"Tony Stark, we finally meet. You really resemble your Father, but your temperaments are completely different."
"Who are you? You know my Father?"
Seeing a Black man suddenly rush in and say he knew his Father, Tony couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
After all, in his Father's era, racial discrimination was still quite severe, and his Father's status was extraordinary. There weren't many White people who could claim a connection to him, let alone Black people.
So, he subconsciously felt that the Nick Fury in front of him was bragging.
"I am Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What is S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Our full name is the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, a special unit specifically for handling various strange events."
Just then, Coulson also walked in and explained with a calm expression.
Seeing Coulson, the White man, come out to explain, Tony Stark nodded silently, feeling that their words had a little credibility.
But a moment later, he frowned again, looking at Coulson with a puzzled expression, "Strange events? What are you referring to?"
"A Silver-haired woman whose flying speed crushes your batplane, whose computing power crushes your artificial intelligence, and who easily hacked into your Iron Man Armor.
She also almost made you fall to your death from high altitude, and then beat you senseless in close combat. Is that strange enough?"
Just then, Nick Fury looked at Tony Stark without politeness and said, not giving Tony any face at all.
"!!!!"
"Damn it, shut up! You were monitoring me!?"
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Tony Stark felt a bit exposed.
Everything he had experienced was annoying enough, and this Black Egg in front of him was actually rubbing salt in his wounds in person.
He was hitting where it hurt!
"Mr. Stark, please don't misunderstand. We weren't monitoring you. It's just that the commotion you caused when testing the Iron Man Armor earlier was too big.
Do you remember you even shot down two Military fighter jets? Then the Military reported this information to us.
We were just investigating on their behalf, and that's how we used the Sky Eye system to monitor some of your actions. It was just a coincidence."
Coulson quickly explained.
"Coincidence? Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?" Tony frowned, looking very unhappy.
As the Chairman of Stark Group, the most influential scientific genius in the United States, he valued his reputation greatly.
Now that his embarrassing moments had been seen by these strangers in front of him, it would be strange if he was in a good mood.
"Believe it or not, I don't care how you speculate about us. You just need to know that the purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence is to protect the peace of this land.
Therefore, everything that could potentially threaten World security must be controlled and kept within a relatively safe range!"
"So, what does that have to do with me?"
Seeing Nick Fury's arrogant look, as if he was looking down on everything and showing off, Tony shrugged, becoming even more displeased.
You know, showing off was his specialty. Before this, no one dared to show off in front of him because no one could outdo him.
Of course, Lauren was an exception. After all, the other party had the title of Young Master Morgan, which was simply the ultimate cheat, incomparable in any way.
However, one thing he was still very relieved about was that Lauren could only rely on his Father.
But he was different. Not only was his Father amazing, but he himself was even more amazing. The title of scientific genius was not undeserved!
"It used to have nothing to do with you, but now it does."
Nick Fury stared at Tony Stark with a stern face, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionability.
"What do you mean?" Tony frowned, a hint of confusion on his face.
"It's simple. The Iron Man Armor you built has infinite potential, which is very helpful in combating those evil forces, so I hope you can join us and become a member of the Avengers." Nick Fury had been building up to this sentence for so long.
"Avengers? What the hell is that?"
"It's the strongest organization I'm forming to fight against evil forces, and those chosen to join the Avengers are people like you who have special talents, because only people like you can bear this heavy responsibility." Nick Fury explained.
"I think I understand. You want me to be your free labor!
Sorry, I'm not interested.
Because I can fight the so-called evil forces you mentioned by myself, I don't need to join any organization."
"If you could really do it yourself, you wouldn't be here with me now.
It's only been one night. Have you forgotten how miserably you were beaten by that Silver-haired woman last night?"
"...." Tony.
"You shut up, you damn one-eyed man. If you can't talk properly, I can help you sew your mouth shut.
My business is none of yours. That damn Silver-haired woman, I will settle the score with her.
Her combat pattern has been recorded and analyzed by my artificial intelligence.
The next time I encounter her, I will definitely beat her until she's looking for her teeth all over the place!"
After Nick Fury repeatedly rubbed salt in his wounds, even with Tony Stark's good upbringing, he couldn't help but curse.
"Since you've recorded and analyzed her combat pattern, you should have won last night.
Instead of being abused by her and almost losing your life, you should be glad she went easy on you, otherwise you would already be dead."
Just then, Natasha, who was standing aside, spoke up very impolitely, pouring another bucket of cold water on Tony.
"..."
Listening to their words, Tony had never felt as frustrated as he did now. He was being undermined again and again.
The key was that he couldn't refute it, because it was indeed the truth!
"All of you shut up, I don't want to listen to you anymore. No matter what you say, I won't join you."
"Is that so? Don't you want to know where that Silver-haired woman came from?"
Seeing that Tony Stark was planning to leave the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base, Nick Fury suddenly spoke.
Then he gave Natasha a look, and Natasha immediately nodded in understanding.
Afterward, she threw three glass-ball-like objects onto the ground.
Immediately, a holographic image appeared in front of Tony Stark.
The intelligence shown in the image was the latest information they had investigated regarding Miss 2b and Lauren.
"Lauren!? How is this possible? Did he cause all of this?"
"How about it? Are you surprised? If you join us, we have more intelligence and resources to share with you.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, your Father - Howard Stark - was also a member of our S.H.I.E.L.D., and an elder."
Nick Fury patted Tony Stark's shoulder and said meaningfully.
"!!!!" Tony.
Just then, Barton quickly walked into the room.
"Sir, a frozen man has been found in the ice of the Arctic Ocean."
"!!!"
"After all these years, have we finally found him!"
