Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 721 A salute to our Chief Nick Fury! From now on, he can only trust us!

German secret letter…

Kill the traitor Red Skull...

The order was initiated by Hitler…

One keyword after another gathered in the mind of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named William, and he vaguely felt a large net sweeping towards him.

"This isn't mine, I didn't know..."

Agent William shook his head, his face pale.

Because Agent William truly knew nothing about these things.

The agent in charge of the investigation thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "We're not discussing whose this is, but why this German-language coded letter was destroyed at your residence..."

"I have no idea!"

"I don't know what's going on!"

Agent William instantly went into a frenzy. He knew that what he should do at this moment was not to confess, but to vehemently deny everything!

As an agent, William knew very well that only by consistently denying these things could he hope to shake off their hints; he absolutely could not be fooled!

The agent in charge of the investigation shook his head, looking unconvinced, and calmly continued, "Agent William, after the salvage operation ended, I heard that Agent Coulson went to your house. Was it because of this German-language coded letter?"

As we all know, you and Agent Coulson are both fans of Captain Steve Rogers. Is that why you destroyed this German-language coded letter?

"No...no..."

Agent William quickly shook his head, his face showing a bewildered look, repeatedly saying, "I don't know... I don't know... This has nothing to do with us..."

"It doesn't matter."

The agent in charge of the investigation shook his head, held up the coded letter in front of William, and sighed, "Anyway, this evidence is enough to ensure that you, Coulson, and your idolized Captain Steve Rogers are all doomed..."

"..."

William's body suddenly stiffened.

The next moment, the man suddenly sprang up and grabbed the bag containing the secret German letter, trying to snatch the evidence away!

However, the other agents were already on guard…

The gunshot instantly shook the entire basement!

On the other side of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

After returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Coulson greeted everyone present with great enthusiasm. Even after becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Coulson's personality remained as warm as ever, and he was always well-liked.

"Hello, James..."

"Hello, Commander Coulson..."

"Good afternoon, Bella..."

"Good afternoon, Coulson. Did you hear? It's William's turn for the investigation!"

"..."

Coulson's expression froze for a second.

Because Agent William was his subordinate, their relationship was fairly good, especially since they were both fans of Captain America.

Especially after they successfully retrieved Captain America, Coulson was invited to William's house, where the two celebrated this great achievement together...

The sudden investigation of William made Coulson uneasy, because Coulson believed that William could not possibly be a Hydra spy…

However, vetting is something that every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent can't avoid...

Just as Coulson was about to casually inquire about the results of the investigation, he saw an agent with a grim expression walk over. This agent happened to have been his subordinate before.

"George, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"..."

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent slowly shook his head and lowered his head, saying, "Commander Coulson, go check the archives department quickly, there seems to be a problem there..."

"That's not Agent Hill..."

"Agent Hill is absent; it seems to be related to our salvage operation..."

"I see."

Coulson nodded hastily and immediately headed towards the archives department. If there were any problems with the Arctic Ocean salvage operation, he, as the person directly in charge, would be held responsible.

When Coulson arrived at the archives, he discovered it was a minor matter. The internal staff responsible for organizing the Arctic Ocean operation found that the video footage of Agent William's salvage operation was simply not clear enough.

All of these videos, including documents and reports, will be uploaded to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database for future use by Nick Fury or others who need them.

This is something that cannot be taken lightly.

Due to the investigation of William, details regarding the Arctic salvage operation can only be provided temporarily by Coulson, the person in charge who is accompanying William on the operation…

The two exchanged a few words briefly.

The archives staff left the room under some pretext, leaving Coulson alone watching videos of their past work, as if he were watching a documentary, observing the entire process of his idol being rescued.

A few minutes later, the archives staff returned and chatted with Coulson about some trivial matters related to the salvage operation.

"If Agent Coulson wants, I can make a copy and send it to you, or give you the original. It seems like it would be interesting to edit it into a documentary..."

"May I?"

"sure."

