S.H.I.E.L.D.. is safe.
But the World Security Council says: Your good days are over!
Britain representative Hawley contacted the S.H.I.E.L.D. Temporary Council. directly.
"We've been too lenient with S.H.I.E.L.D.."
"It's proven that you are not trustworthy!"
"Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D.. must be overseen!"
"From this moment forward, every S.H.I.E.L.D.. operation and every expense request must be recorded and filed!"
" The World Security Council will send people to conduct random inspections from time to time!"
Victoria Hand and the others looked extremely grim.
At that moment, their impression of Nick Fury plummeted!
The Britain representative Hawley, acted as if he hadn't seen anything amiss and continued his reprimand, "If Nick Fury's abuse of power and corruption occur again, the World Security Council will formally shut down S.H.I.E.L.D..!"
"Everyone, watch your words and actions from now on!"
" S.H.I.E.L.D.. is never a lawless zone!"
After saying that, he abruptly hung up the video call.
Victoria Hand frowned and said, "Fellow council members, we're in big trouble!"
Robert Gonzales took off his reading glasses, rubbed his dry eyes, and then put them back on.
"I had anticipated this outcome..."
"This is the downside of Nick Fury's 'unilateral secrecy'! The lack of transparency keeps everything about him shrouded in mystery!"
"This almost supernatural mystique certainly earned him the reputation of ' King of Agents,' but it also made all his actions unpredictable and unmonitorable!"
"Twenty-seven private land parcels..."
He turned his gaze to Phil Coulson: "Director Coulson, if I remember correctly, that ' Providence ' is one of them?"
Phil replied in a hoarse voice, " Providence is indeed Nick... Fury's private base..."
"But we have no idea when this base was built!"
"Of course you couldn't possibly know!" Old Robert slammed his hand on the table in anger. "Just like his ubiquitous doubles, he'll be safe as long as no one figures out his secret!"
Phil pursed his dry lips and defended Nick Fury, saying, "Director Gonzales, Nick... he has done a lot for S.H.I.E.L.D...."
"Director Coulson!" Victoria Hand interrupted him directly, " S.H.I.E.L.D.. will not deny anyone's contributions! Including Nick Fury, or even Alexander Pierce!"
Robert Gonzales added, "But Nick Fury's past mistakes must be corrected! S.H.I.E.L.D..'s management must be transparent from now on!"
"Huh?! Transparency?!" Park Min-jung shrugged, speechless. "Director Gonzales, are you kidding me?! We're an intelligence organization! God! Do you think the FBI and CIA would be so brain-dead as to release their annual financial reports?"
An exceptionally heated argument erupted immediately within the S.H.I.E.L.D. Temporary Council.
On the other side, after cutting off the video communication, Hawley, the representative of the Britain, flashed a green light and instantly transformed into a female Skrulls Skrull.
She turned to a young man in the office and said excitedly, "Mr. Gravik, S.H.I.E.L.D.. has suddenly lost Nick Fury and is in a state of chaos. We can take this opportunity to infiltrate back!"
"No, Hana ..." Gravik refused outright, " S.H.I.E.L.D.. has never been part of our plans..."
Hana explained reluctantly, "But Lord Gravik... S.H.I.E.L.D..'s influence extends across the globe, which can help us complete our colonization plan much faster!"
Gravik shook his head again, saying, " Hana, S.H.I.E.L.D.. isn't as simple as it seems, it..."
As he was speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at the sky.
"Damn it! That woman is back?!"
Gravik immediately stood up and urgently ordered, " Hana, notify our people to cease all activities! Have them all hide, and no one is allowed to come out without my order!"
Hana was taken aback, then opened her mouth and said, "Gera..."
Gravik lowered his head instantly, his eyes flashing with terrifying killing intent. "Execute my orders immediately!"
Hana couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Yes, Lord Gravik!"
Hana, now transformed back into Hawley, the representative of the Britain, and rushed out of the office in a flustered manner.
At this point, Gravik could no longer contain himself and angrily slammed his fist on the desk.
'Click!'
The sturdy solid wood tabletop shattered into pieces instantly.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, " Carol Danvers! Why... why did you only show up after I made my new choice?!"
In outer space, on the Skrulls Wanderer, an uninvited guest suddenly arrives.
Skrull, the Skrulls senator who remained on the Starship, rushed to the control panel immediately after receiving an urgent report from the crew.
"Lady Skrull, a human woman has suddenly appeared outside the Wanderer!"
Skrull looked out through the screen, and the moment he saw who it was, he gasped in shock.
"Hiss, Carol Danvers?! That horrible woman is back!"
He immediately ordered, "Notify the other councilors! Tell them... Carol Danvers is back! Also, prepare to open the hatch; I'm going to meet her!"
"Yes, Lady Skrull!"
Skrull turned and ran quickly toward the Starship's hatch.
After he was out of the crew's sight, he pressed a button on his gauntlet.
" Varra, take Nick to the conference room..."
Varra cried out urgently, " Skrull, we can't hand Nick over!"
Skrull smiled wryly and explained, "You've misunderstood, Varra!"
"From now on, no one will dare to continue targeting Nick..."
Nick Fury's voice suddenly came through the communicator. " Winnie, who are you talking to?"
Varra: "It's Skrull... Nick, Skrull asked me to take you to the conference room..."
"Really?" Nick Fury chuckled. "Looks like we trusted the wrong person, Winnie..."
Skrull's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly explained, " Nick, you've got it wrong! It's Ms. Carol Danvers who's back!"
Varra exclaimed, " Carol Danvers?! Oh my god! She's finally back!"
Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Aha~ it seems my old life is saved!"
" Nick ..." Skrull said as she ran, "There are many misunderstandings between you and us, and I believe these misunderstandings can all be explained!"
Nick Fury chuckled and said, " Skrull, some misunderstandings can be cleared up with words, but some misunderstandings require the price of a life to be paid!"
Skrull said urgently, "No, Nick, we can talk..."
Nick Fury abruptly interrupted him, continuing, " Talos and his family are mutual friends of Carol Danvers and me..."
His voice instantly turned icy cold. "But now Talos has been exiled... Soren is dead... and G'iah has disappeared..."
" Skrull, have you figured out how to explain this to Carol Danvers?"
Skrull paused, her green face turning deathly pale...
