Chapter 391: Nick and Red Skull's Troubles

S.H.I.E.L.D.D. headquarters, in Nick's director's office. Director Nick Fury was sitting in his chair with a frown, the computer monitor on the desk in front of him showing some information about Hydra, the X-Men, and the Guardian Alliance.

Nick has been in a bad mood lately, although S.H.I.E.L.D. had the upper hand in the previous blows against Hydra, but yesterday's battle made Nick realize that Hydra is not so weak, they just didn't expose their hole cards before.

And for the hole card exposed by Hydra, Nick has no clue, and Phantom Knight, the only one who may know something, doesn't seem to want to talk to him. This is one of the few situations where Nick has been completely out of his control since he became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and this situation makes Nick very unhappy.

Nick's attitude towards the Phantom Knight of the Guardian Alliance is very tangled, with gratitude and jealousy, but jealousy still accounts for the majority. Although Phantom Knight had saved Nick's life before, since Phantom Knight appeared, Nick found that more and more things were out of his control.

In addition to the information that he didn't know, Nick's plan to form the Avengers was also influenced by Lin Rui. In Nick's opinion, if Phantom Knight hadn't intervened, Iron Man Tony would have been fooled into the Avengers by himself. With Nick, the Iron Man, the current Avengers will not be a situation where Captain America is alone.

That's right, although neither Tony nor Lin Rui revealed anything, Nick had already judged that Tony had discovered that his father Howard's legacy was in S.H.I.E.L.D. was said by Phantom Knight. This also directly led to Tony's discovery of a new element without Nick's help, thus solving his own palladium poisoning situation.

With Phantom Knight's intervention, the Avengers have one less person to hold up the situation and one less person to contradict Rogers in the team. In Nick's original plan, the Avengers were not Rogers, Captain America's one-man squad, this should be a knife in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. In order to achieve such a balance, the only one who has enough strength and confidence to get along with Rogers on an equal footing is Iron Man Tony.

And now Tony has not joined the Avengers, and in the case of semi-cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D., the current Avengers team is completely led by Captain Rogers, and Nick's plan is not perfect. So now, Nick has the pressure of the World Security Council above, and there is a team that is not very obedient below, so it's no wonder that his mood can be better.

With his thoughts on his mind, Nick looked up at the computer screen again. The screen shows the current profiles of some forces and individuals, with Tony Stark and Stark Industries behind Iron Man, Steve Rogers behind Captain America, and Professor Charles behind the X-Men. As for the Hydra, there is only Alexander behind for the time being, and there are a few question marks left. But behind the Guardian League, all but Math Daredevil have black question marks.

"Phantasm, who the hell are you?" Nick whispered to himself as his gaze lingered on the black question mark representing Phantom Knight.

Nick has been investigating Phantom Knight's identity in reality, and it is not that he has not suspected Lin Rui, who has a good relationship with Tony in real life, but because there is no evidence that Nick has always been suspicious. Moreover, with Nick's suspicious personality, in addition to Lin Rui, he also suspected many people.

Moreover, Lin Rui has always behaved "mediocre" in school. Even if he is following Tony to do experiments now, Nick only sees him as a scientific reserve, but Phantom Knight is obviously a person with great strength in everyone, and he should not be such a teenager who is less than seventeen years old.

Still, the Hydra attack gave Nick a little more attention. After all, this attack actually included Lin Rui's parents, and it was normal for Nick to think more. However, in the end, Lin Rui and Tony also gave a reasonable explanation.

Moreover, Nick has also seen the magic-imitating attack on Tony's upgraded version of Iron Man, which is indeed more powerful than ordinary conventional weapons, and it is also a greater blow to Jarvis. Therefore, it would be normal if Hydra launched an attack on Lin Rui's parents because of this.

The point is, this attack of Hydra is clearly an operation against the Avengers, the Guardians, and the X-Men using ordinary people as bait. If it weren't for Lin Rui's use of all his connections to request a lot of support because he was worried about the safety of his parents in the first place, then under the blow of Hydra's use of the Space Infinity Stone, S.H.I.E.L.D. would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, the suspicion of Lin Rui's family has been reduced a lot, and Hydra should just use them as bait by the way. However, Nick didn't know that this operation was the Phantom Knight's first response, and called for all the backups, which means that the Phantom Knight cares very much about those ordinary people.

"The Avengers are still not strong enough, perhaps, it's time to contact that one. I don't know if he can control his power after these years. Glancing over the members of the Avengers on the computer screen, Nick suddenly sighed and muttered to himself.

Card~

Nick then turned off the screen and went about his work. After the Hydra blow, Nick is now working on upgrading S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence department, which is a big job. Nick, who is busy improving the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., won't know, because someone doesn't like him, and he may not be able to do it for long.

......

While S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Nick was hard at work searching for clues to the Hydra, the real Hydra had now changed dramatically with the appearance of the Red Skull. After yesterday's Rubik's Cube was dispatched to strike at S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Guardian Alliance, Red Skull had already moved to another hidden base with the Rubik's Cube again.

Zizizi~

Buzzing!

There is a huge square in the center of this Hydra base, and now the center of this square is full of some large machines, very similar to the machines in the base that was destroyed by Hydra himself yesterday, and they should all be machines that study and exert the power of the Rubik's Cube. Now, these machines are working, emitting electrical and mechanical sounds from time to time.

In the room at the edge of the square, the red skull sat on his couch and watched the progress of the experiment in the square in front of him. Although the skin on the red skull's face is close to the bones of the person, and it is blood red, it can also be seen that the red skull's face is even worse than that of Nick.

"It's been sixty years! The secret of the Rubik's Cube has not been solved! If this continues, they will only be able to wait for death when they find them!" Red Skull whispered viciously, looking at the working machines in the square outside.

"However, there seems to be some abnormal movement after the use of the Rubik's Cube yesterday, and I hope to completely unravel its secret as soon as possible!"

PS: Before I knew it, it was a million words, and it was completely my own interest to stick to the results of the street until now, and I wanted to write out some fantasies about heroes in my mind. I like Marvel movies very much, and I haven't seen the comics, so it's normal to have bugs in the setting and plot, and you don't need to take it too seriously. However, although it is interest that makes me persevere, but because the grades are too poor, the passion will be reduced, and many holes may not be buried, and the follow-up plot should also be greatly reduced. I'll try to write it well, though. Also, I would like to thank all the book friends who have always supported me here. Although I don't know you, you have supported me to persist until now. Especially for book friends who have been voting for monthly tickets, although I have never asked for a monthly pass (one or two monthly passes are useless for a small transparent 0.0 like mine), thank you.
