Chapter 449 I Am the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

"You've crossed the line, teacher."

In the office of the director of the Trident headquarters of SHIELD, Nick Fury stared at the portrait on the holographic screen in front of him, and his tone had lost the previous respect.

"This is my duty, and I hope you can understand."

Alexander Pierce's tone was apologetic, but the expression on his face did not show any retreat.

"I don't understand, and I can't understand, teacher."

Nick Fury put his hands behind his back, and his dark face was particularly gloomy.

"Lenny and the others have found evidence of illegal human experiments conducted by AIM, and found key witnesses and physical evidence!"

"I know, Fury, I know everything, but this is not what the Security Council wants to see..."

Pierce raised his hand and pressed it, trying to appease Nick Fury at once. He knew very well that his student would only take soft words and not hard words.

"But this is SHIELD's responsibility! It is also SHIELD's obligation!"

Nick Fury interrupted Pierce's dissuasion that he wanted to continue.

"Killian is using the Extremis virus to create panic. He has also kidnapped the President of the United States and wants to publicly execute him! Everything he does is a provocation to the laws of the United States!"

Pointing to the SHIELD logo on the wall behind him, he questioned Pierce.

"Have you forgotten what you told me?"

"Fury, you..."

Pierce's tone stagnated, and he couldn't help but recall the past when he was the director.

"Fury, don't meddle in politics if you are not in your position. I am now the Secretary-General, and I am naturally responsible for the Security Council..."

"Then please don't interfere with my decision."

Fury's eyes revealed a few traces of disappointment. He felt more and more that the teacher in front of him was not the same as before.

The teacher at the time hated evil, was fierce and decisive, and was not afraid of power.

But now he is like a different person.

The once brave and fearless dragon slayer has now become a loyal supporter of the evil dragon.

Nick Fury was very disappointed. He only felt that the Secretary-General of the Security Council in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

Pierce was stunned, but soon broke free from his past memories, and there was no abnormality on his face.

"Fury, this is not worth it. You should know that the Security Council has the right to revoke your position as director at any time. I am doing this for your own good. You don't want that yellow-haired girl, Lenny, to take your position so easily, right?"

"Heh, just like when we were in New York?"

Nick Fury sneered. He knew the brain circuits of those idiots in the Security Council too well.

"That's right, Fury, this is not worth it. The United States has already lost Hammer Industries. We can't lose a pioneering technology with such a bright future for this!"

Seeing that Nick Fury was stubborn and could not make sense, Pierce's suppressed anger was also faintly showing a tendency to intensify.

"Killian's actions are indeed a crime that is condemned by both God and man, and he deserves to be severely punished, but not now. The United States needs Avant-garde now, needs..."

"Come on, I think it's the Security Council that needs Avant-garde."

Nick Fury didn't want to listen to Pierce's nagging anymore, and he interrupted him again.

"Teacher, I think you know very well that there are more arms dealers in the United States than just Avant-garde. Even Rockson, which is engaged in oil, can intervene at any time. As long as the military is willing to place an order, it can support another Avant-garde at any time."

Nick Fury stared at the old man in the picture, his eyes had become particularly cold.

"So, it is the Security Council that is reluctant to give up Avant-garde, not the United States."

"Are you trying to go against the Security Council, Nick Fury?!"

However, facing Alexander Pierce's questioning, Nick Fury acted particularly indifferent.

"It's the Security Council that's against SHIELD."

"You!"

Pierce felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and he almost fainted at his "favorite student"!

"I'll ask you one last time, will you withdraw from the A-Tech case or not!"

"Then I'll answer you one last time, I won't."

Nick Fury spit out two words with a ruthless look on his face, and then reached for the close button of the video communication.

"You'll regret it! Nick Fury, the Security Council will definitely revoke your position as director!"

"Then let them revoke it, anyway, this is not the first time."

Nick Fury didn't care at all, SHIELD was no longer the SHIELD that was constrained by the Security Council.

"Oh, by the way, please tell Director Priss for me."

The thumb on the close button paused slightly.

