I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 45 Natasha's existential crisis

How did she end up here?

If the other person were an ordinary person, Erin might have thought that this encounter was a coincidence or an accident.

But if the subject of this matter is a top agent like Natasha, Erin doesn't think it's really that simple.

Are you here to see me?

With a hint of doubt, Erin continued jogging in the park for another half hour.

To Erin's surprise, Natasha did not approach him or speak to him until he left.

·······

What Erin didn't know was...

While he was puzzled, Natasha, who was jogging with headphones on, was also full of doubts.

Although her encounter with Erin was brief, Natasha clearly caught a fleeting glimpse of surprise and wariness deep in Erin's eyes.

This is definitely not the look a teenager should have when he bumps into a beautiful woman.

It was that look in her eyes that made Natasha change her original plan to use her love of morning runs to get closer to Erin.

·······

Did I make a mistake?

With a hint of doubt, Erin took out a 25-cent coin left over from buying breakfast from his pocket after leaving the park.

I'm planning to use a coin to tell you if Natasha is after me.

Among divination methods, coin divination is known for its convenience and speed.

However, precisely because of this, it can only predict the general direction of a certain matter.

For example, a positive sign represents affirmation, while a negative sign represents negation.

But for Erin, who just wanted to find out if Natasha was after her, that was enough.

After imbuing the coin with a trace of spirituality, Erin tossed it into the air, entrusting it to fate.

·······

Just as Erin was looking at the coin that was spinning in mid-air, intending to reach out and catch it to find the answer he wanted,

A small, delicate hand, painted with bright red nail polish that made the palm appear even whiter, caught the coin in mid-air before Erin could react.

pat!

With a beaming smile, Natasha stepped past Erin from behind, opened her palm, and handed Erin the coin that had landed right in her hand.

"Your coin!"

Erin glanced at the coin facing up in Natasha's palm and sighed inwardly.

[Frontline view. Okay, no need to guess now, this woman is definitely after me, no doubt about it!]

"Thanks!"

After politely thanking her, Erin took his coin back from Natasha's hand and stood there quietly watching her.

When Natasha noticed that Erin was staring at her, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.

"Looking at a woman like that is not gentlemanly behavior!"

Erin looked at Natasha and said calmly, "I'm waiting?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for you to speak."

Natasha was taken aback by what she heard, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Her delicate features, combined with the curvaceous figure under her sportswear, added a touch of youthful vitality to Natasha.

"A very unique way of striking up a conversation."

"No." Erin shook her head. "I just don't want to waste any more words, Miss Natasha, or rather, Agent Natasha!"

Natasha's pupils constricted sharply when she heard Erin call out her name.

"You know me?"

Erin replied noncommittally, "I suppose so! I just happened to capture the scene of your death during a divination, which is how I learned some information about you."

Natasha asked with interest, "What was it like when I died?"

Judging from her enthusiastic expression, she seemed very curious about how she died.

Can······

Erin, however, saw no fear of death in her eyes whatsoever, the kind of fear that ordinary people have for death.

After a moment's thought, Erin said, "It was a very touching scene. Miss Natasha sacrificed herself to save countless people."

"Really?" Natasha shrugged and laughed. "I never imagined my death would be so noble."

Seeing this, Erin laughed as well: "What I foresaw is just one possibility among countless futures. It may not necessarily happen. After all, fate is ever-changing, and even the most powerful diviner cannot be sure that what he foresaw is the correct future."

"Compared to those things, I'm actually more interested in knowing Miss Natasha's purpose in coming here."

Natasha: "Really? You can do divination, right? Why don't you do it?"

Erin waved the coin in his hand. "In fact, I've already done the divination. But unfortunately, fate hasn't told me why you've come."

Natasha looked at the coin in Erin's hand, recalling Erin's sudden act of tossing the coin, and frowned slightly.

He was... he was doing divination.

Thinking that her act of taking the coin had interfered with Erin's divination, Natasha apologized, "I'm sorry, did I interfere with your divination?"

Although Natasha still doesn't quite believe in Erin's so-called divination, she has to admit that Erin does indeed possess some special abilities.

Otherwise, her own bureau chief wouldn't have asked her to take time out of her busy schedule to come and meet with Ailin.

But who knows?

On their very first meeting, Erin revealed his true colors, causing Natasha's original plans to fall apart.

Erin smiled but did not answer the question.

Natasha felt helpless and had a headache.

When Natasha first received the mission, she thought that with her charm and abilities, getting close to a teenage boy would be a piece of cake.

But to her surprise, Erin's performance far exceeded her expectations.

There was no other choice.

Natasha had to adjust her plans again, changing the way she originally intended to contact Erin.

"I'm here simply on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. to thank you. Thank you for helping us find Tony Stark!"

Has it been found yet?

A hint of surprise flashed across Erin's face.

It must be said that S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed very efficient in its work.

It hasn't been long, and they've already crossed halfway around the world, found Tony Stark, and it seems they've even rescued them from the terrorists.

Otherwise, Natasha wouldn't have spoken up like that.

"I appreciate your thanks. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

After nodding slightly to Natasha, Erin turned around, seemingly intending to leave just like that.

Natasha, who was left standing there after Erin turned around, had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

Some even began to question the meaning of life.

Has my charm failed me?
