"Haven't you found any trace of that Easterner yet? Has our intelligence system become so outdated?" Nick Fury roared in frustration!
The Cosmic Cube was of great importance, yet his subordinates couldn't even find one person. How could Nick Fury not be furious!
"Sir, we found him. He's currently in Hawaii. What's puzzling is that he's spending Tony Stark's money!" Coulson, Nick Fury's confidant, reported.
Hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury clasped his hands and fell into silence. Tony was someone he had always had high hopes for, and he was planning to assemble the Avengers, with Tony being a crucial part of it. Now, Tony was somehow connected to that mysterious Easterner? It couldn't be, could it!
Soon, Nick Fury remembered the intelligence from a few days ago: Tony had been attacked and kidnapped by terrorists. However, what was strange was that Tony had reappeared at home directly. He had checked afterward and found no record of Tony entering the country. This meant Tony had appeared out of thin air!
Thinking about this mysterious Easterner and his ability to tear space, Nick Fury seemed to understand something. Could it be that this Easterner had saved Tony, and that was why they had a connection!
"Let's go!" Nick Fury said directly!
Coulson quickly followed, asking, "Sir, where are we going?"
"To find Tony!" Nick Fury replied without looking back!
At this moment, in Tony's laboratory, Tony was studying the Cosmic Cube. However, his current technology was not advanced enough, so progress was slow. As he returned to the living room to pour himself a drink, he saw the bald head standing with his back to him in the living room!
"Sir, is this how you barge into someone's home without knocking?" Tony asked calmly!
At this point, Nick Fury, who had been standing still, finally turned around and looked at Tony. Heaven knew how long he had been waiting in this pose for Tony!
"I am the Strategic..." After a string of titles, Nick Fury finally stated his name!
Tony shrugged and chuckled, "That's quite a mouthful. So, Director Bald Head, what do you want with me?"
Nick Fury inwardly cursed, "You're the bald head!"
"Tony, you are the son of my friend. Your father, Mr. Howard, was also one of us..." Before Nick Fury could finish, Tony interrupted, "Wrong, my father was your boss, not one of you!"
Nick Fury felt like he had swallowed a fly. "What the heck, how does Tony know that?"
This was a failed attempt at showing off!
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Tony, do you know this Easterner?" Nick Fury felt it was better to get straight to the point and took out Li Er's photo to ask!
Tony glanced at the photo and smiled, "Of course I know him. This Easterner saved me a few days ago. For that, I'm willing to give him endless wealth to squander!"
Given Tony's intelligence, he knew that Li Er spending his money would eventually be discovered, so he had already prepared his excuse!
Hearing Tony's words, Nick Fury nodded and said sternly, "Tony, you might not know, but he stole a very dangerous item. That item could bring catastrophic disaster to our planet!"
Tony directly grabbed a bottle of wine and took a sip, completely unfazed by Nick Fury's words, which greatly annoyed Nick Fury!
"Tony, I'm not trying to alarm you, but..." Before Nick Fury could finish, Tony interrupted him!
"Bald head, oh no, Motherfucker Man, what does this have to do with me? That Easterner is very mysterious and powerful, and I'm just an ordinary person, I can't afford to offend him!" Tony said, looking at Nick Fury's displeased gaze, and immediately changed his tune!
But these words only angered Nick Fury even more. "Motherfucker Man? You're practically high-level trolling!"
"So, Tony, you're not willing to help!" Nick Fury said!
Tony nodded. "Help your sister!"
Nick Fury could only leave Tony's house. Coulson quickly greeted him, and Nick Fury's face was grim. "Have we located that guy's address yet?"
"Sir, we've locked it down!" Coulson replied!
"Good, we'll go there directly!" Nick Fury said with decisive efficiency!
On the plane, Nick Fury held a collar and asked, "Has Natasha arrived?"
"Sir, she's already there!" Nick Fury nodded, feeling that everything should be in order!
At this very moment, Tony messaged in the group chat, "Big shot, that bald head should be looking for you!"
The cryptic message left Li Er confused. Then he remembered that the bald head was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he couldn't help but smile. "I know, it doesn't matter. If you have any trouble on your end, just push it all onto me."
Tony chuckled, "Of course, I already have."
In the hotel, Li Er opened the door because his ordered lunch had arrived!
However, upon opening the door and seeing the delivery person, Li Er was a bit surprised but said nothing.
"Sir, here is your lunch. Please enjoy, and I'll be back to clear it later," Natasha said in a standard manner!
Li Er chuckled and said, "Okay!"
Afterward, Li Er took a bite and curled his lips. "How much medicine did they put in this? Are they afraid I won't get enough?"
He threw all the food into a spatial rift, then pretended to be unconscious and collapsed on the sofa!
A moment later, Natasha knocked on the door again. There was no response, so Natasha opened the door herself and asked symbolically, "Sir, are you there? I'm coming in!"
Upon seeing Li Er collapsed on the sofa, she rushed over and asked, "Sir, are you alright?"
Seeing Li Er unresponsive, she then spoke into her earpiece, "Sir, you can come now!"
When Nick Fury arrived, he directly put a collar on Li Er. This collar was called a flea collar, specifically designed to restrict mutant abilities! At the same time, ropes bound Li Er securely!
Meanwhile, Coulson and Natasha both drew their handguns and aimed them at Li Er. After having his subordinates search the room, Nick Fury took out a vial and poured it into Li Er's mouth!
"Wake up, Mr. Mutant!" Nick Fury said!
Li Er woke up cooperatively, looking at the people in front of him. "Who are you people? Trespassing?"
"Sir, this is a hotel. And, Mr. Mutant, could you first tell me where you've hidden the stolen item?" Nick Fury asked after scanning the room!
The suite was not large, and the Cosmic Cube was nowhere to be seen! Since his subordinates hadn't found it, Nick Fury had to ask about its location first!
