Pepper wanted to quietly ask Tony, but when she saw that Tony's brow was tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important, she held back from disturbing him.
However, she could feel that after Tony got to know Coulson and Harvey Anberaka and talked about something unknown, Tony's personality and behavior had changed somewhat.
Because she had taken care of Tony for many years and handled various matters for him, Tony often told her his thoughts and requests in the past.
Pepper considered herself to understand Tony very well, but now Tony had some things he couldn't immediately explain to her.
And just now, Tony's conversation with Harvey Anberaka seemed to be only a few short sentences.
She found it confusing, but Tony and Harvey Anberaka both knew what they had talked about.
It made her feel increasingly unable to grasp Tony's thoughts.
They had been together for more than ten years and understood each other perfectly, but now Tony felt somewhat unfamiliar to her for some reason.
It made her completely unable to understand what Tony was thinking about all day long.
At this moment, the sound of a helicopter's rapidly rotating blades came from outside the house.
Pepper heard this sound and knew that Coulson had arrived, and with Tony's personality, he would definitely ask her to avoid them.
"I'm full, you two go ahead and do your business."
So Pepper stood up voluntarily, observing Tony's reaction, with a hint of expectation deep in her eyes, hoping Tony would say she didn't need to leave.
Even if it was just to pour them coffee, as long as she didn't have to avoid them.
"Hmm, you go back to your room and rest first."
"We have some things to discuss."
"No matter what sound you hear, don't come down, and don't look."
"You can only come down when you hear from me."
But Tony, after hearing the sound and regaining his senses, nodded.
"Okay..."
Pepper saw Tony's reaction, and although she had expected it, she was still a little disappointed, so she agreed and went upstairs.
Tony had a lot to think about now, so he had no time to pay attention to Pepper's mood.
Jarvis directly displayed the helicopter's situation.
Not only Coulson came, but also some faces Tony Stark didn't recognize.
"Jarvis, open the door for them and guide them to me."
Tony saw the situation, stood up, and said.
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis received the instruction and immediately opened the door.
This time, not only Coulson came, but also Nick Fury, Natasha, and other Agents.
After entering the door, under Jarvis's guidance, they quickly brought a huge box to the dining room.
When Nick Fury and the others entered, they glanced at Harvey Anberaka, who was elegantly dining.
"Tony Stark, Howard's son."
"I didn't expect you to one day remember that your father might have left some belongings."
Nick Fury glanced at Natasha, then came to Tony Stark and said.
"It sounds like you seem to know what my father's belongings mean?"
At this formal meeting, Tony Stark heard Nick Fury's words and said.
"Of course, because your father was once a super genius."
"And he had close cooperation with the Military and our S.H.I.E.L.D."
"So his belongings became Military secrets and have been kept by our S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I originally wanted to find an opportunity to give them to you and have a good talk with you, to see if you could discover anything from them."
"I didn't expect you to remember them on your own, as expected, like father, like son."
Nick Fury spoke directly at this formal meeting, his words no longer as hidden as they were during the video communication.
"No need for these compliments, just give me my father's belongings."
Tony Stark saw that Nick Fury's attitude had changed somewhat, his eyes flashed, and he decided not to talk too much, speaking directly.
"Of course you can have them, but you'll have to research them under the supervision of our S.H.I.E.L.D."
Nick Fury did not refuse, but merely stated his condition.
"You weren't acting like this just now."
"So, what you're implying now is that if I kick you out, I won't get my father's belongings?"
Tony Stark raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Tony Stark, I don't want to do this either, but you have to understand, we have our difficulties."
"We need to ensure that whatever you discover next doesn't leak out."
Nick Fury said upon hearing this.
As soon as Nick Fury said this, some annoying clucking sounds came from beside him.
"You send people to monitor me, and you send this crazy old woman to guard me."
"Is this what S.H.I.E.L.D. means by having no ill intentions towards me?"
Harvey, while eating, looked at Natasha, who was standing five meters away from him, and said with a tsk.
"Harvey Anberaka, we didn't want to, it's just that we judged you to be one of the informed parties."
"And your assets might pose some threat to our S.H.I.E.L.D."
"So we need to make sure you won't leak secrets either, and we need you to sign an agreement with us."
"In the future, when your assets require large transfers, they will need to be reviewed by us."
"As long as you sign this, we can let you leave at any time."
Nick Fury turned around and looked at Harvey, saying.
"My money needs to be monitored by you in the future, and then I can leave?"
"Should I also thank you for your generosity to me?"
Harvey also smiled upon hearing this.
"Harvey Anberaka, you understand the dark web, and your wealth could pose a threat to us."
"Therefore, for the sake of mutual non-interference between us, this is a necessary task."
