S.U.M.U Chapter 54 Pay Your Bill!

After recovering from her shock, Natasha continued to converse with Dio.

“I will report everything that happened tonight to the director, I’ll make sure to convey your wishes the director.” Natasha said as she tried to relax her nerves.

“Okay. And one more thing about me, I am not a mutant or superhuman related to all those experiments and whatnot. I am a practitioner of Hamon arts. The invisible thing that you are talking about before was my guardian spirit. They are also known as Stand.” Dio said indifferently.

“They? Are you serious?” Natasha said with a surprised tone.

Dio only looked at her with a bored look on his face.

Natasha immediately came to the conclusion that there wasn’t only one invisible creature!

There could be many more than she could ever think!

“Can you explain these Hamon arts that you are saying?” Natasha said with a flirty voice.

Dio immediately thought of her like a curious cat trying to prey on the unsuspected.

“Hamon is a teaching from the far east. At this time, I am was the only practitioner left in this world. That is all the information that I can give you for now, don’t get me wrong. I am cooperating for now doesn’t mean that I am one of you SHIELD whatever thingy. It just means that I don’t want you to hassle me every day.” Dio said with a sigh.

Dio didn’t really care even if SHIELD wasted all their resource researching Dio’s explanation of his power.

They will not get any results at all!

“Cooperation? What cooperation?” Natasha said confusedly.

“Just like you experienced before, I have some sort of healing ability. If you wish to further your understanding of this ability, you can make an arrangement to dine here again with a single call! Of course, I would give you a 10% discount on the price.” Dio said cheekily

Natasha suddenly burst into tears of laughter.

She never encountered anyone that acted calmly like Dio after knowing that she was an agent of SHIELD.

“Well, that is all for today, I will write a report of this conversation. As for the decision, it is all in the hand of those high brasses. I didn’t have a say in it. If I can suggest, I hope that you use your power for good.” She said casually.

“Thanks for your suggestion, but I’d rather make money from it than saving another person I don’t know about. I don’t play superheroes. I don’t think that when I got into a real troublesome case, anyone would help me and therefore, I will not help for free.” Dio said indifferently.

Natasha gave him an in-depth look and then got up and walked toward the door.

“You should stay in town for a few days, we will try to make an x-file on your case.” Natasha said with a smile on her face when she was on her way out.

When she left the restaurant, she quickly assessed Dio’s personality.

She found that Dio was completely an open person regarding a problem that will trouble him, and he was one of those ‘will work for money’ kind of guy!

She quickly came back to Dio’s restaurant because there was one last thing that Nick Fury requested.

“I almost forgot! You will need an ability assessment soon in our headquarter. This is just a standard procedure.” She said casually.

“Really? Did everyone do it?” Dio said challengingly.

“Yes, everyone who is deemed hospitable has done it.” Natasha said confidently.

“You know that my restaurant is fully booked for three days straight, right?” Dio asked annoyedly.

“Well, it looks like it is time for me to go.” Natasha said teasingly.

“Don’t you forget something before you leave?” Dio said while raising one of his eyebrows.

He immediately handed over the bill that Natasha has to pay from her dinner earlier.

Natasha looked at the bill and was surprised once more.

“I understand about the cost of the meal, cleaning, and the door. But what is all this mental damage thing? It even costs $100.000, are you mad?” Natasha said confusedly.

“This is natural, you know. After all, you did point a gun at me and even shoot me! think about my image in this neighborhood, my competitor would use this case to take away my customers!” Dio said frustratedly.

“You don’t even need to be stingy about this! It is not like it’s your own money that you spend.” Dio said while frowning to Natasha.

“Still, this is too much!” Natasha said blatantly.

“Rude! After so many people pointing a gun on me, yet you can’t even pay for mental damage? Stupid shit!” Dio murmured to himself while grabbing the bill from Natasha’s hands and change the amount of mental damage price.

“There! I can’t go lower! If you still refuse, I will sue you in court!” Dio said angrily to Natasha.
