Is this someone from your S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Talos quickly opened the file and glanced at it, feeling a bit surprised.
These Skrulls, led by Talos, had secretly carried out many such covert missions for Nick Fury.
They had made significant contributions to Nick Fury's steady rise through S.H.I.E.L.D., eventually reaching the Director's position.
In that long period, Talos didn't know how many people he had impersonated, but impersonating a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent was truly very rare.
"It seems this is no small matter, right?"
Talos quickly made this judgment.
"This guy is an undercover Agent from another secret organization."
"I have reliable intelligence indicating that this secret organization has developed many undercover Agents within S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I want you to find as many of those undercover Agents as possible."
Nick Fury spoke to Talos with a serious expression.
However, even for a secret force like Talos, he held back some information.
He only told the other party it was a "secret organization," without revealing it was HYDRA.
"I knew it, you just won't let me rest."
Talos couldn't help but complain, but he didn't refuse.
This mission would be extremely difficult for any spy, but for the Skrulls, who could change their appearance at will, it actually didn't pose much of a challenge.
"Don't harbor unrealistic fantasies; people like you and I are destined to be busy for life."
Nick Fury casually agreed, then brought up the main topic again, "This is just the first step. Get your people ready. Once you successfully infiltrate, I need this infiltration to go deeper."
Considering HYDRA's infiltration, how could Nick Fury be satisfied with just one HYDRA undercover Agent?
The more, the better!
Although there were only a few dozen Skrulls on Earth, Nick Fury believed that if used well, they could play a huge role.
These dozens of Skrulls would be his secret weapon against HYDRA!
Of course.
Nick Fury could never have known that the Skrulls on Earth were not just the few dozen he imagined, but had already grown to millions!
Nick Fury, as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had always been kept in the dark.
"Oh, by the way…"
After finishing the serious discussion with Talos, Nick Fury started chatting with Talos about other things.
He rambled on and on, which could be summarized in two words: bluffing and promising.
After all, the diary had mentioned the "Secret Invasion" campaign.
Although the description wasn't too detailed, it did point out that it was because he kept using others as pawns, which caused the other party to become dissatisfied.
With all the intelligence in the diary verified, Nick Fury naturally attached great importance to this matter.
While dealing with other matters during this period, he also didn't forget to give those Skrulls some sweeteners.
In order to nip the "Secret Invasion" in the bud.
"Alright, that's all for now. Keep in touch."
After all matters were discussed, Nick Fury greeted Talos and left the coffee shop.
In the coming period, Nick Fury's work focus would naturally be to coordinate with Talos's infiltration.
Although from a technical standpoint, Talos could transform into the HYDRA Agent at any time, things naturally wouldn't be that simple.
Before his "transformation," there was still a lot of preparatory work to be done.
At the very least, he needed to have a sufficient understanding of the person he was about to "imitate."
Whether it was personality, habits, or experience.
Otherwise, it would be easy to be exposed in front of acquaintances.
Not to mention that the person he was to imitate was a spy from an intelligence agency; any slight abnormality would give him away.
Simply put, even if Nick Fury had a cheat like the Skrulls, he still had to proceed slowly and not rush things.
Fortunately, both Nick Fury and Talos were very experienced in this kind of thing, and everything was progressing steadily.
After this matter had more or less gotten on track, Nick Fury began to divert some attention to other matters.
What matters?
Ivan Vanko's matter!
"Officer, Ivan Vanko has successfully miniaturized the Arc Reactor and also created an exoskeleton device."
"For some time now, he has been secretly investigating Stark. According to the intelligence and clues we have, he is planning an attack on Stark."
Agent Hill reported the latest relevant intelligence to Nick Fury.
"Only an exoskeleton device?"
Nick Fury was still a bit dissatisfied with this, even feeling a sense of disappointment.
The diary said this guy used Stark's technology against Stark, and Nick Fury subconsciously thought this person had also created an Iron Man Armor.
As a result, it was just an exoskeleton device?
That was quite a difference from the Iron Man Armor.
"Yes, Officer, only an exoskeleton device."
"Based on our observations during this period, Ivan Vanko does not possess the technology to manufacture Iron Man Armor."
Agent Hill said with a very confident tone.
Agent Hill had been ordered to monitor and investigate Ivan Vanko for several months, and Nick Fury still believed Agent Hill's conclusion.
It seemed he had misunderstood before, or perhaps Satan's record was unclear.
The technology of Stark mentioned by the other party should refer to the Arc Reactor, not the complete Iron Man Armor.
If that's the case…
"Initiate an arrest operation against Ivan Vanko!"
Nick Fury immediately issued such an order to Agent Hill.
Although Ivan Vanko had not yet acted against Stark, Agent Hill had already confirmed that the other party was planning an attack.
Moreover, the other party was an illegal immigrant who had smuggled in from the Soviet Union, so Nick Fury naturally had no reason to be polite.
In fact, if he weren't waiting for Ivan Vanko's technological achievements, Nick Fury would have acted long ago.
"Understood, Officer!"
Agent Hill responded and quickly turned to leave.
Her "understood" was a true understanding.
This operation was not just a simple arrest, but a technological plunder.
Her Officer would not rest until Ivan Vanko's technology was in their hands.
Although an exoskeleton device was much inferior to Iron Man Armor, that was only when compared to Iron Man Armor.
Looking at this technology alone, it actually possessed immense value.
Nick Fury naturally wouldn't miss out on it.
"Nick is going to arrest Ivan Vanko?"
"Very good, has he finally lost his patience?"
In the top-floor office.
