Natasha looked at the screen. The female leader had taken off her coat and was only wearing lingerie underneath as she kissed a man. Natasha couldn’t help but take a serious, closer look.
Then, she couldn’t help nodding. “She is indeed a little old. Also, she has a freckle problem.”
Luke tapped his glasses, and the yellow lenses he was wearing projected another image. “I’m talking about the man.”
It was an official profile photo of the man. “Daniel DeCobray, a baron. This lady is his wife, and they have been married for half a year. She is a genuine baroness.”
“Is there a problem with this baron?” Natasha was curious. This sort of person sounded very interesting.
!!
Looking at his profile, she gave a light “oh” of surprise. “This baron is a scientist. He has a particle physics research lab on the outskirts of Paris. Hm, he even has a particle accelerator. He’s indeed rich.”
There was nothing else to say.
Most of Hydra’s bosses had a higher status in society, and the title of Baron suited this ancient organization.
A scientist baron with a high-level laboratory was too suspicious.
Natasha asked, “Should we check out his lab?”
Luke said, “Of course, but let’s not be hasty. Let’s listen to what the couple is saying.”
In the end, both of them were surprised.
The couple’s conversation was nothing more than a husband complaining to his wife about being left at home while she went out to play.
What was even more outrageous was that with just a little bit of coaxing from his wife, he obediently went off to do his own thing.
Natasha was suspicious. “Why does this guy… seem a lot like the idiots I run into on missions? He doesn’t seem very smart.”
Luke was also lost for words.
But their eyes soon lit up.
An Asian man in white suddenly appeared behind the baroness and held a katana to her throat.
The silver blade against her black lingerie made a perfect picture.
Natasha couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, Here we go.
Sure enough, the baroness fought back, and the Asian man in the white suit grabbed her hand, which was holding something sharp. Their faces were only five centimeters apart.
Breathing heavily, they looked at each other and didn’t move, but their arms shook as they each exerted more strength.
Just when Luke felt that it would be a shame if they didn’t kiss in this position, the Asian guy pushed the baroness away and said, “McCullen said I have to kill your husband when you’re distracting him.”
The baroness smiled. “It was McCullen who told me to marry him. Besides, after ‘distracting’ him, he becomes even more fired up, which is good for our plan, right?”
As she spoke, she walked to the side and opened the closet to look for clothes. “So what are you doing this time? Are you monitoring me?”
The Asian guy sheathed his sword and gave a half-smile. “If I really wanted to monitor you, why would I let you know? You’re my most outstanding student.”
With her back to him, the baroness smiled and undid the buckle behind her to reveal the curves of her back.
The Asian guy’s eyes flashed. “I’ll go with you to get the warheads back. We’ll set off at dawn.” He then turned around and left.
The baroness turned around and snorted as she watched him disappear.
In the warehouse, two spectators watched with keen interest.
“What a load of information.” Natasha clicked her tongue. “The baroness listened to McCullen and married the baron. Then, McCullen sent this Asian guy to monitor her. This female disciple also seems to be entangled with her master. Oh my god, is this a love drama?”
Luke glanced at her. “You can come up with your own script, but no need to tell me about it. Let’s get down to business.”
Natalie nodded regretfully, feeling sad for the entertainment gossip that had come and gone in one breath. “If it isn’t a coincidence, McCullen should be James McCullen, CEO of MARS Industries.”
Luke said, “That’s in line with our previous guess. A thief crying thief – the CEO leaks the information and gets Cobra to steal the ‘warheads.’ He also continues to get funding and support from NATO.”
Natasha pulled up a screen and looked at it. “A week ago, this CEO participated in a secret meeting at the NATO weapons command center. He hasn’t shown his face since. He deals with things remotely via MARS Industries’ own satellites, and it’s impossible to determine his location.”
Luke nodded in agreement. “He’s very cautious – smells a little like a villain boss.”
Speechless for a moment, Natasha could only ask, “What should we do first?”
Luke rubbed his chin and looked thoughtfully at the information on the screen. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Didn’t the baroness and the Asian guy say that they’re going to steal the warheads tomorrow? Let’s just follow them.”
Natasha: … So you haven’t forgotten your plan to rob the robbers?
…
The next night, a fiery battle broke out at a secret military base in the desert.
Luke and Natasha watched the whole thing.
The Baroness and the Asian guy carried out a near-perfect infiltration as they snuck into the base with a group of metal soldiers.
The reason it was near perfect was that they were discovered halfway after obtaining the warheads.
The two parties fought a huge battle in the secret base. In the end, the Baroness and the Asian guy were the last ones left. The two of them got on a flier and escaped with the box which contained the warheads.
Holding the box in one hand and gripping her master’s thigh with the other, the Baroness demonstrated how strong she was after years of bitter training.
Natasha, however, didn’t pay much attention to her. She frowned as she looked at the soldiers who had been taken down. “These metal soldiers… don’t seem too hard to make?”
Luke confirmed it. “At the very least, they’re several times worse than Tony’s big toys. In the last few years, MARS Industries obtained billions of euros in supplies and funding from the European Union in the name of routing superheroes and aliens – it won’t be hard to build 200 to 300 of these soldiers.”
Natasha’s eyes flashed as she wondered if the Avengers and New SHIELD could come up with a bunch of soldiers like these.
As long as dozens of metal soldiers charged forward to bear the brunt of attacks, it would become significantly safer for official members.
The tycoon and Phil weren’t short of money.
There were even more bad guys who could be cannon fodder. The only thing that was lacking was the technology to control the metal soldiers.
Luke glanced at her and said, “Don’t think too much about the future. Right now, we have to keep an eye on them and see what they’re going to do.”
