Nick Fury and Tony Stark's Joint Operation

Chapter 99 Nick Fury and Tony Stark's Joint Operation

"You want to research superweapons like those recorded in the diary?"

Upon hearing Nick Fury's decision, Tony Stark was slightly taken aback at first, and then he really began to ponder deeply.

When it comes to building superweapons to protect the world, Playboy isn't actually as conservative as Captain America.

After all, he did this in the future, didn't he?

It was just a slip-up that almost wiped out all of humanity.

And this moment.

Knowing that the Destroyer of Asgard could easily destroy a small town, and knowing that the Chitauri would invade New York in the future, forcing the human government to even resort to nuclear weapons, Playboy became increasingly aware of this necessity.

His Destroyer armor is a living example!

So Tony Stark actually approves of researching superweapons to protect the world.

Seeing the Playboy's reaction, Nick Fury couldn't help but nod to himself.

It seems that my choice to seek out Tony Stark was the right one.

This person indeed possesses foresight that surpasses that of ordinary people and transcends the limitations of the masses.

However, when Tony Stark looked up again, he rejected Nick Fury.

"I agree with your suggestion to develop superweapons; humanity does indeed lack the means to deal with interstellar threats."

"But I won't research the Cosmic Cube for you."

"I don't want Project Insight to become a reality."

The playboy shook his head decisively.

Superweapons are important, but even more important is the purity of the power that controls them!

Once a superweapon falls into the hands of an intelligence agency, the nature of the situation changes completely.

That will become a tool for those in high positions of power to fight for authority, rather than a weapon to protect the world!

This is actually why Tony Stark resolutely refused to hand over his armor to the government; the playboy understood human nature far too well.

Not to mention.

S.H.I.E.L.D. itself was so thoroughly infiltrated by Hydra that even the powerful weapon created by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was taken by Hydra.

Under these circumstances, how could Tony Stark still dare to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Wouldn't that mean working for Hydra for nothing?

"The whole Insight Project thing is embarrassing, but Stark, you can't judge me based on things that haven't happened yet."

"In fact, that was the experience of someone from another parallel world with the same name as me, and strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with me."

"You don't actually think that someone like me, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., wouldn't be able to resolve any potential problems after reading the diary, do you?"

Nick Fury explained to Tony Stark with great conviction.

If he really intends to use the Tesseract to research secret weapons, he will definitely exclude all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources!

There is no doubt that everything was done using their own private resources.

Just like how they are now plundering Ivan Vanko's technology.

I still refuse.

"If you want me to study the Cosmic Cube, there's only one possibility: you hand the Cosmic Cube over to me and let me study it independently."

"Your S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot intervene."

Tony Stark made this request to Nick Fury in a very serious manner.

Isn't this tantamount to handing over the Cosmic Cube for nothing?

Are you kidding me!

Nick Fury naturally could not accept such an arrangement.

"Unfortunately, it seems we cannot reach an agreement on this matter for the time being."

Nick Fury shook his head and decided to abandon the idea for the time being.

Since it's not feasible to approach Tony Stark, the only option left is to settle for second best and continue searching for other qualified scientists.

"That's right, it seems so."

The playboy nodded, then after a moment's thought, he thought of something else. "But I think we might be able to reach an agreement on something else."

"Are you starting to consider joining the Avengers?"

Nick Fury couldn't help but glance at Tony Stark with his one eye. Had the playboy finally come to his senses?

"We'll talk about this later."

"Just because another version of me joined this alliance doesn't mean I'll do the same thing."

"What I want to talk about is something else, the Winter Soldier."

Winter Warrior!

Nick Fury's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze sharpened as well.

The diary clearly states that this person is a Hydra super soldier.

Someday in the future, he will be assassinated because of the insight plan!

Although he ultimately failed to kill himself, Nick Fury could not ignore such a thing.

From another perspective...

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Lu Dan would not allow Hydra to control a super soldier assassin.

So that's correct.

After obtaining the relevant information, Lu Dan naturally conducted a secret investigation into the Winter Soldier.

It's just a pity.

The other party was more secretive than Nick Fury had imagined.

Nick Fury has only uncovered some superficial information so far, nothing more.

More specific information, however, could not be found.

Unfortunately, the Winter Soldier spends most of its time frozen, leaving very few traces.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Lu Dan dared not use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources to investigate the Winter Soldier, and could only use his own private resources to conduct a secret investigation.

This makes the efficiency even lower.

"You must have investigated this person; he almost killed you."

"And he also killed my parents, so he is our common enemy, and we all want to find him."

"I think we can have in-depth cooperation in this regard."

Tony Stark continued speaking solemnly to Nick Fury.

This is naturally not a problem for braised eggs.

Playboy's suggestion actually aligns quite well with Nick Fury's wishes.

"So, what have you found out about this Winter Soldier?"

Nick Fury stared intently at Tony Stark with one eye gleaming.

"Jarvis!"

The playboy then gave Jarvis an instruction.

The intelligent AI immediately projected the relevant information in front of Nick Fury.

Nick Fury perked up, stopped wasting words, and began to carefully examine the specific intelligence.

Some of them were things that even he had never found before, and they were very useful to him.

It has to be said, Tony Stark is truly something else.

"And what about you?"

"Is there anything I don't know?"

