My last name is Stark after I changed my job to become a female musketeer?

"Are you planning to restart Project Pegasus again?"

Coulson looked at his director in disbelief.

【Pegasus Project】

The unified name within S.H.I.E.L.D. for all research involving the Cosmic Cube has been restarted several times by S.H.I.E.L.D. since the first project leader Howard Stark.

The most recent restart was the Cosmic Cube ∞ experiment conducted at a secret base two years ago.

As a direct participant in that pilot plan, Coulson understood what it would mean after reading this document.

Nick Fury looked at the subordinate he trusted in front of him and said calmly:

"What do you think?"

Coulson frowned. He couldn't tell how determined he was about this plan from his director's face.

After a moment of silence, Colson did not immediately open the information, but said frankly:

"Director, I actually don't think now is a good time to restart this plan."

As an old man who has followed Nick Fury for many years, Coulson is not worried that his outspoken advice will have any negative impact on him.

He just felt he needed to remind Nick Fury that the risks of this plan were still to be assessed.

“Whether it is in terms of energy or weapons and equipment, we now have no shortage of scientific research technology in these two fields.

If we continue to invest a lot of money in this plan, will we lose more than we gain? "

Nick Fury didn't refute this, and Coulson's idea was very pertinent.

"Whether it's Stark or Leni, their technology is obviously very mature and they work closely with us.

SHIELD could directly ask for their help through technology purchase, instead of continuing to invest a large amount of R\u0026D funds into the bottomless pit of the Pegasus Project.

Therefore, I personally do not think it is necessary for SHIELD to restart this plan at the moment. "

Nodding, Director Fury remained silent for a while and changed the question to Coulson:

"How highly do you think Leni recognizes S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Unexpectedly, his director would ask this question. Coulson was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Nick Fury sat back in his chair and glanced at the portfolio he had placed in the folder.

"It was my instruction to recruit her into SHIELD. At that time, it was just to repay a favor to someone. I didn't expect that it would turn into what it is now."

Coulson was surprised. The amount of information contained in these few sentences was really huge.

"You...have known Leni for a long time?"

"It's not an acquaintance. Like I said, she's just someone I randomly arranged to join SHIELD in order to return a favor to a certain guy."

The director shook his head, not wanting to mention it more, but continued to talk about Leni.

"At least I didn't meet her before that incident."

Nick Fury's eyes were deep, as if he was remembering.

"Leni once thought that SHIELD was a safe haven to hide from worldly gossip, because she had nowhere to go but here."

Colson didn't interrupt anymore and just listened quietly.

"But after gaining power, SHIELD's nature towards her changed, and she no longer needed her here. On the contrary, this place began to need her."

Nick Fury took out an alchemical crystal from his arms and played with it repeatedly.

"The current SHIELD has lost the meaning of trust for her, and she can completely leave here."

But she didn't.

Colson replied silently in his heart.

From his point of view, Leni has not changed much, and her attitude towards SHIELD has not changed much from the beginning to the end.

"You may feel that her attitude towards SHIELD has always been this way. She needs SHIELD to provide convenience for her, and SHIELD needs the technology she provides."

Looking at the crystal clear alchemy crystal in his hand, Nick Fury frowned.

"But this means that her dependence on SHIELD is extremely low, even to the point where she can give up at any time."

As soon as he said this, Coulson couldn't help but recall the scene when Leni asked him to contact General Ross for air support in New Mexico.

In Leni's mind, can SHIELD no longer be able to give her more help?

Coulson somewhat understood what the director meant.

"But what about us? Whether it's alchemy potions, new energy technology, or even new weapon technology, I am restricted by her and Stark.

If these two people join forces, they can completely ignore the firewall of SHIELD's database if they want to. "

In the past, Leni had a deep interest relationship with SHIELD.

Leni needs to use SHIELD's tiger skin to gain convenience in various fields, and at the same time use SHIELD to improve her own strength and gain economy.

S.H.I.E.L.D. also needs to use the alchemy technology and space capabilities provided by Leni to obtain benefits from all forces.

Both parties get what they need and benefit each other.

However, the situation is different now. Leni no longer needs SHIELD to provide her with financial and material resources. Stark Industries' shares have already helped her earn enough US dollars.

Even when facing threats, Leni began to shift from seeking help from SHIELD to the military.

General Ross even took the initiative to pay a visit to Tony Stark not long ago.

Looking back at S.H.I.E.L.D., I don’t know when the agents there have been eager to complete the mission with Leni.

Because Lainie can guarantee their safety, and they don't have to worry about resource supply during the mission.

So many people now regard Lainie as the new leader of SHIELD, and her popularity once surpassed Nick Fury himself.

This makes Director Fury feel very threatening, he doesn't think Lainie is a good leader.

And it turns out that Lainie is not.

"I understand."

After sorting out all the interests, Coulson nodded clearly.

"But... I still think Lainie will not betray SHIELD."

Nick Fury did not comment and got himself a glass of water.

"Of course, I also hope that I can trust her, but as the head of SHIELD, I must not put my money on one person."

Coulson didn't say anything more, just took the confidential document called [Pegasus Project] again.

"Oh, by the way, before you look at that file, I personally recommend that you take a look at another file on my desk. Maybe you will be more interested in that file."

Nick Fury drank a glass of water to moisten his throat, and motioned Coulson to get another file in the folder.

Coulson was puzzled.

Didn't the director tell him so much just to let him continue to be the person in charge of the Pegasus Project?

What does it mean to prepare another file for me?

Closing the folder that had not been fully opened, Coulson reached out and took another folder with the same SHIELD logo.

Without hesitation, he opened it directly and saw four big words:

[Snowman Project]
