Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Price of Talking to Kara

"Kara, you know what? Yesterday the chairman of the United Construction Company died. As soon as Carla got to work, Felicia, as her secretary, came to her with a newspaper, pointed to the huge news headline on it, and said to Carla with a surprised face.

"A lot of people die in New York every year, and every year there are many CEOs jumping off buildings, and it's not a big deal to have less of them." Kara didn't care about Wilson Fisk's death, after all, she was the one who pushed that guy off the Union building.

"You're boring." The little secretary was also a little dissatisfied with Kara's state, obviously she came to talk to her, but she actually said this kind of thing.

After gently flicking Felicia's brain, Carla also smiled and looked at the little secretary who was rubbing her head and said, "Have you negotiated the appointment with Stark Industries?" ”

"It's already booked, and I should come over today to talk to us about trading Stark's weapons department, but the person who came to talk about it is not Tony Stark." Felicia also hurriedly changed to the state of work, and said to Carla meticulously about the appointment, "It seems that their genius CEO is now troubled by some problems and rarely shows up in the company." ”

"It doesn't matter to us, I just want to talk to someone who can take full responsibility for this." Carla had already walked into her office as she spoke, "If someone from Stark Industries comes, let me know and arrange the largest conference room." ”

"Understood!" Felicia also made a saluting gesture to Kara's back, and then ran to her place and began to arrange Kara's itinerary for the next period of time.

But before Felicia could sit on the warm bench, a phone call from the security department reached her.

"What's wrong?" Felicia picked up the papers on her desk and answered the phone to ask what was going on, so that Security could call her directly.

"There's a team of FBI agents going up, like they're looking for Miss Hammer." The Minister of Security, in the fastest and most concise terms, explained why he was making the call.

Hearing the voice of the FBI agents coming, Felicia was also a little helpless, the last time her boss was taken away by those FBI agents, and this time she came again.

"Okay, I see, just keep doing your security work." Felicia hung up the phone and came to Kara's office after dropping the sentence.

"Come in." Kara's voice was heard from the office as soon as she was still standing.

Felicia had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and she also pushed open the door directly and walked in: "The FBI agents are here again, this time I don't know what the reason is." ”

"Okay, I see."

"Do I need to cancel my meeting with Stark Industries?" Felicia asked this question.

"It's not necessary, it's going to be resolved soon, not to mention that even if it's the FBI, it's impossible to subpoena the same person for two days in a row." Kara believes that the pressure on the FBI from the Department of Defense is absolutely high, and the FBI is completely unable to do anything to subpoena herself now.

So the only one who can do this kind of thing is S.H.I.E.L.D. in the skin of the FBI.

"Ding~"

The sound of the elevator arriving also sounded at this time, and a team of men in black also walked towards Kara's office menacingly, and an FBI agent also stepped forward and knocked on Kara's door.

"Looks like they've arrived." Kara didn't lift her head, just continued her work, "Come in." ”

And when the group walked in, Felicia's eyes fell on the FBI agent who only had one eye left.

Although she was quite puzzled, Felicia didn't say anything at this time, just quietly waiting for the development of things on the sidelines.

"When will you be able to give up wearing the skin of the FBI? It's like you're leaving the FBI, and you're not going to do anything. By the time Kara spoke, the smell of gunpowder between the two parties had almost been filled.

Felicia, on the other hand, was just a little shocked and looked at the FBI agents. Truth be told, aside from the one-eyed guy, Felicia didn't see anything wrong with the others.

But thinking that so many organizations in the United States will borrow the name of the FBI when they enforce the law at home, she probably knows that these guys in front of her don't know which secret service organization they are.

"It was nine thirty-one a.m. when you came in, and I suggest that you end this inquiry as soon as possible, for which you don't know what it is, or you will have to pay a lot of money." It wasn't until this moment that Carla raised her head and looked at the line of so-called FBI agents who appeared in her office, "Felicia will keep track of time from now on, not everyone can knock on my door at will." ”

"Understood." Felicia also started recording the time directly.

"When did the new chairman of Hammer Industries start charging by the same hour as those lawyers and accountants?" Quite naturally, Nick Fury pulled out the chair across from Kara and sat down.

"Divide people, detective." Kara leaned back in her chair and said to Nick Fury with a relaxed expression, "The people I invite are naturally fine, but you are uninvited villains, so naturally you will have to charge." Felicia, and the price of a chair. ”

Nick Fury didn't want to ask how much Carla was charged for the hour, for a person with deep pockets like them, or for an organization like them with billions of dollars, Kara could afford to charge no matter how much money she charged.

But Kara's last words did make Nick Fury a little unhappy.

What does it mean to sit down and then say that you have to write down the price of a chair?

