Chapter 235 - Chapter 237: How Can a C+ Rank Compete for Resources with an S-Rank?

It turned out that the chandelier in Fang Yuan's house wasn't as good-looking as Black Widow's "headlights."

God knows how such a slender-waisted woman could grow such large "fruits"?

They were so dazzling that Fang Yuan's eyes hurt.

Normally, Black Widow no longer needed to fully commit herself when using a honey trap.

However, Fang Yuan was clearly different from other men; whether in temperament or strength, it was hard to say if Fang Yuan was the one who gained or Natasha.

After this battle, Natasha also got what she wanted.

"The Tesseract can actually transport people to another World. It's truly amazing," Natasha lamented.

She was considered well-traveled and had seen many strange things, but another World? This was the first time she had heard of it.

However, Natasha did not doubt this claim because the Tesseract was currently kept within S.H.I.E.L.D., and scientists had been studying it for decades without ever fully uncovering its mysteries.

Regarding the mystery of Fang Yuan's identity, Black Widow also asked, and then she received an even more surprising answer.

"Because..." Fang Yuan snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire appeared in his hand, then transformed into the shape of a bouquet of roses, "I know magic!"

Natasha's mouth opened slightly. Even as an Agent, she was momentarily stunned.

But she had a very strong ability to adapt, so she immediately followed up for details: "So when you disappeared before, were you studying magic?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"What about Captain America?" Natasha asked the key question. "Did you approach Captain America because of magic too?"

"Oh, at the beginning, that was just a mission from the Sorcerer Supreme."

"But later I found that Steve was indeed a heroic figure, so I stayed to help him."

Fang Yuan began his session of talking nonsense.

"Sorcerer Supreme?" Natasha's eyes widened slightly. "You have a mage organization?"

Fang Yuan immediately asked back as if it were obvious, "Of course. You didn't think I was some kind of wild mage, did you?"

"I know your S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization that protects the Earth's safety, but you only have a few decades of history, whereas Kamar-Taj, where I come from, has protected the World from threats on the mystic side for over a thousand years!"

Kamar-Taj had not concerned itself with worldly affairs for many years, only seeking to guard in silence, but now Fang Yuan had arrived. What kind of person was Fang Yuan?

As the benevolent Black King, he certainly couldn't let the mages of Kamar-Taj give silently without being known by outsiders.

Debut! Everyone, debut for me!

"The Sorcerer Supreme is our leader. She has lived for hundreds of years and is a very kind person," Fang Yuan introduced with a respectful expression.

Did you hear that, Ancient One? The name is already out there; you can't let Fang Yuan's painstaking efforts go to waste.

Of course, there was another reason Fang Yuan said this: to use her prestige to bolster his own.

Sure enough, hearing Fang Yuan's introduction, Natasha immediately became much more serious.

A single mage versus a mage organization—the weight of the two was completely different. Fang Yuan's value also rose rapidly in Natasha's heart.

If it was really as Fang Yuan said, that there was an organization like Kamar-Taj that also guarded the World, then they would be natural allies with S.H.I.E.L.D.

It just so happened that Nick Fury wanted to assemble a Superhero team recently. If he could directly bring in a powerful magic organization, it would definitely be the best thing.

So Natasha directly extended an invitation to Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan didn't agree immediately.

"Kamar-Taj has always been hidden from the World and unknown to the public. Cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D.?" He pretended to look troubled. "I have to discuss it with the Sorcerer Supreme."

Discuss?

Natasha's eyes flickered. She keenly noticed that Fang Yuan said "discuss" instead of "request instructions." Clearly, Fang Yuan's status in Kamar-Taj was not low either.

She took the initiative to trace circles on the back of Fang Yuan's hand with her finger, completely ignoring her exposed charms before him. "Perhaps you could also try to convince the Sorcerer Supreme. I believe Director Fury would be very willing to speak with her in person."

Fang Yuan grinned. "That depends on whether you can persuade me?"

Natasha's eyes were like a spring pool, wanting to pull Fang Yuan in. Hearing this, she immediately lowered her body... Black Widow's persuasion skills were quite good, and Fang Yuan eventually agreed.

However, this left Natasha exhausted, but when she slumped on the bed, there was a satisfied smile on her face.

Agents were under a lot of pressure and would normally relax on their own, but this time, Black Widow felt she had relaxed a bit too much.

After tasting delicacies from land and sea, going back to eating chaff and wild herbs would be unacceptable.

Fang Yuan dressed neatly and drew a few circles in the air in front of Natasha. A sparking portal appeared in the room.

On the other side of the portal was a snow-covered mountain peak.

Seeing this scene with her own eyes, Natasha was truly stunned and stood there dazed.

But Fang Yuan knew her appearance was all an act. Black Widow seemed to have lowered her guard, but in her heart, she was frantically memorizing the scene on the other side of the portal so she could find the location of Kamar-Taj.

An Agent's professional habit.

That's why Fang Yuan opened the portal in the Alps instead of directly to Kamar-Taj.

Let S.H.I.E.L.D. go look for it.

"The Sorcerer Supreme has replied. I will notify you," Fang Yuan said as he stepped through the portal.

