So, our top agent, "Black Widow" Natasha, is currently in a situation where her big boss, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Howard Stark, sent her to the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division to monitor Nick Fury.
Then, Nick Fury, her small boss, sent her to Stark Industries to monitor her big boss Howard's son, Iron Man Tony Stark.
Now, her current boss, Pepper Potts, the CEO of Stark Industries, directly assigned her to Tony Stark as his personal assistant, and Tony Stark, in his muddled way, became her new boss.
But is that the end of the story?
With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s powerful intelligence capabilities, they naturally collected all her information from childhood before recruiting her; her entire life experience had no gaps or problems.
They even obtained her training files from the secret organization "Red Room." Unfortunately, no one knows everything that happened in that "Red Room," not even the people inside the "Red Room."
The "Red Room" was a special department of the KGB dedicated to training high-level spies. They collected female orphans from all over and subjected them to extremely rigorous and cruel training. Most of the girls who underwent training did not survive, and those who eventually emerged were all top-tier agent warriors!
It was here that Natasha Romanoff survived countless near-death experiences, successfully completed all her training, and transformed from an innocent little girl into a cold, powerful, top-tier warrior.
However, it was also in this "Red Room" that her beliefs underwent an unknown transformation.
Natasha Romanoff, who emerged from the "Red Room," had quietly shifted her allegiance to Hydra!
That's right, the current "Black Widow" Natasha Romanoff is actually a member of Hydra!
Chen Mo is her true boss!
Of course,
Natasha was not aware of this at the time. As a high-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, she knew more about Chen Mo than both Nick Fury and Tony Stark, knowing that he was actually S.H.I.E.L.D.'s leader, but she didn't know his deepest hidden identity: the controller of Hydra, to whom she truly pledged allegiance!
Years ago, before Chen Mo left, he gave his old butler, the new leader of Hydra, Eddie Albert, a list. It contained some talents Chen Mo remembered who might be useful to Hydra, and besides Soviet scientist Anton Vanko and others, Natasha Romanoff's name was prominently on it.
This list served as another powerful proof of Chen Mo's divine status for Hydra, because many people on the list were born years or even decades after Chen Mo wrote it.
On this list, Chen Mo not only wrote down their names but also provided a simple introduction to their identities and noted the possible areas or organizations where they might appear. And facts proved that Chen Mo's predictions were completely accurate; this could not possibly be a coincidence.
Moreover, whenever they found someone matching the description on this list, after a thorough investigation and analysis, the conclusion was often the same: all these people on the "God's List" were top-tier talents.
After being absorbed into Hydra, they also played a huge role in promoting Hydra's development in scientific research, intelligence, and other aspects.
Many years later, when a Hydra agent who had been lurking in the "Red Room" for years discovered Natasha Romanoff's name on the latest training roster, he immediately took notice of her.
Her performance indeed did not disappoint him. She was extremely intelligent and learned various knowledge and skills very quickly. Though young, she had a strong will, knew how to endure, and despite diligent training and rapid improvement in strength, she understood how to conceal her abilities and did not stand out like other little girls.
While some little girls, with their good talent, stood out among the trainees, she still appeared ordinary and inconspicuous. If it weren't for this Hydra agent's special attention to her due to the list, he might have been fooled by her like other instructors.
Natasha Romanoff's performance perfectly matched the prophecy on the "God's List." After basically confirming her identity, this Hydra agent, who had been undercover for many years and held certain power within the "Red Room," used his identity and authority to secretly influence and cultivate her. While helping her grow stronger, he also subtly changed her beliefs.
Although she was very intelligent and precocious, she was still a child after all, incomparable to an elite Hydra agent with Hydra as a backing and a complete and systematic "cultivation" method. After several years of meticulous nurturing, when Natasha Romanoff left the "Red Room," no one knew that she had already become a member of Hydra!
In the laboratory, Tony Stark looked at Natasha Romanoff's sexy and charming figure outside the glass door and decisively put down the tools in his hand.
"Guys, it's time to eat!"
Saying that, Tony Stark picked up a rag from the table, wiped his hands, and walked to the door to open it.
The laboratory was a critical research area, and apart from the few of them and Pepper Potts, no one else had permission to enter.
However, Natasha Romanoff had no interest in the high-tech equipment inside the lab. Her task was merely to monitor Tony Stark. As for the Arc Reactor, Iron Man suit, or super war vehicles, she had not received any assignments, and besides, the S.H.I.E.L.D. big shot was already inside, so there was no need for her to meddle.
"What delicious food do we have today?"
Tony Stark looked at Natasha Romanoff with an aggressive gaze, a roguish smirk playing on his lips.
Under his gaze, Natasha showed no signs of discomfort. Her captivating light blue eyes met Tony Stark's directly, and she replied calmly in her magnetic, languid voice,
"Today, we have steak prepared by a Michelin three-star chef, with side dishes of cream of mushroom soup, fruit salad, baked cod, and French escargots."
After Natasha finished speaking, her gaze passed over Tony Stark and settled on Chen Mo's face, her tone shifting to a respectful, soft voice as she said,
"And your favorite tomato and egg soup!"
Chen Mo nodded slightly. Natasha immediately turned and went upstairs, leaving the laboratory without waiting for Tony to speak further.
Although her true identity was Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. was not her enemy. Natasha Romanoff held deep respect for Chen Mo, the legendary hero who saved the world.
Withdrawing his gaze from Natasha Romanoff's alluring retreating figure, Tony Stark turned back to Chen Mo with a resentful look. After scrutinizing him for a while, he turned to the other two and asked,
"Am I not as handsome as him?"
