I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 502 Is Nick Fury still Nick Fury?

Upon hearing this, Tony walked over, took the tattered vibranium shield from Steve's hand, examined it carefully for a while, and then said:

"Although Elder Baiyan's forte is not forging weapons and shields, repairing this shield is just a simple matter for her."

"However, when my father forged this shield, although he perfectly showcased the properties of vibranium, the forging process was limited by the technology and forging techniques of the time. In today's view, the forging process of this vibranium shield can only be described as average."

"So in my opinion, instead of patching it up, it would be better to buy some more vibranium and other malleable materials and have Elder Baiyan help us remelt this shield."

After handing the shield back to Captain America, Tony stroked his chin and said, "Speaking of vibranium, before I left Earth, I contacted a black market dealer who supposedly managed to get his hands on some vibranium."

Tony gestured with his hand over the shattered hole in the vibranium shield, saying, "Although I don't know exactly how many he has, repairing this shield shouldn't be a problem."

"GOOD, this is good news."

After saying that, Steve looked at Tony and asked, "After I regained consciousness, S.H.I.E.L.D. helped me win a lot of lawsuits. Yeah, we got a lot of money back from those manufacturers who made toys related to me. I'm not short of money now, so how much does that black market dealer you mentioned sell the vibranium for?"

"You're not short of money?"

Tony looked at the confident Captain America with a slightly strange expression, then shrugged and said:

"Let me think, I remember that guy quoted me $10,000 per gram. To be honest, that price seemed a bit high to me, but there's nothing I can do about it. Things are valued for their scarcity, and that's the only guy on the black market who can get vibranium."

After saying that, Tony walked to Steve's side, stood on tiptoe slightly, and patted Steve on the shoulder, saying:

"If you're not short of money, Captain, I sincerely hope you can buy more vibranium before this shield is melted down and reforged to make it thicker. That way, the next time we encounter that guy, no matter how sharp his sword is, it won't be able to easily cut through this shield."

"Of course, in that case, Captain, you might need to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of US dollars. So, I sincerely hope that you can get back enough money from those guys who violated your portrait rights."

Tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of US dollars?

Looking at the tattered vibranium shield in his hand.

Never before had he felt that his old friend was so valuable.

so······

Did I used to carry a treasury with me to war every day?

Steve, who had thought he had millions of dollars lying in his account and would never be able to spend them all in his lifetime unless something unexpected happened, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth after hearing Tony's words, and then turned to say, "I suddenly think that simply repairing this shield is also a good option."

Tony, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealing an unsurprising smile, seemed about to say something, but before he could speak, Erin beside him said calmly:

"Don't worry."

"Captain, I'm the one who called you here. It's because of me that you had to face that dangerous guy this time, so I'll reimburse you for the cost of reforging the vibranium shield."

Steve, who was about to say no, glanced at his old friend in his hand and then thought about the millions of dollars lying in his bank account.

In the end, Steve decided to accept Erin's offer.

after all.

Based solely on the amount in his bank account, he estimated it would only be enough to mend his old friend.

He didn't want his old friend to have an unsightly scar.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

After dealing with Steve, Erin turned to Tony and asked, "So, where's that black market dealer you mentioned?"

Because of the Miracle Drug, the Miracle Group has been making money at an unprecedented pace in the past few months, surpassing countless other giant companies in the world.

However, in terms of both connections and control over information channels, Miracle Group is weaker than established capital giants like Stark Industries.

At least.

We couldn't find the black market dealer Erin that Tony mentioned.

"Black market dealer?"

"Wait a minute, let me think. Last time, that guy seemed to have bought a wrecked ship in Africa. I remember I even had Jarvis mark that guy so that we wouldn't be unable to find a supplier next time we needed vibranium."

As he spoke, recalling the mark, Tony said to Jarvis, "Jarvis, retrieve the mark and tell me where that guy is now?"

Jarvis: "Yes, sir."

next second.

A screen projection appeared in front of Tony.

A long stream of blue data kept jumping around.

soon.

Jarvis continuously magnified a continental plate captured by a satellite.

Not long after.

A huge dock and port came into view.

To make it easier for people to see where they are, Jarvis also marked the location on the screen.

African coast.

Salvador's Grand Pier.

After glancing at the numerous ships docked at the pier, Tony said, "Jarvis, zoom in. I need to know which ship that guy is on."

Jarvis: "Yes, sir."

talking.

Javier deliberately marked an old cargo ship in the dock and then quickly zoomed in on it.

As the ship zoomed in, the name of the ship engraved on the truck came into view.

Churchill Great Britain.

"The Churchill Great Britain was an old cargo ship that Britain had scrapped. Ulysses Crow smuggled it in with a batch of smuggled arms from a secondhand dealer and secretly converted it into an armed merchant ship."

"The ship is currently docked at the Salvadoran Grand Port on the west coast of Africa."

"Besides Ulysses Crow, there were more than thirty of his men living on the ship."

After Jarvis finished his introduction, Tony said to Erin, "That guy usually only takes business from acquaintances, so do you need me to find you an intermediary?"

"No, it's not necessary."

After glancing at the dilapidated merchant ship, Erin said calmly, "I'll take care of it."

After saying that.

Erin glanced at Natasha, who had been waiting for a long time, and said indifferently, "I'll go get the captain's shield first. As for this place, I'll leave it to you."

The voice just fell.

Erin's figure suddenly blurred, and then, a few seconds later, he disappeared before their eyes like a phantom.

Along with Arlin, Captain America's vibranium shield also disappeared.