At this moment, Natasha suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "By the way, do you know the Iron Guardian? Who is he?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Fang Yuan's face. "I know him, but the surprise has to be revealed by himself."

The next second, the portal closed.

Black Widow immediately swept away her lethargy, got up briskly, and dressed. She had undergone professional training and would never completely lose her ability to resist no matter when.

She found her communicator and dialed Fury's number directly.

"Fury, have you ever heard of Kamar-Taj?"

Walking inside Kamar-Taj, Fang Yuan felt a little guilty.

Whether it was the Alps or the Himalayas, this season was a time of heavy snow.

But Kamar-Taj had magical protection and was as warm as spring.

"Mage Fang Yuan, are you looking for the Sorcerer Supreme?" As soon as he appeared on the training grounds, Mage Hamir came over and asked.

"Ah, not really."

But Hamir bowed his head and said, "The Sorcerer Supreme is waiting for you in the meditation room."

Good grief, the Ancient One had taken the initiative to come looking for him.

Fang Yuan immediately braced himself.

If I have to go, I'll go. At worst, if the Ancient One refuses, I'll just tell S.H.I.E.L.D. that the Sorcerer Supreme didn't agree and sent me alone to test the waters.

Then I'll quickly arrange for the Ancient One's debut; the goal can still be achieved.

"Since you've become my employee, do you think you can run away?" Fang Yuan thought righteously.

He walked toward the Ancient One's meditation room. After he left, Wong curiously approached.

"Father, why are you so polite to him?"

Wong was very puzzled because Fang Yuan looked younger than him. Although he often received guidance from the Sorcerer Supreme, Kamar-Taj didn't place much emphasis on hierarchy.

"How many times have I told you to remain humble? Besides, technically, Mage Fang Yuan is your elder," Hamir responded.

"An elder?" Wong couldn't see it at all. "Was Mage Fang Yuan also held by the Sorcerer Supreme when he was a child?"

"That, I don't know." Hamir shook his head, then added, "But he held me when I was a child."

"Huh?"

Wong was dumbfounded. He stood frozen in place, counting on his fingers, trying to calculate Fang Yuan's age.

Fang Yuan pushed open the door to the meditation room. The Ancient One was sitting inside drinking tea.

"Ahem, so polite, even inviting me for tea."

Fang Yuan plopped down and unceremoniously picked up a cup and drank.

"Kamar-Taj is not suitable to appear in the public eye."

Unexpectedly, the Ancient One's first sentence was about what Fang Yuan wanted to discuss.

"Being overly focused on by the outside World will affect the mages'..."

"You're spying on me!"

Fang Yuan suddenly shouted, directly interrupting the Ancient One's explanation.

"You... big-eyed Sorcerer Supreme, actually peeping at someone else's privacy!" He fully interpreted what it meant to be unreasonable even when in the right; anyway, he just wouldn't listen to what the Ancient One said.

The Ancient One had a good temper. Seeing this, she could only go along with Fang Yuan's meaning: "It is not yet time for Kamar-Taj to be fully exposed to the outside World, but I can promise you to cooperate with your... um, promotion."

"Really?"

Fang Yuan's eyes immediately lit up, and he sat up straight.

"Full cooperation?"

The Ancient One nodded. "As long as it's not excessive."

Fang Yuan was overjoyed.

It was the same promotion, but whether the subject cooperated or not made a World of difference in the effect.

Originally, Fang Yuan had expected that the Ancient One would definitely not cooperate with him, and he would have to rely entirely on his own one-sided promotion of the Sorcerer Supreme's prestige.

Technically speaking, he would just act as if the Ancient One were already dead.

Just like the Good Big Brother.

But now that the Ancient One expressed her willingness to cooperate fully, that would be fun.

The Sorcerer Supreme at my disposal?

Ahem.

Fang Yuan shook this dangerous thought out of his head and immediately patted his chest in guarantee. "Of course not. Our All Heavens Vought Company is honest with all customers. We are definitely not like those scumbags in the same industry!"

Well, the Ancient One was not a child in age, nor an old man in appearance, and even if he cheated her, it wouldn't be breaking his word.

"In that case, the script will have to be scrapped and rewritten," Fang Yuan thought, rubbing his chin.

In his original plan, he would use the S.H.I.E.L.D. connection to participate in the Thor plot and build his reputation by helping Earth resolve the crisis as a mage.

But now that the Ancient One was willing to cooperate, everything would be different.

He planned to leave all the highlight moments to the Ancient One and build up her reputation first!

"I'm only a C+ Rank employee. How can I compete for resources with an S-Rank?" he thought decisively.

That's right, in the face of rewards, Fang Yuan could even despise himself.

"In that case, the Destroyer will be left for the Ancient One to deal with. It's just that Loki might be beaten to tears if he encounters the Sorcerer Supreme as soon as he arrives on Earth?"

Fang Yuan kept calculating. He didn't even drink his tea and ran back to reformulate his plan.

Amidst his surprise, he didn't notice at all whether it was too unusual for the Ancient One to suddenly agree to this.

The Ancient One smiled as she watched Fang Yuan rush out, then calmly took a sip of tea. What she was thinking in her heart, only she would know for the time being.
