Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

"This...director..."

Hill looked ashamed and hesitated.

"You can tell by the look on your face that you've gained nothing again, right?"

Fury snorted coldly.

"I'm usually too lenient with you. Kaito Kidd has become more active recently, which means we have more intelligence to judge his movements."

"But you haven't figured out his identity yet! You don't even know his possible hiding range?"

Hill closed his eyes and accepted a wave of Fury's saliva again. Ever since SHIELD classified Kaito Kidd as a Level 7 file, Hill had been scolded by Fury a lot.

Although she didn't say it, Hill had only one thought deep in her heart at this time, that is, after finding out who Kaitou Kidd was, she would severely beat the bastard who caused her to be scolded repeatedly.

And Nick Fury…

Well, he is now the director, he is just a deputy, and there is a secretary-general of SHIELD above Hill.

No matter how unpleasant Fury's scolding was, Hill could only listen obediently.

But this is not important, because both the current Director Fury and Secretary-General Pierce are old people who have lived for more than half a century. Even if they have used anti-aging drugs, their remaining lifespan will not be too long.

And Hill is still very young. Sooner or later, she will become the director. When that time comes, it will be her turn to sit comfortably in a chair and scold others...

By then, she will also wear a thick black windbreaker in the summer, and then sit in the office and blow on the air conditioner...

The thoughts in her mind drifted further and further. Although the expression on Hill's face was always heavy, Fury didn't listen to a single word of what he said to her.

Facts have proved that there is not much difference in the reaction to being scolded, whether it is an ordinary person or an elite agent.

If there is a big difference, it would be that ordinary people have not undergone micro-expression training, and it will be easily seen when they are distracted, which may lead to more serious consequences...

"I'm disappointed in you, Hill."

I don't know how long it took, but Fury finally sprayed enough saliva. Maybe he was so thirsty that he couldn't secrete any saliva.

Fury picked up the coffee on the table without leaving a trace and took a sip.

"I'm sorry, sir."

At this time, Hill came back to his senses instantly and said to Fury with a sad face.

Fury immediately felt relieved to see one of his most valued subordinates showing such sincere repentance, with no trace of impatience on his face.

I recall that when I was working under Pierce, I was often scolded like this, but Fury himself did not have such a good temper. Every time Pierce scolded him, he showed extreme impatience.

Confront your boss?

I can’t say it happens often, I can only say it happens a few times every year.

On several occasions, Pierce even had his salary deducted for half a year, which made him almost unable to afford food. God knows what a painful experience it was, and even now that he is the director, he has not recovered from it.

I don’t know how much of the budget approved by the World Security Council every year goes into Fury’s own pocket...

According to Fury's style back then, it was a bit incredible that Pierce actually asked him to be his successor when he resigned as director and became secretary-general.

Anyway, if Fury were to speak, he would never let a guy who would contradict him inherit his position.

"If Kaitou Kidd can't be found, what about the super-powered person who rescued him in the end?"

"...This is the first time that person has used his ability in the public eye. I have never heard of anyone being able to control plants before."

Hill said after being silent for two seconds.

"Preliminary judgement, we only know that this person with super powers is suspected to be a woman, and may be Kidd's lover or assistant."

"After sampling and studying the tree roots, our botanists found that these tree roots are not very old and theoretically cannot grow to such a strong level."

"So, in addition to being able to control plants, she may also have the ability to quickly spawn plants, and we can't tell whether she can only control trees, or whether she can control all plants."

Fury pondered for a moment and said: "If you cannot accurately judge the situation, deal with the worst expectation. If Kaitou Kidd's assistant can control all types of plants, and can also quickly spawn these plants..."

A scene has been automatically generated in Fury's mind: in the city, towering trees are rising from the ground, and flowers, plants and thorns are growing wantonly, spreading in every corner.

Pedestrians on the street were pierced by rapidly growing branches, and high-rise buildings were penetrated by giant trees.

Cities were turned into ruins, humans were turned into nutrients, and the earth became a paradise for plants!

"No, this person is too dangerous and must be strictly controlled!"

Fury was startled by his imagination and broke into a cold sweat.

"Not only are there threats on Earth, but there is also Thor, the God of Thunder, who appeared in New Mexico last time. Humans are never alone in the universe, and these threats are right around the corner!"

"The research on the Cosmic Rubik's Cube must be accelerated. Maybe it's time to urge Dr. Shavig to leave as soon as possible, but before that..."

Fury stopped his thoughts and turned to Hildao.

"Hill, since we can't track Kaitou Kidd's movements from the surveillance records, then go and contact him directly!"

After a pause, Fury shook his head again and said, "No, Kaito Kidd is different from the superpowers we knew before. Simple contact is doomed to be ineffective. Just capture him!"

"Romanov is still lurking around Stark and cannot be exposed for the time being. You call Coulson and Barton back and ask them to bring ten agents above level five to the Stark Expo in two days to lurk and meet Kaito Kidd properly."

"But there are too many citizens at the Expo, and the purpose of SHIELD has always been to hide from people's sight..."

Hill hesitated.

"Don't worry, Hill, Barton and Coulson will handle it."

Fury was full of confidence.

"Yes, sir."

On the other side, New York University has fallen into a boiling state.

As we all know, young people often have no resistance to various eye-catching hot current events.

News like Tony's challenge to Kaito Kidd will obviously be popular throughout the campus at the first time.

Almost no student stopped talking about the topic of Iron Man vs. Kaito Kidd, no matter which professor's class it was the same.

As a result, in the middle of today's class, countless professors went on strike, and New York University was forced to suspend classes for three days, waiting for the storm to completely subside before resuming classes.

The same situation is happening in major schools in New York, especially in famous schools.

After all, not-so-good schools often don't have too many outstanding students, and they can use grades to restrain students, but in famous universities...

There are students everywhere who can refute professors, so what's the big deal if they miss a few days of classes?
