In a pub in Manhattan in New York, Lu Yuan, Natasha, and Hawkeye sat down in a row at the bar.

Hawkeye was acting as the fence between Lu Yuan and Natasha.

Lu Yuan raised his cup, looked at Natasha, who was sitting on the other side and said. “Beauty, I just want to drink and have a chat with someone because I’m bored. I don’t think you need to be that vigilant, right?”

She didn’t think that he wanted to do something, right?

She was thinking too much. He was not the kind of person who forced himself on people. Otherwise, did Natasha really think a single Hawkeye could stop him?

Hawkeye’s full name was Clint Barton. Hearing Lu Yuan’s obvious disdain, he could not help but smile bitterly.

Natasha, on the other hand, didn’t care at all. She was sipping a cocktail while looking at the band not far away.

This bar was playing soothing music, not the kind of chaotic music that seemed to be disco-like dance music.

That was why she liked to come here to relax when she had a break.

Lu Yuan shrugged and saw that Natasha seemed to have a prejudice against him, so he decided to talk to Hawkeye Barton. “Are you married?”

Barton, who was about to drink, almost choked himself.

Where did this neighborhood aunt come from?

“Not yet,” Barton lied.

According to the timeline, Barton should be married, and he might have given birth to his first daughter as well.

Barton knew that as an agent, and as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent at that, he had countless enemies around the world.

Therefore, he protected his family so well that even his companions did not know that he had a family.

Fury had helped him with that cover. Apart from Fury, only Natasha knew about his little home at the moment.

The safe house was neither in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s records nor could it be locked with satellites. It was on a remote country farm that had almost no internet.

This was also the reason why Ultron was unable to lock the location.

Lu Yuan did not care if Barton was telling the truth. He smiled and said, “If you’re not married, you’d better have a few more children while you’re young. Oh right, don’t look for someone who can’t give birth.”

Natasha frowned deeply. She stopped drinking the wine in her hand and slammed the table.

It was true that Natasha couldn’t have children.

Natasha used to be an elite agent of the Red House.

The female agents who graduated from the Red House had to go through a major process to prevent them from having feelings for other people or from having accidents, so the female agents would be subjected to sterilization surgery.

Moreover, it was the type that was extremely thorough. It would remove a certain organ.

How did Lu Yuan know about this?

He naturally knew about it because he watched the movie.

He just did it on purpose. Aren’t you ignoring me? Then I’ll stimulate you.

Barton understood Natasha’s worst pain. Natasha liked children, but she could never have children of her own.

However, he thought that Lu Yuan did not know this, so he did not blame him. Instead, he raised his glass and changed the topic. He asked Lu Yuan to have a drink and then talked about something else.

“I heard that Fury came looking for you? How was it? Did you agree?” Barton asked Lu Yuan about the Avengers plan.

Lu Yuan’s answer was, of course, no.

“Why?” Barton was surprised.

Lu Yuan shrugged: “Why agree? I told you, right? I’m not going to sell my life to one of your countries.”

He would neither join S.H.I.E.L.D. nor the Avengers. Want him to sell his life to the United States? Don’t even think about it.

Lu Yuan even wanted to blow the United States with one punch more than once. How could they ask him to sell his life to the United States?

From Lu Yuan’s point of view, the United States was the source and culprit of all the chaos. Whether it was in the real world or in various works, perhaps only the United States considers itself the savior of the world, right?

Even if he was joking, he had to be self-aware, alright?

On the other side, Natasha could no longer hold back. She was the one who was in charge of persuading Lu Yuan to sign. At this moment, she interrupted him, “The Avengers isn’t working for anyone. They’re a special operations team, which will only move when necessary.”

Lu Yuan spread out his hands in helplessness. Sister, you’re the one who is being fooled.

Didn’t the Avengers work when they uncovered Hydra and destroyed S.H.I.E.L.D.?

What made Lu Yuan most speechless was that he had already pulled a Hydra member out of S.H.I.E.L.D. but judging from Nick Fury, Coulson, and Natasha’s attitude, they did not seem to suspect that more Hydra members were hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D.

They thought that it was just a coincidence, but they never suspected that without the cover of the higher-ups, how did a guy who dared to tattoo his body sneak in?

Someone must have given him the green light.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with Lu Yuan. In his opinion, it was better for these guys to die. He would only applaud if the United States was wiped out.

In any case, Lu Yuan would protect the people and things he cares about. If Hydra dared to provoke him, he would kill them one by one.

Therefore, Lu Yuan didn’t care and couldn’t be bothered to say anything.

“If you don’t want to agree, why did you ask me to come out?” Natasha, on the other hand, wasn’t happy. She had been angered by Lu Yuan’s words earlier, so now she couldn’t help but stand up and glare at him.

Why did she come here to drink with him? He is a bastard, okay?

Lu Yuan scratched his head: “Beauty, have mercy on me. I am really homeless today.”

“Puff,” Barton couldn’t hold it anymore. He sprayed a mouthful of wine and sneaked a few glances at both of them.

Natasha was so angry that her temples throbbed, and her head started aching.

They had nothing to do with each other, but judging from his flirtatious tone, those who didn’t know would think that she was going to take him to her house tonight.

“Why don’t you come with me?” Barton asked Lu Yuan. The reason why he was called out so quickly by Natasha was because he had just completed a mission and he did not have time to return to his safe house. He was staying at a nearby hotel.

Lu Yuan glanced at Barton with disdain in his eyes.

Barton became so angry that he spread his hands. He didn’t want to care about it anymore.

The three of them just sat there and kept drinking, but they didn’t say anything.

Barton and Natasha had a good relationship. They were old friends, and Barton’s family even treated Natasha as a family member.

However, there were some things that they could not talk about in front of Lu Yuan, such as missions or Barton’s family. These were secrets.

In the end, Lu Yuan had lost his interest in wine.

If he had known earlier that this would happen, he would have gone to a random bar. Perhaps he could have found a date and a place to stay at night.

He didn’t lack money, but he didn’t want to be alone. That was too pitiful.

But looking at the current situation, it might be better for him to be alone.

Just as he was thinking that maybe it was time to leave.

Suddenly, the pub shook violently.

Did an earthquake occur?

In the next moment, a huge green figure broke through the wall and made a human-shaped hole in it.

Lu Yuan stood up and subconsciously shouted, “Hulk?”
