As for the meaning of the so-called custody in Nick's words, Hill still knows the way.

Anything, as long as it is under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Even if that thing was a national treasure before, outsiders wouldn't want to take it out of S.H.I.E.L.D.

That's what S.H.I.E.L.D. does.

"Don't look, this thing doesn't belong to Earth."

Nick interrupts Ciel's observation of the Mind Scepter.

This thing doesn't need to be studied.

It is inlaid with the Mind Gem, one of the six Infinity Stones of the universe, and it is also the treasure of Sanos.

Except for Loki, Thanos can use it freely.

"Asgardian?"

Hill asked rhetorically.

From Nick's side, they also learned about Loki's identity.

They couldn't figure out why the second prince of Asgard wanted to attack Earth.

And because of Loki's invasion, it also changed their impression of the Asgardians a lot.

Compared to Loki, Thor instantly looks a lot cuter.

"No, that's not what we should be concerned about."

Nick shook his head, not intending to tell the Infinity Stones.

"Put it in that place three thousand meters underground."

Nick thought about it, and then continued to speak.

"Let Dr. Servig not have a psychological burden and speed up the progress of researching the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, a failure doesn't mean anything, it's impossible that the Cosmic Rubik's Cube will bring some strange people over every time, right?"

"Got it."

Hill nodded, and then handed the information he had brought with him to Nick.

"What is this?"

Nick took the information, frowned when he saw the first page of the information, and then slammed the stack on the table.

"What do they mean by this, as the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., can't I even have such a small amount of power?"

He looked a little angry.

Because those damn guys actually wrote down Nick's abuse of private power and all the big and small things over the years, and listed them one by one.

There are even several pieces of evidence of embezzlement.

It's just that fortunately, there are only a few records of embezzlement.

According to Nick's current estimates, the old guy who was not ashamed in the past at least embezzled billions of stolen money to engage in his own things.

I don't know how he managed to be seamless in this regard.

After so many years, only a few times have I almost been caught.

Nick didn't even bother to look at it later.

The guys were clear.

I just want Nick to be more restrained, so that he doesn't think that he can do whatever he wants if he is the director.

There's still someone staring at it!

"As you know, it's not a matter of time for the people above to look at you unpleasantly, especially since you have rebuilt the experimental base of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube without authorization.

They all agreed that the blame for the error of the experiment was your assertions. ”

"But as it turned out, I was the right decision."

Nick was dissatisfied.

"Not only did it reduce unnecessary casualties, it saved hundreds of millions of dollars."

"They only want to believe what they see."

Ciel sighed, she understood what Nick meant.

The position of director is not as easy as it seems to outsiders.

It's just that with her qualifications, she doesn't deserve to speak for Nick in front of those people.

"So are they going to have a critique meeting for me? Take turns educating me? ”

"That's right." Hill nodded, "The councillors are already waiting for you, and they seem to have a big bias against your proposed Avenger plan. ”

"Okay, I see, I'll go now."

Picking up his nose, Nick stood up from his seat, and after arranging his trademark black trench coat, he strode in the direction of the conference room.

This is a conference room dedicated to special meetings.

There's nothing in there, it's just a row of screens.

On the screen, five figures with blurred faces occupy one screen in turn.

But think about it with your ass, Nick knows who they are.

In addition to the previous director, Alexander Pierce, there are several high-ranking members of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In terms of qualifications, some of them are on par with themselves, and some are even higher than themselves.

It is because of this qualification that they dare to criticize Nick's behavior like this.

If it were someone else.

I'm afraid I was already thrown away by Nick to feed the sharks.

Anyway, as long as you change the death report, you are already familiar with it.

"So, you called me here to criticize me again?" Nick put his hands behind his back and didn't give them a good look because of who they were.

"With all due respect, gentlemen, I'll just take care of my affairs myself."

The councillors obviously knew Nick's temper, so they didn't bother to answer Nick's words, but spoke.

"This has crossed the line, Commander, you are dealing with forces that cannot be controlled. Of course, when you proposed to restart the research project of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, I warned you that there are some things that are not as simple as they seem to you. ”

Nick just smiled faintly at this and retorted.

"Have you ever fought a war, have you ever seen a real gun? I don't feel like I'm too deadly. ”

"But the Asgardian Divine Domain has declared war on us, shouldn't we prepare something practical?" Pierce said.

"It's not Asgardian God's Domain, it's Loki." Nick corrected.

"But he can't go it alone, what about his companions? His brother? ”

"According to intelligence, Thor is not hostile. But he's on another planet, and we can't count on him. ”

"So we've been keeping you focused on the second phase, which is specifically designed to deal with ......"

"The second stage is not perfect, this matter of Loki has already sounded the alarm for us, the enemy is unlikely to appear when we are prepared, so we urgently need an army right now that can deal with special situations."

"You mean your Avengers plan?" A congresswoman spoke indignantly, and if Nick remembered correctly, the congresswoman seemed to be a member of Hydra, like Pierce.

"This is not the Avengers."

Nick looked at them, most of the people present were hydras, but at this moment, they could pretend to be better than anyone else.

"We've seen the list, you have the world's top secret security forces under your command, but you want to entrust the safety and fate of humanity to a group of monsters."

"I don't want to give it to anyone, we need an emergency unit, they can be withdrawn and even a little flawed, but I believe that with the right guidance, this is a good team."

"You just believe in them? They are far less reliable than trained soldiers. ”

"I know, but so what? There are some unexpected situations that cannot be easily solved by those things. Nick said.

"But do you dare to guarantee that your so-called Avengers will not boast and arrogant because of their strength far beyond ordinary people, and no one in their eyes?" Pierce said.

"This kind of thing has happened more than once, and the lessons learned so many times before are not enough for you to remember for a long time?"

"If that time exists, I'll do it." Nick's rocker is straight.

"Just you?"

All five councillors let out a mocking laugh.

"Yes, it's up to me."

Only Nick nodded affirmatively.
