A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"You damn black devil, don't you dare disappoint me..."

Before he finished speaking, a red light suddenly flashed in his eyes. In a room of the manor villa, a one-eyed black man was sneaking around, peering out the window. In the sunlight, his round black head reflected a large spot of light.

"Aha! Found it!" Cao Gui's eyes lit up immediately.

……

Inside the villa, Nick Fury deftly opened the door, holding a Glock 17 in his hand, and crept in little by little, his body pressed against the wall.

Although I don't know what happened, judging from Tony's fight just now, the people here didn't use any of those unknown explosives, so from that point of view, I'm safe.

The biggest danger now is Tony. He has to be persuaded, otherwise S.H.I.E.L.D. will forever be adrift at sea, and he will never have the chance to return to S.H.I.E.L.D.

If he could gain the support of Stark Industries and leverage his accumulated power over the years, returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. would not be a pipe dream.

We cannot allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to fall into the hands of those insects; they will destroy all the hard work we have put in over the years!

But as Nick Fury went deeper, he realized something was wrong. The place was set up like a movie set, with eerie and strange sets, various lighting equipment, sound equipment, and even a lot of fake blood.

What's even more baffling is that these sets are remarkably similar to the sets used by the Mandarin characters on television...

Could it all be a lie?

A glint flashed in Nick Fury's single eye, and a thought popped into his head: Was all of this a hoax? Was someone pulling the strings behind the scenes?

With this thought in mind, Nick Fury's eyes sharpened, and he strode towards the center of the villa. He needed to find out who was behind Tony before Tony did, as this would be very helpful in the upcoming conversation!

However, just as he crossed the corridor and made his way to the living room, a voice suddenly came from around the corner behind him: "Chief Nick Fury, I didn't expect to run into you here..."

"!!!"

Nick Fury felt his heart clench, followed by a chill that shot straight to the top of his head and even broke through his bald scalp.

what happened?

I clearly checked that corner myself!

As a secret agent, I couldn't possibly make such a mistake!

Even with these thoughts in mind, his body had already turned the gun around instantly. For an agent like him, his body was faster than his brain!

But unfortunately... it didn't work!

With a snap, a hand precisely pressed down on his wrist, the powerful grip causing him sharp pain.

"Wh...what!?"

Nick Fury's expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked up at the man and discovered that he was a bald Slav.

How could he possess such immense power?

I've been genetically enhanced with drugs!

Nick Fury gritted his teeth and twisted his wrist, trying to break free from Cao Gui's control. However, a numbing sensation came over him, instantly making his body go limp and leaving him unable to resist.

"Hey... damn it!"

Cao Gui sneered and grabbed his neck, but at that moment, the roar of the thrusters grew closer and louder.

It's Tony Stark! He's about to break into this manor house!

"Tony, help..."

Nick Fury's dark face flushed red with joy, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, but unfortunately, a flash of lightning and the two of them disappeared instantly.

With a crash, Tony burst through the outer wall into the living room, but found nothing except the mess and dust he had created.

“I just detected abnormal sound waves…” Tony Stark’s expression behind his mask was solemn. He had detected not only sound waves but also abnormal electric fields, but these two things appeared abruptly and disappeared very quickly.

Tony scanned the room warily, but found nothing... Well, no, the blankets were moving on the bed, there were people in the bed, and two women at that.

Tony was all too familiar with this scenario; he often brought people home to play games, usually two at a time, no more than that, or he couldn't handle it.

However... there is no third person in this bed, which is very unreasonable. Logically, there should be another man in it. Tony glanced around and, based on his years of experience, immediately realized that something was wrong.

Tony turned his gaze to the private bathroom next to him, reached out, and ripped the bathroom door off.

On the toilet, an old man with a long beard gave him an awkward smile, and then slowly raised his hands.

“Oh my god, Mandarin…?” Tony Stark exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 378 Kem in Trouble

In a desolate mountain area on the outskirts of Miami.

A flash of lightning, and Nick Fury crashed to the ground, landing face-first in the mud with a thud.

"Ptooey... Damn it, are you Killian's bodyguard?" Nick Fury spat out the dirt in his mouth, backed away, and asked in surprise and doubt.

Nick Fury would investigate anyone who got too close to Tony, especially Killian, who almost got to base with Tony when he was still Tony. Although he hadn't investigated the Slavic bodyguard next to him, he remembered that person.

"Good people don't live long, but evil people live a long life. Nick Fury, you've really been hard to find..." Cao Gui's eyes were cold. This guy had tried to harm him in secret time and time again, but today he finally caught him.

All that hard work searching can't compare to a good fishing trip. I've learned something, so I won't have to work so hard in the future!

“You…” A look of doubt flashed across Nick Fury’s dark face. He knew from this sentence that the other party had been looking for him for a long time.

Is it an old enemy?

Damn it, I've offended too many people... Wait! He contacted me?

