Chapter 498 Director of SHIELD
When Michael entered the door, Nick Fury was already sitting on the sofa for meeting guests in the office. He lowered his head when Michael appeared, looked at his watch, and said, "It's very fast. I thought it would take at least thirty or fifty minutes to get off the space station... You have your own space station, right?"
Michael didn't say anything, but waved his hand gently and signaled Elizabeth to go out. Elizabeth nodded, went out without saying a word, and brought it to the door.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Director Fury." Michael strode to his seat and sat down, clasping his hands together, "As you can see, my schedule has always been stuffed, and you obviously didn't make an appointment in advance. So whatever you want to say, please get into the topic as soon as possible."
Fury sat upright and looked at him with one eye.
"Then let's open the skylight and say it's bright, Mr. Paso," said Fury. "I know your true identity, and I know how much energy you have. No matter how much I am, I've been the spy leader for so many years, and I have some experience. You won't really expect that you can deceive me for the rest of your life with the 'Bill Water' lies, right?"
Michael didn't speak, but just put his chin on the back of his hand and looked at him silently.
"Okay, let me explain it clearly...yes, this is just a guess." Fury sighed, "I admit defeat, okay? I think you are the Black Knight, the actual highest person in charge of the Tianjian Bureau, but I can't find any evidence, it's just a guess. And I'm not interested in exposing your identity now. I just want to talk openly and honestly, it's that simple. I promise that this conversation is absolutely confidential, without eavesdropping, surveillance, and no backup. I am the only one who comes here, I just want to talk."
He paused, then said, "Besides, it's already this point... Do you really need to continue pretending? Michael Paso, this identity itself doesn't mean much to you, right?"
Michael put down his hands and seemed to finally have the intention of opening his mouth.
"If you want to hear this, then congratulations, you are right, Director Fury. I am the Black Knight, and the Sky Sword Bureau is indeed in charge." Michael said lightly, "I believe you have no surveillance or eavesdropping, but even if you do this, it is meaningless. This is my territory, and you can't take anything away from here, Director Fury."
"It's the 'former director'." Fury shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not the director for a long time."
"It doesn't seem to be any difference in my opinion." Michael said, "Even if you are not in this position, you never stop your work, right?" The so-called "Shield Director" seems to me not just a position, a medal. This is a special responsibility. As long as you feel that the responsibility is still on your shoulders, you are still the director."
"If you really think so, that's great," Fury said. "Then I think maybe I can save a lot of effort when I convince you to go to the next person who is in this position."
Michael raised his eyebrows.
"You mean you want me," he pointed to himself, "go to be Chief of SHIELD?"
"That's what I mean," Fury confirmed.
"I thought Stark was already doing this job."
"Stuck is not suitable for this, from the beginning." Fury shook his head, "The guy who wants to let Iron Man be the director's idea is an idiot. He may be a genius, but not a genius in this regard. Stark himself has realized this problem, and he doesn't want to continue working now - this is the same opinion in the White House. They all hope to find a more suitable candidate."
"You did it well before." Michael hugged his arms, "I think you can try to retake your old business."
Fury again rejected: "That's equivalent to we're going back to the starting point. This time, ASUS is different from the past. This time, ASUSUS must be a public institution, an institution that people can trust and trust and trust their own lives with confidence. It is precisely for this consideration that Iron Man serves as the facade, but it is obvious that the effect is not very good."
Fury sighed, stood up and looked out the window.
"The Skrulls' affairs are a complete disaster," he said. "Although objectively you can't blame Stark too much, he is hard to get rid of his responsibility. You also know what kind of sensation caused when ASCHS was found to be covered with Hydra, and the nature of this incident was even more serious. As SCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHSCHS
Speaking of this, his eyes turned back to Michael.
"On the contrary, you, Mr. Paso," he said, "it was you and the Tianjian Bureau that became the last line of defense on the planet. If you were not there, our President would probably have sworn allegiance to the aliens.
Actually, I know very well that this is not the first time. Time and again, you saved this world from the edge of destruction. If you were not in our world, you would have lost many times. You are the last line of defense on the earth, and you have always been. You have done better than Stark, better than the Avengers, and better than the past and present ASCH. So when someone asked me, who else can be the Chief of SHIELD? I thought of you the first time, after all, in my opinion... you have been already."
Michael frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"No." He said, "hiding in the dark is the advantage of Tianjian and me. We observe the enemy, analyze the situation, and then wait for an opportunity to solve the problem, hide our whereabouts, and be clean and neat. It is really not my specialty to stand in the spotlight and argue with a group of politicians.
Also, what you are talking about is a symbol, a person who can see and entrust life to people. That obviously will not be me, nor will it be the Black Knight—as we all know that the Black Knight is a terrorist, not a symbol of hope, nor a shining hero.”
"So why can't you be that kind of person? Or should I change my question... Why do you think you are not that kind of person?"
Michael moved his eyebrows.
