He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Faced with someone who can rival a nation single-handedly, it's fine if they're willing to deploy their forces and fight you head-on. But what if they sneak into the country or a key location and then unleash a large army?

Even a powerful country like the United States would find it difficult to defend against.

"Report: The drone has lost contact."

The communications soldier's voice brought Ross back to his senses.

He glanced at the electronic communication screen beside him; it was filled with static. His brow furrowed involuntarily.

This is already the tenth drone.

Every time a plane enters, it immediately loses contact, regardless of its model.

Furthermore, ultrasound, X-ray vision...

Ross tried various methods, but he was unable to obtain information about the top of the tower.

what?

Why don't you send someone in to check?

If he hadn't sent people in and then disappeared without a trace, would Ross have bothered with all this mess?

"What is the origin of this tower?"

Ross gazed up at the tower, his expression growing increasingly serious.

It was only so small, yet it was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing up everything that entered it.

"Report, the survey results are in."

Another communications soldier arrived.

Ross glanced at it sideways and asked calmly, "And the result?"

"Except for the gate, which is made of an unknown material, the rest of the materials are ordinary bricks and stones."

"So, the key lies in the door?"

Ross shifted his gaze to the door—a two-meter-wide door, gleaming with gold, as if it were made of gold itself.

The gate only has a frame, not a door panel.

A golden light screen replaced it.

Anyone with eyes can see the extraordinary nature of this door.

"You can't come in; this area has been designated as a military stronghold."

"Stop, stop..."

Just then, a commotion arose in the distance.

Ross snapped out of his daze and looked in the direction of the commotion—a man with a bald head was leading a world-class man with a great butt and an adorable little girl toward them.

It was Fury, Stephen, and Tina.

Soldiers tried to stop them, but Stephen and Tina easily took them down; even their guns were useless against them.

"Let them come over."

Ross gave the order.

He didn't recognize Steve as Captain America, but he knew Tina and was aware of her power.

The soldiers here can't stop them.

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers ceased their obstruction.

Fury and his group arrived at Ross's location without any problems.

"General, you have crossed the line."

Fury adopted a bureaucratic tone and said, "This tower rose from the ground and is clearly not a secular object. According to the regulations of the World Security Council, it falls under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"That's not something you can decide."

Ross raised his voice and tapped Fury on the chest. "This is New York, this is America. This is happening on American soil. Do you expect me, as a soldier of the United States, to stand idly by?"

"I can understand the general's feelings, but professional matters should be handled by professionals. If laymen mess around, they might do more harm than good and bring disaster to the world."

"You mean we're laymen?"

“If they are complete laymen, I’d be relieved,” Fury sighed. “True laymen, even if they touch things out of curiosity, can only cause limited trouble. But those half-baked idiots… they know how to trigger certain things, but they don’t know the consequences or how to end them. They often cause huge messes that they can’t clean up.”

I know your military has many extraordinary research projects and you're not clueless novices. But true extraordinary abilities are far more complex than you think. Compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., you're just dabbling in things.

"Didn't you all start as mediocre and gradually improve?"

General Ross retorted sharply, not giving an inch, "If we rely on S.H.I.E.L.D. to solve supernatural events for the rest of our lives, then other countries will always be amateurs."

"Isn't this better?"

Fury smiled slightly and said, "The Security Council is a joint organization of countries around the world, and S.H.I.E.L.D. belongs to the Security Council, which means it belongs to all countries in the world."

"But the United States needs its own S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Then there's nothing I can do to help."

Fury shrugged helplessly and continued, "The general can certainly stop S.H.I.E.L.D. from investigating, but this is New York. If someone who doesn't understand the profession interferes recklessly, and ultimately the entity inside the tower is revealed, what will become of New York, or even the United States?"

Upon hearing this, Ross frowned deeply.

He was also very worried about this situation.

Who lives inside the tower?

Or is there something placed there?

They have no idea whether it's good or bad for the world.

They didn't even understand the tower itself.

But everyone has a tendency to take chances.

Rose was no exception.

He kept thinking that he couldn't possibly be so unlucky as to encounter the worst possible situation!

But now, Fury has shattered his illusions and forced him to confront this enormous risk.

For a moment, I hesitated.

It took quite a while before a decision was made.

“You can send your people to investigate, but the military must supervise. Anything excavated from there must also be approved by the military before it can be taken away.”

"This is impossible."

Fury shook his head and rejected Ross's conditions, then gave a rather domineering one: "The military can watch from the sidelines, and even if conditions permit, the things inside cannot be touched without permission."

"it is good."

Ross readily agreed.

As for whether they will actually comply...

Haha, that depends on how things go at the time.

……

After reaching an agreement with the military, Fury summoned professionals from S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, just like the military.

S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't find anything either.

Ross seized the opportunity to mock, "Looks like these so-called professionals aren't all that great after all."

Fury kept a straight face and didn't say anything.

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Ring ring ring..."

A bell rang nearby.

Fury was taken aback and looked in the direction of the ringing.

The others also looked in that direction.

At the entrance of the tower, an Asian youth was standing there, his cell phone ringing incessantly.

"Who goes there?!"

Ross immediately drew his gun.

The other soldiers also pointed their guns at him.

"Don't shoot, they're on our side."

Fury quickly stepped forward, blocking Fury's path. "That's the outside help I invited."

"When did you invite me here?"

The young man did not accept Fury's kindness and ruthlessly exposed Fury's lies.

This left him stunned.

Ross took in Fury's expression, feeling even more uneasy, yet knowing that this person must have some kind of connection to Fury, he couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you?"

"My name is Gu Qing, and I am a businessman."

"merchant?"

Ross thought he had misheard and looked stunned.

"Anything can be traded."

Gu Qing smiled slightly and said, "General Ross, if you need anything but can't find a buyer, feel free to try contacting me. You're welcome to come to me then."

What are you doing here?
