Chapter 113 A Circuitous Meeting
Maria Hill arrived at the Osborne Corporation building in a police car, wearing an NYPD uniform and large sunglasses, and then parked.
After observing his surroundings, he got out of the car and walked towards the Osborne Group building. He was stopped by security guards as soon as he entered. "Officer, is there anything I can help you with?"
"There's a case we need to ask McCall Roberts about. Does he work here?" Maria Hill was just McCall; he was Jessica's driver, so the Osborne Group's security wouldn't obstruct her excessively.
Meanwhile, the Hydra lurking here wouldn't care too much.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll call him over right away." The security guard took out his walkie-talkie and made the call.
McCall and Frank still went to work every day. Both of them were widowed, and Frank's children had also died. They were both alone.
Link gave them his old apartment to live in, and they didn't have to pay rent. The two got along very peacefully.
The situation is special, but the two of them still come to the group building every day to be on standby, which is normal work.
This is their lounge, which is provided for the drivers; the group's management all have their own drivers.
McCall was puzzled. Why would the police come looking for him? Could it be that the CIA had found him?
He went to the lobby on the first floor and saw Maria Hill in a police uniform, but his intuition told him that she was not a police officer.
"Officer?" He walked over and called out.
"McCall?" Maria Hill didn't remove her sunglasses; the large lenses obscured half her face. "I have some questions for you. Shall we talk over there?"
"Okay!" McCall saw that since the other party hadn't suggested leaving, there was no need to refuse.
The two walked aside, and Maria Hill finally spoke, "I'm from S.H.I.E.L.D., my name is Maria Hill, and I need to see Lin!"
Upon hearing this, McCall finally understood. He knew some of the current situation; Jessica hadn't hidden anything from him and Frank.
One was her driver, and the other was her bodyguard; both were people she could trust.
After all, if there's anything that needs to be done outside, they'll need each of them for protection.
"How can I trust you?" McCall asked.
"I know who you are. You're very wary, but you just need to tell Lin, and he'll believe me." Maria Hill didn't need the other person to believe her. "I came here under a pretext just to avoid suspicion. There are many people watching us here."
McCall understood, so he took out his phone and dialed Link's number directly. "Mr. Link, a Ms. Maria Hill wants to see you!"
"Bring her up!" Link wasn't surprised; Nick Fury was indeed alive. If he were dead, he wouldn't have been resurrected so quickly.
McCall hung up the phone and said, "Come with me!"
He then led her to the elevator, a relatively secluded spot where no one would be watching, and the two entered the private elevator.
He went up to the top floor, and as soon as the elevator opened, Link stood at the elevator entrance.
"You come in too, McCall. We'll need you later!" Link then looked at Maria Hill and said, "Looks like Fury really isn't dead. Does he know what's going on?"
"Project Insight... Fury had previously decided to temporarily halt Project Insight, but this is..." Maria Hill wanted to explain the specifics.
However, Link interrupted her, saying, "I know. The three fully armed space carriers use Dr. Zola's algorithm to calculate and find those who pose a threat to Hydra, and then eliminate them all."
"..." Maria Hill was taken aback. "It seems you know more than we do!"
"That USB drive was a trap. It was located in a former S.H.I.E.L.D. base that's now abandoned," Link said. "Dr. Zola converted his thought patterns into data and stored them away, which is equivalent to giving him back—that he's still alive."
"He designed the algorithm, but for us Avengers, three space carriers are just a target."
"If they dare to take off, we dare to shoot them down. But the most serious problem right now isn't Project Insight, but S.H.I.E.L.D. itself."
"It's difficult to distinguish between you and Hydra. What are your plans?"
Maria Hill said, "Frey wants to see you. Is there any way to get there?"
"Of course!" Link nodded, "But it would be best to bring Nick Fury to Avengers headquarters!"
"The other places aren't very safe right now, and he must be badly injured, right?"
"He is indeed badly injured, but the road to Avengers headquarters is under surveillance, so he can't get there at all." Maria Hill frowned; Link couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
Link is preparing to use the Space Stone. S.H.I.E.L.D. is basically finished now, and Captain America won't allow it to exist.
Link had considered keeping S.H.I.E.L.D., but then he realized that arguing with Captain America about it wouldn't be worth it.
He was just there to make a cameo appearance, but his current dominant position is also related to Nick Fury, since he had previously interacted with most of the Avengers.
Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man all owe him favors.
Moreover, his foresight, rational analysis, and especially the application of psychology enabled him to become the leader of the Avengers.
This is only temporary. After all, the Avengers are too disorganized. As the number of people increases, opinions will naturally not be unified. At that time, the leader will simply talk about reason and let the minority obey the majority.
Since S.H.I.E.L.D. is basically finished, the Space Stone can be exposed, and even the Power Stone can be mentioned.
After all, he sold the Power Gem!
"I have a way of doing it. Tell me the location!" Link said.
Maria Hill gave him the location, and Link thought for a moment. He knew the place, but he had never been there.
It was a huge air-raid shelter of a dam, with a long history, but it has been abandoned for a long time.
Link said, "You and McCall go down, drive away in the police car, and don't arouse suspicion."
"I'll pick up Tony and Bruce, take them to Avengers headquarters, and then pick up Fury and you."
"Okay!" Maria Hill didn't know what Link was going to do, but she now understood that this man wouldn't speak without reason.
So she and McCall took the elevator down, and McCall escorted her out of the building.
Maria Hill drove away in her police car. She's no ordinary woman, and she certainly wouldn't go back with anyone.
However, having a tail isn't a big deal, since Link is faster than her.
