Marvel's opening inherits Darkseid

Chapter 58 Coulson's Guilt

Not long after Nan Zhou left, there was a knock on the door of Stark's mansion.

Stark opened the door to find two men in suits standing outside.

One of the men picked up the tag hanging on his chest...

"Mr. Stark, we are the staff of S.H.I.E.L.D. We detected a huge energy fluctuation near your home just now. We suspect that it is related to the person who claimed to be Darkseid in the New York incident, so it is convenient for us to enter Do you want to talk about it?"

Looking at the name on the man's tag and the logo of S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark curled his lips, then tilted his head...

"come in."

The two S.H.I.E.L.D. staff also smiled at each other, and followed Stark into the mansion.

Walking into the mansion, the two were surprised by the luxurious and technological decoration.

"Do whatever you want. If you have anything to say, hurry up. I have other things to do."

The two nodded after listening to Stark's words.

They didn't go around the bush, but went straight to the point...

"Mr. Stark, do you know the man who claims to be Darkseid?"

Stark didn't hesitate...

"know."

This answer stunned the two staff members of S.H.I.E.L.D.

They didn't expect Stark to respond so quickly, and even admitted directly.

"Is it convenient to reveal the real identity of that person to us?"

When the words came out, Stark shook his head directly.

This move met the expectations of the two.

If everything happened too smoothly, then things would not feel so simple.

"To tell you the truth, although I know him, I also want to know his identity."

Stark smiled wryly, then spread his hands.

"Every time this person meets me, he wears a mask, and even his voice has been processed. I have never seen the real face of that person."

When Stark said this, the two staff members were also a little speechless.

They couldn't tell if Stark was lying or telling the truth.

"Then why did he release such a beam of light with huge energy on the beach near your house this time?"

the staff asked again.

"It's actually very simple. He came to me this time because he wanted me to make him a high-defense suit..."

Immediately afterwards, Stark told about Nanzhou asking him to make clothes, and about collecting light beam data for defense.

Of course, Stark did not disclose the fact that he obtained the huge energy of data replication.

The staff heard this and grabbed a point.

"Then how did you get in touch?"

Since the two know each other, there must be a contact method, no matter if it is a phone number or an email address, there must be one.

But unexpectedly Stark just shook his head...

"There is no contact information between us. He contacted me one-way. If there is anything, he will come to my house directly, bypassing all the surveillance systems, and breaking into the house!"

Stark chose to lie this time, and even sued Nan Zhou.

Maybe it was also to get revenge on Nan Zhou for never going through the front door every time he came to their house.

The two staff made a series of inquiries again, but the final result was still unsatisfactory.

They just learned that Stark knew that Darkseid, but Stark knew very little effective information.

The only thing I know that may be useful information is that Darkseid asked Stark to create a suit with excellent defense.

That's it.

This result inevitably disappointed the two staff members.

Finally, the two got up, thanked Stark, and left Stark's mansion.

As soon as the two left, they called Nick's air phone and reported the situation to Nick.

On the plane at this time, Nick, Coulson and Hill were rushing to California.

And Nick's air phone rang, which also attracted the attention of Coulson and Hill.

Not much time, Nick hung up the phone, and the expression on his face was not very good.

"What's the situation, did the investigation reveal anything?"

Coulson hurriedly asked.

And Nick just shook his head.

"Those two people asked about Stark, but Stark knew very little about it, whether it was identity or contact information, Stark didn't know anything about it. Of course, this does not rule out that Stark is lying."

"This guy is an old liar."

After hearing Nick's words, Coulson also heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also very contradictory.

Coulson has been struggling with Nanzhou's identity.

He felt that he knew Darkseid's true identity and should report it to Nick.

But he didn't, he chose to hide it for Nan Zhou.

Because Nan Zhou was his savior, if it wasn't for Nan Zhou's protection, he might have died under the iron tyrant's fist.

In order to repay his savior, Coulson naturally promised Nanzhou that he would never reveal his identity.

On the one hand, there is S.H.I.E.L.D., which he serves loyally, and on the other hand, Nanzhou, his savior. Coulson is naturally quite entangled.

He didn't know whether this decision was good or bad for himself, for SHIELD, and for Nick, the director of SHIELD who trusted him.

But since I have already achieved this step, I can only go on anyway.

Hill didn't have any opinion on this matter, she was just called up suddenly by Nick.

Recently, her mental state is not very good, and the problem with Nan Zhou made her unable to concentrate.

Nick naturally also saw the situation of his subordinates, so this time, it can be regarded as taking her to relax, and then helping her get back to work.

"I need to talk to Stark about this matter in person. As a member of the Avengers project, such a big matter has been concealed privately."

As soon as these words came out, a trace of imperceptible embarrassment appeared on Coulson's face.

Although Nick said this about Stark, it still applies to him.

It was as if he was speaking to himself.

If Nick knew that he would have known Darkseid's true identity but concealed it.

That's not all that Nick said.

May be angry, disappointed, puzzled

After all, I am one of Nick's closest and most trusted people.

The fact that he was not on his side must have dealt a severe blow to him.

Seeing Nick who was looking out the window thinking about the problem, Coulson had a complicated expression.

And this slight detail was noticed by Hill.

Hill was naturally very puzzled, and of course it was impossible for her to think of the truth of the matter.

Just thought there was some misunderstanding between Nick and Coulson.

Of course she never imagined that the current Coulson would feel full of guilt every second he spent with Nick.
