"Moreover, Miss Jessica Jones is a nice person in the area where I live."
"Finally, I want to find the people who killed my parents."
Revenge? Natasha nodded.
"So you saw the darkest side of Hell's Kitchen and wrote Fifty Shades of Grey? By the way, that's a good novel, I really like it."
Natasha raised an eyebrow, her eyes subtly conveying her affection.
Hao Longtao's heart was pounding.
She truly lives up to her name, Black Widow.
Hao Longtao laughed and said:
"It's nothing more than a means of making money. If you had seriously looked at the changes in social culture in the Western world over the years, you would have found that the whole world is degenerating."
"The United States' trampling on the freedom of its people has distorted the values of many people."
"The public's hearts are twisted; ordinary novel plots can no longer attract them. They need to break the mold to touch their indifferent hearts, to make their brains release tocopherol rapidly, and to stimulate them to obtain extra pleasure."
"When their inner expectations are full, forming a social phenomenon and bringing about a chain reaction, my novel will definitely become a hit."
"In short, they want excitement, and I want money."
After some analysis, Natasha glanced at Hao Longtao a few more times.
She knew that Hao Longtao was a top student at Zhongcheng High School, and his grades were always number one.
This shows that Hao Longtao is very smart.
In retrospect, Hao Longtao was not only intelligent, but also adept at winning people's hearts.
Before that, Natasha suddenly remembered that Hao Longtao had bet on Stark Industries shares.
They naturally had information about Hao Longtao.
He even thoroughly investigated how he leveraged all his money twentyfold to short Stark Industries shares.
This one bet made Hao Longtao a billionaire in the United States.
"Tony Stark is back, and everyone expects Stark Industries to skyrocket, but you've gone against the market and won everything?"
Natasha asked curiously.
"No, I only saw Tony's face on the news. He looked terrible and had serious health problems. I was just betting that Tony's physical condition wouldn't allow him to continue as the head of Stark Industries."
Hao Longtao thought to himself: I can't exactly tell you that I know the plot.
If word gets out, I'll really become a prophet.
"Natasha, my friend, eat quickly, and then rest."
Hao Longtao served Natasha another bowl of porridge.
“But I’m even more puzzled by your deep understanding of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Natasha launches a surprise attack.
After hearing this, Hao Longtao silently drank his porridge without replying.
Can you tell me?
Hao Longtao laughed:
"It just shows that your S.H.I.E.L.D., as an intelligence agency, is riddled with leaks."
After hearing this, Natasha silently ate her breakfast.
She already knew from this answer that Hao Longtao was treating her as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, not as a friendly chat.
"A mysterious island in the Atlantic Ocean is frozen over. Hao, I want to know the answer."
"Yes, we encountered many ancient species on this island, such as fire-breathing giant pythons, Tyrannosaurus Rex covered in steel-like scales, and countless other unnatural species." Hao Longtao's smile widened. "I don't know which laboratory set up a species biological laboratory on this deserted island in the Atlantic Ocean. I was worried that these monsters would run around, so I helped you freeze the gambling and prostitution."
Hao Longtao did not deny it, but he provided S.H.I.E.L.D. with information that was of greater interest to them, thus diverting their attention.
Natasha looked somewhat surprised; S.H.I.E.L.D. was unaware of these matters.
Chapter 49: Closing out positions and earning billions of dollars, Black Widow is finally mine.
Supernatural biosphere?
This shocked Natasha.
Did S.H.I.E.L.D. not receive any information about this?
"Don't always focus on me. I'm harmless to the world. After all, I'm a rich man and I want to enjoy wealth and luxury."
Hao Longtao showed a helpless expression:
"In your perception, my power is immense, and it has already threatened the lives of many ordinary people. But think about it from another perspective: are human nuclear weapons harmless to humanity itself? Are human biochemical experiments harmless? These are harms created by humanity itself."
Natasha curled her lip. "You're an ice demon, practically a mobile nuclear weapon."
How dare you claim to be harmless?
Hao Longtao seemed to see right through Natasha's thoughts.
"When have you ever seen me use supernatural abilities on ordinary people? Triads deal drugs, commit murder, traffic people, and sell weapons. Their existence harms others and is a cancer on society."
“Kingpin, the emperor of the underworld. If the Triads have any grudge against me, then Kingpin has no grudge against me, and I have no intention of dealing with him. But his evil hands should not be turned against me. I am just acting in self-defense.”
