Chapter 32 A Beautiful Woman's Night Visit! Natasha's Questions!
One o'clock in the morning.
Horn drove back to the seaside estate.
"Young master, a lady says she's your friend and has been waiting for you."
As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Hailun immediately came to greet him.
"wait for me?"
Horn paused for a moment, then thought, who else could it be but Natasha?
He immediately ordered, "I know, go prepare ten late-night snacks for me, I'm hungry."
Previously, at Tony's place, I had a steak. Putting aside the fact that Tony's appetite has increased a lot due to his improved physical condition, the steak was not to his liking at all. After finishing one piece, he didn't want to eat a second one.
If it weren't for testing the "Life Return" technique, he would never have let Zhao Hailun prepare Western food. After testing and discovering that Chinese food had a far greater restorative effect than Western food, he decisively gave the rest to the servants, leaving none for himself.
The ten late-night snacks that Zhao Hailun prepared were nine of his own. Killing the enemies who ambushed him earlier hadn't cost him much energy, but killing the bodyguards outside Obadiahstan required him to use ten portions of the energy-consuming [Storm Kick] to finish the battle quickly. Afterwards, he didn't use the food stored in his spatial ring to recover his energy and went straight home.
"Okay, I'll go tell the kitchen right away."
Having witnessed Horn's appetite at lunchtime, Zhao Hailun didn't ask any more questions this time. She simply agreed and turned to go to the kitchen.
"Hmm? They waited for me until they went to the bedroom? That's interesting."
Horn looked into the living room, but not finding Natasha, he used Observation Haki to cover the entire main house and immediately found her in the master bedroom. This made him think of something, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
He immediately prepared to go upstairs to find her, but after taking only a few steps, he suddenly realized something, stopped, looked down at his body, and sniffed. Sure enough, he smelled a faint scent of blood, left behind from killing the bodyguard at the door earlier. He had been highly focused and hadn't paid any attention to avoiding the splattered blood, so he inevitably got some on himself.
"We've already waited a long time, so another ten minutes or so shouldn't make a difference."
He smiled, turned and walked to the bathroom, took a leisurely shower to wash away the smell of blood, changed into a blue-gray bathrobe, and then went upstairs and pushed open the door to the master bedroom.
"I thought you weren't planning to come back tonight."
Natasha, who was in her bedroom looking around at photos of Horn as a child, heard the noise and turned around.
Why would you think that?
Horn turned to look at her, a smile in his eyes.
"They're avoiding me, afraid I'll come looking for them."
Natasha stepped forward, naturally raised her finger, and touched Horn's well-defined pectoral muscles under his robe, sliding it down the lines.
Only then did she notice that Horn, who had just finished showering, still had water droplets dripping from his hair, and the stray hairs on his forehead naturally fell with the water droplets. The masculine scent emanating from his body almost made her unable to resist moving closer. Zi Guang was completely attracted by his charm, and her breathing became rapid without her realizing it.
"Afraid you'll come knocking on your door? You really overestimate yourself."
Horn raised an eyebrow, and, not to be outdone, extended a finger and lifted Natasha's delicate, fair chin.
Because of their height difference, only in this way could their eyes easily meet, and at that very moment, a raging fire ignited in their hearts almost simultaneously.
Natasha gasped, then lunged at Horn, hooking her legs around him like an octopus, before lowering her head and pressing her lips to her chest.
After the battle.
The two washed up and went to the restaurant together.
"Coming to see me so late, you probably didn't come just for this, did you?"
At the dining table, Horn ate his food heartily, not forgetting to look up and ask Natasha, who was sitting next to him.
He remembered inviting Natasha to stay during the day, but she clearly refused. Why would she change her mind and come back if there was nothing wrong?
"What do you think? Wasn't it all because of your phone call?"
Speaking of this, Natasha got angry and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
-
"My phone call?"
Horn didn't react for a moment.
"Just call Chief Nick Fury and ask him to handle the situation for you."
Natasha shook her head helplessly and offered a reminder.
"You mean this? This matter has indeed caused you some trouble."
Horn nodded, then asked doubtfully, "But this shouldn't be difficult for you to handle, right? It certainly wouldn't warrant you making a special trip for this, would it?"
"It's not difficult, but it will require dozens of people to clean up the bodies, dozens more to block the roads, and finally dozens more to restore the scene to its original state."
Natasha looked up at him with a smile, counting on her fingers as she spoke.
"Of course, I will reimburse you for all the manpower and resources you have invested, and I will also give an extra bonus to everyone who contributed."
Horn raised an eyebrow and took on all the expenses.
In any case, Obadiah Stanislav will be the one to pay in the end. After all, the money comes from the bodyguards he sent to their deaths, so he will be responsible for their affairs.
"We can afford this amount of money, and we didn't come to you about this."
Natasha breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words and looked away.
"Not that? Then what is it?"
Horn, who was about to get up to pour Natasha a glass of red wine, paused and asked in confusion.
"We want to know why they were there? And it looked like they were ambushing you? According to the investigation, those people are Obadiah Stanislav's bodyguards, were you aware of that?"
Natasha didn't understand why Nick Fury insisted that she investigate this matter. She had a feeling that it involved the Stark Industries' interests, perhaps related to Horn's kidnapping last time.
"So that's what it was about."
Horn suddenly realized, and then simply said, "Obadiastan wants to kill me, it's that simple."
"So, it's very likely he was behind the kidnapping last time too?"
Natasha's eyes narrowed.
"That's right, he did it. Not only that, but Tony was also involved. He orchestrated Tony's kidnapping, and his motives are self-evident."
Horn made no attempt to hide anything and spoke frankly.
"If that's the case, why don't you just kill him and eliminate the threat forever?"
Natasha was even more confused.
With Horn's abilities, even with numerous bodyguards protecting the Obadiahstan villa, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant. So why is he still alive instead of being killed?
After all, the other party had already tried to kill him and his brother Tony Stark twice, and if they didn't kill them, there would only be more trouble later.
"This matter involves many considerations, one of which is the bet you made with your chief, Nick Fury."
He didn't intend to explain the matter in detail to the other party, only revealing the parts related to them.
"That bet?"
This only confused Natasha more.
