Chapter 223: To my Shock, Captain America is not Dead!
No one knows where the Ancient One has gone, and no one knows that the Ancient One has been here…
On the other side…
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, in the Office of the Director of the Triskelion Building.
After Fury fully accepted the concerns and condolences from the World Security Council, the online meeting came to an end.
In fact, Fury knows what these people think.
They don’t care whether Gotham will be destroyed in the end, anyway, they are not the ones who will get affected the most.
What’s more, the main business of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to deal with supernatural events. Strictly speaking, Bane is not their scope of work at all.
It’s just that Bane’s threat to the government by hijacking a nuclear bomb has too much influence, and it has caused an uproar around the world, so S.H.I.E.L.D. was naturally not indifferent to it.
However, Phantom Kid moved too fast, making the elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agents appear useless.
Those who can serve as the five permanent members of the Security Council cannot be fools. They know that Fury has made no big mistakes.
They just want to use this pretext to put pressure on Fury to cut expenses.
Because S.H.I.E.L.D. needs too much funding; its annual funding is even more than the annual GDP of many countries!
When Alexander was the governor, S.H.I.E.L.D. was already a huge gold swallower.
No one expected Fury to be more ruthless than him after he came to power, asking for more money every year!
If it weren’t for the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. can come up with black technology products that surpass the times every year, maybe one day the World Security Council will break up S.H.I.E.L.D. ‘s organization.
Especially in the past two years, Fury wanted to study the infinite energy in the Cosmic Cube and master it and has also formulated a series of research and development plans.
In order to study this Cosmic Cube, the carrier of space gem, the funds needed are absolutely astronomical.
This has placed considerable financial pressure on the World Security Council.
It is a pity that the Security Council has a good abacus, and Fury is not a fool. Facing the above accusations, he took them one by one, but as long as the word “money” is mentioned, Fury can’t be reduced if he bites to death.
Are you blaming us for our ineffectiveness? Simple, the reason is that we are short of money. And who is willing to work for us if we are short on money? You have the full ability; you can make S.H.I.E.L.D. close its agency or flourish, at the same time!
As for now, curse S.H.I.E.L.D. as much as you like!
«Anyway, I have been the director for so many years, and I have many hidden secrets in my mind. It is not something you can change if you want!»
«I have no fear!»
Of course, Fury can’t say these words, but that’s the truth.
In the end, the Security Council still failed to get any benefits from Fury, but after scolding and venting, it was not without gain.
After cutting off the online meeting, Fury rested in a chair with a blank face; interacting with the politicians is tiring and disgusting.
“Bzzz~”
Suddenly, the mobile phone on Fury’s desk vibrated. Someone is calling him.
Fury picked it up and saw that it was Coulson.
“Coulson, have you found the wreck of the Valkyrie from that year?”
“Yes sir, it was discovered by a Russian oil expedition, our team has thoroughly examined everything inside… You must have no idea what we found in it.”
Speaking of this, Coulson’s tone trembled inexplicably. He wasn’t sure whether it was because of the freezing air of the North Pole or uncontrollable emotion.
Fury’s face darkened upon hearing this, “Coulson, you know I don’t like anyone to screw with me.”
“Sorry, sir, it’s just that our discovery is so exciting, and I’m sure the whole world will be shocked by it!”
Fury was even more puzzled. Isn’t it an oil tanker that has been missing for many years, how is it now big news?
“Did you find the wreckage of an alien spaceship or something?”
“No, more exciting than that, we’ve found America’s spiritual symbol – Captain America!”
“He’s on the Valkyrie, he’s still alive!”
Coulson refrained from his surging inner report.
“Although he has been frozen here for more than 70 years, he is not dead! The medical team has repeatedly confirmed this fact, but the conditions here are too rudimentary to wake him up on the spot.”
“You’re saying that Captain America is still alive?!”
Fury’s eyes widened. The news is too surprising.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has been working on finding Captain America for decades, and it never gave up even when Fury came to power.
It’s not that they believe that Captain America is not dead, but they hope to find his body and study the super-soldier serum through Captain America’s DNA.
Therefore, whenever something happens over the North Pole, S.H.I.E.L.D. will send someone to check it first.
He really didn’t think that Captain America was still alive.
“Coulson, send the captain’s body… to the headquarters as soon as possible!”
“I will, sir.”
After that, Coulson hung up the phone to arrange an escort mission.
Captain America has the dual identity of the American spiritual symbol and the perfect super-soldier and has an extremely terrifying reputation in this world.
It’s unknown how many people are coveting the super-soldier serum in this world. S.H.I.E.L.D. must move fast and keep it strictly confidential.
“Hopefully, Coulson can successfully send the captain back.”
“If Captain America can really be resurrected, then that plan should be brought forward…”
Fury was lost in thought.
After a while, he picked up the phone again and dialed a special line number.
“Sir?”
The other party questioned.
“It’s about time, you immediately transfer Dr. Selvig ‘there’ in full secrecy.”
Fury gave an order.
“Roger!”
The next day.
Mathison’s figure suddenly appeared in the basement of the abandoned warehouse.
Different from entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber before, this time, his movements were completely stealthy, hence he didn’t alarm the Ancient One.
After some consideration, Mathison decided to directly spend a lot of time in the hyperbolic time chamber.
He has twenty-four hours of use, and this time he directly used twenty-three hours.
Only the last hour was left.
Converted to the time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, it is about half a month.
Mathison intends to use the remaining time as a life-saving trump card. If he gets exhausted, he will directly transfer himself into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and will come out in a full state after a few minutes.
Through yesterday’s experience, teleporting into the spiritual time room was an instant thing, and Mathison felt no delay at all.
Perhaps only a being of the Ancient One’s level can detect the abnormality at that moment, but beings of this level are not something that Mathison can currently handle.
In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, full of rich magic elements, he trained for nearly a year.
Mathison’s magic level has changed drastically from a day ago.
His magic power has increased to the B-level, and it is possible for him now to use several large-scale magic in a row without difficulty.
Mathison finally has enough confidence to deal with the upcoming battle in New york.
He has a bold idea…
