Chapter 23 The Portrait of Dorian Gray

The Greedy finally made his request, and he wanted Fury to hand him a portrait of Dorian Gray.

Fury on the phone thought for a long time, and finally agreed to the greedy person's request.

"Then how should the transaction be determined?"

Fury inquired about the details of the transaction, trying to keep everything in hand and avoid some unexpected things from happening.

However, the greedy man's answer caught Fury by surprise.

"I'll go with you until you give me the portrait."

Fury directly agreed to the greedy person's request.From the transaction level, this is a good way, as long as the transaction is completed, the money and goods are settled, and there is no debt.

But it is not a good choice for the greedy. As long as Fury does not give him the portrait, the transaction will continue, and the greedy will always stay at the place arranged by Fury, unless something happens later .

After the discussion between the two sides, the greedy man shrank his body, turned into a treasure chest again, and was carried towards a helicopter by two soldiers.

Natasha and Coulson boarded another helicopter under Fury's command.Coulson on the helicopter didn't see Fury's double, and he didn't even notice when the double left.

Having experienced all these strange and weird things, Coulson and Natasha's nerves were always tense, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief until they got on the helicopter.

The helicopter flight didn't last long, and soon landed in an unknown farm yard.

After getting off the helicopter, Coulson stood not far away when he saw Fury.

Coulson pressed the headset silently until it was connected, and the ringtone came from Fury not far away.

After confirming that this was Fury who had been on the phone with him, Coulson stepped forward to salute and said, "Nice to meet you, sir."

Fury didn't care about Coulson's little tricks. As an agent, it is the basic quality to remain skeptical.

"Natasha, I need to see your mission statement in an hour, and Coulson will dictate it first."

Fury gave the two the same task respectively, and in order to prevent the two from colluding, they reported the two separately. He had some trust in Coulson, so he wanted to listen to Coulson first.

After Natasha expressed her understanding, she followed the guidance of a ground crew to another place.Coulson followed Fury, and the two walked around the farm.

Coulson reported everything from seeing Natasha in a short language, and accurately repeated every word of the greedy person.

"You mean, the monster took a coin from Natasha?"

"Yes, according to him it was a blessing."

Coulson recounted the greedy man's explanation to Fury without any personal emotions, including that after Natasha agreed, the greedy man hooked his fingers and got a rusty coin.

In this way, the conversation between the two lasted for a long time, ending with Coulson's question.

"Sir, how are we going to find that painting?"

"Actually, there's no need to look for it, I know where it is."

Coulson was surprised and surprised by Fury's words. The surprise was that he didn't need to bother to find the portrait anymore, and the surprise was that Fury's information.

"Colson, do you know Captain America?"

When Ferry mentioned Captain America, Coulson subconsciously puffed up his chest.

"Sir, Captain America is a hero, he is my idol."

"On the battlefield of World War II, the superhero Captain America was born, and there were also these superheroes on the battlefield of World War I earlier, and some of them have the ability not to lose to the captain."

What Nick Fury said shocked Coulson a little. Coulson didn't know the hidden stories in World War I. For him, Captain America, the superhero with the title of the first Superman, was enough.

"Colson, have you heard of the League of Gentlemen?"

100 years ago, Britain was still under the rule of Queen Victoria, and the whole of Europe was in chaos.An evil force that haunts nations like a ghost and keeps fighting.

Queen Victoria made a decision. She sent the Sherlock Holmes family as a special envoy to gather seven talented human elites to form the "Union of Special Gentlemen" to fight against evil.

"Among them are great adventurers, navigators, genius boys, Doctor Strange, vampires and supernatural beings, who were organized to investigate this evil organization."

"So they managed to save the world? Like Captain America!" Hearing superhero stories, especially those that came before Captain, excited Coulson.

"Yes, but they almost failed. There was a traitor among them. And this traitor is what the greedy monster wants."

Coulson didn't understand. What the greedy person wanted was a painting, and what Fury said was a traitor, the two had nothing to do with each other.Coulson, the representative of good employees, knew not to interrupt casually when the leader was speaking, so he waited patiently for Fury's explanation.

"Dorian Gray, or Lord Henry Warden as he is called, is also a member of this alliance, with infinite life and youth, but he is a traitor."

Dorian Gray has a self-portrait painted for him by the painter Basil Hallward. After seeing the portrait, he was amazed by his own beauty, so he made a wish to the portrait to retain his youth and let the portrait bear the aging.Unexpectedly, this wish came true. Since then, he has infinite youth and a body that never ages. Even if he suffers damage, it will only be borne by the portrait.

"The League of Gentlemen finally sealed the traitor in his own portrait, which has remained to this day. The portrait is still kept by SHIELD in London."

After savoring the superhero story told by Fury carefully, Coulson did not expect the item to be in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"So, are we going to coordinate with S.H.I.E.L.D. London to get that painting?"

"No, for some reason, the painting is now being kept secretly by me."

There is obviously a problem with the London S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff appearing in the hands of Fury of the San Francisco S.H.I.E.L.D.But Coulson would never ask why there was such a stupid question, so he had to throw another question to change the topic for the leader.

"Then shall we give the portrait to the greedy one?"

To be straightforward, after the transaction is completed, Coulson himself does not need to worry about this matter anymore, and Fury can also prevent greedy people from coming to collect the bill.

If the deal is not completed, Fury can hold off until the greedy ones come to him.But during this period, there is a lot of room for manipulation, and maybe more information can be obtained.

Coulson was still thinking about the pros and cons, but Fury didn't expect to say something else.

"We're going to re-investigate Natasha..."

　It's the third day of junior high school. I wish everyone all wishes come true.Everything you ask for is fulfilled, everything you do is smooth, everything you get is what you expect, and all dreams come true.
