Black Widow!
Today, the widowed beauty was wearing a faux two-piece dress—white as the base color, with a light-blue skirt. A diagonally cut hem was layered with knee-length white gauze.
Her smooth, straight thighs were clearly visible.
Compared to when they had met in the bar, her outfit this time looked far more innocent, lively, and playful.
Yet in a casino filled with women wearing tank tops and hot pants, this kind of outfit was far more alluring.
Just how tempting was it?
One glance at Tony Stark standing beside them gave the answer.
The moment Tony saw Black Widow step out, his eyes widened.
"Hello. Although I'm sure you already know who I am, I'd still like to introduce myself. Tony Stark."
"Of course," she replied calmly."In this country, who doesn't know Tony Stark? And I'm Natasha—Natasha Romanoff."
Black Widow made no effort to hide her real name—either because she saw no need to, or because her identity was classified at the highest level and she wasn't afraid of exposure.
She gave Tony a polite nod, then turned to Qin Xiao.
"I had to leave early the last time we met at the bar. I'm sorry about that. Tonight, I'll make it up to you—how about a bet?"
"Deal."
Without hesitation, Qin Xiao extended his arm and let Black Widow hook hers through it.
Wow.
The roulette wheel began to spin.
The small metal ball bounced several times before slowly coming to a stop—on number two.
Seeing such a rare beauty, Tony rushed straight over to Qin Xiao.
He was about to make a sarcastic remark when he noticed the marker had landed on two.
He couldn't help shouting,
"Yes!"
Tony didn't care much about money, but with 38 numbers on an American roulette wheel, winning across all payouts in one go was genuinely exciting.
Clearly, Qin Xiao had been blessed by the presence of a beautiful woman.
Tony could only turn to Happy and ask,
"How many chips did I give him earlier? About $180,000, right? He just won $6.3 million. Qin, you should thank this lovely lady—she gets a share too."
"I've already paid the school fees," Tony continued casually."Split it evenly. Give your share to the girl. Happy, take half the chips and come with me."
This woman was here for Qin Xiao.
No matter how much Tony liked her, he wouldn't follow her.
Instead, he chose to find somewhere else to relax—but before leaving, he leaned close to Qin Xiao and whispered,
"Tell me the name of the bar you usually go to. When I get back from Afghanistan, I'll come find you."
"Tony—be careful!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but warn him.
Tony clearly didn't take it seriously.
After seeing Tony off, Qin Xiao turned back to Black Widow beside him.
"Don't tell me our meeting tonight was a coincidence. I don't believe that, Miss Romanoff."
"Alright," she admitted with a smile."I did come looking for you. But whatever business we have can wait. For now, stay with me and have some fun—just like Stark said. I've got chips too."
At that moment, Black Widow looked like a lively young girl.
She dragged Qin Xiao around the casino, placing casual bets wherever she felt like it.
After all, the Black Widow of this time was only twenty-four years old—just two years older than Qin Xiao in this world.
To be honest, she could still be considered a big kid.
Qin Xiao wasn't sure whether Black Widow truly lived a wealthy life, or whether they were simply lucky.
The two of them drifted from table to table, betting at will.
Amazingly, they won four million dollars.
When it came time to cash out, Black Widow said the money was useless to her—she didn't want a single cent.
Qin Xiao didn't hesitate and deposited all of it into his own account.
As they were leaving, Qin Xiao happened to see Tony getting into a car with a female reporter outside the hotel.
Before driving off, Tony winked at him.
"You seem to get along quite well," Black Widow said as they walked along the front of the hotel."From what I know, being friends with Tony Stark isn't easy."
"Really?" Qin Xiao replied."Maybe we just talk comfortably. But having an elite agent putting pressure on me—that's a bit harder."
"How did you know?" she asked, tilting her head with a smile.
"Wasn't it obvious?" Qin Xiao said."I went to the back of the bar late at night to deal with three big guys. They were either assassins or agents. You didn't kill them."
Though Qin Xiao knew Black Widow was a world-famous agent, her appearance still made him want to pat her on the head.
"Alright, you're right. I am an agent," she admitted calmly."You already know who I am. So now, I want to ask you a question."
The two strolled leisurely down the street as she spoke.
"Go ahead."
Qin Xiao pouted, signaling he didn't mind.
"How did you obtain the Super Soldier Serum? Was it because of Isaiah?"
This time, it was Qin Xiao who was stunned.
How efficient was S.H.I.E.L.D.? They had uncovered so much with just one operation?
But seeing how relaxed Black Widow was, Qin Xiao didn't hide anything.
He told her everything directly.
"In the end, it was just luck. Are you here to get the Super Soldier Serum from me?"
Qin Xiao grew cautious.
To him, his relationship with Isaiah was something the system had fabricated—but Isaiah genuinely regarded him as a child.
He didn't want Isaiah to be dragged back into a lab for human experiments because of him.
"No," Black Widow said."We're not interested in the serum. It's far too unstable, and none of us want trouble with Isaiah. On the contrary, we quietly eliminate anyone around him with ill intentions."
"My target is you."
Without realizing it, they had walked into a park.
Black Widow let go of Qin Xiao and sat down on a bench.
"Oh?" Qin Xiao took the opportunity to sit beside her.
"Me? Was that bullet the one that went straight into your heart last time?"
"If you bring that up again, I'll turn your head into a sandwich," Black Widow snapped.
"Alright, alright! I'll never mention the bullet that went into your chest again," Qin Xiao said, raising his hands in surrender."Now explain what you mean by saying I'm the target, Agent Romanoff."
"Officially," she said,"I am Natasha Romanoff, senior agent of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. We monitor all individuals and entities that pose potential threats to the world."
"Qin Xiao, do you think you're a threat to this world?"
Qin Xiao introduced himself again.
"Your strength, speed, and reflexes exceed human limits. With minimal training, you could become the most dangerous assassin on the planet—capable of killing important figures, even a nation's president. I believe no one could stop you."
"And you think we'd just ignore that?"
"So what do you plan to do with me?" Qin Xiao asked."Lock me up?"
"Of course not," she replied."My job is simply to observe and submit a risk assessment. If you show no antisocial or anti-human tendencies, we won't arrest you."
Black Widow didn't reveal Nick Fury's Avengers Initiative.
But everything had returned to square one.
"Then I'm just a lustful guy," Qin Xiao said lightly."I lose my head when I see beautiful women—especially women as beautiful as you. Is that a threat?"
Black Widow was intelligent, but she still revealed her identity in front of Qin Xiao.
She chose honesty.
Like meeting a new friend, she chatted with him casually.
Yet beneath the surface, she analyzed every word, every expression, every movement.
In the end, all of it would be reported to Nick Fury.
They talked on the park bench until late into the night before finally parting ways.
The next day, before dinner, Qin Xiao received a call from Happy.
Tony Stark had gone missing after being attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan.
The story had finally begun.
Qin Xiao asked the system why he couldn't return after completing two missions.
The system's answer was simple:
He had to wait until Tony Stark became Iron Man, and until Qin Xiao fought alongside him to defeat Iron Monger—only then could he return to the real world.
To Qin Xiao, whether it was the real world or the Marvel world, he was merely a traveler through time.
Still, the real world felt more grounded to him, and he had integrated the memories of his former self into it.
There were many things waiting for him there—
On the condition that he earned enough points, and exchanged them for vast amounts of cash.
