Chapter 437: Planning
🕑 Added 2024-03-14 07:44:09 +0000 UTCNick Fury looked at Coulson and said, "In addition to the situation in Japan, we need to accelerate the collection of vibranium. The results from Barton's side are excellent, with no side effects whatsoever."
"We need to quickly determine when Charles will conduct his second sale. We need more samples for replication experiments."
"Director, when I contacted Charles last time, he mentioned that there wouldn't be a second sale in the short term. If there is one, he'll get in touch with us."
"Currently, the only available source is from the Hidden Sand Village, but their demand for vibranium is high."
"And I suspect there might be some differences in the composition of the enhancement drugs between the two sides."
Nick Fury nodded, speculating about this. While the effects of items from each ninja village might be similar, their internal compositions could differ.
"We are gathering vibranium from various branches globally and retrieving unused vibranium materials from various laboratories."
"When we have enough vibranium, you'll go to the Sand Puppet Shop to make the purchase."
"Yes, Director!"
...
On the other side, Sitwell looked at the intelligence in his hands and reported to Pierce.
"Sir, Nick Fury has started ordering the collection of vibranium."
"They should have also discovered the situation at the Sand Puppet Shop, where enhancement serums are being sold."
Upon hearing Sitwell's report, Pierce put away his indifferent attitude, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In that case, we need to accelerate our collection of vibranium. Buy what we can and send people to seize what we can't."
"We need to gather enough for the next purchase of enhancement serums before Nick Fury does."
"Yes, Sir."
"Even if Nick Fury manages to buy the enhancement serums, it's fine. He'll have to arrange for personnel to inject them. By then, we'll have our own agents ready."
"Let Nick Fury handle the collection of vibranium for us. In the end, we will be the ones who will win."
Sitwell nodded. Most of S.H.I.E.L.D. now consisted of their people. If they were the ones who got selected to receive the enhancements, they would have a significant advantage.
As for not getting selected, that wasn't possible. They would find a way to temper with the selection process.
Sitwell adjusted his glasses and said, "We used up a considerable portion of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal reserves during the last purchase of enhancement serums and the collection of materials during this period."
Pierce smiled, unconcerned, "We've already made arrangements for that. None of Nick Fury's people can detect any issues. Everything will appear to be normal experimental losses."
"However, when purchasing from the market, we need to prepare in advance. Try not to let him discover it."
"Even if discovered, ensure good cover-up work. Don't let him suspect that someone is hoarding vibranium to purchase enhancement serums."
"Rest assured, Director. I'll handle these arrangements."
Pierce nodded and after giving Sitwell some instructions, he busied himself with other matters.
...
Pakura's actions caused quite a stir, while Kabuto continued learning about the knowledge of the new world within the summoning realm, as well as examining the information on SHIELD.
On the other side-
Japan-
In Osaka Shin-Kai, at the top floor conference room of a skyscraper, the top leaders of the Triad have already gathered.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense. At this moment, one of the leaders spoke up, "How does everyone view today's events?"
"Everyone has seen the photos from the scene. Our men turned into dried corpses. Those were no ordinary people."
Another person chimed in, "Monsters or superpowers?"
At this point, sitting in the main seat, President Ikeda Kazuo spoke up, "Bring Asano Junji and Fujishima Naoto to me."
"Yes!"
As the doors to the conference room opened, Asano Junji and Fujishima Naoto were brought in by two burly men.
"Kneel!"
With a booming command, both Asano Junji and Fujishima Naoto immediately dropped to their knees, not daring to lift their heads.
Ikeda Kazuo's voice resounded again, "Because of you, Fujishima Naoto, the organization suffered enormous losses and may have provoked a powerful enemy."
"Now tell me honestly, how did you two get into a conflict with her today."
"And you, Asano Junji, tell me everything you know. No withholding or fabrication. If I find out you've hidden or lied about anything, you know the rules of the organization."
As Ikeda Kazuo's words fell, Asano Junji was relatively composed, but Fujishima Naoto's body trembled uncontrollably.
Hearing the president's words, the members of the organization realized that their revenge attempt had failed miserably and instead resulted in significant losses. Now they were being investigated for the reasons behind it.
Fujishima Naoto couldn't dare to speak about the actual reason. If the organization found out it was because he mistook her for a hostess in the entertainment district and harassed her, he would be doomed.
As Fujishima Naoto struggled with how to respond, Asano Junji immediately began recounting all the information he knew.
He described how Fujishima Naoto had been beaten to the ground, how they had brought the organization's members to help, only to have half of them killed and the other half injured, and finally how they were robbed of their money.
After Asano Junji finished his account, all the senior leaders nodded in agreement. Asano Junji's handling of the situation was flawless. Then, everyone's gaze fell on Fujishima Naoto, who still knelt with his head down, too terrified to lift it.
Just as they were about to ask Fujishima Naoto to tell the truth, the doors of the conference room were suddenly kicked open, and a group of fully armed field agents rushed in, their submachine guns aimed at everyone present.
The members of the Triad were caught off guard by this turn of events, especially since these people were clearly not from the police or military.
The president of the Triad, Ikeda Kazuo, spoke up, "Who are you, and why are you attacking my Triad headquarters?"
At this moment, Lance Hunter stepped into the room, slowly walking in from outside. He looked at the controlled scene, then spoke, "We are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., responsible for global security and special events."
"Now, there are some things that require your cooperation. Who are Fujishima Naoto and Asano Junji?"
"What is S.H.I.E.L.D., and what gives you the right to act aggressively in Osaka?"
"I'm going to contact the mayor of Osaka to verify your identity."
Lance Hunter directly drew his gun and shot the person who spoke before he could continue. Then, he continued, "Let me ask again, who are Fujishima Naoto and Asano Junji?"
At this moment, Lance Hunter's pistol aimed at one of the leaders, before he could even speak, he heard the person say, "The two on the ground, they are Fujishima Naoto and Asano Junji."
Lance Hunter glanced at the two on the ground, then said, "Take them away!"
Two agents immediately went up to arrest the two individuals and escorted them out of the conference room.
At this point, Lance Hunter also walked out of the conference room, then turned to the special agents inside and said, "Clean up these trash."
As Lance Hunter's words fell, gunfire erupted on the scene. All the senior members of the Triad who attended the meeting were shot dead.
Lance Hunter looked at the special agents beside him and ordered, "Arrange for logistics personnel to come over and clean up the battlefield, and tally the assets."
"Confiscate all their money."
"Yes, sir!"
After arranging everything, Lance Hunter returned to the temporary base of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Osaka with the captured targets.
