Chapter 77

Bai Xiaofei didn't walk far before he saw the small warehouse that Natasha had mentioned.

The small warehouse looked like it hadn't been used for a long time. It appeared somewhat dilapidated, with dust and spider webs covering the doors and windows. Fortunately, the materials used were of good quality, so there were no cracks, and there was no need to worry about it collapsing.

A sleek black sports car was parked quietly to one side.

Bai Xiaofei casually touched it: "The feel is pretty good. S.H.I.E.L.D. is really rich. Whether it's a business trip or a flight, they do it with style!"

Then, he pushed open the door and walked into the small warehouse.

Inside the warehouse.

The sexy and fiery Natasha stood with her arms crossed.

Seeing Bai Xiaofei walk in, a hint of surprise flashed in Natasha's eyes, and she said, "I didn't expect you to actually dare to come?"

"Beauty, you said it yourself, if you're a man, you have to come!"

Bai Xiaofei shrugged, his face showing the usual calm and smile, and said, "I'm a man, so I came. Besides... why wouldn't I dare to come? Just because you're the Black Widow? Yes, you're very skilled, and I've heard many legends about you, but... my skills aren't bad either. If we really fight, it's hard to say who will dominate!"

"Looks like you're very confident in your abilities!"

The Black Widow's eyes became sharp, and she crouched slightly, assuming a fighting stance, and said, "How about we make a bet? If you win, I'll turn around and leave, no longer tracking or investigating you. If you lose, you tell me your secret. What do you say?"

"I'm okay with that!"

Bai Xiaofei looked indifferent and smiled, saying, "Ladies first, you go first!"

"Alright, be careful then!"

Natasha didn't hesitate to be polite to Bai Xiaofei. She kindly warned him, then her eyes changed, and she pounced at him like a cheetah.

"Your speed isn't bad!"

Seeing the Black Widow's move, Bai Xiaofei's eyes flashed with keenness. While dodging, he still made a comment.

The Black Widow, a high-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

It is said that she once received a variant serum similar to that of a super soldier, greatly enhancing her physical abilities. Whether it's speed, reaction, defense, sensory effects, aging rate, or self-healing ability, she surpasses the limits of ordinary people by about five times, making her a "superhuman" level, just like Captain America.

In addition, the Black Widow is proficient in various martial arts styles, including karate, ninjutsu, Muay Thai, jujitsu, aikido, and more, making her combat ability extremely high!

In the Avengers, the Black Widow's performance was average, and she even almost fell into danger several times. This wasn't because she wasn't skilled, but because the enemies were too powerful—aliens, robots, and often outnumbered. The fact that she could fight to the end already demonstrated her considerable strength.

Moreover, the Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man were too overpowered, completely "non-human," overshadowing the Black Widow and Hawkeye.

If it weren't for Captain America's symbolic significance and his Bug-level shield, Steve's performance wouldn't have been much better either!

The reason Bai Xiaofei came to the small warehouse was to test the Black Widow's strength. First, to confirm her real abilities and see how much they differed from the movie data; second, Bai Xiaofei was itching for a fight. It was rare to find a beautiful woman willing to be a sparring partner, and it would be a waste not to accept!

As for the bet, it was just a joke.

S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't run by Natasha. Even if she lost, S.H.I.E.L.D. would still monitor and investigate as usual, and wouldn't change its stance because of a small bet.

Similarly, Bai Xiaofei wasn't a good guy.

Even if the Black Widow won, Bai Xiaofei wouldn't foolishly reveal his secrets to her.

Moreover, she couldn't possibly win against Bai Xiaofei. Once his telekinetic ability was activated, whether it was the White Widow or the Black Widow, they would all have to admit defeat! If she lost, Bai Xiaofei wouldn't let her go easily. He had been patient with S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time, and now that a well-known figure had been sent to him, he wouldn't let the opportunity pass without making good use of it!

Crack!

Bang!

Clang!

Both Bai Xiaofei and the Black Widow were "superhuman" level beings. Even without weapons, their punches and kicks had immense power!

The two exchanged blows, enjoying the fight, but almost demolished the small warehouse.

The already messy warehouse became even more chaotic, with broken wood, chair legs, broken bowls, and books scattered everywhere. The ground was covered with cracks and small pits, leaving almost no place to stand.

After a fierce battle, Bai Xiaofei had to admit that the Black Widow was indeed very strong!

Her martial arts skills were at the peak of perfection, not inferior to Bai Xiaofei's. With decades of training in various martial arts, she had integrated them into her own style and techniques, using various ingenious moves that were hard to defend against, making her combat ability extremely fierce!

If Bai Xiaofei hadn't broken through to the Dark Force realm, and if they had equal physical attributes without using other abilities, Bai Xiaofei wouldn't have been a match for the Black Widow.

In terms of experience, the variety and flexibility of techniques, the Black Widow far surpassed Bai Xiaofei!

However, Bai Xiaofei didn't lose heart.

