Chapter 016: Nick Fury's Suspicion
Su Yi originally had two goals: the first was Pepper, and the second was to become a shareholder of Stark Industries.
He hadn't managed to win over Pepper yet, but fortunately, the second task was completed.
Becoming a shareholder of Stark Industries meant he could just lie back and count money when the dividends came in.
"Sure enough, making money isn't for me. I should still find a way to win over Gwen and the others as soon as possible."
[Ding, Host revealed future information and changed Stark's fate!]
"???"
Su Yi had just returned home and was about to take a bath and go to sleep when he heard the system's message.
"Revealing these things can indeed affect Stark's fate."
"System, tally the gains!"
[Iron Man Stark's fate has been changed, gaining 2000 Fate Points!]
[Additionally, gain 1 Lottery Chance!]
Su Yi was very happy to see this Lottery Chance.
In the system's mall, one ordinary Lottery Chance was worth 10,000 Fate Points.
One God-tier Lottery Chance was worth 100 million Fate Points.
"Lottery!"
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the special ability: Danger Sense!]
"Danger Sense, isn't this just Spider-Sense, just with a different name?"
After tallying his gains, Su Yi washed up and fell into a comfortable sleep.
A new day, school as usual.
He could still enjoy the calm for now; Stark hadn't officially announced anything, so all sorts of unsavory characters were still hiding.
Once Stark officially announced he was Iron Man, it probably wouldn't be this peaceful.
At school, Su Yi was still working hard to pursue Gwen and win back Mary Jane.
Stark had also had Pepper contact Coulson, and Coulson naturally agreed.
"Director, Stark proactively contacted me and asked me to go to his Villa."
"Go. You go and investigate, see how he returned?"
Coulson continued, "Director, Stark also said that his father left some things at S.H.I.E.L.D. and asked us to bring them to him."
Nick Fury slightly raised his head, looked at Coulson, and realized something was amiss.
Howard was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., contributing greatly and developing many high-tech devices and weapons.
Logically, Howard's identity should have been highly confidential, and Tony shouldn't have known.
But from today's conversation, Coulson sensed that Tony seemed to know something.
"How did he know these things?"
"I don't know either."
Nick Fury didn't know why such a change occurred, but this matter could not be ignored.
"Coulson, bring the items over and probe him thoroughly. If there's no progress, I'll send others to investigate."
"Yes, Boss!"
Coulson arrived at Tony Stark's Villa with a box of documents, but Stark was a bit busy right now.
He had just returned and needed to research new elements and develop new suits.
There was also Obadiah hiding in the shadows. Tony wanted to prove Obadiah was innocent, but he still had to be wary.
Tony didn't dare to delay for a moment and got up early to work.
He brought back the model of Future City and also had Pepper contact Coulson... Finally, Coulson appeared at Tony Stark's Villa.
At Pepper's summons, Stark paused his tasks and appeared in the living room to receive Coulson.
"Hello, I am Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
Stark sat down nonchalantly, picked up the drink Pepper had prepared, and drank it directly. "That name is too long. Why not just call it S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"That name is indeed much shorter, but I don't have the authority to change names."
Stark went straight to the point, "Did you bring what I asked you to bring?"
"These are the research materials Howard left at S.H.I.E.L.D."
Stark was very pleased and continued to ask, "My parents died years ago, and the conclusion I got was a car accident. Did they really die because of a car accident?"
S.H.I.E.L.D. had a strict hierarchy and even compartmentalized management.
Although Coulson was also a senior Agent, he had not had access to these files.
"I haven't had access to these files, so I can't give you an answer."
"Then, you must have investigated, right?"
Coulson hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "We should have investigated."
"I need to know the truth of the matter."
Coulson was quite helpless; as an Agent, he was completely led by Stark throughout the conversation.
"OK, I can request permission from my superiors."
"If you can cooperate with us and tell us how you and Ethan escaped from the Ten Rings Gang, I think we can quickly reach an agreement."
Stark hesitated, thinking of Su Yi.
However, Stark also had an idea: he would conceal Su Yi's part and only say that the suit he built defeated the Ten Rings Gang.
"We can cooperate, provided you tell me the truth about that matter."
Stark turned and left, returning to his underground workshop to work.
Pepper was also very embarrassed about Su Yi's appearance last night and the bombshell news he brought.
She actually suspected Su Yi's motives, but she had no evidence.
At this moment, Pepper hesitated internally but still chose to help Stark keep it a secret.
"I'm really sorry, Coulson. Tony, he's used to being self-centered."
Coulson had some understanding of Stark and naturally knew these things. "Oh, it's fine."
On the way back, Coulson reported the news to Nick Fury.
The Director immediately realized something was wrong. "I will consider this matter."
After hanging up the phone, the Director immediately pulled up the investigation report on Howard and his wife's Death and saw the information within.
"Howard and his wife were attacked and killed; the culprit was the Winter Soldier."
S.H.I.E.L.D. had been investigating the Winter Soldier for a long time, only knowing that he was very strong and elusive.
Beyond that, there were no clues at all.
They didn't know which country this Winter Soldier was from, nor which faction trained him.
"Tony's problem cannot be ignored either."
"He escaped from heavily guarded kidnappers."
"Now, he also knows that Howard was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, and even suspects the truth about his parents' Deaths."
"It seems he knows something."
Nick Fury, relying on years of experience, felt that these matters were not simple.
Tony's rescue and his knowledge of these secrets must mean someone was behind it all, pushing things forward.
"Coulson's ability is indeed good, but for this matter, Natasha is more suitable."
"Arranging Natasha by Tony's side will surely make it easy to uncover the mastermind."
Thinking of this, Nick Fury could only send a message, asking his ace Agent, Natasha, to complete her mission and return as soon as possible.
