Undoubtedly, Fury was back in his position.
It just wouldn't be as glorious as when he was the original director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Back then, S.H.I.E.L.D. was one of a kind.
"You're here earlier than I expected," Shen He glanced at the two people following Fury. "But it seems you're not doing so well either."
Saiki Kusuo had just told him that these two were actually from the military.
This was also expected.
People without their own strength could only resort to such petty tricks, euphemistically calling it checks and balances.
"Thanks to you," Fury got straight to the point. "When will you hand Loki over to us? Thor has already found his girlfriend."
Excessive concealment at this time would only make their private dealings more alarming to the World Security Council.
Better to just stick to the plan.
That is, Shen He couldn't withstand the pressure from Asgard, so he was willing to hand Loki over to them, but intentionally gave the credit to Fury.
"Whenever you're ready, but you'll need to prepare a cage. We'll personally escort him over," Shen He said with a meaningful look at him. "Don't let him escape. Nobody knows what he's planning."
Fury felt his eyelids twitch, almost wanting to refuse Loki.
However, Loki was one of the key conditions after his negotiation with the World Security Council, so there was no way to refuse. Rather, he had to take Loki, so that he could regain funding and support.
"We've already prepared a cage. It's the core S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Sandbox. It should be foolproof," Fury also felt helpless.
He had grown accustomed to working under various restrictions, and he knew that someone had to do this. He was the most suitable.
After experiencing so many things, or rather, witnessing so many incredible powers, Fury had also changed somewhat.
"Suit yourselves then." Shen He didn't care.
No matter what, Loki would run away anyway. He could just pass the blame.
"I have some other business this time." Fury looked around. "Aren't you going to let us in?"
They'd been here for so long, and Shen He had kept them waiting at the villa entrance.
"You just want to ask about Barton, right?" Shen He scoffed.
"Is Saiki Kusuo here too?" Fury immediately became alert, looking towards the door while clearing his mind.
Among Shen He's group, Saiki Kusuo was the one who made him the most wary.
Mind reading was the bane of an agent's existence.
"Fury." Shen He's expression turned serious. "Don't ask about Hawkeye anymore. Even Coulson and the others don't know. This involves Chaldea's principles. I only have one request for you and those behind you: don't interfere when the time comes. It won't just be a warning then."
After saying this, he walked directly inside, leaving them outside.
Fury was indeed unaware of the specifics of the alien army.
Not only that, Shen He also specifically instructed Coulson and the others not to tell him about the plan.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the bald-headed man, but it was better if he didn't know, given his current position.
Fury eventually left.
However, he took Agent Hill with him. She was the only one still on his side.
Building a new intelligence organization would require manpower.
After arriving at the villa, Shen He rubbed his face. He was really tired from acting so much lately.
If it weren't for the boost in his abilities, which also strengthened his thinking and logic, he really wouldn't be able to pull all this off.
"One of the two people beside him actually has a third identity," Saiki's voice echoed in his mind. "He's not just a military person; he also has ties to the Ten Rings."
"The Ten Rings?" Shen He raised an eyebrow, then sighed with some feeling, "Egghead's life isn't easy, is it?"
It seemed that this world's agents were full of traitors. Even the World Security Council, which was so high and mighty, couldn't find a capable and trustworthy subordinate.
However, the fact that the Ten Rings could infiltrate the military showed that they weren't as weak as they appeared in the movies.
"Let's go, Saiki," Shen He shook his head, putting these thoughts aside for now. "Let's go have dinner first."
Then, just on the night Egghead left, the virtual reality company released an announcement:
Due to the government's insistence on taking Loki away and rejecting the proposal for interrogation at Chaldea, Chaldea decided to hand Loki over to the government tomorrow for transport to the designated handover location, and would fully represent Asgard in discussions regarding the handling plan.
This announcement didn't trigger much of a public reaction.
After all, Chaldea had already proven that the number of people controlled by Loki wasn't that high.
However, some people clearly saw something unusual in this announcement.
The implication of shifting blame was obvious.
Fury even personally approached the World Security Council with a suggestion to keep Loki at Chaldea.
Unsurprisingly, it was rejected.
Even though they could see some risks, the World Security Council was unwilling to give up the opportunity to increase its strength and requested that a series of scientific research experts be ready; as soon as Loki and the scepter were in place, they would immediately begin research.
The next day, just before Loki was to be escorted away, Thor, who had found Jane, returned.
Jane had recovered, and Thor knew what had happened during this time.
"I want to personally escort Loki," Thor requested. "Although he has committed unforgivable crimes, he is still an Asgardian, my brother."
If he were to be imprisoned in Chaldea, he would be more at ease, but he was somewhat worried about being held by humans.
It was Jane who reminded him that those people might experiment on Loki.
"Alright," Shen He didn't know what to say.
Sometimes, he really doubted that Thor was a complete brother-con.
As soon as his girlfriend was safe and sound, he immediately cast aside his hatred and anger towards Loki, and began to worry about his safety.
The final escorts were decided to be Thor and Accelerator.
When the escort time arrived, the virtual reality company was completely surrounded by reporters.
This was Fury's arrangement.
In his words, Hawkeye knew the defenses of the sandbox base, and saving Loki on the road was their only chance.
This was an open plot, clearly telling Hawkeye, we have an ambush, if you want to save Loki, come over.
It's just a pity that Shen He could probably guess what would happen.
"Accelerator." Before leaving, Shen He quietly pulled Accelerator and instructed, "If Loki tries to escape, pretend to stop him for a bit, and then let him escape."
So many days had passed, presumably Hawkeye and the others had already prepared to open the space-time door.
Just waiting to rescue Loki.