The archives staff member looked down and searched for a moment before handing Coulson a hard drive: "Making a documentary yourself would be really interesting..."

"yes…"

This matter did not attract Coulson's attention.

In the afternoon, a voluptuous female agent returned to the archives department and began reviewing the work reports of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Her name is Hill.

Hill was once an elite female agent under Nick Fury. Some time ago, Nick Fury promoted her from a field agent to the officer in charge of internal affairs.

As Hill looked down at the files on the screen, her brow suddenly furrowed. She noticed that some data about the Arctic Ocean salvage operation was missing; the video footage of the salvage operation for Captain America, Steve Rogers, had been completely deleted…

"What's going on?"

Hill frowned slightly, then suddenly called to the person next to him, "Try to recover the data, and while you're at it, pull up the internal recordings of the archives department..."

"yes…"

"Hurry up!"

The results were not very good.

To the somewhat embarrassing part, the data seemed to have been completely deleted and could not be recovered at all; even the original storage backup was nowhere to be found.

"that…"

One of the archives staff cautiously spoke up, "Agent Coulson seemed to have been in the archives this afternoon and took a storage hard drive from me..."

"Retrieve the work recordings!"

Hill's face instantly turned extremely ugly!

Fortunately...

The archives department's work video was quickly retrieved.

Everything else in the video was normal, except that Coulson had suddenly appeared today. After exchanging a few words with the staff from the archives department, he had someone leave the room…

then…

Coulson sat alone in front of the computer in the archives for a while…

After a while, when the staff from the archives department returned, Coulson chatted with them for a few more minutes and took a storage disk from the archives department, which made Hill frown slightly.

What does this mean?

Did something go wrong here?

Why did Coulson send the person away, and why did he take the storage hard drive? This action alone makes one wonder...

"I'll go find Coulson..."

Hill simply left her seat and went to Coulson to find out what was going on, because she knew her old friend's temperament.

After Hill left.

The subordinates who had been sitting near her exchanged glances, each lowering their heads with a strange smile playing on their lips. One of them quietly deleted all the recordings from that day.

Unfortunately, Hill didn't have time to find Coulson.

Coulson received information that his subordinate and friend William had died in the S.H.I.E.L.D. underground interrogation room.

The investigators seemed to have a shred of humanity, hoping Coulson would go to the interrogation room to help collect the body and send his friend off on his final journey.

Coulson walked into the interrogation room like a zombie; he simply couldn't believe his subordinate was a Hydra member…

new York.

Safe house.

Nick Fury visited Bruce Banner and invited the superhero who could transform into the Hulk to join him in attacking Hydra's base.

Bruce Banner agreed to help if necessary.

If a human weapon of war were to join the battle, the outcome of the war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra would be predictable. Those newly emerging terrorists would certainly suffer a more severe blow than during World War II.

therefore…

Nick Fury was in a good mood.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. uncovered numerous Hydra spies, the battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra proceeded very smoothly.

Steve Rogers single-handedly changed the situation!

This put Nick Fury in a great mood, and he was even planning to get Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner to join the war against Hydra!

The Avengers are really useful.

Just as Nick Fury was thinking about who to contact Tony Stark, his phone suddenly rang, and a somewhat cautious voice reached his ears.

"Sir, this is Agent Kurt, a Level 5 agent in charge of the archives department. Something happened today that I feel I should report to you: some of the video footage from the Arctic Ocean salvage operation has been deleted, and the originals have been taken by Agent Coulson..."

"This matter falls under the responsibility of your superior, Hill."

Nick Fury's brows furrowed immediately.

The Level 5 agent hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But Commander Hill deleted all the Archives Department's work footage from today and ordered us to keep it a secret that Agent Coulson took the originals. She said she would handle everything..."

"..."

Nick Fury fell into deep thought.

As a true master of espionage, Nick Fury is extremely meticulous.

The real purpose of the Arctic Ocean salvage operation was to rescue Captain America, Steve Rogers. Nick Fury didn't have many doubts about the success of the operation because Coulson had completed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan and brought Captain America back to them.

