Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Why Smell the Wildflowers When You Have Flowers at Home? (Extra Chapter for the Increasingly Distant Star Cat)

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. secret Base, Nick Fury looked at the stack of intelligence reports about Lauren on his desk with a furious expression.

Then, in a voice close to a roar, he yelled at the group of Agents in the office.

"Motherfucker, this is the intelligence you collected about Lauren before?

What pampered young master, what family's troublemaker, what piece of mud that can't be supported.

If this kid is a piece of mud, then what are we? Are we maggots in the toilet?

It's because of your previous intelligence errors that this series of fiascoes happened later.

Damn it, it's a good thing I wore a bulletproof vest before, otherwise you standing here right now would be holding a memorial service for me."

After returning from Morgan Manor, Nick Fury fell into a coma due to severe internal injuries and was later sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The emergency treatment lasted for a week, and he had just woken up from the coma two days ago.

After resting for a day upon waking up, he rushed back to work and immediately held a meeting to scold people.

It has to be said, his title of 'Motherfucker Man' is truly well-deserved!

"Sir, don't be angry, the Doctor said that you should avoid getting angry during this time, as it will affect your recovery."

Coulson stood aside and quickly reminded him.

Nick Fury sighed deeply, stopped scolding, and turned to look at Natasha.

"Natasha, while I was in a coma, did that kid do anything out of line?"

Natasha shook her head and said, "Not only has nothing happened, but Morgan Manor has been unusually quiet.

According to the messages sent back by the frontline Agents we dispatched, Lauren hasn't left his home for a week."

"He hasn't left his home for a week? What is that kid secretly plotting now?

But given his nature, he definitely isn't brewing anything good.

Tell the frontline Agents to keep a close watch on him from a distance, and report any special circumstances to me immediately."

"Are you sure we should continue monitoring? If Lauren discovers us, the consequences could be very serious."

"We're just monitoring his manor from a distance, he won't find out.

This kid is a huge threat, and if he's not supervised, no one knows what crazy things he might do.

Oh, right, from now on, list him as an S-level dangerous person!"

"What? You want to list him as an S-level dangerous person? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it, it's just raising his threat level, it's not like we're actually going to do anything to him, just do as I say."

"Okay." Hearing Nick Fury say this, although Natasha didn't quite agree in her heart, she still honestly did as she was told.

Just then, Nick Fury changed the subject.

"Oh, right, yesterday Stark Group sent a few invitations for tonight's technology achievement exhibition party to the Military, and they sent me one.

However, due to my physical condition, I can't attend, so this spot is yours, Natasha, you attend on my behalf."

"Okay." Taking the invitation handed to her by Nick Fury, Natasha nodded and agreed.

"I heard that kid Lauren will also be attending tonight, Natasha, seize the opportunity.

Although that kid is dangerous, I have to say, his own strength and his family's power are indeed very helpful to us.

If we can recruit him to our side, the Avengers I'm forming will be even stronger.

And I see that kid as a veritable lecher, your beauty might have some effect on him.

If you can take him down, you'll have rendered a great service, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly then."

Hearing Nick Fury's words, Natasha's expression was very complicated.

She hadn't expected her direct superior, Nick Fury, to actually suggest that she use her beauty to handle Lauren.

Although she had used this tactic many times before, it was the first time she was ordered to sell her looks.

"Sir, if you asked me to deal with someone else, I'd have some confidence.

But if it's Lauren, honestly, I have no confidence at all.

He doesn't lack women around him, and those two women are far more beautiful than I am, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task!"

"It's okay, just try your best.

Although you are not as good-looking as those two women, what if that kid has a unique taste?

You know, men are fickle.

Why smell the wildflowers when you have flowers at home? Even if you're just a morning glory, there's still a possibility of being picked."

"..." Natasha.

"No, Sir, why do I feel like you're scolding me?"

"No, I absolutely didn't mean that, I was just giving an example, alright, it's getting late, you should go to the party."

"Okay!"

Hearing Nick Fury's words, although Natasha was unhappy in her heart, she still obediently prepared to attend the party.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was 7 o'clock in the evening.

In the banquet hall of the Stark Group building in New York, people were bustling about.

Since Tony Stark announced that he was Iron Man, the stock price of Stark Group had soared.

And Tony Stark, already famous in New York as a playboy, became even more renowned, instantly becoming the most watched superstar globally.

The always arrogant Tony Stark naturally enjoyed such a result.

He liked this feeling of being the center of attention the most.

And to take this experience to the extreme, and also to promote Stark Group's latest green energy products.

He held this technology achievement exhibition party.

But while it was called a technology achievement exhibition, it was actually just to showcase his Iron Man Suit.

After all, Tony Stark had closed the weapon manufacturing department a month ago, which caused the stock price, which had been soaring, to plummet to rock bottom again.

So at this time, he had to inject a strong stimulant to reverse the group's declining trend.

In the top-floor office of the Stark building, Tony Stark swirled his red wine glass, looking at the stunning night view of Greater New York through the floor-to-ceiling windows, his expression somewhat complex.

"Tony, the invited guests are almost all here, shouldn't you prepare a bit and show your face?" Pepper Potts stood behind Tony Stark and asked.

"Hmm, it's time to show my face, but I don't know why, my right eyelid keeps twitching, I always have a bad feeling, as if something bad is going to happen."

"Tony, you've been staying up late every day doing research. If I were you, let alone my eyelids twitching non-stop, my heart would probably stop altogether. Don't scare yourself. This is a sign you haven't rested well."

"Perhaps! Oh, right, have the Morgan Family arrived?"

"Yes, and it's Young Master Morgan himself who came. As the company's second largest shareholder, you should go and see him."

"Hmm, indeed, let's go. Let's go down and see!"

At the entrance of the extremely luxurious banquet hall, Lauren, dressed in a black suit, slowly stepped out of a stretched Lincoln.

Behind him, Tifa, dressed in formal attire, followed closely. Tonight, Tifa was his only companion.

However, not long after he got out of the car, a pleasant voice called out his name.

"Hey, Lauren!"

Hearing someone call him, Lauren immediately turned his head to look.

Instantly, he saw a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed girl jogging towards him.

And the person who came was none other than his high school classmate, Gwen Stacy.
