"Tony, some things are not as simple as you think." Nick Fury widened his only remaining eyes as much as possible to make his expression look solemn as possible.

But Tony didn't buy his account.

"It's not simple, I really don't know what's not simple to me. One-eyed dragon, don't think you can do whatever you want if you have such a slight relationship with my father. If you touch Pepe's finger, I will definitely let you know what it feels like to regret!"

Nick Fury was very uncomfortable with this arrogance and attitude of not taking himself seriously, but thinking of his purpose and Stark's special identity. He could only tolerate Tony's attitude.

Of course, endurance does not mean indulgence, and the director of SHIELD cannot be threatened by others at will.

"I never knew what regret is, Tony! And trust me, you don't have the ability to make me regret it yet."

He paused and continued.

"Don't worry, we did not make any offensive moves to Miss Potz, and the protection of her has been carried out in secret, so it is impossible for her to notice. As for whether she needs our protection, wait until you have read this information."

Nick Fury said as he put the prepared information in front of Tony.

"This is a report from Morocco. The guy who attacked you was rescued. When he was rescued, the prisoners, prison guards and police officers were all slaughtered. Even the prison itself was washed away by artillery fire. Do you think if I don't send someone to protect the important people around you, are you sure that you can protect them?"

This question is somewhat realistic. Even with Tony's pride, it cannot guarantee that he can achieve 100% protection. The most important thing is that he has no idea of ​​taking risks with Pepe at all. Even if it is just a little possibility, he is not willing to let Pepe suffer any harm because of his negligence.

So when Nick Fury said this, the anger in his heart immediately went out. At this time, it means that he can speak well.

"Okay, you guys make some sense. But Miss Northman, there is no room for negotiation for your firing."

Natasha simply shrugged and showed no concern about this issue. She followed Director Fury's orders and lurked to Pepe's side. She also followed his instructions to reveal her identity. So, she didn't have to worry about whether she went or stayed next, because Nick Fury would arrange everything for her.

"Tony, I asked Natasha to help me find you, not to let you know her identity and then fire her. I have something more important to need your help."

After intercepting Tony's words, Nick directly explained his purpose. And this also meant that he blocked Natasha behind him.

"I knew that people like you came to me, definitely not to ask me to reminisce about the past. Tell me, what's the matter!"

Perhaps because of the invisible threat caused by the guy who always wanted his life, Tony did not force it on this matter. So he acknowledged Nick Fury's behavior and continued along with his topic.

"Before I explain my purpose, I want to ask a question first. Howard, what your father left you. Have you found it?"

"You mean this?"

He knocked on his chest, and a large triangle pendant like a necklace radiated through his shirt, emitting a sci-fi-style blue light. Looking at this thing, Nick Fury's pupils immediately shrank.

Howard was studying what he had been studying, and he naturally knew everything after living for so long. The infinite energy plan was no secret among them. Because at that time, they watched Howard salvaged the cosmic cube from the sea and then developed it for decades according to that thing.

In this long scientific research and development, they were not only developers, but also participants. Unfortunately, everything was in the hands of Howard. Even after he died, these things did not fall on them, but were reappeared in the world by his son.

If it weren't for Tony's identity that was so special, Nick Fury would have to get the power of infinite energy from his hands even if he used all means. But now, he could only suppress his inner greed and said seriously to Tony.

"Very good, Tony. You are worthy of Howard's son, and I believe your father's spirit in heaven will be proud of you."

"Everyone will say these useless things. I think you should honestly tell me what you want. You know I'm very busy." After looking at my watch, Tony curled his lips. "I only left myself an hour of rest, and there are still twenty minutes left. So no matter what you want to say, you must be as soon as possible!"

Nick Fury, who had been with Howard for a long time, knew that this was not a joke, so he adjusted his attitude and said.

"Okay, Tony. Since you want to be more direct, then I'll be more direct. I want to invite you to join a special team in our country."