It looks like this now…

There may be some suspicious points in the Arctic Ocean salvage operation.

Nick Fury thought for a moment, and just as he was about to give the order, another phone call suddenly came in!

Nick Fury could only hastily issue an order: "Agent Kurt, I will return to Washington immediately. Tell Agent Hill to stay at her post and wait for me..."

"yes!"

The Level 5 agent immediately agreed.

However, after they hung up the phone, the agent named Kurt gathered several colleagues and left to search for Hill's whereabouts at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

On the other side...

Nick Fury gave an order and answered another call, a barrage of roars and screams piercing his eardrums!

"Sir, Steve Rogers is loyal to Hitler!"

"Commander Coulson, put down your gun!"

"Phil Coulson, how dare you!"

"..."

The sounds on the phone were chaotic.

Nick Fury's expression instantly turned grim. He hastily waved to his men and, with a stern face, ordered, "Quickly, return to Washington immediately!"

Nick Fury, while loudly urging for a helicopter to be dispatched, gripped his phone tightly: "Give your cell phone to Cole now..."

"I will never allow anyone to slander Captain Rogers!"

"Agent Coulson, wake up!"

"You Hydra's scheming and plotting..."

"Agent Coulson, we're not those Hydra guys!"

Just as the argument was still going on on the other end of the phone, a sharp gunshot gave Nick Fury a headache, and his phone call was instantly cut off.

No one knows what happened on the other end of the phone.

It's estimated that the phone, which was making a call, was shattered by the shot.

Nick Fury quickly dialed Hill's number, whom he thought was the most likely person to stop Coulson, but then he suddenly remembered what the previous agent had reported.

Coulson took the video disc of the Arctic Ocean salvage operation…

Hill deleted the work recordings that Coulson had taken from the video hard drive…

Although it was only a short time, Nick Fury had already figured everything out. He quickly connected all the clues and came to a conclusion that was close to the truth.

There are questions surrounding the Arctic Ocean salvage operation.

There might be evidence detrimental to Steve Rogers, such as the fact that this Captain America was loyal to Hitler, the leader of the Third Reich, or something like that…

To be honest, Nick Fury didn't want to believe this.

However, the conflict that has now occurred at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in Washington proves that this is not something he can ignore simply because he doesn't want to believe it; there may indeed be some problems involved.

The most important thing now is to get back to Washington immediately!

Nick Fury urged them to speed up while trying to call Coulson and Hill, but their phones were constantly busy.

However, when Nick Fury finally managed to call the others at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, he received some bad news... Hill and Coulson had escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters with a crucial piece of evidence and vanished without a trace.

However, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, out of respect for their superiors, dared not use excessive force against them, and even when they did fire, they only aimed to wound them.

The only good news…

Basically, the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents collected all the information surrounding Coulson and Hill's defection and placed it on the director's desk...

Some of these materials are missing.

However, even if some information is missing, as long as Nick Fury goes through the remaining information, he will be able to directly reveal the truth of this incident!

In a warehouse in Washington, D.C.

Hill and Coulson, who had just escaped from a group of agents chasing them, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their first thought was to contact Nick Fury.

Regardless, the two of them ultimately chose to believe their boss.

However, two dark figures appeared silently behind them and knocked Coulson and Agent Hill unconscious with a single chop to the neck!

When Coulson and Hill woke up, they were locked in a dungeon and saw a familiar-looking man sitting outside their cell.

"Hello, Agent Coulson, Agent Hill."

The man leisurely handed them two glasses of juice, smiling at his colleagues with an exceptionally kind and friendly expression.

"Welcome to the luxurious VIP double room I have prepared for you..."

"At this point, I think we should have a glass of juice to celebrate..."

"From this moment forward, we celebrate that Director Nick Fury will only have people he can trust... To our Director Nick Fury, long live Hydra!"

good night!

Big chapter!
