Seize the Moment

"Wow, houses in Manhattan are actually this expensive. This one unit alone costs over three million US dollars. And the monthly property management fee is over a thousand US dollars, plus over two thousand US dollars in property tax. It's just too expensive. You know, the place we rented before only cost a thousand US dollars a month," Skye couldn't help but complain loudly about the sky-high price of the house.

Even though One Hundred Million Dollars was in their hands, they weren't wealthy before. Their self-perception was likely still stuck in the mindset of being poor. Their understanding of prices was probably still based on Krillin or Queens. Suddenly arriving in the most prosperous district of New York, or even all of America, was still hard to accept.

The real estate agent leading them heard Skye's complaint and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "Ms. Skye, I think perhaps you should consider continuing to live in your original area. Whether it's Krillin or Queens, even if you want to buy a house, I suggest you buy there. The housing prices here are very high, and the surrounding consumption level is also very high. Because this is Manhattan."

It wasn't that the agent lacked professional ethics. It was simply that Skye and Saitama's attire was very ordinary, and their demeanor and actions didn't resemble those of wealthy people at all. If he had known they looked like this earlier, he wouldn't have even brought them to view houses here.

Now, hearing Skye's complaints, and coupled with Skye saying their previous rent was only a thousand US dollars a month, it completely convinced him that Skye and Saitama couldn't possibly buy a house here, or even rent one. Because even renting here would cost at least five thousand US dollars a month.

Renting here for a few years, the rent alone could even buy a house in Krillin or Queens.

"You shut up!" Skye was furious. Perhaps it was because she had money that she had the confidence. Facing the agent's mockery, Skye retaliated strongly.

"Do you think we don't have money? Open your dog eyes and look clearly, what is this?" Skye took out her phone and showed the bank notification to the agent. "Maybe we were poor before, but now, we are very rich. We are billionaires. So, you damn agent, shut your dog mouth."

"Oh, my apologies. These dog eyes of mine are truly blind. To have made such a wrong judgment. Ms. Skye, you are so charming. I can't believe I made such a mistake earlier. Perhaps I need to go to the hospital to see if there's a problem with these dog eyes, and my dog mouth!"

The agent was truly adaptable, willing to do anything for money. However, this also showed the great charm of money. It could change a person's expression in just one second.

"..." Skye and Saitama looked at the agent speechlessly. This agent was truly something. After all, they had never met such a shameless person.

However, Skye really liked the life of the rich. After all, apart from powerful strength like Saitama's, the only other thing that could instantly change someone's attitude was the charm of money.

A house worth several million US dollars was still bought. They didn't even change the agent, because Skye liked seeing this agent act like a servile dog, running errands for her. Although the agent would also earn a significant sum later, watching the agent busy himself like a dog servant was definitely a form of enjoyment for Skye.

After the house came the car. In short, if you have money, not spending it quickly is simply not being an American. The idea of saving money is definitely not something an American should have.

Enjoying the moment is the American way of thinking. At most, when spending money, one has a clear plan to avoid becoming a pauper again in just a few years. That would already be a successful and smart American.

"Phil Coulson, how is your investigation regarding Invisible Man coming along?" Nick Fury asked Phil Coulson with a serious expression.

"Uh, Director, there's been no progress on Invisible Man. It seems he knows we're investigating him, so he hasn't appeared again recently," Phil Coulson said with a wry smile.

"So, up to this point, you still have no leads?"

"Yes, Director. I think Daredevil might have notified Invisible Man through some channel we don't know about, which is why Invisible Man has gone into hiding."

"So, a blind man has managed to deceive all of you?"

"Well, he's not an ordinary blind man."

"Even if he's not an ordinary blind man, he's still a blind man, isn't he? Phil Coulson, I am very disappointed with your work."

"I apologize for disappointing you, Director. However, Kingpin might be making a big move soon, so I believe Invisible Man will reappear soon," Phil Coulson said quickly.

"A big move?"

"Yes, Kingpin has started cooperating with Madame Gao, and at the same time, Bullseye, who was previously crippled, has also reappeared. Given Bullseye's personality, he might seek revenge on Daredevil and Invisible Man next. We just need to wait," Phil Coulson had done his homework. After all, Invisible Man was important to Nick Fury, so Phil Coulson had been focusing on Hell's Kitchen for some time.

"Alright, I hope you don't disappoint me again," Nick Fury nodded. In reality, he understood Phil Coulson's abilities very well. The current situation was indeed quite difficult, so it was normal for Phil Coulson to be unable to do anything.

"Yes, Director, I will definitely find Invisible Man," Phil Coulson promised. "By the way, Director, do you remember a photo I sent you before?"

"What photo?"

"The bald one--"

"Hmm?" Nick Fury's single eye stared intently at Phil Coulson.

"Uh, Director, I wasn't referring to your bald head. Uh, before Tony Stark went missing, didn't I send you a photo? I told you back then that he was a poor imitation of Invisible Man and Daredevil."

"Continue," Nick Fury narrowed his eyes at Phil Coulson.

Phil Coulson couldn't help but swallow. He had a bad feeling.

"Tony Stark was rescued this time, and the person who rescued him was that bald man."

"Oh? A poor imitation of Invisible Man and Daredevil managed to rescue Tony Stark in a place like the Middle East, ahead of all the mercenaries? This is what you call a poor imitation? Phil Coulson, it seems your intelligence has been a bit problematic lately." Nick Fury's face darkened. Well, his face was already dark, so no one could actually tell the change in his complexion.

"Yes, but Director, I will investigate him."

"No need. I already have arrangements for Tony Stark. You continue to keep an eye on Hell's Kitchen. You must find Invisible Man for me. If you can't do it, then get out and go to the South Pole to keep company with the polar bears."

"Uh, Director, polar bears aren't in the South Pole--"

"Get out."

"Yes, Director!"
