Marvel's Venom, starting with a Hydra undercover agent.

While Holm was lost in thought, Coulson waved his hand and smiled at Daisy, "Of course we can't let the two of you deal with the Hulk. That big guy can't even hold back an army."

"Although I believe our Clint agents are definitely much stronger than ordinary military personnel, and there's no need for them to fight the Hulk to a standstill, because our goal isn't to fight him, but to find his whereabouts and capture him."

"Now Hulk has broken through the military's encirclement and we don't know where he is, but various intelligence indicates that his return to the United States this time is not just to see his girlfriend, but he must have other intentions."

"Therefore, based on this, it can be inferred that even if he breaks through the encirclement this time, he will not flee the country directly as before, but will stay in the country until he achieves his goal before leaving."

“Normally, he would be difficult to find if he didn’t turn into that big green guy, so the military allowed S.H.I.E.L.D. to get involved in order to find him before he left the country, which is why you had this mission.”

After saying this, Coulson paused, then cleared his throat and said, "So your main task this time is to find Bruce Banner or his girlfriend Betty and send the information to us so we can take action against them."

"This mission is similar to the last one targeting the Stark Group, with Daisy as the main focus, since it involves finding people."

"Horm's main job is to deal with any unexpected situations that may occur. After all, with your combat strength, you should be able to fight back and hold your own for a while even if you face the Hulk head-on."

"Understood. As long as we don't have to do anything ourselves, finding people shouldn't be a problem." Daisy felt relieved after hearing Coulson's mission briefing.

She didn't want to face the terrifying Hulk head-on, nor did she want Holm to face him, since the mission was too risky.

Holm nodded after Daisy finished speaking: "I will do my job of providing support, and I will respond immediately if any unexpected situations arise that require my intervention."

Listening to Daisy and Holm's words, Coulson nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, I am very relieved to entrust this task to you."

“You have all completed your previous missions very well without making any mistakes. If you can also complete this mission successfully, it will be a great honor for S.H.I.E.L.D. in front of the military.”

“Those old guys in the military have always had a very unpleasant attitude, their beards are always sticking up to the sky. Banner’s matter has always been a sore spot for them. If our S.H.I.E.L.D. can resolve it, it will not only vent our anger, but also make us more respected. Maybe next year’s budget will be increased again, and everyone will get a share then.”

When the topic of budget came up, Coulson winked at them and gave them a mysterious smile.

Upon seeing his smile, the others present also smiled knowingly.

"Don't worry! We will definitely complete the mission!" Daisy instantly became motivated and said loudly with great enthusiasm, as if she could already see the cosmetics and bags beckoning to her.

Chapter 165, She Knows I Know, and I Know She Knows

"Please rest assured, sir." Since Daisy had expressed her opinion, Holm naturally couldn't remain indifferent, so he nodded and said.

“I’m relieved to see you all working so hard,” Coulson smiled, then pointed to Natasha and continued, “Natasha has some information about Bruce Banner, as well as his whereabouts and patterns in recent years. You just need to contact her.”

"After the docking, we'll go to the outpost across from Stark Tower for the mission. It's empty there anyway, and it's not very convenient to keep going back and forth..."

As Coulson spoke, Holm and Daisy nodded in agreement. After he finished explaining everything about the mission, Coulson handed over the files to them and then went to the space carrier for a meeting.

“Those documents…” Daisy held the file in her hand, looking at Natasha as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Natasha smiled slightly, stood up, stretched, and walked out of the conference room, saying, "Agent Clint, come with me to get it."

Daisy frowned and looked at Holm with displeasure upon hearing this. Holm patted her head and laughed, "Don't always frown, it'll give you wrinkles."

"Go to the base and wait for me. I'll come find you there after I get the documents. We'll have dinner together tonight."

Daisy could only nod in agreement, then watched as Holm left the conference room with Natasha.

Natasha took Holm and left not only the conference room, but also the base, and drove to the city in less than ten minutes.

After several hours of exhilarating fighting, Natasha lay on the bed with her dark red hair loose, and said to Holm in a languid voice, "Bruce Banner's information is on the USB drive on the table. You can take it with you when you leave."

Holm smiled and said, "Only now you remember to give me the information? Are you finally satisfied and only now remembering the important matter?"

"Speaking of which, isn't this a kind of unspoken rule that seniors impose on juniors?"

