Li Jie never imagined that one day he would meet Nick Fury, the famous king of agents in the Marvel universe and the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the one-eyed dragon.

In the apartment hotel owned by Greenland Group on Long Island, a well-decorated luxury suite of nearly 200 square meters. Expensive, hand-woven, bohemian carpets are unobtrusively laid on the floor, humble as a synthetic carpet.

The laminate flooring made of maple and ash is shiny with floor wax, which makes people wonder if there is any friction and grip when this thing walks on it.

Handmade oak furniture is the backbone of this suite. As for the crystal lamps in the ceiling and the 75-inch 4K LCD TV, these modern appliances are not worth mentioning at all.

The most eye-catching thing in this suite is not these high-end atmosphere, and low-key luxury and connotation of decoration. Rather, there is a very large bar in the suite. (In terms of the large area of a family bar, it is not compared to a business bar.)

The four-metre-high room is furnished with a sky-high wine cabinet. Occupying the size of an entire wall, the teak compartments are densely packed and look like a beehive.

The whole room is filled with a special fragrance that is refreshing and intoxicating. Li Jie guessed that half of the flavor should come from the fragrance of the teak itself. Another smell that mixes fruity and sweet is probably the taste of those wines. Decanting in this room for a long time (note: it is not a person who is drunk and then sobers up, but let the wine "wake up"), drinking, and the fragrance diffused by those good wines has left a special taste here.

A wall of liquor is lined with a wide variety of fine wines, brandies, whiskeys, rums, tequilas, gins and vodkas. In the corner there are also some dry reds, dry whites and sparkling champagnes.

He saw all kinds of wine that Li Jie had never heard of here. It's a museum of Western liquor. And under the only open window in this bar (Li Jie thinks it is more appropriate to call it a wine cellar), two men are smoking cigars that Li Jie does not understand at all.

One is his old acquaintance, Frank the Punisher, while the other is a black man with an eyepatch in one eye. The only eye he had left was sharp.

He leaned back in his leather chair, took a deep breath of his cigar, and said, "Nightkin really didn't expect us to meet in this way, please take a seat." ”

Li Jie nodded and sat down in Nick's seat: "I didn't expect us to meet in this way, Director Nick Fury." ”

Frank didn't seem interested in the conversation, he seemed to be simply enjoying a cigar and a gin in his glass. He also had an ice bucket at his hand, and the ice cubes that had been frozen many times showed a crystal clear luster, indicating that the ice cubes did not contain any other impurities and gases.

Nick took a drag on his cigar, "Actually, I didn't intend to meet you like that, especially now [I should be in jail]. My existence should not be known to outsiders. ”

As he spoke, Nick glanced at Frank, but Frank didn't match him at all. The Punisher silently poured half a glass of gin into his glass, then threw two ice cubes down, and took the last sip.

Li Jie smiled: "Actually, it is, Director Nick. You can't blame Frank for this, in fact your information was revealed by a complete accident. I know these things are just accidents. Maybe it was fate that we were going to meet in some way. ”

The corners of Nick's mouth twitched, "But this is no longer in my plan. ”

Li Jie shook his head, the two old smoking guns swallowed the clouds and smoked the fog so that the air around them was not very good, although the air windows were open to ventilate.

"It's impossible to have everything under your control. Like the original operation of our Night's Watch, hunting vampires and protecting the convoy carrying vampire Bibles. Didn't this plan also fail? Because of all kinds of accidents. "It's been a long time since Li Jie mentioned this incident, and it's the first time that the Night's Watch has dealt with S.H.I.E.L.D. from the side.

Nick raised an eyebrow: "If you say so, it is. Nothing is smooth sailing, and everything has to be prepared with both hands. ”

The two did not have a deep conversation about the previous issues, but quickly changed the topic. Because Li Jie came to ask Nick for a favor this time.

So Li Jie nodded and said, "Yes, double insurance is important for many things. Just like Director Fury, you did the Thunder Agent plan, I still agree. ”

Nick didn't say anything about Li Jie's compliment, he just put down the cigar and said, "Tell me, what you really mean." The purpose of your coming out of me, Frank said that you have an important matter, which is related to the split between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Heavenly Sword Bureau?"

