CHAPTER 431 THE INVESTIGATION

New York, on the top floor of the Stark Industries Building, Tony did not move after hanging up on Lin Rui, he sat quietly in a chair for a while. Tony wasn’t very calm after knowing the news of Lin Rui being still alive. In fact, he was also very surprised. The calmness of the tone on the phone was pretended.

Call~

“This kid!” Finally, after calming down his excitement, Tony stood up from his chair after saying something to himself.

“JARVIS, how many guests do we have coming here tonight?” Tony slowly asked JARVIS as he walked towards the open-air platform outside the top floor of Stark Industrial Building.

“Sir, after receiving the news, Mr. Peter Parker was already on the road, and he is about a minute away. And Mr. Daredevil will probably arrive at the same time as Spiderman.

On the X-Men side, Professor Charles had just sent a message, they are already on the way. As for Captain Rogers, he seems to be still at the headquarters of SHIELD and will not come for the time being.” Hearing Tony’s inquiry, JARVIS replied immediately.

Before Lin Rui told JARVIS to tell others that he was still alive, JARVIS actually notified Rogers from SHIELD and Professor Charles from X-Men other than the League of Defenders.

“Why didn’t Rogers come? Looks like something did go wrong with him. JARVIS, pay more attention to the SHIELD. If Rogers needs our help, I don’t mind putting in some effort. After all, we ‘re on the same team!” Tony’s eyes flashed after hearing JARVIS’s answer.

…

After the operation against Hydra ended yesterday, in addition to the big event of Red Skull and Mirage Knight’s death, a big event also happened inside SHIELD after the operation ended. That is, as the director of SHIELD: Fury was investigated by the World Security Council.

It was a sudden investigation against Fury. Many mistakes Fury made while serving as SHIELD’s Director and some unnecessary personnel sacrificed were turned out. Among them, letting Hydra lurk inside SHIELD was the biggest accusation.

Fury, who had always been calm also panicked at this sudden investigation and various accusations against him. Fury wasn’t unaware that the World Security Council had always had a problem with him, but he really didn’t expect them to take any actions against him.

Not to mention that Fury has been with SHIELD for so many years and has a loyal staff, who can replace him if they want to kick him out? Fury can’t think of anyone.

SHIELD is not some random organization, it needs someone who could hold down the fort. The World Security Council wouldn’t have allowed Fury to be SHIELD’s Director for so many years and tolerate Fury’s autocratic style if they were qualified or had anyone else for the job.

That is Captain America Steve·Rogers, this Nationwide Superhero is also a very popular figure within SHIELD. If Rogers was really willing to stand up, Fury’s ousting would be a sure thing. The question is, will Rogers stand up?

Snap!

In a secret investigation room at SHIELD headquarters, Fury sat quietly on a chair, with a simple table in front of him. Just now, several documents were thrown in front of him by the investigator. They were all the consequences of the sacrifice of some personnel caused by the decisions Fury made over the years.

The investigation and accusations against Fury have been so swift and furious that Fury has remained silent as the evidence has been presented. Fury can’t deny that the evidence is out there. But these facts, which no one would have blamed on him in ordinary times, should count as normal sacrifices for better ends.

As the leader of one of the world’s most powerful forces, Fury could not possibly run such a large organization without a heart to kill. But under these circumstances, theses are the strongest evidence that would bring him down.

“Director Fury, although you have not spoken, we all know that these materials are true. In the years since you have served as SHIELD’s Director, you have directly ordered the operation that sacrificed a total of 563 Soldiers. 1234 related personnel were seriously injured. The number of people with minor injuries and other blows to various departments was unknown.” Pointing at the papers on his desk, the suit-clad investigator, who had been sent directly by the World Security Council, spoke calmly.

Fury remained silent even after hearing the words of the Investigator in front of him. Fury knew that no matter what he said now was useless, the World Security Council was determined to drive him away this time. However, Fury still has his confidence, even if he is temporarily removed from his post, he will return sooner or later.

SHIELD can work with him at the head position. How would the fools of the World Security Council manage such a large and complex organization like SHIELD? Except for Fury, he really didn’t know who else could do such a job.

“Director Fury, in addition to these people who have been sacrificed due to your mistakes, we have a lot of other evidence against you in violating regulations and rules. But I don’t think you’d care to read them all.” The investigator continued.

Fury snorted at the investigator’s words. He will concede this time, but sooner or later he will return. Do the people in the World Security Council really think they he has nothing on them? Fury has been the Director of SHIELD for so many years.

As the world’s top agent, how could he not prepare himself for such life-saving things. If the World Security Council does too much this time, Fury will not let them go, and the information in his hands is enough to make the World Security Council fall apart.

“So, you are going to remain silent here. Maybe, I will call you the former Director in a while.” Knowing that someone like Fury will not compromise because of his words, the investigator spoke and stopped saying anything.
