Chapter 102 Aegis Renamed, The Transaction Continues
"Long time no see, Mr. Coulson. But I don't think you are very happy to see me at this time." Zhou Yi personally greeted Coulson, who came here specially. When he took Coulson to the study, Serana had thoughtfully served two cups of coffee.
"Thank you, Miss Serana." Coulson first bowed his head slightly to thank Serana, and then responded to Zhou Yi. "Although my boss is furious about this, he has been black-faced for the past week or so. But I don't really care about his face for a long time. So I am very happy to see you. Thank you. to the people of Paris."
"Wow! It's surprising." Zhou Yi smiled, and he was very satisfied with Coulson's statement. "Should I say that you are a special agent, or should I say that I have a unique charm? Can you make a high-level agent like you stand on my side?"
"Maybe both." Coulson put on a playful smile on his face. "But I believe it's the former that is more important. Not everyone can put themselves in the shoes of others like me. Especially when I'm doing such a special job."
"Okay, okay. Let's get down to business. I'm here to ask you for help. Or to ask for the help of the department behind you. It should be called this name. Seriously, you guys It really should be changed. Who can remember such a name."
"We have changed our names, Mr. Zhou." Coulson responded with a smile. "We are now called S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D.. The proposal to change the name was suggested by your friend, Mr. Tony Stark. After an internal unanimous decision, we changed to the current name."
"Okay, S.H.I.E.L.D. Well, it sounds more pleasing to the ear. Just like what I just said, I need your S.H.I.E.L.D. help." Zhou Yi shrugged, facing the serious Coulson he repeated what he just said. topic of.
"There's no problem with this, Mr. Zhou. But you know, everything has a price. We can help, but in return, you have to pay a certain price." No need to think too much. What, Coulson agreed to Zhou Yi's request. For him, it is very important to be able to establish a certain cooperative relationship with the Dawn Knights during this time. Especially after the Knights of Dawn showed such terrifying strength.
"A price, is there a price to pay? I thought that with our relationship, there should be no problem in inquiring about minor issues." Zhou Yi said in a rather helpless tone. He really wanted to get some information out of Coulson for free.
"There's nothing wrong with the grapevine, depending on our relationship. But if it's a matter of confidentiality, or if you need to use the manpower and material resources within S.H.I.E.L.D., I can only say sorry. After all, I'm just a part-time worker." Coulson was even more innocent, and he responded to Zhou Yi's request with a very clear statement.
Zhou Yi had already foreshadowed this answer. S.H.I.E.L.D. is, after all, an espionage organization, not a charity. It is impossible to get them to contribute without paying some price.
"Okay, what do you need?" Zhou Yi asked.
Coulson shook his head slightly and asked back with a smile.
"No, no, it should say what kind of help you need from us. Only after knowing your needs can we judge what price you need to pay. After all, we still want to establish a cooperative relationship with you, stupidly. Bidding is not something a smart person should do."
Watching Coulson's eyes silently, Zhou Yi carefully observed the man's eyes. From his eyes, Zhou Yi saw only sincerity. And this sincerity is enough to let him let go of his little wariness.
"Very well, Mr. Coulson. People like you deserve my friendship."
"That's my honor." Coulson's face showed a surprised expression. "The friendship of the Dawn Knights that I can reach is enough to show off to my friends for a while. Should we take a photo and leave evidence or something? You know, there are many people in my industry who like to pay attention to evidence."
Coulson's words were a bit joking, which made the atmosphere a little more lively. Of course, it also made the subsequent negotiation of interests easier.
"As long as you don't put this kind of thing in front of Miss Maria Hill, I think there should be no problem. Of course, I have to put on the armor first."
Lifting the armor, Coulson's face twitched a few times. He suffered a big loss in the last transaction. A few pieces of armor traded between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Zhou Yi had no other effect at all, except that the material was a little rarer and the fighting ability was stronger. Moreover, the expensive cost made those who wanted to popularize the Dawn Armor in the army not dare to say a word. Spending millions of dollars to equip this stuff is a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. Although this is what they have been doing, they dare not be so blatant.
Of course, Coulson also received a lot of reprimands for this. Although in terms of punishment, it was topped by Director Nick Fury. But verbal admonitions are equally unpleasant, especially when they come from Nick Fury, who likes to taunt people.
