Chapter 2132: Battle of the Two Cities! (Part 10)

Two hands, both with wrinkles and a bit of vicissitudes, clasped together. After letting go, the leather shoes of the two sides were slightly different. The two feet on one side were polished brightly, while the two feet on the opposite side were stained with mud and dirt.

"Very happy to meet you, Sheriff Gordon. Phil Coulson, S. H. I. E. L. D. Level 8 Agent." Coulson showed a smile to Gordon, led him inside, and said: "We have long heard of the great name of Cat Getan's hard-bone sheriff. I even went to the police academy in Chicago for training for a period of time. You are a graduate from there, right?"

Gordon nodded silently, turned the corner into an office, and saw a beautiful red-haired woman walk out.

"Good evening, Coulson. Presumably this is Sheriff Gordon, right?" The female agent walked up and shook hands with Gordon. Gordon appeared cautious and stiff.

Because all his detective experience was constantly reminding him that this woman was very dangerous, like a deadly poppy.

"Natasha." The female agent nodded to him and said: "Long heard of your great name, Sheriff Gordon."

"Go, Natasha, Captain and the others are still waiting for you." Coulson reached out and patted Natasha on the shoulder and said: "Leave this to me."

Natasha nodded to him and walked out quickly. Coulson led Gordon to the office and sat down.

The expected interrogation didn't come. May poured him a cup of hot tea. He sat with Coulson in parallel on the sofa in the reception area. There was no scrutiny, no pressure, more like a reunion reception.

"Sorry, our director has more important things to deal with. You have also seen that there are many troubles in this city."

"I understand." Gordon nodded. A cold light flashed in his eyes under his glasses, and he said: "Then what are you looking for me here for?"

"Regarding the criminal Kingpin who kidnapped your daughter, we have some understanding, Sheriff. Regardless of whether you can provide us with help, we will help you rescue your daughter, it's that simple."

Gordon frowned deeply, staring at Coulson's side profile, while Coulson turned his head and said gently to Gordon: "This is the director's instruction. If you must know why this is, I can only tell you that Kingpin crossed the line."

"The power to rule the new city that was within reach made him even more crazy, so he did the wrong thing, which made S. H. I. E. L. D. have to manage it. First of all, it is to make him pay the price for his crimes."

"I don't understand." Gordon's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, looking like he was thinking, but more like an instinctive reaction of anxiety.

"Please allow me to introduce to you." Coulson stood up and led Gordon to the wall. Gordon saw many file covers posted on the wall.

"S. H. I. E. L. D.'s main responsibility is to handle global supernatural events. We are an organization directly under the United Nations Security Council, responsible only to the main body of human civilization. The jurisdiction includes supernatural events, alien biological invasion events that far exceed the scope of human processing ability, local resident mutation events on Earth, and superpowered criminal events."

"Is the person who kidnapped my daughter a superpowered person?"

Coulson shook his head and said: "Kingpin is just an ordinary person. Although a certain mutation has occurred, it does not reach the threshold of S. H. I. E. L. D.'s jurisdiction. The Avengers occasionally deal with him, but most of the time it is the FBI investigating Kingpin's criminal evidence."

"Under normal circumstances, he is just a black boss with eyes and hands reaching the sky, but we all understand that someone must sit in this position. Kingpin has never shown his extreme and crazy fangs before, but this time is different."

"He hired superpowered people. I don't know if you have heard of the Sinister Six. Originally, they were self-organized to find trouble with Spider-Man, which is actually not within the scope of S. H. I. E. L. D.'s jurisdiction."

"Why?" Gordon asked: "Doesn't this count as superpowered crime?"

"It is, but they haven't caused harm to the main body of humanity—we only use this as a judgment standard." Coulson looked at Gordon, his tone having a coldness that Gordon didn't like.

"You should understand better than us, Mr. Sheriff. Law enforcement agencies are only responsible for social stability. To put it bluntly, we only need to be worthy of the funding we get."

"Our director is already relatively responsible, so he invited you here." Coulson showed a serious expression and said: "We analyzed the files of everyone in the Cat Getan Police Department and found that perhaps only you can be counted on."

Gordon wanted to open his mouth to ask where they got the files of the Cat Getan Police Department, but suddenly he found that he was a bit slow.

In the few years he worked in Cat Getan, he hadn't seen any agents. He had almost forgotten how agents did things, but in fact, when he was in Chicago, he had dealt with the FBI.

This group of violent law enforcement agencies that were above the ordinary human society didn't reason at all. What they did was to violently rush into all facilities to get what they wanted, making everyone feel afraid. They were just doing this.

And if S. H. I. E. L. D. was really as they said, it was an agency that handled these supernatural events, then at the first moment of the city merger, they would definitely want to and have the ability to get the information of the law enforcement agencies of Cat Getan city.

He was really the only lone seedling of the Cat Getan Police Department. Gordon couldn't help but laugh absurdly. He thought, the most absurd thing about this matter is not that the whole police station is full of corrupt police, but that even Penguin, who bought the director and other sheriffs, looked for him first after something happened.

