Chapter 67: Another Deal
Oakes somewhat understood what Nick Fury meant, but he didn't care much about it.
Peace? If I'm in a hurry, I'll take people to Russia directly, believe it or not!
"Your information, as well as Banner and Hulk's, is now Level 9 classified."
Fury glanced at Banner with a bewildered expression, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly:
"But even I, who have the highest level 10 clearance, don't have access to the higher clearances determined by the Council, which means that the Council has the ability to force me to change my decisions to a certain extent—
Like this time. ”
“……”
Oakes frowned, what Nick Fury meant, Oakes' identity is not a secret in front of the World Security Council, and there are still many people who are qualified to access it at the ninth level.
But until now, except for a limited number of Fury's henchmen within S.H.I.E.L.D., the others, especially the members of Hydra, really hadn't appeared in front of him as an advisor.
There is no doubt that although the level of Oakes is level nine, Fury's presence in S.H.I.E.L.D. is not at all public.
Who would pay attention to the ninth-level secret all day long, is there another one? Since it's confidential, of course it's better not to know—
I don't even know how to exist.
Therefore, there are secrets of Oaks in the database, but not everyone who has access to them will know about Oakes.
But with the appearance of him and Hulk, his identity as an "environmental advisor" of S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot be hidden, but S.H.I.E.L.D. will only know that there is such a person as him, and his information is still a level 9 secret.
However, inevitably, many people with ninth-level clearance will know his information.
And the World Security Council is one of them.
"If you could be so easily influenced by them, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't be what it is now-
What did they do? ”
Oakes regained his composure, it was inevitable, and the Council knew he wouldn't do anything to him.
They will only act through S.H.I.E.L.D. - unless S.H.I.E.L.D. has no control over the situation.
"Yes, we have someone in charge of communicating with the council...... That's an old friend of mine. ”
Nick Fury snorted:
"I have to say, this has saved me a lot of trouble, I just need to concentrate on running S.H.I.E.L.D. well, and the bureaucrats' affairs, he will deal with them-
This time, however, with Dr. Banner's help, I submitted to the Commission an application for the transfer of custody of Dr. Banner from the military......"
His face darkened.
"They refused?"
Fury didn't care about the slight sarcasm in Oakes' tone, as he was looking at Banner:
"They made one of the stupidest idiotic requests I could think of — they asked me to help the U.S. military 'wrap' Bronsky."
"What?!"
Oakes didn't say anything, and it was Banner who was shocked:
"But Harlem ......"
"Yes, Bronski has been called 'Abomination,' but they clearly don't want us to continue to call him that — they intend to put the blame on you, Dr. Banner."
"What......"
Fury's words made Banner completely stunned, and he stood up in disbelief:
"How can they ......"
"They're the regulatory department of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they can."
Fury glanced at Oakes, who was not moving, changed his sitting position, and said strangely:
"Mr. Advisor, it seems that you are not surprised."
"The bureaucracy, combined with the usual virtues of the U.S. military, and their influence on the council......
Whether it's to appease public grievances or to absolve the military of responsibility, it's no surprise that they're doing so. ”
Oakes snorted contemptuously and patted Banner's arm:
"Don't worry, since the director has already said so, he must also be against it-
Then again, the two of us are facing the hatred head-on, and the rage is to that extent, I'm afraid that guy's brain is about to explode, and they still believe that he can come to his senses? ”
"Of course, after the abhorrence came to his senses, he seemed to have regained some sanity...... This gave them hope, and they were going to acquit him, and they would also count him for military merit—
Of course, this is the military feat of 'Fight the Hulk', who will be the new hero of the US military, as well as ...... Outstanding work. ”
Fury showed his usual sarcastic smile and spread his hands:
"To be honest, it's not uncommon for a few years to have such a clear directive coming directly from the Council, but this is the craziest thing in the past, and even I can't ignore it."
"So...... You have to 'not ignore it' to achieve your goals......"
Oakes chuckled, he glanced at Banner, who had calmed down and sat down again, and then turned to Fury, whose smile was getting softer:
"However, you just tried to send a spy to my company, what about the face?"
"Liaison, just liaison."
Fury nodded in satisfaction, the young man opposite was simply too much of an appetite for him:
"So, the resident liaison or something...... Actually, I'm also very short of manpower.
It's another transaction, non-cash-based, huh? ”
"I have to say, Mr. Director, you are really shameless enough, but unfortunately, I don't like that guy very much......"
Oxton paused, a look of disgust on his face:
"That kind of brainless idiot who is dominated by power, how can He De be called a 'hero'?
And, Dr. Banner will be my teammate. ”
Nick Fury smiled:
"Of course, no doubt, as long as I can ignore this trouble, and as soon as possible—
I'm confident in your speed, but it's not going to be easy. ”
"Wait, wait...... What are you talking about? ”
Banner still can't hold it back, there is no way, this matter is obviously related to him, and a crumbling black cauldron is still hanging above his head:
"What the hell is going on? Teammate? Ox?
Of course, I'm very happy to be teammates with Oakes...... I mean, now you're even my partner? ”
Oakes raised an eyebrow and motioned for Fury to figure it out on his own.
Fury made a calming gesture to Banner:
"Don't worry, doctor, I'll explain later...... But for now, I'll have to talk about business first, your partner is a true profiteer. ”
He turned to Oakes again:
"You don't have much time, and you hate that he is the only one in the prison where he is held, and you don't have to worry about being exposed."
"That's enough."
Oakes looked out the window, and the blazing sun near noon was enthusiastically swaying on the land:
Dr. Banner ...... Will such a big sun cause a fire? ”
“…… Theoretically, it's entirely possible. ”
Banner touched his chin and nodded instinctively:
"It's not very clear here in New York, but in the slums of Rio, under this level of sunshine, I've seen many fires, and sometimes all it takes is a small accident."
"Smack!"
Oakes snapped his fingers and smiled mysteriously:
"A little accident...... Isn't that what it is? ”
"What?"
Nick Fury's face became serious, the air was silent for dozens of seconds, and his phone rang.
Maria Hill, Agent 9 and Nick Fury's absolute henchman.
"Director, just now, there was an explosion in the prison where General Ross was holding the Abomination!"
"What did you say?!"
Agent Hill was silent for two seconds:
"Half of the prison vanished in the blazing flames—along with the abomination."
