Unlike most Marvel fans, Karl never had a good impression of Nick Fury, even before he transmigrated.
Arrogant, suspicious, greedy, paranoid, unscrupulous…
In Karl's opinion, Nick Fury had always used S.H.I.E.L.D. and the pretense of protecting humanity to engage in dirty dealings, where those who obeyed him prospered, and those who defied him perished.
It was as if anything that didn't receive his approval was destined to be an evil act against justice.
But the truth was, many disasters often escalated and erupted precisely because of this one-eyed Merren's excessive interference.
Take, for example, the later "Skrulls Invasion (TV series version of Secret War)"...
If Nick Fury hadn't privately promised to help the Skrulls find a home and then used them as tools,
and secretly ordered the Skrulls to carry out a secret plan called "Harvest" without the knowledge of anyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.,
using blood samples left by the Avengers and other superhuman warriors on various battlefields for genetic collection,
and finally synthesizing a special reagent similar to "gene fusion,"
then Gravik, the Skrulls leader who had always harbored hatred for humans, would not have later become a "Super Skrull Warrior" capable of freely transforming into more than ten superpowers!
And the most outrageous thing was that Gravik was precisely the executor of the "Harvest Plan" personally appointed by Nick Fury.
So, the greatest threat to the Marvel Universe actually doesn't come from external forces.
Instead, it comes from this self-righteous busybody!
The reason Karl dared to confront Nick Fury head-on just now was that he was not afraid of the trump cards in his opponent's hands.
Even if it really came to a fight, if the big-faced Captain… ahem, Captain Marvel came to save the day, he could also call the Ancient One to hold the fort.
No matter how powerful the opponent was, it was only a physical attack.
She was simply no match for the bald demon king.
It's even very likely that a Mirror Dimension would directly end the battle!
This was Karl's confidence now.
After ending the call,
Karl first sent Nick Fury his bank card number, and then began to brainwash Black Widow.
He deleted all information in her memory related to Karl and Sokovia.
As for whether the other party would suffer any sequelae due to the large amount of memory loss, that was no longer his concern.
At this moment, Pietro, who had remained silent until now, suddenly came over with tears in his eyes and said,
"Karl, my good brother, I never thought you would be so good to me…"
"After that ten million is transferred, we'll split it 30-70, you take the big share, and I'll take the small share!!"
Apparently, this kid was moved by Karl's act of demanding a breakup fee for him.
He never expected.
His two-and-a-half-minute 'shot' actually fetched a sky-high price of 10 million U.S. dollars.
If others knew about this, wouldn't he be called the Sokovia Golden Cannon King from now on?
But how should he spend these 3 million U.S. dollars to compensate for the emotional trauma he just suffered?
"I say, little brother, what's wrong with you?!!!"
Karl said with a look of disdain, "What good things are you dreaming about here in broad daylight? That ten million is going to be confiscated."
Still want to split the money?
I told you not to just drink, but to eat some food!
If you had even a single peanut, you wouldn't be this drunk.
Just now, I was clearly just using you as a pretext to extort S.H.I.E.L.D., why did you take it seriously, kid?
Besides, when you marry your sister to me in the future, won't you give me a dowry?
This ten million can only be considered a deposit, okay!
Young man, keep up the good work in the future and strive to gather Wanda's dowry as soon as possible.
A good man must play hard to get.
Soon.
With the sound of a text message notification, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ten million U.S. dollars arrived as promised.
It also included the time and place for the hostage exchange—five days later, at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco!
Well, it's that unfortunate place again, full of disasters...
"By the way, is Black Widow so unimportant? They're actually waiting five days to hand her over?"
Karl pouted, clearly dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sluggish efficiency.
After all, keeping Black Widow here for one more day meant feeding her for one more day!
No, S.H.I.E.L.D. must also pay for the food.
Our Hyperspace Group absolutely does not support idlers!
"Karl, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
Pietro said with a look of despair and sadness.
Looking at the desolate and lonely back of the pure love warrior, Karl felt a little unbearable.
After all, the other party was his future brother-in-law.
While he was eating meat in big bites, he should at least let him have some soup, right?
So, after thinking for a moment, he pointed to Black Widow, who was expressionless like a puppet beside him, and asked with some uncertainty,
"Anyway, there are still five days until she's returned, so how about… letting you use her for a few more days?!!!"
(＾ ＾ ●)
Pietro: Good brother, you really understand me best!
...
...
Five days passed in a flash.
Hyperspace Group Headquarters.
Inside a luxurious training ground specially built for Karl.
In the ring, two strong figures were fiercely grappling.
Swish...!!!
Karl nimbly dodged Frank's frontal attack.
Then he feinted with his left hand, throwing a jab forward to attract Frank's attention.
His right hand, quick as lightning, threw a beautiful wide hook.
Bang...!!!
A look of surprise flashed in Frank's eyes.
While raising his arm to block the attack, a concealed low sweep disrupted Karl's center of gravity, causing him to fall to the ground.
Then he pounced forward, his left arm forming a V-shape to tighten around Karl's jaw, while his right hand was placed behind Karl's head, pushing forward with force, quickly forming a chokehold with his left hand.
Clap clap clap...!!!
Seeing that the opponent's rear-naked choke was already formed, Karl directly gave up struggling, slapped the ground with his hand, indicating surrender.
"Huff huff huff…"
Frank stood up tiredly, looked at the timer, which showed over 20 minutes, and immediately exclaimed in disbelief,
"Boss, your progress is too fast… No, it should be said that it's too abnormal."
"If this continues, I'm afraid in a few more days, I'll no longer be qualified to be your sparring partner."
This was definitely not Frank flattering Karl.
Rather, the latter was making astonishing progress every day.
Without using any "superpowers" at all, Karl went from being a novice fighter who could only last 30 seconds in the ring before being knocked down.
To now, the two of them have been fighting back and forth for over 20 minutes, and even Frank, this super soldier king, felt a faint sense of exhaustion.
Karl only took less than five days for such an astonishing transformation!
If Frank hadn't witnessed his growth firsthand,
he would probably suspect that the other party was intentionally playing dumb to catch him off guard.
At present, it seems that only "extraordinary talent" can be used to forcibly explain this.
But speaking of which… Boss, aren't you a Dimensional God?
Why do you still practice combat skills?
Frank stated: I've truly never seen such a diligent Dimensional God!
