Chapter 80

Seeing the energy value of 1.5 million credited to his account, Bai Xiaofei instantly beamed with joy, his mouth almost watering with excitement.

If he added the 55,000 energy points he would receive after completing this time-space mission, that would be 1.555 million!

He had completed the mission excellently, so there might even be a bonus!

This was like turning from a nobody to a high-flying rich guy!

Bai Xiaofei was extremely excited!

But just then, the time-space shuttle poured cold water on him: "Host, don't forget the profit-sharing ratio!"

To travel to the world of "Iron Man 1," 100,000 energy points were required. At the time, Bai Xiaofei didn't have enough energy points, so he chose to share the cost with the time-space shuttle at a ratio of 1:4. According to the rules, when the time-space training ended, Bai Xiaofei's earnings would be divided according to the 1:4 ratio!

In other words, out of the 1.5 million energy points, Bai Xiaofei would only get one-fifth, which was about 300,000.

Thinking about this, Bai Xiaofei was so angry he gritted his teeth!

"Damn black-hearted merchant, swindler!"

"Damn it! Can't you let me be happy for a bit longer?!"

"Host, whether you hear it early or late, the result is the same. You're just fooling yourself, and it's completely useless!" the time-space shuttle replied coldly.

"..."

Bai Xiaofei mentally flipped the time-space shuttle the middle finger and wisely chose to ignore it. If he argued with it, it would drive him crazy! Bai Xiaofei was too lazy to deal with it!

With nothing to do, Bai Xiaofei turned on the hotel TV and started browsing the latest news. At this moment, the Black Widow, whom Bai Xiaofei had knocked out and captured, groaned and slowly regained consciousness.

Seeing Bai Xiaofei comfortably lying on the bed, leisurely watching TV, while she was tied to the sofa, Natasha immediately became furious: "Bai Xiaofei, you bastard! You're cheating!"

She was angry because during the bet earlier, Bai Xiaofei won but didn't let her go.

"How am I cheating?"

Bai Xiaofei casually picked up a large apple, took a bite, and said while eating, "The bet only said that if you lost, you would leave. It didn't say I couldn't capture you, did it?"

Natasha: "..."

Bai Xiaofei's words left Natasha speechless.

She never expected Bai Xiaofei to play a language trap on her. Even more frustrating was that, as a top agent with decades of experience, she didn't notice and fell for it!

She truly regretted her decision!

How could she have impulsively appeared and approached the target?

Now, she had become a prisoner of the target, unable to escape, and her reputation as the Black Widow was ruined!

Natasha glared at Bai Xiaofei, gritting her teeth, "Bai Xiaofei, you'd better let me go, or SHIELD won't let you off. You may be strong and have superpowers, but you're just one person..."

"Enough!"

Bai Xiaofei coldly interrupted Natasha.

Then, he looked at the Black Widow with displeasure and said coldly, "I hate being threatened! I used to have a good impression of SHIELD, but you guys came to threaten me, forcing me to leave Tony. Back then, I had to endure it due to my lack of power, but now..."

"No one can threaten me!"

"Not you!"

"Not Hawkeye!"

"Not SHIELD!"

"Not Hydra!"

"Not even the World Security Council!"

"In our world, there's a saying: 'If you don't seek death, you won't die!' If any fool dares to come and order me around, I won't hesitate to send him to the afterlife!"

Bai Xiaofei's words were so domineering that it seemed he didn't care about the entire world, acting as if there were no laws.

Others might think Bai Xiaofei was just boasting.

But Natasha was different!

She was a top agent with skills, strength, and insight that surpassed 99.9% of the world's population.

She knew very well that Bai Xiaofei wasn't exaggerating; he had the power!

This was absolutely not an exaggeration!

A person with formidable abilities and ambitious goals, if they truly wanted to harm the world, the impact would be unimaginable!

In the movie "Captain America 3," a single psychologist could stir up the mighty Avengers, causing them to fight among themselves and suffer heavy losses. As a穿越者 (穿越者 means "time traveler" in this context), Bai Xiaofei knew the plot and had a significant advantage, not to mention his own formidable strength, giving him a solid foundation for his arrogance!

Natasha didn't know Bai Xiaofei was a time traveler, but from his words, she could deduce a lot. For instance, the existence of herself, Hawkeye, and SHIELD was a highly confidential matter, yet Bai Xiaofei knew it well! Moreover, he mentioned Hydra and the World Security Council!

The World Security Council was one thing, but how did he know about Hydra?

Hadn't it been long extinct?

Could it be...

Natasha suddenly thought of a possibility, and her already angry face became even darker.

However, what shocked Natasha the most was Bai Xiaofei himself!

What was his true identity?

Not only was he incredibly powerful and incomprehensible, but he also possessed numerous secrets and intelligence that even SHIELD couldn't match, which was simply unbelievable!

Many thoughts raced through her mind, but they all flashed by in an instant.

Suppressing her doubts, Natasha looked at Bai Xiaofei with a complex expression and said, "So... what do you plan to do with me? Kill me? Or use me to get something from SHIELD?"

Bai Xiaofei turned to look at Natasha, who was tied up and slumped on the sofa, and chuckled, "Indeed, you're a top agent. You figured out my intentions so easily. Impressive! I need to work on my acting and hiding my thoughts, or you'll eventually uncover all my secrets!"

Natasha rolled her eyes in exasperation, "That's because you have a record, right? You dared to extort SHIELD, and I've never seen anyone as bold as you. Now that I, a top agent, have been captured by you, it's no surprise you'll try to extort a lot from us!"

Bai Xiaofei didn't deny it and chuckled, "Natasha, I'm curious. If I use you to exchange for something very important to SHIELD, how do you think Nick Fury will choose? Will he pay a huge price to save one of his agents, or will he prioritize the treasure and ignore your safety? The outcome is really intriguing!"

Learning that she had become a bargaining chip in Bai Xiaofei's hands, Natasha, who was already upset, became even more depressed.

Who was Nick Fury?

Others might not know, but Natasha knew him very well. He was a man who would sacrifice everything for the country's interests!

Natasha believed that if Nick Fury learned she was captured, he would guess what Bai Xiaofei would do next. For SHIELD's benefit, Nick Fury wouldn't back down easily. The best way to avoid being blackmailed would be to rescue her!

SHIELD had countless agents, but the top-tier ones were few and far between.

With a top agent like Natasha defeated, ordinary agents wouldn't stand a chance. At this time, SHIELD wasn't as powerful as it would be in the future. The only one capable of rescuing Natasha was the top agent, Hawkeye—Clint Barton.

In the past, Natasha would have been confident that Hawkeye could save her!

But now...

Facing a freak like Bai Xiaofei, Natasha was unsure!

She even thought that sending Hawkeye would be like sending a meal to Bai Xiaofei, increasing his bargaining chips. It wasn't that she didn't trust Barton, but Bai Xiaofei was too monstrous! Not only was he incredibly strong, but he also had incomprehensible superpowers. Even if she and Hawkeye combined, they might not be a match for him!

Thinking about Barton being captured, Natasha felt terrible.

Meanwhile.

Hawkeye—Clint Barton, whom Natasha considered a meal, was flying a SHIELD aircraft toward Los Angeles.
