756: Chapter 756 One-Eyed Black Egg

They returned home quickly.

“Sit wherever you like.” Clarissa gestured toward the sofa and then sat to one side. As for pouring water? Don't even think about it.

“If you want something to drink, do it yourself; there are some beverages in the fridge,” Clarissa told Agent Coulson.

“That won't be necessary.” Agent Coulson shook his head slightly and sat across from Clarissa. “I came today primarily because I wanted to understand what happened after Tony was kidnapped.

Tony said he was saved by you... Acting on your own like this...”

“Eh, since when is what I do any of your business? I'm not your subordinate.” Clarissa raised a hand, cutting Agent Coulson off.

“Fine, my superior told me to say that.” Agent Coulson shrugged. “I'm just relaying the message. By the way, our Director wants to meet you. Are you free? Shall we set a time?”

“I'm free anytime. There's no time like the present, so let's make it now,” Clarissa said to Agent Coulson.

“So soon... Alright! I'll arrange it immediately!” Agent Coulson couldn't help but be stunned for a moment by Clarissa's words. Right now?

But this was a good thing—efficiency!

Agent Coulson made the arrangements immediately and also sent the message to Nick Fury.

“Fine! Bring her over. Let me meet this visitor from another world.” Nick Fury agreed immediately upon receiving the news. His expression seemed profound and unfathomable as if everything was under his control. Sitting in his Director's office with his hands clasped in front of him, his single eye flickered with a faint light.

An hour later, Clarissa was brought to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Clarissa walked into the office.

She watched the scene before her with amusement in her heart.

The office lighting was quite dim. Behind the desk, the back of a chair faced her.

“That is our Director, Nick Fury,” Agent Coulson introduced him to Clarissa. Natasha accompanied them as well, but after entering, she silently walked to the side to wait.

“You've arrived.” A low voice sounded. Then, the chair swiveled around. Nick Fury still had his hands clasped in front of him, blocking the area below his nose.

As he turned toward the desk, he rested his elbows on it.

His single eye looked at Clarissa's face, which remained radiant even in the dim light.

Clarissa completely ignored Nick Fury's posturing. She walked forward, pulled out the chair in front of her, sat down, and then looked up at him. “Has anyone ever told you, Director Nick Fury, that you're quite the poser?”

“...”

“...”

Natasha silently turned her face away. She couldn't laugh; she absolutely could not laugh right now.

Nick Fury also nearly lost his composure. Looking at Clarissa, his lips twitched as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

“Alright, enough small talk. You can report to me on how you rescued Tony after he was kidnapped.” Nick Fury was indeed the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.; he skipped straight to the main topic without changing his expression.

However, he still used those words to elevate his own position.

“What do you mean 'report'? I'm not your subordinate.” Clarissa raised an eyebrow as she looked at Nick Fury. “One-eyed braised black egg, I'm happy you haven't caused me any trouble, but your way of speaking makes me very unhappy.

You'd better not put on your pathetic Director's airs in front of me. If we're talking about status, I was the King of the World in my own world. Who do you think you are?”

Nick Fury was startled. King of the World? Warning bells immediately rang in his mind; those words revealed quite a lot of information.

“We should have a friendly exchange! As it happens, I'm very interested in your world. I'm curious about Tony's situation—could you tell me about it? And once that's done, could you tell me about your world?” Nick Fury was thick-skinned enough that even though his face darkened from being insulted, he still forced himself to remain calm during the conversation.

It was as if the person Clarissa just insulted wasn't him.

To the side, Natasha and Agent Coulson stood together, exchanging glances from time to time.

Watching the drama—it was great, they loved it, they enjoyed watching it!

“Fine.” Clarissa nodded and then briefly recounted what happened to Tony in the desert, though she didn't reveal too many details.

Nick Fury nodded slightly after listening. He wasn't very concerned with this matter anymore; to him, it just sounded like a story of a beautiful woman saving a hero.

Furthermore, Tony Stark had been rescued by the military, so S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't gain anything. Also, the MK1 that Tony developed had been taken back by Tony himself.

The rest was about the closure of the weapons division, the Stark industry shake-up, and so on.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was already fully aware of these things.

What Nick Fury was more curious about now was Clarissa's world. What kind of world was it exactly?

“My world's technology is not advanced.” Clarissa shook her head slightly. “If I had to categorize it, it's roughly equivalent to your world's Middle Ages. However, life isn't that bad. Especially after my Empire, the Grosster Empire, conquered the whole world.”

Everyone listened quietly.

Clarissa seemed to enter a reminiscent mode, describing past events, and then she moved on to knights and cultivation.

After listening to Clarissa's description for over half an hour, Nick Fury finally spoke:

“You mean the people in your world can Cultivate and are called knights... Can anyone Cultivate to become this kind of knight?!”

Nick Fury looked at Clarissa with eyes glowing.

A superpower that anyone could Cultivate!

Superhuman strength! No human experimentation required! No super-soldier serum needed!

Just cultivation! Cultivation! Even if it takes a bit longer, the numbers would be massive! Anyone could Cultivate!

Even if only one-tenth had the talent to Cultivate, it would still be a huge number!

If he had such a superhuman army in his hands... Heh~ hehe~ hehahahaha!

Nick Fury looked at Clarissa with incredibly fervent eyes.

Especially since Clarissa said that even the lowest-level Apprentice Knight had a physical strength of at least several hundred kilograms.

To become a Formal Knight, not counting that Qi, the physical body alone started at several tons!

Everyone would be a Captain America! And this was without the enhancement of Qi. According to Clarissa, the enhancement of Qi varied from person to person and was related to one's own talent, Cultivation Technique, and cultivation.

It could increase power by more than 2 to 10 times.

Not to mention the existence of Martial Skills that could unleash even stronger Qi!

The power erupted would make taking down ten Captain Americas as easy as pie!

And who was Captain America? He was the 'faith' of America! A legendary figure!

An era, and even more, a spiritual symbol!

Moreover, Captain America was a 'superhuman'!

Yet, in Clarissa's world, any random practitioner could crush Captain America...

How could such power not tempt Nick Fury! How could it not make him envious!
