Chapter 728 Overestimating the Limits of SHIELD, Imagination Limited by Poverty (1/2)
Chapter 728 Overestimating the bottom line of SHIELD, imagination limited by poverty
The next day, Aaron was awakened by his biological clock at six in the morning.
After a simple wash, he took Abe to find Coulson.
"Not here?" Aaron looked at the agent in front of him in astonishment, "Did Coulson leave any message? For example, send me a car or something?"
"This... No."
"Haha!" Aaron curled his lips and cursed in a low voice: "What a mean guy!"
"What did you say?" Coulson walked over, his expression normal, "Are you scolding me?"
"How could that be?" Aaron said with a fake smile, "I just suspect that you don't want me to leave, so I plan to drive a car away later and let this agent help tell you."
"How much do you distrust me!" Coulson said unhappily, "I really want you to stay and help, but you don't have to use such means!"
He was originally planning to risk his old face, but the director suddenly had a better way, or a more advanced way, although it was more dishonest.
"Let's go! I'll take you there."
"I've judged you by my own standards." Aaron smiled embarrassedly, "Come to my store next week to get the hair growth potion, I'll give you a 50% discount.
I hope you're still alive after the hammer incident, good luck."
Colson smiled and said nothing, he started the car and drove towards Old Bridge Town.
Aaron watched the scenery outside quickly recede, he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from danger and exposure, and his mood was a little relieved.
After about an hour, when the car just drove into Old Bridge Town, Coulson's cell phone rang.
He answered the phone naturally, and then his face changed obviously, "Okay, I know."
"What's wrong?"
"Uh... You may not believe it." Coulson said awkwardly, "A military exercise covered the only way for us to go back."
"What?"
"It's not that we can't go back, but we have to wait two or three more days."
"Haha!" Aaron rolled his eyes, "Smart, really smart.
In order to keep me in this broken place, SHIELD actually cooperated with the military."
"No, it's not true, it's really just a coincidence."
"Your hair growth potion is gone."
"Ah?" Coulson touched his forehead subconsciously, and a feeling of loss spread from the bottom of his heart.
"What? You still have the nerve to do that?
I'm telling you, don't even mention a 50% discount. If you dare to ask me again, I'll break your leg."
"But this really has nothing to do with me!
I called the director last night, and he approved it very straightforwardly. He was also worried that if you stayed, something bad would happen!"
"Tsk! Do you think I'll believe it?" Aaron sneered at him, "I should have evacuated overnight, but I didn't expect that I still overestimated the bottom line of your SHIELD.
How shameful! In order to get me to stay, you can even make up excuses like military exercises."
"We really didn't..."
"You don't need to explain, I understand everything, and I believe you also understand that I understand everything." Aaron interrupted impatiently, "So keep it simple and be honest.
Tell Nick Fury that my salary will be doubled, ten times, no, a hundred times."
Coulson was surprised, "What do you mean?" "Thinking is one million" "that is the basic salary." Aaron emphasized a serious emphasis. "Aaron couldn't help laughing." The SHIELD may be able to protect Sol in this town. "The Thunder God who lost his strength was hidden in the atrium. Can you guarantee that no one knows this. Errsen was stunned. He seemed to understand why Aaron ran away. He is like a time bomb now, the time of detonation is uncertain, but the probability of explosion increases the later it is pushed.
"Do you understand?"
"I think I understand." Coulson smiled bitterly, "If this is not my mission, I would want to run away."
"So the basic salary of 10 million is not expensive, the risk I take is much greater than this.
In addition to 10 million, SHIELD must also reimburse me for my losses in this incident."
"Your bullets and potions?" Coulson asked tentatively.
"There are also food expenses, accommodation expenses, mental damage compensation, etc.
Tell Nick Fury to be mentally prepared. If he is unlucky, he will have to pay me more than nine figures.
Also, remind him not to think about defaulting on his debts. I am not that easy to bully."
"Uh... I will tell him, but isn't nine figures too exaggerated?"
Aaron raised his eyebrows and pretended to take out a bullet that had been enchanted seven times from his pocket. "The pinnacle of life, its value exceeds nine figures."
Coulson:......
Do you think I believe it?
"Then is there any way to solve this problem as soon as possible?"
"Yes." Aaron said without hesitation, "Help Thor get his power back.
This has two advantages. First, we don't have to take any risks. Second, we can gain a powerful ally.
Remember my evaluation of Thor? Simple-minded and well-developed, he is too honest and will help his friends without reservation."
Coulson blinked, his heart was moved for a moment, and then he was defeated by the helpless reality.
It's easy to say that Thor will regain his power, but when it comes to doing it... there's no direction.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"We need to contact Thor first. I have to figure out the cause and effect of the matter!"
"What can SHIELD do?"
"Keep a friendly attitude and monitor the data. Asgardians may visit in the near future.
Report to me immediately if you find them, but don't contact them rashly, because you don't know whether they are good or bad. Myths are indeed very useful for reference, but they can't explain human nature.
Also... keep Jane Foster's experimental equipment and research records.
Dr. Selvig and others are the few friends Thor has made on Earth. Their friendship will change Thor's view of SHIELD."
"Ms. Foster's experimental equipment is just requisitioned, and we will return it to her." Coulson explained far-fetchedly.
"You paid." Aaron said with disdain, "If you don't pay, leave a guarantee to return it on time, and invite them to participate in the research, I can understand this as expropriation.
