Marvel: Ma'am, I'm your husband's boss

Page 388

"Boss, is this your coffee?" May Parker walked into the room numbly, her eyes dull. It was obvious that she had not recovered from what happened a few days ago. Peter Parker had moved into the school. Although she no longer had to face the embarrassment of her nephew, she still could not get rid of the pain in her heart.

Especially when she splashed the glue on Peter Parker, she felt so ashamed.

The scene kept appearing in her mind, and regret and shame followed her like a shadow.

She felt that as an elder, she actually did such a ridiculous thing, which was unforgivable.

May Parker mechanically put the coffee on the table, as if she had lost her soul. Her heart was as heavy as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making her breathless. She didn't know how to face her mistakes, nor how to repair her relationship with Peter Parker.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that time would dilute all this and give her a chance to make up for her mistakes. However, now she could only struggle in pain, waiting for the wound in her heart to heal slowly.

Fisk reached out and stopped May Parker.

His fingers gently touched her fair neck, and he looked at the dark blue bruises beneath the collar that had never faded. His eyes were very calm, as if he was admiring a piece of art he had created himself.

Fisk straightened May Parker's face and said with a hint of command in his tone: "I don't want to see your dead face anymore. Smile!"

May Parker's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness. She tried to pull the corners of her mouth, trying to smile, but the smile was extremely stiff and bitter. She knew she couldn't disobey Fisk's order, so she could only endure the pain in her heart and pretend to cater to him.

Fisk stared at May Parker's face, seemingly dissatisfied with her performance. He frowned slightly and increased the strength of his hand, "Smile more sincerely, or you know the consequences."

A trace of despair flashed in May Parker's eyes, and she tried again to adjust her expression to make her smile look more natural.

Fisk shook his head and loosened his grip.

He walked to the window and watched the entire city engulfed in a sweltering sea of fire.

Suddenly, a roaring sound was heard in the sky. The sound was like rolling thunder, coming from far away and making people's eardrums hurt. Then, the storm arrived. In just a moment, the violent wind and rain submerged the entire New York City.

The wind howled like a ferocious beast rampaging through the streets and alleys of the city. The trees on the street were blown to the ground, and the branches swayed wildly, as if telling people the horror of the storm. Billboards were torn down by the wind and flew in the air, making a sharp sound. The windows trembled under the impact of the wind, as if they would be blown out at any time.

But what fell from the sky was not transparent rain, but scarlet blood. The blood poured down like a waterfall, instantly dyeing the earth red. The strong smell of blood lingered over the entire city, making people sick.

On the street, pedestrians stopped and stared at the horrific scene in amazement. Some opened their mouths wide but could not make any sound.

Some people held their heads in their hands, their bodies shaking. Others ran around in panic, not knowing where to go. Children were so scared that they cried loudly and hugged their parents' legs tightly.

The old people looked pale and muttered to themselves, praying for the protection of the gods.

In high-rise buildings, people looked at the outside world through windows, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

People in the office stopped their work and stared blankly at the blood outside the window, feeling uneasy. Some people began to pack their things in a panic, preparing to flee the city.

Others picked up the phone and tried to contact family and friends to make sure they were safe.

But Fisk remained calm. His eyes turned dark. At the same time, a flashing red light appeared in the direction of the port.

Put down the coffee in your hand.

Fisk showed a hideous smile, and he seemed to be talking to May Parker, or as if he was talking to himself.

"It's not surprising that a friend comes from afar!"

Chapter 193 A new voice, aloof and cold—Khorne.

Beep, beep! "

The black bald man struggled to get up from the recliner in a panic. Nick Fury hadn't rested well recently. Tony Stark hadn't been found yet, and he couldn't help but feel anxious and wanted to curse. SHIELD had taken so much funding, deployed so many agents, and developed so many traitors, but they couldn't even find a Tony Stark.

For Nick Fury, this was a very uneasy and stressful thing - if it weren't for his old boss Alexander Pierce helping him to bear the accountability of the World Security Council, he would have been removed from his position as director long ago.

He looked at the red lights around him and pressed the enter key hard. The screen in the distance lit up, and the projected image gradually emerged, followed by Coulson, the same good guy face that never changed.

"Sorry Chief, I seem to have disturbed your nap! But it looks like there's some big trouble in New York."

"I hope what you said is true, Agent Coulson." Nick Fury yawned. As soon as he finished speaking, Nick Fury was suddenly stunned, because as Coulson moved aside, the scene behind him appeared in front of Nick Fury.