Nick Fury's expression hardened as the scene of Coulson's death flashed through his mind—the man who killed Coulson!

Purple Man!

The last person to contact him was the Purple Man, who used Coulson's life to force him to show himself, but he refused. If the Tahiti plan hadn't succeeded, Coulson would really be dead!

Moreover, not long after Coulson was killed last time, Tony mysteriously turned into a woman!

This time, Tony mysteriously transformed back into a man...

Nick Fury broke out in a cold sweat instantly. Damn it, someone had been watching him for so long and he had no idea!

That was too careless!

After Coulson was resurrected, he told himself about it, but he didn't even realize that the purple man had already been killed by Sitwell.

He was so engrossed in the joy of the rapidly expanding power of the Aegis system and the space carrier that he completely overlooked this major mistake, and completely ignored this ruthless viper that had been watching him all along!

“You… I don’t remember offending you?” Nick Fury stood up and backed away, his dark face turning even paler. He knew he was doomed today.

"Heh... You've framed me time and time again, targeted Austria time and time again..." Cao Gui sneered, pulling back the slide of the Glock he had snatched and checking the bullets.

But as they were talking, Cao Gui suddenly stopped. This guy might have electronic devices on him to transmit information.

“Unfortunately…” Seeing the other person pause, Nick Fury sighed regretfully. He knew he couldn’t get any more information out of them.

boom!

A bullet pierced Nick Fury's shiny black head.

Nick Fury's expression froze instantly, his only remaining eye widening in shock.

The bullet entered through his forehead, piercing his entire brain, and then left a fist-sized hole at the back of his head.

Hey~

[The host has killed Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., completing a "Eliminate Evil" mission. Reward: 2 merit points and 1 experience points.]

With a flick of his wrist, a bolt of lightning shot out, and three soft crackling sounds rang out from Nick Fury's body, followed by three plumes of white smoke – these were the electronic devices he carried.

"Damn black devil, I almost got tricked by him!" Cao Gui cursed angrily, raising his foot to stomp on his head, but then his eyes darted around, and he squatted down and gouged out the left eye that was covered by an eye patch.

This black guy also set up the eyeball with the director's privileges at S.H.I.E.L.D., keeping it might be useful in the future.

Still uneasy, Cao Gui pulled out a grenade, unplugged it, and stuffed it into the corpse's mouth before turning to leave.

Behind him, a deafening explosion ripped through the air, turning Nick Fury's body into a mangled mess. Unless the Ancient One or Mephisto rescued him, even Captain Marvel's arrival would be futile.

On the West Coast, in Los Angeles, Coulson's face was somber, his forehead fixed on the steering wheel, his chewing muscles bulging and contracting repeatedly.

“Ha…you framed me time and time again, you targeted me time and time again…” A cold laugh echoed in Coulson’s earpiece. This was the information Nick Fury had extracted in his final moments.

“Framed time and time again, oh…?” Coulson’s breathing grew longer as he rubbed his temples anxiously. “What is this ‘oh…’? This syllable sounds so strange…”

In the end, Coulson sighed helplessly. The information in that sentence was far too little to be of any use, and it couldn't reveal anything about the other party's identity.

ding dong~

Just then, Coulson's phone rang, and he received an unknown message in his email.

"Coulson, I'm dead. There are things you need to take over..."

……

Meanwhile, Cao Gui retrieved the drone, got into his car, and prepared to return to Los Angeles, leaving Killian's matter to Tony.

Anyway, they were in love, so let lovers handle their own affairs. He, as an outsider, won't interfere.

Ring ring~

"Hey, honey, why are you calling all of a sudden? Don't you have ears?"

"Damn, something's happened!"

"!!!" Cao Gui's heart clenched suddenly. It was Gwen!

Not Beth!

Holy crap! I almost called the wrong person! I almost gave myself away!

"Ahem... Gwen, what's wrong?" Cao Gui asked quickly, trying to change the subject. If she pressed him for details, things would get serious.

However, Gwen didn't delve into Cao Gui's earlier unease. Instead, she said in a heavy tone, "Cao, something happened to Kem. Her mother was killed by the Mandarin!"

"What's going on?" Cao Gui's expression changed slightly. Kem's mother was Brian's ex-wife, the woman who looked like Phoenix.

Gwen quickly recounted the whole story: the Mandarin had orchestrated a series of bombings the previous day, including one in Los Angeles that was within the blast radius. Unfortunately, Kim's mother was in that apartment.

The reason Kem's mother was in that apartment was because Kem's biological father, Brian, lived there. However, at the time of the incident, the two were... well, on a date. Brian had gone out to buy groceries, leaving only Kem's mother waiting inside.

When Brian returned... all that remained were ruins and corpses.

After listening to Gwen's description, Cao Gui frowned. According to the average person's thinking, the incident would definitely be defined as an accident, after all, the Mandarin's attack is an unavoidable force for ordinary people.
