamelessly kept behind not only prevented SHIELD from researching anything, but also gave the other party a handle in their hands. This probably describes his situation: he lost more than he gained.
"No wonder he let me go so easily. I guess he knew I wouldn't live long even if he took me back." Coulson smiled bitterly in his heart. This feeling was not good.
Dio was not angry after hearing Coulson's excuse. He just smiled and added, "One million US dollars. Don't make me wait too long, or I will have to ask your black-faced chief for it."
one million!
This is really a big mouth!
Is that little thing worth a million
Of course it is worth it in the eyes of some people, but the prerequisite is that you are still alive, or have achieved some research results.
If there was a snail in front of him that could communicate with his mind, Coulson believed that the director would definitely agree to him buying it for one million US dollars. What's a problem if it can be solved with money
But as for compensation, that's not necessarily the case. Given their director's stingy personality, he may not agree to it, not to mention that SHIELD doesn't get any benefits at all.
On the contrary, it was the description of 'black-boiled egg' that made Coulson and other agents look strange. This guy was probably the only one who dared to give the director such a nickname. And you know what, it was quite descriptive.
Thinking of their director's appearance, several young agents couldn't help laughing. Then, they immediately covered their mouths in front of other people's gazes and pretended to be serious, trying to make up for their loss. But they didn't know if anyone would tell on them. If so, those agents who laughed would be in trouble. Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't know that their director was a very petty and vengeful person.