Watching Erin's body vanish in a phantom blur, Tony was slightly taken aback. After scanning the area several times, he asked Jarvis, "When is this guy leaving?"

Jarvis: "I'm sorry, sir, I did not detect any information about Mr. Erin leaving."

Steve, standing to the side, looked at his empty shield and felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss. Seeing Tony still searching for Erin, he shook his head and said:

"No need to look anymore. That guy just left not long ago. But if he didn't want you to find out, it's normal that Jarvis couldn't find him given his abilities."

"Walter?"

Upon hearing this, Tony looked at Steve with some confusion: "Even Jarvis couldn't find out when that guy left, Captain, how did you determine when he left?"

Stark held up his empty right hand, indicating, "Because a few seconds ago, when he left, he took my shield."

???

After watching Erin leave, Natasha looked at the two people in front of her, who were staring at each other in silence, with a complicated expression in her eyes.

He said somewhat helplessly, "Gentlemen, can you explain to me what exactly happened?"

The two looked at each other in silence.

Natasha, who had been standing silently to the side for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "You two, can you explain to me what exactly happened?"

·······

After leaving the banks of the Hudson River with that vibranium shield.

Erin seemed to feel a tiny bit of the potion in his body being "digested," though it was not obvious, it was real.

This feedback clearly tells Erin that the masked man he manipulated into playing the puppet, appearing before others, can indeed help him digest the [Puppet Master]'s potion.

"Indeed, only by possessing one's own secret puppet can one become a truly complete secret puppet master."

After chuckling softly, Erin couldn't help but think of something else.

Since the potion has been partially digested, it means that my guidance in the shadows has had some effect.

Nowadays, many people probably equate the mysterious masked man and the Skrulls with Nick Fury, who is behind the Skrulls.

Whether it's the Skrulls who can easily impersonate another person and even copy parts of their memories.

It could be that powerful, dangerous, and mysterious masked man.

This should make those in power feel extremely wary of Nick Fury.

Once the seed of doubt is planted...

But it's not so easy to get rid of.

If Tony and Steve could just give it a little more guidance...

The Skrulls would definitely cause Nick Fury a lot of trouble.

Even if we don't directly remove Nick Fury from office, we can at least divert some of his attention and keep him preoccupied with other matters.

This way, once Duke has taken care of the Hydra base in Sokovia, it will be less troublesome for Duke to send someone to take over.

of course.

This is just the beginning.

Since Nick Fury is targeting Miracle Corporation in order to secure his position as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., then Arryn won't hold back either.

······

In fact, it didn't even take any action from the top levels of the federal government and the military.

Nick Fury was in a real bind when he learned that the Skrulls had been exposed in full view of everyone through satellite monitoring.

Through S.H.I.E.L.D. channels, it was learned that although Ozas took away the two Skrulls left behind, he left two other Skrulls who had been knocked unconscious.

Nick Fury's already dark face looked even more gloomy and lifeless.

And who was the mysterious person who appeared at the end and covered Ozas's retreat?

Are they super soldiers among the Skrulls?

Why don't I know anything about it?

What exactly have those Skrulls been up to behind my back?

Thinking of this, a classic Chinese phrase came out of Nick Fury's mouth.

"OMG Fuck!"

In order to gain Carol's friendship and the Skrulls' help, I deliberately erased all information and data about the Skrulls.

Even the World Security Council was unaware of the existence of the Skrulls.

now.

Ozas's actions have made the existence of the Skrulls attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, even if it is not publicly revealed.

If I were to get involved in this matter now, it would be an even bigger problem.

An unknown alien race is a big problem in itself.

Not to mention that the Skrulls also possessed such powerful camouflage abilities.

Nick Fury, who has run the S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence agency for decades, is well aware of the Skrulls' powerful ability to disguise themselves.

He was even more aware of just how much the human government would fear the Skrulls once they learned of their abilities.

maybe.

As soon as the Skrulls' abilities are exposed, the federal government, and even countries around the world, will secretly launch a campaign to exterminate them.

And he, as the head of the intelligence agency with close ties to the Skrulls, would probably not have a good end either.

Damn it.

I only wanted to use the Skrulls' abilities to keep an eye on Erin, how did things turn out like this?

After grumbling and cursing for a while, Nick Fury, who was suffering from a terrible headache, quickly picked up the phone.

I plan to call Natasha and ask her to do everything she can to bring out the two Skrulls who have fallen into the hands of the Federation military.

If you really can't bring it out.

So, for the sake of the other Skrulls, the only option is to ask those two unlucky guys to die.

However, Nick Fury, his eyes filled with murderous intent, dialed Natasha's number several times, but apart from the piercing static, he was unable to get through to her.

"Damn it, it's signal interference..."

"Are those guys from the FBI and the federal military starting to block information so quickly?"

Sensing something was amiss, Nick Fury stood there, his expression constantly shifting.

Much later.

Having made up his mind, Nick Fury grabbed a leather jacket, put it on, and quickly left the office.

·······

On the other side...

After learning about the Skrulls' abilities from Tony and Steve, Natasha, a top agent herself, quickly realized the danger posed by the Skrull race.

"Skrugs, what are these dangerous guys doing at S.H.I.E.L.D."

Thinking of the two guys who had been spying on his conversation with Erin;

And later, there were the other Skrulls who were responsible for taking away the bodies of their companions.

Natasha's expression turned rather unpleasant.

Because she knew very well that whether it was the two Skrulls who died earlier, or Ozas and the others who came later, they were all inextricably linked to Nick Fury.

So if the Skrulls really possess that terrifying ability to disguise themselves, then as Tony Stark said, is Nick Fury still Nick Fury?
