He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 66 The Rooftop Deal

"Don't use your spy tactics on me. Besides, I'm a married man, and I need to keep a proper distance from women."

Li Chuan shifted his feet, easily dodging Natasha's alluring body as she leaned in.

"I know what you want to ask. Hydra has never disappeared, and your S.H.I.E.L.D. has long been infiltrated by Hydra. You agents are actually working for Hydra."

Do you know why Nick Rury contacted me?

He was assassinated by Hydra agents today and almost died, so he wants to get some information from me about Hydra agents hidden within your S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Natasha's expression underwent a dramatic change for the first time.

As a top-notch spy, controlling one's emotions is of utmost importance, no matter the situation, and Natasha is an outstanding example of this.

The previous battles, capture, and even the impending torture hadn't significantly affected her emotions, but Li Chuan's words had thrown her into disarray.

What unsettled her wasn't knowing that Hydra still existed, nor the crisis that S.H.I.E.L.D. was about to face, but rather the statement that she was actually working for Hydra.

Why did she leave the Red Room and join S.H.I.E.L.D. back then?

It's because she believes that S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization truly established for the safety of humanity. She did far too many wrong things while working as a spy in the Red Room, killing far too many innocent people, and she wants to atone for her sins.

But if she's been working for Hydra all these years, then what's the difference between that and working for the Red Room before?

Perhaps none of what he said is true!

In the end, Natasha could only console herself with this thought before getting into the car with Li Chuan.

Upon seeing this, Li Chuan's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly returned to his original expression.

No one in the world is perfect. Even a top spy like Natasha, a master of psychology, has her own weaknesses. Once you find those weaknesses, you can easily take advantage of them.

The car sped along and soon arrived at the Li Group building. Li Chuan told his men to wait in the car while he took Natasha to the rooftop alone.

Twenty minutes later, Tony, dressed in his Iron Man suit, landed in front of Li Chuan carrying a large metal box.

"Oh, Chuan, you have a new secretary? She looks quite nice!"

Tony put down the box, removed his helmet, and looked Natasha up and down in her black bodysuit. His eyes lit up immediately.

Beautiful women always please his eye.

"I'm not like you, where your secretary does all the work and nothing else... cough, I mean she's not my secretary, but my new neighbor next door. Of course, she also has the identity of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent."

Li Chuan explained.

Upon hearing that he was a secret agent, Tony's interest instantly waned, and he understood Li Chuan's meaning. He then pressed a button on the metal box.

"Alright, let's see what our chief, who always likes to trespass on private residences and spy on others, has to say."

"My legs are almost numb, Tony. Can't you consider the physical condition of a 60-year-old man with injuries?"

The metal box opened, and Nick Fury, with a bruise on his right cheek and a bandage on his left arm, squeezed out with a complaining expression.

Tony, seeing this, replied with a hint of schadenfreude:

"There's no other way. This is the only box in the lab that can fit you. Besides, I don't want to carry an old man from Los Angeles to New York. Your body would freeze into an ice cube. Right now, your legs are just a little numb."

"Chief Fury!"

Natasha's expression turned complicated as she watched Nick Fury emerge from the metal box.

That means that what Li Chuan said is most likely true.

"Oh, Natasha's here too. Looks like your mission failed. Well, that's fine, now we don't need to carry out that mission anymore."

Upon seeing Li Chuan and Natasha standing next to him, Nick Fury immediately guessed what was going on.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, never expecting that Black Widow, who rarely failed a mission, would be exposed to Li Chuan in less than a day.

"Has Hydra really infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Although she was already 80-90% certain in her heart, Natasha still wanted to struggle a bit.

Nick Fury nodded seriously:

"Yes, the situation is bad. Now we must figure out who the enemies are and who the friends are."

After saying that, he turned to look at Li Chuan:

"Mr. Li Chuan, Hydra is an extremely evil organization that wants to destroy the entire world. S.H.I.E.L.D., on the other hand, is an organization established to protect the Earth and humanity, and it is recognized by all countries in the world."

"For the safety of the Earth and all humanity, I hope you can tell me everything you know about Hydra."

Starting with moral blackmail, just like you.

Upon hearing Nick Fury's words, Li Chuan immediately frowned, then shook his head and turned to leave.

"It seems this meeting was a mistake. Goodbye then."

"Mr. Li Chuan, we can talk slowly. You can also tell me what you need."

Seeing that the same tactics he used against Tony were ineffective against Li Chuan, Nick Fury immediately changed his approach.

Li Chuan stopped and turned around, revealing a slight smile:

"That's more like it. I didn't even mind that you sent agents to monitor me. If you continue to treat me like a fool, then you have no sincerity at all."

Li Chuan felt no sympathy for Nick Fury. If it weren't for their current predicament, upon learning of his situation, Nick Fury would have undoubtedly used violence to imprison him and obtain Hydra's intelligence.

"Mr. Li Chuan, I think you're overthinking it."

Nick Fury's face was full of sincerity.

Li Chuan didn't bother arguing with this old agent who was full of cunning.

"I need super soldier serum samples and related information."

"Super Soldier Serum? Mr. Li Chuan, I think you've misunderstood. That serum was already gone when Captain America was born. It's recorded in history books, and we at S.H.I.E.L.D. don't have it either."

"Why don't you try something else, like money? Or I could use my connections with S.H.I.E.L.D. to give your company a better future."

Nick Fury looked utterly astonished, then offered a sincere explanation.

But Li Chuan didn't believe his nonsense and said directly:

"Stop talking nonsense and don't bother explaining. Give me the super serum sample and related information, and I'll give you information on Hydra. If you don't have it, go get it; otherwise, forget it. It's that simple."

There is no perfect super soldier serum, of course, but how could S.H.I.E.L.D. not have it? Not only does S.H.I.E.L.D. have it, but the U.S. military, which has always cooperated with S.H.I.E.L.D., also has it.