Nick Fury's eyes are sharp, he didn't come to make small talk with Li Jie. In fact, he was somewhat skeptical about such a meeting, which is normal. As the king of agents, if Nick Fury can trust someone because of a few words, then consider his professionalism as an agent.

Li Jie waved his hand: "Okay, in fact, this matter is very complicated to say, but it is actually very simple............

Lee Kit told him exactly what he had to say about Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, especially about his killing of the Howards Starks. Little Bucky is involved in two big shots, Tony and Rodgers, which has to be cautious.

Hearing what Li Jie said, Nick had to stand up cautiously, and he walked slowly around the room: "If what you say is the truth, then this matter will have a great impact." ”

"If the Winter Soldier reappears, or even says that someone with a heart releases news about him and reveals it to Tony or Rogers, it will cause the two to split up!" Thinking of the worst outcome, even an old Jianghu like Nick Fury couldn't help but shudder.

Rogers now has too much power, and Tony has too many resources. If they do turn around, it will be a big deal for the whole world.

"You're right, it's a big deal, and you need to plan ahead!" Nick had already figured out how to figure it out, "We need to find the Winter Soldier before anyone else finds him, and control him." Even kill him if necessary!"

Nick glanced at Frank, who was drinking: "Frank I need your help, you're going to help me find this guy, I'm going to make sure he doesn't make a mess of things." And you Nightcrawler, now that you know the news, I want you to keep your mouth shut. I'll take care of the rest, you know?"

Nick seemed to be the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. at this time, and he was giving orders step by step, and there was a kind of urgency in his tone.

But compared to Nick, who was in a state of urgency, the two people in front of him: Nightkin and Punishment didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

The Nightkin was sitting in a leather chair playing with his nails, while the Punisher was still drinking his own wine in the presence of the Old God.

Nick looked at the two of them with a look of disgust: "Are you just indifferent? We're facing a big crisis right now. I thought you were looking for me as a nightkin trying to solve a problem. ”

Li Jie spread his hands: "I really want to solve the problem." ”

Nick didn't like Nightkin a little bit of a foolish attitude: "Then let's take action! You can't expect to rely on someone else for everything, aren't you good friends with Iron Man?!"

Frank waved his hand to the side and smiled, "Nick Fury, you've been fooled." ”

"What?" Nick was a little puzzled.

"Actually, I believe the Nightkin took care of a lot of things before they came to you. He is not in a hurry and naturally has his reasons, and I know him better than you. Frank smiled at Nick. There was something about his smile that Nick didn't quite understand.

At this time, Li Jie also spoke: "Director Nick is very happy that you can understand the overall situation so well, even if you lose the position of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for some reason, but you are still thinking about the world and know what should not happen." And willing to deal with the follow-up of some things. ”

This is what Nick himself said just now, Nick said that he would plan and plan for the Winter Soldier, and Li Jie just repeated it.

Nick heard a hint of pleasure in the Nightkkin's words. Nightkin continued, "Actually, I probably didn't make it clear just now, Director Nick. I've actually caught the Winter Soldier. ”

Nick: "What?!"

Li Jie continued: "And I also told Tony and Captain Rodgers about it. ”

Nick: "What?!!"

Li Jie: "They had an argument at first, but in the end I settled it. It's just a bit of a disagreement about how to deal with Bucky Barnes, so I thought of you, Director Nick. ”

Nick: "What?!!! wait! Wait! You just said you settled everything and just had a disagreement on Bucky-Barnes?" Nick seemed to guess something.

Li Jie nodded: "Yes, that's it." Originally, I was a little worried, but just now, Director Nick, you also said that we shouldn't let these bad things happen, right? So I'd like to ask, is there a shortage of people on your Thunder Agent Team?"

"Sergeant Bucky Barnes is always available to report from your ranks. Li Jie said with a brisk smile in his tone.

Nick Fury: ..............................

Li Jie felt that Director Nick's face had darkened a lot, but he guessed that it must be his own delusion, because as a black director, how could he continue to turn black?
