Chapter 45: Invitation From SHIELD
Chapter 45: Invitation From SHIELD
The night gradually faded and dawn broke.
In the room of the attic, Lod was sleeping soundly.
A ray of sunlight shone in through the window. The fragrance of flowers drifted in the air, accompanied by the gentle breeze outside the window. The white curtains slowly drifted.
The sleeping Lod suddenly felt his stomach sink, and then Nemu's tender voice came into his ears.
"Wake up, brother!"
"The sun ---is shining on my butt ---"
Lod opened his eyes in a daze and saw Nemu riding on his stomach, gently pushing him with two small hands.
"Morning... Nemu."
Lod lifted the messy hair on her forehead, revealing a delicate face. His face was still full of sleepiness. "What time is it now?"
"It's nine o'clock ---Brother!" Nemu said sweetly, "Get up quickly. Nemu made a special breakfast for you!"
"Okay..."
Lod got up and picked up Nemu. He scratched her nose and said with a smile, "My little Nemu is really smart. He actually learned how to cook."
"Of course!"
Nemu proudly raised his head, "Nemu is amazing ---"
"Hahaha..."
Lod smiled and carried Nemu downstairs to the living room.
In front of the Spirit Cleansing Pavilion was a store, and behind it was a living area, divided into two floors. Upstairs was where the two rested, while downstairs was the living room, kitchen, and bathing area.
Nemu broke free from Lod's embrace and then ran into the kitchen, clumsily carrying two plates as she walked out. "Brother! Look at the breakfast that Nemu specially made for you!"
Half of it was a pure Russian sausage, two pieces of burnt toast, a slightly charred fried egg, and a cup of warm milk.
Although it was not very difficult to do it, it could be seen from Nemu's dirty face that she was indeed very diligent in preparing.
"Nemu is so great ---"
Lod rubbed Nemu's little head and kissed her on the cheek. "Now you've learned to make breakfast!"
Nemu looked at Lod with her big black eyes. She held her face with her two small hands and said expectantly, "Brother ---Hurry up and have a taste of Nemu's cooking!"
"Okay ---"
Lod sat down with a smile. He took the fork from Nemu, cut off a piece of sausage, and put it into his mouth. After chewing for a while, he showed a satisfied expression. "Well... Nemu did a good job."
"Yeay!"
Nemu, who was praised, smiled even more happily.
Just like this, a slightly warm breakfast ended amidst the laughter of the two.
"---"
Just as Lod was about to make a trip to the underground space, the bell outside suddenly rang.
At this time, who would come?
Lod was puzzled. Then, he walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door were the half-bald Coulson and the Black Widow.
"Good morning, Mr. Lod."
Coulson revealed a professional fake smile and said, "I'm very sorry for disturbing your rest time."
"It's you guys?"
"Why are you guys looking for me?" Lod's expression was unchanging, and his voice became a bit cold.
"Here's the case, Mr. Lod."
Coulson revealed an apologetic expression and said, "May I ask if you know about Hell's Kitchen's explosion last night?"
It seemed that S. H. I. E. L. D. was anxious!
Last night, Hell's Kitchen's explosion had definitely alarmed many people, especially those politicians. It was likely that they were putting pressure on Nick Fury. Otherwise, Coulson wouldn't have appeared here early in the morning.
"I don't know."
Although Lod was well aware that the explosion was caused by him, he still deliberately revealed a trace of surprise. "Last night, I went back to Soul Society. I was not in the Modern Realm, so what happened?"
"Return to Soul Society?"
Black Widow, who did not speak, said,
She was keenly aware of the key to this sentence!
He could return to 'Soul Society' at any time!
In other words, the passageway between Soul Society and Earth could be opened at any time!
After receiving this news, Black Widow was slightly shocked, but she quickly suppressed it. There was no fluctuation on her face.
Coulson stared fixedly at Lod. After confirming that there was no flaw on his face, she said bitterly, "I can't explain the exact situation in one or two sentences. Could you please come with us to the headquarters to see the scene of the incident?"
Lod thought for a moment. He could go over and see the Director, Nick Fury. Then, he placed the 'Monitoring Microbe' on him and nodded. Yes, wait for me to clean up.
"Take your time!" There was a hint of joy in Coulson's eyes as he hurriedly said, "We'll just wait outside."
This scene made the two agent waiting in the distance look shocked.
Coulson had the authority of level eight agent within S. H. I. E. L. D., which was almost only lower than a few people. Moreover, he was the trusted aide of the director, but now he showed respect to such an ordinary person!
"What is the identity of that person?"
One of the younger agent asked curiously, "To be able to make Agent Coulson respect him so much?"
"Shut up!"
A slightly older agent's eyes were slightly cold. He said with a serious expression, "Todd, if you don't want to die, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
No matter when, all agent needed to remember that he should not ask what he should not ask!
How many young agent, or spies from other organizations, were secretly executed by S. H. I. E. L. D. because they asked about something they should not know!
Some things...
It was a top secret and could not be leaked. Once someone asked, they would be investigated and even executed!
And this little agent had clearly touched the edge of being sensitive!
Only then did Todd remember, and his face immediately broke out in sweat. He said nervously, "I'm sorry, sir!"
"Remember, there won't be a next time."
The coldness in the eyes of the older agent gradually disappeared. "If it happens again, I will personally execute you, Todd!"
"Yes!"
Todd wiped his sweat.
When the old agent turned around, he did not notice that there was a flash of killing intent in Todd's eyes.
...
After tidying up the room, Lod used Kido to seal and hide the underground space, so as not to be discovered by S. H. I. E. L. D. or others.
Then, Lod held Nemu's hand and sat in the back of an Audi.
The driver was Coulson, and the passenger was Black Widow.
"Mr. Lod, please sit down. We are ready to go."
Coulson skillfully lit the engine and stepped on the accelerator to the end.
Weng!
The engine roared and rushed out like a bolt of lightning on the long street, without any hesitation whether it would violate the traffic law!
Of course...
As ift someone dared to stop the FBI car.
S. H. I. E. L. D.'s daily life was to use the name of the FBI to do business. After all, who asked the other party to have a greater reputation than their S. H. I. E. L. D.?
The car passed through the city and then came to S. H. I. E. L. D.'s headquarters, the Triangle Wing Building, which was the one that had been destroyed in the second movie of Captain America.
The exterior of the building was transparent, and it was designed fully with bulletproof glass. There were strict surveillance and personnel security at the entrance. Ordinary outsiders would need to go through several checkpoints to enter.
However, with Coulson and Black Widow around, Lod did not need to go through these trivial matters and entered the building without any obstruction.
The four of them took the exclusive elevator and reached the top of the building, which was the office of S. H. I. E. L. D Director, Nick Fury.
Squeak ---
As the elevator door opened, a spacious office with floor-to-ceiling windows came into view.
"Welcome to S. H. I. E. L. D.'s headquarters."
The soy egg got up from the seat and stared at Lod with its remaining eye. He said in a deep voice, "Hello, Mr. Lod. I am Director S. H. I. E. L. D., Nick Fury. I am very happy to see you."
"Hello, Nick Fury."
Lod narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.
Finally... they met!
This old fox!
