Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

When Matthew first met Black Widow, his first impression was that she was young and full of charm.

Her features were exquisite; she was the most beautiful woman Matthew had ever seen.

His figure, looks, and facial features are all top-notch.

Only Jennifer, who was possessed by a demon, could compare to this.

Jennifer is a beauty to begin with, and after being possessed by a demon, she becomes even more alluring, like a black rose.

Black Widow Natasha is different; she is a perfect symbiosis of danger and temptation, elegance and sharpness, strength and vulnerability, coldness and deep affection.

Matthew doesn't consider himself a paragon of virtue; he's a normal teenage boy. While he wouldn't say he was lustful at first sight, he at least expressed admiration for Black Widow's appearance.

Its main selling point is its visual appeal.

Matthew arrived in Russia, but instead of going to St. Petersburg, he went to a laboratory that had been established 80 kilometers away from St. Petersburg.

The laboratory was established because of five super soldiers frozen in ice at the Hydra base in Siberia.

After being transported via cold chain, the five soldiers were sent here to undergo reverse engineering for genetic derivation.

The difficulty of working backward from the result is vastly different from that of developing and researching from scratch.

The process went relatively smoothly.

The biological scientists recruited by Negri were not necessarily the world's top, but they were all extremely outstanding.

Developing a super-soldier gene serum is a pipe dream for these scientists, but reverse engineering is within their grasp.

The laboratory is a base that is neither too big nor too small.

There were more than forty soldiers guarding the area, which was well hidden and not easily noticed.

Reicher and Roseco were sent here by Matthew to take charge of the affairs early on.

As for Natasha, she never expected that the person who recruited her was just a young boy who looked to be around 18 years old.

She never expected to be taken to the laboratory and witness a research project she had never imagined.

Standing outside the laboratory filled with various instruments, I could see five cryogenic hibernation pods and five super soldiers wearing black cryogenic hibernation suits, frozen inside, through the glass.

Besides these, there were also many scientists wearing white coats and masks, busy working in front of the instruments.

"Hydra, super soldiers, what a fantastic day."

Natasha said with a sigh.

The world is too complicated. She thought her own experiences were exciting enough, but compared to these, they are far from being exciting enough.

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Matthew beside her.

Matthew, dressed in a black coat and white shirt, jeans and Doc Martens, looked much more mature.

"It seems I have no choice."

The meeting took place in the laboratory, where she was allowed to view these classified documents. There was no doubt that Natasha had completely no way out.

Join us or die.

"I wouldn't stoop to using such methods to force you to join," Matthew scoffed.

Most people would do that, but Matthew wouldn't.

It wasn't out of pride, but out of confidence.

From beginning to end, his confidence came from himself, and of course, from external assistance.

He recruited Reich, Negri, and others, controlled Pierce, and set up a laboratory to research super-soldier gene serum, all to make things more comfortable for himself in the future.

To change the lives of those with tragic fates and to fulfill some regrets they felt they had in their past lives.

For cultivators, achieving enlightenment is as simple as having a single thought.

Natasha is beautiful and talented, but not essential.

Matthew was able to come here to recruit Natasha because he could find the Red Room's headquarters and its top official, Drake, through Natasha.

For Drekoff, the Black Widows cultivated by the Red Room were his real target.

It would be best to recruit Natasha, but we won't force Matthew if we can't.

As for whether Natasha will leak information after she leaves?

It's not that Matthew underestimates this woman, but even if she were to leak information, who would she tell it to?

Nick Fury?

Putting everything else aside, the biggest behind-the-scenes boss and master of S.H.I.E.L.D. is none other than myself. In short, who in the court has filed a complaint against me?

Furthermore, for someone like Natasha who is constantly on guard and confused, sincerity is a surefire way to win.

really.

Using his Observation Haki, he could clearly sense that Natasha's guard had relaxed slightly after Matthew finished speaking.

After a moment of silence.

Natasha sighed softly, "I just want to escape that nightmare."

"Since it's a nightmare, simply trying to escape isn't a good solution." Matthew paused, then continued, "There must be quite a few people like you in that place."

"There are many like me who started learning and training at a very young age. Some of them failed to complete the training and were deemed unqualified, and their equipment was destroyed."

"Many also died during training because they couldn't persevere. When graduation was approaching, we would be thrown into the Siberian permafrost wasteland, given only one person's worth of supplies, and given two weeks to return. Only those who survived would receive a graduation ceremony."

At this point, Natasha gritted her teeth, her face filled with immense anger: "They will force us to have our uteruses removed."

"A very efficient method. It eliminates one worry, something more important than the mission itself. This makes everything easier, even killing," Matthew added.

"That's right, eliminating emotional vulnerabilities, cutting off family ties, and absolute loyalty—that's what Drekoff wants... Black Widow."

"He has become the deepest fear and nightmare in your hearts."

Matthew chuckled softly, then said casually, "In that case, I'll help you overcome this fear."

Upon hearing this, Natasha suddenly shrank back, her anger momentarily halted, and she looked at Matthew in disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not a heartless boss like Drekoff. You're my employee, and I have an obligation to help you solve your problems, including psychological ones."

"you...."

The social skills she had cultivated since childhood completely failed her at this moment. Natasha was speechless, unable to express her feelings or what to say.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she finally spoke after a long pause, her voice slightly hoarse: "I don't understand."

"What don't you understand? You don't understand why I have to do so much for a tool?"

Matthew chuckled: "Drekoff is just an ordinary man. He wants to achieve his ambitions and control you, so he can only resort to these kinds of methods."

"But I'm different. I'm never afraid of your betrayal. I will treat you with the best and give you respect, and all you will give me in return is loyalty."

"Such loyalty stems from mutual respect and trust, not from physical torture and brainwashing."

"In such circumstances, if someone still chooses to betray, then I will not hesitate to kill the traitor."

He's fair, offering the best treatment and plenty of respect. If you don't betray him, everyone can have a great time. The boss will take you to new heights. But if you do betray him, well, sorry, Matthew will teach the betrayer what regret is.
