Scheming

Nick Fury looked at Coulson and said, "Besides the Japan, we need to hurry up with the issue of the Physical Enhancement Serum. The results with Barton are excellent, with no side effects whatsoever."

"Determine as soon as possible when Charlotte will conduct a second sale; we need samples for replication experiments."

"Director, we contacted Charlotte last time, and she said there won't be any further sale in the near future. If she does decide to sell, she'll contact us."

"Right now, the only place we can buy it is from Sunagakure, but their demand for Vibranium is huge."

"And I suspect there might be some differences in the Physical Enhancement Serum used on both sides."

Nick Fury nodded. He had a hunch about this; the effects of the items from each ninja village might be similar, but the actual internal components would differ.

"We are mobilizing Vibranium from our global branches and reclaiming any unused Vibranium materials previously applied for by our Laboratory."

"Once you have enough Vibranium, go to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to purchase it."

"Yes, sir!"

······

Meanwhile, Sitwell looked at the intelligence in his hand and reported to Pierce.

"Sir, Nick Fury has begun ordering the collection of Vibranium."

"They must have also discovered that the Sunagakure Puppet Shop is selling Physical Enhancement Serum."

Upon hearing Sitwell's report, Pierce abandoned his nonchalant attitude, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, let's speed up the collection of Vibranium. Buy what we can, and send people to rob what we can't."

"We need to raise enough funds to buy more Physical Enhancement Serum before Nick Fury does."

"Yes, sir."

"Even if Nick Fury manages to get the enhancer, it doesn't matter. He'll still have to arrange for people to administer the injections. We can just assign our own agents then."

"Let Nick Fury collect Vibranium for us; in the end, we won't be the ones who suffer."

Sitwell nodded. S.H.I.E.L.D.. was mostly staffed by their own people, so if they were to select people to receive the Physical Enhancement Serum, their people would have a significant advantage.

As for not conducting a selection process, that's impossible; they will find a way to proceed with the selection process when the time comes.

Sitwell adjusted his glasses and then said, "Our last purchase of the Physical Enhancement Serum, and the materials we've been collecting lately, have utilized a significant portion of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s internal reserves."

Pierce chuckled, unconcerned, and said, "This was all arranged long ago. Nick Fury's men won't be able to detect the slightest problem; it's all just wear and tear from regular experiments."

"However, when making acquisitions on the market, it's necessary to prepare in advance and try to prevent him from discovering that someone else is also acquiring Vibranium."

"Even if we are discovered, we must do a good job of covering up and not let him suspect that someone is hoarding Vibranium to buy Physical Enhancement Serum."

"Sir, please rest assured, I will arrange all of this."

Pierce nodded, then gave Sitwell some instructions before getting busy with other matters.

······

While Pakura caused quite a stir, Yakushi Kabuto, on whom Charlotte had placed high hopes, was in the Summoning Realm, continuing to learn about the new world and reviewing S.H.I.E.L.D..'s intelligence.

On the other side.

Japan.

In the Osaka New District, the top leaders of the Triads had gathered in a conference room on the top floor of a building.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat tense. At this moment, one of the leaders spoke up, "What do you all think about what happened today?"

"Everyone has seen the photos from the scene. His men were all mummified; they weren't ordinary people at all."

Another person spoke up, "Monster or superpower?"

At this moment, the chairman, Ida Kazuyasu, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke up, "Bring up Asano Junji and Fujishima Naoto."

"Yes!"

As the conference room door opened, Asano Junji and Fujishima Naoto were carried in by two burly men.

Kneel down!

With a loud bang, Asano Junji and Fujishima Naoto both knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Ida Kazuyasu's voice rang out again. "Because of you, Fujishima Naoto, the gang has suffered huge losses and may have even provoked a powerful enemy."

"Now tell me honestly, how did you have a conflict with her today?"

"And you, Asano Junji, tell me everything you know, without any reservations or alterations. If I find out you've concealed anything or lied, I'm sure you know the club's Rules."

As the chairman finished speaking, Asano Junji was alright, but Fujishima Naoto's body began to tremble.

Hearing the chairman's words, the gang members realized they hadn't succeeded in avenging him; instead, they had suffered huge losses and were now investigating the reason.

As for the specific reason, Fujishima Naoto dared not reveal it. If the gang knew that the cause was simply that he mistook the other person for Kabukicho and actively harassed her, he would be doomed.

At this moment, Fujishima Naoto was thinking about what to say, but Asano Junji immediately told him everything he knew.

Seeing Fujishima Naoto beaten to the ground, he led his gang members to help, but they were half killed and half injured before being robbed of their money.

As Asano Junji explained, all the high-ranking leaders nodded in agreement. Asano Junji's approach was flawless. Then, everyone's gaze fell on Fujishima Naoto was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Just as everyone was about to ask Fujishima Naoto to tell the truth, the conference room door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of fully armed field agents rushed in, their submachine guns aimed at everyone present.

The Triads members were completely taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, especially since these people were clearly not police or military personnel.

The Triads president, Ida Kazuyasu, spoke up, "Who are you? Why did you attack my Triads headquarters?"

At that moment, Lance Hunter slowly walked in from outside the door, looked at the scene that had been brought under control, and then said, "We are Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.., responsible for global security and special events."

"There are some things that require the cooperation of your Triads. Who are Fujishima Naoto and Asano Junji?"

"What kind of organization is S.H.I.E.L.D..? What gives them the right to commit violence in Osaka?"

"I need to contact the mayor of Osaka to verify your identities."

Lance Hunter drew his gun and shot the man who had spoken dead, then continued, "I'll ask you one more time, who are Fujishima Naoto and Asano Junji?"

At that moment, Lance Hunter's pistol was aimed at one of the leaders. Before he could speak, the leader said, "The two on the ground, they are Fujishima Naoto and Asano Junji."

Lance Hunter glanced at the two men on the ground, then said, "Take them away!"

Two agents immediately apprehended the two men and took them out of the conference room.

At this moment, Lance Hunter also walked out of the conference room, then turned to the agents inside and said, "Clean up this junk."

As soon as Lance Hunter finished speaking, gunfire erupted, and all the high-ranking Triads attending the meeting were shot dead.

Lance Hunter glanced at the agent beside him and ordered, "Send logistics personnel over to clean up the battlefield and inventory the assets."

"Confiscate all their money and put it into the treasury."

"Yes, sir!"

After making the arrangements, Lance Hunter returned to the S.H.I.E.L.D.. temporary base in Osaka with the target in mind.
