Chapter 277 Woman, your name is greed!

"Ugh!"

Wanda felt awkward and tried to dodge Carl's hand, but when she moved too much, she screamed out in pain.

"Don't touch me!"

Seeing that she was somewhat resistant, Karl had to withdraw his hand and comforted her: “Okay, okay, you have a good rest, I will buy you some new clothes.”

After saying that, Karl walked out of the bedroom quickly, intending to ask the hotel front desk to buy clothes for him.

Wanda was silent, but after watching him leave, she felt a little empty inside.

In the evening, in the presidential suite restaurant of the Walton Hotel.

Jean Grey noticed that something was wrong with Wanda. She didn't say a word during the meal and was particularly cold to Carl.

Before, we could at least chat for a few minutes, but now he always looks cold and indifferent, as if he doesn't want anyone to approach him.

This created a very strange atmosphere at the table.

Karl didn't say a word and just kept his head down eating.

Wanda sat next to Qin, seemingly deliberately not wanting to get close to Carl.

Qin was sandwiched between the two of them, and felt the atmosphere was particularly strange during the meal.

"Uh, what's wrong with you guys?" Qin asked curiously.

While enjoying dinner, Karl explained, “Nothing, Wanda and I may have to go out later, Qin, you can stay in the hotel tonight, or go shopping.”

After years of development, Qin's strength has already reached the level of a god. Carl doesn't have to worry about her safety.

And tonight Carl plans to take Wanda to S.W.O.R.D. to get Vision's body back, so there's no need to bring Jean along.

Hearing that she could go shopping tonight, Qin said happily, "Okay, I've wanted to see the fashion brands in this world for a long time."

After dinner.

Qin couldn't wait to leave the hotel and go shopping in the bustling streets of Manhattan.

"Come on, I'll go out with you guys, and we'll say goodbye when we get to the hotel entrance."

Jean followed Carl and Wanda out of the presidential suite, walked through the hotel corridor, and took the elevator down to the hotel lobby.

"Dear three guests, do you need to go out? We can provide free vehicle pick-up service,"

"unnecessary."

At the entrance of the Walton Hotel, Karl sent away the waiter who came forward to ask if he wanted to help prepare the car.

"Then I'm going shopping, you guys go ahead and do your work."

After Qin finished speaking, she wanted the hotel to send a car to take her to New York's Fifth Avenue, one of the most famous shopping paradises in the world.

But after taking only two steps, she turned around and asked Karl for money.

"Oh, I almost forgot I didn't bring any money with me."

Carl thought about it and used his ability to transform matter.

He grabbed the pebbles in the fountain pool in front of the hotel and transformed them into a twenty-pound gold nugget.

"Well, you can take the gold bars to a jewelry store and exchange them for cash. You can get about 700,000 or 800,000 US dollars. Is that enough for you?"

Qin took the gold nugget, weighed it for a few times, and pouted her lips and said, "It's enough, but I may not be able to buy expensive bags and beautiful clothes."

You should know that Fifth Avenue is home to most of the world's luxury stores, and sometimes a bag costs tens or even hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

Not to mention custom-made clothing, which can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of US dollars.

Therefore, Qin, who had been raised in wealth for more than 20 years and had no concept of money, directly hinted that the money was too little.

"Not enough, right?" Carl used his Midas Touch ability again and 'created' a fifty-pound piece of gold. "Is it enough this time?"

Money meant nothing to him anyway, so Carl simply satisfied Qin's greedy appetite.

But looking at this big piece of gold, Qin felt a little disgusted, "Can't you just give me a diamond? Gold is too heavy!"

“Okay, okay, okay.” Karl speechlessly met her request and ‘created’ a fifty-carat pink diamond.

As a result, Qin took the pink diamond, but her eyes widened.

"This pink diamond is so beautiful, I can't bear to exchange it for vulgar money."

Women all have a special liking for such shiny things. Even Wanda, who was standing next to her, was involuntarily attracted by the pink diamond.

But Carl was impatient, and this time he "produced" a bunch of diamonds, big and small, and of all colors.

"Take all these diamonds and do whatever you want with them. If you continue to be picky, I won't care."

Wanda was stunned when she saw Carl creating a bunch of diamonds out of thin air.

"Can you give me some?"

