Chapter 449 I am the Director of SHIELD!
"You've gone a bit too far, teacher."

In the office of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Trident Headquarters, Nick Fury stared at the portrait on the holographic screen in front of him, his tone having lost the respect he had in the past.

"This is my duty and I hope you understand."

Alexander Pierce's tone was apologetic, but the expression on his face showed no sign of flinching.

"I don't understand, and I can't understand, teacher."

Nick Fury had his hands behind his back, and his dark face was particularly gloomy.

"Leni and the others have found evidence that Pioneer Technology conducted illegal human experiments, and found key witnesses and physical evidence!"

"I know, Fury, I know everything, but this is not what the Security Council wants to see..."

Pierce raised his hand and pressed it, trying to comfort Nick Fury once and for all. He knew very well that his student would not tolerate hard work.

"But this is SHIELD's responsibility! It's also SHIELD's obligation!"

Nick Fury interrupted Pierce's attempts to continue.

"Killian is using the Extremis virus to create panic. He has also kidnapped the President of the United States and wants to publicly execute him! Everything he is doing is provoking the laws of the United States!"

He pointed at the SHIELD logo on the wall behind him and asked Pierce.

"Have you forgotten what you told me back then?"

"Fury, you..."

Pierce's tone paused, and he couldn't help but recall his high-spirited past when he was the director.

"Fury, if you are not in your position, you will not do anything. I am now the Secretary-General, so I am naturally responsible for the Security Council..."

"Then please don't interfere with my decision."

There was a hint of disappointment in Fury's eyes, and he felt more and more that the teacher in front of him was no longer what he used to be.

The teacher back then was jealous of evil, fierce and decisive, and not afraid of power.

But now, he seems to be a completely different person.

The once heroic and fearless dragon slayer has now become a loyal supporter of the evil dragon.

Nick Fury was very disappointed. He only felt that the Secretary-General of the Security Council in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

Pierce was shaken, but he quickly broke away from the past memories, and there was no trace of anything strange on his face.

"Fury, it's not worth it. You have to know that the Security Council has the right to revoke your position as director at any time. I am doing this for your own good. You don't want that yellow-haired girl Leni to take your position so easily, do you?"

"Huh, just like when we were in New York?"

Nick Fury sneered, he knew the brains of those fools on the Security Council very well.

"That's right, Fury, it's not worth it. The United States has already lost Hammer Industries, and we can't afford to lose another pioneering technology with such a bright future for this!"

Seeing that Nick Fury couldn't explain anything, Pierce's suppressed anger also seemed to be getting stronger.

"What Killian has done is indeed worthy of the indignation of mankind and God, and he deserves to be severely punished, but not now. The United States needs pioneering technology now, and needs..."

"Come on, I think the Security Council needs Pioneer Technology."

Nick Fury didn't want to listen to Pierce's nagging anymore, so he interrupted him again by speaking directly.

"Teacher, I think you know very well that Pioneer Technologies and others are not the only arms dealers in the United States. Even Rockson, who is engaged in oil, can get involved at any time. As long as the military is willing to place an order, it can support another company at any time. Pioneer technology comes out.”

Nick Fury stared at the old man in the picture, his eyes becoming extremely cold.

"So, it is the Security Council that is reluctant to part with Pioneer Technology, not the United States."

"Do you want to go against the Security Council, Nick Fury?!"

However, Nick Fury acted particularly calmly when faced with Alexander Pierce's questioning.

"It's the Council working against S.H.I.E.L.D."

"you!"

Pierce felt a rush of blood rush to his forehead, and he almost fainted from the anger of his "proud disciple"!

"Let me ask you one last time, do you want to withdraw the Pioneer Technology case or not?"

"Then I will answer you one last time, I will not withdraw."

Nick Fury uttered two words with a ruthless expression, and then reached for the close button of the video communication.

"You will regret it! Nick Fury, the Security Council will definitely revoke your position as director!"

"Then let them cancel it. This is not the first time anyway."

Nick Fury doesn't care at all. SHIELD is no longer the SHIELD that was constrained by the Security Council.

"Oh, by the way, teacher, could you please tell Director Pulis for me?"

