A Woman's Revenge Lasts All Day
Coulson gave Catherine a meaningful look, then said seriously, "Could we contact Charlotte Doyle now?"
"This intelligence was very important to us, and we lost 22 excellent Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because of it."
"And this ninja is committing inhumane Carnage in Africa."
"I believe this is definitely not a misunderstanding."
Seeing Coulson become serious, Catherine remained unchanged and said, "You can choose to commission an intelligence report. After you write down the task, I will report it."
"Once we have the results, our people will contact you."
Seeing this formulaic answer, Coulson sighed, then left behind a leather suitcase containing 150 Energy Block, and said:
"This is the payment for the intelligence request. Thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Catherine."
After speaking, Coulson picked up his things, said goodbye, and left.
Since he couldn't get the answer he wanted here anytime soon, Coulson decided to try another place. After all, Charlotte Agency wasn't the only place with intelligence and consulting services; there was also the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.
Catherine accepted the Energy Block left by Coulson and said with a smile, "Thank you for your patronage. If you don't get the answer you're looking for, you can come back for further information."
After leaving Charlotte Agency and getting into a S.H.I.E.L.D.. vehicle, Coulson immediately ordered, "To the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."
Meanwhile, Catherine returned to the service counter with a box of Energy Block.
Upon seeing Catherine return, Michael immediately asked, "Is the intelligence mission complete?"
"It's done. These are all the things Lord Charlotte needed."
Catherine picked up the phone at the front desk and dialed Ginny directly.
"Golden Secretary, I'm Catherine from the Agency."
"Catherine, does the Agency have any special commissions or assignments?"
"Agent Coulson. S.H.I.E.L.D. came by, conducted some simple mission requests, and left behind 150 Energy Block."
"These Energy Block need to be received by Golden Secretary and brought back to Lord Charlotte."
Upon hearing that it was Energy Block, Ginny nodded on the other side.
"Okay, I'll send someone over to receive it."
"What kind of mission does S.H.I.E.L.D.. have now that requires 150 Energy Block as a deposit?"
"Golden Secretary, it's not a deposit. Coulson consulted three people about Werewolf, and I just told them directly."
"Furthermore, I am aware of your order to investigate the group that attacked Moses; those people were S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents."
"They were ordered to protect Jane, but they clashed with Moses and his men. Coulson said it was a misunderstanding."
"Besides that, Coulson asked about a strange ninja, but I've never seen this ninja before, so I can't tell him anything."
"Agent Coulson, seeing that I couldn't give him an answer immediately, simply took his leave."
Upon hearing that the group that attacked Moses was actually S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents, Ginny's expression turned grim.
He had previously boasted that he would uproot and completely wipe out the other party's organization, but now he was unable to fulfill his promise.
Even so, Ginny wasn't going to let the S.H.I.E.L.D.. guys get away with it. After all, someone who attacked her with heavy weapons deserved an explanation.
"Okay, I understand."
"They left here, probably to gather intelligence at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."
"I'll send ninjas over later to take the Energy Block. Thank you all for guarding the Agency during this time."
After reporting what had happened to Ginny, Catherine hung up the phone.
Ginny, inside the base, gazed at the sealed-off building in the distance, pondering whether to wait for Charlotte to wake up before demanding an explanation, or to do so now.
After thinking it over for a moment, Ginny made up her mind. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, while a villain takes revenge from morning till night, and she was no gentleman.

Coulson left Charlotte Agency and quickly arrived at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop by car.
Upon arriving at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, Coulson went straight to the service counter and Gate of Opening Temari:
"Give me a Puppet first; I have some questions I need to ask."
Temari looked at the travel-worn Coulson with a smile on her face and said, "No problem."
Pointing to the sofa beside him, he said, "The usual place?"
Coulson didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the sofa to sit down.
Temari walked over, holding a Puppet in her left hand and an hourglass with a one-minute timer in her other.
Temari turned the hourglass upside down and placed it directly on the table.
"Time has begun. Let's discuss your questions."
Seeing that the timekeeping device had been changed to an hourglass, Coulson did not hesitate. He immediately took out a tablet from his briefcase, opened several photos of Hidan, and showed them to Temari.
"Which ninja village does this ninja come from?"
What do the scratches on Headband signify?
What kind of strength does he possess?
"Is he protected by the extraordinary power of a ninja?"
"And what exactly does his behavior mean, and how can we stop him?"
Coulson asked five questions in rapid succession, while Temari picked up her tablet and looked at the photos on it: Hidan, Headband, the scene of the sacrifice, and the circular talisman left after the sacrifice.
Looking at the photos, Temari frowned slightly. She didn't know who the people in the photos were, nor did she know anything about this ninja, and she had never seen this ninja with Lord Charlotte.
He thought to himself, "Could these be the ninjas that Lord Charlotte brought from the Ninja World recently?"
Why is it a ninja from a small place like Yugakure this time? Looks like he's also found himself in an unfamiliar place, just like me?
After thinking for a moment, Temari spoke:
"This was a ninja from Yugakure, but he probably has no connection with Yugakure anymore."
Upon hearing that it was yet another unfamiliar ninja village, Coulson thought to himself, "Just as I thought." Indeed, the different markings on his Headband represented different ninja villages.
"Why is it said that he came from Yugakure, but now he has no connection with Yugakure?"
Temari opened the photo of Headband Hidan his neck, and then pointed to the scratches on the Headband and said:
"He is now a missing-nin."
"If a ninja betrays his village, he will carve a mark on his Headband to indicate that he is a missing-nin and that he has no connection with his village from then on."
Coulson asked in surprise, "missing-nin?"
"Yes, a ninja who betrays his own village is missing-nin."