"Of course, but I think we should settle the business first, don't we?" Coulson directly changed the subject, and when he mentioned the armor, he would think of Nick Fury's chatter, it was not worth it memories.
"Okay, it's up to you." Although he didn't understand why Coulson changed his direction on the topic, Zhou Yi still accepted what he said, and he began to explain his needs.
"My request is very simple. First, I need to know who attacked the principal of the Xavier School for Gifted Teens, Professor Charles Xavier. The more detailed the information, the better, and it is best to tell me directly where Professor Charles is now! Two, I need your S.H.I.E.L.D. to come forward and stop the president's unfavorable bill for the creation of mutants. That's my request."
"There should be no problem with the first request, and our information channels should be able to find the answer you want very quickly." Coulson thought for a while and replied. "But second, I can only say sorry. We have no right to interfere with the president's orders, even if his term is coming to an end."
"It doesn't have to stop him from forming the bill. As long as it can be delayed until I get Professor Charles back, that's acceptable."
"I need a little time to report this situation, this matter needs to be decided by the director. Also, as a friend, I need to warn you that you are too close to mutants. This is very important for your identity. It's not a good thing." Coulson stood up, he needed to find a place to report Zhou Yi's request. At the same time, he also persuaded Zhou Yi as a friend.
He knew Zhou Yi's family situation, and also knew his love for Xia Ruisi. But it's a bit too much to help a huge group of mutants just because of this. You must know that a considerable part of the mutants are extreme racial elements like Magneto, and they are a huge threat to the security of human society.
"I think I've chosen the right path, Phil. Thank you for your kindness, though."
Zhou Yi politely rejected Coulson's admonition. He has been planning for so long, even to the point of death. It is impossible to choose to give up at this time. Of course, he wouldn't say this to an outsider like Coulson.
Coulson spread his hands, he had done his duty as a friend. Naturally, there is no need to continue entangled in this matter. After all, their friendship was far from that level of solidity. So he pushed open the door directly and walked outside to report their transaction.
After a while, he returned. And gave Zhou Yi's answer.
"Director Fury has acceded to your request. We can delay for two weeks, and after two weeks it will be up to you to convince Mr. President."
"Okay, so what information do I want?"
"At present, it is only known that a special department under the military did it. They seem to have a peculiar ability to resist Mr. Charles' psychic power. And they also have quite elite special forces, because the information we got is that even In less than a minute, Professor Charles and his student Mr. Scott Summers were under control. They appeared to be about to board the train to Washington, but they were attacked on the way."
"Do you know who carried out the attack? And what did they do to Professor Charles? Is he still alive, and if so, where is he imprisoned?"
"Professor Charles is still alive. Our video records show a group of people boarded a military helicopter with two comatose guys. One of the comatose guys is still in a wheelchair. But where they are, we don't know. Understood. The military has always had a grudge with us. It is very difficult for us to get the core information on such a highly classified special unit. What we only know at the moment is that the leader of this unit is Major General William Stryker, he He has participated in the early mutant experiments of the military, and is a complete anti-mutant faction!"
After getting this news, Zhou Yi fell into silence. He needs a little time to sort out the situation. And Coulson also kept quiet with discernment, just enjoying Serana's coffee while waiting for Zhou Yi's reaction.
After a while, Zhou Yi said.
"Thank you for the news, Phil. I think I know what to do next. So, tell me your terms. I don't think you're going to make too many demands as smart people."
"Of course, trust us. We made the most appropriate and fair deal." Coulson smiled and blinked. "Our request is very simple, I hope you can accompany one of our agents to sneak into Laken City after Christmas and use your clear identity. You also know the information you sent me, those things have attracted a lot of attention. ."
"But Umbrella's protection measures for Laken City are very strict, and it is difficult for our spies to break in with ordinary identities, so we thought of you. Negotiate with Umbrella with your clear identity, we know There are some big problems with Umbrella's recent capital chain. They will not refuse an investor with a lot of money to step in. Our people use your identity as a cover to collect enough evidence. As long as the evidence is enough, Umbrella's end won't be too far away."
"Just using my official identity?" Zhou Yi smiled, this is a question worth discussing.
"It's best to only use your identity. Of course, if there is an emergency, we also need a hero to save the field, don't we?"
Coulson asked back. Zhou Yi thought about this answer for a while, but still stretched out his right hand.
"Happy cooperation!" The two hands were clasped together, which also meant that a behemoth intervened in the attack on Umbrella.