Pause with your thumb on the close button.

"I am the director of SHIELD!"

After the words fell, the video communication was unilaterally cut off. Nick Fury slowly released his thumb from the screen, with no expression on his face.

Turning around and returning to his seat, Nick Fury raised his hand and rubbed his brow.SHIELD's current situation at its peak made him feel even more pressured. In the United States alone, there were countless forces watching him eagerly.

The thick branches support the towering tree of SHIELD, and with the addition of fresh branches like Leni, it becomes more lush, and even has the potential to cover the sky.

More and more people want to get close to this big tree to enjoy the shade, and more and more forces want to climb up the tree along the trunk.

But Nick Fury, who was at the top of the tree, was very sensitive to the fact that this towering tree, which seemed to provide shade and shelter from the sun, was becoming less and less like its original appearance.

Even the roots that created this big tree have become increasingly invisible because they have been tangled underground all year round.

The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them;
When piled on the shore, the current will be turbulent.

Behind SHIELD's current prosperity, there may be some kind of huge crisis brewing.

The deepest darkness often comes from the brightest places.

Nick Fury has noticed something, but now he doesn't think that day will come so soon.

……

"I am the director of SHIELD!"

The video communication was cut off. Pierce was so angry at these words that he blushed and gasped for a long time before calming down the anger in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Alexander Pierce returned to his former selfless demeanor as the Secretary-General, and turned around to look at the Security Council members beside him.

"I think you heard me, Director Price."

That's right, the video communication just now was not actually a real private contact, but was done deliberately by Pierce.

The angry behavior before was just a performance that Pierce deliberately put on for these directors to see.

The reason is just to let Director Pulis die of his luck.

"He's a good chief."

The director of Hua Guo gave a rare compliment. He rarely praised someone in public because it was not in line with his status.

But this meeting was not public, and there were only five directors present, so he could make some remarks that "only represent himself".

"I agree."

Naturally, the Russian director Ivanov would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule. He came here just to see Pulis's jokes, so he would naturally sneer at him when he got the opportunity.

"Shut up, Ivanov!"

Director Price's face turned red. He was like an ant on a hot pot, about to explode.

"Pierce, I order you to remove Nick Fury as director! Now! Immediately!"

Pierce shrugged, of course he was willing to oblige.

But now the Security Council is not just a forum for him, Director Pulis, and the reason why he privately invited several other directors here this time is to prove this point.

Therefore, Alexander Pierce looked at the other directors present.

"I abstain."

Director Hua Guo was the first to express his position that he did not want to get involved here. This has always been Hua Guo's attitude.

However, there is an unwritten rule in the Security Council, that is, even if it does not agree with a proposal, it will not explicitly vote against it.

Abstaining from voting already represents opposition.

The opposition, represented in the Security Council resolution, will be the most extreme attitude.

The result of such a statement is often the last thing people want to happen, that is - war.

"I also abstain."

"I agree"

The answers of Director Ivanov and the French Director were expected by everyone, but the speech of the British female director who followed the French Director was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

"I also abstain."

Unexpectedly, Ms. Holly, the British director, did not follow Director Price's decision as usual, but calmly abstained from voting.

5 people, 2 voted in favor, 0 voted against, and 3 abstained.

On the surface, the voting result was that Director Pulis' proposal was passed with 2 votes in favor, but what it represented behind the scenes was something else.

Everyone looked at Director Holly with different eyes. The faces of the Chinese and Russian directors showed interest, while the French director looked thoughtful.

None of them expected that the British Council would suddenly make such a statement. Although the proposal this time was not made public, the attitude of Director Holly's locked head could not help but make people think.

A strange look flashed across Pierce's face, but he quickly thought of a certain old and immortal woman.

However, he didn't say anything, but smiled slightly, and then carried out the proposal with a normal expression.

 My neck is much better, but it still hurts when I turn my head sideways. Cheng Zi has never had a stiff neck, and I didn’t expect it to be so uncomfortable...

  For the time being, the updates will be updated once a day for the time being, so that I can save my manuscripts and save my attendance in the future due to insufficient manuscripts.
