A day later, in the SHIELD headquarters, in the office on the fifth floor.
Nick Fury was at his desk working on the papers, scratching his hair every now and then.
Jingle Bell……
The harsh phone rang suddenly, and Fury grabbed the phone and put it to his ear. But before he could speak, a loud roar came from the microphone:
"Agent Nick Fury, it's been almost a month, have you found the murderer of Mr. Stark? Have you found the secret base of Hydra??"
Fury held the microphone away from his ear with a look of disgust, and then replied:
"Director Pierce, I'm trying to find it. As you know, most of the agents in the bureau have been sent to protect the personal safety of the top officials in the bureau and their families. I'm short of manpower."
"Don't look for other reasons. I entrust you with this matter, to trust you, to give you a chance to be promoted, and to think about your future. If I have such high hopes for you, you will take the understaffed ones. Reasons to prevaricate me?"
"Director Pierce, there's a real shortage of people in S.H.I.E.L.D. now. Otherwise, you'll return the 20 agents you transferred. I need them to help me collect intelligence."
"Those 20 agents are used to protect the safety of me and my family. What should I do if they are given to you?"
"But others only need 4 agents, you want too much..."
"Agent Fury, did you talk to your boss like this?! I'll tell you, give you another month, if you still can't find any news, you can go back and continue your clerical job!"
After speaking, Pierce hung up the phone angrily.
Hearing the busy tone coming from the microphone, Fury shook his head helplessly. He put the microphone back on the landline, put his hands behind his back, and stood by the window, staring at the setting sun outside.
After a long time, the sunset was blocked by high-rise buildings in the city, and the lights in the office were automatically turned on under the control of light sensors.
Fury seemed to have made up his mind, and went back to his desk to pick up the phone and dial again.
"Agent Romanoff, come to my office."
A few minutes later, the black widow in casual clothes pushed open the door of the office and said:
"Sir Fury, what do you have to do with me?"
"I want to confirm with you again, all the details of your encounter in Kapok Tang Manor."
Although Black Widow didn't know why Fury suddenly wanted to hear this, she patiently repeated the experience at the underground base in Kapok Pond.
As Fury listened, he didn't know what to write down in his notebook.
After Black Widow finished speaking, Fury already had a lot of memories in his notebook. He paused for a moment before asking:
"Do you believe in the assistant who calls himself Dr. Zola, the man named Ivan Avatar?"
"Which aspect do you mean?"
"All aspects!"
"His name should be fake, but everything else should be real."
"Why do you say that?"
"Intuition!"
Black Widow saw Fury's brows furrowed, and she said again, saying,
"It's a woman's intuition!"
Fury shrugged nonchalantly, then took out a small memory and a note with a bank card number from the drawer, and said:
"I'm going to pay the so-called Mr. Avatar one million dollars, which is what he called life-saving money. Do you think he will say thank you to us?"
Black Widow's eyes lit up and she asked:
"You want to get the location of the Hydra base from his mouth?"
Fury smiled and said nothing. Black Widow guessed with a little surprise,
"Don't you want him to tell you who in S.H.I.E.L.D. are HYDRA's spies?!"
At this moment, Fury smiled and said:
"Why, do you think it's impossible?"
"It's not impossible, but I think you're going to bleed a lot. These news can't be exchanged for just a million."
Fury smiled and said, "Heroes see the same thing, I'm ready to bleed!"
Black Widow also smiled, but after laughing, she seemed to change her face and asked seriously:
"Why are you telling me this? You have already made a complete plan, you can just let it go and do it yourself."
Fury put his hands on his back again, his eyes seemed to focus on infinity, and slowly said:
"Sometimes, doing something requires approval from others."
……
The next morning, in Minnesota, the state TV's morning news channel was broadcasting the news.
"From noon the day before yesterday to last night, there have been many armed robberies in towns and cities in our state, causing great panic among the residents of the state.
But what is puzzling is that most of these robbed people are some local rogues, gangsters, and even gang members.
Some gang members who possessed guns and hated local residents even had a shootout with unknown robbers, and were finally beaten to death by blunt weapons.
At present, the police have intervened in the investigation, but the local residents did not buy it. Not only did they not cooperate with the investigation, they also called the robbers knights.
After repeated visits and investigations by the police, some basic information about the robbers was obtained. The robbers were two men who appeared to be in their twenties.
Although the two did not show any malice towards ordinary people, the two held weapons and robbed and murdered unscrupulously.
This station is here and strongly advises everyone not to go out at night, and if you find suspicious persons, please call the police immediately..."
The two knights who robbed the gang were naturally Leo and Bucky. By this time, they had left Minnesota in a black van.
Inside the car, Leo was wearing jeans, sneakers, and a blue bread suit. Bucky was dressed similarly, but with a pair of grey gloves that BiLeoder wore over his steel left palm.
"Bucky, how do you feel about robbing a whole state in two days?"
"It's not very good, this is not the America I am familiar with. How could those gangsters do something like finding an old woman living alone to collect protection fees? And the local police don't even ask!"
Bucky looked very angry, frowned and said,
"Leo, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have taken down the entire gang, and even dismantled the police station!"
"You can't do this. You kill a group of people, and another wave of people will appear continue to do this kind of thing. Not only in the United States, but all over the world."
"We fought hard to win World War II, and sacrificed our lives for the United States and the bright future of the world. Now, the world has changed for the better, and ordinary people are living a rich life. Why do some people go down the wrong path? !why??"
Leo asked Bucky indifferently:
"Did you not have gangsters in the era before you?! There is one! All of this is driven by interests.
When gangsters are profitable, they can enjoy unearned wealth by virtue of their ruthlessness and lifelessness, some people go down this road. "
"Isn't there a solution?"
"Of course there is!"
"any solution?"
"When you become the gang leader of the entire United States, you can customize the order of the dark kingdom at will!"
After Bucky heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. Then he suddenly asked:
"When I was in Minneapolis, I heard from their gang boss that all gangsters in the United States surrendered to a man named Jin Bing.
Then according to the rules of the gang, as long as I kill him, I can be the boss? Leo, do you know where he is? "
"What? You have a new life goal so soon?!"
Seeing that Bucky was silent, Leo continued,
"Of course I know where Jinbian is! I'm taking you to find him now!"
At this moment, Bucky said:
"Thank you, Leo. But why do you seem to know everything?! Why do you know so much?"
Leo touched his nose, smiled and said perfunctorily:
"I'm more knowledgeable and well-informed!"
