In the chaotic parking lot.
Nick Fury looked down at the news released by the World Security Council on his phone, watching his former confidant Coulson become a high-ranking official, his eyes involuntarily twitching.
As Coulson's former boss, Nick Fury could be said to have personally trained the rookie Coulson into a top agent, and now this old boss can only shrink in his driver's seat, curling up to spend a cold night in the car.
When faced with trouble, humans can't help but overthink.
Today, those safe houses once built have been destroyed by S.H.I.E.L.D., forcing Nick Fury to hide in this dilapidated parking lot to avoid capture;
Today, Coulson, who once defected from S.H.I.E.L.D., has returned and become a senior officer of the World Security Council, which oversees S.H.I.E.L.D.
These two matters together...
Really leave Nick Fury no room to think crazily!
Besides, most of those safe houses were actually handled by Coulson, Fury's former trusted aide, during their construction.
Fury's eyes slowly filled with pain, the subordinate he trained himself has become the killer who wants to see him dead: "If there's really no relation between these two matters... I guess even Uehara himself wouldn't believe it?"
Nick Fury lay back in his seat, pondering everything he's gone through, how he went from being a director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to today's point of being betrayed by all?
Since he thought he could fake his death and leave S.H.I.E.L.D., thinking he could devise a way to reveal Hydra that was hidden within, yet he hasn't found Hydra, instead, he's struggling to survive...
Moreover, looking at it now, Coulson, who was once his trusted confidant, has also betrayed him, who then is worth his trust?
Nick Fury looked down at the photos on his phone, looking at the inconspicuous Uehara Naraku standing next to Coulson, his fingers slowly rubbing the screen...
It's not over yet!
He must take a risk to meet with Uehara Naraku!
As long as he can meet with Uehara Naraku, Nick Fury is confident he can persuade Naraku to believe him; then he can obtain intelligence from the World Security Council, slowly investigate Hydra infiltrating the United States' high-ranking positions, and uncover the truth!
Nick Fury regretted it a bit...
If he had known that when he faked his death and left, he should have arranged everything with Uehara Naraku in advance so he could remote control the situation...
Originally, Nick Fury just worried that Uehara Naraku was too naive and might be extracted for information; now he has to find a way to regain the loyalty of his old subordinate.
"Hope he's not asleep yet..."
Nick Fury's fingers dialed Uehara Naraku's number, a glint of light flashed in his single eye: "But judging by the news, perhaps he also won't sleep well tonight..."
Uehara Naraku once pursued Coulson.
After Coulson returned, he transformed from a defector to a senior officer of the World Security Council, and perhaps did something to upset Uehara Naraku.
New York.
A secret underground base of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Uehara Naraku sat cross-legged in the office at the base, finished looking at the latest news released by the World Security Council on the virtual screen in front of him, and smiled as he turned his head to look at Special Agent Coulson, who was handcuffed to a chair.
"How's it going?"
Uehara Naraku crossed his arms, chuckling as he asked, "I just got the director position at S.H.I.E.L.D. not long ago and directly arranged for you to have a director position in the World Security Council, a position Director Pierce held, isn't your old friend here treating you well?"
"...…"
Coulson could only curse internally.
What astonished him was not Uehara Naraku's strange line of thought, but Naraku's attitude of summoning the World Security Council at will!
This guy...
How can he arrange such things with just one word?
How firmly does Uehara Naraku hold the World Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D., why is the World Security Council willing to heed his commands?
Special Agent Hill furrowed her brows, glanced at the unamused Coulson, then looked at the arrogantly written all over Uehara: "Uehara Naraku, what exactly are you planning? Do you want to toy with Coulson?"
"Please call me Director Uehara."
Uehara Naraku corrected Hill's term and pointed at Coulson, handcuffed beside Hill: "Please call Mr. Coulson as Director Coulson, now the whole world knows that former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Mr. Coulson has been promoted and received a raise, as for what I plan to do..."
Uehara Naraku couldn't help but laugh, glanced at the phone sitting on the table, smilingly said: "Don't be anxious, just wait a while longer, you'll know soon enough."
Buzz…
Buzz…
Buzz…
The phone on the desk suddenly started vibrating.
Uehara Naraku picked up the phone, gesturing to them, shown was an unfamiliar number, but Uehara Naraku never does anything pointless, obviously, the number calling in the dead of night is significant.
"Let's make a bet!"
Uehara Naraku's finger paused on the dial button, chuckling as he continued: "Let's guess who could be calling? I feel it's someone we all know..."
"...Director Nick Fury!"
Special Agent Hill's mind instantly flashed to their old boss, bald egghead: "Everything you arranged today was to attract Director Fury!"
"That's right..."
Uehara Naraku slowly nodded, not answering the call, instead, yawning first: "I ordered the Special Ops team to deliberately target and destroy all his safe houses, and had Coulson's promotion news released on the news...
