"Because of the sudden collapse of the former Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, and the changes in the world pattern, the complex and extremely large intelligence departments within that country lost their mission and resources. In order to survive in death, they had to seek dangerous 'transformation' in their confusion about the future."

"Including the Red House, the Red Scorpion and even the mysterious 'Leviathan', etc., they are all changing their positioning and starting to get rid of the stereotypes of the state machine. These intelligence organizations that originally served the state have begun to give birth to their own ideas. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad. But it is certain that this is an excellent opportunity for us."

A smile flashed across Fury's dark face, and he said:

"For Natasha's recruitment, it's just an attempt. In the next few years, there will be many such actions. Just like the "paper clip" action led by Ms. Page Carter at the end of World War II, our predecessors used the power of Germany to strengthen themselves. Now, what we have to do is to do it again according to their ideas!"

Nick Fury stood up and said to Patton beside him:

"Barton, I'll have another thing to ask you for it."

"Merlin is an absolute newcomer. He has some special powers and can help a lot. But he is a rookie, impulsive, reckless, and has all the characteristics that a rookie should have. All his understanding of the agent profession comes from 6 months of agent training, and he still has a lot to learn."

"I'm not as bad as you said, Fury."

Merlin retorted with some dissatisfaction:

"You are embarrassing me in front of my new friend."

Fury ignored Merlin's complaints. He looked at Merlin very seriously and said:

"Barton is the agent I recruited by myself and the best agent I have ever met. Merlin, I hope you can obey Patton's teachings and work together to complete this recruitment mission."

As he spoke, Fury looked at the time and said to the two people in front of him:

"After 30 minutes, the flight arrived at the designated location. Sokovia has been in chaos recently, and all flights have been grounded and are under air control. We cannot just enter there with such a big swagger."

"Then how do we get over?"

Merlin asked, Fury pointed at his feet, a strange smile flashed across his face, and he said:

"By the boat! There is a cargo ship waiting for you on the high seas. After 3 days, we will meet in Sokovia."

"Don't you go with us?"

Merlin asked again, and Fury took out an identification certificate from his pocket and shook it in front of Merlin. He said:

"My identity is an officer at the U.S. Embassy in Sokovia. He enjoys diplomatic immunity and has a special flight to take me to the embassy. Merlin, have you forgotten what you have learned as soon as you left the Agent School? Article 7 of the Agent Code!"

"You must have a trump card at any time"

Merlin answered subconsciously, and Fury shrugged:

"I will contact Natasha again through official channels. It would be best if I can convince her to join us, but if I fail, then you guys who are hiding in the dark."

"It's my trump card!"

Merlin suddenly realized, and he said:

“Just like fishing”

Fury smiled and patted Merlin on the shoulder:

"You are right, both light and dark, and you are prepared with both hands, just like fishing."

Thirty minutes later, the small plane in the night was hovering on the high seas. The door of the aircraft cabin was opened. Merlin, who was carrying a parachute, stood at the entrance of the cabin, and he looked at the vast sea below.

The cold wind blew on his face, and he looked back at Fury. Fury, who had already changed into a military uniform, was waving goodbye to him in a friendly manner. But Hawkeye Patton, who was also carrying a parachute, looked at him calmly.

A hunting game between the same kind is about to begin, and this will be the first "hunting" of the cub Merlin.

He was a little nervous and excited. The memories of the past were still disturbing him, but Merlin knew that he should continue to move forward. From here, he entered his new life. Maybe the road ahead is dark, but it must be very exciting.

The next second, he took a deep breath, rushed forward, and jumped down from the plane.

It's like a raven spreading its wings.

Merlin Riley tonight!
