Chapter 1849 - I Have a Unique Concealment Method
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After chatting for a while, Luke deliberately opened his helmet to reveal the handsome African-American face.
Natasha was quite startled by his quick-fire talk.
It wasn't that Luke liked chatting with Natasha, but that this woman was obsessive. She had been sounding him out and harassing Knight for the past few days.
Knight had to maintain a noble air, and couldn't go all out. He just mocked her occasionally.
However, the female agent was too thick-skinned to care about something like that.
White Wolf, on the other hand, was very suitable for crushing her with his words as revenge for being constantly harassed in the last few days.
Luke still had to use Hypnosis to deal with ordinary men, and had to be more careful when dealing with aliens or Inhumans.
But Natasha, whose body structure and pheromones were still in the human category, was nothing in front of his abilities.
Pheromone Control as used by Kilgrave could control a person who was fully clear-headed; they couldn't resist at all.
Luke's knockoff version to control women was similarly incomprehensible.
Coupled with Mental Hypnosis and Mental Illusion, he could make any woman fall crazy in love with him and make it look normal.
But just like how college students had no interest in doing primary school test papers, doing this wasn't challenging or interesting, just like with Natasha at the moment.
If Luke really needed to, he could make Natasha lie down with a thought.
But he couldn't bully his 'friend's wife.'
Although he wasn't very familiar with Dr. Banner, he was Dustin's cousin-in-law.
After chatting for half an hour, he easily obtained a lot of important information from the Black Widow.
He wasn't deliberately trying to get information out of her. After all, he knew most of what she knew.
He was just teasing her for fun.
To prevent the female agent from sensing anything wrong, he pretended to be careless and let her profit a little.
Of course, the Dark Knight couldn't do that, or it would be hard for him to do business with the Avengers.
In any case, White Wolf wasn't a member of the Bat Squad, so it didn't matter if he was a little dumb.
The 'black and white' duo chatted happily as the Quinjet flew north. The android conserved energy and remained dormant until it reached the North Pole.
The signal from the mini drone that had been hiding in the Baroness's clothes was completely lost.
Luke wasn't worried, because the moment he lost the signal, the drone had sent out the coordinates for the entrance of a base under a glacier.
The three of them jumped out of the plane 100 kilometers away.
The Quinjet, which had been automatically set to return to America, simply turned around.
The stealth system on this Quinjet had been a later addition. Although the plane had all the trimmings, in terms of size and overall design, it was still far inferior to the armor.
Luke didn't want to give Cobra any chance to be vigilant, so he naturally wouldn't fly the plane directly over the base.
Even with his current capability, it was very hard for him to build a large base under the polar ice sheet.
It wasn't just about resources and technology.
More importantly, a large-scale base would require a lot of manpower and a long time before it could be completed without anyone knowing.
After all, it would take a lot of time to secretly gather a lot of resources to construct something in the North Pole.
No subordinate was absolutely reliable. Once the secret was leaked, someone else might swoop in to occupy it after it was completed.
Hence, this mission could only be considered perfectly accomplished once the base was emptied out and Luke was sipping coffee in the chair of the Cobra boss.
Carrying out a perfect mission was very difficult and the chances of doing so weren't high, but nobody would complain about gaining too much, not even someone as rich as Luke.
…
Hovering five meters above the ice, the three of them swiftly advanced in stealth mode.
Luke thought for a moment, then used Knight to give Natasha a heads-up. "We might have to hide nearby for a while – a week or two, a month at most. If you have other things to attend to during this period, you can deal with that first."
After a brief silence, Natasha made up her mind. "It's normal to take a few months to complete such a big mission. Just nice, I don't have anything else on lately; I can be patient."
Only an idiot would quit now! she mumbled inwardly.
They had already agreed on a 30-70 split for this mission.
If something unexpected happened the moment she left, these two would never wait for her to come back. Their first priority would be to settle everything.
That was what she would do.
At that time, if she really wanted 50% of the profits, a certain someone who valued fairness wouldn't agree.
A base in the North Pole that could house fighter jets could be exchanged for hundreds or thousands of credit points.
For the sake of clearing her debt, she didn't want to give up even 1%.
While the female agent was calculating like mad, Luke truly hadn't thought of this at all.
The final number of credit points for the mission was up to him. He was really just giving her a heads-up about what might happen next.
A few hours later, Natasha stared blankly at everything and felt a little doubtful. "Are you serious?"
Of the two people who were digging frantically, only White Wolf turned around and smiled. His black face was especially eye-catching against the white expanse. "Of course. If we don't do this, we might not be able to last even two days and have to go back, only to come back here again. That would waste too much time."
He comforted her. "Don't worry. Old Black and I will dig out a separate bathroom for you."
In the freezing North wind, the female agent's feelings were a mess. "…That's not what I meant."
What astonished her was that the two of them were actually going to build an ice house under the ice, and one that would meet their daily needs.
As for building a separate bathroom for her and how it wasn't hard… Well, that was actually very important.
This situation seemed different from any infiltration training she had undergone before!
But Luke wasn't an agent.
The Poles were basically no man's land. Even if Natasha was a special agent, it was unlikely she would have experienced something similar before.
It would be hard to hide out here for long.
So, Luke naturally had to do things his way.
…
A day later, after doing some reconnaissance around Cobra's base in her armor, Natasha was a little tired as she entered the ice house through a gap in the ice sheet.
After taking a few steps, she realized that something wasn't right. She looked around and realized that the empty living room had changed.
Ignoring the assembled load-bearing boards and pillars that propped up the ice house, this room was similar to a regular living room.
It even had a couch, a coffee table, a carpet and a coffee pot.
She was stunned for a few seconds before she asked White Wolf, who was only wearing an ordinary winter coat as he sat on the couch and swiped around on his tablet, "How did you get these?"
Luke raised his head and grinned, revealing his white teeth. "As long as you have credit points, the bigshot won't turn down an order, and will do an express delivery."
