CHAPTER 431 THE INVESTIGATION (1/2)
New York, on the top floor of the Stark Industries Building, Tony did not move after hanging up on Lin Rui, he sat quietly in a chair for a while. Tony wasn’t very calm after knowing the news of Lin Rui being still alive. In fact, he was also very surprised. The calmness of the tone on the phone was pretended.

“This kid!” Finally, after calming down his excitement, Tony stood up from his chair after saying something to himself.
“JARVIS, how many guests do we have coming here tonight?” Tony slowly asked JARVIS as he walked towards the open-air platform outside the top floor of Stark Industrial Building.
“Sir, after receiving the news, Mr. Peter Parker was already on the road, and he is about a minute away. And Mr. Daredevil will probably arrive at the same time as Spiderman.
On the X-Men side, Professor Charles had just sent a message, they are already on the way. As for Captain Rogers, he seems to be still at the headquarters of s.h.i.+ELD and will not come for the time being.” Hearing Tony’s inquiry, JARVIS replied immediately.
Before Lin Rui told JARVIS to tell others that he was still alive, JARVIS actually notified Rogers from s.h.i.+ELD and Professor Charles from X-Men other than the League of Defenders.
“Why didn’t Rogers come? Looks like something did go wrong with him. JARVIS, pay more attention to the s.h.i.+ELD. If Rogers needs our help, I don’t mind putting in some effort. After all, we ‘re on the same team!” Tony’s eyes flashed after hearing JARVIS’s answer.
…
After the operation against Hydra ended yesterday, in addition to the big event of Red Skull and Mirage Knight’s death, a big event also happened inside s.h.i.+ELD after the operation ended. That is, as the director of s.h.i.+ELD: Fury was investigated by the World Security Council.
It was a sudden investigation against Fury. Many mistakes Fury made while serving as s.h.i.+ELD’s Director and some unnecessary personnel sacrificed were turned out. Among them, letting Hydra lurk inside s.h.i.+ELD was the biggest accusation.
Fury, who had always been calm also panicked at this sudden investigation and various accusations against him. Fury wasn’t unaware that the World Security Council had always had a problem with him, but he really didn’t expect them to take any actions against him.
Not to mention that Fury has been with s.h.i.+ELD for so many years and has a loyal staff, who can replace him if they want to kick him out? Fury can’t think of anyone.
s.h.i.+ELD is not some random organization, it needs someone who could hold down the fort. The World Security Council wouldn’t have allowed Fury to be s.h.i.+ELD’s Director for so many years and tolerate Fury’s autocratic style if they were qualified or had anyone else for the job.
However, Fury seems to have forgotten that compared to the popularity and prestige he has acc.u.mulated within s.h.i.+ELD for so many years, there is another person who would be able to compare himself if he is willing to stand up.
That is Captain America Steve·Rogers, this Nationwide Superhero is also a very popular figure within s.h.i.+ELD. If Rogers was really willing to stand up, Fury’s ousting would be a sure thing. The question is, will Rogers stand up?
