"Was it intentional, or just a coincidence?"
After leaving the room, Li Chuan couldn't help but ponder.
From Wanda's few sentences after just entering the door, it could be analyzed that Natalie was very easy to get along with, and like Wanda, she enjoyed watching sitcoms. Moreover, whether intentionally or not, she led Wanda to talk a lot about him.
"I'll probe a bit more later. If I still can't be sure, then I'll just have to personally interrogate her tonight."
He wouldn't have been so cautious before, but now Nick Fury probably already suspected him and was likely to send Agents to infiltrate his vicinity to gather intelligence on him.
It could be at his company, or it could be disguised as a neighbor, like now, indirectly obtaining information by contacting Wanda.
The key was that this new neighbor's appearance was very similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s famous all-around Agent, Black Widow. Adhering to the principle of rather killing by mistake than letting go.
A more drastic method was necessary.
Because if it wasn't Black Widow, but another female Agent from S.H.I.E.L.D., or even a HYDRA Agent within S.H.I.E.L.D., then it would definitely pose a threat to Wanda's safety.
Even if she was just an ordinary person, he could compensate in other ways later.
"She's really not here!"
Li Chuan walked to Pietro's door and knocked, finding no response. He shook his head, called Pietro, told him to come home for dinner after work, and then returned to his own house.
"Natalie, you're a guest. How can I let you help? You can just sit there and rest."
"It's fine, I'm just sitting around. Besides, I've spent some time in Russia and I'm very good at Russian cuisine. I can make some for you to try."
"Oh, you're also skilled in Russian cuisine? You must teach me sometime."
Sitting on the sofa, Li Chuan scrutinized Natalie's body, trying to find some flaw in her shapely figure.
However, his gaze might have made Natalie aware, and also misunderstood, as she turned back and gave Li Chuan a fierce glare with her blue eyes, then showed a slightly charming smile.
"As expected, there's a problem. Although her file states she has judo experience, the coordination of her muscles and the power in her movements during action clearly indicate more than just having studied it."
He could still distinguish between the physical performance of a judo beginner and a true judo master when they moved.
Even if Natalie deliberately disguised herself, making it difficult for ordinary people to notice any difference, it couldn't escape his eyes.
Wanda had a very good figure, and Natalie also had a very good figure. But Wanda's was the kind of good figure that was more voluptuous for a normal girl. Setting aside her innate magic abilities, she was a weak woman.
Natalie, however, was different. Hidden beneath her good figure was muscular explosive power even stronger than that of a normal adult man.
"Wind Release: Violent Air Current Dance!"
Getting up and walking to the window opposite the kitchen, Li Chuan secretly formed hand seals and released a D-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu.
Violent Air Current Dance was an auxiliary Ninjutsu with almost no destructive power. It was originally invented to disperse thick fog, and could also amplify the effect of Fire Release, or be used in conjunction with Earth Release.
"Oh dear, what a strong wind!"
A whirlwind erupted from Li Chuan's hand. Under his control, it picked up the napkins and cups from the coffee table in the living room and hurled them towards Natalie, who was peeling potatoes by the kitchen trash can.
"Ouch!"
The napkins and cups hit Natalie squarely on the forehead.
"Natalie, are you alright?!"
Wanda, who was making soup, finally reacted. She quickly put down her spoon and rushed over.
Natalie, covering her bumped forehead, laughed:
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
"You have a cut on your forehead, it's bleeding!"
Wanda saw a trace of blood on Natalie's smooth forehead. She turned to call Li Chuan for the first-aid kit, but found that Li Chuan was already walking over with the kit.
"It seems it's going to rain. Such a strong wind suddenly blew up."
Li Chuan mumbled, quickly taking out disinfectant and bandaging supplies from the first-aid kit.
"It's just a small cut, no need to trouble you two. I can do it myself."
Natalie saw Wanda about to help her bandage it and quickly waved her hand, casually pulling out a napkin to wipe the blood from her forehead, then taking a band-aid from the first-aid kit and sticking it on. She then continued peeling potatoes, her technique appearing very unprofessional.
Li Chuan, meanwhile, feigned concern with Wanda for a few moments, then returned to sit on the living room sofa.
"It seems I was right."
At this point, he was 100% certain that Natalie was not an ordinary person. When the cup and napkin box were thrown at Natalie just now, he noticed that Natalie instinctively made a dodging motion.
However, this movement was halted halfway, forcefully retracted, which led to her being hit.
Now, he just wasn't sure if she was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Black Widow, or another female Agent similar to Black Widow.
But that didn't matter; he would capture her tonight and ask, and then it would naturally become clear.
Hearing that a beautiful new neighbor had appeared, Pietro also returned very eagerly.
After dinner, Li Chuan realized that if he hadn't known Natalie had issues, it would have been very easy to develop a good impression of her.
Because you would find that every word she spoke was very skillful, and communicating with her would make you feel very comfortable, easily making you accept her and treat her as a good friend in your heart.
At least Wanda and Pietro, after the meal, just by looking at their expressions, it was clear they had already considered Natalie a friend.
He believed that in a few more days, Natalie would be able to obtain all the information they knew about Li Chuan from Wanda and Pietro.
"It was truly wonderful being with you all. My smartest decision this year might just be moving here."
After dinner, after chatting for a while longer, Natalie got up to leave.
"Natalie, don't forget we're going shopping together tomorrow!"
Before Natalie entered Mrs. Martha's house, Wanda chased out to remind her.
Upon returning, she asked Pietro:
"What do you think? What do you think of Natalie?"
"Hmm, very good, very pretty, and very easy to get along with."
Pietro coughed and commented, clearly somewhat smitten.
And Wanda also nodded in agreement; she also thought Natalie was a very good girl.
"It's only the first meeting, no need to jump to conclusions so quickly. Many people are great when you first meet them, but you only know if they're truly good after spending some time together.
There's an old saying in China, 'Time reveals a person's heart.'"
Li Chuan patted Pietro's shoulder and smiled, reminding him.
Because if he wasn't mistaken, this new neighbor, Natalie, might be leaving tomorrow, and dating a female Agent was not a good thing.
It would be very difficult to distinguish which of her words were true and which were false.
