Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 8.007. Natasha Romanov's Test

"Clang clang clang!"

"Please come in."

Nick composed himself, sat in his swivel chair with his back to the men who entered through the door, and tried to maintain an air of mystery in front of his subordinates, if he knew what they were saying about him.

Every leader has confidants. Aside from high-ranking agents, some ordinary agents are very easy to bribe, and the returns can be very high if used in certain special circumstances.

Clearly, that was the person who came. Nick didn't directly order anyone to deal with Xu Zhenqing. Instead, he chatted about everyday things and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that he had been punished. He even said, "The fact that he can now appear in court so brazenly and sue us shows our freedom and democracy, doesn't it?"

His subordinates understood, but he didn't intend to do it himself. Instead, he found an outsourcing organization to put up an assassination order for him.

Under his superior's guidance, this agent successfully rose through the ranks after accumulating enough "merits".

……

The lawyer was overjoyed. After completing this case, his reputation would soar, and his salary would surely be promoted.

After successfully appealing in court and filling out the required information, Xu took out several insurance policies on the advice of his lawyer. His lawyers would help resolve everything, and Xu, of course, would find a place to treat himself.

At the strong suggestion of a female lawyer, Xu Zhenqing ate at a nearby restaurant.

This restaurant serves cuisines from various countries. The waitress had obviously just seen the news and was discussing Xu Zhenqing's incident. However, the degree of face blindness that Westerners have towards Asians meant that she couldn't recognize Xu Zhenqing, and Xu was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Having just experienced a terrorist attack, and with two bodyguards protecting him, Xu Zhenqing forced himself to endure the discomfort and, following local custom, ordered a medium-rare steak; any more well-done and most people wouldn't be able to bite it.

Xu Zhenqing still attracted some attention because of his East Asian features. A woman with a stunning figure, graceful posture, and beautiful face walked over.

She approached with a glass of red wine, a gentle smile on her face, and looked at Xu Zhenqing with affection in her eyes. She asked him in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, "Handsome man, my name is Natasha Romanov. What country are you from?"

"Chinese." Xu Zhenqing frowned as he answered. From his perspective, this young woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, had nearly a hundred marks on her soul, which meant that she was an old witch.

Xu Zhenqing pondered for a moment and then suddenly realized, Natasha Romanov, it was her.

This woman, whose original name was Natalia Arianovna Romanova, and also known as Natalia Romanova, was born in 1928 in Stalingrad, Soviet Union.

A quick calculation reveals that the other party is indeed a genuine woman nearing one hundred years old.

Trained as a spy by Soviet agents from a young age, her body underwent significant aging reduction and immune system enhancement by the Soviet government. Combined with years of physical and mental training, she has become a deadly "Black Widow."

He betrayed the Soviet intelligence organization "Red Room" and joined the Avengers; he was only 10 years younger than Captain America.

Presumably, the other party is still undercover in Stark, working as Tony's personal secretary.

"Is there something you need?" Xu Zhenqing replied indifferently after thinking it through. He didn't really want to talk to the other person. He lowered his eyes and ate his steak, wondering why his other dishes hadn't arrived yet.

"Hey handsome, wanna have a drink?"

Natasha's graceful body swayed as she fell, seemingly because her high heels had stepped on her skirt, causing the red wine to spill from her hand and fly towards Xu Zhenqing.

Xu Zhenqing seemed completely unaware until the red wine spilled on him, at which point he realized what had happened, stood up, and patted the wine off his clothes.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, let me wipe it for you."

"It's alright, no need."

Natasha seemed very apologetic, half-squatting down and exposing her delicate collarbones without reservation. The V-neck revealed a hint of cleavage, and she casually pulled out a few tissues to wipe Xu Zhenqing.

The spilled red wine was in an awkward spot. Xu Zhenqing forced himself to slap the other person's hand away, despite his discomfort. He was the kind of person who liked to trick others and didn't like being a novice who knew he was being tricked but still cooperated.

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to make amends for my mistake and caused you trouble."

Natasha's eyes were slightly red as she looked at Xu Zhenqing with a pitiful expression, giving off the air of a pure and innocent beauty, yet also with an affected air.

Xu Zhenqing tried to signal his bodyguards to pull the other person away with his eyes, but they told him that eye contact was not an effective way to convey information.

"Alright, you're all done wiping. It's not an expensive piece of clothing, you can leave now."

"That won't do. How about I treat you to this meal as an apology?"

Helpless, Xu Zhenqing thought that no matter whether he agreed or not, the other party would have a reason to continue to pester him, so he might as well save the cost of a meal.

"But what I ordered wasn't cheap."

"It's alright, I work for Stark Industries, so I have some money. Please order whatever you like."

The latest novel is first published here!

Natasha felt smug and casually replied, "How expensive can this restaurant be?"

To imagine a foodie's victory like the gluttonous protagonists in other stories, you also need to consider the context.

Xu Zhenqing didn't order much, only a thousand or two US dollars. There was nothing he could do; he had been poor since childhood, and having money wouldn't change his precious spirit of being content with poverty.

"I haven't eaten much either, so I'll eat some more at this table."

Natasha, with a smug look on her face, walked over to the wall and grabbed a chair.

The sun was shining directly on the Tropic of Cancer, and the weather was pleasant after the rain, but it also bred a lot of mosquitoes. One mosquito wanted to land on Xu Zhenqing's arm to have a good meal, but it was naturally shaken away by Xu Zhenqing's arm muscles. After several attempts, it could not land and could only fly away helplessly.

This scene caused Natasha's pupils to shrink, but she quickly returned to normal and chatted and laughed with Xu Zhenqing as if nothing had happened.

This is precisely what Xu Zhenqing deliberately revealed: how to get the cat to leave him quickly if he couldn't satisfy its curiosity about stealing fish?

Not being good at dealing with women, Xu Zhenqing decided to find someone to help her handle these kinds of things from now on.

As expected, Natasha quickly lost interest in Xu Zhenqing. After finishing the meal, she didn't participate in the usual activities and hurriedly left under the pretext of work.

"Do you know how you got exposed?" To Natasha, this question seemed to be directed at her ill-intentioned approach, to which she responded with a teasing retort followed by a walk away.

After a satisfying meal, Xu Zhenqing went to the designated location to retrieve his T-virus enhancement fluid, canceled his previous room reservation by phone, and filed a lawsuit against the hotel, deeming it unsuitable for continued stay.

He then bought a villa on installment through a real estate agency and moved into the new home with Jiu Jiu.

Looking at the bright green T-virus enhancement fluid, Xu Zhenqing took out a bottle and injected a quarter of it into Jiu Jiu's body, waiting for the results.

Xu Zhenqing certainly wouldn't test the medicine on himself immediately, otherwise he wouldn't have bought two doses of the enhancement liquid.
