The mechanical craze in Marvel

He also had no intention of making further contact with Carol Danvers.

Considering my own magnanimity.

And since there was no direct conflict of interest, Nolan felt he could tolerate those minor grievances from before.

After all, the input and output that bring you pleasure are not necessarily equal.

He is a businessman.

Naturally, he should prioritize his own interests, and at least in this matter, he is perfectly capable of doing so.

However, he ultimately couldn't enjoy a period of leisure for long.

"Nolan, I've received some news recently."

Tony Stark sat in Nolan's office.

At this moment, the entire office was sealed off, and even Sharon Carter couldn't get in.

Yes, that's perfectly normal.

Nolan has never forgotten that Sharon Carter also has the identity of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

Even if Sharon Carter's stance is currently ambiguous, that's no reason for him to forget about it.

"what's up?"

Nolan was somewhat puzzled.

"We might be in trouble."

Tony Stark's serious expression surprised Nolan.

Given Tony Stark's arrogance, there aren't many things in this world that would make him take things so seriously.

Tony Stark said:

"You should remember the monster that fought Bruce a few years ago, right?"

"Hate? Of course I remember."

Nolan nodded.

That was the battle that made him famous.

It was after that incident that Nolan truly earned the title of "Hero."

This battle marked the beginning of his transformation from a naive arms dealer in the eyes of many into a powerful figure.

Why are you bringing this up?

Nolan still didn't quite understand.

"Through information from S.H.I.E.L.D., I learned some intelligence."

Three days ago, Captain Marvel dealt with an unusual incident, which I didn't pay much attention to.

However, subsequent intelligence revealed that the matter was not so simple.

It was a monster-extermination war, and the targets were monsters somewhat similar to the Abomination.

Nolan frowned upon hearing this.

Hate!

He never expected that things would involve Hatred.

“I’m absolutely certain of it.”

Nolan spoke.

He killed the abomination with his own hands.

Tony Stark did not refute, but simply said:

"So it's obvious we missed some intelligence, I suspect..."

At this point, Tony Stark's expression grew even more serious, his voice lowered slightly, and he continued:

"The military may have restarted its research program on abomination."

Nolan shook his head and said:

"Isn't this normal?"

In fact, I never thought that research on hatred would stop.

Those hawks won't let any means to strengthen their power slip by, even if those means carry enormous risks; but the military isn't stupid.

As he spoke, a possibility suddenly flashed through Nolan's mind.

"Instead of that, I think there's some private research going on."

I loathe it.

Nolan also felt a bit of a headache.

The previous hatred seemed to have been easily resolved by him.

But you have to understand that at that time, Abomination had just been born and had just fought a major battle with the military and Hulk.

He's not at his peak at all.

If it were a peak Abomination, even with Nolan's strength back then, he might not have been able to handle it, or at least it wouldn't have been so easy.

Most importantly, hatred is a product born from the Hulk's cells.

Was that researcher studying hatred cells or Hulk cells?

Hate cells may have limited potential.

But the Hulk cells have unlimited power of rage!

“Samuel Stern…”

Nolan whispered the name once; he had actually forgotten about this person's existence.

Samuel Stern is no simple character.

If history hadn't changed, it wasn't just hatred that changed that night.

Samuel Stern did not gain great power as a result, but he did gain a large head.

That big head gave him a hundred times the wisdom he had before.

This is a very terrible thing.

Researching Hulk cells is not easy for others, but for Samuel Stern?

He had already studied Hulk cells for many years and gained a brain that was far more intelligent than before.

"You're right, we are indeed in trouble, big trouble."

Nolan emphasized this point.

Then he spoke:

"No matter who is studying hatred, all we can do is nip the potential danger in the bud and never let it erupt."

If hatred were to resurface, the entire world could be in danger, and we wouldn't even know what it is this time.

"Tony, I need you to use Ultron to begin a massive data search of all of New York, no, including everything around New York. We need to find the possible locations of the enemy, and I'll also have Red Queen begin her investigation simultaneously."

"Understood, I will inform the others about this."

Tony nodded; that was precisely why he had come to see Nolan.

This is also a collaboration between the Watchers. The Watchers are no longer just the two of them; Bruce Banner and Dr. Hank Pym have also been contacted.

Compared to their previous small group, the current four-person group allows them to exert greater strength.

After Tony Stark left, Nolan shook his head helplessly.

"Red Queen, search for people similar to Samuel Stern, paying particular attention to their heads, which may be much larger than normal."

Samuel Stern, what a distant memory.

Ultimately, however, this is only a possibility, and the probability is not high.

If Samuel Stern were still alive, how could it have taken so long for clues to emerge?

But something else deserved his attention.

He took out a spirit orb.

The sphere is filled with energy, and all sorts of colorful energies are constantly flowing within it.

This orb was an important item he brought back from the Spider-Man world, and its colorful energy is a manifestation of the multiverse.

The energy is almost fully charged.

Nolan sighed inwardly.

This thing is extremely dangerous; the energy it contains is enough to destroy a city.

Actually, he had a way, which was to hand this thing over to the Ancient One to make it.

The Ancient One even allows him to travel through the multiverse, so this problem can obviously be solved very easily.

But he was unwilling to do so.

After all, this is an opportunity to learn about the multiverse.

Although he knew that this was very likely the Ancient One's goal, he had to admit that he was indeed tempted.

Nolan put the Spirit Orb away and temporarily set the matter aside.

Now is not the time to worry about these things.

A moment later, Sharon Carter walked in and said:

"Boss, do we have to work overtime today?"

Nolan shook his head.

"Never mind, I want to go back and rest early."

Sharon Carter was somewhat surprised, as Nolan rarely did this in her memory.