What does this explain? This explains that all the police officers in the Cat Getan Police Department, apart from taking money, also take money and don't do things.

Or rather, they take money just to not do things, but after a long time, everyone's ability to do things has degenerated, becoming a group of idiots who need to be raised with money.

And only Gordon, the last conscience who still tries hard even if he is powerless, still has some ability as a detective, so now he, who was hated by everyone in the past, has become a hot commodity.

Penguin is looking for him, S. H. I. E. L. D. is looking for him, and that supercriminal called Kingpin also kidnapped his daughter, wanting to give him a lesson. He has really become a big celebrity in the new city.

But Gordon actually didn't have any hope for this organization called S. H. I. E. L. D. at all, because the FBI had suffered too many losses in this city, and the way they suffered losses was a bit too ridiculous.

No one in Cat Getan likes agents, because apart from rushing in recklessly and causing a pile of trouble, and then escaping in a sorry state, they have never done more things.

"If you are willing to help with the search, I am very happy." Gordon stood up and looked at Coulson and said: "But I am afraid I really don't have the energy to cooperate with you to do anything now. Apart from my daughter, I also have to solve troubles everywhere."

"Da da da," heavy and urgent footsteps came from outside the door. Gordon turned his head and saw a woman push open the door, holding a document in her hand.

Seeing Gordon, she was stunned for a moment, immediately walked up and handed the document to Gordon, and said: "Is this your daughter on this?"

Gordon immediately took it, and then he understood the reason why this woman stared at him. The person in the photo was indeed Barbara, and this angle looked very similar to him.

"We just controlled all the cameras in the Lower City and used the intelligent facial capture system to find this girl."

"Where is she?" Gordon immediately stepped forward and asked her, while Coulson walked up and introduced her to him: "Jemma Simmons, life scientist, S. H. I. E. L. D. Level 5 Agent."

Gordon shook hands with her, and Simmons answered: "She last appeared three minutes ago, Brooklyn, I mean the Lower City... forget it, I don't know how you call that street, anyway we found her in a house."

"But by the time our people rushed there, they were gone. The camera shows their way of moving was very strange. The person who took her away is very likely a mage."

Simmons showed Gordon another photo. In the photo, a man in a trench coat was facing away from the camera, Barbara was lying on the ground, and her waist was full of blood.

"No..."

"You have to believe us, James." Coulson immediately walked up and said: "You have already discovered that this matter is not that simple. It's not some gang boss who kidnapped her. This man is very likely to use magic, and only S. H. I. E. L. D. is an expert in this regard."

"Of course I can cooperate with you." Gordon supported the table with one hand, appearing somewhat powerless. He turned his head to the other side and said: "But I don't know what I can do. I know nothing about these mysterious events."

Simmons and Coulson looked at each other. Coulson patted Gordon on the shoulder and said: "Believe me, helping us is also helping yourself."

About ten minutes later, Gordon left the S. H. I. E. L. D. station with a face full of grief and indignation, and he kept this expression until he walked out of this building.

Coulson didn't even send him off, and after walking out, he also had a cold face. At this time, a young agent walked up, smiled at Coulson, and asked: "What's wrong, boss? Is this guy making you so headache?"

"Humph." Coulson snorted coldly, and then shook his head somewhat helplessly and said: "He wants us to help him find his daughter, without looking at what time it is now. The director is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot."

Coulson leaned against the door frame and watched Gordon's back and said: "I don't know why the director attaches so much importance to this guy. Is it possible that in such a big city, only he is working in the police station?"

After speaking, Coulson returned to his office.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. This young agent returned to his workstation, soon got up again, and pretended to go to organize equipment.

"Mr. Sitwell, they talked with that Sheriff Gordon and it collapsed. Do you think we have the necessity to contact him?... So he is so important, okay, I know, I will try to contact him."

"That's right, he does have a daughter, and according to what Coulson said, his daughter was kidnapped, and he is very anxious to find her. Fury can't take care of her, so they didn't cooperate successfully."

"Yes, I think so too. Okay, I will mobilize all forces to master this important bargaining chip in our hands as soon as possible."

In S. H. I. E. L. D., in Nick Fury's office, he took off the earphone on his ear, smiled at Natasha. Natasha rolled her eyes helplessly and threw the money rolled into a roll to Fury.

"I have to say this, Nick, you are really treacherous." Natasha snorted coldly and said: "You knew S. H. I. E. L. D. was full of Hydra, and your purpose in keeping them was to let them do free labor. Too insidious."

"Thank you for the compliment." Nick tapped the wine glass in his hand and looked at this brand-new city along the floor-to-ceiling window.

After the two Earths merged, Nick Fury from the central universe who originally stayed on the old Earth 616 naturally retained the position of S. H. I. E. L. D. director.

Most universes' Nick Fury are about the same. This Nick, apart from being particularly greedy, had nothing special. If he had to say, he was still particularly good at guiding Hydra. ===== CHAPTER 2133 =====
