Chapter 24 Contact again
Link smiled politely and said, "I just respect my own feelings. This painting has a strong sense of space. I think it suits my living room. What I like most is the glass ceiling above the living room. The sense of space is very open."

“They match perfectly!”

"Indeed, this is one of the artist's most proud works. It has great potential for appreciation in the future, and now it only costs 80,000 US dollars." Vanessa introduced the price, "Lin, do you want to continue or buy it first?"

"Of course, continue. One painting alone is not enough for the living room. I've selected two today, both of which are intended for the living room. I hope to find satisfactory works." Link would not buy all at once, and he would not just hang one person's paintings.

Intelligence gathering is a meticulous job. Link continued, "Of course, I can't buy all the paintings. Do you have any other friends?"

"Of course, but what kind of art do you want to buy?" Vanessa asked.

Link turned to look at Jessica and asked, "Honey, do you like anything?"

"I don't understand all this. You make the decision. I think the painting you bought last time goes well with the restaurant, but we haven't cooked yet." Jessica is very smart. If Link hadn't appeared, she would have experienced a huge change and would have become a private detective in the future.

She has strong abilities in investigation, analysis and intelligence gathering.

Link said, "What do you think of the sculpture?"

"The main color of the house is white, and the blank space left by the designer is for us to add our own colors. I first used photos, and then oil paintings, especially this kind of colorful abstract paintings."

"Then I think a sculpture would be a suitable ornament."

"Well, that's a good choice." Jessica thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"Vanessa, what do you think?" Link asked Vanessa again.

Vanessa thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed possible, but most Western sculptures are monotonous in color. Lin is of Chinese descent. Is he interested in Eastern art?"

"Of course I'm interested, especially in porcelain. This is a good idea." Link looked happy. "But I don't understand this aspect. Porcelain is about color on the one hand, and age on the other. I don't understand antiques."

"You must introduce me to a businessman who is as honest and reliable as you."

"No problem, I promise!" Vanessa agreed with a smile.

Link continued his visit and bought another work for the living room. It looked like a starry sky, but this one was not too abstract, or the starry sky was too different and could be seen at a glance.

The total cost was US$140,000, and the goods were delivered at 10 am the next day. The delivery person was responsible for the installation, which was very worry-free.

Link and Vanessa agreed on a time to go to another place to see oriental porcelain, and then left.

……

At the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Coulson reported Link's achievements to Nick Fury, who was very satisfied.

"Very good, it seems that his intelligence gathering ability is good, and the intelligence this time is of great value. Coulson, I will now give this task to you, but you must keep it confidential." Nick Fury was very tempted by the wealth recorded here, as this was money that did not come from the S.H.I.E.L.D. account.

"Deal with these guys secretly. Don't touch the United Construction Company for now. Transfer the funds into the secret account."

"Yes, sir!" Coulson agreed without asking.

Coulson turned and left. Nick Fury looked at Link's profile and felt that he was good, both in terms of combat ability and intelligence gathering. However, he also had a question: why was he so good? He only knew psychology and had been trained in the police academy. Was he a genius?

Of course, Nick Fury didn't doubt anything too much, because they recruited the other party on their own initiative, instead of others joining voluntarily.

Moreover, it seems that the other party now likes this exciting industry. After all, his wealth is increasing too fast. He has no shortage of money or means to make money.

Looking back on his past experiences, especially after becoming a policeman, I can't see any problems.

Nick Fury pays such close attention for the sake of his future Avengers. There are not many people with extraordinary abilities now, and not many people can join.

Even if there is one in the future, he will need some people who obey his orders. The more people they are among the Avengers, the better.

Although Hawkeye and Black Widow are powerful, they are just ordinary people, so it is necessary to add a similar Link.

Even if the Avengers cannot be formed, it would be nice to have Coulson lead a team of highly capable agents.

Link's abilities are very strong now, especially now that he has a large sum of money, he can build a few more safe spots.

……

Link didn't know all this. After receiving the painting, he asked the workers to hang it up, and then he sat in the living room with Jessica to admire it.

"That's great, dear. You have some ideas." Jessica also felt good. "Tracy introduced me to a charity foundation. I can go and learn from it."

"That's a great idea!" Link agreed, "But we should buy a car and find you a driver who can also serve as a part-time bodyguard."

"Not necessary?" Jessica didn't want Link to spend too much money.

Link insisted, "This is necessary. After all, if you run a foundation in the future, do you have to take the subway every day?"

"Okay!" Jessica accepted it and snuggled in Link's arms. She felt very happy.

At the same time, she was also a little scared, afraid of losing this happiness, so she made a decision, which was to train herself so that she could master the power.

This was a question she had never thought about before. She had never liked this power, so she had never trained for it, but now it was very necessary.

A few days later, Link made an appointment with Vanessa to go see oriental porcelain. Jessica was very busy these days. On the one hand, she went to a charity foundation to learn management, and on the other hand, she hired a coach.

The best way to control strength is actually to fight. Jessica also realized this. Will Link's wealth increase?

Because Link had arranged bodyguards for him, she originally thought that she didn't need them, but now it seems that they are necessary because she doesn't want to expose her strength.

Tracy suggested that she learn how to fight, and even use guns, to control her own strength, and to protect herself with weapons, so as to avoid being discovered of her super powers to the greatest extent possible.

Jessica begins training in secret, and Link is still unaware of it.
