He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

"What did you say?"

Barbara blinked, looking puzzled as if she hadn't heard clearly.

“We already know about Dio’s abilities.”

Sawatane Tsunayoshi repeated what he had said before and bowed slightly to her to express his gratitude, "Although we already have information about Dio, we still thank you for bringing it to us. We will remember this kindness."

"ok, I get it."

Barbara raised her hand to stop her, saying, "To avoid any misunderstanding, let me confirm first: do you really know that Dio has the ability to stop time?"

"Yes, we understand."

"..."

Barbara fell silent.

Time stands still—in this state, everything is frozen in place, and people are completely unaware of their surroundings.

Barbara couldn't imagine how the Vongola had managed to find out this information overnight.

Mind reading?

Or was Dior just a show-off who revealed his abilities?

However, while this is difficult to do, it is not impossible.

Therefore, Barbara quickly adjusted her mood.

"OK, I understand."

She took a deep breath, looked calmly at Tsuna, and said, "Dio is a vampire, and he's ambitious too. This kind of guy is too dangerous. Should we form an alliance to deal with him?"

"I appreciate your kindness, but..."

Sawada Tsunayoshi said seriously, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but if your S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top combat force is only at the level of Barton, then it is impossible for you to intervene in the battle with Dio."

"Iron Man is one of us too."

"No problem."

Upon hearing Barbara's suggestion, Sawada Tsunayoshi readily agreed.

If they are combatants who can provide assistance, then naturally the more the better. Faced with an ability like time stop, he still hasn't figured out how to win.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Happy cooperation!"

The two shook hands, thus forming an alliance.

……

Fury returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. at 3 p.m.

Hill found him immediately.

"By the time Barbara sent the intelligence, the Vongola had already figured out Dio's true strength, but they still formed a temporary alliance with them to deal with Dio."

"So fast?"

Fury hung his coat on the back of the chair, then sat down, making himself a coffee as he said, "It seems we underestimated the Vongola. They are stronger than we imagined."

"Yes."

As Hill spoke, she took out a ring. "This was brought by Barbara from the Vongola. It contains records of their Mist Guardian's battle with Dio."

Fury paused, took the ring, examined it closely for a while, and finally looked at Hill, "How do I use it?"

"Just put it on and silently check."

"I'll give it a try."

Fury held the ring to his middle finger, only to find it was too small, so he put it on his little finger and silently thought: Check.

Suddenly, the ring emitted a halo of light, covering everything in the room and transforming it into an alley behind a building.

"Is this an illusion?"

Fury touched the chair that had disappeared under his buttocks, and could still feel its presence.

"The Mist Guardian was an illusionist. Before he died, he created an illusion based on his combat experience and transmitted it to another Mist Guardian with whom he had established a spiritual connection."

"OK, focus on watching!"

Fury nodded, focusing his attention on the illusion.

At that moment, a van drove up from outside, and two middle-aged men in suits with blank expressions got out of the van. They chatted with the executive who came out of the back door of the building for a while, and then betrayed him.

Fury was puzzled when he saw this.

How do you stab someone in such an insignificant place as a backstab?

Moreover, after being stabbed in the back, the executive initially tried to shout, but the next second he seemed to have been brainwashed and forgot about the stabbing, and entered the building with two middle-aged men.

No one explained it to him, because Hill didn't understand it either.

But then I understood.

The three of them went to the top-floor conference room and used the same method to betray the five leaders of the Hand. As a result, the five leaders of the Hand, just like the executives, forgot about the betrayal and went to find Dio to try to betray him in the same way.

"I think I understand."

Fury said, "Anyone stabbed by that trident will be controlled by someone. That must be the ability of the Mist Guardian!"

"It should be."

As the two spoke, the illusion began to change.

Rokudo Mukuro used the advantage of the enemy being in the open while he was in the dark to probe out information one by one until he finally discovered that the enemy had the ability to stop time.

Upon seeing this, Fury remarked, "This guy is a bit scary!"

Hill nodded in agreement and said, "I think he's a lot like Director Fury."

"??"

Fury was completely baffled.

The illusion is still playing.

After learning that Dio's ability was to stop time, Rokudo Mukuro felt that now was the opportunity to kill him, and believed that it would be difficult to find the same opportunity again in the future, so he took action.

The plan was ingenious and very successful.

But in the end, he was killed because he didn't know that Dio was a vampire.

The illusion ended, and the room returned to normal.

After a long silence, Fury sighed, "If only Rokudo Mukuro could have killed Dio there."

"It's truly a pity."

After learning that Dio's ability was to stop time, they felt it was difficult, but not impossible.

After all, without seeing it with your own eyes, you have no idea what the specific situation is.

Now, after watching the battle video of Rokudo Mukuro and Dio, they have completely lost their confidence.

Dio not only has the ability to stop time, but he also possesses superhuman physical abilities, and his Stand's power is even stronger.

Even long-range sniping is difficult to achieve.

"I suggest we deal with Firth Dickin first."

Hill said, "Dio is an ambitious man, and he knows how to gather forces to achieve his goals. Now he only has Madam Gao left, and she was almost killed by Rokudo Mukuro. He will definitely expand his power on a large scale, and he might even target the Vampire Empire."

"When they join forces, it will be even more difficult."

"That's right!"

Fury realized this too, and jumped up from his chair. "Let's not wait for Blade. Go and notify the others. We'll start the operation tonight."

"Should we notify the Vongola?"

"...Let me let you know!"

Fury pondered for a moment and said, "Remember to tell them the truth. Although this matter involves dealing with Dio, it's not really. Let them send people if they want; we won't force them."

"Yes."

"Also, have Tina come to see me. I need to know how her work is going."

"Yes."

Hill received the order and left the office.

Fury sat back down and pondered, considering more details.

A moment later, Tina entered the room.

"Did Chief Fury want to see me about something?"

Fury snapped out of his reverie and nodded, saying, "How's the defection of the vampire empire going? I know it's a bit unreasonable to ask about the progress after only one day, but time is of the essence..."

"It's all taken care of."

"Still not done? No problem, it's easy..."

The conversation abruptly ended.

Fury stared wide-eyed at the sleepy Tina in disbelief and asked, "Are you sure you're not talking in your sleep?"

Chapter 177 Ambush and Being Ambushed

“Chief Fury, although I’m very sleepy, I’m sure I wasn’t talking in my sleep.”

Tina said weakly.

"How did you manage to turn someone to your side in just one day?"

Fury still couldn't believe it.

As a secret agent, he knew all too well how difficult it was to turn the enemy against their side.
