Li Jie never thought that one day he would meet the famous king of agents in the Marvel World in this way, the former director of S.H.E.L.D., the one-eyed dragon Nick Fury.
In an apartment hotel owned by the Greenland Group in Long Island, in a well-decorated luxury suite of nearly 200 square meters. An expensive hand-woven bohemian style carpet was laid on the floor inconspicuously, as humble as a synthetic fiber carpet.
The floor was made of maple and ash, and it was waxed until it was so shiny that one could see one's reflection. It made one wonder if this thing had any friction when walking on it.
The hand-made oak furniture was the basic furnishings of this suite. As for the crystal lights on the ceiling and the 75-inch 4K LCD TV, these modern appliances were not worth mentioning at all.
In this suite, the most eye-catching thing was not the high-end atmosphere, but the low-key luxurious interior decoration. Instead, there was a very large bar in the suite. (It was a very large area for a family bar, but not compared to a business bar.)
In the four-meter-high room, there was a towering wine cabinet. It occupied the size of a whole wall, and the wine cabinets made of teak were densely arranged, looking like a beehive at first glance.
The whole room was filled with a special fragrance that refreshed the mind and intoxicated people. Li Jie guessed that half of the smell should come from the teak itself. The other kind of mixed fruity and sweet smell should be the smell of the wine. After sobering up in this room for a long time (note: not sobering up after getting drunk, but letting the wine "sober up"), the fragrance of the good wine had left a special smell here.
A wall of wine cabinets was densely arranged with all kinds of wine, all kinds of brandy, whiskey, rum, tequila, gin, and vodka. In the corner, there were some dry red, dry white, and sparkling champagne.
All kinds of wines that Li Jie had never heard of before were served here in one go. This was simply a western wine museum. In this bar (Li Jie thought it was more appropriate to call it a wine cellar), two men were smoking cigars that Li Jie didn't understand at all.
One of them was his old acquaintance, Frank the Punisher, and the other was a black man with an eyepatch over one eye. His remaining eye was extremely sharp.
He leaned back in the leather chair, took a deep puff of his cigar, and said, "Nightcrawler, I really didn't expect that we would meet in this way. Please take a seat."
Li Jie nodded and sat in the seat Nick was gesturing at. "I didn't think we'd meet like this either, Chief Nick."
Frank didn't seem to be interested in their conversation. He seemed to be enjoying his cigar and the gin in his glass. There was an ice bucket beside him. The ice, which had been frozen many times, had a crystal-clear luster, showing that there were no impurities in the ice.
Nick took a puff of his cigar. "Actually, I didn't plan to meet you like this, especially now that I should be locked up in prison. My existence shouldn't be known to outsiders. "
As he spoke, Nick glanced at Frank, but Frank didn't respond at all. The Punisher quietly poured half a glass of gin into his glass, threw two ice cubes into it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Jie smiled. "Actually, that's true, Chief Nick. You can't blame Frank for this. In fact, it was a complete accident that your information was leaked. I know that these things are just accidents. Maybe we are fated to meet in a certain way. "
The corner of Nick's mouth twitched. "But that's not part of my plan."
Li Jie shook his head. The two smokers were smoking, and the air around them wasn't very good, even though the air window was open.
"It's impossible to have everything under control, Chief Nick. Just like the first big operation that the Night Watch carried out, hunting vampires and protecting the convoy carrying the Vampire Bible. Didn't that plan fail too? Because of all kinds of accidents. " The matter that Li Jie mentioned had been in the past for a long time, and it was the first time that the Night Watch had dealt with S.H.E.L.D. indirectly.
Nick raised his eyebrows. "If you put it that way, that's true. Nothing can be smooth sailing. You have to be prepared for everything. "
The two didn't talk about the past in depth, but quickly changed the topic. Because this time, Li Jie came to ask Nick for a favor.
