The Extraordinary Life of a Certain American Comic...

It's more than just a big fuss.

This has caused too much of a stir.

What is the New Amsterdam Hospital?

It was the first hospital in the entire federal history to have a maternity ward, an emergency room, and an affiliated medical school.

It was also the first civilian ambulance team ever established.

The first medical imaging department.

The first school for female nurses was established.

New York City’s first public health department was established with the founding of the new Amsterdam Hospital.

and so……

When a vampire attack occurred at this hospital, its impact far exceeded that of other places.

This doesn't even require 24 hours.

The news was broadcast on New York News Channel that afternoon, and then it spread rapidly in all directions.

By evening, Washington, D.C., had also learned of the bombing news that had occurred in New York City that day.

soon.

Nick Fury, who had just returned from a business trip to Tahiti, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret overseas agencies, was invited to the office by Alexander Pierce, the current Federal Security Council member, before he could even have a sip of hot water.

"Snapped!"

As Director Alexander Pierce walked in, he threw the newspaper in his hand in front of Nick Fury: "Look at this, this is the S.H.I.E.L.D. you run."

Nick Fury took the newspaper with a bewildered look on his face.

into the eye.

A vampire has been spotted in New York City! Pictures and proof included!

Nick Fury's one eye shrinks.

"hiss!"

"Stop hissing. Didn't you say you'd already sent people to New York City to make sure the vampires there wouldn't do anything that violated the Covenant?"

Alexander Pierce questioned Nick Fury, who was trying to make his room warmer.

Nick Fury looked at the contents of the newspaper and fell silent.

He sent someone to New York City.

Nick Fury put the newspaper aside, then took out his communicator and silently dialed his most loyal subordinate, Phil Coulson.

The call was answered quickly.

"Chief!"

"Where are you?"

"I'm in New Mexico."

Standing beside a pit, gazing at a gleaming silver hammer inside, Phil Coulson asked curiously, "Didn't you send me?"

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury glanced back at the "Fuck you" that he was about to blurt out.

He remembered.

It was indeed he who called Phil Coulson to New Mexico.

After all, he was more concerned about extraterrestrial visitors than vampires or anything like that.

Because native vampires won't destroy the Earth, but extraterrestrial visitors will.

He's been through it.

That's right.

He is a black man who always keeps the safety of the earth in his heart!

But now is not the time to boast; it's time to find a way to shift the blame.

Nick Fury took a deep breath.

Who's in charge of things in New York?

"Before I left, I left Natasha there to work with Blade."

"Natasha?"

"Yes."

"……I see."

After saying one sentence, Nick Fury hung up the phone and then dialed Natasha's number under Alexander Pierce's watchful eye.

beep!

beep!

The call was answered after quite a while.

"The bureau chief?"

Natasha's voice came through the phone.

Nick Fury got straight to the point.

What's going on in New York City?

"Huh!"

Natasha exclaimed in surprise, then quickly said, "Blade is suspected of killing Dickon Frost, the vampire leader of New York City. They are searching the whole city for Blade in an attempt to avenge him."

Nick Fury frowned.

"Those from the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau?"

"When the vampire leader Dickon Frost was killed, Locke Underwood, a senior agent of the Sentinel Service, was also present."

As Natasha spoke, she closed her eyes, bit her lip, and suppressed her impulse. She then looked down and made a shushing gesture to Locke, who was working.

Nick Fury, on the other end of the phone, was somewhat bewildered by what he heard.

"Were the Sentinel Special Operations personnel also on site?"

"Yes."

"How did they end up with Blade? Why wasn't this reported?"

Nick Fury was visibly angry when asked why the matter hadn't been reported.

Nick Fury, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., knew that the Sentinel Special Operations had been trying to wrest power from them for years.

Moreover, Blade was one of his men.

Right now, his people have infiltrated the organization he was most wary of, and he knows nothing about it.

How could Nick Fury not be angry?

Natasha also sensed the anger in Nick Fury's words and paused for a moment.

"Chief, I've reported it."

"When? Coulson said the New York City matter was handed over to you, who did you report to?"

In just three sentences, Nick Fury had already decided on who to blame.

Natasha is the one.

After all, Coulson was his most loyal subordinate, and Hawkeye Barton was also a top-tier combatant loyal to him.

But Natasha?

She wouldn't even call me "boss".

Just as Nick Fury was thinking, Natasha's voice came through the phone.

"I've reported to the commander."

"Who?"

Nick Fury's mind went completely blank for a moment.

"Commander Maria Hill."

"...Why didn't you report this to Coulson?"

"As requested by Commander Maria Hill."

"Did she request that?"

"Yes."

Natasha said without any hesitation, "After the Commander learned that I was in New York City, he asked me to assist Commander Victoria Hand at the New York City Command and Operations Center in ruling out a nuclear weapons smuggling incident. As for the vampires, the Commander said that you once mentioned that the vampire incidents in New York City were mainly caused by Blade."

Nick Fury gasped in shock after hearing this.

"That's what Maria Hill said?"

"Yes."

"……I see."

Nick Fury frowned, hung up the phone, and sat on the sofa, deep in thought.

Was there something wrong with Natasha's answer?

No.

From the perspective of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s organizational structure, Natasha Romanoff's superior is indeed Phil Coulson.

However, both Natasha and Coulson are under the command of Director Nick Fury and Deputy Director and Commander Maria Hill.

Even during wartime, Nick Fury had to obey Maria Hill's orders.

Because Maria Hill is the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.

only……

Since taking on the role of commander, Maria Hill has been quietly working and rarely gets directly involved in the management of his side.

In a word.

In his eyes, Maria Hill acted like a harmless little lamb.

But now Nick Fury's expression was rather grim.

He considered a very unpleasant possibility.
