Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Colson was somewhat troubled.

Alexander is a Hydra agent, but he is also the Secretary-General of the World Security Council and the Minister of Defense. These identities prevent him from doing anything too outrageous to Alexander.

Otherwise, it would be easy to be held accountable by multiple parties.

This is no small matter.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is a powerful organization that directly connects with the White House Oval Office, Coulson cannot act recklessly before he has the authority to do so.

Nick Fury nodded; he understood the key point.

Not to mention Coulson, he himself was having some headaches.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury has extremely high levels of confidentiality, even surpassing those of the FBI and CIA.

However, they are also limited by the Presidential Office, and their authority is not much higher.

To some extent, Nick Fury didn't want to reveal that Hydra still existed and couldn't tell the president.

Not to mention the departments themselves, he had no idea how many Hydra agents were in the upper echelons of the government.

Nick Fury's mission is to wipe out all the lurking Hydra agents in one fell swoop.

However, they could not directly reveal that Hydra still existed.

Because it concerns the S.H.I.E.L.D. department.

If the news were reported to the president, and it was discovered that Hydra was lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D., there would be only one conclusion.

Whether S.H.I.E.L.D. still exists is questionable.

It will most likely be subject to review and split up.

The annual funding and resource privileges granted to S.H.I.E.L.D. are far too great.

Large agencies like the FBI and CIA will all pounce and bite hard.

Nick Fury also wants to preserve the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The blockade must be completely sealed off.

The search for and capture of the lurking Hydra must be conducted in secret.

But Alexander Pierce's official position was so important that if he didn't show up for an extended period, problems were bound to arise.

The biggest headache is that Pierce is a veteran agent who has undergone rigorous counter-interrogation training.

Let alone ordinary interrogation methods, even the truth serum that S.H.I.E.L.D. has developed at this stage would not be very effective against him.

“We don’t have much time left. If he doesn’t show up soon, some people inside will get restless.”

Nick Fury's one eye flashed with a cold light, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

He needs to find outside help.

“Keep an eye on Pierce. We absolutely cannot let him escape. Next, we need to take him to see someone.”

"Yes, Director."

I drank too much coffee and now I have insomnia. I'll probably wake up around 11 or 12 at night. I'll get up now and update 4,000 words first, set it to 7:00, and finish it in the early morning.

Chapter 255 Sweating Profusely: Iron Tyrant Obadiah (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Coulson and Melinda left.

Fury sat upright in place, glancing at the image frozen on the projection screen, feeling somewhat relaxed.

too difficult.

Fury never expected that something like this would happen in Washington today.

It almost sparked a war between humans and mutants.

Ordinary people might not know, but as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., didn't he investigate Magneto, Professor X, and the X-Men?

It can be said that these materials have already been fully investigated in the information and data archives.

Especially considering the attitude expressed by John, the FBI director in Washington, D.C.

Nick Fury sensed the crisis immediately.

He cursed those idiots inwardly for suddenly becoming so tough; they must have lost their minds.

Throughout history, a stable red line has been maintained between humans and mutants.

They can secretly persecute mutants in various ways.

Magneto and the X-Men, without crossing this red line, rescue and fight against mutants within the rules.

Ultimately, they won't completely break off relations.

Everyone maintained a certain level of understanding.

The reason for this is that they are afraid of Magneto and Professor X.

Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants and Professor X are like two nuclear bombs.

Once the fuse is triggered, an unprecedented disaster will immediately erupt.

Because these two are too powerful.

Magneto had already demonstrated his power and intimidation to the world in the early 1980s and 1990s.

Humans dare not push mutants to the brink of extinction, but only test the waters time and time again on this red line.

To test Magneto, and to test Professor X's bottom line.

Today, this red line has actually been torn apart.

No one knows what Nick Fury's state of mind was when he saw Magneto switch scenes on television and see the floating nuclear bomb.

I just want to curse.

He hasn't even dealt with Hydra, and now a war is about to break out here.