So, Li Jie nodded and said, "Yes, double insurance is important for many things. Just like the Thunder Agents plan that you made, Chief Fury. I still agree with it. "
Nick didn't respond to Li Jie's praise. He just put down the cigar and said, "Tell me your real intention. Frank said that you have an important matter related to the split between S.H.E.L.D. and the Heavenly Sword Bureau? "
Nick's eyes were sharp. He didn't come to chat with Li Jie. In fact, he had a certain skepticism about such a meeting, which was normal. As the king of agents, if Nick could believe a person just because of a few words, then he had to consider his professionalism as an agent.
Li Jie waved his hand. "Well, it's actually very complicated, but it's actually very simple …"
Li Jie told him everything about the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, especially about the murder of Howard Stark and his wife. Little Bucky involved two big shots, Tony and Rogers, so he had to be careful.
Hearing what Li Jie said, Nick had to stand up cautiously. He walked slowly in the room. "If what you said is the truth, then the impact of this matter is very big."
"If the Winter Soldier appears again, or even if someone deliberately releases news about him and reveals it to Tony or Rogers, it will cause a rift between the two!" Even a veteran like Nick Fury couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the worst outcome.
Rogers now has too much power, and Tony has too many resources. If they really fell out, it would be a big deal for the world.
"You're right, this is indeed a big deal, and we need to plan early!" Nick was already thinking of a way. "We need to find the Winter Soldier before others find him and control him. If necessary, we can even kill him! "
Nick looked at Frank, who was drinking. "Frank, I need your help. You have to help me find this guy. I want to make sure he doesn't mess things up. And you, Nightcrawler, since you know the news, I hope you keep your mouth shut. Leave the rest to me, okay? "
Nick seemed to have become the director of S.H.E.L.D. again. He was giving orders step by step, and there was a sense of urgency in his tone.
But compared to Nick, who was in a state of urgency, the two people in front of him, Nightcrawler and the Punisher, looked calm.
Nightcrawler was sitting in a leather chair playing with his nails, while the Punisher was still drinking his wine.
Nick looked at the two with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. "Are you guys indifferent? We're facing a big crisis now. I thought you were looking for me to solve the problem, Nightcrawler. "
Li Jie spread out his hands. "I really want to solve the problem."
Nick didn't like Nightcrawler's sloppy attitude. "Then take action! You can't expect to rely on others for everything! Aren't you good friends with Iron Man?! "
Frank waved his hand and smiled. "Nick Fury, you've been fooled."
"What?" Nick was a little puzzled.
"In fact, I believe that Nightcrawler had dealt with a lot of things before he came to you. He naturally has his reasons for not being in a hurry. I know him better than you. "Frank smiled at Nick. There was a meaning in his smile that Nick didn't quite understand.
At this time, Li Jie also spoke. "Director Nick, I'm glad that you can see the big picture so clearly. Even though you lost your position as director of S.H.E.L.D. for some reason, you still think about the world and know what shouldn't happen. And you are willing to deal with the aftermath of some things. "
This was what Nick had just said. Nick said that he had to make plans and plans for the Winter Soldier matter. Li Jie was just repeating it.
Nick heard a hint of joy in Nightcrawler's words. Nightcrawler continued, "In fact, I might not have made it clear just now, Director Nick. I've actually caught the Winter Soldier. "
Nick: "What?!"
Li Jie continued, "And I also told Tony and Captain Rogers about it."
Nick: "What?!!"
Li Jie: "They had an argument at first, but I settled it in the end. There was just a disagreement about how to deal with Bucky Barnes, so I thought of you, Director Nick. "
Nick: "What?!!! Wait! Wait! You just said that you solved everything and just had a disagreement about how to deal with Bucky Barnes? "Nick seemed to have guessed something.
Li Jie nodded. "Yes, that's it. I was a little worried, but Director Nick, you just said that we shouldn't let these bad things happen, right? Your sense of responsibility is admirable. You're not in your position but you're still doing your job. So I want to ask, is there a shortage of people in your Thunder Agent Team? "
"Staff Sergeant Bucky Baines can report to your team at any time," Li Jie said with a cheerful tone.
Nick Fury was speechless.
