American comic book: Start as a corpse collector, choose to cultivate immortality with technology

Following this, the New York City government announced that it would jointly develop Midtown West in Manhattan with the Sullivan Group.

The New York state government abruptly announced that it was recommending Ryan Sullivan for state congressional elections and was giving the entire Governors Island to Ryan Sullivan in exchange for partial development rights to Midtown Manhattan.

One major news story after another broke out out of nowhere, leaving everyone stunned.

Washington, D.C., S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Trident Building.

In a secret conference room, Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce, the Minister of the World Security Council, Maria Hill, a member of the Council and the frontline commander, and others gathered together.

Coulson was like a tool, constantly adjusting the slides on one side of the hall.

Hawkeye Clint Barton remained silent in the corner, like a nobody.

Coulson only stepped down after the slides, which showed a large amount of information about Ryan, Presbyterian Hospital, Sullivan Group, and other entities, had been reviewed.

The lights came on, and Nick Fury, dressed in a black leather jacket, stood solemnly in front of the table, leaning slightly forward.

"Gentlemen, this is the subject of our discussion today, Ryan Sullivan."

"In just seven days, Ryan Sullivan has completely conquered New York and even the entire dark world of the East Coast."

"Frank Castle, retired Captain America Marine Corps officer, was awarded..."

"John Wick, a Russian-born hotel assassin, known as the Night Demon..."

Just as Nick Fury was recounting the immense danger the Sullivan family could pose, there was an abrupt knock on the door.

Nick Fury's expression froze, and a hint of anger began to simmer on his face.

But when Natasha entered the meeting room, the first thing she felt was the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Nick Fury. She quickly gave a polite smile and hurriedly took her seat.

"Agent Romanov, you're late. Do you know how important today's meeting is?"

“Yes, Director Fury, just ten minutes ago I was at the Pentagon discussing cooperation plans with the military, and then I had to spend another ten minutes traveling 22 miles to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters for a meeting. I’m so sorry.”

Nick Fury: "..."

Natasha's words were calm, even a little playful, but the sarcasm in them was clear to everyone.

Nick Fury, in particular, was completely speechless and incredibly embarrassed.

Fortunately, Barton reacted quickly after his initial chuckle and offered a way out, saying, "Natasha, Director Fury is only worried about your safety, not blaming you."

Natasha nodded to Barton upon hearing this, then looked at Nick Fury and said, "Thank you."

Nick Fury: "..."

It's just a show of force, standard procedure. There's no need to keep criticizing this little mistake.

Damn, this year's agents are so hard to manage.

Maria Hill concealed her smile and smoothed things over, saying, "Natasha, Director Fury's request is a bit excessive, please don't take it to heart."

"Why don't you tell me what you've gained from working at the Sullivan Group?"

"Everyone present was very curious about what the Sullivan family's secret weapon was that was able to sweep across the entire East Coast in just seven days."

"Furthermore, what secret cooperation did the military and the Elders' Laboratory reach?"

The topic was easily changed, and everyone's expression turned serious.

Nick Fury also breathed a sigh of relief; the dark purple tinge on his already dark face gradually faded away.

At this point, Natasha also became serious and stopped being sarcastic.

"It is a genetic technology, a gene drug - the lizard serum series, which can transform anyone into a super lizardman warrior within a normal four hours."

"The initial leader of this technology was Professor Connors of the Osborn Group."

"However, two months ago, Ryan Sullivan used $1 million as a bridge to replace Professor Connors through the chairman of the Osborn Group."

“After Ryan Sullivan took over the project, the experiment quickly made key progress.”

"However, instead of showcasing it at the Osborn Corporation, Ryan Sullivan secretly transferred this technological achievement to the Elders' Laboratory..."

Thank you to the generous donor, Emperor Ming of Sui (Yang Guang)! Um, is Emperor Ming of Sui serious? Okay, fine, the donor says Emperor Ming is indeed Emperor Ming. Hooray!

Chapter 44 S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Attention, Hydra's Tentacles

The information Natasha shared in the S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room was naturally obtained with Ryan's consent.

