Nick Fury picked up the plan document lying to the side, tore it to pieces with a few hissing sounds, and said calmly, "I was blinded by some things before, which is why I made this plan. Just now I realized that we can still continue the Avengers program. Of course, the goal of the program will change, and it will only be to protect the safety of the Earth."
The middle-aged female councilor became interested after hearing this and asked, "Please continue."
Nick Fury nodded and said, "As everyone here knows, all sorts of outlaw heroes are constantly emerging in the world today, such as the Chinese Tai Chi, the Western Scimitar, and so on. Britain has its Captain Britain, the Artifact Knight, and other superheroes, and we Americans also have many superheroes. Of course, we all know the most representative one, but I want to talk about the others!"
The elderly councilor's eyes lit up, and he said, "Are you planning to recruit them?"
Nick Fury shook his head and said, "It's not about recruiting, but about bringing them together. They have no obligation to work for us. We'll just provide them with some help, but I believe that if we manage it well, eventually half of these superheroes will definitely become our people."
The female senator asked, "Aren't you afraid that some of the work done by S.H.I.E.L.D. will offend them?"
Nick Fury said confidently, "I'm not afraid of that, because we didn't absorb them into S.H.I.E.L.D., we just acted as guides."
After a moment of silence at the hospital, Nick Fury knew they had communicated privately. Finally, the elderly senator nodded and said, "You can try, but be careful. These people aren't well-trained agents. Also, find out their identities as soon as they come in. Even if we can't make them our people in the end, we must make sure they can work for us!"
Nick Fury said calmly, "I will naturally do that!"
The councilors nodded and said, "Yes, we trust you to get things done. Use this time off to refine your plans. Have a nice holiday, Director!" Then they hung up.

Chapter 186 Maria Hill's Call
Although Nick Fury's Avengers plan was ultimately accepted by the senators, Fury wasn't happy about it. He knew these superheroes were arrogant and unruly, and unlikely to join his Avengers program. Therefore, he needed to find a breakthrough to ease the tensions between the superheroes and eventually get them to become members of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury had to find a way to do this.
At the same time, Maria Hill was appointed acting director by the council, giving her the authority to manage everything at S.H.I.E.L.D. while Nick Fury's vacation was not over. She was also given an order by the council to try to ease the tension between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Adam Stark. Maria Hill did not refuse the order, because she knew that at such a critical moment, Adam would not refuse S.H.I.E.L.D.'s goodwill, provided that the one making the goodwill was not Nick Fury.
Maria Hill had just accepted her appointment when she received a call from Nick Fury, asking her to go to his office. Of course, Maria Hill wouldn't refuse Nick Fury just because she was the acting director. She straightened her clothes and went into Nick Fury's office. Inside, Nick Fury had his back to Maria Hill, staring at a world map.
Where do you think would be the best place to build a super-criminal prison?
Maria Hill clearly hadn't expected Nick Fury to ask that question. After a moment's hesitation, she replied, "Near New York waters, sir." Although she didn't know why he was asking, the well-trained Maria Hill still answered Nick Fury's question accurately.
Nick Fury didn't turn around, but nodded with his arms crossed, saying, "That's right, the New York waters are indeed the best choice, because there are powerful superheroes there, and the Chess Department also has a branch in New York. If any problems arise in the prison, either side can provide support."
Maria Hill nodded. "That's right," she said. "As long as he's in New York, there won't be any problems with the prison."
Nick Fury shook his head and said, "You're right, but we can't become dependent. We have to rely on ourselves, Maria."
Maria said, "I know that in some things we have to rely on ourselves, but there are also some things we can't do even if we want to, because we are simply not strong enough and can only rely on external forces."
Nick Fury said in a deep voice, "That's why I wanted to obtain more technological information. Unfortunately, I was influenced by jealousy and anger at the time and missed the best opportunity."
Maria Hill nodded and said, "That's right. If I had been the one negotiating back then, he might have been willing to give me some offensive technology."
Nick Fury shook his head and said, "Not maybe, it's definitely true! Because he had the well-being of the entire planet in his heart, but I made some mistakes that ultimately brought it all down. And I really didn't expect that super-intelligent program..."
