S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Who could it be?"

Far away in America, in a secret base, Nick Fury narrowed his eyes as he looked at the report in his hand.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. — no, the current S.H.I.E.L.D. was still called the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau, a very long and complicated name.

Nick Fury's intelligence capabilities were extremely powerful, so he knew from the very beginning that General Ross was planning to intercept Chen Mu.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was originally a subordinate organization of the UN Security Council, and China was also a permanent member of the Security Council. By rights, since Chen Mu was an important figure in China, S.H.I.E.L.D. should have intervened to stop the US military from trying to arrest him.

Although the current S.H.I.E.L.D. received funding from the Security Council, all its actions were for America. Simply put, the current S.H.I.E.L.D. had become an American organization.

Therefore, even though they knew the US military wanted to arrest Chen Mu, S.H.I.E.L.D. deliberately ignored the news, turning a blind eye and not preparing to stop it.

At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. was also very interested in Chen Mu's armor. If General Ross could obtain Chen Mu's armor, it would be good news for S.H.I.E.L.D.

This would also mean that S.H.I.E.L.D. could obtain the armor's data from General Ross.

This was a win-win situation for both the US military and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury had been coveting Tony Stark's Iron Man armor for a long time.

He also wanted to get Tony's armor, but obviously, there was no opportunity.

As long as Tony Stark didn't want to give the armor to anyone else, S.H.I.E.L.D. had no chance at all.

Therefore, Nick Fury naturally turned his attention to Chen Mu.

Compared to the powerful force of Stark Industries, Chen Mu was clearly much easier to bully.

Thus, the fact that the US military could intercept Chen Mu so stealthily and cut off all surrounding signals was also the result of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s deliberate non-interference.

They didn't give any warning to China or Chen Mu in the Security Council.

They even secretly fanned the flames, helping the US military establish a signal isolation zone.

It was just that Nick Fury hadn't expected that the four F22 fighter jets that suddenly appeared would disrupt everything.

The US military had dispatched a total of 12 fighter jets, but they couldn't keep Chen Mu and the other person. In the 12-on-4 air battle, a total of eight fighter jets were shot down.

In the end, Chen Mu and the other person were able to leave with ease.

"Chen Mu's armor seems to be stronger than Tony Stark's."

Nick Fury had a very sharp eye. Comparing the Mark 3 and Chen Mu's Kirin Armor, he easily discovered the differences between the two.

"China has very strict controls on weapons, so Chen Mu's Kirin Armor doesn't seem to have any powerful firepower. In this regard, it's far inferior to our weapons genius Tony Stark. However, purely in terms of other performance, Chen Mu's armor is more powerful than Tony's."

Nick Fury had been paying full attention to the speed comparison between the Mark 3 and the Kirin Armor earlier. Although Tony Stark's Mark 3 armor won in the end, Nick Fury could see that Tony had only narrowly won by disregarding energy consumption.

If used under normal circumstances, the Mark 3 would definitely lose.

"It seems that China has also produced a remarkable figure."

Commander Hill, standing beside him, couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Mu was someone who was not much inferior to Tony Stark, which made Hill somewhat amazed.

"What's interesting is that according to Chen Mu's resume, he has never shown any talent. He can even be described as very ordinary. The school he attended was only a second-rate school in China, making it hard to imagine how he mastered these high-tech technologies."

On Nick Fury's desk was a document, which was precisely the information about Chen Mu.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was far away in America, it was very easy to find Chen Mu's past information.

Although the Chinese government had concealed Chen Mu's information, the information Nick Fury obtained was the most authentic.

Was it impersonation?

Thinking of a certain alien race from memory, Nick Fury couldn't help but have this thought.

"The current situation is that Chen Mu's Kirin Armor is about to be delivered to the Chinese military. This is not good news. Powerful armor will definitely trigger an arms race between countries, which will impact the global economy."

Hill, standing beside him, couldn't help but frown and say.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was naturally very clear about Chen Mu's actions.

"The armor was created by Chen Mu. No one has the right to stop him from giving it to whomever he wants."

Nick Fury shook his head calmly and continued without any fluctuation, "Besides, China is not a pushover. They have already made their decision, and no person or country can stop them."

"..." Hill remained silent. This was a fact.

"Prepare to head to China. Since the Chinese military has the opportunity to obtain the Kirin Armor, it means we also have an opportunity."

Nick Fury stood up. Being very covetous of the armor, he naturally wanted to obtain it.

"..."

Hill didn't speak, but in her heart, she felt that this matter was not very reliable.

Chen Mu handed over the armor to the military and didn't seem to have charged any money. Simply put, Chen Mu's actions were purely patriotic. S.H.I.E.L.D. wanting to obtain the Kirin Armor was wishful thinking.

"Do you think I'm being delusional?" Seeing Commander Hill's expression, Nick Fury easily guessed her thoughts and calmly continued.

"As long as he doesn't hoard the armor like Tony Stark, there will always be an opportunity."

"Moreover, my goal is to obtain it from the Chinese military, not from Chen Mu. After all, China is also a member of the Security Council, and as its subordinate organization, we naturally have the opportunity to get the armor from them."

Hearing this, Hill was even more speechless.

You also know that S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization under the Security Council.

Have S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions always been in line with the Security Council's directives? Has S.H.I.E.L.D. ever fulfilled its duties?

"But we didn't stop the US Military's actions before, so I imagine China's high command is displeased with us. If we try to request the armor now, it will be extremely difficult."

"The US Military wanted to secretly arrest Chen Mu, and we didn't receive any intelligence. How could we have stopped it?"

Nick Fury said calmly.

"From beginning to end, we never received any information."

Good heavens, Nick Fury just completely absolved himself of responsibility. His ability to lie with a straight face made Commander Hill beside him feel ashamed.

As expected of the Director, when it comes to thick skin, you're the best.
