Of course.
Nick Fury understood Tony Stark's personality.
He was arguably the most willful and unpredictable super-rich second-generation heir in New York, even in all of America.
Compared to ordinary rich people, it was perfectly understandable for him to have some different hobbies.
Who knows, maybe the Playboy secretly enjoyed these supernatural things?
No one could guarantee it, could they?
But no matter what, Nick Fury couldn't overturn Black Widow's deduction that Tony Stark was also a diary holder.
In fact, logically speaking, this deduction was even smoother and more coherent.
After all, even if Tony Stark had a unique personality and different preferences, wasn't it a bit too sudden for him to have just escaped the cave and then immediately obtain all of Stan's incriminating evidence?
Not only that.
By incorporating this deduction, it not only completed the logical chain for Tony Stark but also filled the loophole of the diary's inaccurate predictions.
In other words.
The loophole of the diary's inaccurate predictions had found a full and reasonable explanation!
So, considering all these circumstances, the legendary Eyepatch, Nick Fury, finally decided on his attitude towards the diary:
All the intelligence revealed in the diary would temporarily be assumed to be true!
Even some information that seemed absurd and contradicted Nick Fury's understanding, such as S.H.I.E.L.D. being infiltrated by HYDRA to an extremely exaggerated extent.
Nick Fury would carefully analyze every essential piece of information in it, and even arrange corresponding operational deployments!
And if that were the case, Nick Fury would be very busy next.
Because the important intelligence revealed in the diary was indeed a lot.
"Officer, what do you think?"
Black Widow's voice broke Nick Fury's thoughts, and Natasha glanced at Eyepatch as she asked.
"I don't rule out that possibility."
Nick Fury nodded expressionlessly; no one, not even Black Widow, could see through his deepest thoughts.
"So, Officer, what do you plan to do?"
Black Widow asked Nick Fury for his opinion again, then paused and specifically added, "I mean, are we taking any measures against that Satan?"
"No, we won't do that for now."
After a moment of deliberation, Nick Fury made this decision.
After all, from the tone of the diary, it was clear that Satan apparently didn't know that his diary had some "readers."
This meant that although the person who wrote the diary was Satan, the person who sent the diary might not be Satan.
There was a high probability that it was someone else!
Even if Nick Fury wanted to take any measures regarding the diary, he should be looking for the person who sent them the diary, not the person who wrote it.
In fact, precisely for this reason, Nick Fury became even more cautious about alerting Satan.
After all, if Satan knew his diary had readers, would he still recklessly reveal those important pieces of intelligence?
Not to mention.
Given Satan's abilities, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. really wanted to do something, they might not be able to!
So, after an overall assessment, Nick Fury made the same decision as Black Widow and Tony Stark.
To maintain the current status quo for now.
"I understand."
Black Widow nodded, assenting from the side.
She now had a clear idea of her Officer's attitude towards the diary.
So, Black Widow immediately made a request to Nick Fury.
"Officer, I want to apply to investigate the Red Room!"
Black Widow said to Nick Fury with a serious expression.
Previously, Black Widow didn't have enough evidence to confirm the Red Room's existence, so she couldn't approach S.H.I.E.L.D., but now it was different.
Her Officer had also become an "insider" who jointly held the diary.
Black Widow naturally had no more reservations.
"No, Natasha, I'll hand the Red Room matter to Barton; I have other assignments for you."
Nick Fury made his decision after only a brief thought.
He immediately rejected Black Widow and gave her another mission.
"I want you to infiltrate Tony Stark's side."
"Stark?"
Black Widow raised an eyebrow slightly, making an obvious guess, "You want me to confirm if Stark really holds the diary?"
"That's just one of the tasks."
Nick Fury didn't deny it, "Besides that, I also want you to evaluate Stark. I will combine your evaluation to finally decide the ultimate candidate for the Avengers."
"Officer, I think the diary has already provided the evaluation."
Black Widow shrugged. The diary had already made it very clear that Tony Stark would be an Avenger in the future.
Not just an Avenger, but one of the three giants of the Avengers!
"I know what's written in the diary, Natasha."
Nick Fury said indifferently.
Even if he decided to temporarily assume the diary's spoilers were true, he wouldn't treat its contents as gospel.
For Eyepatch, that intelligence would only be considered an important reference, nothing more.
"OK."
Black Widow, who deeply understood her Officer, said no more. "Besides that? Is there anything else you need me to do?"
"You just need to do these two things well."
"Sounds like no challenge."
Black Widow shrugged and left Eyepatch's office in a hurry, carrying her diary.
"Officer, what are your orders?"
As soon as Black Widow left, Nick Fury wasted no time and called in the honest Agent Coulson again.
"Coulson, I'm entrusting you with a top-secret mission."
"Next, I need you to lead a team to the Arctic Ocean."
Nick Fury directly gave Coulson this order.
The Arctic Ocean?
Coulson's mind began to race. There didn't seem to be any unusual discoveries in the Arctic Ocean area.
It seemed his Officer must have obtained some new intelligence.
The honest Coulson didn't ask further, simply stood at attention, like a good student.
Waiting for Nick Fury's instructions.
"According to reliable intelligence, your idol might not be dead and is still lying in the Arctic Ocean."
"I want you to personally confirm this."
Nick Fury's voice sounded again, and Coulson, opposite him, could no longer remain calm.
It was no secret that Coulson admired Captain America; anyone familiar with Coulson knew this.
So, even though Nick Fury didn't mention the name "Captain America," Coulson immediately knew who Nick Fury was referring to.
It was precisely for this reason that he was truly surprised.
