"Me, a cosmic intelligence dealer?" Michael pointed at himself, then looked at Phil Coulson, his face bewildered.
Although, he did look a lot like those intelligence dealers, did Phil Coulson know that sometimes, speaking the blunt truth could lead to being ambushed? However, it didn't seem like a bad idea to publicly announce such an identity. After all, he had the mutated gem, so it seemed no matter what...
What kind of information? Anything that can be solved with energy isn't a problem at all! But! Thinking of that… intelligence dealer in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1" who sold information but could be threatened by any force, I suddenly felt that this identity seemed very… Ah! No, that won't do! I can't acknowledge this identity! Even if I really do deal in intelligence, I can't be called an intelligence dealer! It must be grand! Imposing! Elevated!
Suddenly, Michael thought that he would soon have a three-million-strong super-powered army.
Michael immediately had an idea.
He was a big shot from a super-powered faction! It seemed he could be a carefree emperor.
Or perhaps, he could be called… Emperor.
Hmm, no, that sounds a bit too common.
Or perhaps, he could be called… Imperial Sovereign.
Haha, that doesn't seem much better.
He thought again about the neutral stance he always wanted to maintain.
It seemed he could be a King of Neutrality.
A neutral, yet super-powerful, imperial sovereign! Yes! He would be called 'Neutral Sovereign'!
Not only powerful in his faction, but even more powerful personally!
"Uh, isn't that the case?"
Phil Coulson smiled awkwardly but gracefully.
"Of course not!"
"Do you think, or do you all think, that I, Archmage Qi Jun, would become an intelligence dealer?"
Michael's disdainful expression made Phil Coulson even more awkward.
However, Nick Fury, who was beside him, narrowed his pupils again and quietly noted down the phrase 'Archmage'!
"You can call me 'Neutral Sovereign'."
Michael glanced at Nick Fury without a trace, said nothing, but smiled profoundly and said.
"You are an Imperial Sovereign?"
Phil Coulson was stunned. He didn't know what 'Neutral Sovereign' represented, but Phil Coulson clearly knew the word 'Imperial Sovereign' and its meaning.
"Why?"
Michael was noncommittal and asked back.
"Not like?"
"No! No! No!"
Phil Coulson was startled and quickly denied it.
"No, I mean you are very much like! No! I mean you are…! Yes, you are… an Imperial Sovereign!"
"May I ask what faction Mr. Michael belongs to?"
Seeing Phil Coulson's frightened look, Nick Fury, as his superior, immediately interjected to save the situation and asked respectfully.
Nick Fury naturally wouldn't think that a mere… Group could make Michael call himself an Imperial Sovereign; instead, upon hearing Michael call himself an Imperial Sovereign, his heart tightened even more.
Just Michael alone was terrifying enough, and Michael actually had an even more terrifying faction under him. What kind of faction could make Michael call himself an Imperial Sovereign? How terrifying would this unknown existence be? Nick Fury only felt his scalp tingling!
He must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today! What kind of things was he encountering!!! A faction that could be ruled by a terrifying existence like Michael probably wouldn't have trouble destroying Earth, right?
Thinking back to before, he had even deluded himself into wanting to capture, or even control, Michael! Nick Fury immediately had a strong urge to bang his head against a wall!
"Don't worry, they are not on Earth!"
Michael naturally knew the probing in Nick Fury's words and didn't play mysterious, telling him directly.
Of course, Michael added in his mind: Hmm, not on Earth for now.
Nick Fury naturally didn't know what Michael was thinking, but after hearing Michael's words, Nick Fury felt even worse!
What did this mean? This meant that Michael possessed a terrifying Universe faction!
Thinking that he could casually buy and sell intelligence about the Kree Empire, one of the top Universe powers, if Michael's subordinates were not a Universe faction, then what would they be?
Gulp!! Nick Fury swallowed with difficulty, almost scared to death by the information he had conjured up.
Such a terrifying person, he wasn't trying to make friends but actually wanted to capture and control him?
Fortunately, there was still a chance to alleviate the situation! Hmm, fortunately, this relationship could be mended!…
"May I ask how much intelligence you know about Earth?"
Nick Fury asked cautiously.
In fact, Nick Fury had already decided that no matter whether… Michael really knew intelligence about Earth or not, he would actively complete this initial 'intelligence transaction'!
It's just things containing energy, right! S.H.I.E.L.D.… didn't lack anything else, but this stuff was absolutely abundant!
"Anything you want! Even the color of the underwear worn by the leaders of the six major rogue nations."
Michael, unaware of Nick Fury's resolve, said nonchalantly.
"Then, do you know what organization poses the greatest threat to S.H.I.E.L.D.…?"
Seeing Michael's relaxed demeanor, Nick Fury also hardened his resolve; no matter what, he would know by trying.
"Hmm?"
Michael's hand, holding the teacup, paused, and he glanced at the determined Nick Fury in surprise.
Did this guy know something?
"Of course I know!"
However, Michael didn't care much, he was just a little surprised.
Would Michael worry about S.H.I.E.L.D.… knowing the inside story in advance and eliminating HYDRA? He certainly wouldn't worry, and he was completely indifferent!
In fact, if HYDRA came to Michael in advance, wanting to know some information to overthrow S.H.I.E.L.D.…, as long as they could afford the price, Michael wouldn't care about the demise of S.H.I.E.L.D.….
What is neutrality? This is neutrality!
In fact, Michael even wanted to quietly leak something to HYDRA…
"May I ask, what price will S.H.I.E.L.D.… have to pay?"
Nick Fury naturally saw Michael's hand pause just now, and he clearly saw Michael's surprised eyes.
However, this made Nick Fury even more convinced in his heart that Michael should know this intelligence, and his heart immediately grew fervent!
This was an opportunity that could easily allow S.H.I.E.L.D.… to strike at its biggest enemy in the dark; regardless of whether it was true or false, Nick Fury didn't want to miss it!
