He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

The evil eye of death...

That was a more dangerous being than Tina.

Thinking of this, Fury took a deep breath and said, "Don't be so impulsive. If everyone dies, then S.H.I.E.L.D. will be dead in name only."

"..."

Tina stared at Fury with her mouth agape, looking on in astonishment, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, he seemed to have some reservations and didn't say anything.

Fury frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't worry about me."

"Oh."

Tina nodded slightly, then said directly, "Given the current situation, does the director still think S.H.I.E.L.D. can be preserved?"

Upon hearing this, Fury was taken aback.

But he quickly realized what was happening.

The reason S.H.I.E.L.D. can exist is because the Security Council provides a large budget every year. If there were no budget, you can refer to the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

It's a small group of just a few cats.

But if the Security Council members knew that the organization they painstakingly maintain with a large annual budget was actually 80% infiltrated by enemy agents…

If it were you, would you still continue to support them?

Fury put himself in the person's shoes and realized he would tell the person in charge to go back to raising pigs.

Damn it, the intelligence organization has been infiltrated... Although this is due to historical reasons, the fact that so many leaders of S.H.I.E.L.D. failed to discover the problem shows how incompetent they are.

Once Fury begins to purge Hydra, the truth will inevitably come out, and regardless of the outcome, S.H.I.E.L.D. will cease to exist.

The difference is that if you win, you get disbanded; if you lose, you get swallowed up.

Besides, S.H.I.E.L.D. has many secrets that cannot be exposed to the public.

If war breaks out with Hydra, the enemy will certainly not let go of the opportunity to expose their secrets and undermine S.H.I.E.L.D. If things develop in that direction, public opinion will engulf S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been very secretive.

Most people have never heard of this organization, and no one knows how much you have contributed to humanity.

Moreover, countries around the world are now pursuing superhumans. They would love for the collapse of the largest superhuman organization so they can profit from it.

With so many factors at play, it would be difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D. to survive.

Unless he can subdue Hydra.

He made the Hydra members willingly submit to him.

But is such a thing even possible?

Well, it's hard to say. Maybe some extraordinary power can do it.

Thinking of this, Fury looked at Tina, "Tina, is there any way to get the Hydra agents to join me?"

Tina stared in disbelief, as if to say, "You think you can just eat shit?"

This reaction gave Fury the answer, and he couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief. "Was I just being delusional, or is it...?"

"Chief, something strange has happened again on the West Coast."

Just then, Hill burst in carrying a folder.

Chapter 237 Ryougi Shiki

Hill burst in and found Tina there too, and immediately shut her mouth.

Fury glanced at her, then looked at Tina with a questioning look in his eyes: Is she Hydra?

Tina gently shook her head.

Then Fury looked at Hill and asked, "What happened?"

"Another person has contracted shingles."

Hill reported in a work-reporting tone: "Since the opening two weeks ago, people have been growing snake scales on their skin and developing mental problems, often imitating the habits of snakes."

"This is truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly!"

Fury sighed deeply.

This is clearly an extraordinary event that affects public safety and is of great importance, requiring immediate attention.

But if they don't deal with Hydra first, then no matter what they do, it'll just be a waste of their time and resources. If it were anything else, Fury wouldn't care; he's not a calculating person. But Hydra isn't an ordinary organization. Letting them grow stronger is tantamount to suicide.

But this matter concerning people's lives had to be dealt with. After much deliberation, Fury ordered: "Let Coulson handle this matter. He can apply for assistance if he encounters difficulties."

"Yes."

Hill accepted the order and left the office.

Fury thought for a moment and then dialed Tsuna's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Tsuna's silent voice came from the other end.

"Chief Fury, is there something you need?"

"There's something I'd like to ask you for help with..."

Fury recounted the details, then explained, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is in trouble and hasn't been able to mobilize its forces for some time, so..."

"We are already investigating this matter."

Sawada Tsunayoshi said, "The west coast is also Vongola territory, so naturally we need to find out what happened there. But..."

As he spoke, Tsuna hesitated.

Fury paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there a problem?"

“Recently, a gang has risen in the American underground. They are very powerful and resourceful, and they are constantly clashing with the Vongola. We are also a bit overwhelmed and can't spare much energy.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Fury was somewhat skeptical, thinking that Tsuna was just making excuses for him.

But then I thought, if the other party doesn't want to help, there's no need to use this excuse to refuse me, so I rejected the idea.

But he still couldn't believe it.

The Vongola Family's inheritance of Dying Will Flame and Ring Equipment grants them immense power, and their subordinate "Viper's" older sister "Maria" is a state legislator.

She campaigned for governor by sponsoring him.

This gives the Vongola a significant voice in official circles.

In addition to their recent cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the fact that the Vongola Family itself has its own bottom-line constraints, they have almost become the officially acknowledgment underground emperors.

With such power, how could other gangs possibly stand a chance?

Tsuna knew what Fury was thinking, but he didn't explain much. He simply said, "Those guys are very clever. They give me a familiar feeling."

"who is it?"

Fury asked quickly.

"Kingpin!"

"impossible!?"

Fury's eyes widened, and he jumped up from his chair. "Wasn't he dead? The medical report is out."

"But his body has disappeared."

"That doesn't prove it's him!"

"It's only a possibility. Alucard's undead army has already proven that the dead can continue to fight."

Upon hearing this, Fury fell silent.

"Director Fury, I've had a bad feeling lately, like a storm is brewing. Please make preparations."

After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up.

Frey pondered the meaning of Tsuna's last words for a while before sitting back in his chair, leaning wearily against the backrest, and closing his eyes to rest.

Hopefully, his premonition refers to Hydra!

Fury took a deep breath, opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked at Tina. "Don't make a sound about Hydra for now."

At this point, Fury paused to think, then continued, "They often exchange slogans, which means they don't know each other's identities or mission objectives. You can use this opportunity to infiltrate Hydra."

Being a spy is a high-risk profession.

To avoid the exposure of one spy leading to the exposure of others, those in higher positions will not tell their subordinate spies anything about other spies.

Even if they are performing the same task.

"clear."

"Then, I'll go see Ryougi Shiki first!"

……

evening.

Ryougi Shiki went out for a stroll as usual.

Looking at the vehicles driving on the road, the pedestrians walking together chatting and laughing or arguing loudly on the street, and the customers and shop assistants shopping or promoting their products in the stores...

A vague feeling arose in Ryougi Shiki's heart.

She walked quietly down the street, her gaze unfocused, seemingly lost in thought. She wandered further and further off course, eventually entering a quiet, secluded place in the dead of night.

Even in places like Queens, where the security is relatively good, there is no shortage of criminals such as biker gangs, robbers, and prostitutes who mingle in the dark.

But they looked at the girl, yet did not make a move.

Instead, they all showed expressions of fear or apprehension, instinctively backing away, until the girl calmly walked past them without even glancing at them, at which point they breathed a sigh of relief.

This girl has been going out for a walk in the middle of the night since a certain time, passing through dangerous areas that even office workers who are exhausted from working overtime late at night would rather take a detour.
