American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 105 Natasha's Visit

Because the Osborne Group is a publicly listed company, changes in leadership require public announcements. Xiao Xian's brief tenure as the leader of the Osborne Group quickly went viral online, attracting a lot of attention.

The announcement issued by the Osborne Group was to demonstrate the group's high regard for Xiao Xian, hence the appointment of Xiao Xian as Chairman and President of the Osborne Group.

The Osborne Group's actions have puzzled outsiders, but most people familiar with Harry feel that it is both unexpected and reasonable, after all, Harry has long been under the influence of drugs and his mind is not normal.

Anyway, the group's affairs are handled by professional managers. Although Harry is a spendthrift and a spendthrift, as long as he doesn't meddle in the company's affairs, he can never finish building up the legacy left by Norman Osborn in his lifetime. On the contrary, he will most likely build up more and more.

"Is Harry crazy?! He gave up his positions as chairman and CEO to let others have their way with him!"

Tony was so angry when he saw the news that he threw his phone. Assassinating a superhero from an Osborn subsidiary is not the same as assassinating the former chairman and president of the Osborn Group. With Harry doing this, if Tony sends someone to assassinate Xiao Xian, it will be breaking the rules.

Assassinating a superhero is not a big deal, but randomly assassinating an executive of the Osborn Corporation, even a former executive, will inevitably provoke a full-scale confrontation between the Osborn Corporation and Stark Corporation. Stark Corporation is currently entangled in a battle with Wayne Corporation, and if the Osborn Corporation is also involved, Stark Corporation will definitely suffer a great loss.

"Cancel the assassination plan against Xiao Xian." Tony sighed and ordered Jarvis.

"Yes, Master. The visitors from S.H.I.E.L.D. have been waiting outside for quite some time. They seem to have important business to discuss. Shall we meet with them?"

"Is that Black Widow?" Tony asked, his eyes lighting up. Black Widow is a top agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a teammate of the Avengers. She is said to have received special training in this area, and Tony has been craving her for a long time.

"No, it's Agent Hawkeye Patton," Jarvis replied.

"Barton... Oh well, let him in." Tony scoffed, deciding to give his nominal teammate some face. If the old man were still around, the female agent from S.H.I.E.L.D. would be doing whatever she wanted.

Meanwhile, at Harry's house, they also welcomed a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, none other than the Black Widow that Tony had been longing for.

The reason S.H.I.E.L.D. sent Black Widow to Harry's side instead of Tony's is simple: although Tony is a womanizer, he is irresponsible to everyone except Pepper Potts, and he would never compromise his interests for a woman. Harry, on the other hand, still has a bit of a naive and innocent style, judging from the Mary Jane incident. Sending a beautiful woman might be able to secure more benefits for them.

"Honey, are you done? A female agent from S.H.I.E.L.D. is here to see me." Harry spoke into the intercom at the bedroom door. He was being very chaste these days; he wouldn't go to see the beautiful agent alone without Mary Jane's company.

"Just started. In about half an hour." After a while, Mary Jane's voice came from the other end of the microphone.

Forty minutes later, Xiao Xian opened the door with Mary Jane, whose clothes were still somewhat disheveled, and the White Queen. He glanced at Harry outside the door, whose dark circles were obvious and whose steps seemed unsteady, and paused for a moment before asking the White Queen...

"What happened to him? Did he overdose his drugs and kowtow? What did you feed him? Be careful he doesn't die from the kowtow and trigger an investigation."

"It's not about drugs, he's just rewarding himself too much. Do you think everyone is like you, needing no rest at all?" The White Queen rolled her eyes.

"Yesterday when you were taking a shower with Mary Jane, and today when you came back from the board meeting and dragged Mary Jane back to the room, guess what he was doing? It's a good thing this house is soundproof, otherwise he'd be even more nervous now."

"Damn~ I feel like this is a reward for him. He's probably having a blast today." Xiao Xian looked at the unsteady Harry and said, "No, we can't do this. We'll have Mary Jane put the locks on him later."

"I think it's fine. He's genuinely happy. The struggle and regret you anticipated only briefly crossed his mind during the cooling-off period," the White Queen nodded. "At other times, he just wants you to go even further."

"." Xiao Xian's lips twitched. This was really quite perverted.

"Hello, Agent Natasha, nice to meet you, I'm Harry Osborn."

On the surface, Harry is the head of the Osborn Group, and he was the first to shake hands with Natasha.

"Hello~ I'm Natasha."

Natasha smiled and shook hands with Harry, but her attention was completely focused on Xiao Xian.

Natasha wore a black bodysuit that not only perfectly hugged her body lines, showcasing her enviable curves, but also incorporated reinforced protective designs in key areas, making it both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

"Hello, I am Xiao Xian."

Xiao Xian then shook hands with Natasha. This time, Natasha didn't just touch him and let go; instead, she held Xiao Xian's hand tightly, her middle finger even scratching at his palm.

"Hello, I'm Natasha. I've heard about you before. Barbara was right, you're much more handsome in person than on TV," Black Widow said to Xiao Xian with a charming smile.

"Barbara mentioned me to you?" Xiao Xian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, Barbara told me a lot." Black Widow winked at Xiao Xian, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Oh, I see~" Xiao Xian was quite surprised to hear this. As far as Xiao Xian knew, Barbara and Hawkeye weren't divorced yet, and she needed the persona of Hawkeye's wife and the attention she needed. Wasn't Barbara's mouth big enough to be bothering her?

"Bitch~" Seeing that Natasha and Xiao Xian's handshake lasted for an unusually long time and that she was deliberately showing a flirtatious smile, the White Queen and Mary Jane cursed inwardly at the same time.

With Xiao Xian's charm, he certainly doesn't lack female admirers, but Natasha, with her black bodysuit, big waves, and long legs, is a very threatening woman for the two of them.

After all, Xiao Xian is a one-man show, and he only has so much time. If he spends more time with Black Widow, he will naturally have less time to spend with others.

"Natasha." After a reluctant handshake with Xiao Xian, Natasha greeted Mary Jane simply. The two not only touched briefly but also parted ways almost immediately, and there was a hint of tension in the air.

With just one glance, as a seasoned agent, Natasha was certain that Mary Jane was definitely interested in Xiao Xian, and judging from their physical proximity, the two might have even had a relationship.

Natasha, also a red-haired beauty who understands the importance of niche, immediately recognized Mary Jane as a formidable rival.

"Mary Jane." Mary Jane's introduction was equally simple; anyone in Hollywood knows the importance of niche.

Natasha glanced at Harry, who seemed completely unaware of the unusual relationship between the two and had even invited Xiao Xian to his home, but she still didn't voice her suspicions. Firstly, she had no evidence, and secondly, she didn't want to ruin Xiao Xian's plans and leave a bad impression on him.

"I'm here today on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. to seek assistance from the Osborn Corporation," Natasha said, getting straight to the point.