Nick Fury's superior, Pierce, naturally received this news immediately.
However, Pierce did not decide to interfere.
It was for the same reason.
If HYDRA interfered easily, it would expose the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. had more HYDRA spies.
The incompetent Stern had already exposed HYDRA's existence a while ago, and Nick Fury must have found out that S.H.I.E.L.D. had HYDRA undercover Agents.
Considering all these circumstances, Pierce naturally became even more hesitant to act rashly.
Anyway, there were so many HYDRA people in S.H.I.E.L.D., and any S.H.I.E.L.D. operation could not bypass HYDRA's hand.
So let Nick Fury do whatever he wanted.
After all, if Nick Fury achieved results, wouldn't that mean HYDRA also achieved results?
Therefore, regarding this arrest, HYDRA would not only take no measures but would even welcome it!
Under such circumstances, Agent Hill's arrest operation was undoubtedly very, very smooth.
Under her personal leadership, a group of heavily armed Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. burst into Ivan Vanko's residence and surrounded him before he even had time to react.
Bang!
Ivan Vanko, in his sleep, was awakened by the dull sound of the door breaking.
He had just gotten out of bed, and before he even had time to put on his clothes, he saw himself being pointed at by several guns.
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Whoever you're looking for, I can assure you it's definitely not me."
Ivan Vanko was no ordinary person; although he was held at gunpoint by so many guns, he remained calm in the face of danger.
He immediately raised his hands to avoid being shot by the law enforcement Officers of this free country, and at the same time, he tried to open his mouth to negotiate.
Of course, his brain was also rapidly spinning, concentrating on what he had done recently that could have caused such big trouble.
But no matter how much he thought about it, Ivan Vanko simply couldn't figure it out.
Indeed.
He had indeed engaged in illegal arms trafficking in the Soviet Union before, but after coming to America, he had been much more low-key.
There should have been no handle on him at all.
Why was he targeted by law enforcement?
And which department were these guys in front of him from?
Neither the FBI nor the CIA, and certainly not the police department, nor any department in Ivan Vanko's impression.
???
So what exactly was going on with all this?
Ivan Vanko's mind was really a bit chaotic.
"We have enough evidence to prove that you are a spy from the Soviet Union!"
"You are under arrest!"
Amidst the encirclement of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Hill swaggered to the forefront and mercilessly pronounced judgment on Ivan Vanko.
A spy?
What the hell!
Ivan Vanko felt more wronged than Dou E.
Although he was indeed not a good person, he was really not a spy!
Whoosh!
As Agent Hill waved her hand, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. stopped talking nonsense and immediately stepped forward to arrest Ivan Vanko.
"A spy?"
"You must be mistaken, I am not a spy at all!"
"How can you say that?!"
Ivan Vanko struggled wildly, roaring out loud.
"You are a spy sent by the Soviet Union to steal Stark's technology. Do you really think we wouldn't find you?"
"Take him away!"
Agent Hill coldly dropped these words and stopped wasting time with Ivan Vanko, striding out briskly.
Me, stealing Stark's technology?
Ivan Vanko was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood; that was his father's technology, alright!
It was clearly the Stark family, that family of thieves, who stole their technology!
We can't just twist facts like this.
"I understand, this is a conspiracy!"
"You're Stark's people, aren't you?"
"Bastard, that bastard!"
Ivan Vanko roared and accused repeatedly.
However, it was a pity that Ivan Vanko could do nothing but this impotent rage.
He could only be taken to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s black room, utterly unwilling but powerless to resist.
What awaited him was endless "extraction."
"Officer, everything has been handled properly."
"Our 'spy' has been taken into custody."
Nick Fury in the office received this news immediately.
Nick Fury remained calm on the surface, but inwardly, he felt a surge of excitement; this was good news!
Although Whiplash's technology was not as good as Stark's Iron Man Armor, Nick Fury actually valued it highly.
Now, it was finally in his hands!
"Understood. From now on, I'll take over."
Waving his hand to dismiss Agent Hill, Nick Fury fell into deep thought.
Whiplash's technology must be kept in his own hands and not fall into the hands of those HYDRA undercover Agents!
Fortunately, Nick Fury had already made preparations before arresting Ivan Vanko.
After Agent Hill left, Nick Fury wasted no time and contacted his private channels outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. again.
He intended to extract all of Ivan Vanko's technology cleanly!
Nick Fury had long prepared for this matter, and everything was naturally proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Officer, Captain is about to wake up!"
And after dealing with this matter, Nick Fury received another piece of news that he was highly concerned about.
Captain is about to wake up?
Nick Fury's heart stirred, and he wasted no time, standing up directly.
"Watch Captain, I'm coming over now."
Nick Fury issued this order to the Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the other end of the line and then started driving.
However, what Nick Fury didn't know was.
While he was still on the way, Captain America on the hospital bed had slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that came into view was a "single room" that looked very exquisite and comfortable.
Especially the bed he was on; it was incredibly soft. Captain America felt like he hadn't slept in such a soft place for a long time.
It felt like he could just sink into the ground.
"A curveball flies past the batter, and the Dodgers tie the score at four to four."
"Everyone knows he can end this game with just one swing of the bat."
At the same time, a radio on a cabinet nearby was broadcasting a baseball game commentary.
???
I actually… didn't die?
Captain America, who had gotten out of bed, showed a hint of confusion on his face.
It seemed his life was indeed tough; he was actually rescued. By the way, how did Peggy and the others find him?
Also, where was this place?
Captain America subconsciously began to survey the room.
And very quickly.
He noticed something was off.
