Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Trading Vibranium, Money is Hot!

The method Noah thought of to deal with Vibranium was to find S.H.I.E.L.D. and ask Nick Fury to help him, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. has many connections, and dealing with Vibranium should be very easy, or Nick Fury might even buy all the Vibranium himself.

"Lissandra, please call Agent Coulson for me."

"Okay, Noah." Lissandra flew to Noah's side and contacted Coulson.

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson's phone rang while he was organizing mission files. After placing the files on the table, Coulson took out his phone and saw that it was Noah calling. Coulson immediately answered the call.

"Noah, is there anything you need help with?" Coulson asked.

"Yes, Coulson, I do need a small favor from you. Can you give the phone to Nick Fury?" Noah said.

"You want to speak with Director Fury? Is it something important?" Coulson asked, puzzled.

"Hmm, it's about the future." Noah said. To ask Nick Fury for help, he had to give him a taste of something sweet and then some breaking news.

"Okay." Coulson, hearing that word, said no more and quickly walked into Nick Fury's office. After knocking once, he didn't wait for Nick Fury's response and quickly opened the door, went in, and then closed the door.

"Coulson, is there something important?" Nick Fury asked, seeing Coulson's hurried appearance.

"Director Fury, it's Noah on the phone. He said he wants to talk to you about something concerning the future." Coulson held up his phone to Nick Fury.

"Oh? Give it to me." Hearing about the future, Nick Fury became interested.

"Noah, have you seen the future from that mysterious organization?" Nick Fury asked directly. Ever since he learned from Noah that there was an internal spy in S.H.I.E.L.D., he had been in a state of anxiety every day. With his personality, he would not allow such an unknown threat to exist under his nose.

"Don't rush, you help me with a favor first, and then I'll tell you the information you want." Noah said.

"A favor? Then tell me what you need me to help you with." Nick Fury said. Hearing that Noah needed his help, he was also very curious about what the other party wanted to do.

"Have you heard of Vibranium? I have some Vibranium here, and I need you to help me convert it into cash." Noah stated the matter he needed their help with.

"Vibranium?" Nick Fury certainly knew about this rare metal. Captain America's shield was made by Howard Stark, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., by fusing Vibranium with other metals. S.H.I.E.L.D. had been searching for this rare metal for years, but it was too rare, and they hadn't found much. He didn't expect Noah to say he had Vibranium. Could it be given by the mysterious organization behind him?

"How much Vibranium do you have?" Nick Fury asked. He wondered how wealthy the organization behind the other party was, to not use Vibranium themselves but to sell it.

"I have about... 100 kilograms of Vibranium." Noah planned to sell one kilogram of Vibranium first. Reporting too much might scare S.H.I.E.L.D. According to the Marvel setting, one gram of Vibranium is $10,000, so 100 kilograms of Vibranium would be $1 billion, which should be enough for now.

"100 kilograms?!" This number still surprised Nick Fury. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't produce much of the valuable Vibranium, and the other party immediately mentioned 100 kilograms. Moreover, Noah being able to sell Vibranium indicated that he had more than 100 kilograms of Vibranium, or that Noah or the mysterious organization behind him possessed even larger Vibranium reserves.

After a moment of thought, Nick Fury made up his mind and said to Noah: "Your 100 kilograms of Vibranium can be sold directly to S.H.I.E.L.D. We will purchase it at the market price of Vibranium, $10,000 per gram."

This Vibranium certainly had to go into Nick Fury's hands. After all, with such an important material, and with uncertain factors within S.H.I.E.L.D., it was definitely better for him to keep it himself. Of course, the funds would still come from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget.

"That's fine." Noah had no objection. For him, it was all the same who he sold it to, as long as he got the money.

"Coulson, you will be responsible for this transaction." Nick Fury said to Coulson, and instructed him on some precautions to prevent internal spies. Coulson nodded in understanding.

"Understood, Director Fury." After receiving the mission, Coulson immediately took the necessary items and headed to Noah's location.

"Alright, Noah, now can you please tell me about the future? What else have you seen?" Nick Fury asked Noah after Coulson left. He still highly valued matters concerning the future. If he could know about future events in advance, he could prepare for those crises beforehand.

"Okay, in the future I've seen recently, I saw that man."

"That man? Who is it?"

"Captain America, I saw him in the future."

"Captain America? Are you talking about the war hero Captain America Steve Rogers?" Nick Fury asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's him. I saw him in the future. Someone found him under the ice in the Arctic Ocean." Noah said, though he only knew that Captain America was under the ice in the Arctic Ocean.

"Where exactly is it?"

"I'm not too sure about that. It should be in a glacier near Alaska." Noah stated he was unsure.

"I understand. Is there any other information regarding what you mentioned last time?" Nick Fury asked after a moment of contemplation.

"Not for now. Why are you in such a hurry? If something big happens, can't you just call back your secret weapon? Wouldn't that solve everything?" Noah replied. As long as Nick Fury called Captain Marvel back, those HYDRA people wouldn't be enough to fight her.

Hearing Noah's words, Nick Fury's face darkened, and then he said to Noah: "Some things we need to accomplish ourselves to walk on the right path."

Nick Fury had also thought about contacting Captain Marvel. His pager for calling Captain Marvel allowed typing, but Captain Marvel felt that Nick Fury could handle some things and didn't need her to return, as she was busy maintaining peace in the Universe.