Natasha stared at Harvey Anberaka and said.
"What if I don't agree?"
Harvey retorted upon hearing this.
"I hope you don't make it difficult for us, otherwise, we'll have to use other methods to make you agree."
Natasha immediately pulled out a gun and said with a serious expression.
"Verbal negotiation failed, so you're going to resort to force?"
Harvey's smile vanished, his eyes became calm, and his words turned cold.
As his words fell, the many Agents saw Harvey Anberaka's figure disappear directly from his spot.
"Now, why don't you tell me, if I don't agree, what do you intend to do, and how?"
Harvey held Natasha's neck with his left hand, lifting her into the air, and said coldly.
Harvey's right hand grabbed Natasha's arm that held the pistol, and it was directly broken with a snap.
"Ugh... Ah!!"
The immense pain made Natasha scream directly, cold sweat pouring down her.
Except for Coulson, the other Agents immediately pulled out their guns and aimed them at Harvey Anberaka.
But in an instant, a cracking sound echoed through the dining hall, all the pistols turned into dust, scattering on the floor, and their gun-holding hands were also directly twisted off.
The intense pain made the other Agents and Nick Fury groan, their eyes filled with horror.
"Mr. Harvey Anberaka, please stop."
Coulson saw this scene and quickly said.
"You found that verbal negotiation failed and intended to use force."
"Now you find that force doesn't work either, so you plan to resume verbal negotiation?"
Harvey's movements did not stop; with a casual flick, Natasha's body flew out like a rag doll, smashing heavily against the wall.
With a thud, a shocking crack appeared.
"Pfft ah~!"
This impact directly made Natasha's internal organs churn, and intense pain came, making her uncontrollably vomit a large mouthful of fresh blood.
"Ugh...!"
Natasha felt as if all her bones had cracked, making it difficult to move, and she let out some whimpers.
"Is it very painful?"
"The first time you came to test me, you even shot me with a gun, forcing me to act, to see if I would display extraordinary power."
"If I did, you wanted to pull me into your Avengers?"
"Didn't your foolish mind ever consider that if I truly possessed power, I might just kill you because you intentionally shot at me?"
Harvey directly crossed more than ten meters and came to Natasha's front, looking down at Natasha's face, twisted with pain, his eyes as indifferent as if he were looking at an insignificant ant.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Harvey seemed to have become a lawless, terrifying demon, and his words made everyone present feel bone-chillingly cold.
Tony Stark knew that Harvey Anberaka was very formidable.
Because Harvey Anberaka merely helped him with a casual treatment, which significantly improved his physical condition.
And that method was only referred to as a minor trick by Harvey Anberaka.
But now, after witnessing it firsthand, Tony Stark realized just how terrifying Harvey Anberaka truly was.
This was simply not something humans could deal with using ordinary Military equipment; even if he wore his Iron Man Armor, he would probably only be a toy in front of Harvey Anberaka.
"Harvey Anberaka, let's talk this out nicely."
Nick Fury endured the severe pain, raised his still intact left hand, and said, admitting defeat.
"Talk this out nicely?"
"You want to say that in the future, Earth might encounter aliens?"
"This Natasha is an old woman who has undergone genetic modification, one of the few people on Earth with a relatively good physique?"
"If she dies, it would be a loss for Earth?"
"Leaving aside whether her death, as trash, even matters."
"What does your loss have to do with me?"
Harvey directly sat on the half-dead Natasha's back, looking at Nick Fury and saying calmly.
...
Nick Fury's thoughts were directly exposed, and he fell silent.
"Didn't I tell you just now, if I can't afford to provoke you, can't I at least avoid you?"
"Originally, you made me unhappy, and if you let me scold you a few times, we'd be even."
"As long as you don't bother me, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
"But now it seems your utterly foolish arrogance makes you very dissatisfied with this, and you want to use power to suppress me."
Harvey looked at Nick Fury's silence and said indifferently.
...
Nick Fury found that he couldn't morally restrain Harvey Anberaka and was at a loss for what to do.
It was indeed due to his arrogance that he thought he could make Harvey Anberaka, this Asian young rich man, sign a contract, and then they would truly be at peace.
But he hadn't considered that Harvey Anberaka's audacity to threaten them wasn't just about money.
"I advise you to give up your thoughts, otherwise, I will crush every bone in your body, letting you experience what pain is."
Harvey looked at Nick Fury, his gaze unwavering, but suddenly issued a warning.
This warning made Natasha's hand, which was reaching for her thigh, stop abruptly, and her beautiful eyes showed some despair.
This man was simply a demon, powerful and cruel.
Please vote for me, it's really important to me, please everyone.
