Chapter 26 Nick Fury Giving in

"Coulson, what do you think it would feel like for an ordinary person to have a superhuman appear in their life?"

Coulson, who had just finished supervising his old superior at the farm, was accompanying Xia Ling on an inspection tour after returning to headquarters when he suddenly heard this question.

"Chief, I think this is a difficult question for me to answer," Coulson said slowly, his voice revealing a gentle tone born of deep thought.

"For an ordinary person, the sudden appearance of a superpowered individual in their life is undoubtedly a complex and profound experience."

"Oh, really? Aren't you scared?"

Xia Ling casually snatched the mouse and keyboard from an employee in the department who was playing games. This person had been playing games for a long time, and even played in front of him.

Do you really think that just because you've been single for decades, your hand speed is that fast?

And he's so bad at it, he dies so many times even when playing Metal Slug, and the most ridiculous thing is that he can even be killed by a big knife thrown by a bandit.

What kind of newbie is this? Move aside! Let me, the chief, broaden your horizons and show you what it means to clear the game in one life.

"It's natural to be afraid, but people's reactions to fear vary from person to person."

Although Xia Ling's blatant act of taking over an employee's computer to play games during work hours left him speechless, as a seasoned "tool," he could only pretend not to see it and answer Xia Ling's question in a serious manner.

"It varies from person to person? How does it vary from person to person?"

Coulson nodded slightly, his gaze lingering briefly on the game screen in Xia Ling's hand before quickly returning to his clear and logical analysis: "Director, everyone's psychological resilience, background experiences, and acceptance of the unknown are different, which directly affects their reaction when facing superpowered individuals."

"Oh, is that so? Remember that? Next time you see this boss, you need to be quick. How can you fight a boss if you're clumsy?"

"Understood, Chief, I've learned it!"

Looking at the two of them, Coulson was speechless for a moment, unsure whether Director Xia was even listening to him.

Sure enough, I was just a lowly agent, with little influence.

Patting the rookie on the shoulder, Xia Ling told him to do it himself and not to bother the director with everything, as the director was very busy.

"Coulson, how about I put you in charge of a force composed of superhumans?"

Xia Ling continued to ask as she walked.

Upon hearing this, Coulson paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Director, didn't you say Mr. Nick Fury would be the commander of the superpowered forces? Why am I in command today?"

Xia Ling shook his head, giving him an expression that said, "How can you be so insensible, kid?"

He said in a tone of disappointment, "You lot, you don't even know how to listen to instructions, how can you possibly get anything done? I clearly said I was asking him if he was interested, not that I was preparing to appoint him as commander."

Coulson was immediately stunned. The director was playing word games. His tone and hints at the time made anyone think that he really intended to make Nick Fury the commander of the unit.

So, now the bureau chief is pulling this stunt?

Coulson couldn't help but silently mourn for Mr. Nick Fury, and at the same time, he made up his mind.

"Chief, you're right. I misunderstood. I've completed the personal task you assigned me. The pager is on me; I'll leave it when I get to the office."

"No need, just give it to me now."

Xia Ling interrupted Coulson, extending his hand to signal Coulson to hand him the pager.

Seeing that Xia Ling insisted, Coulson did not dare to object and immediately took out a pager from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Xia Ling.

Xia Ling didn't care at all about the crowds and distractions.

Now that the item is in his hands, how could anyone possibly steal it?

Xia Ling took the pager, gave it a quick squeeze, and then put it in her pocket.

"Coulson, you're very efficient. I'm quite satisfied. Keep up the good work next time."

Coulson gave an awkward laugh. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke up and said, "Chief, Mr. Nick Fury has already given in, so let's not bother him anymore."

"As for this pager, he probably let me have it on purpose. Otherwise, given my abilities, it's unrealistic to expect to get what Mr. Nick Fury values ​​from me."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. He stopped and turned to face Coulson.

"Of course I know. I didn't expect you to be capable of stealing something right under Nick Fury's nose when I sent you to get this pager."

That really hurts.

Coulson's heart was ice-cold.

Xia Ling glanced at him and immediately understood what the old village chief was thinking. He truly lived up to his reputation as an honest man among famous special agents. Did he really think that he would let him carry out a mission that he couldn't possibly do?

"Coulson, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to belittle you. Actually, this arrangement was something I designed on purpose. Cefrey is a smart man; he understands me and he understands you."

The reason I sent you to get it was to see if Nick Fury would back down and concede defeat, not because I had any expectations of your abilities.

I'm so sorry I don't have that ability.

For a moment, Coulson didn't know whether to be thankful that he wouldn't be assigned to a task beyond his capabilities, or to feel disappointed that his abilities were being belittled.

"Let's leave it at that, Coulson. I think you could command a force of superhumans."

"Chief, I don't have superpowers, how could I possibly command a force of superpowered individuals?"

Coulson shook his head repeatedly. Whether he could successfully steal something from Nick Fury was still up for debate, but Coulson felt that he was not incapable of doing it himself.

But when it came to commanding a superhuman force, Coulson knew he was incapable, so he didn't want to embarrass himself.

"Everyone needs to have dreams, right? Even if you don't have superpowers, it doesn't matter. Look, Hawkeye doesn't have superpowers either, but I'm still planning to have him join this unit as a squad leader, aren't I, Patton?"

Xia Ling patted Hawkeye on the shoulder, which startled the medieval man.

Hawkeye glanced at Xia Ling with displeasure, but upon seeing his kind eyes, he immediately put on a serious expression.

"Yes, the director is right. It's okay if you don't have superpowers."

After Hawkeye finished speaking, he pulled up his sleeve, revealing the muscles inside, and even bulged them out to indicate his strength.

"So, Coulson, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xia Ling smiled at him, signaling to the honest man not to be nervous.

"Yes, Chief, I..."

"Anyway, you're just a mouthpiece."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Ling began muttering to herself, and Coulson was completely taken aback.

I shouldn't have had any expectations of the bureau chief!
