Early the next morning, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury, appeared in his office on time.He checked his work schedule for the day, well, it was rare that there were no meetings for him to attend, which meant that Fury might be able to take a break from his busy schedule today and leave work on time.This made the director of the boiled egg head feel very happy.Become an agent.There is still a big difference in managing an agent organization.The former can occasionally go out on assignments, while the latter spends most of his work sitting in the office.Merlin occasionally performs some of the more important tasks himself, but Fury hasn't been out in the field for almost a decade.Even in the days when the confrontation with Hydra was at its worst, Fury was still sitting peacefully in his office.He had to do that, he had to stay in this building, be a mascot, stabilize people's hearts.If one day, even the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has to personally draw his gun and go into battle, it means that this organization is really about to end.Ten minutes later, the ruthless signature machine Nick.
Fury, finally finished dealing with a bunch of documents that needed to be signed.He looked left and right, secretly took out a portable electronic scale from the filing cabinet behind him, put it on the ground, then took off his shoes and stood on it.Soon, a number that made Fury frown violently appeared on the scale."
Alas, I'm fat again."
Fury patted himself on the stomach, and he sadly hid the scales, then moved his waist and walked to the office window.He looked at the cold, serious face reflected in the mirror.That expression that has been solidified, as if the whole world owes money to that face.Fury reached out, pinched his face, and smiled widely at the glass.The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., has always been a steady Nick.
Fury, there are occasional times when he goes off the line, and of course, most of the agents can't see the funny appearance of their director.A "bang, bang" knock sounded in the office, and Fury hurriedly adjusted his expression and returned to his original state of indifference.He coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Come in." ”The next moment, the door to the office was pushed open, and Alexander, who was on a cane.
Pierce staggered into Fury's office."
Pierce?"
Fury looked back at the old boss in surprise and said, "Why did you come to me?"
”"I'll stop by and have a look."
Pierce sat down on the couch with a smile.The president of the World Security Council is very old, and compared with more than a decade ago, Pierce really seems to have become old.Wrinkles appeared on his forehead, his gray hair became completely white and thin, and his waist, which had always been straight, was bent down.Even the expression on his face has changed to the kindness and kindness that an old man should have.Only those eyes seemed to be as bright and sharp as they had been."
Isn't Merlin here?"
Pierce sat on the couch with his cane in both hands, watching Fury make coffee for him himself, and the old man asked, "I just went to his office, and he's on vacation today?"
”"Not really."
Fury replied, "He's going on a pretty important 'business' and it may take a while to come back." ”"Oh, that's right."
Pierce nodded, and he said, "That's good, he's still as responsible as I remember, and he never refuses to take on responsibilities that he should shoulder, well, I'm not wrong about him." ”"You'll say these things to me every time you come over."
Fury walked to the table with two cups of coffee, placed a cup of coffee in front of Pierce, sat down on the sofa on the other side, and said to his old friend, "I was skeptical that Merlin was your illegitimate son...
It's been more than ten years, and I've never heard any disappointment from you. ”"Because he never let us down."
Pierce said with a smile: "Since I met him, until now, he has not done a single thing, no matter how difficult it is, he also helped you eliminate the Hydra elements hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D." ”"Those damn bastards hid in our shadows for decades, only to be exposed by a young man.""
I didn't say he was bad."
Fury spread his hands and said, "Merlin has always been my most effective assistant." ”"So, how about letting him be the governor?"
Pierce suddenly said, "Let Merlin take your place and really start commanding S.H.I.E.L.D....""
A younger leader may be able to make S.H.I.E.L.D. more energetic and take on more responsibilities in the field of world security affairs...""
He went to Switzerland for a meeting on my behalf, and my old friends had a very good opinion of Merlin, and everyone admired this young man who acted more than words.""
Young people?
He's almost 40," Fury wasn't overwhelmed by Pierce's sudden topic.He picked up his coffee and said to Pierce, "Besides, it's not impossible to have Merlin take over as director, he's already proven himself in the position of deputy director, but...
What about me?
Pierce, are you going to let me retire like this?
”"Of course not!"
Pierce, like an old urchin, winked at Fury, and said, "I'm going to recommend you to the World Security Council...""
It's the same as when I was recommended by Ms.
Carter.You're going to have to go through my path all over again, and maybe your relationship with Merlin in the future will be the same as my relationship with you now. ”Fury hesitated, he didn't resist entering politics, he had been a secret agent all his life, and it would be nice to change roles when he was old.However, he was still a little hesitant, he said, "It's too sudden, isn't it?"
”"Suddenly?
No, not suddenly. ”Pierce took a sip of coffee, and he said to Fury: "Your qualifications are completely sufficient, and S.H.I.E.L.D., as a subordinate body of the World Security Council, is already in the same system, and promotion to the Council is also a normal process, and no one will object." ”"There is no one more qualified to serve as a custodian of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the rest of the system than you."
The old man shook his neck, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned the topic to a tone of conversation between friends, and he said: "Look at me, Fury, I'm old, I now have to walk with a cane, I can't sleep for five hours a night, I just twisted my waist last week, and I was still asleep during the meeting yesterday, and I'm a little overwhelmed." ”"Maybe in a few years, I'm going to die," said Pierre to Fury, "I'll have to make arrangements for the future while I still have time." ”"You've got SSS serum in your hand."
