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

Chapter 59 Killing Nick Fury

"Given Nick Fury's abilities and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efficiency, they'll probably find me very soon."

After hanging up Tony's call, Li Chuan thought to himself.

Whether it's Tony's side or the Dr. Banner they're about to acquire, they're both part of Nick Fury's Avengers plan. It's only a matter of time before Li Chuan gets noticed after contacting them.

There's really nothing to worry about, because now that Nick Fury has learned about Hydra's existence through Tony, he'll likely be focusing his energy on outsmarting and outmaneuvering Hydra for a long time to come.

Even if they sensed something was wrong with Li Chuan, they didn't have the energy to deal with him, and might even have to ask him for help later.

As for related investigations, there's nothing to worry about.

Go ahead and investigate. The Li Group is a legitimate company in the US. They might have a large bodyguard team, but they haven't done anything illegal or disorderly. Investigate them as you please.

Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. sent spies into the company, it wouldn't matter. All the experiments in the company's laboratories are legitimate, and Dr. Stern and Dr. Ethan are researching drugs that will benefit humanity.

If we delay for a while longer, and become stronger, we can then ignore Earth organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.

"A new side quest has been added. Please check your quest log."

Li Chuan, who was pondering matters concerning S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, heard the mission notification in his ear and naturally opened the panel, clicking on the side missions.

Mission: Rescue Tony Stark. Tony Stark has suffered palladium poisoning due to frequent use of the Arc Reactor for power. Help him overcome the poisoning.

Reward: The Elder Wand.

"The Elder Wand? Is it the Elder Wand from the Harry Potter world? What use would I have for that thing!"

Li Chuan was stunned when he saw the mission reward.

He knew about the Elder Wand, one of the three Deathly Hallows in the Harry Potter world, made from elderberry and Thestral tail feathers, which could help wizards cast powerful and deadly spells more easily.

However, he was neither a wizard nor had wizarding blood, so he couldn't cast spells. Holding the Elder Wand was no better than holding a dagger; it was useless, at least for now.

"Oh well, it's a free reward anyway."

Li Chuan thought about it for a moment and then felt relieved, because he could complete this side quest in the end even if he didn't do it.

According to the original plot, after Tony is poisoned, Nick Fury will give him the video left by Howard. From the video, Tony discovers that his father left a method for synthesizing a new element in a model in his office, but it was impossible to make it due to the technology at the time.

He then created a new element that could replace palladium, completely solving the poisoning problem associated with using the Arc Reactor.

You see, Li Chuan doesn't need to do anything to complete this task.

"Perfect timing. I can use this opportunity to get Tony to help me complete the plan; otherwise, he might not agree."

Li Chuan closed the panel and practiced chakra extraction with his eyes closed while waiting for Tony to arrive.

However, will things really unfold as originally planned? He underestimated the series of butterfly effects that his appearance in this world would trigger.

Washington, D.C., S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Trident Building, former director, now the Minister's Office of the World Security Council.

Alexander Pierce gave the order to the bald agent in front of him:

"Sitwell, Nick Fury is suspicious."

"How could that be? We've been hiding this so well, and most of the people inside S.H.I.E.L.D. are already our people. All the intelligence he knows was provided by us."

Sitwell looked surprised.

He is the main person in charge of recruiting new agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. Whether they are recruited from outside or are graduates of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, the information of each agent will first go to him.

Based on the information, he could identify which agents were likely to be recruited by Hydra, and then make them Hydra agents before they even joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

Many high-ranking members of S.H.I.E.L.D., if they lack moral integrity, can be lured in by various incentives and become Hydra agents.

Like John Garrett, who was injured and nearly died during a mission.

Therefore, most of the intelligence Nick Fury sees is information they show him, and of course, this intelligence doesn't contain any information related to Hydra.

If any genuine S.H.I.E.L.D. agents notice anything suspicious during a mission, their reports will be erased before they reach Nick Fury, and those agents will be killed in the next mission.

In this situation, he simply couldn't understand why Nick Fury would become suspicious.

"Let's not worry about that for now. He's not a simple person. Even though most of S.H.I.E.L.D. are our people, he still secretly built a lot of secret bases that we don't know about."

I'll have someone take care of him. Get ready; I'll be replacing him.

Pierce waved his hand and gave the order.

Sitwell hesitated for a moment:

"He only doubted whether it was too early to deal with him now, as the Insight Project still has many shortcomings."

"I can't wait any longer. I know him well. Once suspicion arises, things will get very complicated. Let's deal with him first, and then continue to refine the Insight Plan after you become the director."

Pierce's tone was very firm, clearly indicating that he had a high degree of recognition for Nick Fury's abilities.

If he didn't truly recognize Nick Fury's abilities, he wouldn't have chosen someone who wasn't a Hydra agent to fill such an important position as director upon leaving office.

In fact, he felt that he had made a very good move.

It is precisely because Nick Fury is so capable that S.H.I.E.L.D., which was not particularly outstanding back then, has become such a global behemoth as it is today.

At the same time, it indirectly boosted the development of the entire Hydra, and allowed Project Insight to reach its current stage.

To be honest, even if it were him, or any other Hydra member, in the position of director, it would have been impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to achieve such glory.

However, at the same time, he was also very wary of Nick Fury, after using his secretly retained permissions to observe Nick Fury's unusual behavior last night.

Even if it's just a suspicion that the other party might have noticed something, immediately decide to get rid of them.

"Understood!"

Sitwell nodded and then left the office.

After Sitwell left, Pierce immediately activated a secret communicator and gave the following instructions:

"Activate the Winter Soldier. Mission: Kill Nick Fury!"
