Chapter 191 The Temptation of the Devil

Natasha's proposal made Nick Fury fall into thought.

Although they had cooperated with Roger once before, and the cooperation was not bad, he instinctively had some distrust for Roger.

Since Roger led the aliens to conquer Wakanda, Nick Fury has paid close attention to Roger's news.

However, unlike before, since Roger moved from New York to Dressrosa, the capital of Wakanda, he has stayed in Dressrosa like a hermit.

In fact, in addition to Nick Fury wanting to know about Roger's intelligence, the intelligence agencies of other countries also want to know what Roger, who is only the elder of Wakanda in name, is doing.

But it is a pity that although Wakanda has not escaped the world as before, it is still extremely difficult to send spies or agents into Dressrosa to inquire about intelligence.

Most of the people living in Dressrosa are aliens.

Not to mention these aliens have all kinds of strange superpowers, what's more troublesome is that these aliens have almost crazy beliefs in Roger.

It is a problem that there is no way to send agents and spies in, and it is another problem that there is no way to inquire about Roger's intelligence after they go in.

Over time, no country is willing to do these thankless things.

Nick Fury made Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. try a few times.

After the results all ended in failure, he gradually gave up the idea.

But that doesn't mean he'll give up on Roger.

Some time ago, he received news that Roger had suddenly appeared in New York to meet Ross.

"Contacting Roger may also be a viable option."

"Since this was proposed by you, Natasha, I will leave it to you."

Nick Fury looked at Natasha with his only remaining right eye, and said slowly.

"no problem!"

Natasha was not surprised by Nick Fury's arrangement.

She had anticipated this when she uttered the offer.

Among the senior agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who are still in office, only two are suitable for this task.

One is Natasha the Black Widow and the other is Barbara the Mockingbird.

They had all had more or less contact with Roger before.

What's more, they are all women.

Other people or institutions may not know Roger's character, but S.H.I.E.L.D. can be 100% sure that Roger is an old pervert.

After discussing some defensive measures that I don't know if they will work, the meeting ended.

Just when Natasha was about to leave the meeting room and tried to contact Roger through Wakanda's public channels, Captain America Rogers suddenly came to her.

"That... If you get in touch with Sharon, can you send her a message for me?"

Rogers, who was wearing casual clothes, said with some embarrassment.

"You guys have been separated for a long time, I don't think it's a wise move."

Natasha looked at Rogers and said slowly.

"No, I don't want to get back together with her, I just want her to help find out Bucky's whereabouts."

"After Bucky followed Roger to Wakanda, I never heard from Bucky again. I just want to know about Bucky's recent situation."

After listening to Rogers' explanation, Natasha shook her head helplessly.

Since meeting with Bucky, Rogers' knot has not been untied, but has become more serious.

If this continues, Natasha is worried about whether Rogers will experience any abnormalities.

"I'll try my best, but don't get your hopes up."

"Whether it's Sharon or Bucky, you should know better than me how much they trust Roger."

Although Rogers' personal request was troublesome, Natasha agreed.

"Thank you!"

After thanking Natasha, Rogers left the conference room.

Looking at Rogers' inexplicably lonely back, Natasha sighed helplessly.

Wakanda, Dressrosa.

Roger never thought that when he was enjoying his leisure time leisurely, he would actually receive a call from Natasha, the black widow.

Natasha first contacted Wakanda's diplomatic department.

Then, after a long wait and review, her call was transferred to Sharon, Roger's personal secretary.

After explaining her intentions to Sharon and obtaining Roger's consent, her call was finally transferred to Roger.

At this time, Roger was lying beside the swimming pool in the elder's mansion, enjoying his afternoon sunbathing.

"You have encountered some troubles, so you plan to let me help?"

After hearing Natasha's words, Roger almost couldn't help laughing.

The current attack on SHIELD was arranged by him alone, but SHIELD turned to him for help.

"We can basically confirm that this is an alien special forces team from a certain planet. Don't you have any interest?"

Although there was no way to see Natasha's holographic projection at this time, Roger could tell from her tone that she was quite confused now.

"I'm not particularly interested in extraterrestrials these days, and I don't think you guys can pay me to impress me."

Roger said calmly.

"We can hand over most of the alien equipment we have captured to you. If we can find their spaceship, the spaceship will also belong to you."

This is something that Natasha and the others decided in the meeting.

To put it simply, this is no different from the last time they teamed up against the Cree.

If there is any difference, it is that there is no Yuan Devourer in the reward this time.

"Using things that don't belong to you as compensation, S.H.I.E.L.D. will continue to do business as always."

"Still, I'm not interested."

The only person in S.H.I.E.L.D. that interests Roger right now is Captain Marvel, Carol.

As for the others, he was not interested.

"The matter of remuneration can continue to be discussed, as long as we can do it, we can satisfy you."

Natasha did not give up, and continued to speak, even her tone became charming and alluring.

As a top agent, Natasha knows how to play to her advantage.

What's more, what she is facing now is still an old critic.

I don't know if it's because the sun on the African continent is too fierce. After hearing Natasha's deliberately feigned charming tone, Roger suddenly felt a little bit hot.

However, he still didn't agree to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan.

Although he could agree to Natasha on the surface, and then backstab S.H.I.E.L.D., forcing Nick Fury to contact Captain Marvel.

But at this time, he was not in the mood to play the "undercover" game.

For the previous bounty mission, he had been "undercover" for almost two years.

After finally completing the task and returning to the main world, he certainly has no interest in continuing to be an "undercover agent".

Just when he was about to directly reject Natasha and ask Jiayi's intelligence department to reverse locate Natasha's location, Natasha's charming voice came again.

"Gwen Stacy is now also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and is also the head of a sub-base."

After hearing what Natasha said, Roger froze for a moment.

