Chapter 55: Listen to the tune but not the announcement

1963, was there anything special?

Alvin recalled carefully, but he really couldn't remember clearly.

He wasn't a professional researcher of Marvel in his previous life, so how could he remember clearly which things happened in which year?

Not to mention 1963, this somewhat unfamiliar year.

Kennedy assassinated?

No, no, no, it definitely wasn't such a small thing. At least it should be something like an alien invasion.

Alvin, who couldn't think of it, could only pin his hopes on the 'Navigator System,' hoping to find some useful clues through the detection information.

However, when he took out the medal from the iron box and the system detection results appeared in front of him, he was directly dumbfounded.

【Detected item:????】

【A medal with a special symbolic meaning】

【Energy provided: 0 units】

Doesn't this mean nothing was said?!

Alvin was a bit depressed. Give some effect, Navigator System!

"Velsius, on behalf of S. H. I. E. L. D., I sincerely hope you can join the Avengers Initiative."

Seeing Alvin accept the badge, Fury breathed a sigh of relief, his attitude soft and his tone sincere: "Joining S. H. I. E. L. D. will not restrict personal freedom, but will have many benefits you can't imagine."

"For example?"

Once he heard there were benefits, Alvin became interested. He wouldn't be sleepy if you mentioned this!

"For example, the 'Vought Group' you founded with Norman." Fury smiled and said meaningfully: "Although it is not clear what the main business of this company is, we can roughly guess that the purpose of doing so is to avoid the military's sight, right?"

"You guys move fast. It's only been two days, and you've investigated so clearly?" Alvin wasn't surprised at all. If S. H. I. E. L. D. didn't have this ability, it would have been disbanded long ago.

"Thanks for the compliment, this is just a very small part of S. H. I. E. L. D."

Obviously, Fury had a considerable degree of confidence in S. H. I. E. L. D.'s intelligence work: "Please rest assured, Mr. Velsius, we only investigated your background out of safety considerations and will not cause any loss to you and Vought Company at any level."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

Alvin looked at Fury meaningfully and said casually: "Even if Vought Company fails, I can just go find someone else to cooperate with."

Actually, if he couldn't find Hydra, he would rather cooperate with that group.

After all, Norman still had to abide by the law, and the research progress must not be fast. If he changed to Hydra, even if it wasn't a thousand miles a day.

"The benefit I want to say is that once you join S. H. I. E. L. D., you don't have to fear the military anymore."

Fury threw out the first bait: "S. H. I. E. L. D. relies on the World Security Council. The mere US military has no right to investigate S. H. I. E. L. D. All your actions will be recognized as actions to maintain world and human safety, and even when necessary, S. H. I. E. L. D. can prove it for you."

"Not enough."

However, facing the bait thrown by Fury, Alvin shook his head almost without thinking.

Don't look at how good it sounds now. When something happens, the cutting speed will be as fast as possible. This is S. H. I. E. L. D.'s consistent style.

Fortunately, Fury didn't prepare just this much. Looking at Alvin who was still unmoved, he crossed his hands and smiled: "Then, let's talk about a deal, Alvin."

This time he didn't go to call 'Mr. Velsius' but used 'Alvin' directly to indicate the narrowing of the distance between the two.

"A bit interesting, continue." Alvin was successfully aroused interest.

Fury grinned like a picture showing a dagger: "We don't require you to join the Avengers Initiative, but when necessary, we can summon you to participate in an action. You can choose to accept or refuse, and as a price, we will pay the corresponding reward, how about it?"

Alvin pondered for a while and suddenly realized. Isn't this listening to the tune but not the announcement?

And on this basis, S. H. I. E. L. D. also gave him a great degree of freedom, and he could choose to accept or refuse.

Looking at Fury, who was full of cunning like an old fox, Alvin finally tasted the flavor, and his face was a bit strange: "So, from the beginning, the idea you had was this?"

