Chapter 324: Chapter 322. New Card
In the Triskelion Building, SHIELD's headquarters.
Nick Fury looked at the information in his hand, feeling a headache coming on.
The recent series of events had been like a heavy load on the shoulders of the SHIELD Director.
He not only had to deal with the consequences of these events but also had to face questions from the various UN councils. Under such a heavy burden, even the Director of SHIELD was starting to feel tired. After all, even though he could lead the Avengers to save the world, Fury was still just an ordinary human. Despite his rigorous training as a special agent, he still felt tired at times and even felt that he lacked the strength to continue.
While SHIELD was dedicated to preventing major threats and safeguarding world security, the world was simply too vast for any one organization to handle on its own.
That's why, when faced with organizations like Peng Lai or the SCP Foundation, Fury tended to approach them instead of blindly opposing them.
SHIELD may be a spy agent organization, but it's not a villainous organization like Hydra. Although sometimes the means used to carry out missions may not necessarily be better than those used by villainous organizations, there was still a certain bottom line that must be maintained.
Besides, whether it was a secret organization like Peng Lai or the SCP Foundation, they have demonstrated terrifying combat power from the beginning of their appearance. Whether it's the power of the immortals from Peng Lai or the mysterious and unpredictable ability of Captain Borsalino from the SCP Foundation's second tactical unit, unless it was absolutely necessary to fight, or they pose a threat to the world like Jiu You, it was still better to try to make contact with them.
After all, although the threats to Earth were great, the universe beyond Earth was equally unsafe.
Fury knew from past experiences that there are various kinds of eyes, whether good or evil, watching their planet.
Knock knock –
As a knock sounded at the door, Alexander Pierce pushed it open and looked at Fury in the office with a helpless expression.
"Nick, your absence from the meeting made the Security Council very unhappy."
"You know, I've never liked meetings with that bunch of politicians." Fury covered the data in his hands and replied in a low voice.
In fact, Nick Fury wasn't lying. He had never had a good impression of those politicians in the Security Council, especially after the Chitauri invasion and the events in New York Bay. His only remaining hope for the World Security Council had also been exhausted.
"I know."
Pierce wasn't surprised by Fury's response. In fact, standing in his position, the more tense the relationship between SHIELD and the World Security Council, the more advantageous it was for Hydra's operations. Although he had his own thoughts, Pierce still wore a friendly expression and advised Fury, "But even if it's just for show, you still have to give them something. Otherwise, I'll have a hard time."
Pierce's words caused a slight change in Fury's expression. He looked up and glanced at his sincere friend before finally nodding. "Alright, I got it. Tell the Security Council that I'm sorry for my absence this time. I'll attend the next meeting with them."
Fury's words slightly eased the worried expression on Pierce's face. His gaze swept over the data in front of Fury, and then he casually asked, "It seems like you've run into some trouble."
"Trouble happens every day. All SHIELD can do is try to minimize the threats caused by trouble."
Noticing Pierce's gaze, Fury opened the file in his hand and laid it out in front of him, and replied in a casual tone, "Although Doctor Doom had been secretly detained by SHIELD, the follow-up handling of the Fantastic Four still needs to be dealt with. I've arranged for Agent Coulson to make contact with them, but it isn't going well ..."
"This is an internal matter for SHIELD, and my current position on the Council won't allow me to interfere." Pierce shook his head and deliberately drew a line to express his position.
Then, he probed Fury a few times, confirmed that the other party had no suspicions about his identity, and then looked for a random reason to leave.
Watching Pierce's departing figure, Fury withdrew the smile on his face. He looked down at the file in his hand, and after a brief silence, he took out another file from below, his gaze deepening.

[Reputation Points]: 135855
With a satisfactory harvest, Ryan nodded to himself as he took his gaze off the system's data panel.
However, he couldn't help but feel a bit strange about the fact that a portion of the points he received came from using the [Magic Flute] and transforming himself.
Especially considering that the reputation points he gained from the transformation weren't inferior to the chaos caused by Phantom Thief Kid's [Tiger Talisman]. In his silence, Ryan somewhat understood that the acquisition of points by the system wasn't solely based on terrifying or powerful impressions; sometimes, even an eyesore could bring a decent amount of points.
However, just the thought of his clone's appearance after transformation made even the well-prepared Ryan shiver. He quickly shook his head to get rid of the image that could serve as a nightmare.
'There were so many ways to obtain points; there's no need to rely on something so unpleasant.'
Although this method was the simplest in terms of profit, in a certain sense, it was nothing short of mental torment.
Anyway, Ryan won't be using it again for a while.
Taking a deep breath and refocusing his thoughts, Ryan looked at the glittering points on the system's data panel. Without much hesitation, he immediately exchanged it for a [Silver Treasure Chest.]
Compared with the cold reputation number, the actual card was more attractive to him.
