Chapter: 129

"The first phase strategic plan of S.H.I.E.L.D. for the Tesseract was the development of a super energy source and a light-speed engine. Unfortunately, according to the information I found, both of these plans were ultimately abandoned.

The good news is that after many years, the completion of this super energy source was accomplished by Tony Stark, the son of the project's leader, Howard Stark.

Now, according to the description in the data, the second phase plan of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to use the Tesseract to manufacture weapons.

Wow, and the inspiration for this comes from your old acquaintance, Hydra.

Or rather, it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second phase plan is still in the testing phase, based on a project that Hydra completed decades ago. I really have to doubt the capabilities of these researchers within the organization."

Mark projected the data he received from himself onto the large screen and gave a detailed explanation to the three individuals.

"So Loki's mockery is correct. Nick Fury's research on the Tesseract was never intended to benefit humanity but to wage war. However, now, the war has come knocking at our door, and S.H.I.E.L.D., as the protectors, is not yet prepared.

I even suspect that even if I help him find the Tesseract, he would lock me up and use me as a new research subject."

After hearing the information provided by Mark, Dr. Banner sarcastically taunted Fury, clearly having lost all trust in him.

"Dr. Banner, Fury is a spy, an agent of espionage. His secrets have secrets.

I even suspect that the reason Loki was able to open the portal from the other side using the Tesseract was because S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't control it properly during their research, causing it to emit a signal to the other side of the door, allowing the enemy to find us so easily."

Tony wasn't surprised at all. He wasn't naive enough to believe the words of a spy leader. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed J.A.R.V.I.S. to infiltrate the confidential database on the Helicarrier as soon as they boarded. If Fury hadn't hidden something from them, that would be truly abnormal.

"All of this is just written descriptions, not solid evidence. What we should do now is follow orders, focus on the enemy, and not let Loki's plot succeed."

After seeing the truth revealed by the data, Steve's tone softened slightly, but he still clearly knew what they should do in the face of a formidable enemy.

"Steve, don't you think something is suspicious?" Dr. Banner looked at Steve and asked.

"..., you should all hurry up and find the Tesseract." After saying that, he left the laboratory without disturbing their research.

However, as soon as Steve stepped out of the laboratory door, his expression immediately betrayed him. His inner turmoil was evident. And for a warrior about to go into battle, that was a grave mistake.

It seems that Steve has made a decision. Instead of returning to the control room to wait for the mission, he walked towards the confidential storage facility on the Helicarrier...

Meanwhile, inside the control room, the decryption program left by Tony had been discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Upon learning about this, Fury stormed into the laboratory, full of anger, to confront them.

"Mr. Stark, what are you doing!? You should be searching for the whereabouts of the Tesseract."

"We are doing that. The search model has been determined, and we are scanning for search signals. Once the results are out, we can narrow down the search range to within 800 meters," defended Dr. Banner.

"That's right. Then you can retrieve the Tesseract. Just be patient. But before that, I want to know why you kept the second phase a secret from us. What exactly are you planning to do?" Tony wore an expression that said, "Please start your performance," as he stared at Fury's remaining right eye.

"I'm also particularly curious about this matter," Steve walked in from the door at this moment, placing a weapon on the table. "You need to explain."

"Captain, you just said we should follow orders, focus on the enemy. I didn't expect you to be so rebellious," Mark looked at Steve with a strange look upon seeing him come in with evidence.

"Sorry, but suspicion is a grave mistake for soldiers. I need to know the truth," Steve responded somewhat awkwardly.

"Captain, we've gathered everything related to the Tesseract, including the weapons developed by Hydra using it, but it doesn't mean..."

Fury wanted to explain further to Steve but was abruptly interrupted by Mark.

"Sorry, Director Fury, you were talking about weapon designs. We've already seen them not long ago," Mark said while turning his screen towards Fury, presenting the contents previously shown to Tony and the others in front of Fury.

"So why did S.H.I.E.L.D. use the Tesseract to develop weapons of mass destruction?" Banner also voiced his confusion at this moment.

"I guess it's because of what happened in New Mexico, right?" Mark, who had known the truth for a while, revealed the truth with a slight disguise.

"Yes, an extraterrestrial visitor came to Earth and ended up flattening a small town..."

Before Fury could finish, Mark interrupted him again, saying, "Sorry to interrupt, but I have to interject. I was the one who destroyed the town, and later I arranged for the company to provide personnel support and donations."

"...," Fury's mouth was slightly trembling at this point, unable to find words to say. The atmosphere in the room instantly turned icy due to Mark's disruption.
