At that time, Natasha couldn't help but ask which department the director who had died belonged to.
With a benevolent smile, the bigshot said casually, "This one? Of course, he's also a very important one. "
The female agent almost laughed out loud.
When Nick Fury gave her Life One, he had said that he had a special relationship with this bigshot, and that he could get a lot of good stuff from him.
She didn't expect him to be this "special."
In fact, Luke's partner was simpler than Natasha had thought.
It only had two levels: "friendly" and "important," which represented teammates and non-teammates respectively.
Thus, even though Nick Fury was much more important than regular business partners, he couldn't gain Luke's full trust, and could only be an important partner.
The last "strategic" level was completely to fool other people.
One of them was his own avatar, and the other was Iron Man, the human flesh technology manufacturing machine.
If you wanted a horse to run, you had to feed it more grass.
How could a certain "manufacturing machine" produce new products quickly without adding "fuel" to it?
Luke had to find an excuse to supply Tony with all kinds of technology in bulk.
In any case, the list of his teammates' abilities was there, and Luke would feel uncomfortable if it wasn't refreshed every few days.
Getting Natasha to join them was also something he had been planning for a long time.
But like the stewed egg, the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. were best suited for business.
It would be very difficult for them to pass the system's teammate test.
After all, it was much harder to fool an elite agent than it was to fool a newbie that Luke had trained himself.
Natasha was half an exception, because she was a woman.
Luke, on the other hand, was more at ease with women.
Besides, Natasha was Nick Fury's direct subordinate, but now that S.H.I.E.L.D. was basically done for, she no longer had a superior relationship with Nick Fury.
In the future, she and Nick Fury would at most have a little more trust and cooperation than anyone else.
In that case, Luke felt that he could totally intervene.
If Nick Fury wanted to deal with Hydra, Luke would think that the stewed egg was a kill-steal.
Since they were both working for justice, he wouldn't believe that Natasha would turn him down if he offered a higher price.
She already owed the bigshot a thousand credit points, and would have to buy other equipment with them in the future.
Since she wasn't a teammate, she would have to pay several times the normal price.
If she was really willing, she wouldn't have agreed to take it on credit, but would have taken it off and thrown it at Luke's face.
Well, that was an exaggeration.
But Natasha was more practical, and she was willing to maintain this kind of business relationship with the big shots.
Luke was overjoyed.
It was not easy to find a ready-made top-notch intelligence expert.
This kind of person was best at being a double agent, providing half-true and half-false information to the employer.
But if he were to buy information from Natasha, he would not have such concerns.
Spending a small amount of resources to hire the famous Black Widow was no different from picking it up for free.
After dealing with Black Widow, another person secretly contacted Batman.
This person was Phil.
Nick Fury did not take him away, but let him stay in the United States and continue the career of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Phil is now the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Luke was quite surprised when he chatted with Phil on the yacht. "You … are the director?"
Phil was still smiling like a good person. "Although my abilities are much weaker, who else can I find?"
Luke's face was indifferent, but he mumbled inwardly, That guy, Braised Egg, was already beaten into a hornet's nest when he was the director. With your personality, you'll probably be crippled in a few days, right?
Hm, wasn't Braised Egg a one-eyed man? He didn't even have hair.
He couldn't help but look at Phil's hairline, and felt that it was rising at a visible rate.
Phil didn't know that Batman was actually thinking about this nonsense. He simply made his request. "I want to get support from you."
"Tell me about it." Luke was all ears.
He didn't doubt why Phil didn't look for a big shot.
Perhaps this uncle of his felt that he would lose face in front of the big shot, so he might as well ask Batman to be his "purchasing agent."
After talking for a long time, Luke and Phil decided on a partnership.
Luke would provide funds, equipment, intelligence, military force, and so on, including almost everything to support the "new S.H.I.E.L.D." that Phil had just created.
Phil, on the other hand, needed to provide intelligence and technology to help Luke lock onto various targets — prioritizing Hydra and superpowered bad guys.
It seemed that Luke was paying too much for this deal, but there was a limit to his support, and he had priority in the deal.
In a non-emergency situation, Phil had to tell Batman what he was interested in and let him choose whether or not to make a deal.
If Batman didn't want it, he could give it to someone else.
Of course, this choice was that Phil would ask and Luke would answer on the spot, so that it wouldn't delay the operation.
After finalizing everything, Phil soon left.
There were too many things to do in the new S.H.I.E.L.D. He was very busy.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had to confirm his trump card in advance, Phil might not have come to see Batman.
Watching Phil hurry up to the dock and leave, Luke shook his head and chuckled. "They're all so busy. Hydra really is a professional troublemaker."
Half a month had passed since the American government named Project Insight, but everyone had endless things to do.
Cleaning up Hydra was only part of the job, and Luke was very enthusiastic about it.
Dividing up S.H.I.E.L.D. was another important job, and that was what Phil and Tony were doing.
Phil was pulling people and gathering resources, and so was Tony.
At that moment, in Stark Plaza, Maria Hill was being questioned by HR in a grayish-black suit.
She knew very well that Stark Industries' hiring actually had nothing to do with this HR manager, but she still maintained a smile and went through the motions.
Compared with Steve, who was a super fighter, and Natasha, who was a top spy, Hill, who was mainly in charge of administration, wasn't likely to disappear.
So, Nikfuri handed her over to Tony.
The tycoon's power was enough to protect this person, and also leave a useful talent for the Avengers.
S.H.I.E.L.D. might fall, but the Avengers wouldn't.
From the beginning, the Avengers had been a small team of "superheroes."
Previously, Nikfuri had wanted S.H.I.E.L.D. to lead it, but Tony, the proud guy, had been unwilling, and had simply become a semi-independent "consultant."
Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. had collapsed, the other superheroes didn't have the ability to build and maintain a team — such as capital, venue, equipment, and connections. Only Tony could.
So, it was only natural that the tycoon would be the leader of this alliance.
Recruiting Hill, a talent who had passed many tests, would be an employee of Stark Industries on the surface, but in private, she would be an administrative member of the Avengers.
Luke was also quite interested in her, but unfortunately, Nikfuri had given her to Tony.
It wasn't a big deal to poach someone first; the tycoon would definitely be too embarrassed to compete with him.
But since the tycoon had taken her down, it wouldn't be good for him to say anything.
However, Luke had at least taken down "half" of the Black Widow and "half" Phil, so he was satisfied.
