Masked Rider from Marvel World

After hearing this, Everett was confused.
What's going on? It seems that the CIA arrived too late and snatched the military's "prey". This is not an easy thing to do!
"Colonel Rhodes, I think you may have misunderstood something.
I came here just to invite him to join the CIA, nothing else."
"Come on! I'm afraid you don't even believe what you said.
The military has invited him more than once or twice. Even if he wants to join a faction, it won’t be your turn at the CIA.”
Rhodes' words were very direct, making him feel a little embarrassed.
Honest people also have tempers, and now that they have spoken out, they might as well not be polite, "Hasn't he made a decision yet?
Why can't our CIA recruit him? We gave him the authority and benefits of a Level 6 agent."
"Level six authority? Are you sure?" Rhodes asked with a strange look on his face. He suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary. Just for this little bit of benefit, he wanted to steal the "big dish" that SHIELD and the military had been eyeing for years. It must be said that the CIA director was very bold. Of course, he must have a lot of water in his head.
"Of course, the director has personally approved it. As long as he agrees, we can sign the agreement now."
"Puff! Haha!" Rhode couldn't help laughing, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to laugh at you, but if this is your sincerity, then you can leave.
Don't waste everyone's time, it's not good for anyone."
"What's going on? Isn't this sincerity enough?
Could it be that the price offered by the military is higher than that of the CIA? "Everett thought to himself. Before he could ask the question in his mind, a helicopter appeared above their heads.
The good old man Coulson walked down, greeted Rhodes first, then walked straight to Everett and extended his right hand to him, "Hello, Agent Ross.
I am Phil Coulson, Agent Nine of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Hello! I've heard a lot about you." Everett shook hands with him blankly, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, the military, SHIELD, and their CIA were the last ones to discover it.
Now he has no advantage at all, and the prices offered by these two parties should be much higher than his. What should he do?
"Agent Coulson, you're not here just for..." Everett asked hesitantly.
"Of course not, our director knows very well that your CIA cannot recruit him, so he has nothing to worry about.
Don't think I'm joking, and don't think about fair competition or anything like that.
SHIELD and the military have been waiting outside his house for years, but to no avail, right? "
"Several years?" Ross couldn't help swallowing. At this moment he understood why Ling Ge was so casual. If the CIA wanted to poach people, it might have to move the two big mountains in front of it first, but it seemed impossible.
"Then why did you come this time? Just to support Ling Ge?" Ross asked with a frown. He no longer had any hope of recruiting them, but still wanted to know the purpose of these two people.
"Not really. We know very little about Wakanda. This time we want to get some information from him." Coulson said with a smile.
Ross's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I know a lot about Wakanda. I can tell you everything I know, but in return, I also hope you can tell me some information about Lingge, okay?"
Coulson and Rhodes looked at each other. Since the detective's situation could no longer be concealed, they might as well complete the exchange and relax a little.
"can!"
"Great!" Everett breathed a sigh of relief. After all, what he knew, Ling Ge knew as well.
In other words, the information he knew was dispensable to the two of them, but he did not lose out in exchange for some secrets.
Next, the three of them exchanged their information for half an hour. There were some changes in their eyes and they couldn't calm down.
Everett knew about Lingge's heroic deeds in the past, as well as the grievances between him and the two major organizations. He felt like crying but had no tears. Recruiting him was completely impossible, but cooperation was not impossible. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. was like this, and in terms of financial resources, they were not inferior to the CIA.
Moreover, Ling Ge did not tell the two guys that he had several hundred kilograms of vibranium on him. That was the only thing he could possibly buy at the moment.
Rhodes and Coulson were shocked to learn that there was a vibranium mine in Wakanda.
That's vibranium! The hardest and most expensive metal in the world.
At the beginning, Howard only used a shield forged from a piece of vibranium to push Steve to the position of a hero, laying the foundation for a generation of legends.
But no matter how excited they were, they knew that the price of vibranium would not decrease despite the increase in quantity, and Wakanda would not sell even a little bit of the resources that depended on their survival.