Fury said, "It's you who don't want to use it...""
That thing has after-effects, Fury."
Pierce persuaded, "It's going to make you dementia someday, I don't want to die as an old fool, I advise you not to use that thing...""
Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the law of nature, it is the order of nature, we should abide by it, maintain it, not break it.""
Order...
Well, order is already your faith, and I won't quarrel with you about this. ”Frymore rubbed his chin and said, "But I have to think about this matter for a while, and I can't give you an answer right away." ”"Pierce, even if I am willing to obey your arrangement and transfer the work between me and Merlin, it will take a long time for the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to complete the change of power.""
So you have to hurry up."
Pierce stood up, he shook his waist, and he said to Fury, "Hurry up and finish it while I can still do something for you."
Okay, I'm leaving, you keep busy. ”"Hmm."
Fury gets up to deliver one to Pierce, but just as the office door opens, Fury's assistant, Agent Hill, walks to the director's office with a stack of papers.As Pierce passed by, he saw the name on the cover of the paper.Allahbray, umbrella ...
These few keywords made Pierce's eyes narrow.The old man suddenly reached out and patted his forehead, as if he had forgotten something important, and he turned back to Fury and said, "Ah, it's old...

There's one more thing I'd like to talk to you about, it won't disturb your work, right?
”"No, it won't."
Fury didn't notice anything, and he and Pierce returned to the office, where Agent Hill placed the papers on the director's desk and turned away.There were two more old men left in the office."
The other day, the Central Park thing, that runaway monster..."
Pierce sat on the couch, he watched Fury pick up the papers, and he said, "What happened to the investigation of that thing?"
”"Why do you suddenly care about this?"
Fury looked at the documents related to the umbrella company as he casually asked, "I thought you would care about something higher." ”"I don't want to, Fury, I'm an old man, I have limited energy, but there's always something...
You can't avoid it. ”Pierce sighed, and he said, "The Sky Eye will suffer a lot of damage in that operation, they have a commando team that is almost completely wiped out, and you know that organization is directly under the orders of the White House." ”"That's why some old friends have brought the lawsuit to me, and they say that there are S.H.I.E.L.D. combat units that obstruct the operations of the commandos, resulting in serious injuries to the elite soldiers...""
Personally, I don't believe that, but I still have to understand the situation.""
Humph!
They still have the face to mention it!
”Fury's expression turned indifferent, and he said to Pierce, "It's true that our agents stopped the operation of the Sky Eye Society commandos, but the reason was because those guys were careless about human life!"
”"Our investigation into that is over...""
There are more than 15 witnesses who witnessed the whole process of the commandos of the Tianyan Society shooting at innocent people, and I know that the commandos on the side of the Tianyan Society are very mixed, but with all due respect, they are really innocent.""
Our agents saved at least 27 innocent people in that critical moment...
He's the real hero!
”"Oh?
Is that so?
”Pierce didn't care about the truth of this matter at all, and when he talked about it, he just started talking, and he took the opportunity to ask, "What is the truth of this matter?"
”"I've heard that the remnants of Abstergo are working on some hellish illegal biological project?
How are these bastards restless...""
Fury, you have to put some effort into this, don't let those careerists have a chance to play.""
We've been working on it, Pierce."
Fury said helplessly: "There are many, many illegal biological experiments that we have blocked over the years, but people driven by profit or ambition have always existed. ”"The bioaugmentation project has always been a very hot outlet from the birth of Captain America to the present, and it is normal for it to be banned repeatedly.""
What's more, it's not as simple as you think, Pierce."
Fury said, "The news you got is fake, and this thing was not done by Abstergo's men. ”"Huh?"
Pierce's eyes widened and he showed a puzzled expression, and he said, "Not them?"
So who is that?
”"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, Pierce."
Fury gave an apologetic look and said to Pierce, "I can't just talk about it until the matter is concluded, but if you do care about it, then after it's over, I'll hand you an investigative report." ”"Uh, it's okay, it's okay."
Pierce hurriedly waved his hand, he smiled and said, "It's me who is abrupt, look at me, I used to be an agent, but now, I have forgotten the secrecy rules...""
I shouldn't have asked these things."
The old man stood up and said to Fury: "Now that the truth of the matter has been clarified, then I will leave first, you can continue to be busy, and don't forget to send a copy of the investigation record of those bastards who careless of human life to the White House." ”"Shut them up, and don't let them bother me again.""
Oh, by the way, I have a new idea for Project Insight, maybe we can make it up...""
Pierce—" Fury stood up and sent Pierce to the door of the office, he interrupted the old man with some helplessness, and he said to his old boss, "We've talked about this topic many times, and I know that you appreciate the idea and effect of the Insight, and you've always wanted to move it forward, but Merlin and I both think that this plan is lacking. ”"We have a lot of better ways to protect the order, to see into the deeply flawed kind of plan of...
Forget it. ”"Hmm."
Pierce nodded silently, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said with a regretful expression: "Alas, since you all say so, then forget it." ”()
