Chapter 54: A promise spanning forty-five years

"Understand, understand......"

Fury coughed twice to cover up the awkward atmosphere.

"It just so happens that our S. H. I. E. L. D. is committed to protecting humanity from alien threats." In order to close the distance, Fury followed his topic and said: "From this perspective, our goals are the same, Mr. Velsius."

"Is that so?" Alvin seemed to have found a topic he was interested in, and his eyes lit up: "You also think that existence other than humanity should all be eliminated, right?"

You seem a bit too extreme...... Fury twitched his mouth and said dryly: "Your thoughts...... are not bad, worth affirming, but isn't it a bit extreme?"

"No, Mr. Fury, I don't agree with your view."

Alvin's expression was serious, like a devout and fanatical believer: "The so-called heresy must be slaughtered completely. Only in this way can the purity of humanity be guaranteed!"

This time, Coulson and Black Widow next to him were scared by his firm tone.

"Are you a bit too aggressive?" Coulson was a bit scared. If he really did what the Director said and pulled this kid in, he was afraid that some big disaster would be caused.

"Aggressive? No, no, no," Alvin sighed with regret and said: "I often feel very remorseful because I am not a conservative."

"Great, actually sometimes being blindly tough is not the right choice."

Fury felt relieved in his heart. It didn't seem to be hopeless. At least he understood that he should be conservative in treating other races.

"Hmm, you're right." Alvin nodded in agreement and said slowly: "But there's no way, who told me I'm not aggressive enough."

"Wht???"

Fury and the three widened their eyes, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Someone who keeps saying that in order to ensure the purity of humanity, all other races except humanity must be slaughtered, actually claims that he is not aggressive enough?

Wait a minute...... the conservative you are talking about, shouldn't it mean that the radical is not aggressive enough and too conservative?

"Mr. Velsius, where exactly... do you come from?" Fury asked subconsciously.

"Believe me, you wouldn't want to know."

Alvin had a thought-provoking smile and tapped the table with his index finger: "Alright, the small talk is over. It's time to talk about business, Director Fury."

Fortunately, Fury had no intention of getting to the bottom of it for the time being. He looked at Alvin seriously: "It's like this, you may not know very well that this world is far from simple, hiding many dangers, and the goal of S. H. I. E. L. D.'s establishment is to build the first and last line of defense for humanity!"

"Go on......"

Alvin took a sip of iced Americano, his face showing little interest, seemingly not very interested.

"Just recently, more and more people like you have appeared."

Fury said, handing over a document: "In this city under our feet, there is a doctor who was turned into a lizard by genetic drugs, a student who was mutated by a spider bite, and a dark ninja force named The Hand in Hell's Kitchen, and these... are just the tip of the iceberg!"

The Hand?

Alvin was a bit interested. He remembered that this organization seemed to have the 'immortal dragon bone' stolen from K'un-Lun.

"We have foreseen that the world is undergoing drastic changes!"

Fury's tone was low and serious. He clasped his hands tightly and said heavily: "So, in order to deal with the disaster that is about to happen in the world, S. H. I. E. L. D. intends to establish a special force, whose main task is to gather strength to resist the powerful unknown enemies that may pose a threat to the Earth and even humanity!"

Alvin was stunned for a full half-minute before pointing at his nose in disbelief: "So, you mean, let me join this team?"

To be honest, he guessed that Fury would definitely find him, even suspecting, investigating, etc., but he never expected that he would be asked to join the Avengers!

Something is wrong, very wrong!

With Nick Fury's suspicious personality, there must be a problem here!

"You two, go out for a while."

After seeing the doubt on Alvin's face, Fury seemed to have guessed something and turned to Coulson and Black Widow.

Although the two didn't understand, they still followed the Director's instructions and stood guard outside the cafe.

At this time, Fury took off his monitoring headset. Under Alvin's suspicious gaze, he solemnly took out a somewhat worn iron box from his arms.

"What is this?"

Alvin asked in confusion.

"You can open it and see."

Fury pushed the iron box over and smiled mysteriously.

Judging from the appearance alone, the iron box obviously experienced a long time. The surface was rusted and worn, and it didn't look like it had any danger.

Alvin hesitated slightly and opened the rusty iron box in front of him.

Inside the iron box, wrapped in soft silk, lay a golden medal quietly.

That medal hung with a pure ribbon. Although Alvin was not familiar with the style, the skull symbolizing human purity, as well as the decorative elements combining the sun, wings, and gears, made his heart stop suddenly, and his blood seemed to suddenly accelerate, rushing directly to his forehead!

"Where did you get this thing?!"

Alvin forcibly controlled the emotions that were about to lose control and asked in a low voice.

He didn't recognize the medal, but he was too familiar with the skull, gears, and pure ribbon!

Except for the Warhammer universe, Alvin really couldn't imagine who else would use human skulls, gears, and wings as the special logo of the medal!

But the problem is... why would the Warhammer universe's medal appear in Marvel?

"Don't know."

However, the answer given by Fury made Alvin a bit confused.

Looking at Alvin's questioning eyes, Fury picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said slowly: "In fact, I still don't know the origin of this medal until now. My intuition just told me that this medal is very important, and someone entrusted me to pass it on to someone who knows it."

After saying that, he looked at Alvin meaningfully and put down the coffee cup: "Now it seems that I shouldn't have found the wrong person. You are the owner of this medal, Alvin Velsius!"

"Wait, since you don't know the origin of this thing, why pass it on to me?"

Alvin didn't understand even more, and his brain was in a mess.

"I am an agent, Mr. Velsius."

Fury smiled and said: "In my decades of agent career, I have never valued a medal so much, and I think that lost memory should have been deliberately deleted. Although I don't understand the reason, since I believed that person before the memory was deleted, then naturally I also believe him. This medal must have its important place."

"Then how did you determine that it was me?"

Alvin felt even more bizarre. This thing didn't explicitly say who to give it to. How did Fury determine that he must know it?

"You are not the first, Mr. Velsius."

Fury said faintly: "In fact, before you, I have suspected more than a dozen people, but it's a pity... they didn't know the origin of this thing after seeing the medal."

"How do you know they don't know? Can't they pretend to know?" Alvin continued to ask.

"Remember? I am an agent." Fury pointed to his eyes and smiled: "Although I dare not say it is very accurate, at least 90% of people can't deceive my eyes."

After speaking, he paused and continued: "Besides, this medal has no special place. It is just a medal. Even if others get it, it has no effect. It will only play its original role in the hands of the right person. Of course... perhaps it has no use at all, it is just a simple medal. These are my guesses."

In fact... he had studied this medal.

But unfortunately, no matter how S. H. I. E. L. D. studied it, the medal was just a medal that was ordinary to the point of being ordinary.

So, Fury guessed that perhaps this medal would only know what it was for when it returned to its true owner.

"Now, it belongs to you, Mr. Velsius."

Fury pushed the iron box toward Alvin: "In this way, I can be considered to have fulfilled my promise."

"How many years have you kept this thing?"

Alvin frowned and asked suddenly.

Fury seemed to have fallen into memories, silent for a full half-minute, before saying slowly in a hoarse voice: "Starting from 1963, it has been a full forty-five years." ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
