Chapter 102: A Few Things About S.H.I.E.L.D. (Second Update)
"This... Director..."
Hill was ashamed and stammered.
"You look like this and I know you've got nothing again, right?"
Fury snorted coldly.
"I'm usually too lenient with you. Kaito Kidd has been more active recently, which means we have more information to judge his movements."
"But you haven't figured out his identity yet! Not even his possible hiding place?"
Hill closed her eyes and accepted another wave of Fury's saliva baptism. Since SHIELD listed Kaito Kidd as a level 7 file, Hill has been scolded by Fury.
Although she didn't say it, Hill had only one thought in her heart at this time, that is, after finding out who Kaito Kidd is, she must beat up this bastard who has repeatedly scolded her.
And Nick Fury...
Well, he is the director now, and she is just a deputy, and there is a secretary general of SHIELD above Hill.
No matter how bad Fury's scolding is, Hill can only listen obediently.
But it doesn't matter, because both the current director Fury and the secretary general Pierce have lived for more than half a century. Even if they have used anti-aging drugs, their remaining life span will not be too long.
Hill is still very young now. Sooner or later, she will become the director. When that time comes, it will be her turn to sit comfortably in a chair and scold others...
By then, she will also wear a thick black windbreaker in the summer, and sit in the office with air conditioning...
The thoughts in her mind drifted farther and farther. Although Hill's expression was always heavy, she didn't hear a word of Fury's scolding.
It turns out that whether it is an ordinary person or an elite agent, there will not be much difference in the reaction to being scolded.
If there is a big difference, it should be that ordinary people have not undergone micro-expression training, and it will be easy to be seen when they are distracted, which will lead to more serious consequences...
"I am very disappointed in you, Hill."
I don't know how long it took, Fury finally sprayed enough saliva, maybe he was so thirsty that he couldn't secrete saliva.
Fury picked up the coffee on the table without leaving any trace and took a sip.
"I'm sorry, sir."
At this time, Hill came back to his senses in an instant and said to Fury with a sad face.
Seeing one of his most valued subordinates repent so sincerely and without any impatience on his face, Fury felt relieved.
Thinking back to the past, when he worked under Pierce, he was often scolded like this, but Fury himself did not have such a good temper. Every time Pierce scolded him, he showed extreme impatience.
Talking back to the boss?
It can't be said that it happens often, but it can only be said that there are a few times every year.
There were a few times when Pierce even deducted his salary for half a year, which made him almost unable to afford to eat. God knows how painful that was, so that he has not recovered even now as the director.
I wonder how much of the budget approved by the World Security Council every year goes into Fury's own pocket...
According to Fury's style back then, when Pierce stepped down as director and became secretary general, he actually made him his successor, which was really incredible.
Anyway, if Fury were to say it, he would never let a guy who would contradict him inherit his position.
"If Kaito Kidd can't find it, then what about the superpower who rescued him in the end?"
"...That person used his ability in the public eye for the first time. Before that, I had never heard of anyone being able to control plants."
Hill said after two seconds of silence.
"Preliminary judgment, we only know that this superpower person is suspected to be a woman, who may be Kidd's lover or assistant."
"After sampling and studying the tree roots, our botanists found that these tree roots are not old, and theoretically it is impossible for them to grow so thick."
"So, in addition to being able to control plants, she may also have the ability to quickly promote the growth of plants, and we cannot judge whether she can only control trees or all plants."
Fury pondered for a moment and said: "If we cannot accurately judge the situation, we should deal with it according to the worst-case scenario. If this helper of Kaito Kidd can control all kinds of plants and quickly promote the growth of these plants..."
Fury's mind has automatically generated a scene: in the city, towering trees rise from the ground, and flowers, plants and thorns grow wantonly, covering every corner.
Pedestrians on the street are pierced by rapidly growing branches, and tall buildings are penetrated by giant trees.
The city turned into ruins, humans turned into nutrients, and the earth became a paradise for plants!
"No, this person is too dangerous, he must be strictly controlled!"
Fury was frightened by his own imagination and broke into a cold sweat.
"Not only the threats on Earth, but also Thor who appeared in New Mexico last time. Humans have never been alone in the universe, and these threats are imminent!"
"The research on the Cosmic Cube must be accelerated. Maybe we should urge Dr. Shavig to leave as soon as possible, but before that..."
Fury stopped thinking and turned to Hill.
"Hill, since we can't track Kaito Kidd's movements from the surveillance records, just contact him directly!"
After a pause, Fury shook his head again and said, "No, Kaito Kidd is different from the superpowers we knew before. Simple contact is doomed to be ineffective. Just catch him back!"
"Romanov is still lurking around Stark and cannot be exposed for the time being. Call Coulson and Barton back and ask them to bring ten agents above level five to the Stark Expo in two days to lurk and meet Kaito Kidd properly."
"But there are too many citizens at the Expo, and the purpose of SHIELD has always been to hide from people's sight..."
Hill hesitated.
"Don't worry, Hill, Barton and Coulson will handle it."
Fury is full of confidence.
"Yes, sir."
On the other side, New York University has been in a state of boiling.
As we all know, young people often have no resistance to various eye-catching hot current events.
News like Tony's challenge to Kaito Kidd will obviously be popular on the entire campus at the first time.
There is almost no student who does not talk about the topic of Iron Man vs. Kaito Kidd, no matter which professor's class it is the same.
To the extent that in the middle of today's class, countless professors went on strike and New York University was forced to suspend classes for three days and resume classes after the storm has completely subsided.
The same situation is happening in major schools in New York, especially in famous schools.
After all, not so good schools often don't have too many outstanding students, and they can use grades to restrain students, but in famous universities...
Students who can refute professors are everywhere, so what's the big deal if they miss a few days of classes?