As for Ulysses Klaue, that guy was purely an accident and not worth mentioning.
"Agent Ross, is that all you know? There's nothing to hide?" Coulson asked with a smile.
"No, if you don't believe me, you can go and check with Ling Ge." Ross said, acting quite naturally. The two of them didn't see any flaws, but they were all foxes for many years and didn't believe him so easily.
392. The attraction of vibranium, the highest bidder wins
Two hours later, Ling Ge walked down the stairs slowly. Seeing the three people waiting eagerly below, he was somewhat happy.
As expected of the elite members of various organizations, they are all very patient.
"Detective, you are so dishonest!
You didn't even tell me about S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military." Ross said sadly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Hey! That's wrong!
I originally wanted to remind you, but you arrogantly said that there is no problem that your CIA cannot solve.
I do this because I trust the CIA!" Ling Ge joked.
Ross's face froze. How could this be the same?
Either SHIELD or the military alone can compete with the CIA, let alone if the two organizations join forces.
In this situation, if the CIA wants to get a piece of the pie, it would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth!
But even if they are in a dangerous situation, they have to find a way to join in. Otherwise, if they really get the vibranium resources while they get nothing, wouldn't that shake the CIA's status in the industry if the news gets out?
"Forget it. Whatever you say, I was a little abrupt in recruiting you, but the CIA is sincere." At this point, Rosenberg paused, looking a little embarrassed, "Although this sincerity is a little different from what you think."
Rhodes and Coulson were trying hard to hold back their laughter. After all, they were both official organizations and they might have to cooperate with each other in the future. Not laughing out loud was just giving face to the agent.
Level six agent, although it is not an overnight success for most people, it can be considered a meteoric rise.
But for Ling Ge, this was just like sending away a beggar. Whether it was the treatment of a level nine agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. or a school-level position offered by the military, which one was not much better than a level six agent, a senior worker?
"I believe this, so in order to avoid trouble, I specially picked a seat for you."
"What position?" Ross asked puzzled.
"Of course they monitored my home. Both sides sent several groups of people to monitor it in turns.
You will soon have a place in the CIA, I have already thought about it, just put your people among them."
Coulson immediately stood up and said unnaturally: "Correction, that's protection."
"Tsk!" Ling Ge naturally didn't believe it. Protection? I need you to protect me?
If something really happens, you don’t know who will protect whom!
Rhode also stood up, but he didn't refute anything. "I don't know about monitoring you. I'm not familiar with the people sent by the higher-ups."
"Listen, this is called professionalism. This is a complete shirking of responsibility."
Coulson: ...
I would like to say so, but as a level nine agent, those people who are responsible for "protecting" you were sent by me personally, so this reason is obviously not suitable for me.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.
Why haven't you left yet? Do you have something else to ask me?
Let me make it clear first! My fees are very expensive. "
A few black lines appeared on Rhodes' face. Coulson was also a little amused. Not to mention that the intelligence about Wakanda needed to be verified, they definitely could not leave before Everett Ross left. Otherwise, if they really missed something, they would be the ones to bear the blame.
"Well, since you, detective, don't want to join the CIA, we can't force you.
But I think you won't refuse the cooperation approach!"
“It’s not impossible. It’s my duty to help the weak and uphold justice.
But as for the price, you see, I have to eat too.”
"Don't worry, I will definitely make you satisfied." Ross said with a smile. Since they could reach a cooperation, his trip today was not in vain. In the future, all the tasks with high risk factors would be given to him.
"What about you two? We have already reached a cooperative relationship."
"Well, we want intelligence about Wakanda. Even though Everett told us some before, we still have to check it. It would be bad if we missed or made a mistake in something." Coulson said, not ashamed of Ross's presence, and the word "distrust" was almost written on his face.
Ross felt nervous when he heard that. He quietly unzipped his sleeves, revealing a vibranium bracelet made of strange beads. At the same time, he gave Ling Ge a subtle look.
The meaning is very clear. I didn't tell them about the vibranium. Please keep it confidential.
