Chapter 147 Flattery

Chapter 147 Flattery
On a sunny morning, in the office of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Director, I need your help. Please take a look at this matter."

Nick Fury spoke to Xia Ling with a flattering smile, his behavior respectful, completely devoid of the majesty he had when he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This appearance made his old comrade Punisher beside him couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Fury, what did I say? Don't always bring those shady people to my office. Do you think this is a street food stand?"

As soon as Xia Ling finished speaking, the Punisher was about to attack, but Nick Fury immediately grabbed him.

Just kidding, Xia Ling just flicked him with his finger and he stayed in the hospital until yesterday when he was discharged.

Now Xia Ling's fingers were clenched into a fist. If he was punched again, he would not have to go to the hospital.

Even if they chose to go to the crematorium, it would be a laborious task to dig Frank's body out of the wall.

"Director, the thing is, Frank has nothing to do recently, and would like to ask you to arrange a job for him. What do you think?"

Xia Ling's gaze shifted from Nick Fury to the Punisher. Frank felt Xia Ling's gaze and straightened his back involuntarily. Although he was still unwilling in his heart, the strong sense of oppression from Xia Ling forced him to remain in awe.

"Is it so difficult now? Even elite warriors like the Punisher can't even get enough food?"

Xia Ling's teasing made the Punisher frown, but he said nothing.

He was pulled here by his own Nick Fury at all costs. Considering Nick Fury's current situation, he could only endure it for the time being.

"Director, this still requires your guidance. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Frank is, there is no place for him in such a big city like New York."

Nick Fury didn't want to bring the Punisher, a stubborn man, here, not to mention that the Punisher had a grudge against Xia Ling.

But there is no way. If I don’t bring him here, who knows what Xia Ling will think.

After spending some time together, Nick Fury thought he had figured out Xia Ling's temper.

This director is notoriously petty, even more so than himself.

If you don't bring the Punisher here to surrender to him, he might get unhappy one day and kill the Punisher.

With his methods, the punisher would not be able to rest in peace even after death and would have to continue to suffer.

"But even if I say anything, I'm afraid this famous punisher may not listen."

Xia Ling chuckled, a cunning look flashing in his eyes. He slowly stood up, walked around the large desk, and walked towards Frank step by step. Every step seemed to invisibly increase the pressure in the room.

"Frank, I heard your principle is 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', right? But in this world, sometimes the rules can be broken, especially when you are facing a greater threat."

Frank narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt the meaning of Xia Ling's words, but he remained vigilant and did not express his opinion easily.

“I do have a mission here, and I need someone who is not afraid of powerful enemies and dares to face the darkness. This mission is not only a test of the body, but also a test of the mind.

If you are willing to accept it, it will be your chance to prove yourself and the possibility of finding a new direction.”

Xia Ling stopped and stood face to face with Frank.

Nick Fury watched nervously from the side, fearing that his Punisher would just punch him directly.

At that time, he will not only lose a close friend, but more importantly, he will lose a powerful fighter standing on his side.

Frank took a deep breath, as if weighing the pros and cons. He looked at Nick Fury, who nodded at him. Then he turned his gaze to Xia Ling and said firmly, "Director Xia, I am willing to accept the mission. No matter what lies ahead, I will do my best."

Xia Ling nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Very good, Frank. From today on, you will be the second special employee of our SHIELD. I am very happy that you can join us."

As Xia Ling finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become much more relaxed, and Nick Fury secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chief, what's next..." Nick Fury asked tentatively, wanting to know more details about the mission Frank was about to perform.

Xia Ling turned back to his desk, picked up a document, quickly glanced through it, and looked up at Frank.

"Frank, do you know anything about the Kingpin?"

The Punisher nodded. He knew Kingpin very well.

This is his old enemy. The Punisher has tried to kill this bastard countless times, but the other party is too alert and his power is too large, so he has never succeeded.

"I'm afraid Jin Bing has joined a cult, or he has been favored by an evil god and founded a cult. Now his whereabouts are unknown, and he may be carrying out some evil intentions."

The Punisher frowned when he heard this, he knew Kingpin's methods very well, if he let this guy succeed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Chief, then my mission..." Frank asked, his voice revealing a bit of urgency.