"It should be said that I prepared two sets of rhetoric, hoping to persuade you to join the Avengers Initiative."

It has to be said that Fury is worthy of being the King of Agents for decades. Just from observing words and colors, he can accurately hit the soft ribs. This is definitely an old fox.

"Such excellent conditions, I have no reason to refuse, right?"

Since S. H. I. E. L. D. made a huge concession, Alvin naturally wouldn't refuse. Anyway, for him, the benefits must be greater than the disadvantages.

Fury stood up calmly, tidying the buttons of his coat, smiled and reached out his hand: "Welcome to S. H. I. E. L. D., Mr. Alvin Velsius, I am Nick Fury."

"Don't be so polite, anyway, it's paying money." Alvin also reached out his hand, shook it firmly with him, and smiled playfully.

"If there are subsequent tasks, I will let Agent Romanoff contact you."

Since the goal of today was reached, Fury didn't intend to stay much longer, so he turned and waved to Black Widow. After the latter came over, he said sternly: "Agent Romanoff, you are temporarily responsible for Alvin's contact work. If you have any needs, you can tell Agent Romanoff directly."

Little did he know, his words made Black Widow's originally calm expression suddenly turn from blue to red, and she had already started to consider the problem of resigning.

"Director, do you think you should consider it again?"

Black Widow felt that she had been very restrained. If she really stayed by this guy's side for a few days, she was afraid she would go crazy.

"Agent Romanoff, you have to believe in your professionalism."

Fury comforted this capable general earnestly: "Coulson has important things these days, so I can only rely on you. You are my most trusted subordinate. I believe you can complete this work. After it ends, I will give you a long vacation and let you rest well."

Standard workplace PUA rhetoric, Alvin almost got sick listening to it, and couldn't help but shiver.

"Yes, I... try my best."

Black Widow's face was complex, but she was powerless, so she could only sigh silently in her heart.

"It doesn't matter, I am very gentle, you endure it."

Alvin patted Black Widow's fragrant shoulder, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face: "Then, in the days to come, I hope we can 'get along well'."

He deliberately emphasized his tone at the end of the sentence, causing Black Widow to collapse.

Then, Fury took Coulson, left Black Widow who was messy in the wind alone, and drove away in a S. H. I. E. L. D. car.

"Let's go, Miss Natasha."

Alvin took out the key from his arms and threw it to Natasha who was still in a daze.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Black Widow subconsciously took the car key and asked in a daze.

"From today on, you are my secretary. Any questions?" Alvin turned his head and looked at her strangely, saying faintly: "Don't talk nonsense, go to Osborn Group."

"Can I refuse?"

Black Widow's eyes twitched, holding the key tightly, and ten ways to kill flashed in her mind.

"Yes, I will call and talk to Fury."

Saying that, Alvin made a gesture of calling: "I ask him what he means. He said let you help me, but you don't even want to drive."

"...... No need to call, I'll drive!"

Black Widow gritted her teeth, the muscles on her face were shaking, and it could be seen that she was about to be blown up.

"Wait, stop."

Suddenly, Alvin, who was sitting in the back row, said seriously.

"What do you mean?"

Black Widow looked puzzled, but soon she understood why she had to stop.

Bang!

I saw the manhole cover in front for some reason, suddenly made a loud noise and flew into the high sky of tens of meters.

Immediately after, a black shadow rushed out from inside, and fell to the ground with a bang!

The strong vibration even made the two in the car clearly feel the vibration, and the neat road paved with asphalt was cracked.

The culprit was a huge lizard that looked like a human.

Gray-green skin, shaved head, looked extremely ugly, as if when all humanity evolved, only he was left behind.

"Alvin!!!"

The lizard man opened his bloody mouth, looked at Alvin in the car, and let out an angry roar!

"Your acquaintance?"

Black Widow suddenly felt a bit schadenfreude and looked at Alvin in the back seat: "It looks like he is looking for you. Why don't you get out of the car and chat with him?" ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