"Officer, do you really believe that a person can lie at the bottom of the sea for seventy years and not die?"
Coulson couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Even if Coulson wished more than anyone for this to be true, for his idol to still be alive, his first reaction was still to find the news somewhat absurd.
Even a super soldier couldn't be so abnormal, could they?
Moreover, according to various data, although Captain America's physical fitness reached the human limit, it didn't reach an exaggerated level.
Seventy years without food or drink seemed even more unlikely.
"That's why I'm sending you personally."
Nick Fury didn't explain much, just said to Coulson meaningfully.
"Understood, Officer."
Coulson didn't say anything more, immediately agreeing, "If the Captain is truly alive, I will bring him back."
"Very good, then act quickly."
Nick Fury waved his hand, dismissing Coulson.
"Wait a moment!"
However, just as Coulson was about to turn, Nick Fury added, "Choose some trustworthy people."
The diary said that S.H.I.E.L.D. was full of HYDRA undercover Agents!
And Eyepatch had temporarily assumed this was true.
"I will, Officer."
Coulson obviously didn't truly understand Nick Fury's meaning, still simply thinking that Nick Fury considered this mission important, which was why he specifically gave the instruction.
He wouldn't have thought so much.
However, Nick Fury really couldn't explain this matter in detail to Coulson.
He could only let Coulson remain "confused" for now.
"Hill, I have a mission for you."
Nick Fury's operational deployment wasn't over. After Coulson, Eyepatch called in Agent Hill.
He also gave her a top-secret mission.
"Anthony Vanko, the Soviet scientist who jointly developed the Arc Reactor with Howard Stark, do you remember him?"
Nick Fury asked Hill with a profound look.
"I remember him. He later parted ways with Howard and was repatriated to the Soviet Union. Why do you ask?"
After a brief recollection, Hill asked Nick Fury in return.
"I've received secret intelligence that Anthony Vanko has a high probability of returning to America. He might also have a son named Ivan Vanko."
"That Ivan Vanko might possess Iron Man Armor related technology. I want you to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Nick Fury gave Agent Hill this order.
That's right.
Nick Fury had his eyes on the Iron Man Armor technology!
Of course, it wasn't just Nick Fury; after Tony Stark officially unveiled the Iron Man Armor, countless people across America and even the World had their eyes on that technology.
Eyepatch was naturally no exception.
However, considering Tony Stark's relationship with Howard Stark, and the Playboy's complex background, Eyepatch decided not to use any means against Tony Stark.
But what if it was someone other than Tony Stark?
Especially a guy with roots in the Soviet Union!
What reason did Eyepatch have to be polite?
Not to mention.
The "demonic" superhero era recorded in the diary was quite dangerous and chaotic.
His future self, or rather, his self from another World, also secretly developed weapons because of it, didn't he?
In this situation, Nick Fury had even more reason to master Iron Man Armor technology!
"Understood, sir!"
Agent Hill also took her leave.
Just like that.
One order after another was continuously issued by Nick Fury.
Eyepatch made numerous corresponding deployments and arrangements based on the intelligence revealed in the diary.
Some of these were for things that had already been confirmed or had occurred, so there was naturally nothing more to say.
As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he certainly couldn't ignore them and had to respond accordingly.
However, regarding the things that hadn't happened yet, Eyepatch actually had another intention.
That was, to take advantage of the opportunities to repeatedly verify the accuracy of the diary's intelligence!
It could be said that Nick Fury spent almost an entire afternoon on the diary.
He had basically done almost everything he could.
But the most crucial and headache-inducing piece of intelligence left Nick Fury temporarily helpless.
What intelligence?
Naturally, it was the HYDRA infiltration.
This kind of undercover Agent hunt couldn't be completed overnight.
Moreover, according to the diary, there were more HYDRA undercover Agents than S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
In this situation, it became even harder for Nick Fury to investigate undercover Agents.
He even felt a bit at a loss as to where to start.
Because if what the diary said was true, Nick Fury had no one to use!
Aside from the "tragically sacrificed" Coulson, and Black Widow and Barton, the two Avengers who were stamped by the diary as trustworthy.
Then there was Hill.
She had always been one of Nick Fury's absolute confidantes, and Nick Fury temporarily deemed her trustworthy.
So he entrusted some important missions to these few people.
As for the others?
Eyepatch, who never trusted anyone to begin with, became even more cautious.
Rubbing his temples, Nick Fury temporarily made a decision.
The HYDRA undercover Agent matter couldn't be rushed; it needed a long-term plan.
After all, if there were truly that many undercover Agents within S.H.I.E.L.D., even the slightest stir from him would alert the enemy.
And facts proved that Nick Fury's decision was very correct.
Because just a few days later, a large part of his arrangements and deployments in the office were leaked.
Reaching Alexander Pierce's ears.
Fortunately, there were no measures specifically aimed at rooting out undercover Agents, otherwise, it really would have aroused the suspicion of his old superior.
However, even so, Nick Fury still attracted some attention from Pierce.
Because some of Eyepatch's actions surprised Alexander Pierce.
"You mean, Nick Fury ordered Coulson to go to the Arctic Ocean to look for Captain America, he thinks Captain America is still alive?"
Inside the top-floor office of the Triskelion.
Alexander Pierce looked at the HYDRA Senior Undercover Agent in front of him, confirming.
That's right, Coulson did follow Nick Fury's arrangements and selected some trustworthy subordinates.
But how could Coulson have imagined that even so, he still chose a full half of HYDRA's personnel!
His every move was completely and accurately observed by Alexander Pierce.
