The next day.
After Charlotte finished lunch, she looked at John Wick and said:
John drove me to the Agency.
"OK."
John Wick went to the garage, selected a Maybach, and drove it to the entrance of the base.
After Charlotte got into the car, John Wick started the engine and drove towards Charlotte Agency.
······
On the other side.
After returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters yesterday, Natasha reported the results to Director Nick Fury. Charlotte Doyle finally agreed to meet, and there was an opportunity to purchase Physical Enhancement Serum and other supplies, as well as to accept mission requests.
Nick Fury immediately decided to send an Assault Team, including Hawkeye and Brock Rumlow, to carry out the escort mission.
Before the appointed time, Natasha set off ahead of time with the Energy Block and centaur to Charlotte Agency.
Five vehicles were driving on the road. Natasha, Hawkeye, and Brock Rumlow were sitting in the middle armored vehicle, with Energy Block in boxes inside the vehicle.
Brock Rumlow looked at the box in front of him and said, "Looks like we'll be adding some new people to our team again."
Barton nodded in agreement and said, "I wonder who will be lucky enough to become one of us. I hope he's easy to get along with."
Listening to her two teammates' conversation, Natasha asked curiously, "Do you think we'll ever see the day when Physical Enhancement Serum become widespread?"
"What would it be like if everyone became such Superhuman..."
Barton shook his head. "Even in the ninja world, it's impossible to achieve universal access; it's even more difficult here."
"Unless we have a more powerful fifth or sixth generation product, this thing will have no chance of becoming widespread, and even then, it won't be possible for everyone to adopt it immediately. It will be difficult even for the elites to adopt it."
Upon hearing Barton's words, both of them nodded in agreement. Even the equipment they were using was high-precision equipment that many elite units could not use, let alone such a powerful Physical Enhancement Serum.
Brock Rumlow looked at the box and said, "This should be our last batch of Energy Block."
Natasha replied calmly, "Who would know? Nick Fury won't tell me the truth."
Hawkeye, who had previously been in charge of monitoring the Tesseract experiments, spoke up, saying, "After losing the Tesseract, this model of Energy Block should be our last batch."
"I wonder what these ninjas are collecting these for; they've already obtained the Tesseract."
Natasha laughed, "Perhaps he doesn't know that the item we're trading is Energy Block."
Brock Rumlow asked curiously, "Didn't you tell him you were going to trade these things?"
Natasha shook her head and said, "No, I just requested a trade."
"Furthermore, Charlotte Agency has not announced that it will no longer accept Energy Block as payment for commissions; of course, it would be even better if it accepted US dollars."
"I heard that the Council specifically allocated a large sum of money to Nick Fury to maintain and stabilize relations between Earth and the ninjas."
Upon hearing Natasha's words, Barton clicked his tongue, indicating that this was very much in line with the Security Council's style.
"As for why they need this, perhaps it's similar to Loki's method; maybe it's to maintain the passage between the Ninja World and Earth."
"Since obtaining the Energy Block, more and more ninjas have come to Earth. I know that new ninjas have arrived from the Sound Ninja, Sand Ninja, and Konoha since the Battle of New York."
Brock Rumlow said, "Then isn't our act of trading with them tantamount to aiding the enemy?"
Natasha waved her hands and joked, "Do you think we can defeat these inhumans without making a deal?"
Brock Rumlow shut his mouth and stopped speaking.
The power of ninjas had seeped into their hearts, especially after they learned that Charlotte Doyle had a Magic World behind him, and possibly even a ninja world as well. In their minds, he was just like Thor, the Prince of Asgard, or even more terrifying than Thor.
After all, apart from Thor's companions coming to Earth to find him at the beginning, no other warriors from Asgard have been seen. However, a number of ninjas from the Ninja World have appeared on Earth, as well as that group of Mage that can't be traced at all.
The convoy soon arrived at Charlotte Agency on 71st Avenue, Forest Hills Queens. After the cars stopped, Natasha said, "You guys wait for me in the car and protect these things."
"Yes!"
As escorts, Barton and Brock Rumlow did not disembark with Natasha to complete the transaction; their duty was to protect the supplies, whether it was the Energy Block used in the trade or the other goods being traded.
After getting out of the car, I walked to the door of Charlotte Agency, where the doorman opened the Agency for me.
Natasha entered the Agency, only to find an unexpected person inside. If her memory served her right, that child had been walking with a kid wearing Iron Man helmet just yesterday.
Could he be a ninja too? Surely that kid isn't Iron Man either.