Maria Hill said calmly, "There are so many things we didn't expect. I'm glad to see you recovered, sir."
Nick Fury gave a wry smile and said, "I've just figured it out. Never mind, let's not talk about this for now. After I leave, you can talk to Adam Stark again about the supervillain prison."
Maria Hill nodded and said, "I will."
Nick Fury smiled slightly and turned around. He said, "Yes, I believe you, Agent Maria." He then picked up the small bag he had placed by the door and left the office with ease.
Maria Hill stood quietly, watching Nick Fury leave, a strange light flickering in her eyes. Then she turned and left Nick Fury's office, returning to her own office and calling Adam directly. She explained that she had become the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and wanted to continue cooperating with him to build a super prison.
After hearing this, Adam remained silent for a moment, then said, "Congratulations. As for the super prison, I still have the same conditions as last time. As long as you can agree on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., I will agree."
Maria Hill smiled slightly and said, "Why would I refuse such a good offer? I'll do some preliminary preparations, and after you've finished your current tasks, we can discuss the prison matter in detail, how about that?"
Adam nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have Athena design the prison's blueprints. Don't worry, once someone enters the super prison, no one will be able to walk out unless someone helps them! Of course, the security of the prison will be left to S.H.I.E.L.D. Also, I don't want the prison to become a place for you to research the special abilities of those criminals. You must make a promise to me on this point."
Maria Hill nodded and said, "I understand. I will submit this matter to the council, but I think they will agree to your request, after all, they all want to ease their relationship with you now."
Adam chuckled, “Want to mend things with me? I’d be more than happy to, as long as I don’t have to see that guy.”
After hearing this, Maria Hill hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Adam, there's something I need to remind you of."
Adam paused, then asked, "What's making you hesitate for so long? Of course, if it's about S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets or something, don't mention it. I still remember your dream. Don't ruin your future for me; you know it's not worth it."
Maria Hill smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's not some S.H.I.E.L.D. secret or anything like that. It concerns information about a person."
Adam frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
Maria Hill said very seriously, "You have to be careful, Adam. I can feel it. Nick Fury has changed. He has reverted to his original self. I don't know why he is like this, but I can feel the murderous aura emanating from him when he says your name. You should know that anyone who has seen the original Nick Fury knows that he is a demon!"
Adam felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Maria. But don't worry, even if he is a demon, I'm not afraid, because I am Superman. And I believe that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery is useless. As long as I can make myself even a little stronger than yesterday, I will be invincible!"
Maria Hill continued, "I know you're very capable, but what you've seen about S.H.I.E.L.D. is only a small part. There are still some secrets you haven't seen, so I don't want you to underestimate Nick Fury. He's not a simple person, especially since he's turned back into the Nick Fury he used to be. So I hope you can keep this in mind."
Hearing Maria's earnest advice, Adam replied very seriously, "Thank you, Maria. Don't worry, I won't underestimate him. And please take good care of yourself at S.H.I.E.L.D."
Maria Hill said, "Well, then I'm relieved. Hehe, you can rest assured too. I'll be fine at S.H.I.E.L.D. Alright, I was just appointed as the acting director today, and I have a lot to do, so I won't chat any longer. Please give my regards to Christine."
After listening, Adam pondered for a moment and said, "Well, by the way, come to my place tonight. There's something I want to tell you in person."
Maria Hill paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, I'll be there on time." She then hung up the phone.
Adam reached out and took the headphones out of his ears, then frowned as he looked at the screen in front of him. It displayed information about Nick Fury. According to this information, Adam realized that he had indeed underestimated S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury himself. The information showed that Nick Fury was also a genetically engineered warrior. Although he wasn't as successful as Captain America, his strength had surpassed that of the Punisher, Frank Caesar, and the newly emerged Daredevil. If Spider-Man didn't have his own webs to help him, he might not be a match for Nick Fury.
