Chapter 208 Mephisto's Three-Party Contract

"Does it have to go to war?"

Although Gwen knew that she couldn't stop Roger, she still didn't want things to develop into a complete war.

The previous S.H.I.E.L.D. may not have been so righteous, but after losing official support, S.H.I.E.L.D. has begun to change.

Otherwise, Gwen would not have joined S.H.I.E.L.D. on purpose.

"If Nick Fury is willing to cooperate, of course he doesn't have to fight."

"Natasha also has the same idea as you, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the possibility of not fighting is not high."

Roger replied calmly.

Although the current S.H.I.E.L.D. has indeed undergone some changes, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still far away from the righteous organization in his heart.

In other words, what S.H.I.E.L.D. is pursuing now is still the American-style justice that he detests.

"All right!"

Gwen said a little lonely.

She knew that Roger was willing to tell her all the plans, which was already a compromise made by Roger.

Otherwise, with Roger's previous personality, there is a high probability that he will tell her the truth after the matter is completely over.

After chatting with Gwen, Roger waited patiently for Natasha's reply.

If Natasha still had a chance to reply to him.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

After knowing Roger's plan, Gwen stayed in the apartment.

Of course, she notified her subordinates in the base, lest they think that something happened to her.

Natasha has been back to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York headquarters for a day, but she still hasn't contacted Roger, which basically means nothing to say.

Just when Roger was about to inform Bucky and others to act, his cell phone rang suddenly.

The caller was from an unknown number.

After connecting, Roger heard Nick Fury's voice.

"Agent Romanov has already told you all about your plan. Do you have time now? I think we can talk face to face."

Nick Fury's tone was calm.

"Of course!" Roger replied directly, not worried about Nick Fury's tricks.

"You wouldn't mind meeting at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in New York, would you?" Nick Fury continued.

"of course not!"

"Okay! In half an hour, we'll meet at SHIELD's New York headquarters. By the way, you can bring Agent Stacey with you!"

After finishing speaking, Nick Fury hung up the phone and sent the address of the New York headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In fact, even if Nick Fury didn't send the address, Roger could easily find the exact location of SHIELD's New York headquarters.

But since the other party took the initiative to send the address, he wouldn't say anything.

Half an hour later, Roger opened the silk portal to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in New York, and walked in with Gwen.

As soon as they walked out of the silk portal, they saw Nick Fury and his party.

At this time, Nick Fury and his party were extremely calm, as if they knew that Roger would come over in this way.

"sit down!"

Looking at Roger in casual clothes, Nick Fury spoke first.

Roger took a look at Nick Fury and others, and then sat down with a calm face.

This is a conference room at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in New York.

To be precise, it is a conference room dedicated to high-level personnel.

Beside Nick Fury, Roger saw those familiar faces.

Captain Rogers, Hawkeye Button, Coulson, Mockingbird Barbara, Iron Knight Melinda...

Among them are two new faces that he has not dealt with before.

Falcon Sam, Ant-Man Scott!

Although the timeline has changed, Falcon Sam and Ant-Man Stirk still made the same choice and became Rogers' comrades in the US team.

"Where's Natasha?"

After sitting down, Roger asked directly.

"She'll come later."

Nick Fury, who was sitting opposite Roger, said calmly.

"It seems that you don't have any sincerity. Natasha is not here at all now, how could she come later."

As soon as he came here, Roger displayed his domineering arrogance and sensed the surrounding situation in detail.

Although there are many life signals in the headquarters base, he can tell at a glance that there is no life signal of Natasha.

In any case, he and Natasha spent an intimate holiday at the Red House.

He couldn't be more familiar with the characteristics of Natasha's life signals.

"It seems that Romanov is right, you do have extraordinary abilities that we don't know about."

Nick Fury's face was still calm, and he said slowly.

Natasha will tell Nick Fury about these things of herself, and Roger is not surprised.

Before returning to New York, Natasha asked him for his opinion, and he agreed that Natasha would tell Nick Fury and others about these things.

This is why Nick Fury and others are so calm after seeing the silk portal.

"Don't change the subject, tell me, where is Natasha now?"

Roger didn't give Nick Fury a chance to change the subject, and continued to ask.

"She was locked up by me. As for the reason, you should know it without me telling you."

Nick Fury's expression became serious, and he stared at Roger with the only remaining eye and said.

"You don't think you can stop me with just the few people around you?"

"Of course they can't stop you, but it's okay to stop you for a few seconds."

"As long as you do it, Natasha will definitely die!"

As soon as Nick Fury finished speaking, Gwen showed an expression of disbelief.

However, Rogers and the others in the US team had a calm expression on their faces, as if they had known this for a long time.

"See, this is the style of S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

Roger ignored Nick Fury, turned to Gwen and said.

After patting Gwen's involuntarily clenched right hand, he said to Nick Fury: "Okay, don't waste everyone's time, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"It's not what I want to do, but what are you going to do?"

"I won't call Captain Marvel, Carol, even if we all die here, I won't contact her."

"Giving someone like you the power of Carol will only bring more pain to the world."

Nick Fury said seriously, as if he was ready to die here completely.

"If that's what you want to say, there's no need for us to continue talking."

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling golden light shone from Roger's body.

Sparkling fruit!

At this time, he directly used the ability of the shiny fruit.

"You don't care about Natasha's safety at all?" Nick Fury continued.

"Of course I care, but I know that you have no intention of negotiating at all. Even if I give in this time, you will not return Natasha to me."

"If my guess is correct, as long as I give in this time, you will definitely continue to threaten me with Natasha in the future, constantly forcing me to give in, and even asking me to work for you."

Roger's body still shone with golden light, exuding an astonishing aura.

"This is just your guess. As long as you cancel this plan, I will release Natasha and Gwen's family immediately."