If it's something similar to the dirty work done by Nick Fury, the Punisher really has no interest in it. The director is not Nick Fury, and he has no intention of helping others do these dirty things.

But since it's Jin Bing, there's nothing much to say.

As long as it's against him, the Punisher is happy to take on the task no matter who the director is.

"Your mission is to find Kingpin, find out his true purpose, and stop his plan if possible."

"Do you have any information on Kingpin's location?"

Xia Ling shook his head slightly: "As for Jin Bing's specific location, the information we currently have is very limited.

He is like a cunning fox, always disappearing without a trace at the most critical moment. However, we have some clues that can guide you to find his whereabouts. Moreover, you are an expert in dealing with Kingpin, I believe you can find him easily. "

As he spoke, Xia Ling took out a sealed envelope from the drawer and handed it to Frank.

Frank took the envelope, opened it, and saw a hand-drawn map and some scattered notes inside.

"These are the clues collected by our intelligence department. The map marks some places where Jin Bing may be hiding, and the notes record some people and activities that may be related to Jin Bing. You need to study these clues carefully and find any trace of Jin Bing." Xia Ling explained.

Frank looked over the map and notes carefully, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.

This information is too confusing. Almost every possible place has been marked. If the Punisher wants to find it, he will die.

"Chief, I understand. I will study these clues as soon as possible and find Kingpin's hiding place." Frank said firmly.

Xia Ling nodded, praising Frank's determination: "Very good, Frank, if you encounter any danger during the mission, you can report to me and ask for support. I will support you to kill him as much as possible."

Frank nodded again, showing no intention of rejecting Xia Ling, and carefully put away the map and notes.

"Chief, I'll leave first. I will act as soon as possible." Frank said.

Xia Ling nodded slightly and watched Frank leave the office.

After Frank left, Xia Ling turned to look at Nick Fury: "Fury, do you have anything else to say?"

Nick Fury immediately put on his standard fake smile, which made Xia Ling feel quite uncomfortable.

This kind of smile is usually shown by small vendors who are ready to rip people off. I didn't expect Nick Fury to be able to do that.

"Director, I actually have an unwelcome request today."

"Since you know it's an unreasonable request, then don't say it."

In one word, what Nick Fury wanted to say was stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to speak or not to speak.

"Fury, if there is nothing else, go back and watch the gate. The safety of S.H.I.E.L.D. rests on your shoulders."

Nick Fury's expression changed slightly, but then he returned to his signature smirk, although it looked a little stiff at the moment.

"In that case, Chief, I will go back to guard the gate."

Nick Fury was extremely unwilling, but he had no choice but to look back every few steps.

But until he reached the door, Xia Ling had no intention of calling him, so he could only leave here helplessly and look for the next opportunity.

"Dad, Dad, wake up, wake up."

Hawkeye only felt that there was a voice calling him, but his eyelids were too heavy and he couldn't open them all at once.

"Patton, wake up, your children are waiting for you."

A firm voice continued to ring in Hawkeye's ears, penetrating the heavy fog of his consciousness with a force that could not be ignored.

He struggled hard, as if fighting against the invisible gravity, and finally, his eyelids slowly and with difficulty opened a crack.

The blurry light penetrated into his eyes and gradually became clearer. He saw the tender and anxious face of his little daughter, her big eyes full of worry and expectation for him.

"Dad, you're finally awake!" the little daughter shouted excitedly, her voice carrying a hint of relief after crying.

Hawkeye looked at his three children and burst into tears. He hugged them in his arms and was unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Barton, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Hawkeye looked up and saw his old friend Matt. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, probably to cover his eyes.

Hawkeye calmed his children down and followed Matt to the side.

As soon as they put some distance between them, Matt roared at Hawkeye in a low voice.

"Barton, did you really make a deal with that devil?"

Facing Matt's anger, Hawkeye nodded in acknowledgment.

"How could you, how dare you, for..."

"For my children, I would make a deal with the devil, even if it meant going to hell."

Matt froze in place, looking closely at Hawkeye.

"Barton, do you really know what you are doing?"
