The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 392, 700, and 701: Nick Fury is actually a great philanthropist.

If Nick Fury hadn't repeatedly emphasized to Captain America and Hawkeye before the battle that they absolutely must not harm the symbiote on Adrian Tooms, Hawkeye would never have used the sonic arrow for that attack; he would have used the much more lethal high-explosive arrow instead.

Even if this doesn't guarantee a fatal blow, it will definitely render Adrian Tooms and the symbiote incapable of fighting instantly.

but……

Who told him to have a domineering and unyielding boss with a bald head?

What else can Hawkeye do?
Of course, you should obediently follow the orders!
Otherwise, from now on, you'll be constantly being given the cold shoulder by your boss.

Therefore, even the 'Incendiary Arrow' that Hawkeye is currently using is also a configuration with half the power!
Ugh, I'm so tired...

"Whoosh-"

The 'Burning Arrow' struck Adrian Tooms's back with perfect accuracy, hitting a symbiotic giant fist that had transformed from wings, and flames shot into the sky.

"Uh ah ah..."

Adrian Tooms, scorched by the flames, and the Symbiote both let out a shrill scream. Then, he turned the spear that had materialized from his arm into a sharp greatsword, and with a single slash, he severed the burning symbiote's giant fist from behind.

Its ruthlessness left even Hawkeye speechless.

"You're asking for it!!"

Adrian Tooms suddenly looked in the direction of Hawkeye, and then a pair of black wings materialized behind him again, though they were much smaller than before. He then flapped his wings and shot towards the rooftop where Hawkeye was hiding like an arrow.

"boom--"

However, he had only flown a dozen meters when he crashed head-on into an invisible force field barrier.

Needless to say, the one who made the move was the "Invisible Woman".

But this time, Adrian Tooms did not give up after hitting a wall; he suddenly shot straight into the night sky.

Through the battle just now, he had roughly figured out the Invisible Woman's abilities.

Although the opponent possesses the superpower to release force field barriers, it is clearly impossible to achieve large-area coverage. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to trap him inside a bowl-shaped 'isolation chamber'?
And the facts proved Adrian Tooms to be just as he had predicted.

After his body grew a few meters taller, he successfully scaled the invisible force field barrier without any hindrance. Then, his arm transformed into a sharp blade nearly ten meters long, which he slashed directly down at the roof where [Hawkeye] was hiding.

“Oh, shit?!”

Seeing this, Eagle Eye quickly shot an arrow with a rope attached to its tail towards a large tree opposite him, and then leaped outwards before the giant blade that was about to strike him fell, barely dodging the fatal blow.

However, Adrian Tooms, who was completely enraged, was not going to let him off so easily and continued to swing his greatsword and chase after Hawkeye.

If it weren't for the Black Widow in the sky using the cannon on the bottom of the Quinjet to harass him from a distance, giving the Rock Golem enough time to arrive and provide support, Hawkeye would probably have been taken offline on the spot!

"Bang bang bang-"

"Boom boom boom——"

On one side is Adrian Tooms, unleashing his full power, and on the other side are the Avengers, hesitant and timid in order to carry out Nick Fury's orders. The difficulty of the battle is self-evident.

However, while everyone was engaged in a fierce battle outside, an uninvited guest silently appeared at Adrian Tooms's home and forcibly took her daughter away.

Let's rewind a few minutes.

"Hello, you two must be family members of [Vulture], right?"

Francis Barrison appeared out of nowhere behind Adrian Tooms' wife and daughter, who were standing by the window nervously watching the battle on the street. He grinned maliciously at the horrified girl opposite him, "Tsk tsk tsk, I really found it, a shiny lure that can catch the Vulture!"

"Who...who are you, and why are you in my house?"

Chery pulled his frightened daughter behind him and threatened in a trembling voice, "Madam, if you don't leave here right now, I'm calling the police!"

"Sorry, your answer was incorrect."

Francis Barrison wore a sickly smile as he pointed at the girl being protected behind the other man and said, "My target is that little beauty..."

