Chapter 5: Green Goblin Skateboard

"Alexander Pierce, the Minister of the World Security Council," Nick Fury, the one-eyed man, stared at the name with a complex expression. "He was also the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the one who promoted me to become the director."

"If he promoted you, why would he send someone to assassinate you?" Tony Stark asked in surprise.

"That's what I want to figure out. Yes, Pierce and I had some ideological differences, but they weren't enough to justify him killing me. Besides, he's no longer with S.H.I.E.L.D.," Nick Fury also couldn't understand it.

"There must be a big conspiracy behind this," Natasha Romanoff, the seasoned spy, sensed the scent of a conspiracy.

"Maybe you used some dirty means to take his position as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he's seeking revenge on you?" Tony Stark speculated with wild imagination.

"Why? Why would he want to kill me?" Nick Fury glanced at Tony Stark and couldn't be bothered to entertain his question.

"Fury, don't rush. The incident hasn't happened yet. After we get out, we can investigate slowly. We'll definitely find out," Natasha Romanoff said.

"Our intelligence is limited for now, so let's skip the question and focus on the options," Nick Fury, not one to dwell on things, decided to move on since they had no clues at the moment.

"I think I can be ruled out," Tony Stark told Nick Fury. "I don't believe that you can bypass my security system and enter my house while being targeted for assassination."

"That leaves Romanoff, Barton, and Captain America as the remaining options," Nick Fury agreed with Tony Stark's judgment. Since Tony Stark became Iron Man, Nick Fury had an unprecedented level of attention towards him, naturally including knowledge about the security systems in his house.

"No matter what happens, Barton and I will definitely stand by your side," Natasha Romanoff analyzed. "But Barton has a family, so you wouldn't hide at his place."

"Another one eliminated. Romanoff, it's down to you and Captain America," Nick Fury stated, in agreement with Natasha Romanoff. Clint Barton's (Hawkeye) family was arranged by him, and both his son and daughter were adorable. Even if he died, he wouldn't bring the war to their doorstep.

"So, is it me or Captain America?"

"Romanoff, although you are one of my most outstanding agents, don't forget that I'm the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I have equipment and personnel at my disposal. But I've been forced to go into hiding," Nick Fury looked between Natasha Romanoff and Captain America, Steve Rogers, and finally said, "This indicates that the force behind this assassination is incredibly powerful. If even I, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., can only hide, then I believe, Romanoff, you won't be able to protect me. I should seek the help of someone more formidable."

"So, your answer is Captain America."

"That's right," Nick Fury said, "I choose option C, Captain America, Steve Rogers."

"Correct answer! Reward granted!"

A highly futuristic skateboard with devices like turbines appeared on the ground.

"Is this the Green Goblin skateboard?" Tony Stark quickly approached to observe. "It looks technologically advanced, but I don't think it's meant for you to participate in a skateboarding competition, is it?"

"This skateboard can fly," Nick Fury immediately stepped on the skateboard and flew up.

"This is pretty cool," Natasha Romanoff's eyes lit up. "If we equip it with some weapons, it can be a formidable weapon."

"A formidable weapon?" Tony Stark shook his head, looking disdainful. "It's far inferior to my armor. Even the makeshift scrap I used when I was kidnapped in a cave is better than this piece of junk."

"You're right, Stark. This skateboard is nowhere near your armor," Nick Fury flew on the skateboard and landed in front of Tony Stark. "But this skateboard has one obvious advantage that your armor can never match."

"That's impossible!" Tony Stark immediately shook his head. "What does this skateboard have that my armor doesn't?"

"Cost," Nick Fury uttered two words indifferently.

"Are you saying this skateboard is cheap?"

"Stark, I'm leaving this skateboard to you." Nick Fury controlled the Green Goblin skateboard to land, stepping down from it. "The Chitauri will invade New York in two or three years, and during that time, we need to mass-produce these skateboards."

"Okay. At the same time, I'll develop suitable weapons to go with the skateboard," Tony Stark agreed without further complaints.

"Alexander Pierce, why did you want to assassinate me? What is your true identity?" A glint of coldness flashed in Nick Fury's one eye. He had made up his mind to investigate his former boss as soon as he got out.

At that moment, a new scene appeared in the space.

A black Chevrolet slowly drove up and stopped at the intersection, waiting for the traffic light. On the right side of the Chevrolet, a police car also stopped, with two police officers wearing sunglasses looking at Nick Fury.

"Do you want to see my driver's license?" Nick Fury asked the two police officers.

The police officers didn't say anything and drove away first.

"Fury, those two police officers are probably the assassins who want to kill you!" Natasha Romanoff couldn't help but say.

"But at that time, I obviously had no idea," Nick Fury said in a deep voice. "It seems like my vigilance wasn't enough."

As if confirming Natasha Romanoff's words, just as the police car had driven away, Nick Fury started his car, but at that moment, another police car approached from the left and collided directly with Nick Fury's Chevrolet.

Just as the police car in front of Nick Fury rapidly reversed, it collided with the black Chevrolet.

At the same moment, another police car approached from the rear and the right side of the Chevrolet, crashing into it.

In this way, the four police cars, from the front, rear, left, and right, converged, blocking Nick Fury's escape route. Soon after, several more police cars arrived, and more than a dozen police officers and SWAT team members emerged from the vehicles. Some were armed with handguns, while others carried submachine guns. They surrounded Nick Fury.

Ratatatatat...

In the next moment, a large number of bullets rained down, pouring onto the Chevrolet like a torrential downpour.

Hey, folks, those who have extra tickets, throw a couple to the author!