After all, the Black Widow was almost 70 years old, with training time more than twice Bai Xiaofei's age. It was reasonable that she was stronger.

Realizing his shortcomings and understanding the Black Widow's strength, Bai Xiaofei lost interest in continuing the fight. He reached out with his right hand, accurately grabbing the Black Widow's attacking fist, then pulled hard, dragging Natasha into his arms. Immediately, he activated his telekinetic ability, completely immobilizing her.

Bai Xiaofei leaned down, whispering in the Black Widow's ear with a smile, "Beauty, you lost!"

On the surface, Natasha showed no reaction, but she was actually very shocked by Bai Xiaofei's strength and how easily he subdued her. Especially the techniques he used, though seemingly simple, each move contained different levels of power, making it difficult for Natasha to counter. "Is this the legendary ancient Chinese martial arts? Indeed, they are powerful!"

Natasha tried to struggle a few times but found that she couldn't even move, let alone counterattack. She could only speak. Seeing Bai Xiaofei walk in front of her, she was even more shocked: "What's going on? You didn't touch me, but I can't move. Is it... superpowers?"

Bai Xiaofei generously admitted, "Yes, it's superpowers!"

After saying that, Bai Xiaofei proudly demonstrated the power and magic of his telekinetic ability, mercilessly destroying the items in the small warehouse!

After witnessing the terrifying power of Bai Xiaofei's telekinetic ability, Natasha wisely gave up struggling.

She sighed helplessly and said, "I never expected your strength to be so great, and you even have superpowers! It seems that in the previous fight, you didn't use your full strength and were just toying with me!"

Bai Xiaofei feigned surprise, "Oh, you noticed!"

Natasha rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Bai Xiaofei, you won. According to the bet, I won't track or investigate you anymore. Let me go!"

Bai Xiaofei pursed his lips and said with a wicked smile, "Natasha, I'm sorry, but I can't let you go now!"

With that, he struck her neck hard.

"You..."

Natasha felt a jolt in her brain, let out a muffled groan, and unwillingly fainted.

...

In the evening.

Inside the Pym Technologies building.

Hope looked at her watch; it was time to leave. After tidying up her files, she left the office and went to the parking lot to drive home.

Bai Xiaofei sat in the sleek black sports car that originally belonged to Natasha, watching as Hope started her car.

Then, he followed her from a distance, tailing her all the way.

When Hope drove to a secluded and uninhabited area, Bai Xiaofei suddenly accelerated, overtaking her car, and then sharply pulled the handbrake, causing the sports car to drift sideways, blocking her path.

Screech!

Hope was startled and slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a collision.

Then, the agitated Hope angrily jumped out of her car, ran to the sports car, and shouted at Bai Xiaofei, who was getting out, "Hey, are you crazy?! If I hadn't braked in time, there would have been a car accident!"

In response, she was met with a Desert Eagle.

Seeing the cold gun barrel pointed at her, Hope immediately realized something was wrong: This was a trap, and the person was targeting her!

She immediately tried to run.

But she was horrified to find that she couldn't run!

Not only could she not run, she couldn't even move or speak, as Bai Xiaofei had used his telekinetic ability to immobilize her.

Seeing Hope's frightened face, Bai Xiaofei gently patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Miss Hope, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions; I just need your help. If you cooperate with me, I won't harm you!"

As he spoke, Bai Xiaofei released the restriction on Hope's mouth.

Realizing she could speak, Hope didn't scream or call for help, knowing it would be useless. She looked at Bai Xiaofei in horror and stammered, "W-What do you want me to do?"

Bai Xiaofei smiled and said, "It's simple! I need you to help me get your father's Pym Particles and the particle formula!"

Upon hearing this, Hope's face changed drastically, and she immediately refused, "You must be dreaming! The Pym Particles and the formula are my father's life's work. You can't even think about them!"

Bai Xiaofei had anticipated that Hope wouldn't easily agree. He wasn't angry but smiled and said, "Miss Hope, whether you help me or not isn't up to you! Dr. Pym loves you dearly and feels guilty about your mother's death. I believe, for your safety, Dr. Pym will hand them over to me!"

"Damn! You..."

Bai Xiaofei sealed Hope's mouth again and, with a thought, made her phone fly into his hand.

At this time, smartphones weren't popular yet, and most people used older models like Samsung and Nokia, which didn't require fingerprint locks.

Thus, Bai Xiaofei easily found Dr. Pym's contact information on the phone and called him.

The call was quickly answered.

Dr. Pym's deep, aged voice came through: "Hello, Hope? What's up?"

"Dr. Pym, your daughter is in my hands..."

Bai Xiaofei had fully assumed the role of a kidnapper. As soon as the call was answered, he got straight to the point, clearly stating his intentions: "If you don't want her to get hurt, don't call the police and prepare the Pym Particles and related formulas and technical data. I'll come to get them later. Otherwise... I don't mind letting her experience a bit of rice grinding!"

After saying that, he hung up without waiting for Dr. Pym's reaction.
