Black Widow, Vought Employee; Tony Came Knocking

"Welcome to the Vought Group."

"You are... Miss Natalie Rushman?"

You may call me Chen.

"I am one of the advisors to the Vought Group."

Chen Ji smiled.

Immediately, one could see the name tag on Black Widow's chest, which featured a sweet, one-inch photo of her, along with her job title and name.

Natalie Rushman.

It seems that Natasha also used this alias and infiltrated Stark Industries.

Now it's the turn of the Vought Group?

That's really interesting.

Chen Ji watched Black Widow's performance with a slight smile on his face, without exposing her true intentions.

After all, Nick Fury, who is behind Black Widow, has the help of the Imposter Starperson and the backing of Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel's power is comparable to, and in no way inferior to Thor's.

She can even Solar Rekindling!

He was almost like a Celestials.

Her energy level has probably reached the sub- Celestials level!

However, this puzzled Chen Ji, Captain Marvel's energy came from the Space Stone.

The Space Stone could actually grant an air force pilot near- Celestials- level power?

If he possessed the Power Stone, why didn't he reach this level?

Still...

He has already achieved it, but he just doesn't realize it?

Chen Ji pondered silently.

I'm becoming increasingly curious about the isotopes of the Infinity Stones!

Perhaps he can borrow the Tesseract and quickly decipher the Spatial Runes contained within it!

Once he masters Spatial Runes, whether he's in the Astral Realm, the Mirror Dimension, or the Dream World, across all dimensions...

You almost don't need to play defensively anymore!

Because Spatial Runes can affect all spaces.

It will still work even in other universes.

"Consultant?"

"Hello, Mr. Consultant."

"I've just Vought Group, please take care of me from now on."

Natasha flashed a sweet smile.

Every gesture she made was the result of deliberate training, and she maintained a high level of vigilance at all times.

That's absolutely Oscar-worthy acting!

Not a single flaw was exposed.

But she just happened to run into Chen Ji!

Having lived two lives, how could Chen Ji not recognize the infamous Black Widow?

He's just waiting to see when Nick Fury will contact him!

It's safe to say Nick Fury won't miss the opportunity to delve deeper into the Vought Group.

Perhaps, even a sample of 'Jotun Spring' appeared on Nick Fury's desk in the Triskelion.

That is indeed the case.

Washington, D.C..

Triskelion.

The office was bright and clean.

The secretary general, Alexander Pierce, dressed in a suit and tie, and the decisive director of S. H. I. E. L. D., Nick Fury, and the commander, Maria Sif.

His gaze was fixed on a bottle of water.

His eyes gleamed with disbelief.

"You mean to say..."

"By drinking this, one can awaken their latent X-Factor?"

Is it really that amazing?

Nick Fury looked bewildered, a deep suspicion welling up in his one eye, almost making him wonder if he was hallucinating.

This completely shattered his understanding of the world!

How could just a bottled water possibly trigger the awakening of the X-Factor?

Gain extraordinary abilities beyond human comprehension?

"That's right."

"Fury."

"This was discovered by the S.H.I.E.L.D.. branch in Sokovia; it originated from the Vought Group."

"It is already widely available in Sokovia and even in the European market."

"It costs about $10."

"Despite its high price, it attracts a huge number of customers."

Pierce nodded.

He only recently learned of this matter and, through Baron Strucker, obtained a large quantity of the Jotun Spring.

But...

For ordinary people without the X-Factor, this bottled water is completely ineffective, but its taste surpasses that of any other aquatic product.

Even Pierce himself was secretly drinking it.

He brought the sample to Nick Fury, knowing full well that he couldn't hide it from this cunning old fox, so he simply opened up and reduced suspicion.

Pierce both respected and resented Nick Fury, because he was the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., and according to his plan, Baron Strucker should have taken over the position.

But Nick Fury, who appeared out of nowhere, suddenly snatched it away!

A hero has appeared in Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D.!

This made him extremely uneasy.

He even refused the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize at one point.

It seemed that even getting close to Nick Fury made his scalp tingle.

"Sokovia..."

"An S.H.I.E.L.D.. branch?"

Nick Fury narrowed his eyes.

He learned from Natasha that the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch stationed in Sokovia was actually a den of wolves!

It's full of Hydra!

However, he could not verify the authenticity of the source of the information.

