Coulson, who was standing to the side and overheard these secrets, suddenly understood.
So St. Kent College has this kind of background?
No wonder the academy was able to open instead of being sealed off the next day.
Coulson understood this, and then added another comment, effectively bringing the conversation to a close:
"When I was gathering information, I found out that the old Principal Kent had passed away. He was buried in the cemetery today. After the old principal passed away, his adopted son Clark became the new principal of St. Kent Academy."
The two exchanged a glance, and from these messages, they had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
As expected, it was probably after the old headmaster passed away that the mutants at St. Kent Academy became unruly and took advantage of the situation to kill, plunder, and seize shares!
There is no doubt that mutants were involved.
The only thing that remains unclear is... how many mutants were involved in this incident? Is the new headmaster of St. Kent Academy the mastermind or simply a scapegoat?
These matters require further investigation by Agent Coulson.
Lu Dan gave the order in a low, serious voice:
"Continue the investigation, conduct a thorough examination, and don't overlook any clues remember to maintain control of the situation and prevent things from developing into the worst possible outcome!"
What is the worst-case scenario?
The officials forced the people to rebel!
All the mutants at St. Kent Academy have been forced into criminalhood and have no choice but to retaliate – this is the worst-case scenario!
When officials force the people to rebel, the people have no choice but to rebel!
If you don't oppose them, you'll go to jail, or even be sent directly to a research lab for dissection and analysis!
Both Blackie and Coulson knew that the car accident was at most the work of a few mutants, and the other mutants at St. Kent Academy were innocent.
If the pressure is pushed too far, even those relatively kind mutants may be driven to the brink and resort to violence...
Magneto, who stirred up trouble, is a cautionary tale!
Coulson's expression turned serious, clearly realizing the gravity of the situation.
He nodded emphatically, making it clear:
"Don't worry, Chief. I will take action only after confirming the evidence. There will absolutely be no use of excessive force!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. is not exactly a paragon of virtue; they have a history of using excessive force and have been involved in numerous unfounded accusations.
Sometimes, when S.H.I.E.L.D. suspects something is wrong with you, even if they can't find evidence right away, you'll still have to spend time in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s jail.
Black Egg nodded, showing great trust in the latter.
As his right-hand man, Agent Coulson was fully worthy of the title and solved a lot of trouble for Blackie.
The two then reached the end of the corridor, where the bureau chief's office was located.
After reporting the matter, Coulson had no intention of going into the director's office for tea and a chat, and quickly turned and left.
The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. operates in this hurried manner.
...
Pushing open the door, Nick Fury appeared calm and prepared to review some newly acquired documents and information.
Based on some clues recently uncovered by S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury has discovered some suspicious signs, and these signs are coming from the Stark Organization!
"Perhaps, after a while, the Stark Group will undergo tremendous changes. Some people just like to have their cake and eat it too!"
Nick Fury muttered to himself, already having a plan.
If something really happens at Stark Industries, then S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attitude and actions will be crucial.
Stark Industries... that's a tempting piece of meat, and anyone who sees it would be tempted to get involved.
If it weren't for Howard's incredibly powerful legacy half of S.H.I.E.L.D. was run by his family, along with all sorts of other connections it's hard to say whether Tony Stark could have maintained this legacy.
His thoughts raced, and he considered many things, but Nick Fury was a quick-witted person and soon came to his senses.
Something's not right! Why is it so quiet?
At this time of year, when Nick Fury comes in, an orange cat will usually rush over and ask its owner to feed it.
Why didn't you come today?
In Nick Fury's director's office, there actually lives a terrifying creature that looks like an orange cat but is actually a Flerken.
Aside from Nick Fury, only Coulson knew a little about this orange cat's background.
Nick Fury turned his head sharply to look at the exquisite cat house and breathed a sigh of relief.
The orange cat is still there, but it's huddled in its cat house, looking very quiet.
After taking a closer look, Nick Fury frowned:
"Look at the orange cat... why does it look so scared, trembling like that?"
But how is that possible?
Don't let its orange cat appearance fool you; this cat is actually a Flerken, and when it gets angry, it can devour aliens like they're candy!
Is there anything, or rather, something that can make it feel fear?
Nick Fury stiffened slightly and quickly searched the room out of the corner of his eye.
Hoping to find something.
Soon, Nick Fury locked onto his desk!
Because on his desk, there was something that looked like a card that had been placed there at some point.
Perhaps it really was just a simple card, and not a bomb in the shape of a card?
Nick Fury didn't dare to be careless and carefully picked up the card. A line of text was printed on the front of the card:
Nothing happened in Manhattan today.
Nick Fury frowned, and after a moment's thought, quickly determined what the card was about.
Those four "accidental" car accidents!
Or rather about the mutant unrest at St. Kent Academy!
"Did the mutants from St. Kent Academy come here and leave this card?"
This is a provocation!
Nick Fury showed no sign of yielding; on the contrary, his expression grew even more somber and solemn!
How dare a mutant brazenly walk into S.H.I.E.L.D. and even leave a card with a threat on the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
This is a threat to him, a threat to S.H.I.E.L.D., a threat to the dignity of this authoritative department!
This is a slap in the face for Piapia!
If Nick Fury backs down or backs down, then he's not Nick Fury, and he's not the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"Sanctions! They must be sanctioned, using the harshest measures!"
He kept spouting threats until Nick Fury inadvertently flipped the card over, at which point the threats stopped abruptly, as if he had been choked and fell silent.
That card was really just an ordinary card.
Apart from a line of text printed on the front, there was nothing on the back except for a simple symbol.
It was a rather strange "S" symbol!
It was this symbol that made Nick Fury instantly cower in place, refraining from any further aggressive behavior.
even...
Judging from his reactions, one could see that cold sweat was starting to appear on his forehead, and his pupils were unnaturally dilated.
My gaze shifted to the cat house.
Looking at the Flerken trembling inside the cat house, Nick Fury finally understood why the latter looked like that.
Standing frozen in place for a long time, Nick Fury remained silent, a stark contrast to his previous ruthless and threatening demeanor.
After a long while, he dialed Agent Coulson's number, his voice somewhat hoarse:
"Return immediately, and cancel everything you have done!"
The deterrent power of a single card is unbelievable!
