Chapter 13:
In the following time, the focus was on how to arrange for Wanda and conduct undercover training for Alex .
"Where is this place? And who are all these people? What are you going to do?"
As if sensing something unusual about Alex , as soon as Wanda arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "Helicarrier One", she fired three questions at him in a row.
Facing Wanda's questioning, Alex naturally didn't dare to tell the truth. If this girl found out he was going to be an undercover agent, she definitely wouldn't agree.
With no other choice, Alex could only lie and say that the school was in the reconstruction phase. In order to protect the students' safety, they were temporarily relocated to "Helicarrier One".
To help Alex cover up this lie, Nick Fury specially brought the entire school's people onto "Helicarrier One".
"You brought so many people up here. Aren't you afraid of exposing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence?"
Facing Alex confusion, Nick Fury simply said calmly:
"Times are advancing, and technology is developing. In the future, we will have to face challenges from other worlds. At that time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence will still be exposed to the public."
"Since it will be made public sooner or later, why not make things convenient for the smooth execution of the mission?"
After listening to Nick Fury's words, Alex keenly caught several key pieces of information.
Because of his own existence, many timelines in this world seemed to have undergone a certain degree of change.
Alex himself didn't know whether these changes were good or bad for this universe.
After all, Alex had studied the butterfly effect of timelines quite deeply.
He was very worried that because of some of his actions, the originally predetermined events would change and trigger a series of irreversible disasters.
Seeing Alex standing there in a daze, Nick Fury thought he was shocked after learning about the existence of aliens.
He even specially walked over and patted Alex shoulder, signaling him not to worry.
What he didn't know was that the seemingly ordinary freshman in front of him knew far more secrets about this universe than he did.
Alex also smiled at Nick Fury, indicating that he was fine.
"Let's talk about the undercover mission."
"嗯, alright."
As he spoke, Alex followed Nick Fury into a conference room.
Inside the conference room, Black Widow, Tony, and Hawkeye had already been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the two enter, Black Widow handed over all the information she had collected, along with the forged documents, to Alex .
Nick Fury, standing to the side, said:
"These are some of Kingpin's hobbies and habits, as well as personal information on several of his capable subordinates."
"Your mission this time is to infiltrate Kingpin's organization and find an opportunity to replace him. At that time, Hawkeye and Natasha will provide support."
After listening to Nick Fury and the others' plan, Alex was speechless.
They clearly had superheroes like Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Tony, yet when facing a human criminal like Kingpin, they were so cautious and timid every day.
No wonder there were more and more criminals in America — it was all because S.H.I.E.L.D. spoiled them.
If it were according to Alex personality, he would have long ago used force to fight his way straight into Kingpin's lair. At that point, who would still dare to stand out?
Next, Black Widow and the others continued to explain their formulated plan to Alex in detail.
But in reality, the people explaining were very serious, while the person listening let it go in one ear and out the other.
Soon, Alex undercover training course ended.
Hawkeye drove Alex to the downstairs of Kingpin's building. Before Alex got out of the car, Hawkeye kept confirming some details with him until he had confirmed them three times before reluctantly leaving.
Watching Hawkeye's car disappear at the end of the road, Alex instantly seemed like a different person.
He strode with big steps toward the interior of the building.
"Beep!"
A piercing alarm sounded!
More than a dozen well-trained men in sunglasses instantly appeared around Alex .
"Sorry sir, please hand over any dangerous items you are carrying."
Hearing the sunglasses men's words, Alex couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What? Does the great underworld boss Kingpin, who does all kinds of evil deeds every day, actually fear death so much in the end?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately provoked extreme hostility from the sunglasses men.
Meanwhile, the lobby manager who had been observing the situation from the side also notified Kingpin on the top floor through the walkie-talkie.
"Let him come up."
Even before Alex arrived, Kingpin had been very curious about the student on the streets who was said to have an inexhaustible supply of goods.
Soon, Alex was escorted by a group of sunglasses men into the elevator and brought to the top floor.
Pushing open the three-meter-tall heavy door, Alex entered an opulent office that looked like an ancient palace.
At this moment, Kingpin's subordinates stood filling every corner of the office.
Following the red carpet under his feet, Alex quickly saw Kingpin sitting behind the huge desk in the center.
When Alex saw Kingpin's burly physique that resembled a small Hulk, he began to somewhat understand why Nick Fury chose such a complicated plan. With Kingpin's build, even Alex wasn't sure if Hawkeye could withstand a single slap from him.
[Wolverine's Self-Healing] activated! [Professor X's Telepathy] activated! [Magneto's Magnetic Field Manipulation] activated!
After stacking three abilities on himself in a row, Alex looked at Kingpin with eyes that regarded him as prey.
Sensing Alex gaze, Kingpin immediately felt as if he had been insulted.
Even though the other party had been introduced as a collaborator, daring to provoke him with such a look was undoubtedly courting death in Kingpin's eyes.
However, Kingpin still had great interest in this young man who looked to be only around twenty years old.
So Kingpin suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said:
"You are the student they mentioned? You have an endless supply of goods?"
Alex treated Kingpin's question as if he hadn't heard it and said to himself:
"If I kill you, can I take your position?"
As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.
The subordinates standing in the corners were so scared they even forgot to breathe.
At this moment, Alex looked like a dead man in their eyes.
"Heh!"
A cold laugh rang out.
Immediately after, the huge desk that had been quietly placed there was flung toward Alex with one hand by Kingpin.
Fuck, why is it made of wood!
Seeing the solid wood desk getting closer and closer, yet unable to control it, Alex could only immediately stack another ability on himself.
[Quicksilver's Super Speed]!
Alex turned into a white streak of lightning and instantly appeared behind Kingpin.
Kingpin's eyes widened.
The next moment, he was sent flying.
Seeing their boss get beaten, the subordinates beside him all pulled out their weapons and unleashed a barrage of fire at Alex .
But in the next instant, all the bullets seemed to be caught by an invisible hand and stopped in mid-air.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, they actually reversed direction and aimed at the crowd.
