Chapter 32: Osborne
Following.
Nick fell into a deep silence as he looked at the mountains of papers on his desk.
"So those people who killed a thousand knives left these things for me to deal with?"
Nick slapped the table angrily, if it weren't for the fact that there were other people here, he might have to scold his mother directly, and spit out all the scolding words he knew in his previous life.
I didn't say anything about locking myself up for a week, but I deliberately left so many emergencies for myself to deal with.
I'm afraid it's because I know that the Security Bureau can't keep me, so I simply open it directly, thinking that when I come back, I will be disgusted directly.
"Uh... They say that these matters are too urgent, and it is better to wait for you to come back, Director. Hill smiled bitterly, she was a deputy, and if she spoke, then she wouldn't have the right to act on her behalf, so even if she was not convinced, she could only wait for Nick to come back.
Otherwise, with Hill's ability, it would be simple to deal with these little things.
"Is this a fucking emergency?"
Nick helped his head, for him, except for the war between the two countries, or some kind of rebellion, it can be regarded as a particularly urgent situation, just this trivial matter, he must also deal with it himself, this is really a matter......
"Pierce really wouldn't be angry with me, would he?!"
Slamming the table, Nick pushed the mountain of papers in front of Hill and said.
"Divide all these to the people below, they are all small things of relatively low level, and in the future, as the above will ask you to do so, you will use my original words to press him.
If I do this next time, I'll catch those soft eggs who eat state food, and I'll watch them personally finish all the paperwork, or else I won't go back to sleep. ”
"But I think if you do that, you'll be in a state of suspension again." Hill reminded.
"Then let them be the director, every time something happens, I have to wipe their butts, they really treat me as their father, right?" Nick said indignantly.
Hill on one side called a few civilians in and moved the big stack out.
These are things that can be approved and handled by those civilian personnel, and now they are just returned to their original owners.
"How's Osborne?" As if something had suddenly occurred to him, Nick turned to Ciel.
"We have dropped the body of the lizardman to the bottom of their mansion as you requested, but they seem to be very tight-lipped about it, and they don't want to divulge anything, and they have destroyed all the data and equipment in the laboratory overnight, and no matter how much our people try to find it, they can't find any clues."
"Guessed."
Nick had a playful smile on his face.
"They were supposed to just want Kim to try out the performance of their new product, and there should be the shadow of that group of councillors.
In their opinion, the original situation is nine out of ten, and as long as I die, this matter can be completely suppressed. But I didn't expect that not only did I not die, but I also killed all their lizardmen. Nick continued.
"It is estimated that there is a mess over there now, and it is not easy to wipe out the evidence in just a few days, plus there is pressure from the Security Bureau, Osborne is estimated to have to slow down for a long time this time."
"But the Director... The military seems to be very interested in Osborne's project, and has sent someone to contact Osborne's people in private. ”
"Oh? Someone from the military? Nick laughed.
"There's nothing strange about this, after all, this kind of weapon, even if I can get it, will do whatever it takes, but Osborne is not Stark, as long as the price offered by the military is high enough, then with Osborne's temperament, it is estimated that he will definitely sell it to them, and it just happens to be able to eliminate the waves by the way.
When the time comes, it will be the military that has done it, and anyway, the losses caused by the military's experiments over the years are not small. ”
"So what do we do?" Hill asked rhetorically.
"What to do? What else can I do? Nick stretched.
"The next thing is the matter of the Security Bureau and the military, it has nothing to do with our S.H.I.E.L.D., and I don't bother to wade into this troubled water, and it won't do us any good if we dig deeper, and if we don't get it up, we'll be in trouble if we just find a reason to embarrass us."
"But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on a guy named Curtis Kurt Connors, if I'm not mistaken, he was supposed to be Osborne's chief advisor, but now... It is very likely that they will be thrown out as a scapegoat. ”
"You mean, Dr. Connors?" Hill muttered the name and suddenly thought of something.
"What? Do you know him too? Nick asked.
"Of course." Ciel chuckled.
"I remember when he went to Stark Industries with his research, but Mr. Stark was not like he is now, and he rejected his idea in one fell swoop, and finally Dr. Connors had to go to Osborne Industries." Hill said.
"And this technology that can turn people into lizardmen is what he proposed and developed."
Nick nodded.
"Can you find him now?"
"Can't find it." Hill shook his head.
"After that day, the man disappeared, and even his original information on the Osborne group was erased as if it had never appeared."
"I see." Nick nodded slightly, rubbing his chin.
"Then in the next few days, you can send more people to the sewers to look for it, maybe we can find what we want."
"What do you mean?"
"Lizards, don't you like to live in this dark, damp environment?" Nick said mysteriously.
"I don't believe that Connors would be willing to give up such a great invention, he wants to succeed in the invention more than anyone else, after all, the disability in his arm is the pain of his life."
"Understand, Director, I'll send a few groups of people to intensify the search now." Hill nodded.
"Go ahead, but remember to get a blueprint of the underground system first, or you'll get lost in a few minutes with those idiots."
Nick waved his hand and motioned for Hill to go out.
Hill, who had been ordered, slowly exited the office, and even closed the door to the office.
It's just that Nick hasn't been alone for a long time, but the sound of a phone ring has disturbed this rare purity.
Nick doesn't have to look to know who called.
"Can't these people stop for a day!"
Nick cursed, reluctantly connected the phone, and after a few words, he just scolded and pushed open the office door and stepped out.
