Two o'clock in the afternoon.
A S.H.I.E.L.D. secret warehouse.
Charlotte and Xi arrived there together. In Sitwell's eyes, this was only the second time the two had met.
"Mr. Charlotte, this is Xi of the Cloud Ninja."
"And this is Charlotte Doyle of Konoha."
Xi came up to Charlotte, held out his hand, and said, "I've heard so much about you."
"Karui and I were even planning to pay you a visit. I didn't expect we'd get to meet so soon."
Charlotte smiled and said, "Since the Cloud Ninja have come over here, we'll inevitably be dealing with each other in the future. Drop by my place sometime when you're free."
Xi nodded. "Then I'll gladly accept."
After exchanging pleasantries, Charlotte and Xi entered the warehouse together.
Looking at this familiar warehouse, Charlotte smiled. This was the place he had come to last time while transformed as Ao. Only afterward, S.H.I.E.L.D. had moved all the 084 Objects inside away. He had not expected them to be brought back here again for selection this time.
Sitwell said, "Gentlemen, everything in front of you is an 084 Object. You may begin choosing."
"Mr. Charlotte may take one item. Mr. Xi may take two."
Hearing Sitwell's explanation, Charlotte smiled, then said, "In that case, I'll choose first."
Charlotte entered the area and began selecting. Clearly, quite a few items were different from last time. After using the system's ability to appraise them for a while, Charlotte picked up one 084 Object.
"Agent Sitwell, this item will count as my payment."
After Charlotte finished choosing, he used Genjutsu to hint to Xi, telling him to choose the sixth item in the second row and the third item in the fifth row.
After receiving the hint, Xi took away the other two 084 Objects Charlotte