Hao Longtao shrugged helplessly.
Natasha was speechless and rolled her eyes at Hao Longtao.
"The United States has laws."
Natasha said softly.
"The law applies to most people, but it only applies to the order and rules of the majority. As for how dark the world is in private, Natasha, you have experienced it firsthand, you understand it better than anyone else."
Hao Longtao leaned back in his chair, relaxing his posture.
"But your behavior..."
Natasha wanted to say something more.
“My actions, my existence, have touched upon the ruling class of certain vested interests, and their right to exist is being challenged, such as S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Hao Longtao interrupted Natasha.
"I think we should end this discussion about something unpleasant."
Natasha understood perfectly well that the greater one's power, the more stubborn one becomes.
The same applies to Hao Longtao.
The other party just didn't have a particularly crazy or even twisted mentality.
Natasha could see that.
He felt very calm.
But beneath the calm surface of the lake lurks a deep sense of crisis.
They seem wary of the world, as if it's fraught with danger and they lack a sense of security.
Ice Demon Hao Longtao already possesses such immense power, so why does he still feel so insecure?
The thought crossed Natasha's mind.
Could there be even more terrifying, unknown forces in this world?
Just like Hao Longtao himself, his acquisition of power came so suddenly.
If it weren't for revenge, he would have continued to hide himself.
But what made him change and unleash a massacre on the Triads?
Cleaning Hell's Kitchen.
Furthermore, he possesses power without warning.
It's as if he suddenly possessed powerful, terrifying freezing abilities that rivaled those of a god.
“Natasha, you should get some rest.” Hao Longtao gave up arguing. He knew that only if Natasha had experienced the despair of the future would she realize that the world needed a powerful force to protect it. “I am glad you came, but I don’t want you to enter my home with a guarded heart.”
The gentle voice warmed Natasha's heart.
"Then, my knight, please protect me well while I rest."
Natasha stood up and stretched.
The oversized shirt pulled up.
The sensitive area, barely visible, inadvertently caught Hao Longtao's eye.
It was as if a sea siren was uttering a seductive voice, igniting the desires within him.
Hao Longtao could only transform his heart into an icy core to resist the turbulent desires within him.
“Princess Natasha, it is my honor.”
Hao Longtao stood up and performed a medieval knightly salute.
Natasha let out a pleasant laugh and went upstairs to the second floor.
Hao Longtao did not follow.
He knew Natasha would make a phone call now.
He will pass on some of the information he hears from him to Nick Fury, the bald man.
In fact, Hao Longtao had considered that if he were in the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he would be even more ruthless than Nick Fury.
He will stop at nothing to take control of situations he believes he cannot control and eliminate all potential enemies.
But Hao Longtao kept thinking about it.
His inner world is not strong enough to reach that point.
Murder is actually the simplest method, but it is also the most brutal and comes at the greatest cost.
Hao Longtao turned on his computer.
I logged into Interactive Brokers.
Tony Stark has recently recovered from his injuries and has regained control of Stark Industries. It is unclear how he has managed to acquire the shares held by Iron Monger Stanislav.
Moreover, taking advantage of the low stock price, they are buying back Stark Industries shares.
Stark Industries' stock price is soaring.
Tony is currently the most popular person in the United States.
Even the president pales in comparison to him.
Hao Longtao even suspected that if this guy were to run for president, no one would be his match.
But this arrogant guy was patrolling and performing everywhere in his Mark armor.
He organizes high society parties, as if trying to make up for the time he had lost.
Because of Tony Stark's way of doing things, the market's understanding of the future of Stark Industries is becoming increasingly clear.
The Mark armor has too many technologies.
Artificial intelligence, power systems, and the arc reactor that everyone is watching.
Hao Longtao bought Stark Industries stock at the lowest price, and in less than a month, the stock price has reached an all-time high of $21.1 per share.
His long position account balance has reached $150.4 billion.
Short-selling institutions have already suffered huge losses; they've not only failed to close their positions, but have even been wiped out.
"It's time to go out."
Close the position!!!
Hao Longtao immediately put all his long contracts into the market.
It was immediately traded in large quantities.
His total account assets have reached a staggering $175 billion.
Of course, after deducting the leveraged funds of 4 billion, as well as handling fees, including interest, and the share price of 1.07 million shares, Hao Longtao actually earned 10 billion US dollars.
