The woman reached out and leaned on the car door, smiling at Su Zhan.
Su Zhan was slightly surprised, but quickly returned to normal, his calm expression even surprising the woman.
"That depends on whether the person talking to me is Natasha or Black Widow…" Su Zhan said with a smile, his gaze unreservedly appraising her.
As expected of her, both her figure and appearance were absolutely top-notch. While a romantic relationship with such a woman might not be ideal, a physical one would be excellent!
Natasha chuckled easily, "Alright, I guessed you'd know my identity. So, how do you want me to talk to you?"
"As a woman, purely as a woman. That might be best!"
"If this car wasn't stolen by you, perhaps I'd be very willing to talk to you purely as a woman. After all… you are quite charming!"
"Women are indeed realistic!" Su Zhan shrugged in disappointment.
Natasha's meaning was clear: it was simply because Su Zhan's identity and background were mysterious, she couldn't determine if he was good or bad, and he had even committed robbery. She couldn't ignore it, nor could she talk to him purely as a woman.
"I'm very curious about your background and Ability. To be able to absorb Extremis and still look perfectly fine is very surprising. Especially, someone with no background, who seems to have appeared out of thin air, that's even more astonishing. So, Mr. Su Zhan, no matter what my identity, I think we should have a good talk!" Natasha said seriously.
Su Zhan glanced at Skye's car, which seemed to have no intention of leaving for the moment, and nodded, "How could I refuse such an invitation from a beautiful woman? What's more… I've actually always wanted to meet you!"
"Meet me, why?" Natasha asked curiously.
Su Zhan looked at her and said, "No need to explain the reason."
"Indeed, all men are the same, not a single good one!" Natasha playfully rolled her eyes at him.
At a nearby bar, since it was daytime, there was hardly anyone inside. In a corner, Su Zhan and Natasha sat down.
"Actually, I was wondering who would come looking for me, but I didn't expect it to be you!" Su Zhan took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "I'm a man with no resistance to beautiful women, so feel free to ask whatever you want, I promise to answer you!"
"That would be my honor. So, Mr. Su Zhan, could you tell me your identity?" Natasha said with a charming smile.
"My name is Su Zhan, Chinese. The reason there's no information about my identity is because I didn't exist in this World before. I think… there are many people like that, and you should be very clear about it!"
"However, I now want to live the life I desire, so, while there was no information about me before, there will definitely be some in the future!"
Natasha nodded. She indeed knew many people who were 'without an identity' like this. It seemed likely that this Su Zhan was a special individual from China. As for saying there would be information in the future, it was a declaration of intent, meaning he had no ill will and no intention of hiding his identity.
"And your Ability? To be able to absorb Extremis, what kind of Ability is that? Extremis has always been very unstable, and if… people knew you could stabilize Extremis, I think you know the consequences." Natasha warned.
Su Zhan smiled, "So, are you going to say next that I'd best go to S.H.I.E.L.D. for protection?"
"I didn't mean that, but if you want to, S.H.I.E.L.D. welcomes you." Natasha said with a smile.
"For now, let's not, but in the future… perhaps there will be that possibility!" Su Zhan smiled and politely declined. "Actually, my Ability isn't that special, it's nothing big. What's more, as long as I don't do anything bad, it doesn't matter what kind of Ability I have, right? At least… I shouldn't be a threat to you all right now. And, you can also turn me into one of your own!"
"After all… your charm is quite great, maybe I'll agree!"
Looking at her ample bosom, Su Zhan said meaningfully.
"Alright, I always thought Chinese people were very reserved, but now it seems… that's not the case."
"Let's end it here for today. This is my phone number. I think… you'll have a need to use it. Whether it's for your personal needs… or other kinds of needs!" Su Zhan smiled and casually recited a number, then stood up to leave. Of course, he didn't forget to pay when he left.
Natasha frowned as she watched his retreating back.
"Identity and purpose unclear. Very knowledgeable about S.H.I.E.L.D. or rather, Super Heroes. Ability unknown: seems to possess the Ability to devour and stabilize. Currently, it's difficult to determine if he's good or bad. Recommend close observation!"
Natasha pressed her ear and whispered.
"Isn't he interested in you? Then it's your responsibility. Investigate his identity and purpose as much as possible. If necessary, you can take action!" A voice came through Natasha's earpiece.
Natasha frowned, thinking of Su Zhan's somewhat glib and cynical attitude. Investigating him would probably be very difficult…
Chapter 0004: 'Accidental Meeting' with Skye
Natasha didn't think this would be an easy task, but she wasn't averse to it. Undeniably, Su Zhan was very charming. She had met Chinese people before, but Su Zhan was definitely the most charming person she had ever met.
After leaving the bar, Su Zhan didn't go looking for Skye. Knowing that Natasha would definitely follow and investigate him, he didn't want to expose his purpose.
If Skye's identity were exposed because of him, and she ended up not joining S.H.I.E.L.D., wouldn't all his efforts be in vain? What's more, the Battle of New York had just ended, and Phil Coulson should not have 'resurrected' yet, nor would he be able to form a team, so he wasn't in a hurry. After all, Natasha couldn't follow him forever, could she?
It wouldn't be bad to take advantage of this time to enjoy life.
So, for the next period, Su Zhan was like someone on vacation, very relaxed. He had a blast, but Natasha was frustrated. She followed him for over a week, but found nothing. Su Zhan hadn't used his Ability, nor had he contacted anyone. He was completely like a tourist. Although she suspected Su Zhan was deliberately trying to mislead her, she didn't have time to waste on him.
After several requests, she reluctantly had to temporarily give up on investigating Su Zhan.
As soon as Natasha left, Su Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had a lot of fun during this time, he didn't come to this World to play, at least… it wasn't time for him to enjoy himself yet.
With Natasha gone, Su Zhan prepared to approach Skye.
Even though Su Zhan had been stopping and going like he was on vacation these past few days, he had actually been closely following Skye. There was even a brief encounter and conversation in a coffee shop once, but it didn't go deeper, as Natasha was still around at the time.
Night quietly descended.
Watching Skye walk out of a restaurant, Su Zhan forcefully stepped on the accelerator, pretending to lose control and directly crashed into Skye's car.
"Oh, no…"
As soon as Skye came out, she saw her car had been severely hit, the rear even dented inwards.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Are you the owner? I'll pay for the repairs."
Su Zhan got out of the car and apologized to Skye.
Skye was initially a bit angry, after all, her car, which could even be called her 'home', had been hit. But when she saw the car owner, she suddenly said in surprise, "It's you."
Su Zhan feigned confusion, "You know me?"
"Yes, a few days ago at the coffee shop, I accidentally spilled your coffee, remember? My name is Skye!" Skye explained.
Su Zhan pretended to realize and said happily, "I remember now, I didn't expect it to be you, what a coincidence, my name is Su Zhan."
"It is a coincidence, I spilled your coffee, and then you crashed my car? I hope… you're not that petty, are you?" Skye teased.
Su Zhan shrugged, "It was just an accident."
"At least you lost a lot more than I did." Skye looked at Su Zhan's sports car; it was definitely more severely damaged than her own car. What's more, repairing such a sports car was expensive, and the repair cost would probably be more valuable than her own car.
"Do you know where there's a repair shop nearby? Let's go fix it first."
"Let me check."
Skye took out her phone and fiddled with it for a moment, then shook her head, "Unfortunately, there's no repair shop nearby, but I've already contacted a repair shop, and someone should be here to handle it soon."
"I'm really sorry." Su Zhan said apologetically.