Keep in mind that Nick Fury had already picked up the Star Pager, ready to press the button and call back his old friend who hadn't been back to Earth for countless years if things went wrong.

As Jean Grey unleashed her power, nearly blowing up Washington, D.C., he had already entered the distress code and was just waiting for confirmation.

Fortunately, the mysterious Terran Emperor eventually appeared and resolved the crisis.

The situation is now both chaotic and stable.

The chaos stemmed from the fact that Hydra, mutants, presidential assassinations, and other events all erupted at the same time.

The stable place is that of the Terran Emperor.

Nick Fury was somewhat relieved that there was actually someone like the Terra Emperor in this world.

Fury's moral bottom line is very flexible.

No matter how strong his desire for control or how great his paranoia, he was ultimately not a purely power-hungry ambitious man.

Essentially, he hopes that the Earth can remain peaceful.

Ideally, we should have the power to counter external threats.

Ideally, one should be the one maintaining stability.

But since the Terran Empire exists and the Terran Emperor has caused Nick Fury's own ideas to deviate, at least it's better to have it than not.

The Earth possesses its own unique power.

Fury knew that the existence of Terra and the Emperor kept Earth at peace for the time being, and prevented it from being threatened by external forces.

The role of maintaining stability and overseeing the overall situation has shifted, and Fury accepts it wholeheartedly.

His primary objective now is to deal with Hydra first.

This is Fury's biggest worry.

Whatever future plans there are, they must be based on the premise that S.H.I.E.L.D. remains clean.

"Pierce~~"

Fury's single eye flashed with a cold light; the breakthrough point was this old man.

......

There is no doubt that this incident in Washington has once again ignited global attention.

The president was assassinated, nearly leading to a full-scale war with mutants.

Whether it's the US government's tough stance or the mutant threat theory, both have sparked disputes between two opposing camps.

One group believes the White House's response was correct.

In particular, Magneto has gained the ability to launch nuclear weapons at any time, which clearly escalates the threat level posed by Magneto.

Professor X is alright.

Many people know how powerful Professor X is, but most ordinary people don't.

I've only ever heard of Professor X.

Many people do not consider him a threat at all, let alone think that he is more threatening than Magneto.

On the contrary, it's Jean Grey, the Phoenix from X-Men.

The power she displayed was terrifying.

The combination of these two factors meant that the threat of mutants officially entered the hearts of all humanity.

Humans will always fear those who hold the power to destroy them.

Because everyone is afraid of death.

Everyone would be afraid.

Especially since the nuclear button that could destroy them is in the hands of mutants.

Who isn't afraid?

Who can be sure that Magneto, a terrorist who was originally portrayed and promoted as such, will never press the button to detonate a nuclear bomb?

What if this old man goes crazy one day?

As people get older, it's not uncommon for some elderly people to do crazy things.

Therefore, this group advocates that mutants must be eliminated.

The opposing camp argues that mutants themselves are innocent, and that the environment and the government have deliberately promoted the mutant threat theory, making the environment in which mutants live increasingly harsh.

The responsibility lies entirely with the government.

We must reflect, we must change; they do not want war to break out.

The two camps continued their discussions.

The only point of consensus reached was within the Terra Empire and among the Emperors.

Guardians of order and humanity.

Two global crises, one the demon invasion in Manhattan and the other the Washington incident, solidified the reputation of the Emperor and the Terra Empire.

What else is there to say?

There's definitely no room for doubt.

This is a living, breathing deity.

No one knows how many years they have lived, nor how long the Emperor, leading the three great warbands of Astartes, Ravens, and Grey Knights, has silently protected the Earth.

The unknown is what makes people most likely to fill in the blanks with their imagination.

Terra has made a fortune from its reputation.

Deep down, they believed that Terra and the Emperor posed no threat to them; on the contrary, they were their great fathers, protectors who safeguarded them and the Earth from external threats.

What are you questioning?
