It's not good to swear, Vibranium Shield!
Chapter 20 It's not good to swear, Vibranium Shield!
Logan never expected to run into S.H.I.E.L.D. here.
He had anticipated being discovered by patrolling guards, confronting other people who coveted the goods, and even being completely surrounded by the owners of the goods, the Juarez family. But he never imagined that it would cause such a stir within S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Logan then realized that the goods inside could not possibly be smuggled porcelain or antiques; S.H.I.E.L.D. would not be interested in such things!
What should we do now?
"They're about to open the container."
Josh suddenly spoke up to remind him.
Below, a S.H.I.E.L.D. task force is picking locks.
Logan knew that the goods had been taken by S.H.I.E.L.D., so this trip had been for nothing!
He didn't want to give up the $20,000 reward; as long as the money was in his account, he could leave with the professor.
Now, not only does the Lawrence family know his identity in Santa Fe City, but Donald and his gang are also eyeing him covetously. The longer he stays in Santa Fe City, the higher the danger level will obviously be!
He doesn't have time to delay any longer.
This time, the SHIELD task force was led by Black Widow, whose combat power is not considered very strong among the Avengers, so Logan is not without a chance.
After a moment's thought, Logan turned back to Josh and the others, saying, "You three, split up and lure some people away. I'll intercept the goods when I have the chance!"
The three of them were immediately startled.
There were quite a few people below, and they were all fully armed; they looked like formidable opponents.
Logan whispered again, "Don't hesitate, I don't want this trip to be in vain!"
The three looked at each other, and seeing that the container was about to be opened, they had no choice but to grit their teeth, stand up, and jump out of the container.
"Hey, what are you doing! Damaging private property is a serious crime!"
Samuel yelled at the agents.
Conrad, standing nearby, decisively drew his pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation, shooting an agent through the chest, the body falling to the ground.
"Fuck, are you crazy?!"
Samuel stared dumbfounded at Conrad's smoking pistol.
He had heard of S.H.I.E.L.D.; it was an intelligence organization that acted swiftly and decisively, even recklessly, because no matter how big the problem, they could easily resolve it.
Angry S.H.I.E.L.D. will never end well!
Before Samuel could even accuse them, all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were already looking at them, and several black gun barrels were instantly pointed at them.
Samuel felt a chill run down his spine and turned to run away.
At the same time, flames shot from the muzzles of the agents' guns, bullets cut through the silencers, and grazed almost the backs of Samuel and Conrad.
"It seems we're not the only ones eyeing this shipment!"
Rumlow put down his pistol. "I'll take care of them."
After saying that, he ran quickly toward Samuel and his companion.
boom!
At that moment, Josh also appeared on the other side. However, he did not shout or yell. Instead, he hid behind a shipping container, pretending to be trying to launch a sneak attack but accidentally bumping into the container and making a sound.
Upon noticing Natasha and the others looking at him, Josh didn't hesitate and turned to run.
Seeing this, Natasha frowned and ordered the guards around her, "I'll take care of that one. The rest of you stay here and keep watch. You inform Captain Rogers."
After saying that, she quickly ran towards Josh's direction.
At this point, only five guards remained standing at the container.
Without hesitation, Logan jumped off the container, his fists clenched, and slammed them down hard on the back of the necks of the two guards directly below.
The immense force instantly stunned the two guards, sending them crashing to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the other three guards' expressions changed drastically, and they instantly raised their guns to aim at Logan.
Before they could fire, Logan quickly drew his pre-prepared pistol and fired at the arms of the three guards holding their guns.
Bang bang bang! !
The silenced pistols didn't make much noise, and the precise marksmanship instantly pierced the arms of the three guards.
The sudden stinging pain caused them to drop their pistols.
Without hesitation, Logan darted forward and, before they could react, slammed his palm into the necks of the two guards, instantly knocking them unconscious.
The last guard was terrified and was about to bend down to pick up the pistol with his other hand, but Logan didn't give him the chance. He swept out with a roundhouse kick, which slammed heavily into the guard's chest. The immense force instantly knocked the guard unconscious.
He did not kill the guards.
Intercepting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s goods and killing S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are two different things. The former might not cause any problems if you just hide, but the latter would mean facing a complete manhunt by S.H.I.E.L.D.
He doesn't want to have a major conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D. right now.
"call……"
As the three men fell, Logan breathed a long sigh of relief, holstered his pistol on his back, and extended his steel claws to sever the lock on the shipping container.
The large red shipping container was stacked with several boxes of goods.