Next, Nick Fury and Noah chatted idly, taking the opportunity to inquire about the mysterious organization behind Noah. Noah casually talked about some background stories from League of Legends to fool Nick Fury, which left Nick Fury stunned. Ten minutes later, Noah's doorbell rang; it was Coulson.

"Coulson, good afternoon." "Noah, good afternoon."

Noah opened the door and nodded a greeting to Coulson, who also nodded in response. Then the two returned to Noah's living room.

"What is this?!" Upon entering the living room, Coulson was a bit surprised to see Lissandra floating in mid-air.

"Coulson? What happened?" Lissandra was still connected to Nick Fury's call, and Nick Fury also heard Coulson's voice, asking in confusion.

"This is my artificial intelligence, don't make a fuss." Noah said.

"Hello, Agent Coulson." Lissandra also greeted Coulson at this moment.

"What? You actually have artificial intelligence? How did I not know?" Coulson said. He had already investigated all of Noah's information over the years, and the data didn't mention him being a super genius who could develop AI himself. Unless someone else gave it to Noah, who could it be? Iron Man? Or that mysterious organization behind Noah?

"There's a lot you don't know. Wait here, I'm going in to get the Vibranium."

Coulson could only put aside his doubts for now and sat on the sofa, watching the floating Lissandra. Meanwhile, Nick Fury, far away at S.H.I.E.L.D., also learned about Noah having artificial intelligence through Coulson's conversation. He was now also thinking about where Noah obtained his artificial intelligence. If it was indeed from that mysterious organization, then his judgment and assessment of that mysterious organization's strength would need to be re-evaluated.

After Coulson sat down, Noah told him he was going into the room to get some Vibranium, then walked to a place where the other party couldn't see him, and took out 100 kilograms of Vibranium from his system backpack. The Vibranium Noah took out was set to be in the form of metal ingots.

A 100kg Vibranium ingot, its volume was not small.

After taking out the Vibranium, Noah returned to the living room, waved the Vibranium in his hand at the seated Coulson, and said, "Coulson, this is the Vibranium."

Noah said, walking in front of Coulson and handing him the Vibranium ingot. Coulson subconsciously reached out to catch it, but the 100kg weight was not something he could hold. The immense weight directly caused his hands, holding the Vibranium, to drop. Then, by reflex, Coulson let go to prevent his hands from being crushed to the ground.

If such a heavy metal ingot were to fall to the ground, the living room floor would surely be smashed through. However, just as the Vibranium ingot was about to land, a hand reached out from the side and caught it.

"Agent Coulson, why are you so weak? You can't even hold this little thing." Noah said, tossing the Vibranium ingot in his hand.

Coulson's eyebrows twitched a few times. He watched the extremely heavy Vibranium in Noah's hand as if it were foam, and he felt it was a bit incredible.

"It would be the same for anyone, Noah. Just put the Vibranium here." Coulson pulled a suitcase from behind him, opened it, and motioned for Noah to put the Vibranium ingot inside. This suitcase was specially made, with extraordinary confidentiality and defensive capabilities, and most importantly, it had wheels underneath, so Coulson could pull it.

Noah shrugged and placed the Vibranium ingot into the opened suitcase. Coulson knelt down and examined the Vibranium ingot. After a while, Coulson said to Noah: "Okay, as for the money, Director Fury will transfer it to you. If you need any help with anything, you can find me again."

Coulson packed the Vibranium into the black suitcase he brought and then quickly left.

After getting the Vibranium, Coulson immediately returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. He couldn't determine if this metal was Vibranium himself; he needed to have it tested at the agency to confirm. However, Coulson believed Noah wouldn't deceive S.H.I.E.L.D. on such a matter.

"Director Fury, Coulson has already brought the Vibranium back. You can transfer the money to me now. You should know my card number, right?" After Coulson left, Noah returned to his seat and said to Nick Fury.

"The money has already been transferred to you. And now, Noah, would it be convenient for you to tell me about your artificial intelligence?" Nick Fury transferred a billion U.S. dollars after Coulson left. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operating funds were quite ample. After that, he began to probe about the artificial intelligence.

"Artificial intelligence? Lissandra, give our Director Fury a little show."

"No problem."

"What?"

Just as Nick Fury was puzzled, he saw his phone suddenly display garbled characters, and then the screen changed to a video call, with Noah greeting him from the other side.

"What did you do?" Nick Fury asked.

"Nothing much, just breached S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defenses and hacked into your phone, that's all. By the way, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network security seems to need an upgrade. Lissandra said it was very easy to break through your network defenses." Noah said with a smile to Nick Fury, whose face had darkened even more. Seeing no response from Nick Fury, Noah didn't continue, fearing that if he said more, the other party might blurt out 'motherfucker'.

"If I say I developed it myself, you probably wouldn't believe it. Just assume it was given by the organization behind me." Noah said.

"If you see anything new about the future, I hope you can tell me. That's all for today... Quickly tell your artificial intelligence to hang up the phone." After hearing what Noah said, Nick Fury wanted to end the conversation. He clicked to hang up, but there was no response, so he said another word to Noah with a darkened face.

As Noah suppressed his laughter, Lissandra turned off the video.

"Lissandra, check my bank balance."

On Lissandra's display, Noah saw the number of his bank deposit. He had never seen so many zeros in both his lives. Although he had so much Vibranium and could be considered the richest person in the world, seeing so many zeros still made him very excited.

"Lissandra, we're rich!"
