Female... Girlfriend?

Meanwhile.

On the helipad atop the Triskelion Building.

Surrounded by Carl and the Blood Raven Battle Group, Arthur walked toward the nearby DR-7 Transport Boat, with himself at the center.

However, Carl, who had been walking alongside Arthur the entire time, now wore a slight frown. Her tone was filled with displeasure as she said:

"Little Brother Arthur, according to your guess... that Nick Fury who helped us out of our predicament was actually trying to win our favor, then take the opportunity to obtain our technology?"

"Of course." Arthur nodded.

In fact, after they had left the conference room, Arthur had told Carl his speculation.

In broad terms, it was not much different from what Nick Fury had discussed with Russell and Pierce.

Arthur knew that although Nick Fury—the 'Motherfucker' hero—did everything for Earth, humanity, and society, the director was no pushover.

Even though he and the Blood Raven Battle Group had saved Manhattan, in that director's eyes, they were still outsiders.

They had no files, no records, and no social ties. In other words, Earth's safety had effectively been placed in Arthur and his group's hands.

No matter what, Nick Fury would never be able to sleep or eat in peace.

Because only by gaining Arthur's trust, or making him lower his guard, would S.H.I.E.L.D. have a chance to steal Umbrella's weapons.

Combined with that genius, Stark, Umbrella's weapon-manufacturing processes and technology would sooner or later fall into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands as well.

If Nick Fury were a good person, he would not have told Captain America in Captain America 2: 'We can eliminate a threat before it even occurs.'

Nor would he have immediately hired a group of mercenaries to hijack his own freighter after discovering signs of trouble within S.H.I.E.L.D., then had Natasha secretly obtain the data.
