SHIELD Washington Headquarters, Director Fury’s office.
Director Fury is sitting on his chair with a frown on his face, and the computer screen on the desk in front of him shows some information about Hydra, X-Men, and League of Defender.
Recently, Fury had been in a bad mood. Although SHIELD had the upper hand in their previous attacks on Hydra, but yesterday’s battle made Fury realize that Hydra was not so weak. They just didn’t reveal their cards before.
As for the card exposed by Hydra, Fury has no clue about that, and only Mirage Knight who might know something does not seem to want to talk to himself. This is one of the few things that Fury hasn’t been able to control since he became SHIELD’s Director. This situation makes Fury very uncomfortable.
Fury’s att.i.tude is very complicated towards Mirage Knight of League of Defender, he is both grateful and dreadful towards him, but he still feels dread for most of it. Although Mirage Knight had saved Fury’s life before but since Mirage Knight appeared, Fury had found that things were getting out of his control and they were getting out of his control at a very fast pace.
In addition to the unknown information, Fury’s plan to form the Avengers was also getting blocked by Lin Rui. In Fury’s view, if Mirage Knight had not intervened, Iron Man Tony Stark should have been fooled into the Avengers by him. With Fury and the Iron Man present in the team, the current Avengers will not be in a situation where they are getting supported solely by Captain America.
That’s right, although neither Tony nor Lin Rui exposed anything, Fury has already determined that it was because of Mirage Knight that Tony discovered his father Howard Stark’s things at SHIELD. This directly led Tony to discover a new element without getting Fury’s help, thus solving his own Palladium Poisoning situation.
With the intervention of Mirage Knight, Avengers was short of a guy who could hold up the situation and a guy who could argue with Rogers on the team. In Fury’s original plan, the Avengers were not a one-man team of Captain America, but rather a knife in SHIELD’s hand. In order to achieve such a balance, only Iron Man has enough strength and confidence to get along with Rogers as an equal.
And now Tony has not joined Avengers and in the case of a semi-cooperation with SHIELD, the current Avengers team is completely led by Captain Rogers, and Fury’s plan has all but ruined. So now, Fury is under pressure from the World’s Security Council and he has a team that does not follow orders. It’s not strange that he is in a bad mood.
Thinking about something, Fury looked up at the computer screen again. The screen shows some current and personal information of various powers. Iron Man is followed by information on Tony Stark and Stark Industries, Captain America is followed by information on Steve Rogers and the Avengers, and X-Men is followed by information on Professor Charles. As for Hydra, there is only one name there, Alexander, and there are also a few question marks. But behind the League of Defender, all positions but Daredevil Matt are black question marks.
“Mirage Knight, who the h.e.l.l are you?” Fury murmured to himself as he gazed at the black question mark representing Mirage Knight.
Fury has been investigating Mirage Knight’s ident.i.ty in reality, and it is not without suspicion that he left out Lin Rui who has a good relationship with Tony in real life. However, due to the lack of evidence, Fury remains suspicious all the time. And, with Fury’s suspicious nature, he suspects a lot of people besides Lin Rui but Lin Rui is in a low position on that list.
What’s more, Lin Rui has always been “Uncommon” in school. Even if he is following Tony for an experiment now, Fury is only looking at him as a Scientific Reserve Talent, but Mirage Knight is obviously a powerful person and he should not be a Seventeen-Year-Old Juvenile.
However, Hydra’s attack has caused Fury to pay more attention to him. After all, the raid included Lin Rui’s parents, and Fury would have thought better of it. However, in the end, Lin Rui and Tony also gave reasonable explanations.
Moreover, Fury has seen the magic attack from the upgraded Iron Man. It is indeed more powerful than ordinary conventional weapons, and it can also be controlled by JARVIS. Therefore, it would be normal for Hydra to launch an attack on Lin Rui’s parents due to his relationship with Tony.
The point is that Hydra’s attack was clearly an operation against the Avengers, League of Defender, and X-Men using ordinary people as bait. If it wasn’t for Mirage Knight who had used all his relationships and requested a lot of support because of his parents’ safety, then SHIELD would have suffered a heavy loss under the attack form the s.p.a.ce Infinity Stone.
Therefore, the suspicion of Lin Rui’s family has been greatly reduced, as Hydra must have wanted them to use as bait. However, Fury did not know that Mirage Knight was the first to respond to this operation, and called for all support, which means that Mirage Knight is very concerned about these ordinary people.
“The Avengers are still not strong enough. Perhaps, it’s time to get in touch with that one. I don’t know if he is able to control his power over the past few years.” Fury suddenly sighed when he glanced at the members of the Avengers on the computer screen and muttered to himself.

Subsequently, Fury turned off the information on the screen and began other work. After the attack by Hydra, Fury is now working on upgrading the SHIELD’s intelligence department, which is also a major project. Fury who is busy improving SHIELD’s strength will not know that he may not remain a Director for long because some people do not like him.
…
Just when Fury was working hard to find the clues of Hydra, the real Hydra has now changed greatly with the appearance of the Red Skull. After dispatching the Magic Cube to attack SHIELD and League of Defender yesterday, Red Skull has taken the Magic Cube to another hidden base again.
Zi Zi Zi~
Buzz!
There is a huge square in the center of this Hydra base. Now the center of the square is full of large machines, similar to the machines in the base that was destroyed yesterday. Now, these machines are working, making electrical and mechanical sounds from time to time.
In the room at the edge of the square, Red Skull sat on his sofa and watched the progress of the experiment in the square in front of him. Although the skin on Red Skull’s face is close to the bones, and it is still blood red, it can be seen that the expressions on Red Skull’s face is worse than Fury’s.
“Sixty years! It has been sixty years since I found the Magic Cube and I have not found all of its secrets! If we go on like this, we can only wait to die when our enemies come to the door!” Red Skull whispered fiercely, looking at the machines in the square outside.
“However, after using Magic Cube yesterday, it seems that there have been some changes. I hope to completely unlock its secrets as soon as possible!”