Listening to Holm's analogy, Natasha squinted and said, "I've traveled almost halfway around the world with Bruce Banner and those military guys, so it's only reasonable for me to accept a small bribe, isn't it?"

“And aren’t you satisfied with doing this?” Natasha said, drawing circles on Holm’s chest with her finger.

Upon hearing this, Holm grabbed her wrist and said, "Satisfied? You underestimate me too much. Saying things like that now, it seems you haven't made any progress."

After saying that, before Natasha could react, Holm once again grabbed her and began to manipulate her at will, and several more hours passed in this manner.

After this was over, Natasha squinted her eyes, completely unwilling to move. Looking at Holm, who was already dressed and ready to leave, she leaned against the pillow and said lazily, "You really have a lot of energy, or are you still unable to let go of your partner?"

"We agreed to have dinner together, and breaking a promise isn't a good habit," Holm said as he picked up his tie from the floor and tied it around his neck.

Hearing his words, Natasha smiled and said, "No wonder that little girl couldn't take her eyes off you. A handsome and polite bad boy is indeed attractive."

"I'll accept your handsomeness and politeness, but I'll pass on the bad guy." Holm said, opening the door. "I'm leaving. You can leave tomorrow morning."

"Wait." Before he could leave, Natasha suddenly called out to him again.

Holm turned his head in confusion, and then saw Natasha wrapped in a thin sheet, slowly walking towards him.

Natasha tiptoed and kissed Homer on the cheek, then smiled as she straightened his tie, saying, "Next time you can try not to worry so much and relax."

"Isn't it tiring to always be on edge?"

Hearing Natasha's pointed remark, Holm smiled and replied, "Aren't you the same? People like us should never let our guard down, or we'll lose our lives without even realizing it."

After saying that, without waiting for Natasha's response, Holm opened the door and went out.

Looking at the closed door and thinking about what Holm had just said, Natasha suddenly smiled, then shook her head and lay back down on the bed.

Meanwhile, Holm, who had gone downstairs, drove over several side streets and soon arrived at the outpost they had set up across from Stark Tower.

When Holm went upstairs and opened the door, he was greeted by Daisy staring at him with wide eyes.

"Have you been sitting like this facing the door the whole time?" Holm asked Daisy, who was sitting backwards in the chair, resting her chin on the back of the chair, with some doubt.

He was curious whether Daisy always sat facing the door like that. Otherwise, why would she maintain that posture as soon as he opened the door?

Daisy obviously knew what he was thinking, so she looked at him strangely and waved her hand, saying, "I'm not stupid, that's too weird."

"I just heard the elevator making a sound and it happened to stop on this floor, and I had a feeling that it might be you coming back, and I didn't expect it to actually be you."

After saying that, Daisy wrinkled her nose and smelled the standard hotel scent on Holm, saying with dissatisfaction, "It's that smell again. I knew that woman was up to no good."

"Pah! And what's with all this talk about getting documents? Who goes to get documents for seven or eight hours straight, from morning till night? Disgusting!"

At this point, Daisy turned and glared at Holm, who was leaning back in his chair, and said, "You didn't resist at all, and just went with her. Humph! Men are all like this!"

After she finished speaking, she pouted, waiting for Holm to say something, but after a while, Holm remained silent.

Feeling puzzled, Daisy looked back at Holm, who had been leaning back in his chair with a slight frown, seemingly lost in thought.

"She knows I know," Holm suddenly said, just as Daisy was about to say something.

"What?" Daisy was also stunned when she heard his sudden and nonsensical question.

“I said, she knows I know,” Holm repeated.

Daisy heard him clearly and immediately understood what he meant, so she also became nervous.

"Oh? Will she tell Uncle Fury? Will that have any impact on you?"

Hearing her concerned words, Holm smiled and said, "It's alright, I know she knows."

"The director must have thought of this when he assigned her this task, after all, I'm not stupid."

"He might be a little disappointed if I don't realize it."

Holm's words silenced Daisy as well. After a moment, she looked up and said, "Want to go out for dinner? My treat."

Chapter 166, The Unusual Tony Stark

As the sun gradually dipped below the horizon, the last vestiges of its orange-red glow faded away.

In the few minutes before nightfall, the rich, deep blue hue served as a transition, adding a touch of melancholy and mystery to the entire world.