Most importantly, Nick Fury's record is impressive. No wonder Maria mentioned his previous nickname, "The Devil." Before losing an eye, Nick Fury was like a bloodthirsty madman. None of his enemies survived. Moreover, his SSS-level ratings in his mission log fully demonstrate his strength. Of course, Adam wasn't worried about Fury's strength causing him trouble, but he was concerned about Fury's schemes. Although he had said that all schemes are futile in the face of absolute power, he knew that if Fury was determined to annoy him, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Therefore, he had to be extra vigilant.
Adam said calmly, "It seems my idea of putting Maria Hill in a higher position was correct. Nick Fury, since you've temporarily left the management of S.H.I.E.L.D., I won't give you another chance." With that, Adam turned off the screen in front of him.
Chapter 187 Strengthening Maria Hill's Body
After Adam closed the file, Christine came out of the bedroom and asked, "Whose call was that?"
Adam made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "It was Maria on the phone. Nick Fury has temporarily left S.H.I.E.L.D., and Maria is now the acting director. She just called to say that the previous super prison plan can continue, and also to warn me to be wary of Nick Fury."
After hearing this, Christine asked, "You're telling me to be wary of Nick Fury? Why? It seems like you have no reason to be afraid of him at all?"
Adam shook his head and said, "Maria was very serious when she said that, so I went to investigate Nick Fury's previous files and found that he was indeed much stronger than the average person. Although I am not afraid of his strength, it would be very uncomfortable to always have a dog that wants to bite you around."
Christine frowned and said, "So what are you going to do? How about I turn him into an idiot?" Although Christine was usually a gentle and kind woman, she would change immediately when her lover was involved. Adam knew that this was a side effect of Christine's awakening of divinity, switching back and forth between human and god. When Christine truly mastered her abilities, this would not happen.
Adam reached out and smoothed Christine's forehead, saying, "Don't frown, it's not pretty. As for Nick Fury, I have a plan to keep him away from S.H.I.E.L.D. As long as S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't around, he can't cause me any trouble, although he can't cause me any trouble right now either."
Christine rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I was just kidding. So, what are you planning to do with Maria Hill?"
Adam smiled and said, "She and I are just friends. I know she likes me, but I only admire her and have no other feelings for her."
After hearing this, Christine said, "I know, but aren't you being a little cruel to her?"
Adam glanced at Christine and said, "This is the best option. Okay, don't think about these things anymore. Time will make her forget about me."
Since they had nothing else to do that day, Adam and Christine stayed in their room chatting and watching TV instead of going out. It wasn't until Maria Hill arrived in the evening that they realized how late it was.
Upon hearing the doorbell, Adam turned off the holographic image and instructed Athena to open the door.
Christine asked, "Did you call Maria Hill here?"
Adam nodded. He said, "That's right. After reviewing some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s classified information, I've decided to help Maria. Because Maria can't completely control S.H.I.E.L.D. right now, not even openly."
Christine was taken aback and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Adam said calmly, "I need to help her strengthen her body. Only in this way can she maintain her position in S.H.I.E.L.D. and prevent Nick Fury's old subordinates from causing trouble."
Christine bit her lip and said, "Okay. Do you need my help?"
Although she trusted Adam's character, some things couldn't be completely ignored simply by believing. After all, Adam was her lover, and the woman about to enter was a woman who loved Adam. She didn't want Athena to completely reassure Christine, since Adam's most fatal flaw was his soft heart. It was because of some of her actions that Adam had truly accepted her, and she didn't want to give Maria Hill that opportunity.
Adam, upon hearing Christine's words, already guessed what she was thinking, but he wasn't angry. After all, her actions clearly showed that she cared about him. Therefore, he smiled and agreed to Christine's request.
"Yes, I do need your help. The entire enhancement process will be handled by you and Athena, since body enhancement requires taking off some clothes."
Christine smiled gently and said, "Yes, leave it to the two of us. Nothing will go wrong!"
Just then, Maria Hill walked in from outside. She looked tired and haggard, clearly indicating that her process of taking over as acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D. today hadn't been very pleasant. Maria herself hadn't expected the appointment to be so difficult. She'd spent the entire afternoon just getting some people to accept her as acting director. While the agents would follow orders, there were still verbal clashes, leaving Maria exhausted. If Adam hadn't asked her to come see him that evening, she would have already been in her comfortable bed.
