Mr. Harvey Anberaka, I apologize. It's my fault that I failed to convey your dislike for S.H.I.E.L.D. to my colleagues earlier."
"I humbly request that you give us another chance."
Coulson said cautiously, hands raised, and unconsciously, he had begun using an honorific.
Earlier, when he spoke with Harvey Anberaka, the latter had expressed his aversion to S.H.I.E.L.D.
It also made him understand that whether Harvey Anberaka had superpowers or not, he had no intention of joining the Avengers.
At the time, he was also very displeased, so he chose not to report it back to S.H.I.E.L.D., but now, looking back, he should have.
If Officer Fury had known in advance, he might not have been so upset when he was scolded just now, and it wouldn't have escalated into the current disaster.
"You are smarter; you didn't point a gun at me just now."
"However, you should understand that such minor cleverness alone does not give you the capital to negotiate with me,"
Harvey glanced at the gun still on Coulson's waist, somewhat surprised, but his expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently.
"I know, so this is a request. I beg you, My Lord, to be magnanimous and give us another chance."
"Please spare Agent Natasha. She is severely injured and on the verge of Death; she has already paid the price for her offense against you."
"We will absolutely never offend you again in the future. I guarantee this with my head."
Coulson quickly shook his head, humbly making requests, pleas, and guarantees.
"Harvey Anberaka, I also beg you, please don't cause any Deaths here."
Tony Stark also spoke at this moment, his words carrying a hint of negotiation.
He didn't know if his persuasion would be effective against the clearly angered Harvey Anberaka.
However, if Deaths occurred at his place, it would bring some trouble later.
"Coulson, I don't want your head, but if there's a next time, and anyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to attack me."
"You will bring me the head of the person who tried to attack me."
"Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Harvey glanced at Tony Stark, then looked at Coulson and said indifferently.
"Absolutely."
Coulson felt the killing intent in Harvey's words, his eyes trembled, and he quickly nodded.
"I'm only giving you this one chance."
"Nick Fury, I know your reliance."
"You don't need to hope to bring Captain Marvel back to help you."
"That woman cannot help you, nor can she do anything to me."
Harvey stood up and looked at Nick Fury, warning him.
"..."
Nick Fury's eyes narrowed when Harvey mentioned that woman.
The scene just now had made him realize that human military power might not be able to do anything to this demon-like Harvey Anberaka.
Nick Fury had already entertained the idea of calling Captain Marvel for help once he was out of danger.
Because Harvey Anberaka was a very unstable factor for Earth.
Especially since this unstable factor was very much at odds with S.H.I.E.L.D., he had to find a way to eliminate this factor.
However, when Nick Fury heard Harvey Anberaka not only mention that woman but also directly mention Captain Marvel's name.
This immediately made all of Nick Fury's thoughts and plans vanish into thin air.
"Thank you, Mr. Harvey Anberaka, for your benevolence."
Coulson, emboldened, went behind Harvey Anberaka, picked up Natasha, and said gratefully.
Tony Stark, seeing Coulson's actions, also felt some admiration; Coulson truly had guts.
In such a situation, he dared to approach Harvey Anberaka voluntarily.
"This is your only chance. If there's a next time, you should know what to do."
Harvey glanced at Natasha, who was looking at him with fear, then looked at Coulson and spoke.
"I've remembered it. Even if I forget everything else, I won't forget this."
Coulson nodded seriously upon hearing this.
Actually, Coulson had intended to come alone when bringing Howard's belongings this time.
Although Harvey Anberaka had threatened them, he had talked with Harvey Anberaka in detail once.
So Coulson clearly knew that while Harvey Anberaka disliked them, it wasn't to the point of acting against them.
Not to mention the possibility of Harvey Anberaka possessing superpowers.
If Harvey Anberaka truly intended to hire mercenaries from the dark web to deal with them, he wouldn't need to say it directly; he could do it secretly.
By then, they might not even have a chance to investigate.
However, during the video communication just now, Harvey Anberaka specifically stated it, which was clearly a warning.
As long as they didn't provoke Harvey Anberaka again, they would remain separate, like well water and river water.
It was just that Officer Fury felt that Harvey Anberaka, an Asian wealthy man without superpowers, was acting too arrogantly.
He felt that while coming to see Tony Stark, it was necessary to warn Harvey Anberaka as well, so they brought many people along.
As a result, the situation escalated into a terrifying scenario where they almost all died there.
"Get out."
Harvey scanned Nick Fury and the other Agents, saying coldly.
After being told they could leave, Coulson, holding Natasha, Nick Fury, and the other Agents all scurried away.
They didn't even dare to insist on monitoring Tony Stark's research on the notes.
"I'll continue eating; you can start your research."
The chill on Harvey's face melted like winter snow, and he spoke.
"Harvey Anberaka, was that Captain Marvel you mentioned just now very strong?"
Tony Stark pondered for a moment, then asked somewhat gossipy.
"Yes, very strong."
Harvey replied while eating.
"Stronger than you?"
Tony Stark's gossip fire burned brightly when he heard Harvey praise a woman as very strong almost without hesitation.
"Though I don't want to admit it, she is indeed stronger than me right now."
Harvey nodded again.
"Jarvis, have they left?"
Tony Stark's mouth dropped open, and he quickly asked.
"The woman named Natasha is severely injured, so they moved very quickly."
Jarvis projected the image, showing the helicopter outside beginning to rotate.
"Fortunately, was Harvey Anberaka just trying to scare them?"
Tony Stark saw the projection, and knowing that the other party couldn't eavesdrop anymore, he felt somewhat relieved and continued to ask.
"It's a fact that Captain Marvel is stronger than me now, but it's also a fact that she can't do anything to me."
Harvey found Tony Stark's fear of Nick Fury overhearing quite amusing and spoke.
Captain Marvel is powerful, but her abilities are relatively singular. As long as he retreats into the void, Captain Marvel can never find him.
So, Harvey at most respects Captain Marvel; he doesn't fear her.
Compared to Captain Marvel, who has powerful but singular abilities, Odin and the Ancient One might be more likely to bring him more trouble.
Asgard has Gods who can directly monitor the Nine Realms and can overlook Earth at any time. If provoked, it would bring him great trouble.
The Ancient One can directly see through the past and future and controls various strange magic.
Therefore, until his strength reaches a certain level, Harvey does not want to confront King Odin or the Ancient One.
"Although I don't quite understand, it's good as long as you are confident in protecting yourself."
Tony Stark also felt relieved and spoke.
Harvey saw Tony Stark's stance of being on his side and said nothing.
