I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 129 "Black Braised Egg" borrows money to settle the account
Nick Fury was stunned when he learned that the World Security Council passed a resolution to review and audit S.H.I.E.L.D.

He never expected that the sudden appearance of a magician in England would bring about such a miraculous transformation.

Come to think of it, it's actually normal. Britain is unwilling to give up the opportunity that has fallen from the sky, and America is determined and rude, which will naturally arouse the rebelliousness of Britain's younger brother.

It was originally a two-versus-three situation, but now suddenly a group of people on our side defected, catching the Americans off guard.

"We've bought you a week on the pretext that 'it takes time to form a joint review team'. I don't care what method you use, you must clean up your mess!" Pierce's clone pretended to contact Nick Fury to warn him.

He had already prepared all the necessary black materials for his master, and it was just a matter of when and how his master would use them.

"Thank you." Nick Fury said thank you very sincerely.

Family members know their own business, and these things happening behind his back cannot stand up to scrutiny at all.

In the past, relying on the fact that the American camp always maintained a "three to two" advantage, Nick Fury was fearless and blatantly treated S.H.I.E.L.D. as a private institution of the United States, doing many things that were beneficial to the United States but harmful to the interests of other countries.

Not only is he arrogant in secret, he is also unreasonable in public.

After taking a few minutes to calm down, Nick Fury first found his most trusted henchman, Phil Coulson.

"I want you to clean up all traces of the actions against the Shenlei Bureau two years ago within three days."

Nick Fury had a serious expression and a resolute attitude.

"If you can't clear it, push it to the CIA or the FBI, whichever is more convenient."

"Chief, what's wrong?" Phil Coulson felt something was wrong.

Clearly, the boss had recently asked whether there were any signs of renewed activity in the American branch of the S.H.I.E.A., and asked him to continue to pay close attention.

But now I suddenly want to get rid of it.

"The Board of Directors has approved the review and audit plan for SHIELD. The joint review team will arrive in a week." Nick Fury did not hide it. At this time, he had to mobilize all his strength to finish the matter.

"How could this happen?" Coulson expressed his incomprehension: "Didn't you always fail before?"

"Ah..." Nick Fury sighed. "The London branch went too far this time. I asked him to hire someone, but he just went and blocked the door with weapons."

Coulson remained noncommittal. He knew that this time his colleagues in the London branch were most likely taking the blame for the boss. For such a big matter, a mere branch head would not dare to do such a thing without the boss's approval.

"We can't take care of the magician's affairs for now. Let the big guys above worry about it. Now we must concentrate on dealing with the review team in a week." Nick Fury calmed down and gradually sorted out his thoughts.

Personnel, venues, and weapons are easy to solve, and there is not much difference between actual expenditures and those on the books.

The situation of "eating empty salaries" does exist, but it can be spread out by slightly increasing the invisible benefits on the books.

The eunuch brigade is not afraid either, as the formation of this special operations team has been reported to the Council. Nick Fury even provided each member country with a eunuch who knows the full set of evil-repelling sword techniques, so that everyone benefits.

If we want to cut, let the whole world cut together!

The site has branches and bases in various locations. Some of the bases have fallen into disrepair and the original construction costs can no longer be assessed.

If it really doesn't work, temporarily converting a few warehouses to make up the scene can offset the construction costs.

Arming is easier, but won’t it consume a lot of ammunition?
Nick Fury has never tampered with the large equipment because he knows that this is the real capital of SHIELD.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Hydra had secretly misappropriated funds to transform the helicarrier for the "Insight Project".

The scientific and technological achievements in the review project can be reviewed without providing detailed data and original codes on the grounds of confidentiality, which is also easy to deal with.

Even if the review team is equipped with professional scientists, it is impossible to infer how much research and development funds have been spent without detailed data.

There are special items left over, which is a bit troublesome, but not too troublesome.

Nick Fury had always thought that most of the special items that he could not control had already flown to the sun, leaving only a portion of the items that he could control that he secretly withheld. Anyway, the inventory table had been wiped out, and if you wanted the real thing, you could only go shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

The only thing that gave Nick Fury the most headache was the financial audit. In addition to these major expenses that could be handled, he also deducted a considerable portion of the annual daily operating expenses to provide relief to the Skrull refugees.

Although the amount of funds withheld each year was not much, it had become an astronomical figure after nearly twenty years, and it would not be enough to make up the difference even if the money was sold.

This loophole can be discovered by hiring a good accountant.

Nick Fury isn't leaving anything to chance.

"Tony, I need your help with something." Nick Fury couldn't find anyone else, so he had to ask the rich for help.

"Lend me some money."

Tony Stark was stunned, but he didn't ask any more questions. He asked directly: "How much?"

As the boss of S.H.I.E.L.D., there is no need to borrow money from him unless you encounter a big problem.

"Two billion dollars." Nick Fury said.

'Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off.'

"..."

Nick Fury had a gloomy face and changed his phone number to contact Jarvis directly.

"Sir, he called again." Jarvis reminded Tony Stark who turned around to work.

"Get him out of here!" Tony Stark said angrily, "I'll just lend him tens of millions and treat it as sending away a homeless man. Two billion? Why doesn't he just rob a bank?"

The other party came to borrow money most likely because he was in trouble, and there is an 80% chance that the money will not be returned. After all, how much salary does Nick Fury get in a year?
For dad's sake, it's not impossible to provide tens of millions of dollars in support, but he's asking for 2 billion U.S. dollars right away. Do you think he's the Federal Reserve?

"Sir, he left a message. Do you want to listen to it?" Jarvis asked.

"delete……"

Tony Stark finally gave up and clicked on the message.

"Tony, SHIELD is your father's hard work and a sharp sword in the hands of America. Now the World Security Council is about to send a joint review team to the United States. The enemy's intention is very clear, which is to destroy this sword."

"The world is getting more dangerous and you need help."

Nick Fury's words left Tony Stark silent.

The proud genius has always placed the security of America on his own shoulders, and even boasted that "I alone can maintain world peace." This is not only a harsh remark, but also his inner voice.

Tony Stark is such a proud man!
But the facts kept slapping him in the face. The red shadow of Dongfang Bubai had not yet been eliminated, and the dark cloud of the nano armor was always hanging over his head, forcing him to pursue it day and night without sleep.

Then powerful aliens appeared, and now a magician appeared.

The proud genius in his heart made him unwilling to admit defeat, but he also gradually realized that he needed companions around him, even if they were just helpers.

In the original novel, he realized this thanks to the Avengers who fought together against the aliens.

Now, the enormous pressure has made him realize this in advance.

"Contact Pepper and ask her to go and negotiate, and try to get back some valuable collateral."

Tony Stark believed that "Black Salted Egg" must have a lot of good things in his hands, and maybe he could take them back to increase the power of the armor.

"Okay, sir."
