Chapter 960
In short, Maria Hill and Tony Stark are now reviewing the past of the umbrella in a completely unreasonable way, and it is very mellow.
Forcibly helped Evenson complete the origin of the umbrella and various settings, and also planned the future development direction by the way, which really didn't take Evenson's feelings into account at all. Hey, can you slow down, if I can't cooperate in the future, how embarrassing it will be!
However, the umbrella thing is just a small episode, although this episode is a bit deep now, but Tony quickly turned the conversation back to the main topic about the continuation of the Avengers.
It's just that on this issue, some people actively agree and agree, and some people acquiesce without knowing whether they can or not. But when it was Evenson's turn, he said that he would come to help if he was in trouble, but if he officially joined the gang, it was obvious that he couldn't be more obvious than to shirk!
Originally, the Avengers were conceived by Nick Fury, and the well-known first confirmed candidate should be Iron Man Tony Stark, and then Evenson.
It's easy to overlook, but it's true. The reason for this was that there weren't really many people for Nick to choose from at the time. Captain America didn't catch the old popsicle that was still a deep sea corpse at the time, Peggy Carter was also making steady progress towards Alzheimer's, Hulk had been fighting with Ross, and his reputation was not very good, plus Nick Fury was not completely sure that he could control him, and Thor had not yet come to Earth.
Black Widow and Hawkeye are on standby, but in the end, they still haven't surpassed the concept of ordinary humans, and their combat effectiveness is worrying. So finally had a person who could understand the overall situation and maintain a close relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., and could recognize his own position, Nick Fury had no choice but to pinch his nose and force himself on the horse.
If you have shortcomings, help him correct them, and if he is a little immature in character, then cultivate it slowly, anyway, he will deal with him more, let him have more contact with S.H.I.E.L.D., and slowly let the will of S.H.I.E.L.D. affect him. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and through more contact, he will raise his ideological consciousness, this is definitely a certain thing, and we can't let the overall discipline of S.H.I.E.L.D. be pulled down by him alone!
So in any case, Evenson is the second qualified person in the Avengers, which is a sure thing. However, when this group was in crisis, he, the veteran of the group, not only did not actively try to help the group tide over the difficulties, but had to retreat, which had to be strange.
And when Tony thought about it, he found that Evenson had no reason to quit, so he felt that this slut was hypocritical again, so he didn't talk nonsense and directly activated his money ability, "Continuing to be an Avenger is not going to be a volunteer, I must be paid, and I dare not say more, the salary of working here is definitely higher than that of S.H.I.E.L.D." ”
"It's not money... How much do you give... I don't agree with how much money you give!" If you want to say that this sugar-coated cannonball of capitalism is powerful, Tony's money ability is really strong, Evenson almost went crazy with a heart curse and failed to control his state of mind, and at the last moment he did not succumb to all evil money.
"Double pay at the end of the year, paid leave, dental insurance, full attendance bonus!" Tony's eyes narrowed, and he recited the mantra to further improve his money ability.
Evenson's heart was full of cold sweat, and he even hallucinated in front of him, only to see that now Tony Stark's figure suddenly became very tall, and his hands conjured up a pile of banknotes, and kept smashing them on himself, do you want it? Do you want this all-powerful artifact? Then give in, as long as you give in, these are all yours!
"Okay, don't say it anymore!" Evenson took two sharp breaths, and finally struggled his soul out of this evil money hell, "I don't agree with it, if you send me rice, flour, grain and oil, this kind of god-level treatment, I won't agree either!"
Tony was stunned, he didn't expect that he would still fail under the bonus of this attribute restraint, but he also realized that Evenson really didn't want to join the gang.
"I'm not like you. Evenson wiped the beads of sweat on his face, calmed down and said, "I've never been a hero, and I've never wanted to be a hero, I have a relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., and now that my fate is over, why do you want to force it?"
Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced, and Tony respects his choice when he sees Evenson's resolute attitude. Having said that, there is a bit of an unhappy parting, although Tony arranged a pool party next, but Evenson did such a disappointing thing, then he should say goodbye now, but people can be thick-skinned!
However, Peggy Carter, an old spy, will always see things more deeply than Tony Stark, and she always reminds S.H.I.E.L.D. in her last sentence, as if he will be the Avenger of S.H.I.E.L.D., but not Tony Stark's Avenger.
"Do you think the Avengers have a bad future?" As half a day passed by the pool, Peggy Carter approached Evenson.
"Why do you say that?" asked Evenson, lying in the sun on a chaise longue.
"I can't say I know you completely, but I also know that it's your instinct to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage. Peggy Carter shook her head, "Tony promised you such generous terms just now, and I can see that you are indeed tempted, but in the end you still refused." So I have to infer that you think that joining this new Avengers is more harmful than the conditions Tony has offered. ”
"Hmm. Evenson snorted inexplicably, "Tony is this kind of character, when he has an idea, he will definitely do it, and the captain is also very interested in it, these are things that I can't change, so I have to protect myself." ”
"You're a bit unrighteous about that. Peggy Carter chuckled and lay to the side, picked up a cocktail and took a sip, "You see any danger, at least be warned." ”
"If you remind them, they won't listen. Evenson laughed, "It's not helpful to talk too much, it's only going to make our relationship worse." ”
Peggy Carter also understands this, now that Tony has grown so big, it's not like being disobedient when he was a child and being caught and beaten up. Steve is the same, he may be a little tougher when it comes to the relationship between husband and wife, and the other party is willing to care for and accommodate him. But when it comes to personal ideals, don't say that you will respect such ideals, even if you don't respect him, you won't listen.
"That," Peggy Carter frowned and asked tentatively, "Is it because of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Hmm. Evenson nodded, "Clearly, it's because there's no S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore." ”
"Oh... I understand. Peggy Carter was thoughtful and stopped asking.
