Marvel: Just became a citizen of the motherland, and S.H.I.E.L.D. came knocking on my door.

It's perfectly understandable that anyone who's been imprisoned in S.H.I.E.L.D. for so long would want to get out and have some fun.

So Li Wei casually found a chair nearby, sat down, and asked.

"If that's the case, why did you come here, to an orphanage?"

"I don't know, I just wandered around and ended up here. I saw a lot of children here, and they were studying and having classes, so I thought I'd stay here a little longer and spend time with them..."

Aresa leaned down and answered softly.

Now, I'm sitting on the curb in the orphanage, hugging my knees.

While speaking, he stared blankly at the children in the orphanage who were having a lesson.

Following her gaze, I noticed a warm and cozy class taking place inside the classroom.

The teacher is patiently teaching the children knowledge and English, with a kind and friendly smile on her face.

Li Wei noticed a hint of longing and envy in Aresa's eyes.

"..."

Li Wei's expression shifted slightly.

Of course I know that Alessa in Silent Hill is actually a very pitiful little girl.

After being born, she was born because her mother had an affair with another man, and she had no father.

Because of her single-parent family background, she was often bullied by other students in the town, and later suffered cruel torture at the hands of cult members.

They almost burned him to death with flames.

Even when the pyre collapsed due to an accident, he was rescued.

However, her skin was already ulcerated all over, and she was in a state worse than death. It can be said that she was a very pitiful little girl.

"Having never received love and warmth since childhood, you must feel a special longing and envy when you see the warm and cozy scenes in the orphanage before you...?"

Li Wei murmured to himself.

After thinking about it, Li Wei felt that forcibly taking Alessa back now would be too cruel and inhumane.

Given Nick Fury's personality, once Alessa is brought back, she will definitely be kept under even closer guard and imprisoned.

Then Alessa will return to those lonely little rooms, cold and desolate...

Perhaps it's because he was the one who brought her out of Silent Hill in the first place.

So I actually have a strange feeling for this little girl.

Now, looking at Aresa, who appears quiet, even somewhat delicate and pitiful, she is a little girl.

Some soft corners of Li Wei's heart were touched.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei asked.

"How long do you plan to stay here?"

“I don’t know either…” Alessa shook her head and said, “I don’t want to go back yet, I want to stay with them.”

"Alright, in that case, you can stay here as long as you like, and I'll handle things with S.H.I.E.L.D."

"However, you must promise me that you will not cause any trouble here, and you will not interfere with the normal lives of the ordinary people in the orphanage."

"And if you want to leave here in the future, you need to inform me in advance, can you do that?"

Alessa seemed somewhat surprised to hear that Levi was willing to let her stay here and did not intend to take her away.

She looked up, staring blankly at Li Wei, and then saw only a smile on Li Wei's face.

"..."

A moment later, Alessa nodded seriously.

He said "okay".

So, Li Wei nodded slightly, greeted Alessa, and then turned and left the orphanage.

Its body shot into the sky like a cannonball and disappeared from the spot.

Ten minutes later.

After returning to the Vought Company, Levi told Nick Fury about the situation at the orphanage.

She also stated that she could act as a guarantor to allow Aresa to stay there temporarily, and that she would handle any consequences or situations that might arise.

......

"This guy..."

Now, in Nick Fury's office at S.H.I.E.L.D., in the Tri-Wing Building.

After seeing the message from Li Wei, saying that everything was fine with Alessa and nothing unexpected had happened,

Nick Fury couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his expression relaxing.

Fortunately, Li Wei stepped in and found the guy.

Otherwise, if Alessa escaped into the bustling city center, it could cause a mass casualty incident.

Then my position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is really going to be over!

Although the other party's request to allow Alessa to continue her activities outside for a while and not to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately made her feel somewhat troubled and worried.

But considering that Li Wei, a fellow countryman, had made a promise that he would take responsibility and cover for any situation, it was acceptable.

After all, as long as Alessa stays here and doesn't run around or act on her own, she shouldn't cause any trouble.

It's better to leave her at the orphanage than to let her run off to who-knows-where...

While Nick Fury was pondering this,

Suddenly, at this moment.

My office door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.

When Nick Fury looked up, he saw that it was Tony Stark coming over.

And now he is full of anger, his expression furious, as if he is about to interrogate someone.

Chapter 53 S.H.I.E.L.D.: In our eyes, our countrymen are more important to us than Iron Man!

Upon reaching Nick Fury, Tony slammed his hand heavily on the table and loudly questioned him.

"Hey! Nick Fury, I'm asking you, did you guys help get Justin Hammer, that guy from Hammer Industries, out of prison?!"

Seeing the accusing expression on the other party's face, Nick Fury knew that the other party must have known about the relevant intelligence before coming to him.