Staring at the diamonds piled up like a small mountain in Qin's hand, Wanda asked for a few embarrassedly.

"Of course, you can pick whatever you want."

Anyway, the diamonds were easy to come by, and Qin was not stingy. She handed the diamonds in her hand over generously and let them choose.

Seeing Wanda smiling when she was selecting diamonds, Carl said considerately:
"You like diamonds too? Why didn't you tell me earlier? What kind do you want? I can customize the color, weight, and shape for you."

As soon as Wanda heard Carl's words, she remembered the "good deed" someone had done, and her interest in choosing diamonds disappeared all of a sudden.

"I don't want it anymore, just go and take me to find Vision."

Although they are both women, Jean couldn't understand why Wanda suddenly changed her attitude.

"Really? Sister, are you sure?"

Wanda turned her eyes away from the pile of diamonds with difficulty and urged: "No, let's go."

Karl wanted to persuade her a little more, but seeing her firm attitude, he had to wave his hand and signal Qin to go first.

When saying goodbye, Qin kissed Carl on the side of his face and whispered in his ear:

"Goodbye, dear. Your little cutie will be waiting for you tonight in a nurse's uniform."

While speaking, Qin deliberately gave Karl a seductive and charming look.

Karl responded with a contemptuous look. This little girl is both naive and provocative. He must teach her a lesson tonight!

Afterwards, Qin got into a luxury car prepared by the hotel and disappeared from Carl's sight.

Wanda couldn't wait and said, "Can you take me to find Vision?"

Karl nodded and took the lead to walk across the hotel entrance, “Of course, you follow me.”

Wanda followed Carl closely, crossed the road, and walked to a Ford car on the side of the road opposite the hotel.

Then the door of the Ford car suddenly opened, and a man who looked familiar to her got out from the driver's seat.

Then he stood motionless in front of Carl.

"Isn't this the agent who sent us money yesterday? Are you manipulating his mind?"

"Obviously." Carl's face remained calm.

But worried that Wanda wouldn't understand, he explained, "Vision's body was recovered by S.W.O.D."

"And this person is the agent sent by S.W.O.R.D. to monitor us. I guess he has been following us since yesterday."

Hearing that she was being followed by S.W.O.R.D., Wanda was puzzled: "S.W.O.R.D.? Why did they steal Vision's body, and why are they monitoring me?"

Seeing her innocent look, Carl had to explain to her patiently. "S.W.O.R.D. is a secret intelligence agency similar to S.H.I.E.L.D., and its full name is the Space Civilization Observation and Response Center."

"Since the disbandment of S.H.I.E.L.D., countries around the world have jointly established S.W.O.R.D. in order to deal with threats from outer space."

"And you, me, and even Vision's corpse are all destabilizing factors in this world."

"I'm an outsider. You're too powerful. Vision is made of vibranium, so it's no surprise that you're being monitored by S.W.O.R.D."

Wanda can understand the difficulties of S.W.O.R.D. After all, an unstable factor has appeared on Earth and it does require supervision.

But people always have double standards. What if the target that needs supervision is changed to the bodies of himself and Vision?

Wanda was not happy.

"Fury used to do this kind of work. Could it be that he was the one who founded the S.W.O.R.D. Bureau?"

Carl shook his head and said, "S.W.O.R.D. was founded by Maria Rambeau, a good friend of Captain Marvel, but Nick Fury is also a minor supervisor of S.W.O.R.D."

Looking at the male agent whose mind was controlled standing in front of the two of them, Wanda asked again:

"So are you planning on interrogating him about why S.W.O.R.D. stole Vision's body?"

"Interrogation?" Carl smiled and said, "No need to go through so much trouble. I can directly check his memory."

Hearing that Carl had this special ability, Wanda was surprised and said, "You haven't seen my memory, have you?"

"You underestimate yourself, Wanda. You are a telepath yourself. Don't you know whether I have seen your memories or not?" Carl said speechlessly.

Thinking of what happened last night, Wanda blushed and said uncertainly: "How should I know? I was unconscious last night."

Carl: "Are you doubting my character?"

"You bastard, do you still have any character?" Wanda said faintly.

At this moment, Carl was trying to do two things at once. On one hand, he was bickering with Wanda, on the other hand, he was looking through the memories in the mind of a man named Grant Ward.