Having said that, she grabbed Chery and threw him against the wall, then knocked out the girl who was about to scream, hoisted her onto her shoulder, and said to Chery, who was rolling on the ground and temporarily unable to get up:

"Tell Vulture that my wedding with Cletus will be held at Grace Church. If he wants his daughter back... I mean, alive, he'd better come there alone."

"Let go of my daughter." Chiri, her face contorted in pain, reached out, trying to grab the other woman's trouser leg—the only thing she could do. "Please...please don't do this, or my husband will kill you all!!"

"do you know?"

Francis Barrison suddenly stopped, then looked at the other person with an arrogant expression and said, "Many people have tried to kill me and Cletus before... but without exception, it was all these people who died!"

With that, she kicked Qi Rui unconscious with a 'bang', and then silently disappeared into the dark night with the Silent Girl.

When Chery woke up a few minutes later, he found that Francis Barrison and his daughter Liz had disappeared.

So she struggled to run outside and shouted to Adrian Tooms, who was fighting Captain America and the other Avengers on the other side of the street:

"Ed...they've kidnapped Liz!!!"

"what?"

Adrian Tooms, who had been locked in combat with Captain America and the others and was even gaining a slight advantage, immediately abandoned his attack upon hearing this. With a sudden flap of his wings, he flew to his wife and eagerly inquired:

"What happened? Who kidnapped Liz?!"

"It's a woman. She said she's getting married to a man named Cletus at Grace Church and wants you to go there alone to bring Liz back... Hurry, hurry and bring Liz back!"

"Damn it, is it that bastard Cletus Casadi?" Although Adrian Tooms had no prior dealings with Cletus Casadi, they had a few brief encounters after Eddie Block gave them the [Loyal Symbiote] status.

However, he deeply hated that pervert who only enjoyed killing!
That's right, Adrian Tooms' assessment of Cletus Cassady is... an absolute psychopath!
"Calm down, darling. Don't worry, I will definitely bring our daughter back safe and sound."

Having said that, Adrian Tooms completely ignored Captain America and the others who were rushing towards him from behind. He flapped his wings and shot into the sky like an arrow, disappearing into the dark night sky in the blink of an eye.

"Captain, target lost..."

Black Widow's voice immediately came through the communicator, "He's just too fast, the Quinjet can't keep up at all."

Captain America walked solemnly to the unsteady Chery and asked in a deep voice, "Madam, can you tell me what you just said to Adrian Tooms?"

"I'm sorry, Captain, this concerns my daughter's safety, so I cannot disclose any information."

Although Chery usually admires great heroes like Captain America who are 'selfless', she dares not take any risks when it comes to her daughter.

Captain America frowned slightly upon hearing this, and was about to speak to persuade him when he suddenly heard Nick Fury's emotionless and forceful voice behind him.

"Madam, if you refuse to cooperate, I can send you straight to jail right now on charges of endangering public safety and harboring a criminal... Then you will never see your daughter again!"

Actually, Nick Fury originally didn't plan to show up. In his opinion, the new Avengers would have no problem dealing with a mere Vulture.
Unexpectedly, his "excessive" demands before the operation directly led to the entire capture mission going very poorly.

But the real reason he had to show himself was that the person who had just been captured was not Adrian Tooms's daughter, but one of his most secretive 'trump cards'—a Skrull in disguise!

Meanwhile, Adrian Tooms' real daughter was already being held captive in a secret safe house belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.

After learning that the locator originally placed on the Skrull girl had suddenly lost signal, Nick Fury instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so he rushed over to check on the situation.

What Nick Fury was really worried about wasn't whether the Skrull girl would have an accident... but that if she died, her ability to disguise and transform would be canceled.

By then, his 'trump card' will inevitably become known to the world. Regardless of whether he and S.H.I.E.L.D. will be suspected and ostracized by the Security Council, it is certain that after learning of this news, all parties will begin to study various methods to prevent the Skrulls.

This will drastically increase the difficulty for Nick Fury to use the Skrulls' disguise abilities to gather intelligence in the future, a result that would be an absolutely unacceptable and significant loss for him!
Therefore, he had to find a way to rescue the Skrull girl before something happened to her.

