Having made up his mind, Harvey knew it was not yet time for any major moves, so he did not dwell on it for now.
Just taking a stroll outside and selling a few pieces of information had earned him ten million dollars. Harvey could only say that the more of that, the better.
In high spirits, Harvey swam freely in the pool for several hours.
This was also a form of training for his precise control over his own strength.
Having already evolved more than two hundred times, he could cause terrifying destruction with a casual movement. One careless swipe, and the swimming pool would shatter on the spot.
In fact, Harvey had wrecked plenty of things more than once because he had just evolved and could not perfectly control his strength.
That was the fundamental reason Harvey had no intention of hiring permanent staff to tend to the manor.
At present, he had not yet reached the point where he could control his strength exactly as he wished after every evolution.
If anything went wrong, it could easily affect his current identity.
Afterward, Harvey lay on a sun lounger in the manor courtyard, drinking freshly squeezed juice, eating fresh fruit, and watching the vivid sunset that looked as though it were drunk. Life could not have been more comfortable.
After resting for a while, night fell. Harvey changed into a handsome suit and drove out in his Ferrari convertible.
After dinner, he still had some post-meal exercise to do.
But just as Harvey drove out of the manor, a woman blocked the road ahead of him.
She was a beautiful red-haired woman in tight leather clothes. It was Natasha, whom he had seen in Washington not long ago.
Harvey found it strange. Why had Black Widow Natasha come looking for him?
Had he been exposed? The thought arose, only for him to reject it immediately.
He believed he had done nothing out of line and had kept a low profile. Even when he went out, he drove normally, and the only places he frequented were various restaurants.
Eating large amounts of food was not only enjoyable, but also brought him many Evolution Points, so it was one of the things Harvey did every day.
However, Harvey's car was forced to stop. Even though he knew Natasha was capable of dodging, he could not just run her over.
"You crazy woman?"
"That isn't how you stage a traffic scam."
After being forced to stop, Harvey tilted his head slightly, looked at Natasha, and cursed at her.
"Mr. Harvey Anberlaka, I am from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"I mean you no harm. There are simply some matters I would like to discuss with you."
Unfazed by the insult, Natasha took out an ID and directly explained why she had come.
Ever since she learned that Earth had long been exposed to the universe, and that the suspected alien Grim Reaper was currently on Earth, Natasha felt that the task of testing whether Harvey Anberlaka was a superpowered individual could not be delayed any longer.
So Natasha chose to intercept him directly. Once they met face-to-face, probing him through conversation would become much easier.
"Leaving aside the fact that I've never heard of the department you mentioned."
"Is this really your idea of an attitude for talking?"
Harvey had no idea what Natasha wanted, but he merely followed the behavior and thoughts of an ordinary person as he spoke bluntly.
The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division was a special unit dedicated to handling all kinds of strange incidents. It had always operated in the shadows, dealing with supernatural events.
It was perfectly normal for most ordinary people never to have heard that name.
"I'm sorry about my attitude, but I have my own difficulties as well."
Therefore, faced with Harvey Anberlaka's hostility, Natasha apologized first, then directly pulled out a gun and aimed it at Harvey.
Facing the dark muzzle, Harvey already understood Natasha's purpose. She simply wanted to test whether he was more than an ordinary person.
"Let's talk this out. There's no need to pull a gun, right?"
"What do you want? Money? How much do you want? I'll give you everything I have."
So Harvey's eyes narrowed. He raised both hands, put on a compromising expression, and spoke in a somewhat ingratiating tone.
Natasha noticed the slight change in Harvey Anberlaka's expression and tone. For a moment, she could not quite figure out what he was thinking.
But after some thought, Natasha knew that even if Harvey wanted to hide something under such danger, he would be unable to do so. Her finger shifted slightly closer to the trigger.
"Don't..."
Seeing Natasha's movement, Harvey showed a terrified expression. He curled up his body and shouted at the same time.
He dared not resist at all because bullets could not pierce his body, and he did not believe Natasha would actually dare to shoot him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three consecutive gunshots rang out beneath the night sky.
However, Natasha's gun, which had originally been aimed at Harvey, had shifted direction and fired into empty space.
A few seconds later, Harvey, still shaken, touched his body and found that he was unharmed. "I'm not dead?"
"You crazy woman, what the hell are you trying to do?"
However, Harvey quickly came to his senses and cursed at Natasha.
"It's fine now. You can leave."
Natasha was somewhat disappointed by Harvey's reaction, but she did not waste any more words. After saying that, she stepped aside and walked into the woods beside the road.
After Natasha disappeared into the woods.
Harvey knew Natasha had not left, but he immediately restarted the engine and sped away.
After Harvey's car vanished from sight, Natasha emerged from the woods.
She was now completely certain that Harvey Anberlaka was not a superpowered individual.
If Harvey Anberlaka truly had superpowers, then when faced with the imminent gunfire, he would certainly have displayed some extraordinary ability almost instinctively to protect himself.
Yet from beginning to end, Harvey Anberlaka had behaved exactly like an ordinary person.
He had also never said he would call the police in front of her, which fit his identity as a wealthy man. A rich man would not be foolish enough to say in front of someone that he intended to report them to the FBI.
That would only make the other party more likely to panic and murder him.
Of course, it was not impossible that Harvey Anberlaka had been acting, but if it was an act, then his performance was far too convincing.
Soon afterward, Natasha rode away on her motorcycle.
Only half an hour passed.
Nick Fury sent her a message asking what exactly she had done to Harvey Anberlaka.
Because Harvey Anberlaka had already arrived at the FBI station, claiming that he wanted a crazy woman arrested, and the appearance and clothing he described matched her perfectly.
"I merely used the most efficient method of testing."
"After the test, it can be confirmed that Harvey Anberlaka is not a superpowered individual."
Natasha gave her reply upon seeing the message.
"Can you confirm it completely?"
Nick Fury was somewhat disappointed upon receiving the news.
"Yes."
Natasha immediately gave an affirmative answer.
"Good. You no longer need to observe Harvey Anberlaka."
"I'll help you deal with these troubles."
Seeing Natasha's immediate reply, Nick Fury knew she must have tested Harvey thoroughly, so he withdrew the mission of having Natasha observe Harvey Anberlaka.
Although he could pay the Grim Reaper to act if a crisis arose in the future, the Grim Reaper was undoubtedly an uncertain factor.
He could not be sure that when humanity faced a crisis involving other aliens, the Grim Reaper would definitely protect humanity for the sake of money.
They were currently at the initial stage of lacking allies, but there was no use rushing matters such as finding superpowered individuals and heroes.
All he could do was pray that things would go smoothly, allowing him to find some superheroes willing to fight for Earth before other hostile aliens truly arrived and endangered Earth.
