Give S.H.I.E.L.D. a New Director?

Twenty minutes later, Pepper was driven back by Happy, and the freshly prepared dinner was quickly served. The whole family of nine sat around the long dining table and began to eat.

Sitting in the head seat, Chen Mo looked at the eight people below, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

He sensed something was wrong as soon as he saw Tony Stark, and after meeting Dr. Ethan, Sharon Rogers, Pepper, and Happy, Chen Mo was even more certain of his guess.

Whether it's Tony or the other four, their physical abilities are still at the level of ordinary people. However, when Chen Mo left, he left them five vials of Super Soldier Serum. Logically, they should now have three times the physical abilities of an ordinary person, just like Natasha Romanoff. How could this be...?

Chen Mo already had a guess in his heart, but he didn't rush to say it. Instead, he waited until everyone had finished their lively dinner before leisurely returning to his room.

Upon opening the door, Chen Mo immediately spotted the box on the table not far from the doorway.

Taking a few steps forward, Chen Mo slowly opened the box. Inside were five neatly arranged blue vials, each with a name written on it: Tony Stark, Sharon Rogers, Dr. Ethan, Pepper, and Happy!

Really!

Clearly, no one else had entered his room since Chen Mo left, nor had they discovered the box of Super Soldier Serum he had left on the table!

Is this the power of a storyline?

He didn't directly give them the Super Soldier Serum that could change their strength level, and as a result, it was overlooked by chance and unexpectedly. Two years have passed and it still hasn't been discovered!

In fact, Chen Mo placed the five Super Soldier Serum in the room without telling everyone, partly to test the power of the movie world's plot. Clearly, as he expected, the movie world did indeed have a certain inertia. If he didn't make any direct changes but merely left some possibilities for altering the plot, then these possibilities would be minimized by the influence of the plot's inertia. Of course, this reduction was within a reasonable range.

Of course, the inertia of this plot is actually quite limited. The things that Chen Mo personally changed cannot be completely corrected. They can only be brought closer to the original plot as much as possible. For example, the changes Chen Mo made to the Captain America world did not affect the plot of the Iron Man world. However, his changes to the Iron Man world, especially the characters Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko related to Iron Man 2, were completely rewritten by him. One was directly blown to ashes, and the other worked for Chen Mo at the HYDRA base. Therefore, the plot of Iron Man 2 did not happen.

The next day, after another lively breakfast prepared by Peggy Carter and Natasha Romanoff, Happy drove Pepper to Stark Industries, while Steve continued to take Sharon to school on his Street 750 motorcycle.

After Peggy Carter and Natasha Romanoff finished cleaning the table, they changed their clothes and drove off to go shopping. Tony Stark, whose fighting spirit had been ignited by Chen Mo the day before, dragged Dr. Ethan downstairs to the lab right after dinner to study the New Element.

As for Chen Mo, after everyone else had left or gotten busy, he leisurely arrived at the underground parking garage, equipped himself with the Iron Man suit, attached his stealth device, and then flew out through the garage passage.

A few minutes later, in the office of Director Howard at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, hidden deep underground in the abandoned factory, Chen Mo plopped down in Howard's chair and looked at Howard was sitting naturally at the desk, and asked him in an annoyed tone.

What are you doing?

Howard shifted his position to find a comfortable spot, and looked blankly at Chen Mo's question.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mo rolled her eyes at him and said bluntly.

"Don't tell me you don't know about Tony's situation? Then I should start to wonder if S.H.I.E.L.D.. needs a new director. Or should I come myself?"

Howard panicked upon hearing this. He was enjoying his role as the behind-the-scenes boss and was unwilling to step down. He quickly moved closer to Chen Mo, fawning over him.

"No, S.H.I.E.L.D. is tired and bored, spending all his time in the base worrying about the whole planet. He's not as carefree as you. Leave the hard work to me. Just tell me what you need!"

When it comes to managing S.H.I.E.L.D.., Howard's ability is definitely among the worst of the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s veterans. He's only slightly better than Dr. Erskine, who is focused entirely on research. It's only because Chen Mo proposed the plan for several people to take turns leading S.H.I.E.L.D.. that he had the opportunity to become the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. secretly controls the world!

To be honest, Chen Mo is the strongest among them in terms of ability, prestige, and influence. If we're talking about the true director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., it should actually be Chen Mo, since S.H.I.E.L.D.. was established at Chen Mo's suggestion.

Although he is now the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., Chen Mo is essentially an emperor emeritus. If Chen Mo were truly dissatisfied with his performance, he could dismiss him with a single word. Therefore, sensing Chen Mo's dissatisfaction, even though he knew Chen Mo was just bluffing, Howard dared not pretend to be stupid anymore and answered honestly.

"Of course I know what you're talking about, that kid's practically killing himself!"

Looking at Howard's nonchalant attitude, Chen Mo couldn't help but say with suspicion.

"Are you sure Tony is your biological son and not an adopted one? Or are you researching biological cloning technology?"

Upon hearing Chen Mo's doubts about his son's "ownership," Howard immediately became agitated and quickly tried to "clear his name."

"Nonsense! Tony is definitely my own son! No doubt about it! Look at his handsome features, his dashing demeanor, and especially that genius brain of his—he inherited 100% of his father's excellent genes!"

Seeing Howard's narcissistic look, Chen Mo nodded, confirming that they were indeed father and son, but then Chen Mo's face fell.

"So you're just going to watch him continue like this? I reckon this kid's already written his suicide note!"

Howard waved his hand dismissively upon hearing this.

"I have his medical reports here. He won't die anytime soon! This brat hasn't made any progress over the years. He was alright when you were here, and he finally changed a bit. But as soon as you left, he started to revert to his old ways. I'm going to take this opportunity to make him suffer a bit and grow. I'll make my move when he's ready."
