Tony had been crawling through the sewers just last night, while it was the director’s turn today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, anyone who wanted to be a superhero was destined to become familiar with the dark, wet and narrow sewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, based on Luke’s investigation in recent months, the sewers in D.C. were much cleaner. After all, D.C. had a far smaller population than New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shouldn’t be too hard to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury was injured? Luke could only chuckle at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy had a Light Dagger and Life 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were “magical” healing items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the director’s personality, he would definitely keep anything that could save his life on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he saw Nick Fury’s head explode on the spot would Luke believe… that the director’s body double was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they talked about how Nick Fury had been “killed” several times before, Luke had casually asked Phil if it was a body double. There had been no change in Phil’s expression, but his mental fluctuations confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, Phil had bought a few pairs of mechanical gloves and nanogloves from Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Nick Fury didn’t have these on him, he could only blame his bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydra could dream on if they wanted to kill Nick Fury, this master at faking his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only benefit of assassinating him was that with the director publicly presumed dead, Hydra could openly take over the highest authority in SHIELD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roasting the director inwardly, Luke carried on with what he was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply sent the news of the attack on Nick Fury to the members of the Bat Squad, including Tony, on a special channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the tycoon, who was just as busy, read the news, his face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, he had informed Nick Fury that Hydra was aiming for the main Helicarrier, and this morning, the guy had been attacked on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was D.C..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the morning, a dozen “police cars” and dozens of fully-armed “police officers” were mobilized as they chased the SHIELD director’s car on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony could picture how several terrorist organizations were probably stepping out now to claim responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident would then make sense to a lot of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was done by terrorists, who tended not to use their brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief contemplation, just like Luke, Tony got back to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had talked to Luke before, and they had a clear division of labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke would be responsible for the main “military support” during this operation since Tony couldn’t appear directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tycoon’s identity was too sensitive, unlike Luke, who could switch aliases as he pleased and decry responsibility as a vigilante.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tony stuck his nose into SHIELD’s muddy waters now, some people might use that as an excuse to attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he did, he would only be helping to divert attention from the true culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Tony nor Luke were idiots. There was no way they would martyr themselves for Hydra’s sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury felt the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy probably had an escape plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few months was naturally far from enough. More than that, Nick Fury knew that there would never be enough time to completely eradicate Hydra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With things coming to a head, he decisively gave all of SHIELD’s secret resources to Tony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much Tony could use would depend on his capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These resources basically weren’t money, which SHIELD had been short of recently, and which Tony didn’t care about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Nick Fury gave Tony was top secret intelligence, research information, and mystery items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had already moved them away, he naturally stayed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of things that couldn’t be moved beforehand and which might fall into Hydra’s hands. Nick Fury had Tony play things by ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury hadn’t come up with this plan on the spur of the moment. He had been preparing for months, and just sent Tony information on these resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Luke, he naturally didn’t have a share\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bigshot who sold everything might have been able to use the resources, but Nick Fury wasn’t stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever Nick Fury gave to Tony now, he could shamelessly ask the tycoon for some back if he needed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he gave them to the bigshot who sold everything, the other party might not necessarily acknowledge the debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way Nick Fury would trust a mysterious businessman with an unknown background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony couldn’t run even if he wanted to, and Stark Industries couldn’t disappear instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Nick Fury didn’t know was that Tony had told Luke about this. He even asked Luke if the bigshot wanted to take some of the resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke felt regret for a moment, but still refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he gave Tony was that the bigshot didn’t like getting mixed up in this sort of troublesome business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony had said, “You’re kidding me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with things that consumed a lot of resources, manpower and labor to take away, Luke preferred experience and credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, weren’t Tony’s abilities Luke’s abilities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Tony’s personality, he would definitely take the most valuable items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke only needed to refresh this teammate’s list of abilities to obtain everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he added, “The bigshot said that we can trade for technology and supplies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting off the communication, Tony was skeptical, and he couldn’t help but mutter inwardly,?What kind of businessman are you?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The business policy for capital groups had always been about raking in money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one thing, it was to present the masses with a glamorous appearance. For another, it was a way to suppress their competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did the bigshot who sold everything need to do this? Obviously not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This supplier, who enjoyed peak monopoly and placed quality over quantity, didn’t care about standard business policy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he had “VIP clients” who were willing to trust him, that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who believed in certain “genius doctors” or “great masters,” for example, wouldn’t believe anyone who said that they were swindlers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mere slander wouldn’t stop these genius doctors or great masters from making money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this matter wasn’t so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than an hour later, Frank sent another message. “Apparently, Black Egg is dead. The body is in D.C.’s Central Hospital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke unhurriedly placed a remote-controlled robot in the sewer. “Okay, got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank: “Supposedly, he was shot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke covered the remote-controlled robot with an optical camouflage cape. “Was his head blown up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank: “If his head was blown up, there would be no way to prove that he was the one who died.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded and said, “So it’s an intact corpse. This can be considered a blessing from God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The communication was cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course the director wasn’t dead\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying went, a scourge lasted a thousand years. Nick Fury could basically be considered a scourge. How could it be so easy for him to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, based on the deal he made with Tony, it would be a huge problem if he remained “alive” now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By dying this way, he would be the “righteous” former director who had been assassinated by Hydra SHIELD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, the fall of SHIELD couldn’t be blamed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, those who bore responsibility had to be alive in order for the public to beat them up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-06T03:36:34.766Z",1,"novelbin.me","391c10e2926ac057ade7eb9ed0191d6b9ef8109b214a2a47888af7732711f5cd","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1637","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1635",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
