Lord of Cinder in American Comics

On the other hand, Constantine's recent deal with Stark went very smoothly.

Although Ashe hinted to Stark that Constantine possessed a dimension from which he could set his price, Stark remained restrained, offering Constantine essentially the normal market value.

So now, Ash has taken over part of the weapons production line, while Constantine has taken over more of the hardware production lines.

This deal was kept secret from Wanda to avoid any unpleasantness arising from her meeting with Stark.

During this same period, Wanda became more sensible, as if she knew about Constantine's deal and actively avoided it.

Constantine felt it was necessary to make amends to Wanda, so he took her to Disney in Orlando.

Every girl dreams of being a princess, and boys probably do too, after all, even Thor once tried to become a Valkyrie, so Disney is their dreamland.

To avoid any awkwardness between men and women, Constantine also brought Natasha along, who was responsible for looking after Wanda at certain times.

There's no Disneyland in Sokovia, and at Hydra it's just tedious training. Wanda and Pietro are like wild horses, running around all over Disneyland.

"Aren't you going to have some fun? You've come all this way, why not fulfill your dream of becoming a princess?"

Sitting on a bench by the roadside, Constantine looked at Wanda and her brother in the distance and spoke to Natasha beside him.

"Who says I have any desire to become a princess? I've been a secret agent in the Red Room since I was a child. Secret agents don't need any ideas..."

Natasha's words were heartbreaking to hear. From beginning to end, Natasha was all alone, without family or friends.

Just as Constantine was about to say something, Natasha changed the subject and interrupted him.

"This is Orlando, and the Bahamas are just out to sea. Across the strait to the south is Cuba. Once you're done here, leave. This isn't a good place."

After she finished speaking, Natasha fell silent.

Under Constantine's scrutinizing gaze, Natasha finally couldn't take it anymore and made up an excuse to go find Wanda.

A man sat on a bench, Constantine smoking one cigarette after another, the cigarette butts neatly arranged to the side, forming a pyramid.

Although it was Disneyland, a non-smoking area, Constantine exuded an aura that kept people at bay, and no one came forward to dissuade him.

Suddenly, a woman with long hair, fair skin, long legs, a slim waist, and a pretty face walked from a distance in high heels. In front of Constantine, the heel of her high heel broke, and she fell down in front of him.

The black stockings were instantly torn by the ground, leaving small rips on her legs. Half-lying on the ground, the beauty waited for someone to help her up.

However, Constantine was like a blind man who didn't know how to help others, completely oblivious to what was happening in front of him, and continued smoking his cigarette.

The woman who fell only showed Constantine her back; lying on the ground, she couldn't see what was behind her and could only sit there and wait.

After a long time, no one came to help her up, and given Constantine's imposing presence, there were even fewer people around, and no one witnessed the beautiful woman fall.

Finally, unable to wait any longer, the beautiful woman got up from the ground, picked up her broken high heel in one hand, and left barefoot.

On her way out, the beautiful woman didn't look at Constantine. If she had, she would have seen the mockery and disdain in his eyes.

Wanda skipped back to Constantine's side, pulling along Pietro, who looked reluctant and hadn't had enough fun yet.

Wanda collected a bunch of resin figurines of princesses for herself, while Pietro had a particular fondness for lightsabers from Star Wars.

Didn't you bring me a souvenir?

Constantine, on the other hand, expressed regret at being forgotten.

This made Wanda instantly anxious, looking at the items in her hands and wondering if she should steal Pietro's lightsaber and give it to Constantine.

"Never mind, I'll go buy it myself. You two just wait here for Natasha and me."

After saying that, Constantine walked toward the gift area in the distance.

"It's all your fault, Pietro! Why didn't you remind me that I didn't prepare a gift for the teacher!"

"Who dragged me through all the gift shops just to collect all the princesses? To save time, they only gave me enough money and time to buy a lightsaber?"

"It's all your fault...it's all your fault..."

After leaving, Constantine went to the top of the castle alone, where two women in tight-fitting combat suits were lying on the ground, observing the distance with binoculars and sniper scopes.

Sensing someone behind them, the two sprang to their feet and drew their pistols, ready to shoot Constantine.

With no one else or cameras around, Constantine dropped the pretense and punched them one by one, leaving them no chance to even whine.

However, after Constantine knocked the two unconscious, a cloud of green smoke ejected from their combat suits, enveloping them. The intense stimulation of the green smoke instantly revived them.

The sound of gunfire was barely audible amidst the explosions of fireworks. The two men emptied their guns in an instant and then distanced themselves from Constantine.

Without rushing closer, the two simply grabbed the ropes that had been prepared beforehand and jumped off the castle.

They retreated immediately upon contact, leaving behind only a sniper rifle, observation and aiming equipment, and a vial emitting a red glow.

This method of luring the enemy is like placing a brightly lit, glittering soul at a crossroads, and then preparing three or five living corpses in the shadows. As soon as the ashes come into contact with it, they jump out from the darkness and hack the ashes to death with a flurry of blows.

'Ridiculous! Would I, the mighty Lord of Cinder, fall for such a trick?'

Despite his disdain for this method, Constantine obediently reached out to pick up the potion from the ground.

As Constantine expected, the potion exploded right before his eyes, enveloping him in red smoke.

However, after quietly waiting and observing his body's reaction, Constantine discovered that this had not caused him any consequences.

'Should I pretend to faint?'

After considering a strategy, Constantine decided against it, since it was evening and it was getting chilly to lie on the ground.

Back where Wanda and Pietro were, Natasha was already waiting there.

