Chapter 140 - Funding
Nick Fury's words caused both Eric and Charles to freeze.
Especially Charles.
From the moment they told Nick Fury about their plans, he had used his powers to invade Nick Fury's mind without a word, silently observing his opponent's psychological activities, and he knew better than Nick Fury himself about the series of psychological changes during the conversation.
What surprised him was that the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. really trusted his father.
Pretense?
With his powers, all pretense was a joke.
Mike looked at Nick Fury and said, "That's how much you trust me?"
"Ha ha!" Nick Fury laughed and said, "Isn't that touching?"
Mike teased, "You don't look like an agent in chief at all."
Nick Fury leaned back and said in a relaxed tone, "Firstly, I know you, and secondly, this project, if it works, will help the world, and I'm in on it so I can control the direction of it together."
After a pause, he smiled at the father and son and said, "The key point is that you will carry out the plan even if I am not involved."
Mike nodded and said, "That's right!"
"Wee!" Nick Fury bristled, finished his long-cold glass of water in one gulp and said to Mike, "Did you, my friend, decide long ago that if I didn't say yes, or if you found out I was pretending to say yes, you would erase this memory?"
Mike had a lot of power and he knew exactly what Mike could do.
Hearing this, Eric and Charles tensed up a little.
But Mike glanced at Nick Fury and said, "That's not a sure thing! You would have gone even further than I did!"
Nick Fury stretched his hands, "I'm just a normal guy, I'm no match for you."
He didn't have super strength, he could only use caution in many cases, but even so, he knew that no trick was too good to be true in the face of absolute power, and in his mind, Mike was one of those super strengths.
Although he didn't know what Eric and Charles were capable of, when he thought of Mike and Clark's powers, he instinctively felt that they must be exaggerated as well.
"What powers do they both have?"
"You'll find out later!"
Before Eric and Charles could say anything else, Mike gagged them.
Nick Fury looked at Mike in annoyance and said, "What's the point of telling me in advance? It's not like I'm going to say anything!"
"What's the benefit of telling you? Can you provide some of the money to build the school?"
Nick Fury murmured and said, "That's something S.H.I.E.L.D. would rather not be involved in."
Mike looked at Nick Fury with contempt and said, "Don't pretend you don't understand, I'm talking about you, not S.H.I.E.L.D. Since you're going to be part of this project, would you be willing to come in empty-handed?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing." Mike sneered and said, "Are you secretly revolting ... right now"
"Yes! I'll give it to you!" Nick Fury gritted his teeth and glared at Mike, saying, "You're an asshole!"
Mike grinned and said, "You're right."
Looking at the two men bargaining, Eric and Charles were speechless, but when they heard that Mike had got the money for him, they were overjoyed and said to Nick Fury, "Thank you so much, Uncle Fury."
"Don't call me uncle, call me Fury!"
Nick Fury said, "You're all so full of shit, you call me uncle, but i don't know when you're going to sell me out!"
Mike said indifferently, "It's like you can't be sold without calling you uncle."
Exasperated, Nick Fury said, "Go on, tell me what you're capable of."
Mike looked at Nick Fury threateningly and said, "If you don't pay afterwards, don't blame me for not being polite ..."
Nick Fury grunted softly and looked over at Eric and Charles.
And the two men, after glancing at Mike and seeing him nod to them, spelled out their abilities.
There was no way to hide their powers after the project had begun, and it didn't matter if Nick Fury knew about them sooner or later.
Nick Fury's mouth grew wide as he heard about the two men's powers, his eyes moving over the father and son as he drew in a cold breath.
This family ... is the devil, right?
If this family wanted to destroy the world, it would be easier than a trip to the toilet for him, who had been constipated for a long time.
Then, he couldn't help but smile.
Luckily, he and Mike were friends.
Wait a minute!
If Mike was strong, how could his three children be so strong?
As far as he knew, Mike had adopted all three of them.
Does it mean that children adopted by Mike get ...
He couldn't help but look at Mike and...
I don't know if it's too late to do this.
Mike was sweating from the look and said, "What do you want to do?"
Nick Fury gave a smile and said, "I'm thinking ..."
Mike snapped, "Not even if you're thinking about it!"
Nick Fury shrugged and finally returned to normal, his thoughts disappearing from his mind.
Silence ...
After a few seconds, Mike couldn't help but say, "It's over, you can go, what are you waiting for?"
Nick Fury's eyes popped out of the corners and he pointed to the darkening sky outside and said, "You're kicking me out at this hour? Not even a meal?"
"For the sake of your funding, what would you like to eat?"
"Spicy Chicken!"
Mike waved his hand and headed for the kitchen.
Watching Mike leave, Nick Fury smiled.
The meal was secondary to the fact that he wanted to talk to the two men.
Turning his head, he looked at the two men and before he could say anything, Charles was the first to say, "Fury, what happened with your eyes?"
He looked curiously at Nick Fury's one eye, which was covered by an eye patch.
"I lost it in a mission, and it was a lesson to me."
Eric said unconcernedly, "It's a minor problem, my dad should be able to cure it."
"Oh!" Nick Fury nodded, mournfully, "He was trying to cure me but I turned him down, I wanted to make myself remember the lesson."
Charles and Eric looked at each other with a wicked smile in their eyes and said, "I just told you about my powers, you do know that I can see through a lie or something at a glance, don't you?"
Nick Fury: "..."
Even with his thick skin, he was now a bit feverish.
"Ahem!" Charles coughed lightly and said, "I won't say anything."
Nick Fury's mouth tugged at the corners as he said with difficulty, "You and your father are so much alike."
They're both so hateful!
"Thanks."
Charles accepted the compliment happily.
Nick Fury's face twitched wildly.
"Ha ha!"
Eric couldn't help but laugh out loud and said hurriedly, "I'll go help in the kitchen."
Nick Fury glanced at Charles and the atmosphere became even more awkward.
