After hearing Nick Fury's answer, Natasha and Hawkeye finally understood why his expression was so ugly just now.
Although they didn't know what the relationship between Richard and Roy Wesley was like, they were sure of one thing: things were heading for the worst.
Compared to canceling the S-class wanted warrant of the Department of Mutant Affairs and returning the property of the Wesley family with interest, releasing Roy Wesley is obviously much more important.
It's not surprising that Natasha and Hawkeye would have such thoughts.
After all, from their point of view, everything Richard did was to rescue Roy Wesley.
They would never have imagined that the current Richard and the previous Richard were two completely different people.
Not to mention that they don’t know, as long as Richard doesn’t say it, no one will know that he is a time traveler who occupied the original body.
In their view, Roy Wesley's death would cause Richard to completely go berserk and even take actual action to destroy the United States.
But in fact, things are far less serious than they imagined.
As for rescuing Roy Wesley, it has never been Richard's main purpose.
Otherwise, after the matter in the Los Angeles branch was concluded, he would continue to attack other branches of the Department of Mutant Affairs until Roy Wesley was rescued.
However, he did not do so, but instead improved his strength in an orderly manner.
For him, rescuing Roy Wesley was just a reward for occupying his original body, not something he had to do.
From the very beginning, his attitude was to save as many people as possible.
If he can't be saved, then it can only be considered that Roy Wesley is unlucky.
"How are those people in the White House going to explain to Richard that his father is dead?"
Natasha said, frowning.
After hearing Natasha's words, Nick Fury immediately replied:
"They mean to tell Richard the truth directly."
"If he needs other compensation, they will try to meet it."
"Besides, they think you are the best person to contact him."
"You have had contact with him twice. You are the person with the official background who has had the most dealings with him."
"Besides, you were unharmed during both encounters, so they think he might have a good impression of you."
Although Nick Fury's words were very tactful, except for Banner, Natasha and Hawkeye immediately understood the subtext of his words.
Beauty plan!
In other words, selling one's looks!
Natasha first turned her head to look at Banner, and found that Banner did not understand the subtext of Nick Fury's words, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although in her past career as an agent, she had used her beauty to seduce enemies many times.
But things are different now.
Apart from anything else, she didn't know Banner before.
Taking her eyes away from Banner, Natasha said to Nick Fury:
“Are those people in the White House all idiots?”
"Which eye of theirs saw that Richard had a crush on me!"
"I have no intention of committing suicide. This is trouble they caused themselves. Let them contact Richard themselves!"

Chapter 77 Press Conference, White House Announcement
eight pm.
Manhattan.
The White Queen's apartment.
Richard and the White Queen, who had a pleasant conversation in the bedroom for an afternoon and took a bath together in the bathroom, are now enjoying tonight's dinner in the restaurant.
Although the White Queen repeatedly stated that she could cook dinner herself, considering that she only knew how to cook American food, Richard finally decided to eat takeout tonight.
Since you're ordering takeout, of course you won't order things like French fries, hamburgers, and pizza.
Richard specifically found a Chinese restaurant online with mostly favorable reviews in Chinese and ordered all of the restaurant’s signature dishes.
Although the portion was a bit large and enough for a family dinner, he was not worried about waste.
For him, who has a super physique, it is a very easy thing for him to eat the food of five or six people by himself.
After enjoying a Chinese dinner that was more to their taste, Richard and the White Queen sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.
For example, is it better to hold a debate in the living room or in the bathroom before going to bed; during the debate, is it better for the White Queen to wear white stockings or black stockings, and so on.
Although some of the chat topics are not suitable for children, they are all adults and it is normal to talk about such topics.
Just as they were discussing these topics, the evening news suddenly broadcast a White House press conference.
Unlike usual press conferences, not only was there no reporter attending this White House press conference, but even the photographers were arranged by themselves.
Seeing the sudden rebroadcast of the press conference, Richard picked up the remote control and switched to other news channels.
No matter which channel it is, it is now broadcasting this sudden press conference.
It is clear that all major TV stations have received mandatory requests from the White House.
After discovering that other news channels were also broadcasting the show, Richard turned up the volume on the TV, looking forward to what would happen next.
"After a joint investigation by multiple departments, it has been determined that the Minister of Mutant Affairs Filippo Todd and Deputy Minister Winston Lambert have repeatedly violated relevant laws and abused their power during their tenure, illegally arresting mutants who have not committed any crimes and issuing arrest warrants..."
