Chapter 15: Chapter 15
"Agent Carter, continue with your mission. Do as he says."
Sharon pressed her lips together, not responding immediately.
She had thought it was just about sacrificing some of her beauty...
How did it turn into giving her whole self away?
"Sharon Carter! Don't forget your identity!" Fury said, with a heavier tone. "Also, this is at Peggy Carter's request."
Sharon let go of her lips and sighed.
"I understand," she said seriously. "Even though you didn't propose, I'll agree to be your wife."
In front of Vex, she logged into the unlimited marriage registry system through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network and added her name under Vex's "household registry."
Right under "Daisy Lewis."
—Doing it yourself to become a concubine, can you believe it?
But...
"System, I've registered. Why isn't there a reward?"
[Please consummate the marriage to avoid exploiting the system loophole!]
Huh...
The system didn't even mention this was a possibility
Vex stood up, smiling. "I'm tired of reading. Let's go find Lewis and the others."
As for taking Sharon?
She was already in the bag, so no rush.
Sharon didn't say much, striding ahead while Vex admired her from behind, already considering how to develop...
...
When Vex arrived at the training room, Lewis was sparring with Natasha.
No doubt, in terms of physical strength, Lewis completely overpowered Natasha.
But in combat skills, she was clueless—just blindly throwing punches with all her strength.
Facing Natasha, who specialized in defeating stronger opponents, Lewis couldn't land a blow.
Hmm...
If it were Vex fighting without the use of the Twelve Charms, he'd likely struggle too.
However, the sheer difference in physical ability made most martial arts useless.
An arm lock? Lewis could crush bones with her fingers!
A scissor hold? She'd lift and slam you like an axe!
Because of this, Natasha didn't dare get too close and focused on guiding Darcy in combat techniques to improve her control.
At first, Natasha easily dodged Darcy's clumsy attacks.
But once Darcy got the hang of it, she accidentally threw a speed-enhanced punch!
Natasha only managed to shield her chest before getting launched across the room, crashing into the wall and sticking there for a few seconds before sliding down, seemingly unconscious.
Seeing Natasha appear lifeless, Lewus froze in panic, stopping her breath!
"Ugh—"
Natasha spat out blood, mixed with meaty substance
*Whoosh*
Vex instantly appeared at Natasha's side, using the Rabbit Charm to heal her.
Natasha was immediately back to full health, but her eyes were filled with lingering fear.
"I-I'm sorry!" Lewis said tearfully, "I didn't mean it! You were dodging everything so well, and I just sped up a little... I'm really sorry!"
"It's alright, it's my fault for being too confident and not wearing protective gear," Natasha reassured her. "I'm fine now, aren't I?"
But Lewis felt even guiltier.
As Natasha comforted Lewis, she looked up—
And locked eyes with Vex's smirking gaze.
The infamous Black Widow, making such a rookie mistake?
Or did it happen just after Vex showed up, knowing she had a guaranteed healer nearby?
Vex wasn't buying it.
"Let's not have this happen again," Vex said.
Lewis thought he was talking to her and quickly nodded, promising it wouldn't happen again.
But only Natasha and Sharon understood—it was a warning for Natasha.
"Lewis, let me introduce you," Vex said, pulling Sharon over. "This is my new wife, Sharon Carter. You two can sort out the order based on age."
Lewis was dumbfounded.
What the...
He was gone for just a few hours, and he already married again?
But then she relaxed.
It only took Vex less than half an hour to win her over...
And besides,
He just got married—shouldn't he spend the night with his new wife?
That meant she could get a break!
Thinking of this, Lewis smiled brightly and hugged Sharon.
"Welcome, welcome! I'm so glad you're here!"
Sharon was equally bewildered.
She had prepared herself to be treated like a "mistress," but...
Why did it seem like Lewis was actually happy?
"Alright, you two keep training," Vex said, looking at Sharon. "I'd like to learn some combat techniques. Can you teach me?"
Sharon, of course, agreed and nodded.
Compared to Lewis, who didn't know how to hold back, Vex was much more controlled.
Sharon began teaching him move by move, physically guiding him, soon fully stepping into the role of a wife, her body naturally leaning in.
On the side, Lewis felt a bit jealous but also smiled mysteriously
.
The more they flirted now, the more regret there would be tonight!
...
The next morning, in Sharon's agent dorm room.
As usual, Vex used the Horse Charm to smooth out his wrinkles, then looked at the fresh mark on the bed with satisfaction.
This time, Fury did well—no second-hand goods.
After a refreshing shower, he heard his phone beep with a message from an unknown number.
——[6 PM, Michigan.]
Got it. Kara sent it.
And no specific address?
"This little girl, testing me, huh."
With a smile, Vex opened his system notifications.
[Congratulations to the host for marrying "Sharon Carter," expanding your family's network, and receiving the reward of a "Slight Mental Power Increase."]
Vex felt his mind become a bit clearer.
Hmm?
What kind of reward was this?
"System, explain."
[By increasing mental power, the host can reach higher levels, unlocking the potential of your abilities!]
"Levels? Where do I check?"
This time, the system responded directly, opening up the panel:
——————————
Host: Vex;
Rating: [B-]
Rewards: A-level "Twelve Charms," A-level "Gate of Babylon," D-level "Body Enhancement Serum KW89;"
Members: [Darcy Lewis], [Sharon Carter]
——————————
Vex: "???"
"System, I have two A-level rewards, and I'm only rated B? And B- at that?"
[The full potential of the "Twelve Talismans" is limited because the host can't fully utilize them!]
