After what happened just now, Dio found it hard to believe anything the woman said, even if it seemed sincere.
"So do you want to sit down and have a good chat now or go out and change into clean clothes, appease your subordinates who are requesting reinforcements, and then come back to have a serious talk with me?" Dio gave two options, especially the second one, which undoubtedly demonstrated his absolute confidence.
Perhaps she didn't expect the other party to be willing to let her go first. Natasha was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Although I really want to sit down and resolve the misunderstanding immediately, you should wait for me to change into clean clothes. The first formal communication should always be more solemn."
"Whatever. I hope the people who come to talk to me later are not soldiers armed to the teeth. What do you think?"
Natasha's heart trembled, then she took a deep breath and said, "I won't make such a stupid mistake again. Since we have the possibility to sit down and discuss things in a friendly manner, we can naturally avoid those unnecessary sacrifices."
While making the guarantee, she was also secretly warning the other party. Although she had just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the other party, the power behind her gave her the confidence to say these words. People who had not learned about S.H.I.E.L.D. would never imagine how deep the water in this world is. Before this, countless idiots with superpowers who wanted to cause trouble had been locked up in that special prison.
For the sake of the previous meal, she didn't want Dio to become one of those idiots.
I don't know if Dio heard the warning in Natasha's words, but he just signaled her to leave. It was not until Natasha walked to the door of the restaurant that he suddenly remembered and said, "Remember to pay for the meal, cleaning, mental damages, and glass door repairs when you come back. It's a small business, so I won't default on payments."
Natasha paused for a moment when she reached the door, then walked out with gritted teeth.
I haven’t asked you for medical expenses yet!
When she thought about how she was almost strangled to death by him just now, what little good impression Natasha had of him immediately disappeared. A bastard like this who relied on his ability to do whatever he wanted should be locked up in that special prison, and it would be best if he never released him!
You can never guess what a woman is thinking. Dio didn't expect that his request for money would offend this vengeful woman. But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. After all, the age difference between them is too big. What a pity...
After the troublesome woman left, Dio twitched his nose, then frowned, put on a mask and started cleaning.
. . . . . . . . . .
On the other side, S.H.I.E.L.D., which had just received a rescue call from an agent going out, was waiting for orders from the director. From the intelligence, they learned that the opponent's strength and speed were far beyond that of normal people. The battle-hardened Black Widow was captured without any match, and weapons such as pistols were ineffective against her.
If this person was the 'monster' that started the massacre that day, then it meant that he was at least invisible.
The agents going to rescue must at least bring infrared thermal imaging probes. If ordinary weapons are useless, it means using heavy firepower weapons in a densely populated neighborhood like Chinatown. It is difficult to avoid accidental injuries, and the subsequent impact is enough to make him anxious.
It's really a bit troublesome...
Natasha has always been Nick Fury's trusted general, so it is impossible for him to ignore her safety. Therefore, before using force to eliminate the target, he first thinks about how to rescue the person safely so as not to be cautious.
Just when Nick Fury was having a headache, the agents who stayed at the scene brought the latest information.
After hearing Natasha's voice, Nick Fury felt relieved at first, then tensed up. How could the other party release the hostage so easily? This might be a trap. The agents at the scene might have been wiped out. At this time, Natasha might be trying to contact him with a gun pointed at her head!
"Agent Natasha, please describe in detail how you escaped."
Nick Fury's tone stunned Natasha, and then she immediately realized that the suspicious director was probably overthinking it.
So she immediately recounted all her actions after entering the restaurant, including how things developed later until Dio let her out, which dispelled Nick Fury's doubts.
He believed that even if Natasha really had a gun pointed at her head at this time, she would not really betray the organization and weave these lies, so things were really developing in a good direction.
"I'm relieved to hear that you're okay, but are you sure the other party has no hostility? Since you've come out safe and sound, you should come back for a thorough check-up. We can then send heavy armored troops to arrest you." Nick Fury is not a gentleman. He has a dark face and an even darker heart!
In his eyes, the process is not important at all, what matters is the result.
But his proposal was rejected by Natasha.
"It is my fault that caused the current situation, so please give me another chance. I will definitely complete this mission perfectly. As for the subsequent reinforcements, let them stay at the headquarters and wait. If things really go wrong, it will not be too late to send them in for a strong attack."
After thinking about it, Nick Fury nodded and agreed. In fact, he didn't want to make a big fuss unless it was absolutely necessary, as it would be difficult to end.
"Okay then, I'll leave the scene to you. If you find that things are going to go wrong, leave immediately and contact me."
"I don't want to see any mishaps with my best agents, you understand?"
Perhaps if someone else heard his boss say such words to him, he would probably be immediately moved and swear to fight for SHIELD and complete the task assigned to him even at the cost of his own life.
However, Natasha had experienced too much, so she just responded very calmly and ended the contact.
"drive!"
"Uh, going back to headquarters?"
"No, find a place where I can take a shower. Besides, I need to change my clothes."
The agents didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately started the car and left.
About half an hour later, Natasha, who had washed herself and changed into a tight black uniform, re-entered the inconspicuous little restaurant.
This time she is no longer the witch 'Carrie', but the Black Widow who has terrified countless enemies!
"Let me introduce myself again. I'm an agent from the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. Many people call me 'Black Widow', but I prefer the name Natasha."
