Chapter 346: Director Lex Luthor
Somewhere, by the beach. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Another troublesome thing related to our protagonist is quietly unfolding in an unknown corner, and now Eric is unaware. At this moment, he was lounging in his pants and lying lazily on the bustling beach with Peter Parker.
This is a beach trip initiated by the graduates of Midtown High School. In fact, according to school custom, graduating students return to campus in a few days and are free to celebrate the end of their high school careers one last time on campus in any way they want. But this year, I don't know if anyone came up with this traditional way of being a bit boring, so I launched this beach trip.
Graceful shadows emerge from the turquoise waters, with white waves of "bang-la-la-la". Raven was wearing a bikini today, and although it was all black according to her usual preference, it accentuated the whiteness of her skin as white as snow. Walking through the layers of the crowd, Eric's gaze unconsciously fell on the Izumi Beauty, and she walked straight towards where they were.
Peter leaned into his ear and whispered, "She's so spicy, isn't she?" β
"What nonsense, that's called innocence."
Raven casually walked over to the two of them and sat down, asking, "Aren't you going into the water?" β
"No, we're talking about something." Peter said, "Well, what was I just about to ask?" By the way, Nick Fury -- did you know he hasn't been in charge lately? β
"It's been a long time since I didn't care." "You don't know. β
"Well, I'm not as well-informed as you are." "I met Aegis last week while stopping a super-powered maniac trying to tear down a private business...... Then I realized that the one-eyed dragon was out of business. Where has he gone? β
"I don't know." Eric shrugged, "Maybe hiding in a corner and being a spy in a different way." β
"Honestly, I'm actually quite scared of this one-eyed guy." "He always made me nervous, and you know he told me that when I grow up, he wanted me to consider working for Aegis?" β
"Did he really say that?"
"yes. To be honest, I was relieved to hear that he was gone. β
Eric smiled wryly: "If you knew about the current director, I'm afraid you wouldn't think so." To be sure, Fury isn't bad - I know he once had an army trying to get you out of the house, but he's not bad. β
"Well, I know, but it just doesn't feel good. Have you watched Total Recall? There was a little guy inside who pulled up his shirt, and there was a little monster hidden inside. I've always wondered if one day Nick Fury lifted his blindfold and there would be a little monster hidden in it and suddenly say to me, 'Hey, hello!' ββ
Raven was rarely amused by his brain hole, and laughed out loud.
"So who's the new director?" Peter asked, "Do I know?" β
"Lex Luthor, the director of the Met's Luther Group, do you know?"
"Damn! Of course I know! Peter exclaimed, "Mr. Luthor is not only one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists, but also among the most famous leaders in the scientific community. What S.H.I.E.L.D. is he taking over now? Why is it not written in the magazine? β
"Do you expect the magazine to say something like 'Lex Luthor, president of the Luthor Group, head of S.H.I.E.L.D., a state highly secret organization'?" Eric rolled his eyes, "Also, trust me, don't be fooled by his flashy resume, this guy isn't a good bird...... Much worse than Fury. β
Aegis Headquarters, Three Flying Mansions, early in the morning.
The number of floors of the electronic display board on the elevator slowly rose to the top floor, and with a "ding" verification sound, it seemed that Agent Coulson, who had been wearing that black suit all year round, walked out of the elevator and came to the desk.
Sitting behind the table with his back to him was the new owner of Aegis, Lex Luthor.
"I'm assuming you came to my office so early in the morning with something urgent, Agent Coulson?" Luthor asked in a flat tone without looking back.
"Actually, I do have a little bit of a question I want to ask." "It's about a recent series of cases, sir, and I think you already know about itβthere's an unknown figure attacking the superpowered one by one. Just last night, a factory worker named Hand Mivor was attacked. We've long suspected that he's a potential superpower, but even we've never been sure because he's so well hidden...... But even he was attacked. β
"Uh-huh." Luther still didn't turn his head, motioning for him to continue.
"It's a serial event, there's no doubt about it. We know that several superpowers have been attacked by the same person so far, because the symptoms are the same for each victim - no external injuries, but the body is completely drained, like an old battery that has been drained. β
"Quite a vivid description." Luthor said lightly.
"That's not the point, sir." "The point is -- we've detected suspected residual reactions to submojovirus at every site, right?" β
"That's what the report seems to say."
"Then why don't you let me take over?" Coulson frowned and couldn't help but ask, "So far, I have been involved in cases related to the 'Yamozhuo' project, and it has been the case since Director Fury was in office, why is this exception?" β
Luther finally turned, a smile of insignificance on his lips, looking at him with a deep and elusive gaze.
"No why." He smiled and said, "Maybe you just need to relax, maybe Director Fury's departure is also a sign that you can finally give yourself a little vacation." Don't overthink it, Agent Coulson, your work has been done very well and impressively, you just need to keep it up. Unnecessary problems, naturally someone will have to worry about it. β
Coulson frowned slightly, paused at his desk for a few seconds, and finally reluctantly turned away.
He had realized that, since Lex Luthor had taken power, it had become more and more obvious that he had left the former director, Fury's heavy men, idle. In the past, Fury would leave the most important matters to Coulson, and the most secretive tasks would be entrusted to super agents like Hawkeye and Black Widow. Recently, Coulson has apparently found that the affairs at hand are much easier, most of them are inconsequential chores, and top agents such as Hawkeye and Black Widow are basically called by Luthor as super thugs, and rarely give them highly classified tasks.
Lex Luthor is cultivating his own cronies within Aegis, and worse, maybe there are some other plans.