He didn't expect that he could hear news from Gwen at this time.

The last time I met Gwen was because Jin Bing kidnapped Joe's eldest family.

Although he rescued Qiao Boss and his family from Jin Bin, he never saw Gwen and Qiao Boss again after that time.

What's more, after Natasha finished speaking, the system actually released a bounty task.

"Bounty mission: Temptation of the devil; mission reward: 5000 million Berry; mission progress: not completed."

After seeing the information of the bounty task appearing in front of him, he said to Natasha: "I have something to do now, I will contact you later!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without any hesitation, and browsed through the mission requirements in detail.

Temptation of the devil, just by looking at the name, you can guess what the mission is about.

The task requires him to use the ability of the devil form of the fruit of everyone to complete two soul transactions.

In order to avoid other card bugs, the system directly limited the candidates for soul trading.

Gwen Stacy, Natasha Romanoff.

Judging from the rewards given by the mission, the system believes that the difficulty of this mission is not very high, so it only rewards 5000 million Berries.

5000 million berries!
This reward is not too much, but not too much.

If there is no special demand, 5000 million Berry will not be very tempting to Roger.

But now, he just happened to buy the character card of the Pirate Queen in Zanberry.

He is still short of more than 6000 million Berry to buy the character card of the Pirate Queen.

Although there is no way for him to buy the rewards of this mission directly, it can also greatly shorten the distance between him and the character card of the Pirate Queen.

It must be difficult to lure Gwen and Natasha to trade souls with the ability of the devil form, but if it is very difficult, it is not so difficult.

After a few minutes of simple thinking, Roger made a decision and called Natasha.

"It's not impossible to let me help you, but we need to discuss the specific remuneration in detail. You give me an address to meet, and I will go there in person tomorrow."

"Okay! That's tomorrow at noon, meet in New York."

Natasha gives Roger a meeting place.

When Roger hung up the phone again, Natasha still had a puzzled expression on her face.

Gwen Stacy had such a big influence on Roger?
Natasha took it for granted that Roger's change was attributed to Gwen.

She would never know that what really moved Roger was not Gwen, but the bounty mission.

After hanging up the phone, Roger flashed back to the bedroom and put on his normal clothes.

Afterwards, he came to his study and contacted Chief Intelligence Officer Jia Yi.

"Inform the tour group to stop their actions and wait for the next order."

After ordering Jiayi, he began to think about the task.

In terms of difficulty, it is obviously easier to lure Gwen to trade souls than to lure Natasha.

Although some unpleasant things happened between him and Gwen, in any case, the time they deal with is a little longer.

As for Natasha, Roger has only met her a few times in total, and has no personal contact at all, let alone any friendship.

Get Gwen first, then Natasha!

Roger first set the order of the tasks.

Then, he began to think about a concrete plan of action.

After calculating repeatedly in the study for more than half an hour, he discovered a problem.

Whether it is Gwen or Natasha, he has no good reason to seduce.

Gwen and Natasha are not idiots, and it is not easy to get them to sign the contract willingly.

Even if he used the devil's words to hide the soul transaction in the normal content, Gwen and Natasha would not easily sign the contract.

Leaving a trap on a contract is the devil's traditional skill.

But faithfully fulfilling the content of the contract is also the devil's code of conduct.

Roger can hide the point of giving his soul in the content of the contract, but no matter how he makes the contract trap, he needs to give Gwen and Natasha a willingness to sign the contract in return.

Everything you ask for has a price!

This is true for both parties to the contract.

Roger wants to get the souls of Gwen and Natasha, so he has to meet Gwen and Natasha's requirements.

At this time, although Natasha has an obvious request, she hopes that he can help S.H.I.E.L.D. to survive this attack.

But this doesn't mean that Natasha will sign her name casually on the parchment contract he took out.

With Natasha's IQ, Roger can guarantee that as soon as he takes out the parchment contract, Natasha will definitely become suspicious.

If I had known that this kind of thing would happen, I should have learned from that fellow traveler who claimed that he had the obsessive-compulsive disorder to sign a contract before executing the entrustment.

Since he couldn't think of a suitable way to lure him, Roger simply gave up thinking.

The task must be completed, but the information he has now is too little to allow him to formulate a perfect action plan.

Therefore, he planned to meet with Natasha first, and then slowly think about signing the contract.

The next day, Roger used the silk thread portal to arrive at the agreed meeting place.

The meeting place given by Natasha is a 24-hour chain restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, he saw Natasha and Barbara in casual clothes.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and you two are still so charming."

Roger sat across from Natasha and said slowly.

"You are not bad either. In just a few years, you have changed from an unemployed vagrant with no fixed place to the real controller behind a country."

Natasha said with a smile.

"Let's stop here for the business bragging. You want me to deal with those aliens. It's not impossible, but I want to know what price you can pay."

"Although this is not the first time we have cooperated, there are some things that are better explained clearly from the beginning."

Roger's expression and tone became serious.

"Except for what I said yesterday, you can choose any three of the items here, which are regarded as our reward."

After speaking, Natasha took out a document and placed it in front of Roger.

Regarding the remuneration, Natasha and the others held another internal meeting to discuss it, and decided to add a part to the original basis.

Roger opened the file and quickly browsed through it, then shook his head helplessly.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed not as good as it used to be, and it has been reduced to the point where it takes out spoils of war as rewards.

The document Natasha gave him, it would be more appropriate to put it another way, the directory list of 084.

084 is an intelligence code in S.H.I.E.L.D., representing objects of unknown origin, including but not limited to objects, energy, and creatures.

As long as S.H.I.E.L.D. can't confirm the source and don't understand anything, it will be code-named 084.

When the Inhumans did not fully appear in front of the world, the Inhumans can also be regarded as 084.
