Chapter 47: Judgment
Ted's words easily piqued Lu Chen's interest.
Lu Chen followed up on Ted's words, saying, "Tell me more!"
"Due to our profession, we all have some unique characteristics. Others might be one thing, but whether someone is like us, we have a good grasp. Based on our first impression, they are a group of our peers, and, perhaps, just like us before, their target is directly you!" Ted glanced at Lu Chen and spoke again.
A mutual appreciation among those of the same profession?
Or perhaps, they understood their own profession too well and immediately smelled the scent of their own kind?
Well, no matter which one, Lu Chen had to admit that these subordinates could perhaps be described with more words.
For example, 'not bad'!
"However, what's the deal with these 'peers' you mentioned? Have you figured out who they belong to?"
Lu Chen hadn't caused any secrets recently, had he? Or was it something from before? Had S.H.I.E.L.D. not suppressed the matter?
Lu Chen was very curious about this!
At the same time, Lu Chen looked at Ted, with more consideration in his eyes.
Ted also noticed the consideration in Lu Chen's eyes and said seriously, "We haven't figured out the specifics, but we carefully investigated once, and their style is a bit like our old rivals!"
Old rivals?
Lu Chen was a little puzzled.
"Can they just act freely here too?"
"That homeland… that is, the organization of the person you contacted, they're having quite a fierce conflict with them abroad. If there's a chance to find the other party's weakness, they won't mind intervening in violation of rules, just like us!"
Alright!
S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed very unpopular!
No wonder after Fury, wherever Coulson went, there were all sorts of confrontations, not a bit of help.
However, it's not good if this involves me, is it?
Seemingly guessing Lu Chen would think this, Ted said to Lu Chen, "I don't know anything extra, but I do know that you've probably been dragged into a whirlpool!"
"Oh?" Lu Chen showed an interested expression.
Ted began to explain!
Lu Chen also roughly figured out the reason why Nick Fury, that stingy, miserly, and very suspicious guy, would suddenly change his attitude; it wasn't for anything else, but simply because someone was causing trouble behind the scenes.
He had no choice!
"Last time, your battle with those who attacked you also became a basis. S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently in a lot of trouble. My superior is also having me try to contact you to see your situation. If you're useless, so be it, but if you're useful, he wants you to do more things!" Ted said.
There was really a lot of maneuvering behind the scenes!
Lu Chen now believed that those people were also largely here for this purpose.
In their eyes, Lu Chen might not be important; what was important was whether they could cause more trouble for S.H.I.E.L.D.!
This feeling of not being taken seriously… was quite nice!
Sometimes, being too high-profile isn't a good thing; a lot of trouble will come directly. How could it be as leisurely as it is now?
Getting off-topic!
Ted based his conclusions on this.
He felt that the other party might also be here for this matter, and it might truly be as Ted said, Lu Chen had been drawn into a whirlpool.
Not being taken seriously, that's unlikely!
"So, you're also planning to deal with them?"
"I don't think they should bother you, and they've prepared a lot of things!" Ted said, bracing himself.
At that time, when they investigated, they found that the other party had prepared many weapons, clearly intending to act against Lu Chen.
For some reason, he and the other two immediately had this idea, and then they followed through, eventually leading to the current situation.
"That's a good idea!"
Lu Chen wasn't angry; instead, he nodded in agreement.
Acting on one's own initiative also depended on the situation.
Besides, he wasn't really acting on his own initiative!
Lu Chen knew that the reason he and his two companions suddenly had such thoughts was entirely because the mental power algorithm was at work; they were loyal to Lu Chen and were eliminating targets that could pose a threat to Lu Chen.
There was no problem saying this wasn't acting on his own initiative; it was all set up by Lu Chen.
Ted didn't know all the intricacies. Listening to Lu Chen, he simply let out a sincere sigh of relief, and a feeling of joy couldn't help but well up in his heart.
It was as if a pet had been praised by its Master.
"Master, should we still deal with them?" Ted asked.
"No need, I just finished developing something. Leave it to me. I'll just use them for an experiment!"
Smiling with interest, Lu Chen turned around and suddenly said to the virtual projection in front of him, "Activate Judgment!"
As Lu Chen's voice fell, under Ted's gaze, the five individuals in the virtual projection began to continuously enlarge in front of Lu Chen, while everyone else and everything else, including his two companions, began to shrink and disappear.
Before long, only the five individuals in various poses remained in front of Lu Chen.
And at this moment, Lu Chen spoke again.
"Mode one, Thunder and Lightning!"
As Lu Chen's voice fell, Ted saw a small cloud appear above the heads of the five virtual projections in front of him, constantly rolling and emitting electric sparks.
The five individuals seemed to be startled; their virtual projections all sprang up, looking vigilantly at the cloud above their heads.
Then, after less than a second of hesitation and reaction, everyone simultaneously ran into the distance.
It was also at this moment that the cloud above the heads of the five virtual projections suddenly erupted with five flashes of lightning, arriving above the five individuals in a flash, striking them precisely on their foreheads at a speed they couldn't react to.
