Chapter 184: The Greatest Wish
"So you mean that you can be sure that thing is actually dead? Won't it crawl out of the grave again in a few days or something? ”
Sitting in the director's office with the air conditioning on and the air-conditioning, he confirmed it to Richard. It can be seen that Mr. Director is really a little scared of this group of alien beasts or something, and he can't be completely relieved even if it is blown into powder, so he still has to keep making sure that the thing is really completely gone, and it will no longer be a threat.
Before, after Richard and Aegis ended their cooperation, they patted their butts and left, and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were responsible for explaining the details of the mission or something. However, this time Aegis provided a lot of help, and Richard was able to successfully take the head of The One in the Meta domain in the end, thanks to the previous pile of various controls, which have not completely failed. So out of courtesy, he should have come to explain a few words to the boiled egg to report the results.
Richard nodded again, "Yes." I don't dare to say it too absolutely, but at least I'm 90% sure. It should have been completely killed and wouldn't be a nuisance anymore. ”
The One is extremely small and strong, and even if it was broken into molecules in the original game, it was not completely destroyed, and the residue left behind led to the appearance of more Xenobiotic Beasts later. It's just that at that time, it was Nexter's ultimate Evolution Ray Storm that smashed it, and the ultimate ray used by Richard was an upgraded version, and it was a two-shot shot, so he felt that it should be able to completely smash the opponent.
Putting aside the follow-up questions of the xenobiotic beast, Fury changed his words and asked, "There is one more thing." You've probably met Tony Stark and worked with him this time, right? ”
"Sort of."
"So from your point of view, what do you think of Tony Stark as a person?"
Richard raised an eyebrow.
To tell the truth, he also knows what the boiled egg wants to ask, but as soon as he said this, why did he have a sense of déjà vu that parents want to trick you into going on a blind date?
Marinated Egg: What do you think of Stark? If you think it's okay, try it everywhere?
Richard: Heh, I'm not interested, get out.
He coughed and decided to answer the question seriously: "From my personal point of view, Tony Stark is an arrogant, self-righteous guy, he has a bad temper proportional to his wealth, and he has a personality but also a bad personality. ”
Fury leaned back in his chair and tapped his head.
Although they all seem to be bad reviews, they are actually similar to the Stark assessment report that Black Widow handed over to Fury. In the final assessment of the report, Black Widow wrote that she thinks Iron Man is a good fit for the Avengers project, but Stark is not. Because as a dresser, he has a bad temper, a strong personality, disobedience to the organization, and no discipline, and is the last thing you want to be in the team on the battlefield.
But then Richard changed his tune: "But if you're looking for a hero, then I'd say Tony Stark is one of the best people you can think of." ”
"Oh? Why do you think that? ”
"No why." "Because that's who he is." ”
yes, it's hard to believe. Who would have thought that huh? A guy worth more than 100 million, with a lot of money, a luxurious life, and a nasty personality, can put on a pair of armor and fly into an unknown wormhole with a nuclear bomb without hesitation, or put on an infinite glove in a wise mortal situation, and exchange his life for the future of a world.
Captain America once pointed at him and said that you are definitely not the kind of person who will lie on the barbed wire and let your teammates climb over.
And in the end, it turns out that Captain America also makes mistakes.
Because he really became that kind of person in the end.
Fury pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about you?" Why can't you be the one I'm looking for? ”
"Me?" Richard shook his head, "I can't. I'm too busy compared to a playboy worth billions. We've signed a movie to make, remember? ”
Richard felt that his life was quite fulfilling now, and he had nothing to complain about.
There is a saying that happiness is that cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and Ultraman defeats the little monsters. Then he had just defeated a big monster, and he felt that it should be at least double the happiness.
"In fact, I've always had an idea, a plan."
It seemed that the time was almost now, and Fury was finally ready to mention to him the incident that he had been holding back for so long. He said as he began to pull papers from under his desk.
"It's about the world's ultimate line of defense, humanity's ultimate response to disasters. I named it the ......."
"Alright," Richard gestured with a "stop" gesture, "stop here, I'm not interested." ”
Fury: "...... Can you at least listen to me? ”
"Don't listen, don't be interested, don't understand." Richard waved his hand.
Who doesn't know what you want to do? Aren't you just fooling me to be a superhero and help you fight monsters?
God knows how many times you've said that to your seniors before me, look at how many people and birds you have?
"Maybe you still don't trust Aegis, but I promise it has nothing to do with Aegis." Fury continued to fool around without giving up, "I know from your point of view, you may feel that Aegis has a lot of things to do wrong. Yes, sometimes we will sacrifice the means for what is necessary, and I can't say that I will be proud of every order I have given. But at the end of the day, we all have the same desire, we just want to protect the world......"
Richard shook his fingers: "No, I don't remember when I said it was my wish." ”
After a slight pause, he pretended to let out a long sigh heavily, glanced at the boiled egg, and then said earnestly: "Actually, I don't want to tell anyone, but it's ...... Well, then I might as well tell you directly, Director Fury, my greatest wish......"
The boiled egg suddenly came to his senses, and even the waist rod seemed to be a little straighter.
"You say."
The biggest wish? What is it?
To be the head of state? Domination of the world and become a master? Submit all of humanity?
Richard's face was unprecedentedly solemn, and he deliberately paused for two seconds, as if he was deliberately exaggerating the atmosphere. Immediately, his gaze slowly moved to the light of the braised egg, and he let out a sigh: "That's not bald......
Boiled eggs: "......"
"Ahem, okay I apologize, maybe I shouldn't have said that." Richard coughed lightly, "But I think that as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you must have been working day and night for the future of all mankind, so it is understandable that your hair fell out quickly." So when I see you, I feel like protecting the world or something must be a chore......"
The boiled egg was expressionless: "Go out, the conversation is over." ”
