Since Viper gave him the task, he quickly completed the necessary procedures and then took Katie back home.

He was already prepared to be annoyed to death by the child, but he didn't expect that Katie was extremely well-behaved and sensible, and basically didn't bother him too much.

Logically speaking, he should be happy, but when he thought about Viper telling him to take good care of him, he felt uneasy. After all, he basically didn't worry too much except spending money.

So on the one hand, in order to feel more at ease for himself, and on the other hand, in order to live up to Katie's sensibleness and well-behavedness, Rumlow began to take the initiative to do something. Today's braiding was his first attempt, and the results so far are good. Well enough.

"Uncle, I'm ready." Katie walked out of the room holding her schoolbag.

After hearing this, Rumlow came to his senses and stood up, then opened the door and said, "Let's go, uncle will take you down and give you a taxi."

After arriving downstairs, Rumlow skillfully hailed a taxi, and then gave the driver a hundred dollars while putting Katie in bed.

"Send her to Zhongcheng Middle School. Apart from the fare, the rest will be your tip."

Seeing that Rumlow was so wealthy, the driver also raised his eyebrows, whistled and said, "Don't worry, brother, there is absolutely no problem."

Although the driver promised well, but feeling his frivolous attitude, Rumlow also looked at the well-behaved Katie in the back seat, and then opened his wallet to reveal an ID.

F B I

Looking at the big letters on the certificate and Rumlow's slightly threatening eyes, the smile on the driver's face froze, and then he nodded quickly and said, "Ahem, I promise there will be no problem."

Although Rumlow didn't say a word, everything was said in silence, and there was no need to say anything between adults.

"Ahem, little lady, please fasten your seat belt, we are about to leave." The driver said seriously, and then slowly drove away under Rumlow's gaze.

Rumlow just watched the taxi turn around the intersection and out of sight, and then turned and walked into the building.

And by the window of his house, Holm had been standing here for some time, and everything that had just happened was under his gaze.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I am indeed your favorite subordinate. This behavior is exactly the same as yours." Venom complained about Rumlow's approach of threatening the driver with his FBI ID.

It remembered that Holm had done this when he sent Gwen home before, and it didn't know how much of the FBI's poor reputation was the fault of SHIELD agents.

Listening to Venom's complaints, Holm also responded: "It can only be said that heroes see the same thing. Anyone who is smart knows the truth of holding a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other."

After saying that, he turned away from the window, walked to the sofa and sat down.

In the corridor at this time, Rumlow was going upstairs while swinging the keys. Thinking of Katie's soft and waxy thank you, a smile appeared on his standard tough guy face.

"Click!"

Rumlow opened the door while humming a tune, and when he looked up, he saw Holm sitting on the sofa.

The moment he saw Holm, his whole body suddenly became energetic as if it was electrified. The smile on his face suddenly froze, and his body suddenly became straight: "Sir, you are here."

Holm was peeling oranges leisurely at this time. Seeing Rumlow's series of instinctive reactions, he nodded slightly and said, "What's the price of the shirt?"

"Nine pounds and fifteen pence!" Rumlow replied without thinking.

"Sit down." Holm's voice was calm.

"Yes!" Rumlow put the key on the shoe cabinet next to him and locked the door at the same time. Then he slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, with his waist straight.

Although he has met Holm several times, he is still very nervous every time. He always feels that the temperament exuding from Holm is becoming more and more frightening and unpredictable.

"How are you doing during this time? How are you getting along with the kid? Is the money enough?" Holm said while putting an orange slice into his mouth.

Although he himself felt nothing strange, in the eyes of others, Orange seemed to blend into the black mask on his face after coming into contact with it, which looked very strange.

Listening to Holm's question, Rumlow responded immediately without any hesitation: "Sir, there haven't been any problems recently. Katie and I are getting along very well. She is very well-behaved and there is no big trouble."

"There is still a lot of funds for the mission you gave me, so there should be no problem with funds in a short period of time."

Listening to Rumlow's answer, Holm nodded and continued: "Very good, you completed the task I gave you very well."

"What about being in SHIELD? How is SHIELD doing?"

"In SHIELD, I am still the same as last time. I am the captain of a special team. I may not improve much in the short term." Rumlow said seriously.

"But I will complete the task well, consolidate my foundation, and strive to seize the opportunity to complete the promotion when the next opportunity comes."

This time after Rumlow finished speaking, Holm did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at him quietly, and then ate the oranges piece by piece.

This gesture made Rumlow, who was already nervous, even more nervous. He began to rack his brains to think about whether there was anything wrong with his answer just now.

Time passed by second by second, and just when Rumlow was almost out of breath due to the oppressive atmosphere, Holm, who swallowed the last piece of orange, finally spoke again.

"Are you scared?"

"Huh?" Before Rumlow could breathe a sigh of relief, Holm's sudden question caused his head to spin a little.

"I said, did you feel scared just now?" Holm continued.

"No, no, I was just thinking about whether I said something wrong," Rumlow said after swallowing.

After hearing his answer, Holm slowly stood up and walked to his side, then gently put his hand on the back of Rumlow's neck.

Feeling Holm's palm, Rumlow instantly got goosebumps all over his body.

And as his palm slowly exerted force, he also felt a suffocating cold murderous intention.

Although he just put his palms on his neck, he felt as if his entire neck was being pinched, and he even couldn't breathe.

"Sir! I, I." Rumlow's voice couldn't stop trembling.

He did feel Holm's murderous intention towards him, but he didn't understand why.

"Do you feel scared now?" Holm said lightly.
