Almost at the same time as he moved forward to close the portal, a vigorous figure climbed up the hill next to the armed base; the originally cautious action posture froze suddenly when his feet landed.

This person was ready to clear the terrorist sentry post, but what appeared in front of his eyes were two corpses lying on the post.

He subconsciously opened the folded compound longbow, leaned down from the sentry post and looked into the valley, and was shocked by the scattered corpses at the bottom of the valley.

The person who came was Hawkeye, who had just experienced a fierce battle with the Ten Rings; when the Ten Rings broke away from the battle and rushed back, Hawkeye unexpectedly tracked them in the opposite direction—only less than 3 minutes later than the Ten Rings. .

It has to be said that the most outstanding field agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is really skilled and daring. After repeatedly confirming that there are no living people, he went straight to the bottom of the valley.

Nick Fury quickly received a communication from Hawkeye: "Sir, I have entered the terrorist base where Stark is being held, but something unexpected happened here. The militants seem to be dead."

"Who did it?"

"I don't know, but judging from the situation at the scene, I think they had an internal strife. Most of the people died in the exchange of fire." Although the traces of the exchange of fire left at the scene all proved Hawkeye's speculation, he still felt that It's unbelievable.

"Did you find Tony Stark?"

Hawkeye glanced at the dark cave entrance: "No, the target may be deep in the cave, do you need me to investigate further?"

Nick Fury on the other end was silent for a moment: "No, the U.S. military is already very close to the target, and the on-site rescue mission is entrusted to them. You don't want to have any contact with Stark."

"Yessir!"

"When did the abnormal actions of the militants appear?" Nick Fury asked.

"Twenty minutes ago, probably."

"When did James Zion cut off contact with you?" Nick Fury asked again.

"About...before the militants acted abnormally. Sir, do you suspect that Zion is in charge of all this? Haven't we always been sure that he is still in Shanghai?"

"I'm not sure, but..." Nick Fury said in a low tone, "James Zion is smart, rich and powerful!"

"Sir, although I'm not very sure, what happened here may not be something that can be achieved with just money." Hawkeye said before cutting off the communication.

Compared with field agents like Hawkeye, Nick Fury's mind is obviously much more complicated.

On the first day that Tony Stark just disappeared, the intelligence personnel of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Europe, the Middle East and other places sent back news one after another, and several mercenary organizations that were well-known in the mercenary world received large deposits.

These mercenary groups are required by their employers to transfer to neighboring countries of Afghanistan, and they are on standby 24 hours a day to enter Afghanistan at any time to perform hostage rescue missions.

Coincidentally, at the same time that Hawkeye discovered where Stark was being held, the monitors of these mercenary groups reported that the mercenaries had moved one after another; stopped moving.

Although the deposits paid to the mercenaries were all taken from secret Swiss bank accounts, one week was enough for S.H.I.E.L.D. to trace the general direction of these funds—basically they all came from Asia.

Although the investigation can no longer continue after this step, the identity of the investor is already ready to be revealed.

Nick Fury once believed that God Lance was the main competitor of SHIELD in Asia, and only Zheng Xian could suppress the expansion of SHIELD's influence in Asia.

As for forward, it is considered as an important supporting force around Zheng Xian; at most, it can be regarded as a key supporting role.

That playboy is always indulging in feasting and feasting, dealing with Yingying Yanyan; although he has an outstanding mind, and relies on financial resources to manage deep connections in the United States and around the world, and even has a lot of friendship with X Academy-but it is always open on the bright side.

According to Nick Fury's view based on spy thinking, this kind of overt power is a controllable factor.

But a series of changes in the Alcatraz incident made him completely change his view.When the agent king really set his sights on that playboy, he was shocked to find that everything he had seen about moving forward was just the tip of the iceberg.

Right now, in the internal files of SHIELD, the attention to Xiangqian has been rising again and again, and it is already the object of attention of SHIELD second only to Zheng Xian.

This is a person who has enough power to disturb the security situation in a region.What's even more frightening is that he didn't need to use official power to do all this.

In Nick Fury's thinking logic full of conspiracy theories, this young man with a semi-official background seems to be ready to use his power to exert more influence on the world after years of dormancy and accumulation of great power.

Nick Fury didn't like the sudden uncontrollable factor; he was desperate to find a way, a way to make forward into a controllable factor again.

"What the hell is James Zion doing now?" The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. wondered why Xiangqian suddenly cut off contact with Hawkeye.

What is James Zion doing?He was busy complaining about a little girl.

"I wanted to ask you the last time you brought me here." Qianqian walked on the scorched land at the border of hell, surrounded by scorching hot magma.

"Why is it such a remote place where you teleported back to the border of hell?" Qianqian looked up again at the dark castle in the distance, "This is more than ten miles away from Velasco's castle."

"I'm just happy! What's the matter?" Liana obviously didn't want to respond to this question.

Qiangqian sneered "humph", obviously not believing Liana's nonsense.

"Even if you like walking, it shouldn't be such a place. Standing here, I feel surrounded by piles of rotten eggs, which have been baked by the sun, and my nose is full of sulfur dioxide."

"You can open the portal by yourself, you can open the portal as long as you can see it, can't you? Draw a circle and you will reach the gate of the castle in one step." Liana replied angrily.

Shaking his head forward repeatedly: "That's not acceptable. The combat experience summed up by Kama Taj's past mages taught me that it's best not to open the portal into the enemy's territory at will; after all, no one can guarantee whether the other side of the portal is a A trap set by the enemy."

Liana recalled the last time she brought this playboy to teleport, the other party quietly opened the mirror space as soon as he landed, obviously he had defended himself early.

She choked angrily: "Then you shut up."

How could Xiangqian be obedient and shut up?This guy is more like a broken mouth in front of people.

"No, no, it's not the same thing. You can't open the portal at will on the enemy's territory, but it's different when you go home; it's like when ordinary people go home, they will always be at the door or the nearest bus stop get off."

Liana snorted coldly and didn't answer.

He squinted at the little girl's profile forward, and smiled meaningfully: "Unless...you don't regard this place as your home."

Liana turned her head abruptly, and looked forward coldly: "Which normal person would regard hell as his home?"
