Chapter 43

Hill felt that Boss's face seemed darker today. After reporting the situation, she saw that Nick Fury had no other instructions, so she turned around and left the office, closing the door to isolate the terrifying cold air in the room.

The news that Hawkeye had also lost contact made Nick Fury silent for a long time. His one eye, fixed on the air, stared at nothing, and it was unknown what he was silently planning.

At that time, Black Widow was testing Luke and was not sure whether he was an apostle, so she did not report this news to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury was now missing information, and he could only rely on the limited intelligence he had to figure out what was going on.

The King of Agents is not called that for nothing. After living for so many years, Nick Fury is best at understanding people's hearts.

The video of the battle between the Apostle and Iron Man was watched by Nick Fury countless times. His analysis of it was that it was possible to selectively engage with him. This person's nature was not bad.

The reason he came to this conclusion was that the Apostle did not choose to engage in a firefight with Iron Man in a crowded place. Secondly, the Apostle did not hurt the pilot. As for breaking a leg, it should be an accident.

That interview was also crucial. Language is the window to a person's soul. To be able to argue with the famous talker Tony in an interview and to say that he didn't believe anything was something that only a vicious person could do.

If it had been a truly vicious criminal, that ridiculous interview that day would not have happened and would have been a disaster.

Nick Fury's summary is: He feels that the character displayed by the Apostle is very similar to Tony.

Equally conceited, proud, and arrogant.

But he has more distinctive characteristics than Tony, such as being unscrupulous, disobedient, and challenging authority.

In short, he's a bigger headache for him than Tony, but he's not someone he can't approach.

In fact, what made Nick Fury hesitant at the moment was not these things, but a question that he still couldn't figure out: Is there really a powerful organization behind the apostles?

Nick Fury racked his brains but still couldn't make up his mind.

If so, why has this organization never appeared before? Not even a trace? Unless they are not on this planet, no one can be completely out of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sight.

If there is no organization behind it, then how do we explain those mysterious technologies that have been displayed?

This logical contradiction made Nick Fury confused. He was so worried that his hair fell out, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.

He sighed silently, withdrew his gaze, and focused on the present.

Two of his ace agents have been trapped. The other side does not intend to kill them, but seems to have just imprisoned them. Nick Fury is thinking about who to send next and for what purpose?

He felt that the way he dealt with Iron Man last time was very effective.

Geniuses like them are always arrogant and undisciplined. If you put inappropriate pressure on them, they will rebound. It is better to extend an olive branch, take gentle measures, and control them softly.

Keeping them in his sight would make Nick Fury feel more at ease than knowing nothing about these people.

Besides, he had a more ambitious plan in mind. He needed these people...

"Whom to send?"

The question comes back here.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has a huge number of agents, but there are not many who are capable of carrying out this level 10 confidentiality mission.

Except for Black Widow and Hawkeye who have lost contact, the other barely qualified people currently have their own missions. Many are even in other countries and cannot fly back for a while.

"Oh, right." Nick Fury's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered someone. "He happens to be in the bureau too, why not ask him to come and ask?"

In a moment, Phil Coulson, a middle-aged man in a suit and on the verge of baldness, walked into Nick Fury's office.

"Sir, you're looking for me?"

Coulson always seemed to have a gentle smile on his face, just like Boiled Egg always wore a long black windbreaker.

"Phil, I need help." Nick Fury never beats around the bush. He briefly told Coulson the current situation and told him that this was a level 10 confidentiality level.

Coulson immediately turned serious. His clearance was level 8, and anything he touched upon at level 10 was of the utmost importance.

Standing there, Coulson thought seriously for a while, and he actually thought of a candidate.

"Sir, I would like to recommend someone to you."

…

The logistics department of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This place looks no different from the workplace of white-collar workers in office buildings. There are semi-enclosed cubicles separated by desks with computers and thick documents piled up to fill the desks. The air smells of ink.

At one of the tables, a Chinese woman was sitting. She was skillfully sorting out the messy documents on the table, and she heard someone coming behind her.

"Agent May."

She knew it was Coulson by the voice. She didn't even turn her head: "No."

"Melinda..." Coulson smiled kindly, but he didn't finish his words.

"I'm not going back."

Coulson smiled and said, "Yeah, look at how great the configuration here is. Have you ever considered adding a moat?"

Agent May looked at Coulson with dissatisfaction.

"If there was any other choice, the chief wouldn't have asked me to come to you," Coulson said.

"Nick asked you to come find me?" May looked at him and asked.

"Well, to be exact, I was the one who recommended you to him."

"Hmph." May lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the documents.

"Natasha and Clint have lost contact. Now, you are the only one in the bureau who can take on this mission," Coulson said.

May was a little surprised. What kind of mission would require Black Widow and Hawkeye to go out at the same time? And they had lost contact? But she still didn't look back.

Coulson continued earnestly: "Melinda, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs you now. I promise, only this time. When you come back you can continue your..." He pointed to the documents.

May knew the word Coulson wanted to say: escape.

Ever since the "Bahrain Island Incident", she has been hiding in the logistics department, refusing all field missions and working as a clerk.

Seven years ago, she was an ordinary agent, responsible for various trivial field missions of S.H.I.E.L.D. Until that morning, Coulson brought her a new mission: to go to Bahrain Island to negotiate with a superpower who held a little girl hostage.

She is an expert in this area. S.H.I.E.L.D. had previously sent out several teams, but none of them had any news after entering the building where the hostages were.

Shortly after arriving at the scene, the two collaborative teams that came with them also lost contact one after another.

So she had to go in and find out the situation herself.

After entering the building, she was soon attacked by her own people, the members of the two missing teams. After knocking them out, she immediately went upstairs and found that the superpower who was holding the hostages could control people's minds.

All the agents sent earlier were controlled without exception. Only she managed to stay awake with her willpower at the time.

After a fierce battle, she won.

She stepped forward to rescue the hostage, but something unbelievable happened to her: the real superpower turned out to be the little hostage girl.

At that time, for the safety of the agents in the entire building and her own life, she chose to shoot and kill the little girl.

The irony is that because she single-handedly rescued everyone and was seriously injured in the process, she was called a hero and was given the title of "Iron Cavalry".

She hated the title.

She blamed herself for shooting and killing a child. She recovered physically, but the mental trauma still haunted her.

Not long after, her life finally fell apart. She divorced her husband, left the ranks of field agents, and came here to deal with documents all day.

Until now, she still recalls the clear eyes of the little girl opposite her when she fired the gun...

"May..." Coulson was still beside her, waiting for her answer.

Mayi sighed.

"Just this once." In the end, the sense of mission prevailed. May rolled her eyes at Coulson and said, "This is the only time. It won't happen again."

Coulson laughed happily.

Coulson brings Melinda to see Nick Fury.

After understanding the mission situation, May asked, "What should we do if the other party is tough?"

Something was not right in S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past two years, and Nick Fury felt it, so he planned to secretly build an independent force called the Avengers. He did not tell anyone about this plan.

Since we intend to recruit apostles, we must not go further down the path of destroying the relationship between the two parties.

Nick Fury said: "This is a rescue mission. If rescue doesn't work, try to negotiate. Don't conflict with the other party."

May frowned as she listened. She thought of Bahrain Island, where the negotiations also started first.

Coulson knew her and what she was worried about.

The good man smiled and consoled, "No one expected that the person with superpowers would be a child. Believe me, this won't happen again."

Nick Fury also encouraged his subordinates, "Don't feel stressed. There will be two teams to cooperate with you. I'm waiting for your good news."

May looked at Coulson and nodded.

Luke's third tenant is coming…
