The heroes were furious when they learned of Nick Fury's death.

I want newly appointed Maria Hill and Pierce to give them an explanation.

Why was Nick Fury assassinated and killed just after he stepped down as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Is it a little trick they did behind the scenes?

Just to clean them up?

When Maria saw the news, she knew something was wrong.

Nick Fury would die sooner or later, but he died at this time.

Tell others clearly that there is something wrong with this.

But Maria knew that they were wrongly accused.

But is this useful? Useless!

These agents who are afraid of being purged will definitely unite.

Keep putting pressure on them.

Because these people know that Maria will need to rely on them in a short period of time to stabilize the SHIELD drama.

They all occupied key positions when Nick Fury was in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Once they all strike, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot be said to be paralyzed directly.

But the efficiency will also be greatly reduced.

It's almost impossible to keep running.

Maria also knew this situation, but there was nothing she could do about it.

After all, when Nick Fury was in charge, she was not allowed to interfere too much in the operation of SHIELD.

Although she is nominally the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But under Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. absolutely did not allow anyone to interfere.

The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. can only follow Nick Fury's orders.

Perhaps even Nick Fury himself never thought that one day he would be kicked out of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This resulted in the faction left behind by Nick Fury, who relied on his identity to begin to threaten Maria.

I hope she can get an accurate result on what happened to Nick Fury.

They knew that Maria would slowly purge herself after her position was firmly established.

That's why they took advantage of Nick Fury's incident to take advantage of it.

Just to fight for the status they have from Maria.

When Nick Fury was there, Coulson was the go-between.

They are not afraid that they have no way out.

After all, they all believe that it is only a matter of time before Nick Fury returns to S.H.I.E.L.D.

At that time, regardless of whether they are ordinary agents, they will continue to stay in their positions.

When Nick Fury returns, they are still the same.

But with Nick Fury dead, their last hope was gone.

They could only use this most violent method to fight against Maria.

If we don’t fight now, we will wait until Maria takes action to differentiate.

No one can guarantee that they will have their current status.

Coulson, who was rushing to SHIELD, didn't know that things had reached this point.

He just hopes to use SHIELD's intelligence to investigate the murderer of Nick Fury's death.

Maria came out immediately.

"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will investigate the murder of Nick Fury."

"Director Maria, I hope you can give us an accurate explanation."

"Who killed Director Nick Fury?"

"Yes, we need an explanation."

"The murderer must be severely punished."

"Don't worry, we will launch an investigation as soon as possible."

"Director Maria, I hope we will also participate in this investigation."

"We want revenge for Director Nick Fury."

After Maria heard their appeal, she knew what these people were thinking.

Is it just the fear of losing his position? Talk about revenge for Nick Fury.

It's all just an excuse.

"Don't worry, some of you will be involved, but SHIELD needs to function, and most of you still need to be at their posts."

After hearing Maria's words, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

How could they not know the meaning of Maria’s words?

But who is involved and who remains in position has not been confirmed.

When it comes to their own interests, they only think about themselves.

Because of this, no one of them spoke out, but they also did not retreat.

Of course, the main reason is that it is a foregone conclusion that Maria will become the director, but Nick Fury died at this critical moment.

They no longer have their biggest support.

In the end, for your own benefit, you will have to compromise sooner or later.

"You can wait until Coulson comes back to discuss it."

Maria looked at them calmly, her tone flat.

He could see that although these people had some talents, they were far from the talents in her mind.

Now was not the time, otherwise Maria would have to slowly clean them sooner or later.

Maybe Nick Fury uses them just to control himself.

But Maria doesn't need that, she just wants SHIELD to operate at a faster speed.

These people who hold high positions but have no great abilities will have to take a back seat sooner or later.

It's just this resistance that makes Maria's time for reckoning continue to advance.

Pierce, of course, heard about the struggles within S.H.I.E.L.D.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and had no intention of mediating.

Instead, I was thinking whether this was an opportunity.

A chance to make S.H.I.E.L.D. theirs once and for all.

Maria happened to be liquidating the people left behind by Nick Fury, and he also wanted to liquidate this group of people.

Maria always needs someone to take control of the position left after the liquidation.

When the time comes, he will let his people demonstrate their value and ability a little bit.

Might as well get Maria's favor and lift them up.

Moreover, Maria is different from Nick Fury. Nick Fury is nepotistic, while Maria is the one who gets the upper hand.

There is a lot of room for maneuver here.

Coulson quickly rushed back to SHIELD.

As soon as he returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson was called.

He was called directly in front of Maria.

"Colson, does SHIELD's matter have anything to do with you?"

Maria Hill looked at Colson seriously.

Maria still has a good impression of Colson.

Although Coulson is Nick Fury's guy.

But Colson has extremely strong business ability and is very popular.

In the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., there are only a few who can reach Coulson's professional level.

So Maria hopes that Coulson is not involved.

"Director, what happened in SHIELD?"

Coulson was a little confused. After he went out, why was he directly asked about this kind of thing when he came back to SHIELD?

Is there something wrong with SHIELD?

"It's nothing."

Seeing that Coulson really didn't know what was going on in SHIELD, Maria was relieved.

"By the way, Director, I happen to have something to do with you?"

"whats the matter?"

"I saw the death of Director Nick Fury in New York."

Colson's face turned a little ugly.

"It was definitely a murder, not a suicide."

"So I hope that I will investigate the murderer of Director Nick Fury."

After Maria finished listening, she looked directly at Colson.

"How many people do you need?"

"As long as Natasha and Barton assist me."

