Chapter 7

Who knew that after all that bluffing, there would actually be some benefits!

As for the so-called "Dark Forest Theory"...

Even if Earth broadcasts countless signals, Asgard is protecting it, and Earth also has the Supreme Sorcerer, the Ancient One, watching over it.

In one word: mess around as much as you want

Vex appeared in front of Natasha.

"Your S.H.I.E.L.D. must have a lot of powerful weapons, right?" Vex said with a grin.

Natasha's eyes were full of suspicion!

"What are you planning?"

Weapons and people are different.

The more women Vex has, the more he binds himself to Earth.

But weapons...

Who knows where they'll be used?

"Don't worry, I won't take them for free," Vex smiled. "An equal exchange: information, employment, rescue, whatever you need."

Well... that seemed acceptable.

Vex's combat power was obvious.

A fair trade is better than someone with no desires at all.

"The deal is fine, but no large quantities, only a few types at most."

"Sure, I wasn't planning on taking too many anyway." Vex agreed easily.

After all...

His family wasn't large yet.

Stockpiling too many weapons without people to use them would only serve as a backup, and the rewards wouldn't be too high.

Now that everything was out in the open, Vex wasn't planning on heading back to eat. He turned to Natasha.

"When can I get that ID you promised?"

He was in a hurry to marry Lewis and see what reward the system would give.

"Oh, right!"

"Women on your planet probably value ceremony too, right?"

"Help me plan the proposal."

Natasha: "..."

As long as there's no world to save, S.H.I.E.L.D. is extremely efficient.

Private movie screening, luxurious decor, candlelit dinner, and finally, a seamless proposal with the ring.

Even the speech for the proposal was already prepared.

But Vex didn't use it; he had prepared his own.

He gazed at Lewis, who was covering her mouth in surprise.

Sincerely, he said, "My mission is to grow my family, which means I'm destined to have many, many women in the future."

"I can't give you my only love, but I can promise you that this love will never expire."

"Will you spend your life with me?"

Lewis was in shock!

Though she was somewhat of a hopeless romantic and had walked right into this, still...

They had only known each other for a day!

And now...

He was proposing already?

The pace was as fast as if...

They'd be having children tomorrow?

But still...

The person proposing was a handsome, mysterious, and powerful alien!

Who could resist that?

Without hesitation, Lewis nodded and extended her hand for Vex to slip the diamond ring onto her finger.

Then they kissed passionately!

With the [Horse Talisman] for healing, even after a passionate night, Lewis was still full of energy.

In fact...

If Vex wanted, "every hit would draw blood" was definitely an option!

...

While Vex enjoyed a night of bliss, Natasha and Barton kept watch nearby.

"His personality is decent, but he holds grudges," Barton warned. "When Dr. Erik merely speculated about him, his attitude changed. If he finds out he's been deceived... it could be worse than dealing with Tony Stark."

No wonder they call him "Hawkeye"

His observation skills were sharp.

Natasha gave a wry smile.

"The director's plan this time was to have me... stay close to him at all costs!"

"But I failed."

"The way he looks at me is no different from how he looks at you."

"That astrophysicist who said she's going to find Thor is even more attractive to him than I am."

She touched her stomach with her right hand.

The reason...

She had a guess.

As a spy trained by the Red Room, she had undertaken countless missions and made sacrifices.

And...

To avoid complications, she had her uterus removed early on.

She had no ability to bear children.

For someone like Vex, whose mission is to "grow the family," wouldn't she be no different from a man?

As the person who recruited Natasha into S.H.I.E.L.D., Barton knew this information well, but he was powerless to change it.

Suddenly, he remembered...

Vex had mentioned that he could cure even disabilities completely?

Then...

Wouldn't that mean Natasha's missing uterus could be restored too?

...

The next day, Vex was awakened by the gentle touch of Lewis.

He moved away from her for a moment, took a deep breath, and rolled over to open his system notification.

After successfully proposing last night, S.H.I.E.L.D. had registered his marriage.

[Congratulations to the host for marrying "Daisy Lewis". For providing ample nutrition to the family's future generations, you have been awarded the "Human Enhancement Serum KW89"!]

——————————

Name: Human Enhancement Serum KW89

Grade: D-level

Description: Enhances cells to increase physical abilities by 3 to 12 times!

PS: "Are you lucky or unlucky? Take a sip and find out!"

——————————

Vex: "..."

So the enhancement serum's probability wasn't whether it worked, but how much it worked?

Fine.

At least it was safe to use, with no side effects.

With a thought, a golden serum appeared floating in front of Vex, catching him off guard.

Wait...

Just one?

Should he use it for himself or for Lewis?

Obviously...

He was going to use it for himself first!

With the [12 Talismans] being an A-level item, the upper limit wasn't low.

If Vex's base physical strength was "1", the [12 Talismans] multiplied that by "100".

So now it was: "1×100=100";

If Vex's physical strength increased even by the lowest 3x,

His power would soar to "300"!

"I'll just get more for you later."

Vex took the Serum KW89 and was about to open it when...

He caught a glimmer of gold in the corner of his eye.

Wait a second!

Didn't the Treasure of the King have a Recycle feature?

So...
