Chapter 1033 Identity Disguise Employment Relationship
"Honey?" It wasn't just Maria who was confused by the Havoc's answer, but even Natasha herself didn't understand what he was thinking.
Looking at Natasha, who was surprised by her side, Havoc smiled slightly and patted the back of her hand. Signaling her to be at ease for a while, he then took over the right to speak and said to Maria opposite.
"You heard me right. I can promise you this condition in Natasha's place, but only if I have to be involved in it. In other words, the two of us are going on this espionage mission together. ”
"Excuse me, sir? Are you crazy? ”
After a moment of stunnedness, Maria's voice could barely be heard from the other side. And this is still a relatively polite performance, like the few suit-clad agents sitting opposite Natasha, basically with a stunned, unbelieving expression.
"Ma'am, I think I'm serious about talking to you about this. That's all I have, you know, if you don't go through me, you won't be able to get Natasha to promise you. So, think about it again? ”
"Impossible!" Mary's answer to the words of the Holocaust could not have been more forceful. "Sir. It's a dangerous espionage mission, not the funny one you see in some secret agent movie. Even if we give up on the idea of letting Natasha take over the task, we won't leave this kind of thing in the hands of an ordinary person, and then watch it fail, and end up dragging it out to us. ”
"So, you're just worried that I'm going to drag Natasha down and make this operation a failure?"
Glancing lightly at the undisguised mockery and disdain on the faces of the agents, the Catastrophe smiled slightly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee cup in front of him. Suddenly, the cup made of faience was immediately like a piece of plasticine, squeezed together by an invisible and powerful force. It wasn't until it completely turned into a spherical body the size of a fingernail that the change completely stopped. And this has already made several agents look a little straight.
"The reason why you think this is because you think I'm an ordinary person. But what if I'm not an ordinary person? ”
As soon as he said this, several agents on the other side immediately couldn't help but hold down their waists. It was a pistol, but could a pistol deal with such an enemy? They don't have a score in their own hearts.
At this time, Maria's voice suddenly intervened, but it was barely able to break the deadlock.
"You're a mutant?"
"The ability to manipulate gravity within a certain range, coupled with the strengthening of the body. This kind of ability should not become a burden in your eyes. "This is how the Havoc explains his abilities, and listen to it, Mary. Hill was immediately silent.
It's definitely not the result of shock or anything else. According to Natasha's understanding of Maria, at this time, she should be trying to mobilize the resources in her hands by all means to find out the identity of the Catastrophe.
Although she said that she had full confidence in the catastrophe, she believed that he would not be found out by these small means. But after all, it's a matter of concern, and she's not completely sure in her heart. So immediately, she took cover for the catastrophe.
"The abilities possessed by the dear are no worse than those top mutants. With him by his side, everything will go a lot smoother. And as he said, I wouldn't take on any more assignments unless I was with him. ”
She deliberately showed her intimacy with the Catastrophe. This was enough for Maria to dispel some of her doubts about the Holocaust. After all, Natasha is a very shrewd woman, and if this man is something else, then he can't hide her eyes. And since she can relax and have a relationship with him, then it means that there is nothing wrong with this man. At the very least, there won't be any major problems.
Maria. After all, Hill is the man who has been an agent all his life. Naturally, she will not completely dispel her suspicions about the catastrophe because of Natasha's small move. At this moment, all the information that could be investigated was already in front of her. And like the worst of her guesses, none of the information could reveal the man's origins.
There will always be such guys among mutants. As if they were isolated from human society, no human way of examining information could verify their information. If it's not that these mutants have deliberately avoided human society with their own abilities, then they live in an age that is too old for ordinary information registrants to relate to them.
The oldest record of mutants ever recorded was created by the Apocalypse. Originally from Egypt during the time of the pharaohs, he has a history of about 5,000 years. In addition, Wolverine and his brother Sabertooth Tiger are also hundreds of years old. For some mutants, longevity is a ridiculous problem. And that's something that can easily make humans feel jealous.
Although Maria didn't know what type of man the opposite person would be, she knew that no matter what type of person it was, it would not be easy to deal with. The former are inherently repulsive to humans, while the latter are basically human spirits. These are uncontrollable troubles. And is it really appropriate to let such troubles get involved in your own tasks?
Maria had to admit that she had already retreated in her heart. Just thinking about the terrible situation I'm in right now. She decided to take a risk. Of course, she needs to be further safeguarded.
"This gentleman. Can you name yourself? Of course, it would be best if you could explain the origin clearly. ”
"Want to find out who I am?"
Mary did not have any evasion of the Holocaust. Instead, she was very direct about what she thought.
"That's right. After all, if I don't know anything about you. I can't trust you with the task. Although there is still some confidence in Natasha's vision. But after all, this is a task, a serious and important matter. I have to be responsible for the organization and for the people who are there. ”
"That's right. Some headaches? After all, I don't want inconsequential people to know who I am. Fingers thumped on the table, and a strange smile hung on Havoc's face. So be it. I can give you some of my information. First of all, you can call me Reinhardt. And then, I'm not from this country, and I'm not from any country. Therefore, I am afraid it will be difficult to find out my identity with the resources in your hands. It's a deliberate result of this, and it's something I don't want to be explored. So I hope your inquiry ends here. Do you understand what I mean? ”
"You don't want me to explore your past and background, does that mean you're weak?"
Naturally, Maria would not be threatened by such a threat with little strength. It was even said that not only was she not threatened, but she fought back even further.
"You know, ma'am. This world is not something that can be explored casually. Knowing something may be a good thing. But there are some things that are not like this. That's something that shouldn't be known, and if it does, it's going to be a disaster! ”
For Maria's counterattack, Havoc only gave a subtle smile. Such a provocation seemed to him as ridiculous as an ant feeling danger flapping its chelica at a human who was teasing him with a twig. And he didn't bother to say anything about that answer. At this point, the outcome will be up to Mary. Hill's own choice.
His attitude put Mary in a dilemma. On the one hand, with her strong attitude, it is difficult to compromise such an attitude towards the catastrophe. On the other hand, there are some worries that she will inevitably have in her heart. The myriad abilities of mutants have always had a hard time holding an attitudinal boundary. If it were a normal mutant, she wouldn't have to be afraid of anything. And if it's someone at the level of Professor Charles or Magneto, then if you don't control your attitude towards him, then I'm afraid you're really going to get into trouble.
His strength is the decisive factor in determining how he will be treated. And what kind of strength will he be? Is it as fearless as he is, or is it just a bluff?
That's what Mary was afraid of. Because of this scruples, she didn't even dare to risk any temptation. Because if he's really that kind of mutant who is terrifyingly powerful. This kind of offensive temptation is something she cannot afford at the moment. Mutants, this group is not something to be provoked casually right now.
The dialogue between the two sides has reached a stalemate. At this time, Natasha saw Maria's dilemma. And out of the protection of her friend, she immediately interjected.
"So be it. Maria! We may be able to sign a contract similar to employment. You can hire us in the same way as you hire commercial spies. That way, we don't need to know so much about each other. We bring you the information and intelligence you want, and you only pay us. The relationship between handing over the money and delivering the goods with the other hand should be more reassuring. ”
In all fairness, it's not the best approach. But now Mary. Hill had no other choice. She could only accept this request.
"Okay, just do as you say. Sign the contract, and then pay for it! ”
"Good. So let's talk about remuneration. You know, this kind of stealing trade secrets requires a lot of money! ”
