Michael never expected to meet Phil Coulson under such circumstances.
The situation of their first meeting was so—unfriendly!
Three guns simultaneously pointed at Phil Coulson's head, no one would think this was a friendly scene, right!
...Michael recognized Phil Coulson at a glance.
Not to mention his appearance, which was at least eighty, if not ninety, percent similar to what he looked like in movies and TV shows, just the middle-aged Agent with the Marvel Universe's unique White Headed Eagle mark on his car and a receding hairline that went all the way to the top of his head.
Having followed 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' for six seasons, if Michael couldn't recognize who this guy was, he might as well try committing suicide to see if he could transmigrate back.
At the same time, Michael also had some bad conjectures.
He had been discovered!
Michael believed in the abilities of items materialized by the [mutated gem].
Since it said that no surveillance could capture his figure, then it definitely couldn't!
However, when he took off the 'infiltrator sunglasses' and put on 'rorschach's forgotten mask', Michael could be seen by people!
Although afterwards, those who had seen Michael would quickly forget most things about him.
But since Phil Coulson appeared here so quickly, there must be S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents at the pier.
Or even Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents!
In his heart, Michael actually leaned more towards them being Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
Because there were far more Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents on field duty than S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents on field duty!
HYDRA expanded S.H.I.E.L.D. not to strengthen the true S.H.I.E.L.D., but rather, more of those on field duty were actually HYDRA members!
Although Michael wasn't particularly panicked in his heart, after all, he was wearing a mask, and it was a mask that could make people forget most memories, and he wouldn't be captured by surveillance, so what was there to panic about?
But the thought that his appearance had also alerted HYDRA made Michael very annoyed.
In fact, based on Michael's understanding of HYDRA, these guys would definitely quickly initiate a search and capture operation against him.
With the support of a global surveillance intelligence network, this would be a very troublesome matter!
Humans are, after all, social creatures. Unless, every time he went out, he used the [mutated gem] to erase all traces.
Otherwise, with Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D.'s vast intelligence support, finding him would only be a matter of time.
Michael, who had no idea he had guessed wrong from the start, for now, did not want to slowly expose himself to these organizations.
Staring intently at Phil Coulson's face, Michael's heart was in a constant internal struggle!
Kill?
Not kill?
That is the question!
...Hmm?
Did you think Michael was considering killing Phil Coulson?
Wrong! Completely wrong!
No matter what, Phil Coulson is considered a righteous person in the Marvel Universe.
Although he is absolutely ruthless towards enemies, Michael never thought of killing him, at least not until he touched his bottom line.
What Michael was considering was whether to detonate the bombs buried in the dock!
Michael believed that he might have 'unintentionally' exposed something, but Michael himself didn't know what it was.
Then, by detonating the containers full of crude oil and turning the entire dock into an inferno, all traces would naturally disappear!
With a remote detonator materialized by energy, Michael only needed a thought to instantly turn the entire dock into a fiery hell!
And Michael and the two others were already seven or eight hundred meters away from the dock. Although a powerful Impact would hit them, Michael didn't care much.
The passive effect of the [mutated gem] makes him fearless of all energy Impacts that could harm Michael.
And Impact, precisely, was among them.
Although the passive effect of the [mutated gem] changes in proportion to Michael's physical strength.
However, as long as it wasn't an attack that would instantly turn Michael into dust, it would eventually be completely absorbed by the passive effect of the [mutated gem]!
Michael might be afraid of not being able to withstand the explosive power of those crude oil-filled containers, but that doesn't mean those Impacts could scare Michael.
The explosion of crude oil-filled containers is incredibly powerful, but it cannot be compared to carefully crafted bombs or missiles; its power still has an upper limit.
Don't look at its large tonnage; the real danger is actually the sea of Fire formed by the scattered burning after the explosion!
Petroleum is inherently a flammable substance, and the sea breeze by the coast further fuels the Fire. That kind of Fire, even if the entire New York Fire Department were brought over, couldn't extinguish it!
By then, let alone any Agent of HYDRA who might be lurking inside, even all the 'unintentional' traces left by Michael would disappear completely… "Hey~~"
"I really have no ill intentions."
"I am a reporter."
"You can look at my ID."
"You can check the authenticity of the ID online."
"I just heard an explosion here and came to check it out."
Phil Coulson didn't know that Michael was staring intently at him.
He even imagined a whole terrifying story because of his appearance.
On this point, Michael and Nick Fury might even have common ground~
Phil Coulson was vigorously waving his raised hands, indicating that he was completely harmless.
Although he was confident that this group of people shouldn't harm him, Phil Coulson wouldn't do anything to invite trouble.
"This…?"
Big Daddy and Hit-Girl were both stunned.
What's going on?
You're a reporter?
Do you know that when you suddenly started your car and turned on your headlights just now, we were already about to pull the trigger?
Is this the legendary 'ignorance is bliss'?
Big Daddy and Hit-Girl complained endlessly in their hearts.
And Michael, watching Coulson trying hard to appear harmless, seemed to have made some kind of decision.
In Michael's mind, it was as if he had fiercely pressed something… Boom!!!!
Soon, a huge explosion roared from the direction of the dock.
Along with the roar, one, or even several, powerful Impacts swept across.
Whether it was Phil Coulson, Big Daddy, or Hit-Girl, all of them were caught off guard, thrown into the air, and rolled onto the ground.
Only Michael stood proudly in place.
Facing the towering flames and the mushroom-like rising smoke, he remained silent for a long time.
I! Michael! Am no longer pure after all!
