I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 26 Digesting the Potion

As he spoke, Coulson lifted his foot and walked towards Erin, then his hands naturally reached for the glass jar containing origami cranes in Erin's hand.

However, before Coulson's hands could touch the glass jar in Erin's hands...

The glass jar was taken away by Pepper, who was next to Erin, first.

"As Tony Stark's personal assistant, since this item can be found by Tony, I'll keep it safe for now! I'll go to Afghanistan with you guys later."

Pepper Pepper said this after taking the glass jar from Erin's hand.

Coulson's outstretched hands froze in mid-air.

After a pause, Coulson said helplessly, "Ms. Pepper, Afghanistan is not New York. It's chaotic and dangerous there."

Pepper retorted, "Can't you even protect me? If you can't even protect me, then I have reason to doubt your ability to rescue Tony."

"Of course not..."

Leaving aside Coulson's eagerness to defend himself, Erin immediately frowned upon hearing that Pepper wanted to go to Afghanistan with him, saying, "Aunt Pepper, why don't you stay in New York with me and wait for news? As for professional matters like rescuing people, let professionals like Coulson handle it."

Coulson wasn't exaggerating.

At this time, Afghanistan is synonymous with chaos.

In Afghanistan, various armed groups roam freely.

The people living there have absolutely no guarantee of safety.

Erin didn't want Pepper to be in any danger, so he also tried to persuade Pepper.

However, Pepper clearly doesn't think so.

She shook her head and said, "I've never heard of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, and I don't know their capabilities. But if even I can't be protected, then I'd rather go to the military. After all, everyone has witnessed the military's strength."

"Then we'll have the military handle it..."

Erin didn't want to see Pepper take any risks, and if Pepper insisted, Erin wouldn't mind giving the opportunity to the military.

He can simply refuse Coulson's favor.

Seeing that the duck that was about to be caught was about to fly away, Coulson hurriedly said, "No, our Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency can also guarantee Ms. Pepper's safety. Moreover, our Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency has cooperated with you, Erin, and witnessed your special abilities. We understand your capabilities better, which is why we trust you and send elite agents to rescue Tony Stark."

"As for the military, are you sure those guys will believe your so-called divination and the origami cranes in Ms. Pepper's arms?"

"And even if they believe it, sending the wrong people will only put Tony Stark in even greater danger, whereas our Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency is different..."

Coulson's analysis was very clear and logical, and after hearing it, Pepper couldn't help but abandon her plan to ask the military to intervene and rescue Tony.

She backed down and said, "Okay, I can skip the military, but I still have to go to Afghanistan. Don't worry, I'll just point the way, I won't hold you back..."

finally.

Unable to persuade Pepper, Erin and Coulson reluctantly agreed to his request to accompany him.

·······

After confirmation.

Coulson immediately dialed the number of some lousy bureau chief.

After briefly explaining the situation, Coulson called Nick Fury and requested, "Director, I don't know exactly how many people the terrorist organization that kidnapped Tony Stark has, so this time, I'd like to request more manpower."

On the other end of the phone, Nick Fury didn't immediately approve Coulson's request. Instead, he asked, "Coulson, do you really believe that high school student is some kind of fortune teller? Can what he gives really find Tony Stark?"

Coulson: "Chief, I trust my judgment. The Morning Star Bar incident shattered my worldview and made me realize that the world may not be as simple as it seems."

"Moreover, even if we don't find Tony Stark this time, at most we'll only lose some time. But if we do rescue Tony Stark, what we gain will be far more than just a simple thing..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, it was unclear whether they were thinking about something or weighing the pros and cons.

It wasn't until much later that Nick Fury's voice came through the phone again:

"In that case, I agree to your operation. As for manpower, I will assign you five tactical squads and draw Eagle Eye and Iron Cavalry to assist you in this operation."

Hawkeye and Iron Cavalry.

Upon hearing these two names, Coulson's eyes lit up; these two were top-tier elites of S.H.I.E.L.D.

With their cooperation, Coulson was much more confident about the rescue operation.

"Thank you, Chief! I will not let you down."

After expressing his gratitude, Coulson hung up the phone and drove off with Pepper Pepper in to the nearest base of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency.

There, helicopters ready to fly directly to Afghanistan are already prepared.

As for Hawkeye and his team, they will meet up with them on the way.

········

"Why!"

After Coulson and Pepper left.

Erin sighed inwardly.

In that brief moment, he clearly felt that part of the fortune teller's potion in his body had been digested, probably because more people believed in his role as the fortune teller.

But the thought that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't persuade Pepper to change her mind made Erin feel agitated.

Even digesting the fortune teller's potion couldn't improve his mood.

What Arlin didn't know was that Pepper insisted on keeping the "origami crane" and going to Afghanistan with Coulson and the others. Besides worrying about Tony Stark's safety, part of her motivation was to protect Arlin.

Having worked her way up to become Tony Stark's personal assistant and manage most of Stark Industries, Pepper has witnessed too much darkness.

Therefore, she didn't trust Coulson and his agents at all.

She worried that Coulson and his group would become curious about the secret of the origami crane, take it to study, and then break the secret contract that Erin had placed on it.

If that happens, not only will we be unable to find Tony, but these people might also turn around and question the purpose of the origami crane, and then frame Erin or something.