"I'm sorry, I don't like working for others. And even if I join you, can you pay my salary?"

"You need to pay your salary yourself, because I am just a bridge and link. After this special team is formed, you will be completely responsible and managed by yourself. We will provide you with at most some information!"

"Oh. Then I'm really interested, but if you don't get stuck at all, then what are you building this team for?"

"We are for the next crisis, Tony Stark. There are too many dangers hidden in this world. Countless guys hiding in the dark are waiting to show their heads and stir up the wind and rain. The peace in this world is something we have finally established, including your father. So we must never allow these ulterior motives to exist. And to maintain the current peace, it is impossible to rely on our strength alone. So, Tony. We need your strength!"

Nick Fury's words touched Tony a little bit. And what touched him the most was the feeling of being needed. In his words, Tony was simply indispensable, and he had to exist. And for this tone, he always enjoyed the narcissistic separation.

"Okay, okay. Since you invited me so sincerely, it's okay to ask me to accept it. But I have something to say first. If the people in this team are disobedient, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Almost squinted his eyes and said such words, Tony's expression was very intoxicated. He was used to sitting in the company's boss, and he had never experienced the feeling of being a group of special abilities. When he thought of this kind of thing, he immediately became energetic.

But Nick Fury's reply clearly stated that he was really thinking too much this time.

"Tony, whether to be a boss or not is not our final say. You need to fight for it yourself, and to be honest, I don't think you have the ability."

"Are you kidding me?" Tony never questioned himself, nor did he like others to question him. So as soon as he said this, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with his beard and glared.

"Agent Colson, you should know. A few weeks ago, he found Captain America who was sleeping in the Arctic glaciers, Steve Rogers. As your father's former comrade-in-arms, a hero who ended World War II. He was also one of the people we invited. In terms of leadership, I think he is more suitable than you."

"Damn, what you said doesn't count. And, what role can the old antiques from the last century play now?"

"Who knows, maybe it's a big effect?" Nick Fury acted innocently, leaving Tony with nothing to say. But since he had nothing to say, he was just a little bit more straightforward.

"Then please forgive me for losing my companionship. I won't play with you anymore!"

He grabbed the sandwiches on the table and stuffed them all into his mouth. Tony stood up and walked out the door.

Watching him leave, Nick Fury did not stop him, but half twisted his body, put one of his arms on the chair, and then said to him with interest.

"Tony, are you really leaving? Such opportunities are rare!"

"There will always be something, isn't it?"

"I think you can think more about it. I don't know when the next time I want to receive an invitation. Moreover, if you don't go in now, you probably won't even be able to get the status of an elder."

"Don't bother you, Mr. One-eyed Dragon. I don't think your small team can summon the person you want. So, goodbye!" He shook his hand and made a classic farewell ceremony. Tony's intention to leave was almost certain.

No one could stop him, and no one wanted to stop him. He just pushed open the door and walked out easily.

Until he completely disappeared before his eyes, Nick Fury didn't say even a word. However, his expression was not as upset as he was rejected, but was filled with confidence in winning.

This pretending act made Natasha roll her eyes on the side, and she asked in confusion.

"Sir, you are so aggressive to him. Wouldn't there be any problems?"

"You don't understand, Natasha Tony, like his father, can't solve the problem by just asking. The things you get won't be recognized by them, and the rejection from beginning to end will only make them disgusted, so the best way is to hang him like this, and he will take the bait by himself."

"Okay, you're the chief. You're the final word!" Natasha ordered a cup of coffee like an ordinary customer, and asked. "So what else is there to do to help me next? If anything, it's better to say it now. I don't want to risk being discovered and exposed my identity."

Although I really want to say that your identity has been exposed, it will be useless to pretend. But when I think of who has no two quirks, Director Fury suppressed his complaints.

"You can continue your own lurking work. I have already asked someone else to recruit the remaining people." (To be continued.)
