Leaving the Ministry of Science and Technology, Leon returned to the main building of the Trident headquarters, took the elevator made of transparent glass, and went straight to the floor where the office of the director was located.
Speaking of it, it was the first time Leon came to the office of the director of Trident headquarters.
I have met Fury several times before, all in other places.
The New York branch, his apartment, even at Peggy Carter's birthday party…
Maybe, this is Fury's purpose to keep himself "out of sight".
Who knows…
Leon was thinking about something in his head, while walking outside the director's office.
Klang Klang…
Three rhythmic knocks on the door quickly exchanged for the phrase "come in" inside.
Pushing the door and entering, a director's office similar to the impression came into view.
The over-simple decoration and the decoration composed of black, white and gray make the whole space look very simple and direct.
It seems to foreshadow that the character of the owner-to speak out.
At the moment, Fury, sitting behind the desk, was looking at Leon who came in with the only remaining eyes.
"Director, this is what you want." As he said, Leon took out the hard drive from the underground research facility from his pants pocket and placed it on the desktop.
Fury, sitting in the office chair, didn't look at the hard drive, but still fixed his sight on Leon.
Just when Leon was staring at him a little hairy, Fury just twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a ridiculous smile: "This small hard disk actually makes our SHIELD ace agent-"Sweeper", all used. A full month… It seems that Roxon's defense work is still very good…"
The solemn atmosphere in the air was suddenly broken by Fury's joke.
Leon also read out "appreciation" and "recognition" from his smile.
Although I have just joined S.H.I.E.L.D for more than a year, during this time, Leon may be the new agent who has met Fury the SHIELD Director the most times.
Compared to many S.H.I.E.L.D employees who have not had the opportunity to meet Fury's own S.H.I.E.L.D staff for many years, he is not unlucky.
After all, in the workplace, being able to let your boss know your name and meet with you means that you have got his attention.
Getting the above attention means that he will see your performance.
Once you perform well, getting promoted, raising your salary, and reaching the pinnacle of your life is not a problem at all!
Leon's rise from level 4 to level 6 in just six months is a stark example…
However, the rocket's general soaring speed is largely because he is the nephew of Phil Coulson…
Fury's trust in him is much higher than other agents.
"You just follow your instructions to complete the task."
The neither humble nor overbearing answer made Fury's evaluation of him to a higher level.
"However, in this month, I discovered a very interesting thing."
Fury raised his brows, tapped his fingers on the desktop, and asked, "Oh? What is it?"
"This cyborg soldier plan is not only researched by Roxon, but also an organization of unknown origin is helping them."
"I suspect that they have reached some kind of cooperation agreement with a certain force…"
Leon did not directly name "HYDRA", but reminded Fury pointedly that behind this incident, it was not that simple.
"Well, this way… I know."
However, from Fury's answer, Leon felt that he didn't care too much.
However, Leon is not in a hurry.
Eliminating HYDRA can't be done overnight…
To deal with a very patient enemy, we must be prepared for a long struggle.
"Speaking of which, you have accomplished the tasks I entrusted to you very well. I think you deserve a reward."
At this time, Fury's words made Leon recover from HYDRA's affairs: "Reward?"
"Yes, what you need or want, just speak!"
Seeing the unpredictable expression on Fury's face, Leon was a little suspicious. Is this a test?
He doesn't know whether this "reward" is good or bad.
However, as a subordinate, when the boss wants to reward you, Leon knows how to answer: "Director, although I am very satisfied with my performance. But this is my duty."
The implication of this sentence is: "I'm fine, if I reward or something, forget it."
However, who is Fury?
Holding the big boss of the world's largest secret agent organization, hundreds of billions of funds are constantly flowing, and hundreds of thousands of people follow his instructions.
The people who have seen it and the things encountered are much more than the sum of his two lives.
Leon is this little guy, how can he not see…
"Leon agent, sometimes, I really don't know, are you a 21-year-old young guy or a 41-year-old fritters…"
Leon gave an awkward but polite smile.
"Don't worry about the reward, you can go back and think about it slowly. Tell me when you think of it, it's not too late."
Speaking of which, Leon knew that this was an eviction order.
"Okay, then I'll go out first."
"Um."
After Leon left the office, Fury picked up the hard drive on the desktop and muttered to himself: "Roxon…I want to see, what the hell are you guys doing…"
. . .
A few days later.
Leon, who was resting at home, received a call from Fitz.
On the phone, Fitz revealed bad news to him.
"What?! You mean, that Adamantium, you can't melt it?"
On the other side of the phone, Fitz's slightly frustrated voice rang again: "Although I don't want to admit it, but yes…"
Leon asked again: "Is the temperature not enough? I remember, Adamantium, during the production process, it must be kept at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit in order to be shaped…"
"Yes. But, the black Adamantium you brought here hasn't changed at all at the same temperature. Even if the temperature is raised to 5000 degrees Fahrenheit, there is no sign of melting."
No signs of melting at 5000 degrees Fahrenheit? !
Before Leon was surprised, Fitz's words touched his heart again:
"Moreover, I have tested it. The black Adamantium you brought here is also mixed with an unknown metal fragment, which is still a new element that does not appear on the periodic table!"
"Perhaps, it is necessary to use the high temperature generated by huge energy sources such as arc reactors or nuclear fusion to melt it."
"It is a pity that S.H.I.E.L.D does not have such technology…"
