Chapter 145 Three Months Later
"Bang!"
In the Trident Building, there was a sound of slapping the table in the director's office.
Nick Fury was seen with a gloomy face, slapping his hands on the table.
In front of him was Ward with an expressionless face.
"You said that this mission was due to the intervention of Kaito Kidd, which not only caused you to fail to catch the people of the Tide Organization, but also caused a casualty of a person, and even exposed the people who monitored Jessica Jones?"
Even if Matt concealed the fact that SHIELD was secretly monitoring her in front of Jessica, the original monitoring personnel would not be able to continue to monitor Jessica.
"Why didn't you report it immediately after seeing Kaito Kidd?"
"You acted on your own initiative, you almost killed a comrade, do you know that!"
Ward's mistake made Fury very angry.
"If the wound on Bieber's leg is one centimeter deeper, he may never be able to stand up again in his next life, one centimeter! Do you know what this means?"
Bieber was the agent whose leg was injured by Barbara with a dart.
Since they failed to catch Kaito Kidd in the end, Ward did not need to kill the three agents.
They returned to the Trident Building together.
After all, level 5 agents had no right to ask about Kaito Kidd's information.
Whether Ward's statement that catching Kaito Kidd would lead to a direct promotion to level 7 was true or false, level 5 agents could not know it.
They could not even ask.
Unless they really captured Kaito Kidd alive and then found that Ward had not been promoted to level 7, the truth of the matter would be revealed.
"I'm sorry, sir."
Ward blamed himself.
"If I hadn't privately decided to let the agent in charge of monitoring Jessica assist me in my work, and had not fought Kaito Kidd without authorization, these losses would not have occurred."
"I am willing to accept any punishment."
Fury looked at the regret on his subordinates' faces, and most of his anger dissipated.
Ward was a talent that Fury was very optimistic about, otherwise he would not have been promoted to level 6 at such a young age.
"Go back and write a self-review, and I will temporarily freeze your security clearance. Before the Tide is completely destroyed, you have no right to query any files unrelated to the Tide."
Fury issued a punishment to Ward.
For a SHIELD agent, this punishment is definitely not light, but for Ward, who is actually Hydra, it is the same as no punishment.
He didn't need to rely on his own authority to query the information.
After accepting the score, Ward left the director's office.
Not long after, the door of the office was opened again, and this time it was Coulson who came in.
"Director, we have finished analyzing the batarang-like weapon taken out of Bieber's leg. It is only slightly different from the darts used by Batman."
Coulson put a transparent plastic bag on the table, and inside was Barbara's two darts.
"Whether it's the bat logo or the overall size, they are made of the same material, which is a very rare super alloy on the market. It's impossible for ordinary people to buy it. Sir, this is definitely not a coincidence."
"The girl from the Tide Rising Organization is likely to have a deep relationship with Batman."
Fury frowned slightly.
Could it be that Batman has also set his sights on the Tide Rising, and the girl is a nail he planted?
Unfortunately, they can't find anyone now even if they want to.
Because there are only a few surveillance cameras in Hell's Kitchen, and Ward and others basically focus on Kaito Kidd.
They didn't see what Barbara and Skye looked like, only Bieber was a little closer.
According to Bieber's description, one of the two girls is a typical European and American race, and the other looks like a Eurasian.
Both are around 20 years old, very young and very beautiful.
And then... it's gone.
This can't be blamed on him, after all, it was late at night, and there were not even a few street lights on the whole street.
The Kana Detective Agency itself is located in a dilapidated, dark and endangered building, and light is a luxury.
Being able to see the general facial features is already a sign of extremely strong vision. Most people can only see a shadow.
The only good news is that Ward and others remembered Skye's car model and license plate number.
Then they collected surveillance footage overnight and found that Skye drove away from New York that night.
After that, there was no way to track him.
While SHIELD was busy with various things.
Maggieson stayed at home with a relaxed look on his face, checking the contents copied in the USB flash drive.
"Did you gain anything?"
Charlie sat next to Maggieson and wanted to watch the screen.
However, due to his height, Charlie had to stand on tiptoe to see the computer screen.
After watching for a while, he felt tired, so Charlie simply sat down and asked Maggieson directly.
"It's a big gain."
Maggieson looked at Charlie and smiled.
"The Rising Tide Organization seems to be very obsessed with supernatural things. I found a lot of interesting things in these materials."
Like the Cup of Life that carries the water of rejuvenation, the Eye of Aurora that can cross the world, the Blue Diamond of Hope that brings endless bad luck, the Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes, the Spear of Destiny Longinus that once killed Jesus...
There are both well-known myths and legends, and rare treasures that have never been heard of.
There is nothing that the Rising Tide Organization's database does not include, except what you can't think of.
Moreover, they not only simply include legends, but also put forward various hypotheses in an orderly manner.
List countless evidences to verify their conjectures and speculate where these supernatural treasures are located.
Some may not have been discovered yet, and some are locked in museums by ignorant people as ordinary cultural relics.
Maggieson is sometimes very curious.
What is the purpose of the people who established the Rising Tide Organization?
Logically speaking, since the Rising Tide Organization has mastered the information about so many magical items, whether it is true or false, it is at least quite credible.
From the huge amount of data, it can be seen that they have been collecting this information for many years.
But they have never really searched for it on the spot.
Even if there are plans for some field exploration, at most they can only determine a general direction, and will not find specific things.
It seems that their purpose is just to prove in theory that these things exist and let the public know this.
As for whether they can find real objects, they don’t seem to care at all.
This is very different from their reaction to superhumans.
"Forget it, what those hackers think has nothing to do with us, Charlie, get ready to work..."
Since the tide prefers superhumans, these treasures belong to me.
Maggieson thought to himself.
In the remaining time, in addition to dealing with the four classes that must be attended every week, Maggieson and Charlie acted separately.
They went to major museums to see if the information described in the supernatural items was true.
During this period, they found that most of the information was not true.
Soon three months passed like this...
