A week has passed since the party night, and Charlotte Doyle has been training in Chakra control and mastering his surging power during this time.
During this week, Charlotte received 30,000 copper coins, 2 Ninja Recruitment Scroll (double rewards for VIP level 2 and above), 300 Reputation Points, 50 bowls of Delicious Ramen, 200 Ninja Jade, 200 Reincarnation Stone, and 300 Reputation Points through system check-ins.
On the other side.
Wakanda.
Some time has passed since T'Challa purchased three doses of Physical Enhancement Serum and one Sealing Scroll from the Sunagakure Puppet Shop. The three doses of Physical Enhancement Serum were used by T'Challa, T'Chaka, and Shuri respectively.
With the enhancement of the Physical Enhancement Serum, the father and son who had taken the Heart-Shaped Grass received even greater enhancements than Shuri, and their physical strength alone surpassed that of Barton and Natasha.
Inside the Royal Palace.
T'Challa began, "Father, there's been an alien attack in New York, and surprisingly, so many superheroes have gathered New York during this attack."
T'Chaka watched the video of the Battle of New York playing in front of him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "It seems the outside world is more dangerous than we imagined. Although we are the most technologically advanced country on this planet, they are much faster than us in other areas."
"How's the investigation going with T'Challa's Sunagakure Puppet Shop and the people who attacked you last time?"
T'Challa tapped a few times on the virtual screen in front of him, and then a photo of the Sunagakure Puppet Shop's storefront appeared, along with photos of four Sunagakure.
"According to the intelligence that Shuri obtained through the internet, and the information sent back by our Wakanda spies in New York, a new group of superheroes has emerged in New York: the ninjas."
"Unlike the Avengers as officially announced, the ninjas are mainly divided into four factions: Charlotte's Agency, Sunagakure Puppet Shop, Sound Ninja New York Base, and Kirigakure New York Station."
"Currently, only Charlotte's Agency and the Sunagakure Puppet Shop are fully open to the public; the Sound Ninja and the Mist Ninja do not engage in commercial activities."
"The main force in this Battle of New York consisted of Konoha Ninja from Charlotte's Agency, while the ninjas from the Sunagakure Puppet Shop and these people were all extraordinary ninjas, just belonging to different factions."
"As for the Physical Enhancement Serum, they are the main products they sell, which is slightly different from what we previously guessed. Physical Enhancement Serum products are not widely available outside, but they should be widely available among ninjas."
"However, the strength of ninjas is not just due to Physical Enhancement Serum, but also to other things we don't know about, perhaps their training system or something else."
T'Chaka frowned slightly, then said, "T'Challa, the strength of Wakanda lies primarily in Vibranium and the technology developed based on Vibranium."
"Although every king consumes the Heart-Shaped Grass -Heart-Shaped Grass, the Black Panther Suit is far more powerful than the strength it grants."
At this point, T'Chaka changed the subject and continued, "But only a strong physique can truly unleash the power of the Black Panther Suit."
"Next, take the guards to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop and buy another batch of Physical Enhancement Serum. If possible, buy as many as you can."
"We'll have Shuri see if he can crack the code and figure it out. Even if he can't, we'll have to inject all members of the Royal Guard with Physical Enhancement Serum."
T'Challa asked doubtfully, "Father, what about Wakanda's Minister of Military Affairs W'Kabi, and his soldiers?"
"Don't they need to be injected with Physical Enhancement Serum?"
T'Chaka looked at his son, stared at him for a few seconds, and then said, "If Shuri can develop it, we can promote it on a large scale."
"If we can't figure it out, then this thing can only be used on a small scale."
T'Challa retorted, "Father, even if Shuri can't figure it out for now, it's not expensive. One tube only requires fifteen kilograms of Vibranium, and the national reserve is enough to afford one tube for every person in the country."
"T'Challa, do you think they'll supply this stuff in unlimited quantities?"
"When you buy something with a large amount of Vibranium, do you think the price might go up, or that the buyer might no longer need Vibranium?"
"You only bought three Physical Enhancement Serum and already attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives. What do you think they will do when a large amount of Vibranium floods the market?"
After hearing his father's advice, T'Challa realized that he had been thinking too simply. He had only been thinking about strengthening the physical fitness of the entire population of Wakanda. Now that he heard his father say this, he knew that he had been simplistic. Unless Shuri developed Physical Enhancement Serum, or even upgraded it, it would be impossible to make it available to all citizens. Even equipping elite soldiers with it would be extremely difficult.
"Father, I underestimated the situation."
T'Chaka nodded, then asked, "Have you found out who attacked your forces last time?"
T'Challa clicked a few more times on the computer, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. eagle emblem appeared.
"It has been confirmed that the forces that attacked me last time were agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.."
T'Chaka murmured, "S.H.I.E.L.D...."
"The force that controls the Avengers?"
"Yes, Father."
"However, according to our intelligence, the Avengers have already left New York. Thor has returned to Asgard, while Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers have also left New York. Apart from Stark, the others who remain in New York are all S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents."
"I just don't understand why they're attacking me. Is it simply because I went to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop?"
T'Chaka looked at T'Challa and said, "Perhaps this one reason is enough."
"You're not the first person to know about the Physical Enhancement Serum. Perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D.. already knew about Physical Enhancement Serum amazing uses, or perhaps those Avengers members who are S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents are so powerful because they used it."
"They didn't dare attack the powerful Sunagakure, so they kept an eye on the people coming out of there. You just happened to come out with a box containing the Physical Enhancement Serum, which is why they came after you."
Upon hearing the result, T'Challa angrily exclaimed, "Doesn't that place advocate free trade? How can they do this?"
"As expected of backward countries, they are indeed barbaric."