"I found where S.W.O.R.D.'s space base is."

Hearing this, Wanda didn't bother to continue bickering and asked hurriedly, "Then take me to S.W.O.R.D. to retrieve Vision's body."

Carl nodded and prepared to use his teleportation ability.

"Don't resist. I'll teleport you there directly."

In a blink of an eye, the two disappeared from the spot.

Before leaving, Carl also turned Grant Ward into an idiot as a small punishment for keeping an eye on him.

To be honest, I was merciful by not taking his life.

In outer space, a space base shaped like a sword is orbiting the Earth.

Carl took Wanda and the two were teleported to the intelligence department office of the S.W.O.R.D. space base.

Many civilian intelligence personnel in the office noticed two people suddenly appearing and immediately drew their guns and pointed them at them.

"Don't move!"

"Are you Wanda the Avenger?"

As a civilian employee who analyzes intelligence, his memory is naturally not bad and he recognized Wanda's identity at a glance.

"And this outsider, what do you want to do by coming to the Sky Sword Bureau without permission?"

While questioning, the intelligence officers put down their guns one after another.

Because they all know that the pistol is useless against Wanda, the most mysterious Avenger, and will only annoy others.

So it’s better to put down the gun and send a friendly signal.

However, Wanda got angry when she saw these people, and asked unfriendlyly: "In which laboratory did you hide Vision's body?"

There was a female intelligence officer in her early twenties who pretended not to understand and said, "I don't understand what you mean. Vision's body is not in our base at all. You should go to Wakanda to look for it."

Karl didn't want to waste time talking to these bastards, so he said directly: "Tell your top commander to get out immediately!"

"I only give him three minutes. If you don't see him, I will turn the entire space base into dust. Literally dust."

Hearing the rude words from this alien visitor, the people in the office looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why do I suddenly feel a sense of fear that a disaster is about to happen?

The people in this office are the most elite members of the S.W.I.E.R.D.’s intelligence department.

Therefore, they urgently notified the director the moment Carl and Wanda appeared.

"Please wait a moment, Chief Taylor Hayward will be here to see you shortly."

The young female intelligence agent quickly spoke to comfort her.

Waited for more than a minute.

Taking the space base's maglev car, Tyler Hayward arrived at the intelligence department in time and said hello.

"Hi, both of you. I'm Tyler Hayward, the director of S.W.O.R.D. What's the urgent matter?"

Seeing the shifty old man look of the director, Wanda repeated her request in a stern tone.

"Hand over Vision's body right now. I know you have it hidden in a lab somewhere. Don't force me to do it!"

Unfortunately, Vision has turned into a corpse and has no soul fluctuations, so Carl cannot find it through telepathy, otherwise there would not be so much trouble.

When Tyler Hayward saw Wanda's aggressive attitude, he immediately put on a hypocritical politician's smile and started to pressure her by using the righteousness of the cause.

"Vision's body is made of vibranium. Legally and morally, it belongs to S.W.O.D."

Carl interrupted directly: "Don't talk nonsense, Chief Taylor, you can only choose between your life and Vision's body."

"If you are really willing to sacrifice yourself for Vision's corpse, then I respect you as a man!"

Tyler Hayward was stumped. He had never met such a difficult person.

He didn't dare to bet whether this strange man would really kill him.

For the sake of his life, Tyler Hayward decisively said, "Vision's body is in Lab Zero. I can take you there."

Seeing that he had calmed down so quickly, Carl laughed and taunted, "Didn't you just brazenly ask Wanda to give Vision's body to the world?"

"Why don't you say now that you want to contribute your life to the world?"

Tyler Hayward looked very calm, as if he didn't hear Carl's sarcasm at all.

"Come with me, you two."

Anxious Wanda was the first to follow.

Carl followed closely behind.

After the director took them away, the people in the intelligence department's office quickly notified the special service department to send field agents to protect the director.

ten minutes later.

"Ding--"

The smart elevator door opened to both sides, and Director Taylor brought Carl and Wanda to the experimental area on the thirteenth floor of the space base.

They walked to the door of a top-level materials laboratory, and Director Taylor passed through triple identity verification using fingerprint, pupil, and face.

"Bang-"

The special alloy explosion-proof door slowly opened.
