Chapter 145: Incompetent Director
Nick Fury not only has this thing, but also is much thicker than ordinary people, directly ignoring Tony's dissatisfaction, and instead asked if he was practicing magic just now?
Tony ignored him, and Nick turned to Ethan, "Ordinary people can learn your magic?"
"Why can't ordinary people learn it? Aren't mages ordinary people before they learn magic?" Ethan spread his hands, "Even I was an ordinary person at the beginning. ”
It's not like Nick hasn't thought about this, he's concerned about another aspect: "I mean...... Don't have any special requirements?"
"Of course there is. Ethan nodded: "Mages have much higher requirements for talent than most professions, in other words, it's not that geniuses don't even have the qualifications to get started." ”
Nick nodded, Tony is undoubtedly a genius, and it is not normal for him to learn magic, so if you want to train a mage, you need to recruit more young geniuses.
The first thing that came to his mind was the group of young people in S.H.I.E.L.D., all of them were geniuses among geniuses, maybe they had this qualification?
In his heart, he thought about cultivating the mage team of S.H.I.E.L.D., but he knew that this idea was not in a hurry, and his friendship with Ethan was not deep, and because of the deterioration of the Security Council before, he had to think about what price he should pay to get Ethan to help teach a few mages?
By the way, he looked at Tony again, if Ethan's side didn't work, maybe he could get some connections from Tony?
Nick suddenly felt that his head hurt even more, Tony's side was not easy to deal with, and Tony Stark's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. was also not very good, and now it was through Howard's relationship that the basic cooperation was maintained.
He didn't know that Howard Stark had been resurrected with the help of Ethan, and since Howard was assassinated, the friendship that Nick thought was long gone.
So Tony didn't want to see Nick, not just because he suddenly interrupted his cultivation.
If it weren't for the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not small, Tony wouldn't have seen him at all, and Pepper Pepper wouldn't have been able to give him a good look - at most a chat with Phil Coulson.
After a few casual conversations, Nick Fury said he wanted to talk to Ethan alone.
In fact, he didn't need to say this, Tony had already stepped aside, Phil Coulson was very good at communicating with people, and he had already 'attracted' Pepper away in advance, in fact, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation to attract Ada's attention, but Ada didn't pay attention to him at all.
Nick waited for the people around him to walk away, but he didn't expect Ada to stand next to Ethan without moving, and then looked at him with a sweet smile, as if he was mocking him for all these tricks.
"Can we talk about it alone?"
"Yes. Ethan spread his hands and made a gesture of please: "Is this also a consultation in the form of a consultant?"
Nick's face was dark, so I couldn't tell if he had gotten darker.
At this time, Natasha, who had been standing next to her and hadn't spoken much, spoke, and suddenly talked about what brand of lip gloss Ida used.
"You don't have to go out of your way to lure Ada away, even if she knows anything, she won't be a threat to you. ”
Nick looked at Ethan, and finally thought of Ethan's identity from another universe, and finally stopped worrying about having to talk to two people alone.
"I actually wanted to talk to you about your ship. ”
"Boat?" Ethan kept wondering what Nick was suddenly looking for, but he didn't expect it to be the reason: "What happened to that ship?"
"I wonder what you want to do when you build such a battleship?"
Nick just stared at Ethan, as if he wanted to see through everything, but this kind of performance seemed so ridiculous to Ethan's eyes.
He understood why Nick had come here. Because they have built a battleship and are an 'outsider', they suspect that they have any intentions for their world.
Even if there are differences in the details, it should be more or less so.
"Of course, shipbuilding is for use, and I often live in a world full of water, and land only occupies a very small part, so I order a big ship and want to live more comfortably, what's the problem?"
"No problem. Nick nodded, Ethan's reasoning sounding impeccable, but his nature as an agent didn't make him believe anything right away, even if it was true: "Why a battleship?"
"Good question!"
This question is purely when others are idiots, why is it a battleship, of course, it is obvious, but Nick deliberately asks it, which proves that he has preset a position in his heart and regards Ethan as a potential enemy.
Ethan certainly saw this, and although he understood Nick Fury's thoughts, he still hated the guy's way of doing things - although it was good to be a secret service leader and be suspicious of everything, it was disgusting to always behave so hostilely.
"Of course, it's to guard against people like you!"
The mockery on Ethan's face was not disguised in the slightest, Nick was not an idiot, he was smart and very good at judging the other party's thoughts from the subtleties.