That world is absolutely insane...
Natasha approached the service desk, Catherine looked at her and said calmly, "The master hasn't arrived yet. You can wait in the Rest Area for a while."
"They offer food and drinks over there."
Natasha nodded and said, "Thank you!"
Natasha then stopped in front of Shisui Uchiha, looked at him, and said, "What's your name, young man? I don't think I've seen you here before."
Seeing the client from the Agency suddenly stop in front of him to greet him, Shisui didn't hide his name: "Shisui Uchiha!"
Upon hearing the other person's name, Natasha glanced at their attire but didn't see the Uchiha Clan's Gunbai crest on the front; perhaps it was on the back.
However, Natasha was still somewhat surprised that members of the Uchiha Clan, one of the founding clans of Konoha, had come to New York again.
"I am Natasha!"
After briefly asking for the other person's name, Natasha didn't exchange many pleasantries with Shisui Uchiha. She simply greeted him, found a seat in the Rest Area, ordered a coffee, and waited.
······
On the other side.
After driving for some time, John Wick finally arrived at 71st Avenue, Forest Hills, Queens. Looking at the five cars parked in front of his Agency not far away, he said:
"Boss, it seems S.H.I.E.L.D.. has quite a few items to trade this time; quite a few people have come."
Charlotte looked out the car window at the car parked at the entrance, nodded, and said, "Hopefully what they brought isn't useless junk."
John Wick quickly drove the car directly into the Agency's garage, which, as you should know, Charlotte Agency half the street.
Upon entering the Agency, all the staff members cast respectful glances at Charlotte, placing their right hands on their chests and bowing slightly, saying, "Lord Charlotte!"
Charlotte in response.
As Charlotte walked towards the service counter, she saw Shisui Uchiha standing nearby and approached him, saying:
When did you arrive?
"I came here yesterday!"
"Okay, come back to the base with me after this is over. Your people are there."
"Yes, Lord Charlotte."
Charlotte then continued walking towards the service desk. At that moment, Catherine saw Charlotte arrive and respectfully greeted her:
"Lord Charlotte!"
Charlotte nodded, then asked, "Where are the guests?"
"My lord, Natasha is over in the Rest Area."
"Have her come to the Reception Room to see me."
"Yes, sir!"
After speaking, Charlotte walked towards the Reception Room.
Charlotte pushed open the door to the Reception Room and looked around; it had been a long time since he had come here to discuss business.
The last time was a long time ago, when Phil Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D.. came to commission the mission. I wonder if that guy has been resurrected. Tony told me that he had died in battle, and Tony was saddened by it for a while.
It's unclear whether Tony will be angry at Nick Fury's deception, happy that Phil Coulson is still alive, or both, when he sees the resurrected Phil Coulson.
······
Natasha sipped her coffee and looked at the magazine in her hand. She hadn't encountered any other clients while waiting at the Agency, and she didn't know if it was because business was bad or the fees were too high.
At this moment, a waiter approached Natasha and said:
"Madam, Lord Charlotte has arrived and is waiting for you in the Reception Room."
"Plz follow me!"
Natasha put down the magazine in her hand and followed the waiter over. Soon they arrived at a large door.
The waiter knocked on the door a few times, waited three seconds, and then pushed open the door to the Reception Room.
As the door opened, Natasha saw Charlotte Doyle sitting on the sofa and stepped inside.
She swayed her body with every step, making herself appear extremely sexy and seductive.
Upon seeing this, Charlotte Doyle immediately interrupted Natasha's spellcasting, saying, "Natasha, you're here to do business with me. Even if you want to offer me your services, the price won't be reduced by a single penny."
Natasha sat down on the single sofa next to Charlotte, smiling as she said, "You're such an unromantic man."
Charlotte thought to herself: It's not that I'm clueless about romance, I'm just not interested in public transportation.
He remembered that Natasha was practically Avengers, and had ambiguous relationships with Barton, Captain America, Hulk, Bruce Banner, and others.
It's said that in order to extract information from Yakushi Kabuto, the two developed a relationship that went beyond friendship.
Seeing that Charlotte Doyle was indeed not interested in him, Natasha wasted no time and went Gate of Opening:
"I have a quest I need to complete, and I need to purchase some items."
Charlotte became interested when she heard about the mission request, since nothing major had happened recently.
"What kind of mission request? Please be specific."
Natasha took out a tablet, opened the file on it, and handed it to Charlotte.
Charlotte opened the video, which showed the scene of S.H.I.E.L.D.. besieging Black Panther in Brooklyn.