Rhodes was very keen to discover the secret signal he sent, and asked with a grin, "Agent Ross, is there anything wrong with your eyes?"
"Ah! No, I just didn't sleep well recently, there's nothing wrong." Ross said, but when he met Rhodes' sharp eyes, he couldn't help but panic.
"Haha! You are still too young, or you know too little about Ling Ge." Rhodes patted his shoulder, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ling Ge smiled and said, "In most cases, Everett probably won't hide it from you, but when it comes to some interests, I don't know."
"Part of the interests?" Coulson and Rhodes looked at each other. It turned out that Ross was hiding something.
"Hey! Detective, think carefully before you speak!
Although we represent different organizations, there is no need for me to hide it from them!
What good will this do me? ”
"Who can say for sure? In our line of work, don't we prefer to believe it than not to believe it?"
"I support Coulson's statement, so if you're hiding something from us, you'd better just tell us straight away!
Otherwise, once the detective tells us the truth, we will probably have to face the outside world together."
Ross' heart skipped a beat, but he felt relieved soon. That's 600 kilograms of vibranium. Even if you want to unite against the outside world, how much can you eat?
Seeing Everett's stubborn look, Rhode didn't say anything, but just sighed deeply, "Ling Ge, since you have mentioned some of the benefits, I think you should be able to reveal it to us!"
"Of course, I did Wakanda a big favor this time.
Although I wouldn't ask for anything, the king and the princess were so enthusiastic that they accidentally gave me some Wakanda specialties." Ling Ge said embarrassedly.
Everett couldn't help rolling his eyes. What a joke! If I hadn't seen you being so fussy with my own eyes, I might have believed it.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ross if what I said is true.
The people of Wakanda are so enthusiastic. That's 100 kilograms of vibranium! They gave it to me right away, which made me feel a little embarrassed. "Ling Ge said, but it sounded like bragging to the three of them.
Ross couldn't help but twitch his lips. He changed six hundred into one hundred and even asked me to give a false testimony. What a devil!
But now he has to make this fake certificate. After all, Ling Ge is the only one who has the goods now. He can sell it to anyone he wants. If he really makes him unhappy, the CIA will definitely suffer a heavy loss.
When Ross came to his senses, he found two pairs of eyes staring at him, and he felt a little scared.
"Why are you looking at me like that?
Put yourself in my shoes, if you were me, would you share this kind of information?" Ross explained in a panic.
"No, that's why we didn't completely trust you at the beginning." Coulson smiled, then looked at Ling Ge, "Detective, we are old acquaintances, name a price for the vibranium in your hand!"
He also knew that this amount of funds was not something he could mobilize, and that it was usually decided by Nick Fury. However, vibranium was a strategic resource, and it was a daydream to expect Wakanda to export it.
Right now, the vibranium in Ling Ge's hands is probably the only thing in the world that can be traded reasonably. This is a rare opportunity!
If he didn't hurry up and let the other two parties seize the initiative, Nick Fury would probably blame him for being short-sighted.
Rhodes even took out his phone and said, "Hello, Stark? Yes, you can come over now.
There is a big business, the detective has a hundred kilograms of vibranium here.
Yes, you heard it right, if you are late you will miss it. "
Ross, who was standing by, was also shocked when he saw the two men, one writing a blank check and the other directly calling people.
When I thought about the money I brought with me, I had an urge to wail. Is this still fair competition? This is blatant cheating!
Ross looked at the phone in his hand, wondering whether he should notify the director as well, but he finally suppressed the idea. Didn't the detective still have 500 kilograms of vibranium? There would still be a chance to get it later!
"Coulson, are you sure you want me to make an offer? Aren't you afraid that Fury will kill you?"
"I'm really scared, so I've already contacted the director. I'll stop it when the price becomes unaffordable." Coulson said, pointing to the communicator hanging next to his ear, without any panic.
"Boom!" Iron Man landed in the courtyard and looked at everyone. "I heard you have some vibranium to sell. Is that true?"
"What? You want it too?"
"Um...
