Chapter 288 Do You Want Me to Take It Out and Fry It for You to See?

The matter was almost sorted out, and there was no need for the investigation team to stay here any longer. With Nick Fury's permission, everyone except Natasha and Leni left the director's office.

Leni originally wanted to leave, but under Natasha's eyes, she chose to stay here to see what other tricks Luan Dantou wanted to play.

Click!

The office door closed again, and Nick Fury, who was still standing by the window and looking into the distance, turned around and stared at Leni with one eye.

"I heard that you plan to recruit Task Force 141 to join SHIELD?"

Leni rolled her eyes and glanced at Natasha beside her.

No need to think about it, this must be a small report from this beauty.

"I can't talk about wooing him. I just feel that Sheffield is going to be finished. Instead of continuing to be fooled by those guys from the Security Council in 141, it's better to just recruit him into SHIELD."

Nick Fury raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

"You think General Ross would agree?"

"He must agree, and he owes me a favor now. You know the hardest thing in the world to repay is a favor."

Leni's words meant something. Except for Coulson, the three people present showed a clear conscience, and the corners of the eyes of the other two people twitched slightly.

Nick Fury knew that Leni was expressing dissatisfaction with him, but he didn't care.

"First Skye, then Mester, Phil, Simmons, and now you want to form a force under your control. Why, do you want to be the chief so much?"

Leni glanced at him. This kind of unobjectionable duty was not painful to her at all, and there was no need to answer at all.

"Or what are you preparing for?"

Nick Fury's eyes were fixed on Leni, and he was confident that he could catch all the micro-expressions of the other party.

Sure enough, when Leni heard this, the skin at the corners of her eyes twitched unnaturally, but she immediately covered it up.

"Ready to replace you."

Nick Fury said nothing, and looked at him for a long time, becoming more and more sure of his guess.

"You can't be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you're still far from it."

Looking away, Nick Fury had no intention of continuing to ask questions, although he was not sure what Leni was preparing for.

But as Leni said, 141 is indeed not suitable to continue to be in the Security Council. As for General Ross...

"I can ask General Ross for people on your behalf, but where do you plan to place them next? With you? Or..."

Leni narrowed her eyes. This braised egg head was indeed difficult to deal with. Even if she didn't say it, this guy would probably already know it in his heart.

"For the quick reaction force, just let them stay there for the time being and continue to perform similar tasks as before. Just leave the details to Rumlow. He is best at this."

"Oh? You really do your duty, aren't you afraid that I will let Rumlow break them up?"

Nick Fury is acting a little surprised, at least on the outside.

"It's up to you. Sooner or later I will take over for you."

"Haha, I'll just wait and see."

Nick Fury did not continue to ask about Task Force 141. As he said, he could help Leni make it happen.

After all, this in itself is a good thing for SHIELD. So what if Leni is really recruiting troops for herself? He is confident that SHIELD will never be out of his control.

"Where is that nuclear bomb? Where is it still with you now?"

"Otherwise? You want me to take it out and blow it up for you to see?"

The old fox didn't intend to go into details, and the little fox was naturally happy to save the trouble. Going to explain to Nick Fury about Hydra at this time would be causing trouble for herself.

Nick Fury didn't care about Leni's rudeness. After all, it had been so long and he had already figured out Leni's temper.

"Are you sure your warehouse space can guarantee that thing will never explode?"

In fact, this topic is the fundamental reason why Nick Fury kept Leni.

Strategic nuclear missiles, a strategic weapon that can easily destroy a city, are now so casually in the hands of the celestial being in front of them.

This had to make Nick Fury reconsider Leni's threat to the earth.

"Don't worry, if nothing happens, I will never take it out. After all, the damage range of this thing is really outrageous. I don't want to be killed by the nuclear bomb I took out."

Leni separated part of her consciousness and sank into the warehouse. The nuclear bomb still remained in the same state as when it was first contained in the warehouse.

Seeing that Leni's words were serious and not just nonsense to quarrel with him, Nick Fury nodded to acknowledge Leni's statement.

Natasha and Colson on the side were also slightly relieved. Leni's own life was at stake, and she never joked.

"I hope so."

Seeing this, Leni stood up from her seat and was about to go back. After working for so long, her eyelids had already begun to fight after taking a short rest.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's do it. I'm tired too. Let's talk about it some other time... ugh~ I have to go take a nap~"

As she spoke, Leni yawned and then prepared to leave.

"Wait, there's something else."

However, Nick Fury stopped her again and motioned for Leni to sit back down.

"You haven't explained clearly about the 084 item yet."

Leni frowned and said to herself that the old fox had a very good memory, and this could not fool him.

"Ah...I forgot, it's here."

After a haha, Leni reached into the void and took out the energy core of the metal cosmic cube, which was square in appearance and shaped like a sphere in the center.

Dang dong!

The metal frame of the energy core made a muffled sound when it touched the table, and the glass window of the central sphere immediately emitted a faint blue light.

Accompanied by a slight buzz, the light curtain slowly dissipated in the air.

Except for Leni, the other three people present were all startled by Leni's large movements. It was not until the overflow effect of the energy core completely disappeared that a few people recovered from the stiff movements.

"Damn it, are you trying to scare someone to death?"

Natasha frowned and swore. Fortunately, she had a relatively big heart and had seen a lot of weird things. Otherwise, those young people from the investigation team would have to be direct right now. Don't jump up from the sofa.

"Relax, it's very stable, and the energy leakage is very subtle. As long as you don't use external energy to activate it, this thing is almost like a decoration..."

Leni took the metal energy core in her hand and played with it twice, and even shook it to prove that this thing was very safe.

Nick Fury looked at the energy core that was accompanied by Leni's hands swinging back and forth, leaving several light blue afterimages in the air, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

But Colson grasped the key point of Leni's words, bent down a little distance from the energy core, rubbed his chin and asked:

"Needs external energy to activate? You mean, for this thing to work, it needs to be activated with additional energy?"

Leni's hand movements paused, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face.

"Um... more or less, this thing itself is a substitute for the Cosmic Cube, so if you want to fully activate it, you still need to activate it with the energy of the Cosmic Cube..."

After thinking about it, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Leni added.

"It's just that this thing is a failure. It won't take long for energy to pour out after activating the energy. The controllability is really poor. For safety reasons, it's better to leave it with me for the time being..."
