American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

More than an hour later.

Once Gwen had begun to adapt to her drastically increased physical attributes, Roy used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send her home.

Although she had already graduated from high school, Gwen still had to abide by the family rule of not staying out overnight before starting college.

After sending Gwen home, Roy once again used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his Upper East Side villa.

Noon the next day.

While he was having lunch at the restaurant, he received a call from Natasha.

As soon as the call connected, Natasha's alluring voice came from the other end of the line.

"Tony Stark came to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in armor, demanding that we hand over his father's belongings, and claiming that you sent him."

"Yes, I sent him. Is there a problem?"

Roy countered with a question.

"No problem, I just want to know, how did you know Howard left a batch of stuff at S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Natasha continued to ask.

"Of course I have my own intelligence channels."

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'm eating."

Roy spoke slowly.

"Okay, then I won't disturb your meal any longer."

After saying that, Natasha hung up the phone.

Roy put his phone aside and continued to enjoy his lunch.

at the same time.

Washington, D.C.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Tri-Wing Building, Director's Office.

Tony, wearing Mark IV armor, sat on the sofa in the reception area, opened the visor of his helmet, and brought the wine glass to his nose to smell it.

He then placed the glass back on the table with a look of disgust, showing no intention of drinking it.

This wine is terrible!

Nick Fury and Natasha sat on the sofa opposite each other.

After ending her call with Roy, Natasha, dressed in a tight-fitting black combat suit that perfectly showcased her curves, turned to Nick Fury and nodded.

After confirming that Tony was telling the truth, Nick Fury got up, went to his desk, picked up the phone, dialed an internal number, and said, "Send the box with storage number HS-001 to the director's office."

After hanging up the phone, Nick Fury returned to the meeting area and sat down, saying to Tony, "Your father's belongings will be delivered shortly."

Tony nodded, taking a keen look at Natasha sitting next to Nick Fury.

Although he didn't know Natasha well, he noticed one thing: Natasha was a very charming female spy.

Furthermore, judging from Natasha's recent conversation with Roy, Natasha has had quite a bit of contact with Roy.

After scrutinizing Natasha for a moment, he suddenly said, "Roy told me before that S.H.I.E.L.D. had tried to capture him, but failed and paid him a considerable sum in compensation."

"I'm curious, what kind of damage did he cause you that makes you so afraid of him?"

Upon hearing his words, Nick Fury's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

He personally directed the operation to arrest Roy.

He initially thought Roy was just a superhuman who had recently awakened his superpowers, and that capturing him wouldn't be too difficult.

As it turned out, he had seriously underestimated Roy's abilities.

The operation was a complete failure, resulting in numerous casualties and severe economic losses, not to mention the consequences.

After the capture operation failed, under Roy's threats, S.H.I.E.L.D. had no choice but to sign a ceasefire agreement and admit defeat.

"We are not afraid of him, we just respect him."

Seeing that Nick Fury wasn't going to answer Tony, Natasha spoke slowly.

"Being afraid is fine; there's no need to glorify it as respect."

"You're very beautiful, and you're a spy, so you must have used your charm on him, right?"

Tony raised an eyebrow at Natasha and said with a smile.

Since the kidnapping incident, he has settled down and stopped fooling around with women like before.

However, he couldn't help but tease Natasha at this point.

Natasha didn't answer and turned her head away.

Although Natasha did not give a clear reply, her current actions are tantamount to an admission.

Roy is really lucky with women!

Why didn't any pretty female spies try to seduce me before?

Tony silently reflected on his feelings.

Not long after, two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents dressed in black suits carried a silver-white suitcase the size of a suitcase into the director's office.

At Nick Fury's suggestion, they placed the box on the table.

Tony's gaze immediately fell on the box.

There was a line of text printed on the box.

Howard Stark's property!

After the agent delivering the box left, Nick Fury said to Tony, "The reactor in your chest was made based on unfinished technology."

Without any hesitation, Tony immediately refuted Nick Fury.

"It's the finished product; I've completed the miniaturization."

Nick Fury countered Tony's statement, continuing, "No, your father said the Arc Reactor is a springboard to even greater technology."

"He was preparing to start an energy competition, which, in his words, if successful, would leave all other countries and all rivals far behind."

"He figured out a clue to a super-energy source, compared to which a nuclear reactor is like a 3A battery."

He also said that only you have the wisdom and resources to complete this plan in his place.

A complex expression flashed across Tony's face.

After a few seconds, he slowly said, "Did he really say that?"

What do you think?

"Nick Fury asked."

Tony shook his head and sighed, "I don't know if what you're saying is true, but he doesn't really like me."

"In his eyes, I was a philandering, willful, and unruly playboy."

Nick Fury stared at Tony and continued, "What kind of person do you think he is?"

Tony sighed and replied, "He's intelligent, cold, and cunning."

"He has never said he loves me, or even that he likes me."

"Everything I did was nonsense to him."

"Even though I created a brand-new V8 engine when I was 6 years old, developed my first computer software when I was just in elementary school, and created an artificial intelligence robot after graduating from university, he has never praised me."

"So I find it hard to believe that he would say I can replace him to complete the super energy project and change the future."

"This is not the man I remember."

"In my memory, the happiest day of his life was the day he sent me to boarding school."

Nick Fury picked up his glass, took a sip, and said slowly, "Even though you're his son, you don't understand him at all."

"Are you implying that you know him better than I do?"

Tony said dismissively.

"Of course I know him better than you do, because he was one of the co-founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Without him, there would be no S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Agent Romanov, give him the lithium dioxide injection."

Nick Fury gave Natasha instructions.

Natasha immediately took out a small box and placed it on the table.

"What's the purpose of this injection?"

Tony frowned.

"This injection can alleviate your palladium poisoning symptoms."

"Don't underestimate your father. Palladium is the key to miniaturizing the Arc Reactor. He thought of it a long time ago, but he just didn't manage to manufacture the finished product."

"I have a meeting later, you can take these things back to your mansion."

Nick Fury pointed to the large box containing Howard's belongings and the small box containing lithium dioxide injections, and said slowly.