Tony Stark's voice rang in his ears, and he couldn't help but ask.

"You underestimate me, Stark?"

Nick Fury couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If you can find out something, why can't I, a brat, do the same?

That's right, you, Tony, possess technology far beyond this era.

Jarvis's awesomeness was such that even Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., couldn't help but applaud him.

Braised eggs also have their own advantages!

An advantage that Jarvis can only dream of!

Ultimately, Jarvis can only showcase his talents online.

It can uncover things that are deeply hidden on the internet, things that even S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot find.

But what about the traces outside the internet?

Jarvis could only look up to him in comparison.

On the contrary, in this respect, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is an expert among experts.

The vast resources and experience accumulated by a top intelligence officer throughout his career are no joke.

"I do have some things that I believe you would find very interesting."

"Of course, I also believe it will be of great help to you as well."

"I'll have Natasha bring you the details later."

After a moment's thought, Nick Fury made a perfectly logical decision: "Perfect timing. Natasha is your assistant, isn't she? Let her stay here and work with you on the investigation of the Winter Soldier."

"From now on, she will act as the liaison between you and me."

Tony Stark couldn't help but give the braised egg beside him a strange look: "I was actually thinking of firing her, you didn't plan all this, did you?"

Playboy wasn't lying.

The reason they kept Black Widow around before was simply to use her as a spy for S.H.I.E.L.D.

But now that he and Nick Fury have already settled their accounts, Tony Stark naturally won't keep a spy around anymore.

Tony Stark had already decided that he would fire Black Widow as soon as Bratt left.

Although the Black Widow was indeed very beautiful and had a really hot figure, the playboy still found her quite pleasing to the eye.

But the thought that such a beautiful woman was actually a spy made Tony Stark feel extremely uncomfortable.

But as expected, plans can change faster than expected.

Well, he really did keep Black Widow by his side for the time being.

that's it.

The two sides reached an agreement to cooperate in investigating the Winter Soldier, and so on, quite happily.

"Stark, if you've thought it through, you can tell me anytime."

After discussing the important matters, Nick Fury didn't waste any more time with Tony Stark.

After saying hello to the Playboy, I left his mansion.

"Sir, where are we going next?"

Back in his car, Agent Hill quickly started the engine while asking Lu Dan for his opinion.

"Let's go check on the captain."

After a moment's thought, Nick Fredo gave Agent Hill this answer.

Chu Chu Chu!

Agent Hill didn't ask anything he shouldn't have, and cleanly started the car, taking Nick Fury to the base where Captain America was being housed.

After making his presence known to Captain America and subtly hinting at Captain America's attitude, Lu Dan left.

no way.

Although Lu Dan couldn't wait to get Captain America into the Avengers, Captain America's condition really wasn't great.

Nick Fury understands the principle that haste makes waste.

It seems he'll have to visit Captain America's place more often in the future.

After leaving Captain America, Lu Dan reappeared in front of Zhou Cheng.

"Mr. Satan, I've come here to see if there's any way to change your mind."

When facing Zhou Cheng, Nick Fury was much more direct, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he immediately stated his purpose.

Zhou Cheng shrugged helplessly: "If that's the case, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't changed my mind."

"And I don't think I'll change my mind in the future."

"So, if it's still about the Avengers, let's not waste our time on it anymore."

Zhou Cheng's refusal was expressed with great firmness.

Nick Fury wasn't too surprised by this, nor did he make any demands.

"Understood."

Lu Dan nodded, then stared intently at Zhou Cheng with his single eye. "So, Mr. Satan, what if S.H.I.E.L.D. hired you to handle some... rather special and difficult matters?"

Although Nick Fury phrased it rather tactfully, he believed that Satan, as the owner of the diary, must understand what he really meant.

"If that's the case, then it depends on two important factors."

Zhou Cheng solemnly held up two fingers. "First, is your price reasonable? Second, am I happy?"

As a mercenary, it's only natural to consider the price, but to also consider your mood is a bit too capricious.

Nick Fury couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Mr. Satan, I have a feeling this won't be our last meeting."

After uttering this pretentious remark to Zhou Cheng, Lu Dan left once again.

"Sir, everything has been arranged in New Mexico."

It must be said that Coulson is quite reliable. Not long after Nick Fury returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, he received a report from Coulson.

And almost at the same time.

Pierce, who was in his top-floor office in the Tri-Wing building, received the same report.

"Did Nick send people to infiltrate New Mexico?"

"Because a hammer might fall from the sky from there?"

Alexander Pierce, upon receiving the news, was extremely curious about this intelligence.

He didn't know where Nick Fury got the information that made him take it so seriously; it seemed that the hammer that fell from the sky must be something good!

As the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and now the head of Hydra, Pierce has naturally come into contact with many extraordinary items.

He was quite interested in this hammer that would one day fall from the sky.

If possible, Pierce would naturally intend to put this thing into Hydra's possession.

However, this matter is still in its early stages and there is no need to rush into it.

Pierce only needed to leave the Hydra agent in New Mexico for the time being to keep track of the situation.

There's no need to do anything unnecessary, lest Nick Fury, that already suspicious guy, notice something.

No, Nick Fury must have already figured something out!

Pierce's expression began to turn serious.

After the other side captured Ivan Vanko, their subsequent actions completely isolated Hydra from them!
