Chapter 268 Forceful Rescue
Chapter 268 Forceful Rescue
Spider-Man!?
The unexpected arrival of reinforcements brought a look of delight to Steve, who had thought he had been tricked and was destined to die a humiliating death.
From that moment on, Riley's image was deeply imprinted in his mind.
As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm...
At first, Steve believed Nick Fury's lies and treated Riley as an enemy.
Not only did he foolishly follow the other party's instructions and run to Parker's house, but he also did so.
He even tried to rescue the lying Nick Fury from Riley's clutches!
Thinking about it this way, the relationship between Riley and Steve, let's not even go so far as to say they were just casual acquaintances...
I should be thankful that Riley didn't treat me as an enemy.
What's more, the other party actually put aside past grievances and appeared at such a critical moment to save my life!
Thinking about it that way...
He considered S.H.I.E.L.D. his comrades-in-arms, yet they ruthlessly killed him. They showed no regard whatsoever for his contributions to the country during World War II…
On the contrary, the "enemy" whom they had misunderstood was willing to put aside past grievances and risk a formal war with S.H.I.E.L.D. to come and rescue them personally...
The stark contrast between treacherous "comrades" and ungrateful "enemies"...
This naturally filled Steve with a myriad of emotions at that moment!
Little did anyone know, Riley, who appeared so serious, was actually beaming with joy behind his mask. The curve of his lips was so wide it rivaled the sun, harder to suppress than an AK!
Sure enough, the value of the statement "Our competitor is XX!" continues to rise!
Riley was originally thinking that even if the existence of the Skrulls was revealed, the stubborn Steve might still be persuaded to continue working for S.H.I.E.L.D. He was figuring out how to poach Steve from S.H.I.E.L.D. and... well, I mean, sincerely recruit him to District 13 at the lowest possible cost.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the ninja soldiers lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters delivered the good news that Nick Fury had broken down and was now trying to kill Steve...! Uh cough cough, shocking bad news!
This made Riley, who was so worried about Steve, burst into laughter on the spot.
Under the covert surveillance of ninja soldiers, and with precise timing, he summoned a dimensional wall, allowing Talos to pilot a helicopter, transporting him and Thor from Area 13 to the scene.
That's how the scene came about where Steve, whose life was hanging by a thread, was "just in time" saved by Riley!
Of course, upon discovering the illegally intruding helicopter, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defense systems immediately went into full action!
However, under Thor's protection, no matter what kind of attack method was used, it would be easily intercepted by Thor flying at high speed!
They could only watch helplessly as Riley leaped from the helicopter and entered the elevator shaft through the previously drilled gap.
Then, grabbing the steel cable with his bare hands, he forcefully pulled the descending elevator back up. After dismantling the top of the elevator car to rescue Steve, who was trapped inside, he launched a web to connect with Thor. And just like that, carrying Steve, he gracefully flew away from the scene.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. members were so angry they stomped their feet, looking at Thor's retreating figure with deep resentment!
They mistakenly believed that Thor was in their way, which prevented them from stopping Spider-Man's invasion of S.H.I.E.L.D. members. What they didn't know was...
In a sense, Thor was their savior.
After all, if they actually shot down the helicopter, forcing Riley to stay there to save Talos, who was piloting it...
Well, it probably won't be long before the long-established S.H.I.E.L.D. becomes a part of history...
Incidentally, the villains weren't the only ones surprised by Spider-Man's appearance.
Then there's Coulson, who, after receiving the order, keenly sensed something was wrong because of his remaining conscience. But outnumbered and outmatched, he didn't know how to rescue Steve and found himself in a dilemma.
So much so that after confirming through surveillance footage that Riley had successfully rescued Steve.
Coulson, who had idolized Steve since childhood, closed his eyes, slumped into his chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Coulson reopened his eyes, he realized that the "Nick Fury" sitting in the office was definitely not the old comrade-in-arms worth risking his life for. After a moment of contemplation, Coulson took out his phone from his pocket and skillfully dialed a number.
"...Hello, Mr. Spider-Man, I'm Coulson. I have some information about the Skrulls you mentioned that might be useful to you."
"If you don't mind, please teleport me to your side. My coordinates are..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gray-white barrier with its own water ripples appeared out of thin air in front of Coulson.
Coulson, who had already made up his mind, didn't hesitate or worry at all. He strode forward, plunged into it, and disappeared from the office along with the dimensional barrier.
And less than a minute had passed between Coulson's decision to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson's office was then forcibly opened by a large number of heavily armed SHIELD agents.
Clearly, the failed assassination attempt on Steve completely broke Nick Fury, causing him to become increasingly erratic.
Using the copied memories, "Nick Fury" learns about the deep bond between Coulson and the original Nick Fury, making him convinced that Coulson will "betray" him sooner or later.
So, they decided to go all the way and reassign all the agents originally assigned to assassinate Steve to Coulson's office, hoping to strike first.
Little did they expect that although Coulson was honest, as Nick Fury's chosen successor as the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was not a fool who could be easily manipulated!
Nick Fury, anxiously awaiting news only to find he'd missed his target, completely lost it! He smashed things up in his office, venting his rage!
Only after calming down a little did Nick Fury slump into the only intact chair, as if all his strength had been drained away. Under the oppressive pressure of the intense unease that made him feel suffocated, he let out a long, mournful sigh.
It's over, it's over...
Now, there's no way to deal with that Spider-Man monster...
Fate is so unfair...
We Skrulls simply want justice and a home that belongs to us...
Why would a monster like Spider-Man be born from a race as weak and contradictory as humans? He easily crushed the Skrull radicals' revival project, which they had poured all their efforts into!
Since the Skrulls were born...
Why is Spider-Man here?!