T'Chaka nodded, agreeing with his son's words, and then said, "This time I want you to take a squadron of Stealth Fighter as your escort, and I will also send Okoye with a whole squadron of Royal Guard members to protect your safety."
"With so many people protecting you, and with your greatly increased strength, even if S.H.I.E.L.D.. attacks again, given their calculated strategy and lack of awareness, they shouldn't pose any real risk."
"Even if they send out the rest of the Avengers this time, we don't need to be afraid of them."
Upon hearing his father's arrangement, T'Challa asked, "Father, isn't having so many people a bit too much of a show?"
T'Chaka shook his head and said, "We won't make a big fuss. As long as you complete the transaction and immediately board the plane back to Wakanda, even if they find out, they won't be able to keep up or find the Stealth Fighter."
"Do as I say."
"Yes, Father!"
······
Soon after King T'Chaka's order was given, Okoye's Royal Guard sprang into action, mobilizing a 29-man squad, nine of whom were tasked with piloting Wakanda's Stealth Fighter.
Wakanda's guard is different from that of other countries; they are all female warriors, and all of them can use laser weapons made of Vibranium and pilot fighter jets made of Vibranium.
For this transaction, T'Challa prepared a full 450 kilograms of Vibranium, enough to exchange for Physical Enhancement Serum for thirty people.
However, before leaving, T'Challa went to Shuri's Laboratory.
"Shuri, have you figured out anything about that Sealing Scroll that can store items?"
"I'm going to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to trade items this time. Should I bring you some Sealing Scroll for research?"
Shuri stopped his experiment and looked at his brother, saying, "No need. This thing shouldn't belong to the realm of technology; I have absolutely no way of deciphering it."
"However, this thing has also given me a lot of new ideas. I believe that in the future I will be able to develop portable equipment, so you won't have to carry the Black Panther helmet around all the time."
Hearing that his sister had an idea, T'Challa praised, "Haha, I knew you were the best at technology, sister! I knew you were just as good as that Tony Stark from the outside world!"
"Since you don't need anything here, I'll be on my way."
Hearing T'Challa praise him, Shuri smiled and said happily, "Go, brother."
T'Challa waved and left the Laboratory.
At that moment, T'Challa recalled the words the woman had spoken during the initial transaction, "No one but a ninja can use the Sealing Scroll."
Unexpectedly, just as the other party had said, his own sister was also completely helpless against this thing.
T'Challa looked worried. If the Physical Enhancement Serum was also an unbreakable item like the Sealing Scroll, then Wakanda wouldn't be able to widely distribute this item either.
With this concern in mind, T'Challa boarded the Stealth Fighter piloted by Okoye and flew towards New York.
As T'Challa's fighter jet took off, eight other escort Stealth Fighter also rose up, flying alongside him towards New York T'Challa.
The Wakanda flight formation flew undetected by any force or individual, arriving safely in New York.
Upon entering Brooklyn, T'Challa made an advance landing at Wakanda's secret outpost in New York, where five bulletproof Maybach were already prepared.
T'Challa, carrying 450 kilograms of Vibranium and 20 Royal Guard including Okoye, drove towards the Sunagakure Puppet Shop near the Brooklyn Bridge, while nine fighter jets continued to escort the convoy in the sky.
It took about an hour for T'Challa and the others to drive to the entrance of the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.
The moment the five Maybach stopped at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, they immediately attracted the attention of passersby, who speculated that some important figure was visiting again.
Because of the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, the entire street was largely unharmed during the alien invasion, and the lives and property of the nearby residents were protected. This led the locals to believe that the owner of the Sunagakure Puppet Shop was a superhero, and wealthy merchants and important figures kept visiting the shop.
Everyone was used to T'Challa's convoy, but they were still curious about which important person was visiting.
Meanwhile, two agents monitoring the area from a distance watched the convoy appear on the surveillance camera. One of them took a sip of coffee and said, "Eli, quite a few people have been visiting the Sunagakure Puppet Shop lately. I wonder which wealthy businessman it is this time."
"Rena, we've been told to keep a close eye on this place."
"Regardless of whether they are wealthy businessmen or members of parliament, we need to create a file on everyone who enters the premises, and other agents will visit them..."
The car door opened, T'Challa, fully covered in his Black Panther Suit, stepped out. He then took an oversized box from the trunk.
As T'Challa alighted from the vehicle, a Royal Guard soldiers, each wielding a spear, also disembarked.
T'Challa led Okoye into the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, while the remaining fourteen stood outside, guarding the shop's entrance and keeping an eye on pedestrians on the roadside.
Meanwhile, Agent Rena, who was monitoring the situation from another street via surveillance cameras, immediately stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Target 084 has appeared!"
Eli asked in surprise, "Who?"
"That leopard, he went to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop again to trade, this time he brought a group of women who wield spears."
Eli immediately said, "Quickly, report to headquarters."
Rena immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Calling base, calling base, this is the Sandstorm Observation Post."
"Target 084 has appeared."
"To reiterate, Target 084, the leopard, has appeared and entered the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, carrying a huge box, suspected of conducting a secondary transaction."
"The target arrived in five Maybach, accompanied by a guard squad of 15-20."
"Base received!"
"Send personnel here immediately."
While Rena was reporting the situation, Eli quietly reached into his pocket and sent a pre-edited text message.
In that instant, both S. H. I. E. L. D. and Hydra within the S.H.I.E.L.D. knew of Black Panther's arrival and the secondary transaction at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop ahead.
T'Challa and Okoye had just pushed open the door and entered the Sunagakure Puppet Shop when they heard a voice.
Welcome!
T'Challa glanced at the Welcome Duck at the entrance, then walked towards the service desk.
Today, Pakura is on duty, while Temari is taking Gaara and Kankuro out to play and shop.
