Let's make a deal. I'll tell you something you're interested in, and you let me choose a few 084s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury frowned deeply and subconsciously looked at Barbara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she told Aaron about 084?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>084 represent items of unknown origin. They can be objects, energy, or even people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron's file within S.H.I.E.L.D. was also 084 — Superman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury said, \"As an agent of the US, the education I received does not allow me to do something that betrays national interests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron chuckled. \"Fury, do you think I'm discussing this with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury immediately felt a great sense of dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron's expression darkened as he said, \"Remember, no one can stop what I intend to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's face was grim. He was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury subconsciously tensed up, vaguely guessing what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the phone and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fury, does S.H.I.E.L.D. still want to exist? Are you treating my words as wind passing through your ears? Perhaps I should consider a better candidate, such as Mr. Aaron?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't settled the matter of Hulk and Abomination with you yet. Don't disappoint me again, and don't disappoint Mr. Aaron again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, pack your bags and get out tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep! Beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's face was dark, and he didn't dare speak throughout the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the person on the other end was the President.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S.H.I.E.L.D.'s status was transcendent, surpassing even the CIA and FBI, reporting directly to the President. But this also meant that if they displeased the President, he could genuinely fire him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury relented, replying, \"I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron scoffed. He was stubborn until he was forced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fury, didn't you say the education you received didn't allow you to do such things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's lips twitched. \"After all, you are America's rising star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! Could a person like this become a rising star? Wouldn't that make him, Fury, the rising sun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there any justice left in this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirty politicians! Damned billionaires!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, I think tomorrow would be excellent. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron had no intention of wasting words with him and immediately finalized the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could he say? He had no choice but to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, about the deal you just mentioned...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, you'll need to exchange something else for it.\" Aaron sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury took a deep breath and said kindly, \"Mr. Aaron, I think...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron ate a grape that Barbara fed him mouth-to-mouth, snapped his fingers, and a mirror appeared in his hand. He held it facing Fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get back to normal. I prefer that unruly look you had just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's eyebrows twitched heavily. He didn't know how many times they had twitched today, but he knew that this was the worst day he had experienced in decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This damn bastard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has anyone ever told you that talking to you is incredibly boring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury looked at his own facial expression in the mirror, which was slightly out of control due to emotional fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calm down. Fury, you are the King of Agents. How can you lose your composure so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least you have successfully planted a spy next to Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury recovered his previous unruly demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the coldest tone, he spoke the most yielding words, \"Mr. Aaron, what do you want? People or objects? Perhaps you can pick a few more things when the time comes, we will certainly cooperate fully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that's better.\" Aaron smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you refused the courtesy I offered, don't blame me for showing my displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it's settled. Whatever I take a fancy to later, you must give it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury immediately had a bad premonition. Something was wrong. This was a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, the King of Agents, have been hit by a honey trap today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to take back his words, but upon hearing Aaron's next sentence, his expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S.H.I.E.L.D. has an internal mole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury immediately refuted, but the thought of the bastard who had provided Aaron with fake documents flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron asked, \"You know about the Exposition attack, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you talking about Blonsky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened afterward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury frowned. \"We are still investigating. This matter is being handled by the most professional agents, and results will be available soon. Besides, this doesn't prove anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time you finish investigating, the trail will be stone cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can one's own people arrest their own people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess the final conclusion will definitely be the Ten Rings Gang.\" Aaron laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's brow furrowed even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron said, \"S.H.I.E.L.D. is inappropriate. I suggest you change the name. The name is concise and easy to understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury retorted, \"This was also suggested by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s consultant. He is Tony Stark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron said, \"No, what I mean is, it should be renamed the Snake Shield Agency. Sounds pretty good, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Hydra and snake is very different. But even if Hydra is special, it is still a snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Fury silently repeated the words twice, he immediately felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snake and Hydra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there a connection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury pretended not to understand. \"I don't understand what you are trying to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you understand. You didn't guess wrong. It is Hydra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without using mental power, Aaron observed Fury's fleeting shock based on his micro-expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the so-called King of Agents isn't as legendary as people say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury said, \"Mr. Aaron, although you have a strong voice with the President, you shouldn't slander S.H.I.E.L.D.'s position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S.H.I.E.L.D. is S.H.I.E.L.D. Or do you think I am incompetent, allowing a bunch of outsiders to usurp control?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron was immensely surprised. \"So you know too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know what? That I'm incompetent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have worked diligently at S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, and my contributions are obvious to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has seen his capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who dares say he is incapable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today, Aaron, an outsider, dares to criticize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of your first offense, I will endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury had actually vaguely sensed that there were moles within S.H.I.E.L.D., but he didn't think it was much trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which organization doesn't have internal moles?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are fickle, and facing external temptations, it's understandable that a small portion of people would willingly fall into depravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fury would not admit it. If he admitted it, wouldn't that suggest his incompetence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would rather go back and slowly check things himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Aaron, I can guarantee that S.H.I.E.L.D. will not be the Snake Shield Agency. If I am lying, then you can become the Director.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury was stubbornly denying it, refusing to admit anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron curled his lips. \"Please. Be the leader of a bunch of little snakes? Even dogs would despise this rotten organization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you're saying I'm worse than a dog?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really wanted to rip that mouth apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or just sew it shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury remained silent for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really wanted to stand up resolutely and leave, showing Aaron his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury softened his posture. \"What exactly do you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. To extract more information, he was willing to go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1210,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf943315961ffaf54bfb22a3e047e2f94d549cf514699a14bed8eb7f6c69f709","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-319","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-119",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
