He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Fury countered, "With gangs, you can take one down and another will spring up. As long as there are bullies, gangs will never disappear. Compared to those reckless thugs, well-organized gangs are better at maintaining order."

"Then it seems I've wasted my time looking for you."

As Ryougi Shiki finished speaking, she put down a dollar bill and got up to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Fury quickly grabbed her and asked, "You didn't call me here because you want me to help you take down that criminal organization, did you?"

"No."

Fury breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just want to ask you about Bullseye. If possible, please tell me all the information about his associates."

"You want to take them all out by yourself?"

Fury understood what the girl meant, and his heart, which had just been at ease, immediately jumped again, his face filled with astonishment.

Ryougi Shiki frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you making such a fuss? Do you think that group is a very powerful one?"

"I……"

Fury hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "In terms of the Avengers' power, that's nothing. But if even the gangs have to send out the Avengers, it will undoubtedly offend the police, the military, and even the government."

Although superheroes can help the police fight criminals.

But the police were not happy.

Because that would highlight their incompetence.

Furthermore, if the criminals are all caught by superheroes, where will their rewards and honors come from?

If the official superhero organization, as the most powerful official organization, were to meddle in even trivial matters like fighting gangs, not only the police, but also the military and even the government would lose public support, thus sowing the seeds of conflict.

It's fine once or twice.

If this happens too often, the local government will suspect that the Avengers have ulterior motives.

"But I am not the Avenger!"

Chapter 325 Understanding Intentions

I'm not an Avenger, so I don't have that many scruples.

So all you need to do is tell me about those people and let me handle it.

Ryougi Shiki's words are very straightforward.

Fury understood immediately, but instead of telling her directly about the group, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, you don't need to care about them."

"why?"

"Because the Vongola family will kill them."

"Vongola?"

"A Mafia family."

Fury explained, "They are very powerful and are the current underground leaders in America. That group is ambitious and wants to take their place, but they will inevitably be destroyed by the Vongola in the end."

"What if the Vongola loses?"

"How could this be..."

Fury instinctively wanted to say it was impossible, but he stopped halfway through his sentence.

Although the group moved frequently and made a great show of force, they did not display any extraordinary power, and they deliberately avoided affecting ordinary people.

Therefore, although the impact was significant, it did not lead to serious consequences.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury was busy reorganizing S.H.I.E.L.D., investigating Hydra's hidden forces in the outside world, and developing the Tesseract... He was too busy with his own official duties to pay much attention to trivial matters like gang warfare.

After inquiring at the beginning and learning that the gang warfare sweeping across the United States had not caused much harm to ordinary citizens, I stopped paying attention.

Therefore, he didn't actually know much about that group.

However, while Fury didn't understand those people, he knew the Vongola family very well.

They have many experts and are full of strong individuals.

If Hawke hadn't returned stronger, the Avengers wouldn't have been able to guarantee a 100% win rate.

Even the world's strongest superhero organization is finding the Vongola's power troublesome, let alone other gangs... Although those guys are currently in control and have forced the Vongola into a defensive posture, it's still the same.

The Vongola Family has only been in this world for about half a year and has only two or three hundred members. Although they have recruited many more later, they still only have about 500 members.

However, their territory covers most of the United States.

With so few people trying to control so much territory, I'm just dreaming.

Although there are also quite a few affiliated gangs.

But since they aren't family members and their service is recent, their loyalty isn't very high. Expecting them to risk their lives to protect the Vongola family's assets is unrealistic.

In addition, the Vongola Family's prohibition of drug trafficking and human trafficking, which cuts off people's livelihoods, makes many gangs hate the Vongola Family to the core.

If the Vongola hadn't killed Kingpin and swiftly eliminated those opposing forces who were dissatisfied with them, they probably would have turned against the Vongola family themselves before those people even appeared.

Now that someone has stepped forward to confront the Vongola Family and seized the initiative, these previously silent gangsters have also stepped forward and joined the army against the Vongola Family.

This led to the Vongola family's gradual defeat.

But territory and industry are all superficial; ultimately, strength determines victory or defeat.

When the Vongola family is forced into a corner, they will abandon their businesses and concentrate their efforts on attacking opposing forces.

Even if doing so results in heavy losses, the final victory will surely be won by the side with superior strength.

Compared to factions that have never demonstrated extraordinary power, Fury naturally favors the Vongola's extraordinary power, which is comparable to that of a nation.

But the claim that he has never demonstrated extraordinary power...

That refers to the past.

Last night, Ryougi Shiki killed one of the opponent's superhuman combatants.

If the opponent already possesses one person with extraordinary combat power, then they might have even more.

Was that gang of unknown backgrounds really just overconfident individuals trying to challenge the extraordinary with ordinary abilities, as he imagined? Were they ignorant and narrow-minded people who didn't know the strength of their enemy?

Think about it more carefully.

Typical gang shootouts usually take place in sparsely populated areas to avoid attracting police attention.

But this group of people are far too self-disciplined.

Apart from a few accidents that were similar to car crashes, there were no incidents that harmed ordinary citizens.

So much so that even though it was a gang war sweeping across the entire United States, the government and even S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't take it seriously, and even felt indifferent.

If the concern is simply about police interference, then this is going too far.

The severity of the consequences of a mob brawl will determine how seriously the police take it. They won't ignore it just because it doesn't affect civilians.

Police will still be dispatched when necessary.

In this era of Superman's departure, with the Earth becoming increasingly chaotic and rife with crime, the police are also short-handed. Gang warfare of the level seen in the past is unlikely to trigger a nationwide crackdown on organized crime.

Therefore, the other party is not worried about the police.

Instead, they were worried about S.H.I.E.L.D.

They possess immense superhuman strength and are confident they can defeat the Vongola, but they worry that at the last moment, the Avengers, who have cooperated with the Vongola family twice, will intervene.

Therefore, they feigned weakness to the enemy.

First, have ordinary gang members attack the Vongola Family's properties in various locations. This will draw the Vongola Family's forces to disperse and defeat them one by one, while also making the Vongola Family and S.H.I.E.L.D. careless and complacent.

They believe that a group of ordinary people, even with a large presence, are nothing special.

When S.H.I.E.L.D. stops paying attention to this matter, and the Vongola family suffers losses to the point of no return, they decide to abandon their businesses and gather their strength for a counterattack, thus annihilating the Vongola family in one fell swoop.

If that's really the case.

If everything is controlled by the leader of that group behind the scenes, then this unknown force is terrifying.

Thinking of this, Fury let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Ryougi Shiki and said, "You're right, I can't be sure."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Ryougi Shiki to speak.

He continued, "This is just because I owe you a favor, so I'll give you the information about that group for free. But first, I need to find out more about it."

"..."

Ryougi Shiki's eyes widened.

I've been rambling on and on about feelings, and you still don't understand, right?

In short, do not act rashly.

Sofri warned, "Those people are suspicious. Let me find out more before we talk about anything else."

"...wasting my time."

Ryougi Shiki glared at Fury for a moment, then left after saying those words.

Fury couldn't help but shake his head, and then he left.

"Sir, you haven't paid for your meals yet."

A waiter stopped him.

Fury's one eye couldn't help but widen. How come there were people paying for the appointment?
