Chapter 221: SHIELD Agent and the Nature Guardian

The Airbus slowly landed on the deck of the Nature Guardian which was covered by the dense forest.

Coulson led his team and set foot on this magical ark, which was even larger than the SHIELD aircraft carrier.

"Wow... None of the instruments detected anything here, and it's not visible to the naked eye!"

Fitz was so excited that he was almost incoherent.

"Is it invisible? But even SHIELD's cloaking technology is only optical invisibility..."

"Well, I think Bruce can probably explain it to you."

Oaks remembered his promise to give them a tour and waved his hand.

"Follow me."

"Wow! Dr. Bruce Banner!"

Fitz and Simmons were both excited. He was a super genius who was still alive and had his picture hung on the walls alongside many top scientists in the world.

"I heard there's a Stark Industries' Arc Reactor here!"

"I wonder if Dr. Banner would let me draw some blood for research..."

Well, Fitz said that, and naturally, Simmons followed.

"It's rare to relax like this. Although I heard that you've moved to a fancy place, this is the first time I've seen it."

Even Melinda, who had seen and experienced a lot, couldn't help but be impressed by the magnificent scenery in front of her.

"Oaks, it's hard to imagine. Just a few years ago, you were selling potted plants in a small shop."

"Maybe I should thank you both properly."

Oaks's eyes also revealed a nostalgic look as he smiled and shook his head.

"If you and Coulson hadn't discovered the Benevolence Society's existence, I might still be selling potted plants."

"That's impossible. Someone like you wouldn't be content with just running a small shop."

Coulson shrugged.

"But my biggest regret is not being able to persuade you to join SHIELD as an agent. Otherwise, you would probably have surpassed Level 8 clearance by now."

"...It's a good thing you didn't succeed, Coulson."

Ward, who had been investigating Oaks, understood his situation from Simmons, one of Oaks's fans, and couldn't help but sigh.

"If Dr. Oaks became a SHIELD agent, us mortals probably wouldn't have any tasks left."

"You're exaggerating, Agent Ward."

Oaks glanced deeply at Ward, the Hydra agent whose dark side hadn't fully emerged yet, likely because he hadn't touched the Berserker Staff.

"Even as an Avenger, I'm not a model worker. Most of the tasks are left to showboaters like Tony. Bruce and I prefer to stay in the lab.

Well, Steve is quite busy. He not only has to manage security for the Benevolence Society but also works part-time at SHIELD. He also has a lot of inspirational endorsements."

"Captain America..."

Ward's eyes lit up.

"Is Captain here? I haven't seen him at SHIELD... I don't have the qualifications to interact with him for missions that require his intervention."

"Although Captain Steve Rogers is not officially part of SHIELD, he has Level 8 clearance."

Coulson smiled at Ward and then turned to Oaks, somewhat nervously.

"But, uh, Oaks, if Captain is here, uh... my limited edition..."

"Oh, I forgot, you're a big fan of Steve..."

Oaks slapped his forehead.

"He's on a mission at SHIELD. It's probably hard for you to meet him before you leave. But if you go directly to Washington, you might get a pleasant surprise."

"What... surprise?"

"..."

While everyone was engrossed in their conversation, Skye followed behind with a gloomy expression.

Even though she was on the Nature Guardian, the unprecedented miracle scenery only slightly lifted her spirits.

Well, just a little.

"Coulson!"

She walked straight up to Coulson, pulling him to the side and staring into his eyes.

"So you will just leave me behind like that?"

"Skye, listen, we all hate to part with you, but do you remember what I just told you?"

Coulson looked at Skye, her hair blowing in the wind, and patted her shoulder.

"With Oaks, you will have a completely new life, and perhaps an opportunity to continue the investigation.

Oaks always keeps his promises.

For you, SHIELD is far from being a safe place.

Secrets can't stay secret forever. Once your identity is exposed even a little, those people from before will definitely not let you go."

"Well, you've already mentioned the reason earlier."

Skye was still somewhat excited.

"But... I want to become a SHIELD agent! What can I do in an environmental organization? Planting trees all day?"

"Maybe a few years ago, but not anymore. There are three Avengers here."

Coulson gave her a reassuring smile.

"When we uncover the truth, if you still want to be a SHIELD agent, I will personally bring you back to the team!"

"It's a deal!"

"Yeah."

...

Bruce Banner, Yinsen, Maya, and Oaks himself, these four top scientists from different fields, formed the core of the Oak Tree Environmental Technology Company.

Although Fitz and Simmons were geniuses, they were still young.

For them, being able to consult these senior experts who had achieved remarkable results in their respective fields face to face was a rare opportunity, and they fully understood that.

Melinda found Goose in the forest, and although Ward didn't get to see Steve, he seemed more interested in exploring the entire ark.

Oaks didn't really mind.

What he showed them was all open to the public.

What he didn't show them, even if they had magic, they wouldn't be able to see it.

Oaks asked Antonio to familiarize Skye with the environment, strictly speaking, they were both from the same hometown.

However, the SHIELD team couldn't stay for long.

Because they received a transmission from headquarters detecting a massive energy fluctuation.

It was located in the atmosphere, directly above the Nature's Guardian.

"Boom—"

The radiant brilliance of the Bifrost dazzled the eyes of the SHIELD agents.

Skye couldn't close her mouth in astonishment.

The Bifrost that Thor travels with?!

Unfortunately, it wasn't Thor who arrived, but a fully armed female warrior.

"Oh, it's Lady Sif... Welcome to Earth."

Oaks subconsciously looked up at the sky, that Loki...

"Oaks the Sage, I apologize for the interruption!"

Sif bowed to Oaks, and the bewildered SHIELD agent finally realized what Oaks's "Sage" identity meant in Asgard.

Coulson knew Sif and understood her status.

"I have come with a mission from the Allfather - Earth is in danger!"

Sif's expression was serious.

"I am pursuing a fugitive named Lorelei. Six hundred years ago, she caused havoc in the Nine Realms with her abilities. When the convergence occurred, she escaped and used Loki's spatial passage to arrive on Earth."

As soon as Oaks heard this, he immediately looked at Coulson.

"Well, SHIELD happens to be here, and finding people is what they do best."