Currently, Talos is being ordered to secretly gather information; as long as the Imposter Starperson can transform into soldiers, they can gain short-term memories.

But the memories of this past month are far too short.

There is absolutely no information available about Hydra.

Perhaps... only by getting close to Baron Strucker can we uncover the truth!

"Vought Group."

"It seems to have only been established for a month. How could it have grown to this size? Where did its funding come from?"

Who invented this drink?

"Could it be related to Mr. Blue?"

Hill is beautiful and spirited, with bright eyes and white teeth; even her S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform cannot hide her stunning figure.

She touched her chin, looking thoughtful, which immediately silenced the hall.

I have to say...

The coincidence between the Vought Group and Mr. Blue's death is too much to bear!

But when coincidences reach an extreme, they may no longer be coincidences, but rather deliberate acts!

Could S.H.I.E.L.D. really be involved within Hydra.?

Hydra used chemical means to fake Mr. Blue's death, and then sent him to the Vought Group.

Nick Fury's one eye blinked.

Many ideas also came to mind.

It's surprisingly close to the truth.

Even if he manages to uncover the truth, it doesn't prove anything, nor does it represent anything, because everything requires evidence!

But he had no evidence whatsoever!

It's all just speculation!

Don't make wild connections.

"What makes Vought Group so capable of interfering with S.H.I.E.L.D..? And even persuading Mr. Blue to create the Jotun Spring?"

"This is clearly Mutant conspiracy."

"And the companies involved with Mutant aren't just the Vought Group, but also Roxxon Oil Company, the Baxter Foundation, Essex Corporation, Trask Industries..."

Pierce's heart sank, and he immediately changed the subject, forcibly diverting the two people's attention.

They were afraid that Nick Fury might suddenly connect the dots and think of HYDRA!

He secretly complained to himself.

Is Nick Fury still looking for a mole?

You're clearly Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D..!

HYDRA.

After Dr. Arnim Zola joined S.H.I.E.L.D.., he secretly developed his power within the S.H.I.E.L.D., relentlessly expanding his influence over the past half-century, and is now close to taking control of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Officially whitewashed.

Then Nick Fury showed up!

Even Pierce, racking his brains, couldn't guess the reason.

How did a once-marginal field agent end up making such a tremendous contribution and getting involved in an alien incident?

It is said that behind him is an alien superhero...

If it weren't for this rumor, he would have killed Nick Fury long ago!

Moreover, Nick Fury is now in charge of the Avengers Initiative.

Tony Stark, Thor, Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers...

They were all recruited into this organization one after another!

This made him feel even more vulnerable, and he could no longer suppress his desire to act. As soon as Insight Initiative was going to start, he would kill Fury as a sacrifice!

"Notify customs!"

"Seize all Jotun Spring, classify it as a top-level contraband, and prohibit its sale!"

"Find one, shut it down immediately!"

"We absolutely cannot allow the Mutant population to surge again."

After careful consideration, Fury made a decision immediately.

He represented the will of the America government.

The danger must be nipped in the bud before the president discovers any traces!

As the Secretary-General of the World Security Council, a powerful regional official, Pierce was also forced by circumstances to implement this policy in the United Nations.

Overnight.

Jotun Spring has been shut down!

Facing global removal from shelves!

Certainly.

Capital doesn't care about policy.

Even during the Prohibition era in the last century, human desires were not restrained.

Moreover, the Jotun Spring has incredible effects and can even painlessly activate the X-Factor!

How could an ambitious person be ignored?

Capital will be eager to act as long as there is a 20% profit margin.

If there's a 50% profit margin, capital will take risks.

To achieve 100% profit, they are willing to risk being hanged.

With a 300% profit margin, capital dares to trample on all human laws!

The more restricted the supply, the more expensive the Jotun Spring becomes, frequently flowing into countries around the world through gray channels.

The most popular area is undoubtedly Madripoor.

This lawless land with no constraints whatsoever!

Jotun Spring did not experience any sales slump; on the contrary, due to international policies, it became widely known, and its sales continued to rise on the black market and the dark web!

The price is nearly ten thousand US dollars per bottle!

However.

For the Vought Group, the cost price of a bottle of Jotun Spring is only one or two dollars.

Ten thousand times the profit in the blink of an eye!

This also transformed the nearly depleted financial resources of the Vought Group into a major corporation in Sokovia.