The White House spokesman standing on the stage read out the prepared script in a very emotional voice.
After reading the script for nearly five minutes, the broadcast ended.
Although the White House spokesperson said a lot of things, it can be summarized into three things.
The first is that the Minister of Mutant Affairs Filippo Todd and Deputy Minister Winston Lambert are now in prison for violating the law.
The second is that the S-level wanted warrant against Richard has been cancelled.
The third incident was a leak in the underground natural gas pipeline of the Ministry of Mutant Affairs, which caused a series of chain explosions. The specific damage and casualties are still being counted.
"Using press conferences to cover up the truth has become a traditional skill of the White House."
"Although most of the content is false, they still publicly announced that the wanted warrant on you has been lifted."
The White Queen said slowly, laying her head on Richard's thigh like a kitten.
After the debate on the origin of life with the White Queen, Richard briefly told her about the headquarters of the Department of Mutant Affairs.
After hearing that he killed Captain America Rogers, the White Queen was a little surprised, but she didn't care too much.
For ordinary people in the United States, Captain America is the first superhero in American history, the greatest contributor to the elimination of Nazi Hydra, and the signboard and face of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But for people like the White Queen who roam the underground world, Captain America is not only not a hero, but also a potential hidden danger.
"I don't care how they publicly remove the warrant against me."
"I'm just curious about when they can complete the three conditions I proposed."
Richard's right hand roamed freely on the White Queen's attractive body, and he spoke slowly.
"The arrest warrants have been cancelled, and they should have accepted the other two conditions as well."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have held a press conference without reporters."
The White Queen ignored Richard's dirty hands and continued speaking.
"It better be this way."
"Otherwise, I will have to go to the White House tomorrow at noon."
After saying that, Richard picked up the White Queen who was lying next to him.
Just as he was about to use teleportation to go to the bedroom and start tonight's debate with the White Queen, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Hearing the doorbell, he immediately used his super vision to look towards the door of the apartment.
At this moment, outside the door of the apartment, there were four people who perfectly fit the description of men, women, young and old.
Cyclops, Black Widow, Professor X, Hulk!
After seeing the four of them, Richard said to the White Queen, "It looks like tonight's bedtime activities will start later."
"I think it's okay to let them wait outside for an hour or two."
The White Queen put her arms around Richard's neck and spoke softly.
"An hour or two?"
"Tonight's bedtime routine won't last an hour or two."
Richard said with a smile.
After putting down the White Queen, he used teleportation to come to the entrance hall and opened the door of the apartment.
"good evening!"
After the door opened, Black Widow Natasha said quickly.
"Come in and talk."
Richard replied.
When Natasha, Professor X and the other two came to the living room and sat down, he continued:
"If you came here tonight to convince me to give up the other two conditions, you can go back now."
After hearing his words, Natasha looked at Professor X with embarrassment.
"Richard, I'm sorry, the White House can only meet two of your three conditions at most."
"Your father passed away two months ago."
Professor X said slowly.
Roy Wesley died?
Richard frowned immediately.
Although after seeing Professor X and Cyclops outside the door, he guessed that the White House could not meet his three conditions.
But he didn't expect that the original body's father had died two months ago.
"Tell me, what kind of explanation does the White House intend to give me?"
Richard did not ask how Roy Wesley died, but asked directly.
It's easy to tell that Roy Wesley, who was in his prime, definitely did not die of a sudden illness.
No matter how Roy Wesley died, it didn't matter.
What's important is how those people in the White House plan to resolve this matter.
"It depends on what you mean. As long as they can do it, they won't refuse it."
Professor X replied quickly.
After hearing Professor X's answer, Richard shook his head and continued:
"If this is their attitude, it means they have no sincerity at all."
"Since they have no sincerity, I don't think there is anything to talk about."
"I will not make a move until the 24-hour time limit is up."
"But if they still can't give me a satisfactory explanation after the deadline, don't blame me for not giving you face, Professor."
Professor X originally wanted to try to persuade Richard, but after seeing the cold expression on Richard's face, he decisively gave up the idea.
"In that case, we won't bother you anymore."
"We will pass on your words to them verbatim."
"I'm sorry to bring you bad news."
