When Coulson entered Mr. Wesker's office, he felt a thick aura of power and indifference permeating the air. The atmosphere in the office was filled with seriousness and a high degree of secrecy, making him feel a hint of tension.
"This seems even more terrifying than the Director!"
Mr. Wesker sat behind a large desk, wearing a sharp suit. His face was like an iron mask, his expression cold and solemn, and his eyes revealed ruthlessness and decisiveness. His deep eyes seemed to hide endless secrets and schemes.
Coulson couldn't deny that Mr. Wesker's appearance left a strong impression on him. He felt a unique aura from Mr. Wesker, an undeniable force and authority. Mr. Wesker's posture was straight and upright, and his whole person exuded an air of confidence and might.
However, Coulson could also feel an elusive sense of mystery emanating from Mr. Wesker. His appearance gave people an unfathomable feeling, as if many unknown secrets were hidden within him.
Coulson pondered inwardly, Mr. Wesker didn't seem like an approachable person. His appearance gave an impression of coldness and ruthlessness, as if he held an indifferent attitude towards the world and others. But within this indifference, a thoughtful wisdom and strategy seemed to be hidden.
Deep down, Coulson was filled with awe and curiosity towards Mr. Wesker. He wanted to know how this man controlled such a vast organization and manipulated various power struggles and conspiracies behind the scenes.
"Coulson. Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Coulson decided to abandon the fake identity he used at the front desk and use his real identity instead.
"Wesker."
Mr. Wesker stood up and shook hands with Coulson.
"So cold."
Coulson felt the extreme coldness of Mr. Wesker's skin.
After they sat down, Coulson said directly, "Mr. Wesker, we found a logo image belonging to your Umbrella Corporation in a hotel at a crime scene in Monaco. Although I know this may have nothing to do with you, according to the Bureau's procedures, I still have to come here and see you."
Mr. Wesker had long known that the other party would come and had been waiting for this day. Looking at Coulson, who exuded a friendly aura, he couldn't help but become interested in the person behind him.
Mr. Wesker nodded and said, "Agent Coulson, your efficiency is truly admirable. However, I hope you understand that Umbrella Corporation is not involved in any illegal activities; we are a legitimate enterprise."
Coulson smiled slightly. He could feel the coldness in Mr. Wesker's eyes that kept people at a distance, and could only say with slightly stronger words, "Mr. Wesker, I believe Umbrella Corporation is not involved in any illegal activities, but as an investigator, I must follow clues and pursue the truth. If you can provide any information beyond this logo image, I would be very grateful." Coulson's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed steadfastness and determination.
Mr. Wesker said calmly, "I also believe Agent Coulson can find the truth of the matter."
Their exchange couldn't be described as good, but neither could it be described as bad. After a very direct conclusion to their conversation, Coulson left the Umbrella Corporation building.
Inside Coulson's beloved car.
"Director, the other party is a difficult person. I can confirm that he is definitely connected to the hotel incident." Coulson could still recall the strong aura emanating from the other party.
"Come back and tell me in detail."
Nick Fury quickly hung up the phone.
On the other side, Mei also came out of the Hawke Group and said to Nick Fury on the phone, "Director, the other party was very cooperative, and no strange things were found."
"Hmm, come back and tell me."
Hanging up the phone, Nick Fury nodded to the Agent who greeted him as he passed by.
"I know you're busy, but I still need to call you over."
Alexander Pierce personally opened the door for Nick Fury.
"Actually, I was coming over anyway."
Nick Fury responded with a slight smile.
"Sit down. The financial reports will be brought over later, and you just need to sign them." Alexander Pierce looked at Nick Fury's bright eyes and quipped, "Hey, I said a lot of good things about you to the council to get that approved."
"Thanks, Alex."
"Although I know I shouldn't ask, I heard from my subordinates that HYDRA has appeared?" Pierce asked cautiously, sitting with half his butt on the table.
"Yes, but it's still under investigation."
Nick Fury looked at Pierce and admitted expressionlessly.
"Be careful."
Nick Fury nodded, still very respectful of his old superior who had helped him advance.
A knock sounded.
"Come in."
A woman in uniform walked in and smiled at Nick Fury.
"Minister."
"Sign for our Director." Pierce took out the pen clipped to his suit pocket, quickly signed, and then pushed it to Nick Fury.
Nick Fury nodded to the lady, took out his pen, signed his name, and handed the report back to the lady.
The lady nodded to both of them and left.
"Received at the usual time." Pierce held up a finger to Nick Fury.
"You help me so much, I don't know how to thank you."
Nick Fury stood up and patted Pierce's arm.