After all, Stark Industries was originally a weapons supplier for the government and had connections and relationships with certain government officials.

Presumably, they learned from them that Stin Hammer was rescued from prison through S.H.I.E.L.D.

Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Nick Fury leaned back in his chair and said in a nonchalant tone.

"We helped release them."

"Why? Tell me the reason!"

Tony asked angrily.

"You know perfectly well that Hammer Industries, under his control, caused so many casualties at the weapons exhibition, and that he even funded that madman Ivan Whiplash, who almost killed me at the racetrack, and yet you still want to release him?! Have you gone mad?!"

After the incident with Whiplash Ivan ended some time ago, I had already agreed to let this bald guy join S.H.I.E.L.D. as a technical consultant.

As a result, while he was busy researching the Mark Armor after going into seclusion, the other party turned around and pulled his business competitor out of prison.

Just a few days ago, I heard from Little Chili that Hammer Industries had recovered.

The prospect of resuming full-scale competition with Stark Industries' business made Tony feel betrayed.

So now they come here to question Nick Fury about his intentions and what he means by doing this.

"It was requested by the people of our motherland, and I was just doing what he said to gain favor."

Nick Fury replied.

"What? A fellow countryman, Li Wei? It's that guy again?!"

Tony was taken aback by Nick Fury's reply.

His eyes immediately flashed with an increasingly fiery expression.

How come it's this guy who's behind this again?

There was a heated debate online some time ago about who was more capable and more helpful to American citizens, either themselves or Li Wei, a Chinese national.

At the time, many people in the online comments mocked him as a coward who could only hide inside a steel armor.

He can only move around wearing his own steel armor, no matter where he goes.

No one is as brave as Li Wei, a native of our country, who directly confronted the eerie and terrifying vengeful spirits with his physical body and fought against terrorists.

It annoyed me quite a bit at the time.

And now this guy is the one who got Justin Hammer out of jail?!

"Why do you obey his orders so readily? Do you think he's your real father?!"

Tony said sternly.

"Don't you know that Justin Hammer and Stark Industries are competitors, and have had several business conflicts with us in the past?"

"Furthermore, the other party has even committed crimes, causing so much civil unrest in the past!"

"You invited me to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and I agreed. Is this how you repay me now? You blindly obeyed that patriot and then betrayed me?"

Tony said angrily and sarcastically.

And when Tony got emotional, he started using language that included personal attacks and insults.

Nick Fury was also somewhat annoyed. He snorted coldly and replied, "Tony, that's because in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes, our own people are more important to us than you!"

"what?!"

Tony was stunned by Nick Fury's answer, never expecting him to say that.

"Why... tell me a reason!"

Tony asked incredulously, his voice trembling with excitement.

That guy who wears a Stars and Stripes cape every day, parading around like he's cosplaying an arrogant and conceited character.

This bald, braised man in front of me actually said that, in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes, the other party is more important than himself?

I can't accept it... I simply can't accept it!

Nick Fury snorted and immediately pulled out a large stack of documents from under the drawer on the table.

It slammed heavily in front of Tony.

"During this period, Vought International, founded by Levi, has been fighting terrorists and protecting national security around the world. It has solved at least 50 terrorist and paranormal cases worldwide, making a great contribution to protecting the safety of citizens and greatly relieving the pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D."

"And you, Tony? You've been holed up in your Stark Industries all this time. Even when SHIELD staff send you messages, you don't get any replies. And you often disappear without a trace. What help have you provided to SHIELD?"

"I, I..."

Hearing Nick Fury's resounding answer and counter-question, and seeing the unloading certificate displayed before him.

Tony Stark deflated like a punctured balloon, his voice weak as he spoke.

"I, too, have been conducting my own research on battle armor, improving my steel suit..."

"But what was the result?" Nick Fury said coldly, "Who saw the results?"

"One has openly helped S.H.I.E.L.D. on numerous occasions, carried out many dangerous missions, and assisted S.H.I.E.L.D. in fighting and combating terrorists and solving paranormal and terrorist cases around the world. The other only stays in his room, spending all day researching so-called suits, but without any remarkable results."

"If you had to choose between these two guys, who would you pick, Tony?"

Before him stood a playboy who always indulged in debauchery, lingering in all sorts of glamorous and decadent places, arrogant and haughty.

Nick Fury had actually been enduring this for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person's father, Howard Stark, was one of the original founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. and was once his superior, he would have done anything.

And he has been of great help to S.H.I.E.L.D., so I really didn't want to have any contact with this guy in the first place.

He even shamelessly told this guy the formula for the Arc Reactor that Howard Stark had entrusted to him, saving his life from palladium poisoning.
