What made Phil even more uneasy was that Loki, the second prince of Asgard, had dropped a Destroyer in the sparsely populated wilderness of Texas last time. What about next time?
Like … now?
Although New Haven wasn't as big as New York, there was a lot of people around Yale University.
If another Destroyer II were to fall, hundreds of people would immediately die here.
How troublesome! Phil could only sigh as he looked at Thor, who was showing off his affection to the others with Dr. Jane.
He called his men over, carefully instructed them to be on guard tonight, and arranged for a helicopter to take him to New York.
New Haven was only a hundred kilometers away from Manhattan. He could still make it back tonight if he flew fast.
Night fell on New York again.
This giant who had entered spring refused to sleep. He stubbornly sprinkled the light of money and power, and called out to those who were equally tempted to participate in the night's revelry. All kinds of parties, performances, and secret conversations were going on.
For example, at this moment, Phil was sitting in Central Park, looking up at the huge, shining STARK logo not far away.
Many thoughts were swirling in his mind.
Why didn't he report this to Nick Fury ahead of time?
Batman must know Natasha's identity. Why didn't he look for her, but instead looked for him, an "old acquaintance."
And what was that "big business"? A business that Batman said "big" wasn't an ordinary business. Perhaps it wasn't a matter of money anymore.
Apart from Batman and Iron Man, why did Thor, the three warriors of the Immortal Palace, Asgard, the King of Gods, Loki, the Destroyer, Mourning Whip, V, Night Devil John, and the black catgirl appear?
How many potential threats were facing Earth now, and how many trump cards did Nick Fury have to deal with this increasingly troublesome situation?
Every question could make a normal person's thoughts go haywire.
But now, they were all running around in Phil's mind, making him forget to eat the two doughnuts and a cup of coffee he had just bought.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the passenger window.
Phil came back to his senses and immediately reached for the gun at his waist. He looked out of the passenger window and saw a black SUV without lights parked next to his car.
At the same time, he received a text message on his phone.
Phil glanced at the few letters in the text message and combined them into a message. "I'm next to you."
He immediately opened the door, walked to the black SUV, and got in through the open back door.
The door closed automatically, and he heard a familiar deep voice. "Long time no see, Phil."
Phil naturally put on his usual smile. "Yes, long time no see, Batman."
Luke asked, "How was it? Did you enjoy your trip with the first prince of Asgard?"
Phil's expression stiffened and he smiled bitterly. "It's alright."
Luke said, "Okay, since you have to work overtime, let's get down to business."
He pressed a button, and a holographic screen appeared in the car. He reached out and clicked on a table of contents. "I'll give you five minutes to look around."
Phil's gaze landed on the virtual screen, and his eyes seemed to suddenly light up. He reached out and opened the directory to take a look.
For the next five minutes, he just kept checking and flipping through the items in the directory.
After five minutes, Luke waved his hand, and the virtual screen disappeared.
Phil's eyes darkened, and he panicked. "Wait, I'm not done yet."
Luke asked, "You want it?"
Phil answered honestly at once, "Yes."
Luke said, "You can only use this for yourself for the time being. You have to keep it a secret from SHIELD. Can you do that?"
Phil was stunned. "What?"
Luke chuckled. "What do you think SHIELD is?"
Phil frowned. "You don't believe in SHIELD, and don't believe that it's protecting the peace of this world?"
Luke nodded. "Of course. I won't believe in a slogan. I only believe in facts."
Phil's heart trembled. "What facts? Do you need me to prove it to you? "
Luke chuckled. "No, I'll give you a little hint. You can find the answer yourself."
Phil asked, "What hint?"
Luke stared at him with his blood-red glasses and flashed for a long time before he said, "Are you sure you want to get the answer from me first?"
Phil hesitated for a moment before he nodded decisively. "Yes, I'm sure."
Luke asked, "Have you heard of Hydra?"
"Of course, wait!" Phil said half a sentence and suddenly his eyes widened: "You mean, there are Hydra members in S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Luke said, "Yes. Like that bald Jasper Sitwell, you can look him up. "
He casually blamed the bald agent from last time, because this guy's hostility had come out of nowhere, and his reaction to the Destroyer's attack was even more baffling.
Even if it wasn't Hydra, there was still a big problem.
Phil's expression turned solemn.
He had investigated Sitwell after the Destroyer attack, but hadn't found anything wrong with him.
But would there be no problem with someone that Batman had personally named?
Thinking that, Phil's back started to break out in a cold sweat.
Sitwell wasn't a rookie, and had recently been promoted to a level 5 agent.
If this person was Hydra, it meant that Hydra had infiltrated SHIELD quite a bit.
For a moment, Phil even forgot about the "goods" that Batman had just shown him, and quickly considered the possible consequences of this incident.
Luke didn't disturb him, and simply sat there quietly.
In the end, Phil was an experienced agent. In less than two minutes, he suppressed the questions in his heart. "Is this a gift from the" big business "?"
Luke said, "Yes, you're too weak. If I don't give you something to protect yourself, you'll die very easily. "
Phil was speechless for a moment before he said with a bitter smile, "That's true. I don't think I can afford anything with my salary. "
He didn't think there was anything to discuss when he was too weak.
Luke said, "You can talk to that person about the business later. It has nothing to do with me."
Phil said, "Okay."
But he was still a little puzzled.
So far, it was still SHIELD that wanted something from Batman, so as long as he was willing to get closer to Nick Fury, the director wouldn't let go of this free "super thug."
After a brief silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Why me?"
Luke chuckled and gave the reason that he had already thought of. "Because you're pleasing to the eye."
Phil: "What?"
Luke said, "Even if Nick Fury isn't Hydra, even if he doesn't have any selfish motives. But that doesn't stop me from disliking this guy. "
"You have a grudge against him?" Phil was dumbfounded.
Or was he really discriminating against the director for being unlucky? He silently added the second half of the sentence in his heart.
Luke, however, smiled. "Then, do you think you're pleasing to the eye because you helped me before?"
"If it's really hard to understand, you can think of it as him being too ugly. In this world, being ugly is a sin! That's why I can't be bothered with him, "Luke said casually as he looked at Phil's expression.
Phil: … This reason seems even more vicious than the previous one, right?