"Is Miss Hammer racist?" Nick Fury's eyes are quite dangerous at the moment, after all, this kind of thing is definitely a huge scandal for Hammer Industries, if it breaks out.

The CEO of an arms company is racist?

"No, no, no, you're wrong, I'm not racist, I'm justβ€”" Kara's gaze slowly sharpened, "I hate you." ”

When Kara said this, Nick Fury couldn't do anything. No one can stop who hates whom, and there is no way to stop who likes whom, and now that this situation has occurred, he can only secretly remember it in his heart.

There may be a chance to get revenge back later.

"I think Miss Hammer should know very well why we're here?" Although Nick Fury used the interrogative sentence, the affirmative tone was clearly a sure sure that Kara knew what they were here for.

"I'm sorry, when I was a kid watching DC Comics, I hated that riddler in Gotham City, something that can be explained in one or two sentences, and if you have to play some riddle puzzle, it really makes people want to beat him to death with a stick." Carla said these words with a smile on her face, and there was no change in the slightest, "I don't know if anyone like you has ever read DC Comics?" ”

"I watched it, and I watched it overnight, but I watched it at the DC Met."

"That's a shame, I've always thought Batman was quite attractive as a mortal hero in DC Comics." Kara shook her head with some regret, as if saddened that Nick Fury had missed out on a good comic.

"But Christopher Nolan did make two Batman movies in the last two years, and I think it's a pretty good feeling, and if you have time, you can watch the re-release." Suddenly, Kara's words changed to a topic, and instead she began to recommend movies to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury shook his head: "I don't think I have that much time to go to the theater and watch a movie or two. ”

"Then I feel sorry for you."

Nick Freiner is the only one left eye with a shrewd gaze: "But I think the first superhero Superman pushed out by DC Comics is worth seeing, that kind of truth, goodness and beauty, isn't it worth learning?" ”

Nick Fury wanted to see how Carla would behave after hearing the name Superman, especially since he praised Superman for his perfect qualities.

"To be honest, I've always felt that Superman's kind of truth, goodness and beauty are a little too empty, but this also just copes with his title of god on earth, if God doesn't have divinity, how can he be called a god?" Kara obviously didn't feel anything about Nick Fury's words, but just said her feelings about Superman very calmly, "But I have to say that it's because of Superman's perfection that so many people like him, isn't it?" ”

"If there is such a god in the human world, I think our work in S.H.I.E.L.D. can be put on hold for a while." Nick Fury said something quite easily, "I'm afraid that such a guy who will appear at that time is not as true, kind and beautiful as Superman, but a selfish person." ”

"All men are selfish, but God doesn't, or God wants more." Kara said this to Nick Fury quite seriously, and then smiled with relief, "Look, I said I hate Riddler, and now I'm starting to play puzzles with you here." It's better to be straightforward. ”

"I wonder where you went after your charity dinner with Wilson Fisk yesterday?"

"Let me think about it, I got off the bus, walked around Midtown Manhattan, and found a five-star hotel with fairly comfortable water pressure for a night. Any questions? After careful consideration, Kara answered Nick Fury's question.

As Kara spoke, the agents following Nick Fury had already begun to inquire about which of the five-star hotels in Midtown Manhattan had received her.

However, they did find Carla's check-in information at a five-star hotel, and it was clear that Hammer's new chairman was not lying.

"Director, I've found the check-in information." The Secret Service League leaned into Nick Fury's ear and explained to Nick Fury that Carla had indeed stayed at a star-rated hotel, "but it was a little late." ”

"Then it looks like we're mistaken, I'm sorry, Miss Hammer." Nick Fury also stood up and stretched out his hand to Kara, but Kara only glanced coldly at the guy's hand and didn't do anything.

"Felicia and the detectives, calculate the price of their consultation." Kara turned to her little secretary and said, "At the price of five thousand dollars a minute." By the way, someone came over and took out the chair that the agent had been sitting on and threw it away for me. ”

"Ming, understood." Felicia was also a little shocked by the price explained by Carla for a while, and the five thousand dollar robbery didn't come so quickly in a minute, right?

"Please." But this is not the time to think about these questions, and Felicia also directly took these FBI agents out.

Nick Fury gave Carla a deep look, and then turned to follow Felicia.

Felicia, who was at the front, said: "According to our boss, you entered his office at 9:31 in the morning to start the consultation, and now it is 10 o'clock in the morning, which means that you have experienced 29 minutes of consultation. Therefore, $145,000 was paid. Oh yes, and a Herman Miller office chair for three thousand dollars. ”

"A total of 148,000 dollars, remittance or check?"

Looking at Felicia with a professional smile on her face, Nick Fury was also a little embarrassed for a while.

What is this, the price of talking to Kara?
