"Alice, pull up the footage ahead immediately. Let me see who had the nerve to sneak into my territory."
"All surveillance cameras around the manor have been destroyed. Footage cannot be retrieved for the time being."
"However, I have activated real-time satellite surveillance. The footage is being generated..."
"Generation complete. It is the woman who previously appeared at the World Security Council Headquarters, Natasha Romanoff."
"Black Widow, someone from S.H.I.E.L.D.? Looks like my identity has been exposed. Otherwise, this woman would not have shown up here."
"Boss, do you need me to kill her?"
At that moment, 2B's voice suddenly came through Alice's real-time communications.
Clearly, she still harbored an obsession with killing Natasha.
"If my identity has been exposed, killing her would be pointless. She may still be useful, so just capture her alive."
"Fine! But I can teach her a lesson first, right?"
"Of course. That is your freedom."
"Thank you, Boss. I will complete the mission perfectly."
"I will complete the mission perfectly too." Tifa's voice suddenly rang out as well.
"No, Tifa, why are you everywhere? Can you stop competing with me for everything?"
"Big Sister 2B, I am not competing with you. I am helping you. Boss said we are sisters, and sisters should help each other."
"Thanks, but she is just a human woman. I can handle her alone."
"Is that so? All right, then I will go back and serve Boss."
"Wait. I suddenly think it would be more interesting for the two of us to act together. You should come with me."
The moment she heard Tifa say she was going back alone to serve Loren, 2B immediately objected.
She did not want to be outside fighting enemies while her little sister Tifa fought her creator in bed.
Listening to 2B and Tifa's conversation, Loren did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Since creating Tifa, his life had become much livelier.
He did not know whether there was some malfunction in the intelligent processor installed in Tifa's head.
Or whether Tifa, like 2B, had suddenly developed self-awareness.
In any case, Tifa's words and actions were so human that even he, her creator, was sometimes left bewildered.
However, now was not the time to care about Tifa and 2B bickering. He had a feeling that Natasha's appearance was strange.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.
"Alice, check immediately whether there are any other suspicious people nearby. Natasha is far too cunning.
"With her brains, she could not possibly fail to realize that once she destroyed the surveillance cameras around the manor, her whereabouts would be exposed as well.
"Yet she still did it. That is obviously illogical. That woman must be up to no good."
Loren withdrew his gaze, sat in the executive chair in his study, and closed his eyes slightly as he fell into thought.
"Understood. Satellite surveillance is scanning. Ding dong, anomaly detected..."
"Boss, a suspicious individual has been found on a mountaintop roughly two kilometers from the manor..."
"The target is acting furtively and using binoculars to spy on us."
"A suspicious individual? Who is it?"
"Hawkeye Barton."
"Those two again? Looks like they really have no one else they can use!"
Upon hearing that the visitors were Natasha and Barton, 2B could not help showing a trace of mockery.
Loren smiled as well. "S.H.I.E.L.D. is still in its development stage, and the Avengers have not even been established yet, so it is normal that they lack capable people. But what are they sending these two here for at a time like this?"
Seated in his executive chair, Loren frowned and continued pondering.
However, after only a moment, he seemed to have figured something out, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
"I understand. It seems S.H.I.E.L.D. only suspects my identity and has not fully confirmed it yet.
"So they intend to use Natasha as bait to lure 2B out and confirm their intelligence.
"I knew Natasha was not that stupid. Still, this is rather redundant.
"I wore the Bat Armor not to conceal any identity, but simply to test its performance.
"Since you want to know my true identity so badly, I will let you see it directly.
"Tifa, deal with the one on the mountaintop. Leave Natasha to 2B. Remember, take them both alive. Understood?"
"Understood. Tifa guarantees mission completion."
Upon hearing Loren's command, Tifa did not hesitate for even a moment and immediately split up with 2B.
With a leap, the anti-gravity device beneath her feet turned her into a streak of light as she sped toward Hawkeye.
Outside Morgan Manor.
After destroying several surveillance devices, Natasha swaggered toward Morgan Manor's main gate.
From the way she looked, she was not trying to infiltrate the place at all. She was clearly asking to be captured and taken inside.
"Barton, what is the situation? Have you seen the target come out?"
As Natasha walked toward the manor, she spoke through the communicator in her ear with Barton, who was two kilometers away.
At that moment, Barton was lying in a patch of grass, carefully observing the movements within Morgan Manor through binoculars.
Just then, two women suddenly rushed out of the manor's villa.
The moment Barton saw those two women, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.
Because one of them was the silver-haired demoness who had previously appeared at the World Security Council Headquarters.
"I see her. It is that silver-haired woman. She is heading toward you. Be careful."
"I understand. Your mission is complete. Retreat immediately. Leave the rest to me."
Hearing Hawkeye's words, Natasha frowned and immediately instructed him through the communicator.
Barton took a deep look in Natasha's direction, then turned to leave.
But at that moment, he noticed a shadow falling over him.
As a S.H.I.E.L.D. super-agent, he did not even need to think. He instinctively rolled forward.
The instant he rolled away, a breathtakingly beautiful figure descended from the sky.
At the same time, she directly performed a forward somersault into a downward kick.
Her right foot crashed down like a cannonball, instantly smashing a huge crater into the ground.
If that kick had landed on him just now, he would have been severely injured even if it did not kill him!
"Since you have already come, why rush to leave?"
At that moment, a pleasant voice rang in his ears.
When he looked up, he was instantly stunned by her beauty.
Because the one standing before him was Tifa.
"Who are you?"
"Tifa, Morgan Manor's head housekeeper and Boss's most beautiful bed warmer."
"???" Barton.
"Tifa, how dare you? I am obviously the most beautiful bed warmer."
"..." Loren.