Charlotte frowned slightly as he watched the video. He didn't recall S.H.I.E.L.D.. attacking Black Panther. Could there have been some changes he wasn't aware of?
"S.H.I.E.L.D.. would like to commission you to help us locate the headquarters of our target mission."
"This guy killed hundreds of our agents; he's killed more people Loki."
Charlotte was also somewhat surprised to hear Natasha's words, considering that Loki had only killed 80 people in two days, while T'Challa the Black Panther had killed so many.
What happened?
Charlotte was clearly unaware that Black Panther had been attacked twice while making a deal at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.
"This is a Superhuman; finding his lair won't be easy."
Natasha then spoke up, "We have a batch of supplies for the target mission's men; we don't know if they'll be of any use to you."
Charlotte shook her head and said, "No, you misunderstood me. I meant this will cost extra!"
Natasha spoke up, "How about 50 Energy Block?"
Charlotte laughed, "I didn't expect you to have Energy Block. This is a bit beyond my expectations."
"But 50 isn't enough."
Charlotte knew Black Panther's lair very well; she knew exactly where it was.
His men had just recently attacked that country and brought him a ton of Vibranium.
However, it would be quite a show if S.H.I.E.L.D.. were to face Wakanda. With S.H.I.E.L.D..'s capabilities, they really wouldn't be able to defeat Wakanda, which has Vibranium and the support of the Panther God.
"How much compensation would be required to accept this task?"
"The S.H.I.E.L.D.. agent cannot have died in vain; he must pay the price."
Hearing Natasha's serious words, Charlotte almost burst out laughing. If it weren't for the training she received since childhood that made her hold back, she would have laughed out loud.
"One hundred Energy Block will suffice."
Charlotte didn't offer a particularly high price. For information like gathering intelligence on Black Panther's lair, the usual price was fifty Energy Block, so this time she only doubled the amount.
Upon hearing the price, Natasha thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go with this price."
Charlotte pressed a button on the table, and the door to the Reception Room opened quickly.
Selene walked in with a blank Mission Scroll, placed it on the table in the Reception Room, and then turned and left.
Charlotte quickly wrote down the mission details and reward on the blank scroll, then handed it to Natasha for her to sign.
After Natasha signed her name, she continued, "Besides the mission assignment, the next step is to procure supplies."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.. needs 5 doses of Physical Enhancement Serum and 4 Felix Felicis."
"The price should be 1200 Energy Block, which makes 1300 including the mission commission. Is that price correct?"
Upon hearing the quantity of supplies Natasha wanted to purchase, Charlotte guessed that this might be S.H.I.E.L.D..'s last remaining stock of Energy Block.
"No problem, this price is fine."
Hearing that the price hadn't changed, Natasha nodded. "Then I'll have the Energy Block brought in now."
"Sure, cash on delivery."
Natasha pressed the button on her headset and said, "Bring all the Energy Block in. I'm in the Reception Room."
"Receive!"
Upon hearing Natasha's arrangement, Charlotte waved her hand and took out five doses of Charlotte Agency's specially made Physical Enhancement Serum and four Felix Felicis from her Storage Space.
"Besides these things, do you have any other needs?"
Natasha shook her head and then said, "No, for now."
"If I need to make a purchase again, how can I contact you? It's really difficult to visit the Agency otherwise."
Charlotte took out a white piece of paper, snapped her the Snap, and a row of gold-embossed text appeared on it.
God of Ninjas does not belong to this era.
Prime Merlinian ruler of the Magic World

"This is my Business Card. Don't bother me if you're not interested in buying or selling."
Seeing Charlotte's move, Natasha exclaimed, "Wow, that's so cool!"
Natasha took Charlotte's Business Card and carefully put it in her pocket, keeping it close to her body.
Soon there was a knock on the door to the Reception Room, and then the door opened. Agents from S.H.I.E.L.D.. walked in carrying thirteen boxes and placed them all in front of Charlotte.
Natasha stepped forward and opened the boxes, revealing the Energy Block inside—one hundred blocks in each box, totaling one thousand three hundred Energy Block.
"Thirteen hundred Energy Block, everything is here."
Charlotte nodded. "Very well, you can take the things."
"As for the mission assignment, I will give you the results within a week."
Natasha stepped forward and emptied the two boxes, putting five doses of Physical Enhancement Serum in one box and four Felix Felicis in the other.
After packing everything, Natasha got up to say goodbye.
"I'm leaving the mission to you!"
Charlotte, then watched as Natasha led the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents out of the conference room.
