Mixed in with a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents watching the excitement, after watching Nick Fury, whose hands were shackled, being taken away by the investigation team.

Erin shook his head and smiled, not expecting that in the end, the person who personally shackled Nick Fury would be himself.

After seeing the excitement.

Erin's figure unconsciously disappeared into a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

···········································

Ten minutes later.

An inconspicuous-looking middle-aged man with short brown hair, a two-pronged mustache, and a black briefcase walked into his office on the east side of the 18th floor of the Sanqu Wing Building.

This office is not big, but in this small office, there is a huge landscape painting of purple air coming from the east.

Vaguely, it seems to reveal the hobbies of the director of this office.

In the next second, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s logistics department, Level 8 Agent Duke Granger, who had just opened the door to his office, had his pupils shrank suddenly.

Holding back his trembling heart, he gently closed the door behind his office.

Duke stepped forward softly, lowered his eyebrows, and stood quietly to the side, waiting for the teenager who had occupied his desk and computer to finish his game.

“GAME OVER！”

Looking at the huge words that took up most of the computer screen, Erin stretched and turned off a single game that had been adjusted to the highest difficulty.

It was only then that Duke Granger said respectfully to Erin.

"Your Excellency."

Seeing this, Erin waved his hand, and then said to Duke: "I have already made Nick Fury confess to the evidence of the crimes you revealed to the World Security Council, with the merits of this time, as well as the qualifications you have accumulated in the past, it is not difficult to be promoted to a ninth-level agent, but if you are a tenth-level agent, it depends on luck, of course, even if you are promoted to a tenth-level agent, if you want to sit in the position of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is still far away." ”

When Duke Granger heard this, he immediately said to Erin: "Please help me, I am willing to pay any price." ”

After hearing Duke's words, Erin stood up from Duke's boss chair, then looked at Duke, and said lightly: "You just want to sit in the position of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. so much." ”

"Yes, because only in this way can I truly avenge my dead family."

As he spoke, a long-sealed hatred broke out from the bottom of Duke Granger's heart, and years of forbearance did not diminish the hatred in Duke's heart at all, but nourished it more intensely.

In front of Aylin, Duke Granger did not hide his emotions in the slightest.

Instead, he showed everything about himself in front of Erin.

Because he knew very well that he could not realize the crazy idea in his heart with his own strength alone, and if he could get the support of Erin and really sit in that position, it would probably be the only chance in his life.

"Revenge?"

Erin had a playful look on his face, then looked at Duke Granger and said, "It seems that you don't seem to be planning to kill your enemy simply!" ”

Before taking Duke Granger into custody, Arryn used the information left behind by Alexander Pierce to find out who Duke's enemies were.

Well, a real power general of the military.

And even one of the candidates for the next Minister of Defense of the Federation.

In a military operation, in order to prevent a group of terrorists from causing greater casualties, the other side directly sacrificed dozens of people, including Duke's family, and forcibly killed the group of terrorists with heavy firepower.

Although dozens of people were sacrificed, the other side also saved thousands of civilians because of it.

It's hard to say who is right or who is wrong in this matter, but for Duke, who has lost his wife and daughter, the military general who ordered the missile bombardment of terrorists is an enemy he hates to the core.

Duke once wanted to use judicial channels to get justice for his family.

But in the end, his enemy not only did not receive the slightest reproach, but rose higher and higher through that merit.

And Duke himself, on the contrary, has been suppressed in various ways both openly and secretly because of this.

Even, I almost couldn't even stay in S.H.I.E.L.D.

That's when Duke joined Hydra.

Although joining Hydra allowed Duke to keep the skin of S.H.I.E.L.D., after so many years, no matter how hard Duke Granger tried, he was never promoted.

Even the post was sent to an idle department in logistics.

It is precisely for this reason that when Arryn reintegrated the Hydra members left by Alexander Pierce, Duke, who realized that the opportunity had come, did not hesitate to be the first to join Elryn's command.

Of course.

Erin didn't treat Duke Granger badly, either.

Although on the surface he is still the idle supervisor of logistics with a low sense of existence, secretly, he controls all the members of the Hydra in the Three-Curved Wing Mansion for Erin.

Originally, with so many elite members of Hydra, Duke Granger could have planned a murder and eliminated his enemy if he was really desperate.

But judging by Duke's expression now, it seemed that he didn't intend to let go of that enemy easily.

····························

In the playful expression of Erin, Duke lowered his head and said, "Although I want to avenge my family, I will not cause trouble for adults, this is my promise to swear allegiance to you, and ······ It would be too cheap for that guy to die so inexplicably. ”

"A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, my family is dead, so why should his family live."

"Why is it that the executioner who killed my family can step on the remains of my relatives and rise to prominence, while I, who have dedicated most of my life to the safety of the world, have been suppressed by all kinds of overt and covert."

"Just because he has a good father, and I don't?"

"I don't accept ······"

Under the induction of the telepathic force field.

Even if Erin didn't look Duke Granger in the eye, he could clearly feel the hysterical hatred in his heart.

"Revenge for your family? It's a reason to refuse. ”

After a faint word, Erin slowly walked to the door of Duke's office.

"I will use some means to push you to the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D., but whether you can sit in that position or not depends on you······"

"As for how you want to get revenge, I don't care, but if you need military support, you can go to Kiris, you know where to find her."

Hearing Erin's words, Duke Granger suddenly looked up.