"I am the director of SHIELD!"

After the words fell, the video communication was unilaterally cut off. Nick Fury slowly released his thumb on the screen, and there was no expression on his face.

Turning back to his position, Nick Fury raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

The current situation of SHIELD in its heyday made him feel more pressured. In the United States alone, there were countless forces watching him covetously.

The thick branches supported the towering tree of SHIELD, and with the addition of fresh branches like Lainie, it became more luxuriant, and even had the potential to cover the sky.

More and more people wanted to get close to the shade of this big tree, and more and more forces wanted to climb up the tree along the trunk.

But Nick Fury, who was at the top of the tree, was very sensitive to the fact that this towering tree, which seemed to provide shade and shelter from the sun, was becoming less and less like its original appearance.

Even the roots that created this big tree have become increasingly invisible because they have been tangled underground all year round.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them;

If they are piled up on the shore, the current will be turbulent.

Behind SHIELD's current prosperity, there may be some kind of huge crisis brewing.

The deepest darkness often comes from the brightest places.

Nick Fury has noticed something, but now he doesn't think that day will come so soon.

…

"I am the director of SHIELD!"

The video communication was cut off. Pierce was so angry at these words that he blushed and gasped for a long time before calming down the anger in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Alexander Pierce returned to his former selfless demeanor as the Secretary-General, and turned around to look at the Security Council members beside him.

"I think you heard me, Director Price."

That's right, the video communication just now was not actually a real private contact, but was done deliberately by Pierce.

The angry behavior before was just a performance that Pierce deliberately put on for these directors to see.

The reason is just to let Director Pulis die of his luck.

"He's a good chief."

The director of Hua Guo gave a rare compliment. He rarely praised someone in public because it was not in line with his status.

But this meeting was not public, and there were only five directors present, so he could make some remarks that "only represent himself".

"I agree."

Naturally, the Russian director Ivanov would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule. He came here just to see Pulis's jokes, so he would naturally sneer at him when he got the opportunity.

"Shut up, Ivanov!"

Director Price's face turned red. He was like an ant on a hot pot, about to explode.

"Pierce, I order you to remove Nick Fury as director! Now! Immediately!"

Pierce shrugged, of course he was willing to oblige.

But now the Security Council is not just a forum for him, Director Pulis, and the reason why he privately invited several other directors here this time is to prove this point.

Therefore, Alexander Pierce looked at the other directors present.

"I abstain."

Director Hua Guo was the first to express his position that he did not want to get involved here. This has also been Hua Guo's attitude all along.

However, there is an unwritten rule in the Security Council, that is, even if it does not agree with a proposal, it will not explicitly vote against it.

Abstaining from voting already represents opposition.

The opposition, represented in the Security Council resolution, will be the most extreme attitude.

The result of such a statement is often the last thing people want to happen, that is - war.

"I also abstain."

"I agree"

The answers of Director Ivanov and the French Director were expected by everyone, but the speech of the British female director who followed the French Director was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

"I also abstain."

Unexpectedly, Ms. Holly, the British director, did not follow Director Price's decision as usual. Instead, she calmly abstained from voting.

5 people, 2 voted in favor, 0 voted against, and 3 abstained.

On the surface, the result of the vote was that Director Pulis’ proposal was passed with 2 votes in favor, but what it represented behind the scenes was another matter.

Everyone looked at Director Holly with different looks. The faces of the Chinese and Russian directors showed interest, while the French director looked thoughtful.

None of them expected that the British Council would suddenly make such a statement. Although the proposal this time was not made public, the attitude of Director Holly's locked head could not help but make people think.

A strange look flashed across Pierce's face, but he quickly thought of a certain old and immortal woman.

However, he didn't say anything, but smiled slightly, and then carried out the proposal with a normal expression.

My neck is much better, but there is still a dull pain when I turn my head sideways. Cheng Zi has never had a stiff neck, and I didn’t expect it to be so uncomfortable...

For the time being, the updates will be updated once a day for the time being, so that I can save my manuscripts and save my attendance in the future due to insufficient manuscripts.
