Chapter 10: Fire Fury
Nick Fury's office is located on the top floor of S.H.I.E.L.D., and this office is spacious and has a great view of the entire downtown area of New York City in the distance.
At the moment, he is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the New York City skyline.
High-rise woodland, buildings seem to have no edge in sight, this is a cosmopolitan city, the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world. More than 8.7 million people live in cities, and 20 million people live in the metropolitan area.
New Yorkers are proud of their city, and among them are dreamers from all over the world who are eager to find their place in this miraculous metropolis of civilization.
The city is likewise where Nick Fury was born, his hometown, his homeland.
Every time Nick Fury looks down on this busy city, an inexplicable sense of mission rises in his heart, even though he is actually an old man, and the anti-aging medicine keeps his body in a middle-aged state.
Many people are not aging physically, but their hearts are tired, and they are no longer full of passion.
But Nick Fury is different, his warrior heart never gets old.
Veterans don't die, they just wither.
Standing in front of the window every day to look at the city and the people he guards, Nick Fury's heart seems to be infused with a burst of anti-aging medicine, and his passion will immediately burst out, making him full of fighting spirit to meet new challenges.
Director Fury has been restless lately, and he has a faint feeling of a dark current surging in the bureau, a sign that has already appeared a few days ago.
A friend on Capitol Hill vaguely reminded him that something was going to happen and that he should be mentally prepared.
These days, he always feels that his S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues look at him strangely, and the high-ranking members of the World Security Council also flicker at him.
His cronies, Agent Coulson, have not been seen for the past two days, and they have not been contacted. The Intelligence Service said Coulson had been ordered by his former director, Alexander Pearce, to carry out a secret mission that would require communications control.
Director Fury wondered why he, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had no idea about this secret mission.
Although bad omens are frequent and ominous premonitions are pressed in his heart, Nick Fury can't scruple about it during this time, he is planning a big plan.
Avengers!
He intends to assemble a group of extraordinary people to form a team to deal with the deteriorating world security situation and fight those supercriminals and other threats.
Now he has drawn up a preliminary candidate, and within S.H.I.E.L.D., three people have been selected.
Agent Natasha Romanoff, codenamed Black Widow.
Agent Clinton-Barton, codenamed Hawkeye.
Agent Sam Wilson, codenamed Falcon.
They are all well-trained, experienced fighters, loyal and reliable.
But these three people alone are not enough, they are not enough to fight criminals with superpowers and super technology.
Nick Fury also wants to find some people with special powers to join, but he doesn't have a clue yet, so during this time, he is very worried about the Avengers candidates, and his mind is so focused that he ignores a lot of things.
The two big news that happened recently, the mutant leader Professor X and Magneto both died, Nick Fury also paid attention to it, and felt a lot more relaxed, the mutant problem is a very complex historical issue, very difficult to deal with, and Nick Fury, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., does not dare to easily stir into this troubled water.
The death of these two alpha-class mutant leaders can make the mutants stop for a while, and the pressure of S.H.I.E.L.D. work can be relieved, which is good news for Nick.
Just as he was about to finish the day's recharge, there was a knock on the office door, and Nick Fury turned around to see Alexander Pierce pushing the door open.
Pierce walked into the office with a young Chinese man, followed by three beautiful girls the age of high school students.
"Good morning, Alexander."
Nick politely greeted his old partner, ignoring the four young men who looked to be about the same age as his children.
He glanced at the male and female students and asked, "Alexander, is S.H.I.E.L.D. also conducting student visits now?" Don't bring it to my office next time, you know the level of secrecy on this floor......"
Alexander of S.H.I.E.L.D. high-ranking smirked awkwardly and interrupted him: "Nick, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Luo Feng from Huaxia, who was sent by the World Security Council to take over your position and become the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D. director. ”
"Chinese students can't ...... either"
Halfway through his words, Nick Fury sensed that something was wrong and his eyes widened: "Alexander, what did you say?" ”
Without waiting for Alexander to explain, Luo Feng walked over and stretched out his hand to Nick Fury.
"Former Director Fury, fortunately."
He grabbed Nick Fury's hand, shook it, and continued, "I'm Luo Feng, the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau. ”
"Walter Defack!"
Nick Fury couldn't hold back for a while, and burst into a foul mouth, he shook off Luo Feng's hand and yelled at Alexander: "It's not April Fool's Day today, don't make such a hellish joke!" ”
Alexander sighed, spread his hands and said, "Nick, we don't know how to explain it to you, so this matter has been delayed until now...... The members of the World Security Council are online, you turn on the video conferencing system. ”
Nick stared at him for a moment, then turned to his desk to get the remote control and press the button.
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the office lowered the visors, and several large screens showed the members of the Security Council.
"What the hell is going on?"
Nick Fury asked, holding back his anger.
"Mr. Fury, this is a decision made by the World Security Council after the vote, and I ask for your understanding and acceptance."
The first to speak was the representative of Asia, a lady from China.
"Who is that person named Luo Feng, and why did he take over as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Nick couldn't accept it at all, and asked: "This is irresponsible for national security and even world security, and this kind of resolution is so likely to be voted on?" ”
"Nick, I know you're frustrated, but please keep your emotions under control."
The representative of North America, a middle-aged white director, reluctantly said to him: "This Mr. Luo Feng is not as young as he seems on the surface, and you are also a person who has used anti-aging drugs, so you should be able to understand." His experience and qualifications are sufficient to serve as the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. director. ”
Ms. Hua Xia explained with pride: "Comrade Luo Feng is an excellent commander who grew up during the war years, and has performed well in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, the Korean War, the War of Self-Defense and Counterattack, and the Battle of Recovering Treasure Island, and is a time-tested veteran. The central government originally appointed him to serve as the director of the Shenspear Bureau in preparation for our country and set up a special force of 'Fengshen', but in order to support the national security construction of our allies, we can only endure the pain. ”
Nick Fury was stunned when he heard this, he also had a certain understanding of the history of modern warfare in China, and then he realized that this seemingly young person was actually the same age as him.
The representative of North America went on to explain: "The appointment of him as head of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a regional defense cooperation project between the two countries in the context of globalization. ”
The Asian representative concluded: "I regret to inform you, Mr. Fury, that you have been fired. ”
Luo Feng wasted no time in leaning over and patting him on the shoulder to make a reassuring gesture: "Don't be too sad, I just came to work in the United States, I don't know much about the situation, I need an assistant director, are you interested?" ”
Nick Fury was stunned on the spot.
