Leo looked at everyone's gaze fixed on him.
Then he glanced at the three Blade Chips on the table.
A trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes, but in the end, he still spoke.
"Director Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are far too tightly intertwined right now. Completely separating them is unrealistic. If Hydra doesn't expose itself, no one will know who exactly its members are!"
As he spoke, Leo reached into his clothes and took out a chip as well.

Leo looked at everyone and shrugged.
Hill and Fury, who were standing to the side, rolled their eyes deeply at Leo's words, but said nothing more.
"J.A.R.V.I.S. will oversee the entire
