Chapter 91 Raymond versus S.H.I.E.L.D.
"The NYPD said that the building collapse that happened a few days ago was actually a planned directional demolition by blasting. Citizens don't have to worry. No one was injured during the blasting."
Raymond, wearing a single-sided headset, listened to the news report while leaning against the leftmost fast lane with a stern face. He listened carefully to the roar of the engine and stepped on the accelerator when it reached the highest point. The car was running very fast, almost on the edge of speeding.
The reflection of his glasses was faintly reflecting the neon lights of the city into a beautiful shadow of the girl.
At the same time, Gwen was answering with a serious face: "Why are you asking him?"
Under the incandescent light, the girl's brows froze. She almost entered the highest alert state as soon as she heard the name "Raymond Xu" - Gwen now has a deep understanding of how dangerous Raymond is involved.
And she didn't know what the group of people in front of her were up to. The girl was thinking wildly, what if they were Kingpin's people, or the Kingpin's backers mentioned by Raymond, and wanted to do something to Raymond...
"He gave you the suit that belonged to us, so of course we need to know what you are doing." Nick Fury said in a flat tone, "In addition, Miss Spider, I have an invitation here-"
"What invitation?" Gwen raised her "highest alert" to a higher level. She was always talking nonsense on weekdays, but today she was very frugal with her words-the girl was afraid of saying the wrong thing and causing unnecessary trouble for herself and Raymond.
It must be said that after being around Raymond for a long time, even the chatterbox Spider knew the harm of talking too much nonsense-not to mention giving others the opportunity to put the shit pot on her, even the possible and unintentional information leakage made the blonde girl tremble with fear.
"SHIELD is building a rapid response force to deal with crises beyond this world." Nick turned his back, put his hands on his waist and looked at the starry night sky, "Miss Stacy, if you are willing, you can become the top force of this force."
"And--" Nick Fury turned around and stared at Gwen with his only remaining eye, "with the full support of SHIELD."
"Mr. Pickled Egg--" Gwen called Nick Fury's nickname that she had just given him, smiled and gently changed the subject, "Don't get so close, I don't know which eye to stare at."
"You mean to say no to me, Miss Ghost Spider?" Nick Fury took a step back helplessly, and the only remaining eye of the one-eyed black man showed dissatisfaction, "You know, no one can refuse me yet."
"You also have to think clearly about the price of refusal."
"You're wrong, Mr. Black Egg." Gwen mocked Nick Fury in various ways, "Ghost Spider is just a good neighbor of New York citizens, not an exclusive agent of a certain government department."
"Is working for Raymond Xu also a good neighbor of New York citizens?"
"At least he won't break into my house late at night, point a gun at me, and ask me to join his team." Gwen said angrily, "And you haven't even told me your name!?"
"Nick Fury." Egghead introduced himself like this, "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Hearing this name, Gwen's pupils shrank, and the shocked girl suddenly thought of what her mentor said-"As an ordinary person, to accomplish something, I must have a chair, a chair that is at least higher in status than Nick Fury."
This "Nick Fury", wouldn't it be...?
As the girl raised her shocked blue eyes, Nick Fury also became suspicious-it stands to reason that neither Raymond Xu nor Gwen Stacy should know her, but what she is showing now... How could she know her?
"Gentlemen, gathering so many people at a girl's house late at night to block her is not a polite behavior, right?"
Gwen listened to the familiar voice, and her highly alert body finally relaxed a little - the girl has become accustomed to having someone to protect her from the wind and rain in these embarrassing situations that she is not familiar with and difficult to deal with.
Natasha Romanoff followed Raymond Xu in. The tall young Asian man took off his coat and handed it to the Black Widow behind him without any hesitation. He didn't turn his head, but just smiled at Nick Fury standing opposite Gwen.
Black Widow looked at the coat that was inexplicably stuffed into her hands, with an unbelievable look on her face - I am a top agent of SHIELD, and he used me as a hanger?
Rumlow, who was standing next to her with an M4 assault rifle, felt even more unhappy - during the whole process, Raymond didn't even look at him, as if he had completely ignored his existence.
Nick Fury looked at Raymond Xu in surprise, and then at Natasha Romanoff behind him. The director's eyes made it clear, how did you let him in?
"He has an IARPA pass." Black Widow said helplessly, "and..."
"And what?"