Pierce laughed and cursed, "Ha, you fellow, next time you're on duty, just don't be too arrogant and get complaints. I have quite a few complaint letters piled up against you guys here."
After a few playful remarks, watching Nick Fury's retreating back, Pierce's smile quickly became expressionless.
HYDRA temporary meeting.
Electronic projection.
"I asked Nick Fury, and he hasn't found our people yet, but it has already attracted his attention. S.H.I.E.L.D. is already investigating, and at the same time, I noticed that Nick Fury is taking this very seriously this time." Pierce recalled the other party's use of Agent skills, speaking after controlling his facial expressions to show no emotion.
"I'm suddenly interested in this company." Viper placed her high-heeled boots on the table, looking playfully at Baron Strucker.
"Do you have a plan?" Arnim Zola, wearing a humanoid suit, asked expressionlessly.
"I guess so." Viper fiddled with her fingers, not looking at Arnim Zola's humanoid suit.
"Anything else? If not, I'm logging off." Before the others could finish speaking, Baron Strucker immediately went offline.
The other two looked at Pierce.
"We underestimated their strength; they are very powerful. We must form a United Front. How about exchanging some resources?" Pierce said to the two.
The humanoid suit's face suddenly rippled, then it said, "Your plan is about to begin?"
"More or less." Pierce didn't intend to discuss this topic further with the humanoid suit.
"Your plan is actually quite interesting. Would you like me to add a few more layers of insurance for you?" The humanoid suit became interested, gesturing to Pierce to hurry up and beg him.
"No."
"Alright, I'm also planning to send some people to your side to play around recently. We'll talk about it then. I'm logging off." Viper's projection quickly disappeared.
"Pierce, if you're interested, feel free to contact me anytime." The humanoid suit's face formed a signal expression and then disappeared.
Time passed, and the Superheroes of the Hawk Group continued their acting careers while also being Superheroes.
A group of children were excitedly describing their fantasies of saving the world with Superheroes.
"I think Iron Man is the coolest. A man's romance is mecha (mechanical human). I alone am an army. In the future, computers will control mecha (mechanical human), and I alone can do many things." When this child spoke of saving, images of a hero saving a beauty flashed in his mind. "You are my great hero." The rescued beauty kissed him on the cheek.
"Hehehehehe."
"Bullshit, I think Electro is amazing. He can fly, his whole body can flash with lightning, and he can fight from a distance and up close. He's super cool, okay?"
"Super V is cool too! Haven't you seen the latest trailer for 'Superheroes: V'? The moment Super V raises his hand, the bullets fired at him by the bad guys stop directly in front of the person he's protecting. The people being protected all look at Super V's back with astonished expressions; that feeling of showing off is truly awesome!"
The children chattered, exchanging their admired heroes and desired superpowers.
Until...
"Does anyone like The Invisible Man?"
Suddenly, there was dead silence.
One by one, they blushed and waved their hands, shaking their heads: "No, no, why would I like The Invisible Man? He can only be invisible, that's all."
"Heh heh." The Invisible Man, invisible nearby, pouted. A bunch of hypocritical kids, the hardest part of their whole body is what's below.
Hawk Group.
"Boss." The secretary ran quickly to Nathan Hawke's office. Looking at her boss who was watching her, the secretary said, "According to Rotten Apples' interest level, the feedback for all three of our Superhero trailers has been very enthusiastic. And advance tickets are completely sold out. The promotion for a live-action Superhero movie that's even more special than special effects has truly exploded."
The secretary said excitedly because she clearly knew that only in this matter was she allowed to enter without knocking, and incidentally, to see if there was a chance to flaunt her looks in front of her boss.
"Good, you've worked hard." Nathan Hawke took the documents from the secretary's hand, scanned them at a glance, and nodded with great pleasure.
Nathan Hawke, who had originally reached the point where he could summon, decided to hold back a little longer, until he couldn't hold back anymore.
At the same time.
Ivan Vanko, who had been bailed out of Monaco by Justin Hammer, was enthusiastically establishing his new company.
And at this moment, Vanko Group.
"You're the Japanese man Justin called to help me through the birth phase, named Zhan Ji Lingma?" Ivan Vanko was very dissatisfied with Justin Hammer's unilateral insertion of people, but unfortunately, his company's birth phase indeed required manpower. However, what he needed were administrative positions, not research personnel of the same type as himself.
"No, there are others, I just arrived first." Zhan Ji Lingma smiled slightly, the excitement in his eyes refusing to fade. He wanted to see what kind of nuclear reactor Nathan Hawke sent him to steal. As for the others, they were just people Justin Hammer recruited for Ivan Vanko's Vanko Company through headhunting.