Logan took out a flashlight, covered the bulb with his hand, and then turned it on. The dim light shone through his hand onto the goods.
After searching around, they found no goods marked BU-26 or BU-27.
The codes on these cargo boxes don't even start with BU.
After making sure he hadn't missed anything, Logan frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
Damn!
Chris's intelligence is flawed!
Logan cursed under his breath, put away the flashlight, and turned to leave.
"As expected, it was a diversionary tactic, a clumsy little trick."
Behind him, a cold female voice came, followed by the icy muzzle of a gun aimed at the back of Logan's head.
"Tell me, who sent you!"
Natasha stared at Logan and questioned him sharply, her finger on the trigger. She would not hesitate to shoot if Logan made the slightest move.
Logan stood silently in place, offering no response.
Just as Natasha was about to press for answers...
Whoosh!
Logan suddenly bent over and tilted his head, instantly removing it from the gun barrel. At the same time, he swiftly raised his leg and swept it backward, striking Natasha's soft abdomen.
With a powerful kick, Natasha was sent flying, her slender body crashing heavily onto the shipping container behind her.
"hiss!"
The intense abdominal pain made Natasha gasp. What surprised her even more was that this person was no less strong or quicker than a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent!
Ordinary people don't have this kind of ability!
However, Natasha, who possesses extremely strong combat skills, did not drop her pistol despite the heavy blow.
Even after being swept away, she still gripped the pistol's handle tightly and raised it again without hesitation, aiming it at Logan inside the container.
This time she didn't hesitate; she tightened her finger and was about to pull the trigger.
boom!
No shot was fired. Logan kicked the pistol away, his eyes fixed on Natasha. "Don't move!"
Natasha tilted her head back, her gaze fixed on Logan. "Going against S.H.I.E.L.D. usually doesn't end well!"
As she spoke, she tried to get a good look at Logan's face.
However, since there were no lights here, and the only illumination came from the moon, which was 380,000 kilometers away, she couldn't see Logan's face clearly. She could only vaguely recognize that he was an elderly man, at least sixty or seventy years old.
Is he wearing makeup or does he really look that old?
Is it really possible to have such explosive power at sixty or seventy years old?
For a moment, Natasha was somewhat lost in thought.
As a top agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., her physical resilience is far superior to that of ordinary people; a full-force attack from an ordinary person simply cannot render her incapacitated.
But the kick from that person just now made it impossible for her to stand up; the pain in her stomach felt like her entire stomach was about to explode.
"What about the things inside?"
Logan pointed to the open door of the shipping container behind him.
Natasha was taken aback, realizing there was nothing inside, then scoffed, "You're asking me? We didn't even have time to open the lock!"
Logan understood that Natasha was not lying; they had clearly received incorrect information as well.
"Damn it!"
Logan cursed. Either the Juarez family deliberately released false information about container number 79, or they knew this thing was important and changed the location of the goods at the last minute!
It seems this shipment is definitely extraordinary, not only because the Juarez family values it so highly, but also because S.H.I.E.L.D. has gotten involved.
This order isn't worth 20,000 yuan!
As Logan pondered, Natasha quietly reached for the dagger at her waist, her eyes gradually flashing with a fierce light as she watched Logan.
However, her subtle movement did not escape Logan's notice, and he kicked out suddenly, slamming his foot heavily into Natasha's neck.
The immense force instantly caused Natasha's eyes to roll back and she to faint completely.
Logan glanced around, then strode away without hesitation. Just then, Samuel's voice came through the communication device in his ear.
"James, are you done on your end? We've gotten away, and those guys chasing us are on their way back!"
Logan replied in a deep voice, "I'm evacuating."
There's no point in continuing the search if we can't find anything. Besides, S.H.I.E.L.D. might send reinforcements at any time, and if they target us, we'll be trapped forever.
Just then, Samuel's somewhat flustered voice came again, "That's good. See you in the car. We need to get out of here quickly. Conrad killed someone from S.H.I.E.L.D., they definitely won't let this go. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Upon hearing this, Logan's expression changed drastically.
"idiot!"
He couldn't help but curse. Killing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent had really gotten him into big trouble!
However, just as he finished speaking, a clear and crisp voice suddenly rang out in front of him.
"Sir, it's not good to swear."
A tall and imposing figure appeared. He had a distinctive white American face, and his white and blue bodysuit accentuated his muscular physique. His blond hair and blue eyes were enough to make any young girl's heart flutter. His brows exuded an air of righteousness, and he carried a vibranium shield with the American symbol on it.