When Constantine returned, Natasha sniffed as if she had smelled something.

However, Natasha didn't say anything, pretending nothing had happened, and went to the Dragon Academy through Constantine's portal.

After separating Wanda and her brother, Natasha stayed behind alone and said to Constantine, "Can you take me back to Auckland? I've forgotten something."

"You can forget things?"

Pretending to be shy, Natasha said somewhat embarrassedly, "I also bought some things, which I secretly stored away. I'll open a portal and go back to get them."

Without saying much, Constantine opened a portal and sent Natasha to Disneyland in Auckland.

"You don't need to wait for me, I want to wander around by myself."

After saying that, Natasha ran off without looking back, shouting as she joined the revelers.

Natasha wandered through the gift shops like a reveling teenager, buying all sorts of gifts. However, in a hidden corner, she concealed these items, pretending to be empty-handed, and entered the next gift shop.

Even after browsing through all the gift shops, Natasha still couldn't find what she was looking for. Somewhat disappointed, she returned to the place where she had arranged to meet Constantine, waiting for him to open the portal and take her back.

While Natasha was waiting, a voice came from the side: "I didn't find those two in the gift shop. I found them on the top of the castle. You've come to the wrong place..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Constantine, who was in stealth mode, also deactivated his invisibility and appeared in front of Natasha.

"you……?"

Pointing to the highest point of the castle, Constantine emphasized again, "That's it."

A portal appeared beneath their feet, and they found themselves atop the castle.

The guns and equipment that were left behind are long gone, but the bullet marks are still clearly visible.

Analyzing the bullet holes, Natasha easily simulated the scene of the two shooting at Constantine, only to find that there was no other way but to retreat from the top.

The fireworks display at night made the castle top, where the two were, the best viewing platform, but no one present was interested in watching the fireworks show.

"Can you tell me? Go ahead and tell me, I'm just killing time anyway."

Constantine, who was smoking, suddenly blurted out a sentence without any tact, which made Natasha roll her eyes.

"The scent you carry today belongs to Black Widow."

Hearing that he smelled something on himself, Constantine lifted his coat and sniffed it, but couldn't smell anything.

"This is a special scent, one that can only be detected by certain women, or rather, only by Black Widow. But I've already destroyed the Red Room, haven't I?"

Constantine said meaningfully, "Are you sure you took down the Red Room? That's a big organization!"

"Of course! I watched Drekoff die in the explosion..."

Natasha spoke somewhat reluctantly. Drekoff's death was part of Natasha's exploratory mission to join S.H.I.E.L.D. after leaving the Red Room. In that explosion, Natasha used Drekoff's daughter as bait, planting a bomb in her bag.

However, Constantine persisted, saying, "Did you see his body? Or did you find any pieces of his body? One of the hunter's rules is never to cut off the prey's head, and never to believe in the death of the prey..."

Natasha's confident words made her somewhat insecure. She feared the Red Room more than anyone else; it was a nightmare that wouldn't go away.

"Can you take me somewhere else? I want to ask someone."

Chapter 201: Cortana

At Natasha's request, Constantine opened a portal to Ohio, the state where Natasha lived as a child. To avoid being reminded of her childhood, Natasha never comes there unless she's on a mission.

"What exactly are we looking for? And why can't I smell my own scent?"

"You're wearing a special scent dye produced by the Red Room. Only those who have undergone special modifications react to this dye. The Red Room designed it specifically to prevent mission targets from being uninterested in a single agent. Every Black Widow can recognize you as a target just by smelling it. It's usually only removed when the mission target is captured..."

Following in Natasha's footsteps, Constantine searched with her in every city, looking for Natasha's target.

Unable to bear this aimless behavior any longer, Constantine said impatiently, "What exactly are you looking for? Tell me, and I might be able to offer some help."

“A bar called Bar with No Name, or it won’t look like a bar, but it’s a black market inside, where I might find the information I’m looking for.”

Natasha spoke of the destination somewhat uncertainly. This vague location only elicited a long sigh of relief from Constantine, who was relieved that he no longer had to wander aimlessly.

"I thought you were looking for something like Sister Margaret's House for Wayward Girls or the Graveyard of God, but it turns out it's just a black market?"

Natasha licked her lips and said seductively, "Perhaps you could take me to those two places you mentioned? Maybe they hold the information I'm looking for?"

"Don't even think about it! The first one has a super annoying chatterbox, and as for the second one, whether we can even find a place is another matter; just from the name, you can tell it's not a good place..."

After saying that, Constantine took out his phone and sent a message.

This wasn't the first time Natasha had seen Constantine use a mobile phone, but this phone was clearly different from those on the market, which piqued her curiosity.

"You got a new phone? I've never seen it before?"

These words prompted Constantine to exclaim, mimicking Fitz's tone, "Oh my god, no cell phone, no computer! I'm going to die... Anyone would get annoyed if someone kept creating opportunities to ask me when I could finally use a computer and connect to WiFi..."

Natasha, who was at Dragon Academy, had also seen Fitz. This former network engineer and electronics enthusiast, without cell phones and computers, could only push for the modernization of Dragon Academy by harassing Constantine.

Constantine, who was using his phone, tossed a new one to Natasha, saying, "Here you go, consider this an early treat..."

Upon taking the phone, Natasha found that it was no different from a regular phone, except that it was thinner, lighter, and had a larger screen. An unremovable app was pre-installed on the phone.

When Natasha opened the app, she was asked to verify her identity. After entering her password and fingerprint/voiceprint information, a blue figure appeared on the screen.