Holm and Daisy were sitting at their usual burger joint, slowly munching on fries and drinking cola while watching the crowds passing by on the street.

Watching Holm eat and drink heartily, a stark contrast to his demeanor when he was frowning in thought at the outpost, Daisy swallowed her hamburger and finally asked with some curiosity, "Aren't you very sad about this?"

Daisy was referring to the fact that Nick Fury had sent Natasha to spy on Home. Before, everyone was just pretending, but according to Home today, he and Natasha had both discovered this little secret.

It should have been embarrassing for the secret surveillance mission to be discovered, but Natasha and Holm seemed to have expected it, and continued as usual without saying a word.

In an attempt to better understand Holm, Daisy tried to put herself in his shoes, but the more she tried, the angrier she became. Instead of understanding him better, she became angry on Holm's behalf.

"Uncle Fury is really something. I don't understand why he does all this. It doesn't serve any purpose other than making you feel uncomfortable, does it?"

As Daisy spoke, she took another big bite of her hamburger, as if venting her anger.

"Even though we're special agents, and our profession is inherently special, does it really have to be like this? What is it that he doesn't trust you about? Doesn't he know that doing this would be very damaging if he were discovered?"

Hearing Daisy speak up for him, Holm smiled and said, "After all, my abilities are rather special, so it's normal to be cautious."

"Besides, even if I'm being monitored, it's not a big deal. It will only prove my innocence and ability."

"As the director, the things he considers are definitely different from those of us special agents. He needs to have a broad perspective and a long-term vision."

“Since the director is in this situation, I, as his subordinate, should understand his good intentions. So even if we find out about this now, there’s nothing to say. After all, such things are not uncommon in our special system.”

Holm could understand Nick Fury's cautious attitude towards him, after all, his abilities were indeed special, and it also showed that Nick Fury valued him.

It is precisely because of the importance attached to him and the possibility of promoting him in the future that such monitoring is necessary to ensure that Holm's character and psychology are completely sound.

After all, Holm himself knew that he was indeed a Hydra mole planted in S.H.I.E.L.D., which is why he was able to maintain such a calm mindset.

If he wanted to climb to a higher position and be given more important responsibilities, what did this kind of surveillance matter? Anyway, he didn't reveal any flaws and even got a good time.

Watching Holm calmly analyze the matter, seemingly not taking it to heart at all, Daisy gradually calmed down and stopped thinking about the topic.

Despite this, she still harbored some resentment towards Nick Fury. It was all because of this mission he assigned that Natasha ended up with Holm.

As she thought about this, she scrolled through her phone, which was connected to the computer at the base, so she could get any news about any unusual activity immediately.

Seeing this, Holm didn't say anything more. He picked up a hamburger and took a bite. But after only a few bites, he saw Daisy across from him frown slightly and say something with some confusion.

"Tony Stark is handing the company over to Ms. Pepper, and he's been giving away his collection these past few days... What's wrong with him now... Did he break his head when he went to fight the terrorists the other day? His armor is supposed to be very good, so why is the shock absorption system so bad?"

"The news about Stark Industries holding the World's Fair had already generated a lot of buzz these past two days, with the media practically camping out at his doorstep every day. Now that the hype hasn't died down yet, is he going to add fuel to the fire?"

Since the Iron Man incident, Tony Stark has become increasingly high-profile, but fortunately his behavior is still logical. However, in the past few days, he has acted strangely as if he were a different person, and it is unclear what his intentions are.

Seeing Daisy frowning, Holm roughly understood the current situation.

It seems that Tony Stark has already discovered that he has palladium poisoning, which is why he has caused this series of events, just like the Iron Man 2 storyline in his memory.

Thinking of this, Holm also suggested to Daisy, "Summarize it and send it to Commander Coulson, tell them to keep a close eye on Tony Stark's recent movements and see what he's up to."

Daisy nodded in agreement, then took out her laptop and started compiling information to send to Coulson. She complained with a hint of helplessness, "Our mission is to find Bruce Banner, but we've ended up discovering Tony Stark's anomaly first."

"Are there still no leads on Bruce Banner's whereabouts?" Holm asked, looking at Daisy who was typing away on her keyboard.

He's completely lost when it comes to computers; he can't understand or figure anything out.