So he understood what Ethan meant by this, but he still didn't change his mind: "S.H.I.E.L.D.'s duties ......"
"What are the duties of S.H.I.E.L.D., tell me? How do I feel that you have to be involved in everything. ”
Nick Fury was about to say something, but Ethan directly raised his hand to stop him, and then with a flick of his fingers, several people were immediately surrounded by a layer of translucent glass.
"This is a mirror space, where it's perfectly safe to talk, and in the eyes of others we continue the conversation about the duties of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Nick looked around, thinking that Ethan and he looked like he was going to quarrel before, was it a deliberate gesture?
Ethan squinted at Nick Fury, his expression put a lot of pressure on Nick, and if Ethan was going to do anything to him, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
"You're going to come here out of nowhere, it shouldn't be a sudden thought, is it the Security Council or S.H.I.E.L.D. asking for an investigation into me and my custom ships?"
Nick had been an agent all his life, and he immediately understood what Ethan meant, but he was reluctant to answer the question: "It's an internal matter of ours, and it doesn't seem like we need to report it to you." ”
"Because it's me involved, you'd better make it clear. ”
"Otherwise?"
"Otherwise, I'll think S.H.I.E.L.D. has great ill will towards me, and will probably keep giving me trouble...... I am a person who is particularly afraid of trouble, and in order to avoid endless annoying things, I have a habit of eliminating problems at their root when they first arise. ”
Nick Fury felt threatened—Ethan was threatening him—and his face darkened.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. does not accept any threats and is not afraid of any challenge. ”
"Challenge?" Ethan shook his head, "Now you're challenging me." ”
"We just want to find out the true purpose of Your Excellency's construction of a formidable warship in our world. ”
"The real purpose? What do you want to hear? I want to conquer the Earth? Conquer the Earth and I build a surface warship? Whose IQ are you insulting? And the so-called figuring out my purpose?" Ethan looked at Nick: "You don't believe it yourself, you know what those people want." ”
Obviously, someone within S.H.I.E.L.D. is eyeing the technology they provided to Tony, most likely the Hydra guys.
"So stealing other people's property and technology is also the responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D., right?" Ethan thought for a moment, as if S.H.I.E.L.D. had really done this kind of thing, and they had looted a lot of things after defeating Hydra, even including Hydra's scientists.
Nick wanted to nod his head and say, 'Yes, that's right,' but can say that? If they say it, they are not the righteous S.H.I.E.L.D., and one of the main reasons why S.H.I.E.L.D. has been able to run amok for so many years is that they can always stand on the moral high ground and silence all opposition voices in the name of justice.
"I promise you, as long as you really don't want to threaten Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't cause you any trouble. ”
Nick pinched the bridge of his nose, and after a spin in his heart, he realized that there was really nothing he could do to deal with Ethan. Personal force aside, the relationship between Ethan and Tony is there, and Tony has always been responsible for the design and manufacture of that battleship, if it weren't for this relationship, S.H.I.E.L.D. WOULD HAVE DONE IT A LONG TIME AGO.
It's too costly to anger a mysterious mage now, or even to turn it off to Tony Stark completely, and Nick doesn't want to pay for a ship with some special skills.
"Guarantee? An organization that has been infiltrated by Hydra from the former director to the grassroots agents, and eighty percent of the personnel have been infiltrated by the hydra, what do you promise me. ”
The previous conversation still seemed like a quarrel, and Nick wondered if it was necessary to deliberately argue in a place like Mirror Space, and it wasn't until Ethan said this that he realized why Ethan had set up the magic.
Nick felt like he was drenched in a cold sweat for a moment, and he wanted to think that Ethan was deliberately provoking or disgusting himself, but the mage's expression made him realize that what that sentence revealed was probably true.
"What did you say?"
"As you heard, S.H.I.E.L.D. has long since become a division of Hydra, and as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you can't even figure out what your own organization is, what a failure!"
The Hydra idiots provoked themselves, and Ethan certainly wouldn't act as if nothing had happened.
Since the Hydra parasitic inside S.H.I.E.L.D. is not good to kill directly, then tear off the disguise of Hydra first, anyway, with his revelation, Nick will definitely have a move when he goes back, no matter who wins or loses between Nick and Pierce, the vest of S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely not be able to be saved.
Without the vest of justice, Hydra is nothing more than a bunch of street rats, and everyone is happy to see them stepped on.
At that point, Ethan will be able to settle accounts with them.