The overwhelming blood-red light occupied Nick Fury's eyes, and the blood rain in the sky was like a sharp sword that was almost about to submerge the entire New York.

Nick Fury's eyes widened in disbelief. His heartbeat instantly accelerated, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. "What on earth is going on?" His voice was low and serious, with a hint of anxiety.

Coulson's expression was also very solemn. "Director, the specific situation is still unclear. This bloody rain came very suddenly. Our agents are investigating on the spot, but there is no clue yet." Nick Fury frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Immediately activate the emergency plan and notify all SHIELD agents to enter an emergency state. At the same time, contact various departments to coordinate and deal with this crisis." Coulson nodded, but hesitated again: "This is Fisk's territory."

"I don't care about Fisk, this is America and this is New York!"

After Nick Fury hung up the phone.

I immediately called Alexander Pierce.

However, the latter's phone showed that it was in a call.

He had no choice but to call Alexander Pierce's office again.

But the results are similar.

The phone is in an unreachable state.

Nick Fury immediately started swearing and cursing.

However, this is exactly what he meant.

Since it is impossible to report it, we can only act first and report later.

The power of SHIELD is actually not as great as imagined.

The World Security Council is far more powerful than the European Security Council.

The European Security Council is just a mascot, but the power held by the World Security Council is enough to crush the entire SHIELD and then rebuild it.

Therefore, Nick Fury is limited in many things.

However, in the event of an emergency.

SHIELD has the power to act first and report later.

Nick Fury activated several emergency plans. This incident can be seen as a sudden event, but at the same time, it can also be seen as an opportunity to enter New York. The funds of the World Security Council are not obtained out of thin air. A lot of money is donated through various channels, and one of the sources of funds is the US Department of Defense.

It’s easier to get things done if you have money, but you can only watch helplessly if you don’t have money.

Under such circumstances, the U.S. Department of Defense has a great say in SHIELD's actions in the United States, and General Ross, who is now in charge, has made it almost impossible for SHIELD to move in New York. Although General Ross is not the Secretary of Defense, his power is greater than that of the Secretary of Defense.

Therefore, Nick Fury could only hold his nose and do some small actions.

However, an emergency has now occurred.

Then everything is different.

In emergencies like this, SHIELD has the highest authority to handle them.

After all, the goal of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it was first established was to deal with a variety of supernatural emergencies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they can extend their influence into New York.

As for, after the incident is resolved - of course, a branch of SHIELD will be set up in New York.

After all, there have been such serious paranormal incidents in New York.

There must be a reason for this.

The best way to solve a problem is to prevent it from happening.

Since such a serious supernatural incident has occurred in New York.

There must be a reason. If there is a reason, it needs to be investigated. Only by finding the reason and curbing the source can we prevent any vicious supernatural events from happening next time.

As for when it can be found.

That depends on how complicated New York is.

It only took Nick Fury a short time to sort out the key issues and he immediately gave the order. But before he could dial the number, the phone on his desk was called.

It was Alexander Pierce calling.

Nick Fury had a bad feeling.

He didn't want to answer the call.

Or, just pretend you don't see it?

Nick Fury didn't want to miss this opportunity.

However, after hesitating for a few seconds.

Nick Fury finally chose to answer the phone.

"Don't get involved in New York's affairs for now."

Alexander Pierce's first words made Nick Fury frown.

However, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and opinions.

He said in a somewhat stiff tone: "New York is one of the world's financial centers. There are also a large number of innocent people there. If left unchecked, it is likely to cause devastating consequences!"

Alexander Pierce was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Now, we don't know what happened in New York. Judging from the intelligence we have received so far, it was just a bloody rain, and there was no other harm.

At least, we didn't see it.

What if it’s just an extreme natural disaster?

Or maybe it's just some minor issues.

You activated so many secret projects in one go.

It would be fine if the problem was solved, but what if it wasn’t?

What if, instead of solving the problem, those projects set off a chain reaction?

I know what you are thinking.

You activated so many projects in one go.

Isn't it just to take advantage of this opportunity to enter New York?

I know what you want to do, but please don't act on impulse. Don't forget, you haven't found Tony Stark yet.

Therefore, for safety reasons, SHIELD should not intervene in this matter for the time being."

Nick Fury still refused to give up. "Is this the decision of the World Security Council?"
