First Recharge Reward (Guaranteed 20006000)
After leaving Charlotte Agency, Coulson, along with Natasha, Barton, and the Special Operations Team, immediately returned to Triskelion.
On the way Barton looked at the two men and asked curiously, "How did your talks go?"
At this moment, Coulson, who was driving, replied, "We've obtained a lot of information and need to go back to the station to verify it."
"Natasha, what progress or discoveries have you made on your end?"
After a moment of contemplation, Natasha said, "Based on my observation, the information he provided should not be false, and if he wanted to continue obtaining Energy Block, he wouldn't have lied during the initial quest."
"After all, the questions we asked weren't exactly about any particularly important intelligence."
"In addition, I will also try to build a friendship with him and see if there will be any progress."
Listening to their conversation, Barton placed his longbow in front of him and asked with some curiosity, "What exactly happened in there? From what you're saying, did you perhaps cooperate?"
Barton was right; Coulson had indeed collaborated with Charlotte Agency on intelligence missions.
As for Barbara Morse, who died, she became insignificant in the face of obtaining information. As an agent, Coulson knew better than anyone what it meant to maximize his own interests.
Only after obtaining more information about the other party and formulating a comprehensive plan, and after assessing the gains and losses and confirming everything, will they finally think of Barbara Morse.
Only then will Barbara Morse's death be used as a reason to start the war—and that will be just one reason.
Before that, Barbara's matter needs to be put aside for now. After all, countless agents are sacrificed in the department every year. Does the department have to launch a full-scale attack for every undercover spy's death? Obviously not.
"Barton, you'll know the details when we get back to the station and report to the Director. That way, we won't have to explain it twice."
When Barton heard Coulson say he would inform him after returning to the station, Barton knew things might be heading in the direction he least wanted.
Barton, expressionless, wiped his longbow and said in a completely emotionless voice, "Understood!"
Natasha glanced at Barton beside her and sensed that he wasn't in a good mood, but she didn't say anything more.

On the other side.
Inside Charlotte Agency.
After Charlotte saw Coulson and the others leave, she entered the System Space.
Opening the Task Gathering Hall, I found that the three B-Rank Mission I just submitted are now all marked as completed.
Click to claim.
Ding! Mission complete, reward received:
2000 Prestige, 200,000 copper coins, and a regular Treasure Chest.
2000 Prestige, 200,000 copper coins, and a regular Treasure Chest.
2000 Prestige, 200,000 copper coins, and a regular Treasure Chest.
Charlotte was very satisfied with the 6,000 Reputation Points she had gained. She immediately exited the System Space and looked at the Energy Block on the table. She wanted to test whether these items could be used for recharging and how much an Energy Stone was worth.
Charlotte casually picked up an Energy Stone and immediately heard a system notification.
Ding! New energy detected. Recharge now?
Top up!
Ding! Top-up successful! You have received 180+180 Gold Coin!
Upon hearing that it was 180+180, Charlotte immediately entered the System Space to check and discovered that it was a first-time recharge bonus of 180 Gold Coin.
Seeing this information, Charlotte was somewhat annoyed, as the first recharge bonus for Dragon Bone was doubled. Then she realized that there didn't seem to be an 840 tier before she came here.
Charlotte thought back and realized that only the tiers of 6, 18, 25, 50, 98, 168, 328, and 648 offered double rewards for the first purchase.
However, one Energy Block can be exchanged for 180 Gold Coin, which Charlotte felt was quite a good value. But if you want to get the first recharge reward, you only need 648.
After all, only 648 is 36 times 18; the others are not divisible. It seems that next time I meet S.H.I.E.L.D.., I'll need to raise the price and get more Energy Block.
Once again exiting the System Space, Charlotte didn't hesitate at all and immediately recharged all the Energy Block.
Ding! Top-up successful! You have received 2520 Gold Coin!
At this moment, all the Energy Block on the table had disappeared, and Charlotte's Gold Coin had increased to 2944, enough for a ten-pull recruitment.
Charlotte didn't conduct the ten-recruitment spree in the lobby; he planned to go back to his room first.
Just as Charlotte was about to get up and leave, Umino Iruka approached, stood respectfully before Charlotte, and said, "Lord Charlotte, all the agents outside have withdrawn."
"Not a single one was left?"
After Iruka said, "From my investigation, there's basically no one left behind, unless they're using some kind of technological means to monitor us."
"Okay, I understand."
"Tell everyone to go back to what they're doing. There's no need to stay here. We've reached a temporary reconciliation with the other side."
"A temporary reconciliation?" Iruka noted the question and then said, "Understood, Lord Charlotte!"
Iruka then withdrew and notified the others to lift the alert.
After giving Iruka his instructions, Charlotte left the Rest Area and headed towards her room.
······
Just then, Coulson, who had just returned to Triskelion, was about to take the elevator upstairs when he ran into Sitwell and Brock Rumlow, who were coming out of the elevator.
The two sides simply nodded to each other in greeting, without exchanging words.
Clearly, Coulson was unaware that the other party's destination was the Charlotte Agency, which he had just visited.
Coulson and his two companions quickly took the elevator to Nick Fury's office.
Thump thump thump
"Enter!"
After a few knocks, Coulson led Barton and Natasha into Nick Fury's office.
What information was obtained?
Coulson immediately recounted all the information he had obtained, also letting Barton and Nick Fury know what information they had received in exchange for the Energy Block.
"Director, based on this intelligence and the information previously sent back, we can basically confirm that the ninjas of Hidden Leaf Village are different from the Japan ninjas we knew before."
"Whether they are ninjas from the now-extinct the Hand or the Chaste, although they are all called ninjas, they are not the same."
"However, the ninjas currently appearing around Charlotte Doyle are mostly of Asian appearance, and based on the information they've revealed, I suspect they might be from a village founded during World War I or World War II to escape the fighting."
"Of course, we can't rule out an earlier era, but I suspect their location isn't in Japan. After all, we've already figured out that place. If such a group existed, we couldn't possibly be unaware of it."
"However, I still suggest checking the records from that period to see if we can find any Silk, since that's the only place that uses that name."
