but……
A qualified leader always considers both sides of an issue.
A high level of emotional intelligence means having foresight.
As for low emotional intelligence.
Looking ahead and behind!
What if the truth is really as Luke said?
Did his brother really do these things?
After regaining his senses, Nick Fury couldn't help but have this thought pop into his mind.
When his emotions were running high, Nick Fury thought his brother was stupid, reckless, and had all sorts of vices, but his own brother would never do such a thing.
But now that reason has prevailed, Nick Fury suddenly realized that his brother, in fact, wasn't entirely incapable of doing these things.
If that's the case, then if he chooses to confront the FBI head-on, the consequences will definitely be dire.
His former boss, Alexander Pierce, had already spoken to him about it.
Because he chose to make a big fuss about this matter, the East Asian council and the Russian council are already very dissatisfied with him.
Nick Fury was well aware that he had never been liked by the East or Russia. Since he took office, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had rarely been able to carry out missions in the East or Russia.
Even Russia, after he came to power, followed the example of the East and created a Guardian Alliance.
Right now, if he lets this matter get out of control and the outcome isn't what he wants...
no doubt.
He's definitely not going to keep his position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Dongguo council members, who are inherently morally fastidious, will definitely seize this opportunity to cause trouble.
The Russian council will certainly join in and set things ablaze.
but……
He's already stirred things up; it's not like we're going to make him admit defeat now.
Frankly speaking.
Nick Fury was quite unwilling to accept this.
not to mention……
Nick Fury thinks so!
We might not lose!

Chapter 233 Lu Ke, who messed up the marriage (Second update, please subscribe!!)
Men are all gamblers.
The only difference is whether you're a foolish gambler or a smart gambler.
Ben Starsiak was a foolish gambler.
He was just like those gamblers who went into the casino and came out clean, but didn't know or even believe they had lost. He had no idea where he went wrong.
Ben Starsiak lost for a simple reason.
He didn't even realize that there was no place for him in this betting game.
This was a VIP bet between Luke and Nick Fury.
He wasn't even qualified to sit at the table.
A nobody who forces his way onto the table will always end up with only one outcome: becoming pure cannon fodder.
There will be no exceptions to this result.
Nick Fury and Luke, on the other hand, belong to the category of smart gamblers.
However, there are still obvious differences between the two.
Nick Fury still wanted to take a gamble.
He was unwilling to fold directly, since he had already invested some chips in the early stages.
If Nick Fury were to fold now, the consequences would be irreversible.
For example, the East Asian council members and the Russian council members plan to convene a Security Council meeting to discuss whether he is qualified to continue serving as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This is the message Nick Fury received this morning after waking up.
But he didn't have the courage to go all in.
Right now, the Security Council is only discussing whether he is qualified to continue serving. But if he chooses to go all in, the Security Council will no longer be discussing whether he is qualified to continue, but will directly discuss the selection of a new director for S.H.I.E.L.D.
and so!
As a shrewd gambler, Nick Fury found a compromise.
He brought Ben Starsiak with him today and gave Ben Starsiak to Luke. This was tantamount to throwing out a chip, intending to secretly see what Luke's hand was.
Again.
The bet is still in the open, and neither side has broken off relations yet.
This is why, despite the flurry of media speculation over the past three days, no third-party forces have intervened, simply observing Nick Fury's National Security Agency and Luke Dane's FBI.
Nick Fury was unwilling to fold directly, but he was also unwilling to go all in. So, the best way was to take advantage of the fact that the rules were still in the open, and since he happened to have a traitor that Luke wanted, he might as well throw it out as a chip to secretly see Luke's hole cards.
"In private, not in the public eye."
"what?"
Luke raised an eyebrow as he heard Nick Fury's words.
Nick Fury stared at Luke with his one eye and said directly, "I want to see the evidence in this case, right here in this small conference room."
Luke looked at Nick Fury thoughtfully: "You've finished watching it, and then what if the result isn't what you wanted?"
Nick Fury took a deep breath: "I admit all my mistakes and will take full responsibility for the consequences."
Lu Ke smiled.
"What if I lose in the end?"
"To clear my brother's name."
"No."
Luke shook his head directly.
Nick Fury frowned: "What?"
Luke chuckled and said, "Director Fury, that's not how the deputy director plays. Admitting all mistakes and taking full responsibility for the consequences. You already placed your bet the first time. Forgot? Your current chips, Ben Stassiak, can only be said to be qualified to see my hole cards, but that's all. You haven't even placed your bet yet to let me see my hole cards."
What a joke.
Who would go into a gambling game, pick up the chips they've already thrown in, and throw them in again?
No casino would allow such a thing to happen.
Luke had no objection to Nick Fury's idea of secretly seeing the cards.
Put it plainly.
In this bet set up by Luke, Nick Fury was not the opponent he was waiting for.
Daniel Whitehead is the real opponent this time.
Nick Fury was, at best, an expected uninvited guest before Daniel Whitehorn arrived for the betting game.
Luke approached Nick Fury with a rather indifferent attitude, and decided to engage in this stunt.
Since he might need to deal with Nick Fury frequently in the future, it would be a good opportunity to test his abilities.
And this time, Nick Fury is playing by the rules.
He didn't intend to kill them all.
and so!
Luke smiled slightly and looked at Nick Fury.
"Chief Fury, I have a suggestion."
"explain."
"Surrender and lose half."
Luke smiled and looked at Nick Fury: "Surrender now, and I'll consider you to have lost half. There's no need for apologies. After all, it's probably quite difficult for you to get the National Security Agency to apologize to our FBI. So, if you admit defeat now, you can take back the apology you're owed."
There was a pause.
Looking at Nick Fury, whose expression clearly indicated he didn't want this outcome, Luke shook his head and said, "Or, you could think about what other chips you have to offer in exchange for my cards."
He actually doesn't like gambling.
Because not gambling is the key to winning!
This is what Luke believes in.
Moreover, he was taught that he was mortal with gambling and drugs.
But he couldn't resist others insisting on betting with him.
Luke shook his head and looked at Nick Fury: "Director Fury, I sincerely suggest you take my first piece of advice. There are three great illusions in life. When you think you're going to win this round, actually, you've already lost."
talking.
Luke remained silent, sipping his bourbon.
at this time.
A thud.
The door to the small conference room was pushed open from the outside, and then Jack and Natasha walked in one after the other.
