Chapter 146 Return Gift
🕑 Added 2023-10-19 06:38:46 +0000 UTCBarbara Morse chose to admit of her being a shield agent, not for any other reason but to hope to intimidate Charles Doyle through her identity as a special agent.
After all, she had known before that Coulson had already met with Charles and had briefly mentioned their department.
She believes that even if he had the intention to kill her, considering her identity, at most, she would only be tortured, unless Charles Doyle didn't want to stay in New York.
At this moment, Umino Iruka frowned slightly. Others might not understand this organization, but he had received another agent, Coulson, from this organization before.
And for a period of time, the office had been under the other side's surveillance, but for some unknown reason, the surveillance was withdrawn after a period of time.
At this moment, everyone's expressions were different, all looking at their boss, Charles Doyle.
How to resolve this matter primarily depended on their boss's thoughts.
Charles leaned back in the chair, adopting a comfortable posture and wearing a smile on his face, and said, "So you're Coulson's colleague."
Upon hearing Charles mention Coulson's name, Barbara's heart settled down. It seemed that this time, there would be no real danger.
Charles looked at Barbara kneeling in front of him and continued, "However, the result of the matter may be different from what you expected."
"Iruka, take this special agent lady down for execution, send her head to our good old friend, Agent Coulson, and ask him for an explanation."
After speaking, Charles threw a business card at Iruka, which was Coulson's business card, containing his contact information.
At this moment, Barbara, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Charles's words and immediately spoke, "Are you trying to start a war with us by doing this?"
"What's in it for you?"
Charles, however, didn't care in the slightest and said, "Madam, espionage is not protected anywhere."
"Moreover, if you want to know something, why not come openly and honestly? Even though I may not tell you, I won't harm you, will I?"
Charles subtly implied Coulson's visit. If you come to visit me openly and honestly, perhaps I will generously tell you something, but trying to obtain information through espionage is impossible.
If Charles weren't aware that this was the Marvel universe, with many entities he couldn't currently provoke, it would be easy for Charles to transform this spy organization to ruins.
Furthermore, even in the Marvel universe, this so-called S.H.I.E.L.D., was not beyond provocation, even if Nick Fury had a power helper behind him.
Iruka, on the side, took the business card and directly took Barbara away, without giving her any opportunity to speak.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene was solemn. Through the past half month, Uzumaki Naruto had grown a lot through some tasks and didn't make a scene in this situation.
In the queue, Ginny's face became very ugly when Barbara was determined to be a spy.
After all, this person was chosen by her. When hearing that the other party was a special agent and was taken away for execution by Iruka, Ginny had to step out of the queue and speak.
"Boss, I was also at fault in this matter. It was my misjudgment of people."
Looking at Ginny, who stepped forward to take responsibility for her mistake, Charles had no intention of pursuing it. He instead said, "I've thought about it, the task of accepting the mission commission is still very important."
"Besides, the office still needs to keep one person to handle emergencies. I'll leave this to Iruka!"
"As for the existence of spies, there will definitely be organizations sending people over. When you are recruiting, you should be discerning and do counter-espionage work well."
Charles knew that as their organization expanded, there would definitely be some people with ulterior motives, and he couldn't rely on ninjas for everything. Should chefs, waiters, and doormen all be ninjas? That's unrealistic.
But he at least wanted to eliminate the existence of spies around him and among the higher-ups.
Upon hearing Charles's instructions, everyone nodded in agreement. Ginny, in particular, made a decision in her heart to carefully review the files of the people selected earlier to avoid similar incidents as much as possible, otherwise, it would be a slap in her face.
By now, Iruka had already beheaded Barbara and put her head in a box, then returned to the operations room.
"Lord Charles, I have executed the request as you asked. Tomorrow, I will send someone to deliver the things to Agent Coulson."
"However, our actions are also a provocation. After receiving the items, the other party may choose to go to war with us."
Upon hearing Iruka's words, everyone agreed, especially Ginny and the others, who were somewhat worried. They were not like ninjas, with exaggerated abilities and strong physical fitness.
They were very aware of the problems they would face when fighting against a national violent agency, especially such a special agent organization.
On the contrary, the five members of the ninja team didn't care about this so-called special organization.
In their eyes, it was just a group of ordinary people. Even if it was a large-scale special organization, it was still just a group of ordinary people.
Upon hearing Iruka's words, Charles nodded in approval and, after a moment of contemplation, said, "Ginny, mobilize all the congressmen and the mayor we support for administrative lobbying."
"Direct the direction of charitable funds towards the areas they support, and don't give this damn special organization any chance to make a counter-move."
Charles didn't want Nick Fury to directly define him as a terrorist with a piece of lawsuit and close his Continental Hotel with false charges.
It was okay to fight, but it needed to be controlled between him and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Charles knew that members of parliament, as well as agencies like CIA, FBI, and the police department, all disliked this not-yet-renamed S.H.I.E.L.D.
And he just needed to prevent them from defining and convicting him.
"Understood. I will immediately start lobbying the congressmen so that they don't give the other party the opportunity to use official means."
Then, Charles briefed the others on the battle plan, including how to counter if the other party used force to attack, and so on.
…
Elsewhere-
Coulson, holding the materials in his hands, knocked on Nick Fury's office door.
The door opened, and Coulson quickly walked up to Nick Fury and handed him the materials.
Nick Fury took the documents and immediately began to look through them, especially focusing on the key parts.
