Chapter 34: First Encounter with Phil Coulson!
Phil Coulson, dutifully following orders, stops his car about 700 to 800 meters away from the target dock.
He turns off the engine and the lights in a series of skilled movements.
However, he doesn't know why the director doesn't allow him to enter the dock again.
But obeying is the right thing to do!
This is why Phil Coulson has gained Nick Fury's trust over the years.
At least, as long as he is capable of serving the agency and the Director, the Director wouldn't harm him!
He takes out a tablet that is far more advanced than anything commercially available and starts reviewing two videos just transmitted from the agency.
Since the Director has stopped him from entering the dock, it must be related to these two videos.
Phil Coulson watches and ponders.
In fact, currently, Nick Fury treats the only a Level 7 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Phil Coulson, like a robot that never needs to rest.
He had just managed the aftermath of Tony Stark suddenly announcing himself as Iron Man, and before he could even have a bite to eat, he was summoned by Nick Fury's "death call."
Touching his increasingly receding hairline, Phil Coulson can only express his lament in a mournful sigh.
.............
On the other hand, Qi Jun does not know that his information has appeared for the second time at S.H.I.E.L.D. and has been marked for potential capture.
Nor does he know that consideration for people on-site, not retrieving actions directly led Nick Fury to fabricate an entire mysterious, unknown organization espionage drama.
At this moment, Qi Jun, along with Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, is desperately running towards the outside of the dock.
After a wave of ambushes that knocked out all pursuers, Qi Jun and his group momentarily secured some safety.
The Bear Gang had no idea that the pursuers they sent out were utterly wiped out by Qi Jun and his team.
And by now, the fight inside the dock had escalated to its final, most intense moments.
With the Bear Gang restrained by the three factions inside the dock, they had no extra human resources to pursue Qi Jun and his group.
A brief respite finally allowed Qi Jun and his team to escape the dock.
Identifying their direction, they sprinted along a pre-selected route.
Just running out of the dock doesn't mean they were truly safe!
.............
After a chaotic firefight, the situation inside the dock formed a triangular standoff.
Norman Osborn's private military is one side, with the most potent firepower and strength, but also the most suppressed.
The Kingpin Gang and the Hand, having a foundation of cooperation, quickly integrated. Although not as elite as Osborn's private army, they were overwhelmed in numbers.
The Bear Gang, bold and aggressive, managed to maintain the situation even while fighting both groups.
To achieve the current balance of power among the three factions, they fired a few portable rocket launchers.
Just a few more minutes without the deterrence of rocket launchers, and the situation was likely to break!
Honestly, the leader of the Bear Gang could kill the person who gave them the intelligence.
Saying it was only the Kingpin Gang and the Hand, yet with all this heavy weaponry, they still couldn't win.
Plus, an unexpected mercenary group nearly got them poorly beaten.
If I survive this and return, I'll definitely cut off the head of the informant and stuff it up their ass!
The Bear Gang despised the unknown mercenary group that suddenly appeared.
Osborn's private military also hated these unexpectedly emerging Bear Gang members!
Watching as they were about to enjoy the fruits of victory after crushing the Kingpin Gang, then you suddenly rush in, an irrational Bear Gang.
You say you're fighting your Kingpin Gang, fine, but why are you hitting us, too?
Seeing the great situation being destroyed, Osborn's private military also profoundly resented the suddenly emerging Bear Gang!
On the other hand, the people of the Kingpin Gang and the Hand hated it even more!
Damn, it, we were just having an excellent little transaction on our turf, and suddenly an assassin appears, not only killing so many of our men but nearly wiping out our side completely.
As if the assassin wasn't enough, then a senseless Bear Gang emerges, making the Kingpin Gang and the Hand suffer immensely!
Who did we provoke?
Just having a small transaction with the Hand on our turf, and some people can't stand it?
.............
Meanwhile, Phil Coulson finished watching two short videos, each about the length of a short clip that might appear on social media.
Phil Coulson turned off the tablet, his expression growing solemn.
'Invisible Watcher'?
Indeed, this was the nickname S.H.I.E.L.D. had just bestowed upon Qi Jun~
Was it the same person or two different ones?
What use were those bodies? Why collect them?
Was this an individual's superpower? Or was it achieved through some sort of black technology?
And, were there really explosives planted all around this dock?
Though unsure of the truth since it was only the 'Invisible Watcher' who had claimed so, Phil Coulson felt a chill. He touched his back and found that his vest was soaked with cold sweat.
Clearly, even the 'nice guy' Phil Coulson feared death!
.............
As Qi Jun and his two companions were sprinting along the road, they suddenly heard the sound of a car starting up ahead.
With the engine roaring, two bright beams of light shot out from the headlights. Fortunately, they didn't shine directly on Qi Jun and his group, but the sudden light still dazzled them.
Click~~
Click~~
Click~~
Without any hesitation, Qi Jun and his companions immediately raised their guns.
Bang! Bang!
Without a second's delay, Qi Jun decisively fired two shots, instantly taking out both headlights.
"Hey!"
"I mean no harm!"
Do you need any help?
As Qi Jun aimed his gun at the driver's seat, ready to take out the driver, too, a loud shout came from the opposite seat.
The car door opened, and hands were raised high as the person from the driver's seat slowly got out.