But you paid, and you said it very nicely at the time, enough to compensate for your losses.
You may think that your approach is fine, but from her point of view, it is called forced buying and selling, and you also insult her life's work with money."
Coulson's face twitched. He didn't expect that they had such a hard-core friend at the time!
Aaron hugged Abe, got off the car with his backpack, and walked straight to Jane Foster's research institute.
Prophecy! Since you can't avoid it, you can only face it bravely.
As long as you don't expose your magic, even if you enter the sight of some people... it's not unacceptable.
Coulson also drove to the temporary experimental base and called Nick Fury at the same time, "Director, I have something to report to you."
"He agreed to stay, right?"
"Yes, because he knew he couldn't leave in a short time." Coulson said embarrassedly, "He wants to increase his salary."
"How much?"
"One hundred times."
"Not expensive." Nick Fury said easily, this number is really just a number to him.
"This is the basic salary. In addition, he also wants SHIELD to reimburse his material losses, so the actual salary may be more than a thousand times."
Nick Fury paused, "Acceptable."
It's just nine digits. If he embezzles less this year's funds for SHIELD, he can save it. It can only be said that poverty limits Gaius's imagination.
Among all official organizations, SHIELD's funds are even much higher than the military, and it deserves to be the world's number one.
If he knew Aaron Gaius's wealth before he came to this world, he might not think so.
"Sir, I have something to add." Coulson said hesitantly, "Gaius guessed that the Asgardians would visit Earth in the near future to look for Thor.
Maybe they would be his friends and would take him back to Asgard, but maybe they would be his enemies and would kill him when he lost his divine power."
"Fuck!" Nick Fury blurted out, "I should have thought of it earlier. Asgard is the realm of the gods, but that doesn't mean there are no disputes in the realm of the gods.
No wonder he ran away. If it were me, I wouldn't want to stay there either.
When the gods fight, the mortals suffer!"
Coulson nodded aggrievedly, so this potentially fatal and tiring job fell on his head.
But fortunately, at least he dragged Aaron Gaius on board.
"Director, what should we do?"
Nick Fury was silent for a few seconds, "Protect him as planned, don't let him die at the hands of the Earthlings, and for the rest... do your best!"
"Yes, Director.
By the way, Gaius said the most direct way to solve the problem is to help Thor regain his power."
"But how to do it?" Nick Fury asked back, "If there is enough time, I don't mind SHIELD studying it carefully and winning the friendship of the heir of Asgard, but now we don't seek merit, but we seek no fault.
Take this opportunity to study the hammer carefully and get as much valuable data as possible.
As for Thor...maintaining a friendly relationship with Dr. Selvig and others can also improve his view of SHIELD."
......
Jane Foster's research institute.
It's called a research institute, but everything with scientific research value has been moved out and turned into a simple residence.
"Is anyone there?" Aaron knocked on the door.
Daisy, who was reading a book, heard the voice and immediately smiled and invited Aaron in.
"Aaron, are you looking for me?"
"No." Aaron looked at the confused Selvig, then moved to Jane Foster who was preparing breakfast, and finally fell on Thor who came with a glass of warm water.
"I'm looking for him."
"Him?" Daisy was stunned for a moment and pouted unhappily.
Thor placed the water cup and a hangover pill in front of Selvig, then looked at Aaron, "Looking for me? What do you want from me?"
"Good thing, helping you regain the power of Thor."
"You... believe that I am Thor?"
"I do."
"No way! This is just a myth." Selvig sneered and soaked the hangover pill in the water cup. Dense bubbles rose from the surface of the pill. "You are still young, and it is understandable that you have fantasies about these stories, but stories are just stories."
"That's not necessarily true." Aaron directly opened his phone and flipped to the base. On the picture of Thor's hammer, "This is the hammer that fell from the sky. I, a consultant of SHIELD, took a picture. I think you haven't seen it yet."
Selvig squinted and leaned over to take a look, "It looks familiar."
"Of course it looks familiar, because this object is 90% similar to the one in the mythology storybook."
"What?"
Selvig suddenly became more energetic, took a sip of the water cup and staggered to his feet, "Daisy, where is the book I got from the library, bring it here."
"I'll go right away." Daisy trotted away from the table.
"What's going on?" Jane came over and asked.
"I still can't believe it, but if this is true, it's too... incredible."
"Book." Daisy put the storybook of Norse mythology on the table, and Selvig immediately turned to the page with the picture of Thor's hammer.
After carefully comparing the pictures in the book with the photos on Aaron's phone, his face became particularly wonderful, "Oh my God!"
"Thor's hammer? Mjolnir?" Daisy murmured in disbelief, and then looked at Thor in astonishment, "Are you really Thor?"
"Of course."
"Then how did you get stunned by my stun gun?" Daisy asked curiously.
"I..." Thor's face twitched, and he said unconfidently, "That's because my power was sealed by my father. I thought I could regain my power by getting my hammer back."
"No wonder you yelled so loudly when you couldn't lift the hammer last night." Jane said thoughtfully, "But why couldn't you lift it?"
"I don't know." Thor shook his head, "Maybe my father was too disappointed with my performance!
This is a punishment for me, and I must accept it."
"Thank you, Gaius, thank you for helping me.
But I think I should follow my father's arrangement and stay on Earth for the rest of my life."
Aaron looked at him in surprise and found that the stupidity revealed in his sad eyes was still so clear.