The first thing Nick Fury needs to do right now is to get the woman in front of him to talk!

Seeing that the other party was beginning to waver under his forceful coercion, Nick Fury coldly pressed on again:

"If you don't want to watch your daughter be adopted by another family, you'd better answer the question while I still have the patience... What did you say to Adrian Tooms?"

Cherie was just an ordinary housewife; she had never seen a ruthless character like Nick Fury before. She immediately staggered, her mental defenses completely crumbling, and said with a pale face:

“A woman just broke into my house, kidnapped my daughter, and asked me to tell Ed that she would take our daughter to a place called Grace Church…”

That short sentence seemed to have completely drained Chery of all her strength. She trembled and collapsed to the ground, looking at Nick Fury with a pleading expression, saying:

"Sir, please, you must save my daughter! She's innocent!"

Nick Fury ignored the other party's pleas and instead, with a cold face, addressed Captain America and the others sternly:

"Head to the Church of Grace immediately! At all costs, we must successfully retrieve the symbiote from Adrian Tooms... and ensure the girl's safety!!"

After saying that, as if noticing the strange looks he was getting, Nick Fury deliberately added, "I absolutely cannot allow innocent children to be harmed right under the noses of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Σ(⊙▽⊙“a???

WTF? ? ?

What the hell?

Is this black man in front of us really the same bald-headed, ruthless man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals?

Could he have been possessed?
Captain America and the others exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this!
After all, they had known Nick Fury for a long time and were very familiar with his usual behavior.

When has this guy ever cared about the safety of ordinary people?
Moreover, they had never seen Nick Fury so proactive when it came to matters concerning ordinary people!

Something's not right, something's not right, there's definitely something fishy going on here!

what?
You mentioned that during the Battle of New York in 12, Nick Fury strongly opposed the order from the UN Security Council to drop nuclear bombs on New York?

They would even go so far as to use rocket launchers to bomb fighter jets?
Because he is kind...

He's the real hero (ugh)!
Please, think about it again. Does he really care about the people of New York City?

Don't you even look where that fighter jet carrying the nuclear bomb took off from?
That took off directly from his [Sky Carrier]!

If New York were actually 'nuclearized' as a result, do you think the world would believe it was an order given by Nick Fury, or an order given by the UN Security Council?
Furthermore, who can say for sure that Nick Fury might be pushed forward by Alexander Pierce and the UN Security Council to take the blame for the 'nuclear destruction of New York' and quell the anger of people around the world?

How could someone as calculating as Nick Fury not understand such a simple matter of interests?
That's why he meticulously and openly performed a top-notch maneuver of shooting a fighter jet with a rocket launcher in front of everyone, thus completely absolving himself of responsibility!

In this way, even if New York is nuked, it will have absolutely nothing to do with Nick Fury!

Why do you say this way?
Because if the fighter jet that Nick Fury hit really was carrying a nuclear bomb, wouldn't one RPG from him wipe out him and the entire SkyCarrier?

Without absolute certainty, how could an extremely selfish person like Nick Fury possibly risk his precious life so casually?
So, do people still think that when he blocked the nuclear missile launch, he was genuinely concerned about the safety of the people of New York?
answer me!
Look in my eyes!

Moreover, over the years, the actions of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers have indirectly caused countless civilian deaths and property losses. Have you ever seen them mention or compensate for such losses even once?

If he truly cared so much about civilians, how could he possibly agree to a genocide plan as inhumane as Project Insight?
That's why Captain America and the others showed those strange expressions when they heard Nick Fury's hypocritical and pretentious words.

Even the later-joined [Thunder] and [Invisible Woman] began to have some doubts about the girl's true identity. Could she be Nick Fury's illegitimate daughter with the Silent woman in front of him?
Nick Fury naturally couldn't guess what everyone was really thinking, but even if he had, he couldn't be bothered to explain, because all he cared about now was whether he could rescue the Skrull girl alive.
