The conversation continued.
Suddenly, a new task notification flashed across Kagura Hitomi's holographic UI.
[New Task Added] @@@@
[Gain Obadiah's trust and lead him to destruction / 10QP]
Heh... Looks like everyone's getting in on the action...
Well, this is perfect. A new task, and some QP to boot. Not bad!
She knew full well that Obadiah wasn't truly interested in her.
He had just noticed that her views aligned with his and, seeing her as a cute, naive girl with no guard up, decided to use her.
Heh! I'm not some clueless cutie!
I'm a super smart, self-aware girl automaton! (smirking)
But truth be told, Obadiah's attempt to use her actually worked in her favor.
If she had to deceive someone who genuinely wanted to be her friend, she might have felt guilty. But deceiving someone who's trying to manipulate you? That felt pretty satisfying!
Soon enough, Obadiah asked her for details about her and Tony's escape from Afghanistan and mentioned that he already knew about the Iron Man suit.
"If we can make a power armor like that, it'll cause a revolution in the military industry!"
Obadiah said enthusiastically, inviting her to help develop the Iron Man suit.
'Oh?'
Well, well, this is perfect! Since you're asking so kindly, I guess I'll graciously help you out (or sabotage it, more like).
By joining Obadiah's Iron Man project, she would be able to control his development process, subtly tweak things, and turn the "Iron King" into a "Steel Tortoise."
Hehehe! This sounds way too fun. Why not?
So she agreed to join Obadiah's project with a bright smile.
"God, Kagura Hitomi, I really feel like we should've met sooner," Obadiah said, looking at her with satisfaction. "Tony is lucky to have someone like you helping him."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Stane."
She bowed politely, feeling quite confident. Looks like her acting was spot on.
Obadiah, a man who had spent his whole life scheming to use others for personal gain, would never guess that one day, he'd fall for the tricks of a cute girl.
[Existing skill connections confirmed]
[Concept skill combination successful]
[New support skill acquired]
[Stealth Electromagnetic Mental Interference / 10]
Oh, success! This looks promising. Once I have enough QP, I'll unlock it.
...
A few hours later, in a café in Los Angeles.
It was supposed to be a busy afternoon, but the place was completely empty.
The entire café had been booked out, and everyone there, including the staff, were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"This is the information you requested. It's all here," Kagura said, handing a USB drive to Agent Coulson.
"All the data has been verified by Mr. Stark, but please treat it as confidential. It should not be disclosed publicly."
"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Kagura," Coulson replied, accepting the drive and handing over a package of documents to her.
"This is your payment as agreed—a complete social identity profile. As you requested, his name is Bruce Wayne."
"However, please note that this identity's associated network and resources still need to be expanded. If you need to use it soon..."
"No worries, thank you," She nodded. "Let me know once it's ready. I'm in no rush."
Coulson smiled. "I can assure you, Miss Kagura, we won't misuse this information or distribute it. It's just for storage and evaluation purposes."
"Good, then I'm relieved."
She responded, "You know, there are other people interested in this information too."
"I understand," Coulson nodded. "If you need any personal security, we can provide full protection."
"Ah, you offer that kind of service?"
"Yes, Tony Stark is one of our highest priorities, and as a key figure in his life, you're also under our protection."
"Well, I'm flattered," Kagura teased with a cute smile. "But I don't think I'm that valuable yet."
"Understood, Miss Kagura. If you need help, don't hesitate to contact us."
"Thank you for your cooperation. See you next time."