But by this time, Arryn had long been absent from the room, as if he had never appeared.

Looking at the closed office door, Duke Granger, whose eyes were red for a long time, shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you, sir, I won't disappoint you······"

The whispering that echoed in the room was a heartfelt oath and a pledge of trust in Erin.

·································

Shortly after leaving the Triple Wing Building.

Erin, who had changed his face, took a flight to New York with a different identity.

More than an hour later.

Erin, who left the airport, took a taxi and asked him to drop him off in Chinatown.

After tipping the chatty driver away.

Erin, who was just about to walk towards his house, suddenly found a bright yellow figure standing in the shadow of the street lamp next to his house.

After the dim street lamp hit the bright yellow robe, it seemed to dye the robe with a layer of gilded light, which was extremely dazzling, and on the chest of the robe, the brass pendant with a little green light was even more eye-catching.

But whether it was the flow of people passing by the figure or the car, it seemed to ignore the conspicuous figure.

I didn't even roll my eyes in that direction.

Although the figure was wearing a hood that would only show half of her chin, when he saw the iconic object on her chest, Erin was sure who the face hidden under the hood was.

Supreme Mage - Ancient One.

With a slight frown, Erin lifted his steps and continued to walk forward.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

At this time, the ancient one had already found the door, and even if Erin wanted to, it was too late to hide.

When Erin got closer, the Ancient One, who was standing under the street lamp, slowly raised his head, and then showed a gentle smile towards Erin.

"Long time no see, Arryn."

I don't know why, after seeing that gentle smile on Gu Yi's face, Erin's nerves tensed even more.

It seems that this gentle Ancient One at this time is even more terrifying than the Ancient One who exudes a terrifying aura last time I saw.

Although his heart instantly became vigilant, Erin did not show the slightest hint on his face.

Instead, he smiled at Gu Yi: "Is it a long time?" I remember we only met once a while ago. ”

"It may not be long for you, but for me, it's been a long, long time."

After shaking his head, Gu Yi said to Erin again, "Do you mind chatting in another place?" ”

Arryn shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can do it." ”

As soon as Erin's words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

On the busy streets, the vehicles and pedestrians who came and went disappeared in an instant.

Erin turned his head to look, only to see the tall buildings around them suddenly twist and turn, and then turn in an incredible way.

The brick walls, covered with traces of time, were like waves on the sea, and then swept away in all directions.

And the figures of Erin and the Ancient One, in the midst of this tumbling wave, quickly moved towards the horizon.

Supreme Mage's signature spell - Mirror Space.

·······································

Wait until the tide subsides.

Erin discovered.

He and Gu Yi were already standing in a special teahouse at the corner of Chinatown.

It's just that compared to usual.

The teahouse, which was still brightly lit, was empty at this time.

"Sit."

After pointing to a chair that Erin had harvested, the Ancient One sat down opposite Erin to himself.

Seeing this, Erin was not pretentious, and sat directly on the chair that Gu Yizhi pointed to.

Fiddling with the steaming teapot on the table and pouring a cup of tea for Erin, the ancient one said, "Originally, I wanted to wait for you at your house, but then I found out that it was convenient to come here." ”

After hearing the Ancient One's words, a smile appeared in Erin's heart.

Of course, he understood the meaning of the ancient words.

It's just that he found that he couldn't teleport directly to Erin's house, and then he didn't want to break in, so he made the current one and took Erin to the teahouse in this mirror space to communicate.

It seems that his [broken anchor] has not been replaced in vain, at least now Gu Yi can't be quietly and directly introduced to his own home.

Although this does not mean that his house can stop the Ancient One, it at least gives Erin a little more time to prepare.

That's at least a good start for Aylin, isn't it?

With a hint of a smile in his heart, Erin didn't take what Gu Yi said just now, but asked directly, "Master Gu Yi came to me in the middle of the night this time, did he want to say something to me?" ”

In the face of Ai Lin's directness, Gu Yi didn't care, and after picking up a cup of tea that he had poured for himself, Gu Yi lightly spit out a name.

"Loki!"

After hearing the name that Gu Yi spit out, Erin frowned slightly.

Although he wanted to go to Loki to ask for a return on his investment, he hadn't left yet.

Could it be that Gu Yi saw something from the long river of time with the help of the time gem in the eye of Agomoto, so he deliberately came to find him?

Thinking of this, Arryn looked up at the ancient one: "Loki, the second prince of Asgard?" The Ancient One Mage is so good at mentioning him, I heard that he just snatched the Cosmic Rubik's Cube from the custody of S.H.I.E.L.D., DOES THE ANCIENT MAGE WANT ME TO HELP YOU FIND HIM AND THEN TAKE BACK THE COSMIC CUBE IN HIS HANDS? ”

"Nope."

Gu Yi shook his head and said: "The cosmic cube in Loki's hand will be an important node in the future fate, although it will bring a lot of pain, but it will also give birth to a group of heroes." ”

"And those people ······ will be the hope for the future of the planet. ”

Speaking of this, countless phantoms seemed to flash in the eyes of the ancient one, as if he was witnessing something.

This is ······

After listening to Gu Yi's words, Erin seemed to understand why in the original book, Gu Yi obviously had the strength to prevent the outbreak of the New York War, but he silently watched from the sidelines and allowed the New York War to happen.

Does she want to give birth to a group of superheroes who can protect the earth before she dies?

But what does all this have to do with me?
