I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

"I don't know what you're hiding from me..."

But since you're unwilling to elaborate, at least let me know what's troubling you.

Upon hearing this, Hill looked slightly conflicted, as if she were making a decision in her mind.

Finally, she spoke quietly:

"I have a question..."

Nick Fury put his hands behind his back and said, "I'm all ears."

Hill continued:

"if…

If you were given a chance to save Natasha, would you seize it?

"That depends on whether this opportunity is reliable or not."

Nick Fury replied without hesitation.

Hill then asked:

"What if...it's unreliable?"

At least in your understanding, this 'opportunity' is likely a trap, or something else entirely…

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury crossed his arms, stroked his chin as if deep in thought, and said:

"As a secret agent, one must be suspicious of anything that might pose a threat."

It's very reasonable...

But considering it from the perspective of friends and colleagues, I would at least give it a try.

Even if unexpected consequences might occur, even if…

"To risk one's life."

Nick Fury's words left Hill silent for a long time. Then, she seemed to make a decision, hastily asking Nick Fury for leave.

He then left the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Nick Fury stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, watching Hill below, who had changed into casual clothes and driven away.

"what the hell…"

……

night,

Outside a detached house in the suburbs of Boston,

Three figures slowly descended from the sky.

"This is the happiest day of my life!"

Theresa shouted excitedly even before she landed.

Elena, on the other hand, almost collapsed to her knees as soon as her feet touched the ground, but was fortunately helped up by Lei Ming.

Are you alright...?

"fine…

I'm just a little... not used to it...

I'm going to take a shower first.

Elena waved her hand, straightened up, and swayed as she walked into the house.

Seeing this, Theresa, with a mischievous grin, leaned close to Lei Ming's ear and whispered:

"Don't let her arrogant demeanor fool you, she's actually terrified of heights..."

And where shall we go next?

I want to go to Egypt to see the pyramids!

I also want to go to Antarctica to see polar bears!

And there's more...

Theresa was excitedly chattering away because today the three of them had taken a global trip, visiting more than thirty countries, and didn't return until late at night in New York.

"Alright..."

Lei Ming interrupted the excited Theresa, patting her head.

"There will be many more opportunities in the future. You can go wherever you want, even to the moon."

"Really?!"

Theresa's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"but…"

Lei Ming changed the subject,

"You have to listen to me, and starting tomorrow you'll go to school and attend classes properly. Cut off all ties with those shady friends outside, and learn Mandarin well..."

When you meet my requirements...

I'll reconsider your suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Theresa nodded repeatedly, and even gave a scout salute in a playful manner, exclaiming in an exaggerated tone:

"I guarantee I will absolutely complete the mission!"

"Good to know. Come inside, your grandma has already prepared dinner and is waiting for you."

As he spoke, Lei Ming turned his head and glanced into the distance, where a familiar figure was sitting in a car.

It seems she's been waiting for him for a long time.

Tell your mom I'm going out to meet a friend, I'll be back soon.

"OK!"

Theresa turned and ran into the house, then turned back halfway and called out with a smile.

"I love you, Dad!"

After saying that, he dashed into the house.

Lei Ming then turned and left the villa gate, heading straight for the Chevrolet SUV parked on the street, which was said to be used by American secret agents.

As he approached the car, Hill got out of the driver's seat, smiled, and waved to Lei Ming.

Good evening, Superman.

Hill wasn't wearing her S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform today, but even so, her curvaceous figure and long legs were extremely eye-catching.

Lei Ming put his hands in his pockets and laughed, "Just call me by my name."

"Okay... Ray."

Hill didn't stand on ceremony and called his name, then suddenly noticed that Thunder seemed different today; he seemed to have a smile on his face.

She smiled and joked:

You seem to be in a good mood.

Is it because news about you is circulating everywhere online?

"Do not…"

Lei Ming shook his head. "I just went out for a stroll with my family today to relax."

Hill didn't press the matter further; after all, it wasn't very polite to pry into other people's lives.

Are you free now?

I'll buy you a drink.

she suggested.

"Lead the way."

...

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at a relatively quiet bar nearby.

Soft, soothing music played in the lobby, and a diverse group of people sat on the bar stools at the bar.

Most of them are white-collar workers who have just finished get off work and choose to come here for a few drinks after a busy day to relieve the fatigue of the next day.

of course,

Perhaps with a bit of luck, you might meet someone you don't know... but who catches your eye, and after a few rounds of drinks...

The two would then exchange contact information or arrange to meet in a secluded alley or hotel.

Finally, dry wood ignites a raging fire.

unstoppable.
