Can you guess...
Who will our old boss suspect is orchestrating the operation against him?"
"..."
This is truly the devil!
Special Agent Hill's face twitched uncontrollably, why is this guy Naraku always targeting Coulson?
Coulson's eyes were vaguely angry, because most of the safe houses were modified by him for Nick Fury, and he basically knew the locations of all the safe houses!
Now…
He's so dirty that even jumping into the Mississippi River wouldn't clean him!
"Shh, quiet…"
Naraku's finger was placed against his lips, and a terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire room, making Coulson and Hill feel as if a heavy weight was crushing them, preventing them from moving an inch!
Naraku pressed the connect button, and he even turned on the speaker on the call interface, and soon the voice familiar to the three of them came from the phone.
"Naraku, it's me."
It was indeed their old boss, Nick Fury.
Coulson and Hill immediately widened their eyes, desperately wanting to muster the strength to speak out some kind of warning to Nick Fury on the other end of the phone!
However…
The pressure in the room quietly increased!
This pressure seemed to be oppressing their souls, not allowing them to open their mouths, so they could only listen to the conversation between Naraku and Nick Fury...
This eerie ability made Coulson and Hill uneasy.
This guy Naraku…
Who exactly is he!
This power no longer resembles that of an ordinary superhero!
Naraku repressed the two in the room once again and casually continued speaking to Nick Fury on the other end of the phone: "Director Fury, if you want to prove your innocence or lift your wanted status, you can contact Director Coulson.
At this point, Naraku broke off his words and softly explained: "Oh, by the way, you might not know yet, Special Agent Coulson has returned, and he's been promoted to the Director of the World Security Council.
Moreover, because he used to be your subordinate, coupled with the severe impact of the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defection, it's Director Coulson who is now handling your case."
After these explanations, Naraku added a sentence: "And one more thing, starting today, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be hunting down the defectors under the command of the World Security Council.
Sorry, Director, regardless of whether you have any connections with Hydra, starting today I no longer have the authority to interfere in the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defection case.
Or you could say, I have no authority to meddle in S.H.I.E.L.D. either.
After all, Special Agent Hill, who returned with Coulson, is more suited than I am to be the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it probably won't be long before I pack my things and leave."
"..."
On the call, Nick Fury remained silent.
As for the office here, Coulson couldn't help but flare up after watching Naraku say these words, and Special Agent Hill listened feeling a little speechless…
This guy…
How exactly does he have the nerve to say these things out loud!
Before framing them, he should at least consider the feelings of the two involved! Especially since he's splashing dirt on them right in front of their faces!
After hearing Naraku's somewhat complaining words, Nick Fury suddenly spoke: "I thought after they returned, the interactions among you old friends would be decent…"
"Maybe…"
Naraku nonchalantly responded, his voice gradually deepening: "We've talked enough today, I don't know whether you belong to Hydra or S.H.I.E.L.D.… Anyway, be more careful in the future, I can't help you anymore."
"I understand."
Nick Fury's voice carried a hint of solace.
Because after receiving this information compilation from Naraku, he did get some news that both unsettled and slightly reassured him.
First…
While the FBI and CIA were investigating him, Naraku apparently didn't involve S.H.I.E.L.D. in this, and must have covered for him, his old boss, in some way.
Otherwise, why has nobody been able to track him down?
This indicates Naraku still has some trust in him deep down.
However, after Coulson and Special Agent Hill returned, with their new identities they took over S.H.I.E.L.D., and within S.H.I.E.L.D. gave orders to hunt down their former director.
Now Naraku has probably been completely reduced to a puppet, it seems if it weren't for his identity as an intern with the Cosmic Peace Organization, he might already be in trouble.
Having completed the information narrative, Nick Fury finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Naraku, judging by what I know of Coulson and Hill, your phone may be monitored by them…"
"I understand."
Naraku sighed and continued: "If it weren't for my position representing Earth in Akatsuki, I might have been taken care of by them long ago, right?
Sorry, no matter what you want to say or do now, I cannot agree to it, Director Fury, I have to think about Earth, and can only stand by and let it all happen."
"Why not consider going all out?"
Nick Fury's voice suddenly grew louder and continued in a deep tone: "We should meet, have a detailed conversation, S.H.I.E.L.D., the Security Council, the Senate, the House, the White House, perhaps they have all been infiltrated by Hydra…"
"Director Fury, I don't want to know these things."
Naraku interrupted Nick Fury, was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke: "A final piece of news, Natasha, Clint, and Captain Steve Rogers have already been listed as wanted."
"Them…"
Nick Fury's voice abruptly stopped.
This was the Avengers Squad he painstakingly built!
And now half of the Avengers Squad are wanted!
Nick Fury took a deep breath, hardly able to believe it, continued to ask: "Then… what about the others?"
"The rest are very well-behaved."
These others Naraku referred to were also members of the Avengers Squad, apparently including himself as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I see."
Nick Fury's heart sank instantly.
"Well, then, let's leave it at that."
Naraku calmly finished speaking, subtly adding: "If you have the chance to meet Natasha, remember to pass on my regards… because next week I won't be in the United States; I'm planning to go on a trip to Africa for a while."
"Africa…"
Nick Fury's brain suddenly flashed images of vast chaotic grasslands and desert landscapes, almost immediately locking onto one country, making his heart feel even heavier.
Africa doesn't have much of note…
Amongst the entire continent, the most valuable place is undoubtedly that hidden super kingdom within a cluster of agricultural nations!
Wakanda!
The most technologically advanced country on Earth!
A technological kingdom secluded on a backward continent, Wakanda, with its rich Vibranium deposits, has leapfrogged to becoming an advanced nation surpassing any civilization on Earth!
However, this country remains low-profile and understated, and its citizens are extremely insular, always presenting as a backward African nation.
Yet Nick Fury knows of Wakanda's existence, after all, the Vibranium now circulating globally has leaked from Wakanda, and as a former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he's always paid particular attention to Wakanda.
"Well… safe travels."
Nick Fury, stabilizing his emotions, began to ponder if Naraku mentioning Africa might have some other implication.
"Same to you."
Naraku's reply was intriguing.
Nick Fury almost instantly made sense of Naraku's simple response, Naraku must be going to Africa, perhaps inviting him to go too!
Thus said…
Maybe they could meet in Wakanda!
It just so happens Wakanda is a country beyond the reach of even S.H.I.E.L.D. or the United States.
Naraku leisurely left with one last riddle: "I hope by then Africa can maintain peace… no, hopefully, the world can remain at peace!"
