A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 44 Recruiting the Black Widow

Inside the apartment living room, Levi and Tony, both dressed in their battle suits, were staring at each other intently.

Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson, sitting opposite her, was leisurely sipping her coffee with her legs crossed.

If an outsider saw this, they would probably think that Scarlett Johansson was interrogating two tin cans.

Instead of the two of them interrogating her.

"Hey you two, have you decided what you want to ask me?" Scarlett Johansson began.

“Yeah, so say it!” Levi said, looking at Tony.

"Isn't this something you should be doing?" Tony retorted.

"No, aren't you the best at dealing with women? I'm giving you a chance!" Li Wei said with a surprised look.

“But this isn’t about flirting, is it? And didn’t you remind me to keep my distance from her?” Tony said matter-of-factly.

Li Wei was immediately speechless.

Okay, I'll do it.

It's not like this is the first time they've fooled someone!
This time, however, he doesn't have to be a charlatan anymore.

Because all of Natasha's information had been collected during this period.

Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson, listening to the two men, felt a little happy and also relaxed her guard a little.

These two are quite interesting.

However, she could also tell that these two people must be extraordinary.

They probably didn't mean her any harm; they likely wanted her to do something herself.

If the price is right, it's not something I can't consider.

Although she was under the control of the Red House, Scarlett Johansson was now consciously starting to secretly save money on her own.

After all, buying equipment for yourself costs money.

The items from the red house are fine for completing tasks, but for other things... well...

But to her surprise, Li Wei then delivered a royal flush.

“Natasha Arianovna Romanov!” Li Wei shouted.

“Yes, it’s me!” Natasha raised an eyebrow.

However, without saying a word, Li Wei tossed a document to her and it landed in front of her.

"What is this?" Natasha frowned as she looked at the document, a very bad premonition suddenly rising in her heart for some reason.

"How much do you know about your family of origin?" Li Wei asked.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know!" Natasha said coldly upon hearing this.

"Is it because your mother abandoned you on the street like trash?" Li Wei didn't care at all and continued to poke at Natasha's lungs.

After all, the angrier they are now, the deeper their hatred for Drekoff will be later.

"What do you want to say?" Natasha stared at Levi with an extremely gloomy gaze, as if trying to see through the Iron Man suit.

“What if I told you it was a lie?” Levi said, staring at Natasha’s murderous gaze.

"A lie? What do you mean?" Natasha was taken aback.

“You were selected by a Red House program that assesses a baby’s genetic potential!” Li Wei said.

“No, that can’t be…” Natasha instantly understood what Levi meant. If what he said was true, it meant she wasn’t abandoned by her parents, but taken away by the Red House. But they clearly told her she had been abandoned…

“Take a look. This document contains your parents’ information. Although your father gave up the search shortly after you disappeared, your mother never gave up!” Li Wei pointed to the document.

This news was actually told to Black Widow by Melina in the Black Widow movie.

However, it was through this information that Frank discovered this information about Black Widow's family background during his investigation of Drekoff.

Scarlett Johansson's hands trembled slightly as she opened the document.

Looking at the photo inside, at the woman with the same red hair as her, but who looked quite haggard, Scarlett Johansson's tears began to fall uncontrollably.

"Where...where is she?" Scarlett Johansson asked in a trembling voice.

“Unfortunately, because she has never given up looking for you, Drekoff believes that her existence is a potential threat to the Red Room…you know!” Levi explained regretfully, and to convince Black Widow, he added, “I know this information may not be enough to convince you completely, but your foster mother and teacher, Melina, also knows about this.”

"Melina knows about this too?" Natasha's voice was icy.

She originally said she only believed six of these pieces of information.

But when Li Wei mentioned Melina's name, she immediately believed him to be 80% certain.

As for the remaining two points, she would need to ask Melina herself!
“We’ve found Melina’s address; perhaps you can ask her directly!” Levi confirmed.

“What do you want?” Natasha looked up at Levi and Tony and asked.

“It’s very simple. To deal with the Red House, we need an inside man!” Li Wei didn’t mince words and said directly.

"Are you so sure I would betray the Red House?" Natasha wasn't too surprised by Levi's request.

After thinking it over, I guess that's her most valuable quality.

Otherwise, the few people around her who were arresting her would have been enough for other matters; there was no need for her at all.

However, she quietly removed the price she had originally planned to offer.

Because the fact that the other party provided clear information about her background is enough.

If she originally wanted to leave the Red House, it was only for her own sake.

Now there's another reason: to avenge his mother, whom he never met.

Even though she never experienced a single moment of maternal love, knowing that the other party had never given up on her was enough for Natasha to avenge them.

“Yelena Belova! She’s suffering the same things you’ve suffered in the Red House. Don’t you want to save her?” Levi didn’t answer, but asked in return.

Natasha was speechless.

"I'm done talking, it's your turn!" Seeing that Natasha didn't say anything more, Levi tapped Tony next to him.

“Ms. Romanov, you should know me, right?” Tony nodded and then opened his mask.

"Tony Stark?" Natasha was genuinely surprised to see this face that was constantly in the international news.

“That’s right, it’s me. As long as you can help us eliminate the Red Room and the culprit Drake, I can provide you, your sister Yelena, and the other Black Widows who are willing to leave the Red Room with new identities and a certain amount of money, so that you can have a new life.” Tony didn’t waste any words and made a very generous promise.

Neither of them directly tried to recruit Natasha.

Because the nature of this kind of thing is different when it is brought up beforehand versus afterward!

"Let's go find Melina first!" Although Natasha was very tempted, she wanted to verify Melina's background more thoroughly first.

“This was originally our next step in the plan!” Levi and Tony exchanged a smile and said.
