"Wait!"
Aaron was about to go upstairs when Natasha Romanoff stopped him.
"What? Do you need something else?"
Although he had the power of being all-knowing and omnipotent, he couldn't see the future and the past unless he actively used it. But he knew this woman's background. She was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who used her good looks to achieve her goals. In the past, he wouldn't have even given her a second glance. But now, in this world that felt like a game, he was too lazy to do things that didn't please him. Instead of dealing with her, he would rather think about how to get the plots in his paintings to their rightful owners.
Aaron was also curious to see how his meddling would change these destined events.
"I want to know what happened to those ninjas!" Natasha asked, giving Aaron a smug smile.
"Ninjas?"
Aaron's face was already pale, making him look like someone who was recovering from a serious illness. But this woman had been watching him from the start. Killing her would ruin his fun, but not killing her would make him seem weak.
"They died," he said simply, hoping to get rid of her quickly.
But Natasha was not a woman who gave up easily. Seeing that Aaron knew, she pressed on. "Where are the bodies?"
"Everywhere under your feet are their corpses. How's that for an answer?"
Natasha felt a sudden chill. The man in front of her spoke with an eerie indifference, as if killing these ninjas was as easy as crushing an ant. Their lives meant even less.
She thought to herself, I shouldn't have come in. He won't kill me...
"Don't worry, I have no interest in killing anyone..."
Oh no! He can hear me! Should I leave?! This person is terrifying!
Aaron smiled. He realized the woman wasn't as annoying as he first thought. Faced with death, people always showed a vulnerable side, even a seasoned agent.
"Tell me, what does your boss want from me?" Aaron decided to get straight to the point. He would listen, but he wouldn't agree to anything.
Aaron's voice was transmitted directly to S.H.I.E.L.D. through Natasha's earpiece. Nick Fury, the director, stood in his office and gave Natasha instructions.
"Mr. Aaron, I think you're familiar with our organization, S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What game?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D..." Natasha gritted her teeth.
"Oh, I see. The science and strategy thing?" He took another bite of his cake. It didn't taste as good anymore.
"Mr. Aaron, after careful investigation, we've found that you are a human with extraordinary power. We at S.H.I.E.L.D. are planning to bring together such individuals to deal with external crises. So, would you consider joining us?"
Here we go!
"Hmm..."
"You'll join us?!" Natasha was thrilled.
"Not interested. You can go." He had no interest in joining a human organization. If this was his old world, and Athena and a Sanctuary appeared, he would be ready to play. But this? No.
"Huh?" Natasha was stunned. She quickly ran to Aaron. "Are you sure you don't want to think about it?"
"Are you truly stupid, or are you just pretending, Natasha Romanoff? Or should I say, Mr. Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" he said, his voice now devoid of any emotion. "I suggest S.H.I.E.L.D. stay away from me. Otherwise, I might do something that I can't even predict..."
Anyone who heard Aaron's voice would feel a bone-chilling cold. He had made his stance clear. If she kept pushing, she might not be able to leave.
Natasha was not a fool. Knowing she was outmatched, she decided to leave.
"Agent Romanoff, retreat. Abandon the idea of recruiting him for now and continue the investigation without direct contact."
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Nick Fury looked at the file on his desk. He folded his arms and fell into deep thought.
"Yes, sir!" Natasha responded.
She left the gallery, defeated. A gust of cold wind hit her, and she realized her back was completely soaked in sweat. This man had made her legs tremble just by standing in front of him.
Who are you? she wondered.
In the gallery, a black shadow slowly emerged from the wall. He knelt before Aaron. "Master Hades, should I dispose of the human?"
Aaron ate the last bite of his cake and smiled lightly.
"No. You all can go back to sleep now..."