The one who was most excited was undoubtedly Chen Ji!

[Your actions have brought about a major turning point in the world's destiny; you are awarded 10,000 points of Luck Value.]

"1W?"

"Not bad!"

"Being banned globally can still provide 10,000 Luck Value."

"It seems I made the right move!"

Chen Ji was secretly delighted.

He is gradually interfering with how the world works.

Furthermore, with his intervention, the world's direction is also approaching his vision.

He is about to usher in an unprecedented era of mutation.

To make Mutant the dominant race on Earth.

And this will surely bring him huge rewards; his Luck Value will probably break through the sky!

He had been looking forward to this day.

But...

Apocalypse and the Mutant Kang were like a sword hanging over his head, constantly keeping him from relaxing.

Raven also searched for information about the Mutant Kang 'Marcus Jodry' through various channels, but to no avail.

Even the high bounties offered on the dark web have attracted no one to accept them!

It is clear that there is a force behind Mutant Kang, secretly protecting him.

Otherwise, with modern technology, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to find out information about a Mutant?

This leads to another possibility...

That is, no one knows Mutant Kang's real name.

He was adopted and given a different name!

"Continue the investigation."

"Raven."

Chen Ji listened to the report and nodded secretly.

There's no need to rush this matter.

His next plan is still to compete for the position of Sorcerer Supreme and make Wanda the Sorcerer Supreme!

To prevent the Dark Supreme Strange from committing heinous acts that lead to the destruction of everything in this world...

And then... continue to delve into the dream world, search for the dream of the Cosmic Celestial, and kill him within the dream!

Battles that occur in dreams will not endanger the real world, but if you die in a dream, your soul will also disappear.

The remains of Celestials, sleeping deep within the Earth, will transform into a plant deity.

He can cast the Soul-Seizing Curse to possess this Celestials's body, and he can also dissect this Celestials to extract the Celestials's flesh and blood!

But the prerequisite is that he possesses the power to kill Celestials.

"It seems... I need to convene the Illuminati!"

Chen Ji was in high spirits.

He wanted to leak this information to the Illuminati!

It's always better to brainstorm than for him to rack his brains all by himself!

But at this time...

Chen Ji's ears twitched slightly.

Then a deafening explosion was heard from afar.

Immediately, Chen Ji looked up into the distance and saw a dazzling rainbow trailing a tail of light, swooping down like a Tomahawk missile!

The speed has already exceeded Mach 2.5!

The distance of nearly a kilometer can be covered in the blink of an eye!

The next second.

A suit of gold and red Iron Man Armor landed steadily, immediately stirring up dust in the raging Riptide.

The mask rose up.

He revealed a handsome and charming middle-aged face.

The uninvited guest, with a flippant gaze, carefully examined the Vought Tower, a hint of surprise in his eyes, before immediately turning to look at Chen Ji.

"List."

"I heard you've become an advisor to the Vought Group?"

Why don't you become my advisor?

"The Energy Ring project was only halfway done when you ran away."

"It really took me a while to find it."

Tony Stark's laughter rang out.

He received Nick Fury's message immediately.

List!

He actually became an advisor to the Vought Group!

It also holds a pivotal position.

He had also heard of 'Jotun Spring,' a beverage that could activate potential X-Factor, and it came from the Vought Group!

Given his working relationship with Chen Ji, Nick Fury chose not to intervene.

Instead, he tasked Tony Stark with personally communicating with Chen, hoping to uncover the secrets of the Vought Group.

"What kind of armor is this?"

Chen Ji smiled.

He was about to contact members of the Illuminati when one of them unexpectedly came to his door.

"Mark 42, Prodigal Son Armor."

"Certainly."

"You can also call it, the Anti-Magic Armor."

Stark smiled wryly.

His face beamed with pride.

Read as "Anti-Magic Armor," write as "Anti-Chen Armor!"

The Mark 42 was created specifically to counter Chen Ji!

During this time, he did not waste any time, but focused his energy on the research of the <Encyclopedia of Magic Arrays>.

With the knowledge gained from this Encyclopedia of Magic Arrays, he nearly cracked the secrets of magic arrays.

Even the Prodigal Son Armor is completely different from the armor in the show. Its surface has the texture of dragon scales and surges with blood-red light, making it equivalent to a magical armor!