As soon as Nick Fury finished speaking, Gwen stood up and looked at Nick Fury angrily.

While Gwen stood up, the US team Rogers and others also took a step forward, ready to make a move at any time.

"Is this all your cards?"

Roger's expression was as calm as ever, and he spoke slowly.

"Yes, this is my hole card!" Nick Fury replied directly.

"In order to stop me, you can actually agree to Nick Fury's approach. Seriously, this is something I didn't expect."

Roger looked at the US team Rogers and others and said.

Without waiting for them to reply, he continued, "I see. From your point of view, I am a terrorist."

"It's normal to have some collateral damage in order to fight terrorists, right?"

Speaking of this, Roger suddenly laughed, and then continued: "But I'm curious about one thing, even if I give in this time, how do you plan to stop me in the future?"

"Or are you planning to imprison Natasha and Boss Joe for the rest of their lives?"

"You should be very clear that when you have no means of threatening me, the only thing waiting for you is death, so I guess your decision should be to imprison them permanently."

Roger's tone was very relaxed, but Nick Fury and others couldn't relax at all.

"As long as you promise that you cancel the plan and that you will never be an enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future, I will let them go!" Nick Fury was silent for a few seconds before saying.

"Guarantee? As an agent, you actually believe in guarantees?"

"Of course I don't believe it, but I believe in the devil's contract!"

After speaking, Nick Fury took out a quaint parchment scroll from his arms.

"This is the contract scroll of Mephisto, the lord of hell. As long as you write a promise on the contract, I will release you immediately!"

I have to say that Nick Fury's move was a bit beyond Roger's expectations.

He took out the parchment scroll and forgot, he actually knew the hell lord Mephisto.

"Do you think I would believe such a thing?" Roger asked rhetorically.

"I don't need you to believe me, as long as you write your promise as required, I will never break my word."

Nick Fury said very seriously.

Looking at Nick Fury's expression at this time, Roger fell silent.

After carefully recalling it in his mind, after confirming that he did not allow Natasha to tell Nick Fury that he had mastered the power of the devil, he said: "I want to see your contract!"

"no problem!"

Without any hesitation, Nick Fury handed the parchment scroll to Roger.

After taking the parchment scroll, he confirmed it with the power of the devil.

It is indeed a contract transformed by the power of the devil, and the power of the devil in it is extremely high!
This stuff is actually real?

Roger frowned slightly.

After confirming that the scroll was genuine, he began to browse the contents of the contract.

Unlike the two-party contract he used before, the contract given to him by Nick Fury turned out to be a rare three-party contract.

A tripartite contract, as the name suggests, is a contract composed of three participants.

Normally, the signer of the contract is not only the one who bears the price, but also the one who gets the reward.

However, the tripartite contract is somewhat different.

To put it simply, in a tripartite contract, the person who bears the price and the person who gets the reward can be two different people.

One person is dedicated to bearing the costs, the other to reaping the rewards.

This is a contract of a higher standard than ordinary two-party contracts.

Although Roger knew of the existence of such a contract, he was not capable of drafting such a contract right now.

In the contract, the party bearing the price has clearly stated that it is Nick Fury, and the price given is also a common soul.

As for the drafter of the contract and the person who obtained the soul of Nick Fury, of course it is Mephisto, the Lord of Hell.

The only thing that is still blank in the contract is that the party that gets the reward is still blank.

This is already a semi-finished contract. As long as the person who gets the reward writes on it, the contract will come into effect, and Nick Fury's soul will belong to Mephisto.

"Even if you dedicate your soul to the devil in hell, you still have to stop me. It seems that you really don't hate me in general."

After checking the contract in detail several times, and confirming that there were no hidden text traps and devil texts, Roger said to Nick Fury.

"Use my own soul to limit your harm to S.H.I.E.L.D. I think this deal is a good deal."

Nick Fury said without changing his face.

"It's interesting! But I can't agree to your conditions!"

After speaking, Roger put down the contract in his hand.

"Don't you want to save Natasha and the others?" Nick Fury asked, frowning.

"Of course I would, but your terms are too unfair to me."

"You restrict my shots against S.H.I.E.L.D., but if S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the initiative to trouble me, then I can't fight back."

"I'm not stupid enough to fight back when I'm beaten."

Roger said slowly.

"Only in this regard, we can modify the conditions. As long as S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the initiative to attack you, you can choose to fight back."

"No! It still won't work!"

Although Nick Fury agreed to modify the conditions, Roger chose to refuse.

"Where can't it work?"

"For the sake of your curiosity, let me help you popularize science."

Roger picked up the contract again, and said slowly: "Although I don't know where you got Mephisto's contract, and it is a rare three-party contract, you obviously don't understand the essence of the devil's contract. "

"You want to use this contract to limit my shots against S.H.I.E.L.D. From the perspective of the contract, this is a return."

"But in fact, this is a curse, and it is also a curse given by Mephisto, the lord of hell."

"I think I have to be an idiot to let Mephisto, the lord of hell, give me a curse that I will bear for the rest of my life."

"Perhaps in your opinion, as long as I don't attack S.H.I.E.L.D., the curse won't take effect."

"If you really think so, then you are too naive."

"To restrict my attack on S.H.I.E.L.D., what Mephisto gave must be a very high-standard curse, even a curse that will directly affect my mind and soul."

"If I really sign this contract according to your request, it won't be long before I become a slave of Mephisto, or fall directly into hell."

"Although I don't want Natasha and Qiao Boss to get hurt, I'm not so stupid as to make an unfair deal."

After explaining, Roger directly threw the contract in his hand back to Nick Fury.

The devil's contract seems to be a fair contract, but Roger himself has mastered the power of the devil.

He is very clear about the twists and turns and dangers involved.
