Chapter 361 - 333 Nick Fury’s Intelligence_2

~7 min read 1,363 words

Maya also sat around the podium, surrounded by her former neighbors and friends who had helped her family.

Although many people had moved due to new jobs, they still gathered here during their free time.

Lille sat on a chair farther away, with a white man seated on the chair behind him.

"Now I know why you retreated to Africa, but they won’t give up on Carter and the Shield, nor will they spare you."

The speaker was a white man, but with a pronounced African American accent.

The man sat on the chair, dressed in a low-key workwear, looking like a worker commonly seen in Hell’s Kitchen lately.

However, in reality, he was the director of the Shield Bureau, Nick Fury.

"I know."

Roxsen was established, and during this time, many things happened, Carter was secured, and the Shield disappeared, giving Lille a slight advantage.

However, their CEO had apparently achieved his main goals, and Lille had no way or energy to find an entry point to interfere.

But Lille had not only deployed in Africa. Another place, poor and remote, received little attention amidst numerous events.

A big golden retriever ran wildly on the grass, followed by a little girl. The duo, perhaps too engrossed in their play, didn’t notice they were running towards Lille.

Upon reaching Lille, the big dog hurriedly stopped, looked at Lille, and sniffed around him.

"Bobby! Wait... I... you can’t run around like that!"

The little girl, looking only five or six years old, still had some baby fat on her face. She angrily hugged the golden retriever and gave it a hard slap on the head.

The big dog lowered its head in grievance, whimpering as it circled around the girl.

After teaching her dog a lesson, the little girl timidly bowed and apologized to Lille: "Sorry, sir, I didn’t mean to let Bobby run around."

Lille smiled and scratched the big dog’s head: "It’s not a big problem, what’s your name?"

"Emma." After saying her name, the little girl’s eyes suddenly lit up as she stared at Lille, "You’re... Lille Lee!"

"You know me?"

Emma nodded: "I know you, this big park was built by you. Could you build a big slide in the park? Then I could..."

"Emma!" Emma’s mother seemed to rush over, apologizing to Lille with an apologetic expression, "Mr. Lee, sorry for disturbing you."

"It’s okay, Emma is a cute little girl." Lille waved his hand, "How big of a slide do you want?"

"That... big!"

The little girl tilted her head back, indicating with her hands a slide much taller than her, which seemed quite challenging for her.

"Can we?"

"Yes." Lille smiled and pointed to an open space not far away, "We’ll put the slide there, one that big, like a castle."

"Then I can slide with my mom!"

"You can slide with your mom, and you can also slide with your friends. You can share this news with your friends."

The little girl’s eyes seemed to sparkle. She jumped and ran towards the grass, shouting her mother’s name, seemingly wanting to reserve a spot for sliding later.

Her mother showed a helpless yet pampering smile, thanking Lille, "Thank you."

Lille shrugged: "There should be something for kids to play with there, anyway."

"No, I mean, her father works for you, and she studies at the Lille Finance Kindergarten. Without this job...

We might have to sleep on the streets. In fact, last year, she already didn’t have proper clothes to wear..."

As she spoke, the lady became somewhat emotional but didn’t know what more to say. She gathered her thoughts and said, "I just want you to know, we all appreciate you."

After speaking, she suddenly saw Emma falling on the grass and quickly ran towards her daughter.

There were many families in the park.

Lille sat on the chair, looking at the nearby flowers and trees.

Fury continued, "You’ve done things that many people can’t achieve."

"Don’t be too pessimistic. If many predecessors hadn’t achieved similar things, I wouldn’t have had the chance to do these things."

Fury showed some surprise in his eyes, "Our report depicts you as a very proud and arrogant person."

"That’s because you’re too proud and arrogant."

Fury fell silent for a moment, taking a deep sigh - he knew Lille was right.

Lille continued to probe, "Since you’re here, does that mean the situation is alleviated?"

"Of course not, it’s only going to get worse, to the point where I have to personally see what kind of person you are.

Remember when I told you the sky isn’t safe? It’s Roxsen. They have some kind of aerial intercept weapon.

This thing is small, almost invisible on radar, fast, agile, and deadly.

Since 1950, 90% of the world’s air disasters, train derailments, and other large vehicle accidents could be related to it."

In other words, this monopoly took a long time to form. Roxsen and Hydra have both benefited from these secretive, untraceable assassinations.

During the Cold War, their actions were most frequent. Once they finished their mass killings, the most crucial link in the new order was basically controlled by them.

Lille immediately thought: Iron Man could have done such things, but this world has no Iron Man.

However, during World War II, Howard Stark used Vibranium to create a giant mecha -

"Hydra Crusher."

"There’s no conclusive evidence, but it’s highly likely." Fury looked up at the sky, "Over the past few decades, Roxsen used this weapon to intercept their opponents, hindering law enforcers trying to expand business control."

But now I can confirm who benefited from it.

Besides Roxsen, another organization also benefited from the weapon’s operations. Mei Country’s political circles, intelligence agencies, military, and even... my side, had their people.

This is a global infiltration.

They even tried to use a special threat monitoring algorithm to expand their assassination targets.

But the action was halted during the last major network upheaval."

Lille nodded slightly, realizing that AI technology had greatly helped.

In the Prosthetic Eye HUD, Little Octopus suddenly popped out, transforming one of its tentacles into a small trumpet.

After a moment of silence, Fury stood up and stretched, seeming like an ordinary person who had been seated for too long.

"Everything is on the hard drive now. You were right, I was too arrogant. So this is all the advice I can give you:

People call you a coward, a Holy Mother online, but maintaining fragile peace requires far more strength and courage than initiating a violent war.

You are our last hope - also, I have some money, a total of 40 million US Dollars. You can find Natasha to handle it."

million?

The Shield Bureau tricked you, but you are not bad either, quite the embezzler.

Fury strolled away, and from the hem of Lille’s clothes, a thin metal mechanical arm grabbed the hard drive from the chair into his clothes.

Using Little Octopus’ tentacles to read the data, Lille watched while murmuring:

"Those who casually start wars are either children who think they won’t get hurt or fanatical lunatics."

The hard drive contained all the clues Fury had organized, regarding illegal activities possibly linked to Hydra and Roxsen, including organizations and individuals.

Hydra uses surveillance to filter out targets that pose a risk to their "dominance." With this detailed information combined with the extensive ctOS system, Lille could lock onto their people.

These are lunatics, there’s no need to be lenient.

Fury got one thing wrong: didn’t the enemy want peace? Of course, they did.

Everyone just wants their vision of peace, that’s why conflicts arise.

"Although it’s a defensive measure... it’s also a preparation for war."

A gentle breeze blew, and the sun shone brightly.

Children ran on the grass, growing up amidst their parents’ expectations. Around the podium, people waved their arms, planning to build a better tomorrow.

Lille didn’t want war, didn’t want everything before him to be shrouded in the flames of war, but when war was inevitable...

Everyone had to be ready.
