He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 57 Nick Fury's Suspicion

Hearing Nick Fury's commanding tone, Tony curled his lip, poured himself a drink, and couldn't help but reply with a hint of sarcasm:

"Then I won't trouble you. I've already planned to hold a press conference tomorrow to officially reveal my identity as Iron Man."

"If you have the energy, you should hurry up and check your S.H.I.E.L.D. I've heard that most of the higher-ups in your organization have become Hydra agents. S.H.I.E.L.D. might as well be renamed Snake Shield Agency soon."

Since returning from the kidnapping incident, Tony Stark has changed a lot. He has realized the mistakes he and the Stark Industries had made, and he has developed a strong sense of social responsibility.

Especially later, when he created the Iron Man suit and then personally went to deal with those terrorists while wearing it, this sense of responsibility was amplified even more.

As the news is saying, Iron Man is a true superhero, and he himself believes so.

However, this does not mean that his personality and behavioral habits have changed much. He still likes beautiful women, is still very sarcastic, and still likes to show off.

So why should he hide his Iron Man identity?

He's doing a good deed, not committing a crime. The key point is that he's Tony Stark, who is he afraid of? Are he afraid of those incompetent government officials?

Of course I'm not afraid.

He was still considering this matter, but after Nick Fury's actions, he plans to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce it. That's how capricious he is.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Nick Fury's voice rose several octaves, and his expression instantly turned serious.

He wasn't surprised that Tony was going to hold a press conference tomorrow, because they had already anticipated this in their analysis of Tony's personality; it was just a matter of time.

What he was really concerned about was the information Tony revealed about S.H.I.E.L.D. being infiltrated by Hydra agents.

But that's impossible, since Hydra was wiped out during World War II. However, based on Tony's micro-expression features, it's clear he wasn't joking.

"I told you to get out, leave my house, get out, do you understand?"

Tony pointed to the room door, his tone already very impatient.

Nick Fury gave him the same feeling as the other high-ranking government officials he had met. They all had a domineering desire to control everything and everyone, and Tony Stark didn't buy into that.

"Where did you hear about Hydra infiltrating the top brass of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony? This concerns the safety of the entire planet, it's no small matter. I hope you're not joking with me."

Since it involved Hydra, how could Nick Fury just give up like that? In order not to offend Tony, he even changed his tone to be more amiable.

Tony was someone who responded better to gentle persuasion than force, and seeing this, he hesitated for a moment before saying:

"That's the information I got. I don't know the specifics, but I'm definitely not lying to you. Go back and check it out yourself. That's all."

After saying that, he made a gesture to drive them away.

This time, Nick Fury didn't say anything more, but left Tony's mansion with a serious expression.

Washington, D.C., S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Trident Building, Director's office.

Nick Fury sat in his chair, looking at the documents he had compiled throughout the night, and muttered to himself:

"I never expected there would actually be a problem!"

He didn't believe nine-tenths of what Tony Stark said. After all these years of his control over S.H.I.E.L.D., how could most of its high-ranking officials be Hydra agents?

Wouldn't he then truly become a laughingstock?

But even if there's only a sliver of faith, given his personality, he absolutely cannot let it go.

So after rushing back to headquarters last night, he didn't notify anyone. Instead, he quietly used his access privileges to begin an in-depth analysis of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s missions and data over the years.

He relied either on computers and any high-tech products that might leave a trace, or on his top-notch agent skills and intuition.

He wanted to assume that a large portion of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top brass had indeed been infiltrated by Hydra agents, and use this premise to analyze the data and find flaws.

It can only be said that Nick Fury's abilities as an agent are quite strong enough to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. After a night of analysis, he really found a lot of suspicious points.

Normally, as the bureau chief, these suspicious places would never come to his attention. And even if he did discover them, without associating them with Hydra, he would probably just think it was some oversight by higher-ups.

"When exactly did it begin? How many people have already betrayed us? Who can we still trust? Most importantly, how did Tony Stark find out about this?"

Nick Fury is now filled with questions.

After thinking for a while, he used his privileges to access the data again, but this time he accessed all of Tony's data from before his kidnapping to the present.

He had actually been following Tony Stark, the son of Howard Stark, the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He was certain that Tony had absolutely no idea of ​​S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence before being kidnapped. Therefore, it could be inferred that he learned this information from someone he came into contact with during or after the kidnapping.

After carefully reviewing all of Tony's travel records since his kidnapping, he quickly discovered some clues:

"The Li Group, Li Chuan, is in trouble!"

A company that just came from Sokovia, which had never worked with the Stark Group before.

The moment Tony returned from the kidnapping, he immediately paid a personal visit and began in-depth cooperation, or rather, unilateral and strong support, which is completely illogical.

Furthermore, Professor Ethan, who escaped with Tony, also joined the group.

After finding the suspicious points, he immediately used his authority as the bureau chief to retrieve all of Li Chuan's information as quickly as possible.

Because Li Chuan comes from Sokovia, a small, relatively unknown country in Eastern Europe, and not a major focus of attention, even S.H.I.E.L.D. could not possibly have very detailed information about him.

On the surface, he appears to be a very kind and honest businessman who has done a lot of charity work in Sokovia and is deeply loved by the local people.

The drugs they produce and sell are highly effective and inexpensive; oh, even S.H.I.E.L.D. has purchased quite a lot of them.

After all, the agents could use the effects of all three pills during their mission.

"There is no such thing as a perfect person in this world. The more perfect someone is, the more problems they have."

Judging from the surface information alone, Li Chuan is undoubtedly a perfect businessman, and he is only twenty years old. But it is precisely because of this that he is more suspicious of Li Chuan’s problems.

"Get Agent Natasha Romanoff to my office!"

After thinking for a moment, Nick Fury pressed the communication button on the table.