The lizard serum and supplements have yielded experimental results, and an agreement has been reached with the military. Even if the information is leaked, we are not afraid of anyone coveting them.

After all, among the beneficiaries who were the first to enjoy the fruits of the experiment was America's military.

This is a super behemoth.

Anyone who tries to seize the benefits will first face the enthusiastic support of America's military.

Therefore, it's a good deal for Natasha to exchange this not-so-secret secret for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trust and position.

A double agent? That's nothing to Natasha.

In the S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room.

While presenting the information, Natasha quickly took a few ornaments from her hair, casually manipulated them, and assembled them into a mini USB drive.

The USB drive contained test videos of the Super Lizard Warriors, as well as some recordings of their actions.

The video, which resembled a science fiction movie, made everyone gasp in shock.

Especially after seeing the super lizardman warrior get hit head-on by a rocket and then recover quickly, the breathing rhythms of people like Nick Fury and Alexander became distorted.

"Agent Romanov, why didn't you report such important intelligence sooner?"

"If we had reported this sooner, we could have prevented the military from intervening..."

Nick Fury is genuinely interested in this genetic technology.

Stable, controllable, and powerful, and with a certain degree of control over the source, it can bring enormous benefits to S.H.I.E.L.D., whether for internal use or for upper-level transactions.

But before he could finish speaking, Nick Fury realized he was getting a little anxious.

Taking a deep breath, Nick Fury quickly regained his composure.

“Sorry!” Nick Fury nodded apologetically to Natasha and continued, “I’m just worried that this kind of genetic technology will become rampant, after all, the Sullivan family is powerful!”

"Natasha, have you obtained the core technology for this lizard serum?"

"This extraordinary power is strong and dangerous. We must ensure that it does not endanger the safety of the world..."

When it comes to shamelessness, Nick Fury takes the cake.

No one present believed the noble cause the other party spoke of, but no one dared to expose it.

Natasha, however, sneered inwardly but remained expressionless, saying, "Director Fury, do you think Ryan Sullivan would let a newcomer like me, who has only been with the company for two months, have access to core technologies?"

"Please, two months ago you told me that the Sullivan family would soon be taken care of by the Cent family and the Russian Bear Gang."

"Then the Cent family disappeared, the Russian Bear Gang disappeared, and even Kingpin disappeared."

“When I first joined the company, I was just a lowly accountant at the Presbyterian Hospital. It’s quite an achievement that I’m now Ryan Sullivan’s personal financial assistant.”

"The Sullivan Group is a powerful and influential company, and its members are truly remarkable!"

"If I stand out too much, if I show any special qualities, I will quickly disappear."

Nick Fury: "..."

Just now, did I get criticized again?

Damn Fuck.

Who the hell would have thought that a seemingly ordinary person could turn out so abruptly and unexpectedly?

"Ahem!" Nick Fury coughed twice and said, "Agent Romanov has indeed worked hard."

"I'll promote you after the operation is over—no, right now."

"Congratulations, Natasha, you are now a Level 7 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

The current Nick Fury has only recently taken over the directorship from Alexander, and he is not yet the cunning old fox who can control all his emotions (PS: In Captain Marvel, Nick Fury in the 80s was still a low-ranking agent, so it's reasonable that he took over the directorship in the early 21st century).

After a clear, even somewhat rudimentary, attempt to win people's hearts.

The meeting room fell silent once again.

Nick Fury was constantly criticized by Natasha, compounded by the overall misjudgment made by S.H.I.E.L.D. two months prior.

When it comes to Natasha, no one can say that the other has any faults.

Alexander, who had been mostly silent, glanced at Nick Fury almost imperceptibly.

I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it.

Alexander chuckled lightly, drawing everyone's attention, before speaking: "Natasha, let's not talk about what happened before. Nick has only just taken over as director and needs time to grow."

"Now, welcome to the S.H.I.E.L.D. family. Let's work together for world security from now on."

With just a few words, Alexander won everyone's favor.

Even Natasha had to admit that the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was very approachable.

At the very least, he's much better than Nick Fury, that guy.