A drone with blue light hovered in front of Gwen's window, and the two black holes of the machine gun muzzle under the drone pointed at the people in the room. The drone that Gwen placed on the bedside table also rose automatically at this time. The girl turned her head to look out the window, only to see more blue flashes in the sky-
Then Raymond snapped his fingers lightly, and the flashing blue lights of the drone's ToF radar group suddenly turned red, as if it was a warning to everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.
At this time, Black Widow reluctantly added the second half of the sentence: "He said he was just looking for his students and didn't want to conflict with us."
Although Natasha thought that with her own skills, it would not be a problem to deal with these drones, she still didn't want to fight in New York City - especially when this conflict could be avoided.
After all, as an agent, she is not just a muscle in her head.
"Raymond Xu, I have heard of you for a long time." Nick Fury came over with a relaxed look and stretched out his hand to Raymond, "Introduce myself, Director of SHIELD, Nick Fury."
"I know you, your agents came to the front desk of Stark Industries to harass us some time ago." Raymond said very bluntly, "Trying to make us give up prosecuting a bastard who wants to kill the chairman of the board of directors of Stark Industries."
Nick Fury was slightly shocked. This matter was hosted by Alexander Pierce. Although Pierce informed Agent Coulson, Nick was busy with the establishment of the so-called "emergency team" and the follow-up work of the "Pegasus Project", so Coulson did not have time to tell Fury.
In other words, Egghead didn't know about this.
"This is what our job requires." Although it was not clear what it was, Nick Fury still pushed back Raymond's impolite words, "It is also what our job requires tonight. Breaking through the SHIELD blockade and using armed drones to threaten us is not only impolite, but also stupid."
"Sometimes stupidity is necessary." Raymond pushed away Ramrod and Natasha and walked over without paying attention to others, protecting Gwen behind him, and said to Nick Fury: "Especially when teachers protect their students."
"We just want to get your students out of a trouble." Nick Fury approached Raymond Xu, "and invite her to join us."
"She is still a 20-year-old undergraduate, joining SHIELD?" Raymond showed a sarcastic expression, "Besides, I think she should have rejected you."
At this point, Raymond and Gwen looked at each other, and the young professor saw happiness and peace of mind in the student's blue eyes, as well as confirmation of what he said - Gwen was secretly happy that the two of them had a tacit understanding!
"No one can refuse me." Nick Fury said conceitedly, "Miss Stacy will always choose to join me."
"Then give it a try." Raymond said fearlessly - maybe in the movie universe, Nick Fury can really use various means to trick or deceive superheroes wearing colorful battle suits to form the Avengers, but...
Gwen Stacy is his, Raymond Xu's, person, and he will not let Gwen get involved in the dirty business of the Avengers!
"By the way, the trouble you mentioned..." Raymond raised his lips and looked at Nick Fury in front of him through the upper edge of his glasses: "You mean Gwen was misunderstood to attack the NYPD patrolman?"
"I have communicated clearly with the NYPD, and Gwen's hands cannot detect the reaction of gunpowder smoke." Raymond sneered, "Want to use this to threaten her to join SHIELD? I didn't expect your methods to be so inferior!"
"Oh wow--!" Nick Fury slightly expressed his surprise-it was difficult to tell whether this person was pretending to be surprised or really surprised, "That's good, good teacher!"
As he said, the black director also gave Raymond a thumbs up.
"Also, Egghead, I hope you won't harass her again in the future. She is just a girl who wants to do something within her ability, not an agent trained since childhood!"
Raymond called Nick Fury's nickname without hesitation. His words were powerful, warning everyone in SHIELD. At the same time, the sound of the duct fans of the drones suddenly increased, obviously the power was enhanced, and they were switching to combat maneuvering mode!
Rumlow, who had a bad temper, wanted to take action, but was held down by Nick Fury. The black director was a little annoyed, but he still suppressed his anger: "I hope you remember what I said tonight, Professor Xu!"
Then he turned around and left with everyone in SHIELD, leaving only Raymond and Gwen with an unfathomable back.
Raymond turned around and was about to comfort Gwen when the golden-haired head suddenly rushed into his arms. The girl's breathing became intense, and Gwen, who had wrapped herself in layers of camouflage, finally took off her defense and enjoyed the smell of Raymond.
After a while, Gwen finally raised her eyes. The girl took two steps back, smoothed her hair a little stiffly, and then lowered her head slightly: "I really don't know how to thank you, Ray..."
Raymond took a step forward, hugged the embarrassed girl in his arms, and whispered in her ear:
"Then hug for a while longer, I like this..."