After hearing Colson's words, Maria was completely relieved.

Although Coulson also wanted to investigate the death of Nick Fury.

But it's different from the group of people from S.H.I.E.L.D.

"If you need any help, you can tell me now."

Maria naturally agreed, someone like Coulson who really wanted to investigate.

What's more, Nick Fury is a member of SHIELD.

Although he has resigned as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he is still an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

And he was assassinated just after leaving office.

What does this make others within S.H.I.E.L.D. think?

Will he be assassinated when he resigns?

You see, even the dignified former director was assassinated as soon as he left SHIELD.

What about ordinary agents like them?

Maria also hopes that Coulson will find the real culprit.

In this way, her position becomes more stable.

Inside the Wilson Manor in Hell's Kitchen.

Wilson was slightly surprised when he saw Nick Fury die.

After all, with his understanding of Nick Fury.

It feels like the whole of New York has exploded, and Nick Fury will be fine.

Now he was suddenly assassinated by an unknown person.

Wilson didn't believe it.

But he didn't mind confirming the news.

Regardless of whether Nick Fury is truly dead, or he is trying to use this method to escape and lurk in the dark.

Then Wilson would help him and completely kill Nick Fury's identity.

"Norma, find out who killed Nick Fury."

"Under investigation."

Soon, the surveillance data around the building where Nick Fury was located at that time was retrieved by Norma.

Then, a vague figure appeared in front of Wilson.

"Can you confirm who the other party is?"

"There is currently no data about this person in the database."

When Wilson heard this, he understood.

Although Norma's database is comprehensive, there are some old guys who are not born in it.

It seems that Nick Fury was assassinated by one of them.

No, maybe Nick Fury is not dead.

With his cautious and suspicious character, he didn't know how someone could want to assassinate him.

In other words, the person who died was just Nick Fury's substitute.

Wilson was thinking about where Nick Fury was hiding.

"Norma, use a blank identity to send a message to the people underground."

"As long as Nick Fury is found and killed, the reward is 1 million!"

"First add 20 million to the account as a deposit."

"I want to let the entire underground world know about this reward within two days."

"Norma received it and is making arrangements."

Wilson looked at the scenery outside.

"I wonder if you can escape Nick Fury this time?"

Wilson's eyes gradually narrowed.

Like a cat trying to tease a mouse.

It seems like a joke.

In SHIELD headquarters, Pierce is still conceiving his plan.

He decided to take this opportunity to bring the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. under his control.

Now we have to cleanse the group, the people left behind by Nick Fury.

But on this matter, Pierce needed to talk to Maria.

If she cooperates, the success rate will be higher.

Soon, Maria came to Pierce's office.

"Minister, you are looking for me."

"What do you think of those people left behind by Nick Fury in SHIELD?"

After Maria heard this, she thought for a moment and then thought about Pierce's purpose.

"It's not appropriate to goad them now that Nick Fury has just died."

"No, I think now is the time."

Pierce looked at Maria and said seriously.

"Just take this group of people's opportunity to cause trouble and clean them out of SHIELD."

"In this case, SHIELD may not be able to operate normally for the time being."

Maria hesitated.

"Maria, you have to know that many people want to join SHIELD."

Pierce looked at Maria kindly.

"We can temporarily promote some people, or transfer a group of people from other departments."

"At least in terms of ability, there's nothing to say."

"And instead of letting them leave SHIELD, why don't we just create another department and let them all go in?"

"Can they agree?"

"If they don't agree, let them retire and see if they agree."

Pierce's eyes glowed fiercely.

"Minister, I feel it's better to be on the safe side."

Maria thought carefully and rejected this tempting offer.

We still need to be more stable now.

Wait until SHIELD is stabilized before purging these people.

That way, these people will never be able to make any big waves again.

Hearing Maria's words, Pierce looked at her carefully.

"Since you think it's better to be safe now, then I'll listen to you and clean them out when the time comes."

"Minister, if there's nothing else, I'll go down and handle official business."

"Go!"

Looking at Maria Hill leaving, Pierce's eyes flickered.

It seems that this time he chose the wrong person.

This Maria Hill is not as easy to control as she seems on the surface.

But she's definitely going to cleanse Nick Fury's remaining hands.

Otherwise, the people who follow her will not be able to get to the top. How will others view her?

It's hard to say whether anyone will continue to work for him in the future.

It seems that he still needs to wait for an opportunity.

Wait until Maria couldn't help but take action.

Now, let him add fire to this group of people.

I just don’t know whether this group of people will commit suicide or pull Maria down together.

Pierce would love to see that happen.

Not long after Coulson left.

A rumor has emerged within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson has surrendered to Director Maria.

Become Maria's person.

Now Coulson is investigating the death of Director Nick Fury.

But he didn't know how to investigate seriously and would only do it perfunctorily.

Moreover, there are only a few manpower he needs, and they have already been found.

No one else needs to join in.

There are only two people here, Natasha and Barton.

At first, this rumor was not taken seriously.

Even Maria didn't know about it.

But over time, they leveraged their connections within S.H.I.E.L.D.

It was confirmed that Coulson was indeed investigating the murder of Director Nick Fury.

There were only two people inside, Natasha and Barton, helping him.

Suddenly, these people felt a little uneasy.

Then, they took advantage of the opportunity and began to communicate in secret.

They want Maria to know that there is absolutely no way SHIELD can continue to operate without them.

Because in their eyes, this was a sign that Maria was going to take action against them.

They don't want to sit back and wait for death, they want to fight back hard!
