Chapter 216 Response
"Lance, are you alone?"

Barbara looked at the familiar face in front of her and frowned slightly.

That's right, the person sent by SHIELD to pick him up was Agent Lance Hunter, the decent boyfriend listed in her profile.

"What, you're unhappy?"

Lance shrugged.

"Everyone is busy, I happened to be free and I'm the closest, so I came."

Very powerful truth.

Barbara was speechless.

However, this is fine.

She and Lance had been on missions together before, and they worked well together and had a great understanding of each other.

It was because of that experience that they slowly came together.

Of course, there is no point in saying this now.

The most urgent task is to evacuate from here as soon as possible.

But before taking any formal action, she has to deal with the hot potato in her hand first.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Vercetti. I was in a hurry just now. I'm really sorry."

Barbara is not one of those brainless naive people.

She was well aware of the power of a big capitalist.

Due to the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tommy might not dare to take a direct approach.

But if she really wants to find fault with her, she will definitely get into trouble.

The most important thing is that Tommy knows everything about her and almost everything about her.

This is very scary.

Of course, in addition to speaking softly, there is a simpler and more direct approach.

That is to kill Tommy directly.

But Barbara didn't dare to do that.

First of all, she had no right to do that.

Secondly, she couldn't bear the consequences of doing so.

As far as she knew, in addition to being a philanthropic businessman, Tommy was also one of the biggest gang leaders in New York City, with the title of "Leader".

In terms of chassis and strength, Tommy is even better than the previous Kingpin.

Because of this, all the major gangs are very disciplined and conflicts between them are decreasing.

Now that gangs have stopped causing trouble, the crime rate in New York City has naturally dropped a lot.

Even the commissioner of the New York Police Department was commended.

Mayor Bloomberg's approval rating also rose as a result.

The people even shouted slogans asking Nulong Boge to remain in office for another three years!
Under such circumstances, if she still dares to kill Tommy, more than one force will be involved.

First, the underground world will be in chaos.

The Vercetti gang will surely be driven crazy by the excitement.

Other gangs will immediately launch gang wars in order to compete for the leadership position.

Social order will also be disrupted.

By then, not only will the forces behind the scenes be dissatisfied with her, but the officials in the open will also dislike her.

Even though SHIELD has always been powerful, it may not offend so many people for her.

Taking this into consideration, Barbara decided to say a few soft words to ease the relationship between her and Tommy.

At least we can't be enemies.

She didn't know whether this would work, but it was better than doing nothing.

I have to say that Barbara's consideration was very thoughtful and took into account the reactions from all aspects.

Her only mistake throughout the whole process was that she underestimated Tommy's strength.

And this is precisely the important reason why the situation has changed.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Vercetti. I had no choice just now. You can go now."

"Leave? Why should I leave?"

Tommy smiled.

He had put a lot of effort into rehearsing this drama, and even served as a hostage for it. Seeing that he was about to achieve his goal, how could he leave easily?

"First you leaked important company secrets, and then you kidnapped me. Barbara, you've done so many wrong things, and now you want to just walk away. How can that be so easy?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Before Barbara could say anything, Lance couldn't help it.

He was a little uncomfortable when Barbara apologized just now.

When do they, SHIELD, ever need to explain their work to others?
It’s good enough that you don’t do anything dirty!

Especially after knowing Tommy's multiple identities, he disliked Tommy even more.

"Lance!"

Barbara grabbed her boyfriend next to her, hoping he would stop talking nonsense.

But it would have been better if she didn't stop him. As soon as she reached out her hand, Lance became even more excited.

Some people are just like this, always like to act like a hero in front of their lovers.

But Lance just has this kind of personality.

He loved Barbara madly and would not tolerate any loss to his beloved woman.

Seeing Tommy's unyielding attitude, he immediately became furious and burst into sarcastic words.

"Why are you still hanging around here? Could it be that Mr. Vercetti can't drive himself? Do you want me to call a driver for you?"

"Come on, Lance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Barbara felt something was wrong.

Originally, they could just leave now and nothing would happen.

But Lance still wants to show off his eloquence.

Even if they succeed in irritating Tommy, what good will it do them?

However, she was obviously overthinking it.

Tommy is not so petty that he would get mad because of a few sarcastic words.

Would the giant elephants on the African savannah care about the ants living in the burrows?

The answer is of course no.

But if the ant turned into a fly and was buzzing in front of your eyes, that would be a different story.

"Lance Hunter, right?"

Tommy turned his head and looked at Lance for the first time, then spoke calmly.

"Since you're so indignant for Barbara, why don't we have a fight? As long as your punch can hurt me, everything will be even. But if you fail..."

"Don't worry, there won't be any ifs."

Before Tommy could finish his words, Lance had taken off his coat and was ready for battle.

Barbara wanted to stop this meaningless fight, but Lance had already drawn the arrow and had to shoot.

As Lance's lover, she knew her boyfriend's temper well.

Once a decision is made, it is difficult to change it easily.

Therefore, she had no choice but to watch the two men fighting each other, secretly groaning in her heart.

"Now that you are ready, let's get started."

Tommy moved his wrist slightly, still with a faint smile on his face.

He looked very relaxed and didn't even take off his suit jacket.

Lance, who was standing opposite him, had a serious expression on his face.

He is a rough but meticulous person.

It should be said that people with muscular heads cannot be agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before the operation began, he briefly looked at Tommy's information and had a general understanding of Tommy's situation.

I know that the other party has good marksmanship and excellent fighting skills.

However, Lance didn't take Tommy too seriously.

No matter how good Tommy's fighting skills are, can they be better than him, a SHIELD agent?
It is also because of this that Lance is so confident and believes that he will win.

But soon, the scene that happened next completely changed his mind and made him regret it.