What Evenson said just now actually coincided with the fact that she had always had a hint of worry in her heart.
The Avengers used to be a unit of S.H.I.E.L.D., which means that the affairs of the Avengers are in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. But now that S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone, who is responsible?
Is there such a good thing in the world that the strongest transhuman group in the world can operate everywhere and be exempt from responsibility? and is this a good thing?
Now Tony wants to shoulder this responsibility, and he dares to shoulder this responsibility, but can his shoulders be as broad as S.H.I.E.L.D. to carry this responsibility? If he can't bear it, he can only be crushed to death by responsibility!
Alas... Peggy Carter sighed in her heart, she felt that when the world gradually settled down, and when the remaining part of Hydra was struck, she also advised Steve to retire and enjoy his old age in peace, and the affairs of the Avengers would be stopped, otherwise they would either be imprisoned or ruined.
Then they had a lot of fun, although Evenson made a bad start, but the others were not narrow characters, and they also promised to help in times of difficulty, so they didn't pay much attention to these things, but the uninvited guest came.
As several military helicopters flew over and landed, Air Force Brigadier General Tabot walked in, unlike usual, he was wearing a camouflage uniform and combat uniform at this time, and his face was extremely gloomy.
"It's private territory. As the master of this place, Tony deservedly won, and he took a very tough attitude from the beginning, "The military has no right to conduct any operations here, even if there is anything else, you have to get a search warrant from the court first." ”
"I'm just looking for someone. Tapbot snorted coldly and didn't choke on Tony, "Maria Hill, I'm going to talk to her." ”
"Heh," Tony sneered, "she's my client and my current employee now, so I think you'd better talk to my lawyer team first." As he spoke, he took out his phone and prepared to make a call.
"She has to see me. Tapbot deliberately shouted, "If she doesn't want the lives of the remaining agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., then she can continue to hide here." ”
"It's okay, Tony. Maria Hill was on the side, and she had already heard Tapote's words, and she couldn't continue to hide after this, so she had to stand up and put on a bathrobe and walked over, "Let's talk here, Mr. Brigadier General." ”
"Hehe..."Seeing this scene, Evenson whispered to Peggy Carter next to him, "See, did he dare to do this when S.H.I.E.L.D. was there?"
Peggy Carter smiled wryly and sighed. In the past, when S.H.I.E.L.D. was there, Tapote dared to yell at Maria Hill here, could he summon or even threaten a Grade 9 agent, and Nick Fury could make him lie down and go back!
But now it's like this, which also shows from the side that Tony's influence is far worse than that of S.H.I.E.L.D. The military will not provoke him too much, but they will not be overly afraid of him.
It didn't take long for Maria Hill to finish talking to Tapote, she changed into clothes and walked over to say goodbye to everyone, "It seems that I have to help this general to do some things first, no way, to assist the military and government to complete the screening of S.H.I.E.L.D., is one of the conditions of my immunity." ”
The simple thing about Tapote's finding Hill is that he really can't find where Coulson's group has gone, so he has to ask Hill to help.
It stands to reason that Hill was reluctant to assist Thabot in his pursuit of Coulson, but what else could he do? In such a situation, the U.S. government is now going to screen and vet the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, which is a legitimate and legitimate act, and you can't escape this kind of behavior forever.
Of course, Hill also knew that Coulson had a clear conscience and was not afraid of this kind of screening and scrutiny, and he must have his own difficulties in choosing to disappear. But who can understand this hardship? In the eyes of the military, if you evade, it means that you are suspicious, and if you fight against it, it is the thug of Hydra!
And what will happen to the rioters? Considering the way the American police behave, do you expect the military to be gentle?
Now Ciel doesn't know how good Melinda is, but if she had, she would have gone faster. The Iron Rider is so iron now, what if he misses and kills someone?
Not to mention whether the American GIs who acted on orders were unjustly killed, it is said that once the person dies, the nature is different, and Coulson will not be able to wash his name for the rest of his life! Therefore, in any way, Hill must go through this experience.
And now, although Coulson is not doing as well as before, it is not too bad. Because he just triggered the hidden clues left by Nick Fury and opened a new copy of the secret base of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Providence, that's the name of that secret base. The only assistant there was an agent who looked like a baby bear, Eric Kenig.
The Kenig agent seemed to be a big fan of Coulson, and he couldn't stop talking. Coulson is also carefully looking at everything in this base, the environment is not very good, but there is no way, this is an underground base, but the conditions are too simple, right?
"Don't worry about the financial constraints. Looking at Kenig like a child who had done something wrong, he was a little embarrassed to explain to Coulson, "In order to maintain secrecy, this base was built secretly by the director with a lot of effort, and the funds used did not pass through the official accounts of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
"Everything was fine, but I don't know why S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly launched an anti-corruption inspection of the logistics system, and the director had to cut off the capital chain in order not to expose this base, so it became hard here, and it must have been the hydra lackeys who smelled it. ”
Kenig didn't notice Coulson and Melinda's strange expressions at all, and said comfortingly, "But it's okay, everything that should have been fixed before the fund chain was broken." ”
"You must all be hungry, aren't you?" Kenig clapped his hands and took out some liquid food and energy bars from the cabinet, "In order to maintain the normal operation of the base, I had to deduct some food from the food, although these things don't taste very good, but they are nutritious. ”
Melinda took a sip of liquid food that I don't know what it tasted like, and nibbled on an energy bar that tasted like chewing wax, and I regretted it in my heart, Evenson, because I was lucky enough to help you get some beef and good wine, but I have to eat these things today, and this retribution seems to be reported to the wrong person, right?!
