Reciprocity

Barbara Morse directly revealed her identity, hoping to intimidate Charlotte Doyle by using her status as a secret agent.

After all, she had known before that Coulson had met with Charlotte and briefly mentioned their department.

Given Charlotte Doyle's intelligence, even if he wanted to kill her, he would at most torture her out of consideration for her status, unless Charlotte Doyle no longer wanted to stay in New York.

At this moment, Umino Iruka frowned slightly. Others might not know about this organization, but he had received another agent from this organization before— Coulson.

Furthermore, the Agency was monitored by the other party for a period of time, but for some unknown reason, the monitoring was lifted after a while.

At this moment, everyone had different expressions and all looked at their BOSS, Charlotte Doyle.

How to resolve this matter mainly depends on your boss's thoughts.

Charlotte leaned back in her chair, finding a comfortable position, and said with a smile, "So you're Coulson's colleague."

Hearing Charlotte mention Coulson's name, Barbara felt relieved; it seemed this was at most a close call.

Charlotte looked at Barbara kneeling before her and continued, "However, the outcome may not be what you expect."

"Iruka, take this female agent away and execute her. Deliver her head to our good-natured Agent Coulson and demand an explanation from him."

After speaking, Charlotte tossed a Business Card to Iruka. It was Coulson's Business Card, with his contact information on it.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Barbara, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately retorted, "Are you trying to start a war with us?"

What's in it for you?

Charlotte, however, remained unfazed, saying, "Madam, espionage is never protected, no matter where you are."

"Besides, what do you want to know? Can't you come openly and honestly?"

"Although I may not tell you, I won't hurt you, will I?"

Charlotte was alluding to Coulson's visit. "If you come to my door and ask me openly, I might mercifully tell you something, but trying to obtain information through espionage is impossible."

If Charlotte hadn't known this was Marvel, with too many entities he couldn't afford to offend for the time being, in another world, Charlotte would have been a merciful figure to this disruptive intelligence organization, even turning into an ancestor or Homelander.

Moreover, even within the Marvel World, this so-called S.H.I.E.L.D.. is not something to be trifled with, even if Nick Fury possesses Captain Marvel's Pager.

After Iruka took the Business Card, he immediately led Barbara away without giving her a chance to speak.

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn. Over the past two weeks, Naruto Uzumaki had grown a lot through the trials of missions and did not shout or yell in this setting.

Ginny, standing in the queue, looked extremely grim when Barbara was identified as a spy. After all, she was the one who had chosen her, and especially after hearing that Barbara was an agent and had been taken away and executed by Iruka, Ginny had no choice but to step out of the queue and say:

"Boss, I was also at fault in this matter; I misjudged people."

Seeing Ginny step forward to take responsibility for her mistake, Charlotte didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, she said, "I've thought about it, and the acceptance of mission requests is still very important."

"Besides, the Agency still needs to keep someone on hand to deal with emergencies, so let's leave this to Iruka!"

"As for spies, organizations will definitely continue to send people over. When you recruit people, you must do a good job of screening and counter-espionage."

Charlotte knew that as an organization expands, there will inevitably be some people with ulterior motives among its members. He couldn't possibly use ninjas for everything. Was it realistic to use ninjas for the chefs, waiters, and doormen?

However, he wanted to eliminate spies from his inner circle, and even from among those at higher levels.

Upon hearing Charlotte's instructions, everyone nodded in agreement. Ginny, in particular, resolved to thoroughly review the files of the previously selected individuals.

We must do everything we can to prevent a similar incident from happening again, otherwise it would be a slap in her face.

By this time, Iruka had already beheaded Barbara, put her head into a box, and returned to the War Room.

"Lord Charlotte, I have executed the other party as you requested. I will send the items to Agent Coulson tomorrow."

"However, our actions are also a provocation; the other side might choose to go to war with us after receiving the goods."

Hearing Iruka's words, everyone agreed, but Ginny and the others felt a little worried, because they were not like ninjas with exaggerated abilities and strong physical attributes.

They are acutely aware of the challenges of fighting state law enforcement agencies, especially intelligence organizations like these.

On the contrary, the five members of the ninja team did not care about this so-called special agent organization. In their eyes, they were just a group of ordinary people. Even if it was a large-scale special agent organization, it was still just a large-scale group of ordinary people.

Hearing Iruka's words, Charlotte nodded in agreement. After a moment's thought, she said, "Ginny, mobilize all the council members we have connections with, as well as the Mayor of New York whom we support, for executive lobbying."

"We can direct charitable donations towards the areas they support, preventing this damn intelligence organization from having the opportunity to use underhanded tactics."

Charlotte, however, did not want Nick Fury to simply file a lawsuit labeling him a terrorist and shut down his the Continental Hotel on trumped-up charges.

There's no problem with fighting, but we need to control the S.H.I.E.L.D..

Charlotte knew that members of Congress, and even the CBI, IFB, and police departments, all disliked this S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't yet changed its name.

All he needs to do is prevent the other party from defining or convicting him.

"Understood. I will immediately lobby the members of parliament to prevent them from using the official name."

Charlotte then explained the battle plan to everyone, including how to counter a surprise attack if the enemy used force.

On the other side.

Coulson, holding the materials in his hand, knocked on the door of Nick Fury's studio.

The Room Door opened, Coulson strode up to Nick Fury, handing him the documents he was holding.

Nick Fury took the documents and immediately began to read them.

He carefully read through each and every one of the key standards, especially the ones that were important.
