Chapter 73 - Unreasonable Pestering

After listening to what Nick Fury had said, Chen Chen felt even more repulsed.

Starting with "I'm doing this for your own good—you should listen to me," it truly was the standard Western-style freedom and democracy: a hooligan's way of thinking.

Over the past several decades, under the guidance of this mindset, Western countries had harmed countless nations. In the name of so-called human rights, democracy, and freedom, they had caused hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and displaced tens of millions. Hypocritical and laughable.

And the S.H.I.E.L.D. represented by Nick Fury in the Marvel universe was precisely such a "world police" figure. No matter what the situation was, he insisted on sticking his nose into it—regardless of whether the outcome would be good or bad.

Therefore Chen Chen did not bother being polite. He said coldly,

"If you have something to tell me, then say it quickly. But let me make one thing clear first—I will not join S.H.I.E.L.D., so you'd better stop wasting your effort."

In this world, he was almost completely without attachments. No one could force him to do anything.

If Nick Fury showed a bit of sense, things would be fine. But if he touched Chen Chen's bottom line, then forget the black man in front of him—even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters and its helicarriers, Chen Chen would dare to tear them into pieces.

Nick Fury could see Chen Chen's impatience, so he stopped beating around the bush and said directly,

"Didn't you suffer a sudden attack from two mutants a few days ago? I can tell you that was only the beginning. There will be endless trouble waiting for you next. Someone wants to deal with you—and this person is definitely not someone you can defeat."

"The people targeting me aren't the Brotherhood of Mutants? Someone I absolutely can't defeat… What, did some cosmic god descend to Earth?"

Hearing Fury's words, Chen Chen raised an eyebrow and mocked him lightly.

The "gods" he referred to were the five cosmic entities of Marvel, embodiments of the fundamental laws of the multiverse, each capable of destroying a single universe at will.

Nick Fury naturally had no idea what Chen Chen meant. The two of them were clearly not on the same wavelength. Fury couldn't help but stare at him in shock.

"You actually know about it?"

He assumed that the "god" Chen Chen referred to was Hela, the Goddess of Death of Asgard. He thought Chen Chen had casually revealed Hela's existence, which left him momentarily stunned.

"Why wouldn't I know?"

Chen Chen gave the black man a strange look. It was just the Brotherhood of Mutants—why make such a fuss? This director of S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't seem nearly as composed or cunning as the legends claimed.

Nick Fury fell silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about how he should continue the conversation with Chen Chen.

Chen Chen grew impatient and simply raised his teacup as if to see him out.

"If you have nothing else, you should go back to work. Don't waste the taxpayers' money."

"No, no, no—I still have one more thing to say."

Nick Fury waved his hand, and more than a dozen agents immediately stepped forward. They carefully searched the entire room, checking for surveillance devices and listening equipment. Only after confirming that none were present did they withdraw.

Fury gestured again, and the agents retreated outside the door. Once no one else was around, he began speaking about the second matter he intended to discuss.

Such solemn behavior made Chen Chen somewhat curious.

Could it be that besides the Brotherhood of Mutants, someone else had also set their sights on him?

Who could it be? Hydra? The U.S. military? Or some other major organization?

Nick Fury lowered his voice and said,

"Is the White Queen Emma here? I'd like to meet her."

Because she had only recently left the Hellfire Club, the White Queen had been extremely busy—handling the separation of her assets from the organization. At the same time, in order to avoid the Hellfire Club's investigation, her movements had become very elusive.

Even S.H.I.E.L.D. had been unable to track her whereabouts.

"She's not here. Why are you looking for her?"

Chen Chen's gaze turned somewhat unfriendly.

This black guy had been going around in circles for so long—what exactly was he trying to say?

"She's not here…" Nick Fury looked disappointed.

But as a Level 10 agent, he had many faces for many situations. If the White Queen were here, he would deal with her one way; since she wasn't, he would adopt another strategy.

He looked seriously at Chen Chen and said,

"Chen Chen, you need to understand something. No power in this world can be obtained for no reason. The more you gain now, the greater the price you will pay later."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Chen Chen frowned tightly.

This black man seemed to be hinting at something—but how could S.H.I.E.L.D. possibly know about the system? That was completely impossible.

Seeing Chen Chen's serious expression, Nick Fury smiled inwardly.

Since the White Queen—who was supposedly possessed by Hela—was not present, he needed to find a way to drive a wedge between Chen Chen and her, planting a seed of suspicion between them. It was a common trick used by political manipulators.

He continued,

"The power you're displaying now might actually be overdrawing your body—perhaps even your lifespan. These things are nothing more than the tricks of a devil. If you want to get rid of the devil, you can join us and share information about it. S.H.I.E.L.D. has a lot of experience dealing with things like that."

Of course, he was making it up.

But that didn't stop him from painting a grand picture. If anything really went wrong, they still had Thor as a fallback.

Chen Chen's frown deepened further.

A devil? Overdrawing his lifespan?

What exactly was this black guy talking about?

Unable to hold back his confusion, he interrupted,

"Sorry, but what exactly are you trying to say?"

Being interrupted didn't anger Fury.

"Chen Chen, do you really understand the White Queen? Do you know what's hidden behind her?"

Chen Chen froze for a moment. Then a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"There's nothing behind her. It's very white and very smooth."

Nick Fury fell silent.

"No—that's not what I mean. What I mean is that the White Queen might not be the god you think she is. She might just be a rebel. Staying by her side will only bring you endless trouble."

Seeing that Chen Chen still showed no reaction, Fury stood up.

"I've already said enough. If you ever want to truly get rid of her, you can call this number and find me anytime."

Nick Fury left behind a business card before turning and walking away.

That was as much as he could say. If he said any more, he might expose Thor.

Chen Chen watched the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents leave, then fell into deep thought.

He had clearly heard the hidden meanings in Fury's words earlier—he had simply pretended to argue nonsensically.

Nick Fury had also revealed some information.

It seemed that he knew something about the White Queen that Chen Chen himself did not.

Recalling their conversation, Chen Chen muttered to himself,

"A god… interesting."

"It seems Emma is hiding something else from me. When she comes back, I'll have to give her a proper lesson."

"As for trouble… the thing I fear least is trouble."