Christine stood up and saw Maria's tired face, saying, "Please sit down, I'll get you a cup of coffee."
Maria's voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Thank you, Christine." She really needed some coffee to continue chatting with them, otherwise she might just fall asleep.
Adam asked with concern, "You look very tired. It seems your day at work didn't go very well."
Maria Hill gave a wry smile and said, "Although I didn't really intend to take action against Nick Fury's old men, they still have some grievances against me, and because of what happened before, most people have some misunderstandings about me."
Adam said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have put you in a difficult position." He understood what she meant. It was because he went to her while he was being controlled by the negative energy that some people in S.H.I.E.L.D. misunderstood Maria, thinking that the Council had asked Nick Fury to leave temporarily in order to ease the tension between him and Adam Stark.
While the council might genuinely have such thoughts, they aren't fools. If Maria Hill didn't have real skills, they wouldn't have so casually handed S.H.I.E.L.D. over to her. However, most people still believe this, which has put Maria Hill in a much more passive position today and tomorrow.
However, Maria Hill did not blame Adam. She had overheard some of Phoenix's words earlier, so she knew that Adam Stark did not only have one woman, and that Adam Stark still had her in his heart. Therefore, she shook her head at Adam's apology.
"This isn't entirely your fault. They just wanted to cause me trouble. Most of them were just misled. I've dealt with a few people today, and I think they should quiet down for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Adam was instantly relieved that he had summoned Maria Hill. He knew that there were Hydra spies within S.H.I.E.L.D., and if Maria had been killed at this time and some evidence detrimental to Nick Fury had been left behind, some unpredictable and serious incidents could have occurred.
At this moment, Christine came out with a few cups of coffee, handed one to Maria, and sat down next to Adam, listening to their conversation.
Maria thanked Christine, took a sip of her coffee to refresh herself, and said, "By the way, Adam, what did you call me here for today?" Now that Christine was out, Maria didn't want to bring up her troubles again, lest she annoy Christine.
Adam picked up a cup of coffee and said, "I came to see you today to improve your skills."
Maria Hill was taken aback and asked, "Enhance my strength? What do you mean?"
Adam explained, “You should know that I am a director of Osborn Corporation, and the human enhancement agent that Osborn Corporation is researching, namely the super serum, was successfully developed a long time ago, but it has not been mass-produced.”
Maria was truly shocked and asked, "The Super Serum was a success? How is that possible? Didn't Oxford Corporation already announce that the Super Serum had failed?"
Adam shook his head and said, "The Ox Enterprises' super serum wasn't unsuccessful, but it had significant side effects. Do you remember Green Goblin? That was a defective product made from the Ox Enterprises' super serum. But of course, I won't inject you with a defective product. Instead, I'll give you the serum that Athena and I researched together. I've already used it on Tony and a kid. It can increase your strength several times over, but how many times depends on your constitution."
Maria Hill was at a loss for words. Should she curse Adam for being too cunning, or should she curse S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence system for being incompetent? But none of that mattered now. The important thing was that Adam wanted to inject her with the already successful super serum. What did that mean? Maria Hill was speechless for a moment.
Ps:
I was so tired last night that I went straight to sleep when I got home. Sorry!
Chapter 188 The Russian Super Squad Attacks
Adam, seeing Mary's expression, knew what she was thinking and laughed, "Don't worry about your men, because they can't get any useful information from me yet. Of course, the information I gave you before was deliberately leaked to you; otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten any information at all."
Maria Hill rolled her eyes and said, "I knew it was you. Oh well, I still have to thank you anyway..."
Adam waved his hand and said, "We're friends, so don't worry about it. By the way, go take a shower now, and then Christine and Athena will help you inject the super serum."
Maria Hill had also read some materials and knew that she needed to wear less clothing during the enhancement process. Therefore, although she was somewhat disappointed that Adam did not personally inject her, she did not show it. She nodded and followed Athena to the bathroom in the guest room to begin washing her body.
On the other side, Adam received a call from Paris Hilton, and his expression changed instantly after he answered the phone.
