Chapter 71: People from S.H.I.E.L.D.
“So, you saved me back then actually just for J.A.R.V.I.S.?”
Tony finally looked up. His face seemed calm, but beneath that calmness, it was hard to hide a hint of anger and questioning!
Wei Ziqing nodded without any concealment.
The words had already been spoken, so what else was there to say? Moreover, this had been his original intention!
Tony’s expression became somewhat distorted. Wei Ziqing knew clearly that if Tony were wearing the Iron Man Armor right now, he would definitely start a fight with him.
He needed friends!
And he had regarded Wei Ziqing as a friend, only to discover in the end that his friend had been calculating against him every step of the way from the very beginning!
Wei Ziqing could understand this feeling of being betrayed!
Taking a deep breath, Tony’s distorted face returned to a calm state. The kindness in his eyes when looking at Wei Ziqing was gone, replaced by strangeness. He said coldly, “Regardless of whether you were calculating or not, I, Tony, still owe you a favor. I will not give you J.A.R.V.I.S., but I can give you an artificial intelligence that is no less than J.A.R.V.I.S. In three days, I will have someone deliver it to you. As for the Longevity Potion…”
At this point, Tony sneered, “That was just a joke left behind by my father. In this world, no one can achieve Longevity. You want it? Absolutely impossible!”
After speaking, he ignored Wei Ziqing and turned around to leave.
“An artificial intelligence, is it finally in my hands?”
Looking at Tony’s departing back and listening to his words, Wei Ziqing stood in place, feeling slightly dazed.
Coming to the world of Iron Man, what he wanted was the J.A.R.V.I.S. artificial intelligence. However, now that he was about to get this intelligence, there was not much joy in his heart.
On the contrary, he felt a bit lost.
At this moment, he realized that he had already come to regard Tony as a friend.
And with Tony’s departure, Wei Ziqing knew clearly that from this day forward, he and Tony could never be friends again.
Because a barrier had already formed between the two of them.
As for the Longevity Potion, Wei Ziqing believed Tony had no reason to lie to him!
The original story never mentioned that Howard had secretly researched a Longevity Potion within Stark, but since it existed here, it must have existed in the original story as well!
As for why it never appeared, there was only one possibility: this Longevity Potion had never succeeded.
This made Wei Ziqing feel somewhat disappointed. Since it had not succeeded, and based on what he had just heard in the laboratory, he knew that he probably could not get this Longevity Potion.
Although he might enter a Xianxia World in the future, practice immortal arts, and achieve Longevity.
However, among thousands of worlds, entering a Xianxia World by chance was definitely not that easy. Perhaps after visiting dozens of Planes, he still would not have entered one.
By that time, he would probably have already turned into dry bones!
But because of the appearance of this Longevity Potion, Wei Ziqing suddenly realized one thing: if he had enough talented people, he could create a Longevity Potion himself!
This was no different from an alternative pursuit of his quest for Longevity!
As for his current relationship with Tony…
Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing sighed softly. Let everything take its natural course!
He would return in three years. If he could enter the Marvel World again next time, whether Tony would still recognize him was an unknown!
Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing also left.
However, just as he stepped out of Stark Tower, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
In front of him, a black sedan was parked. Beside the car, a man wearing a black suit was standing there. When he saw Wei Ziqing appear, a glint of light shone in his eyes.
Clearly, this man was waiting for him?
“Who is this?” Wei Ziqing frowned. This person was clearly coming for him, but he didn’t think he had ever met this man before.
“Hello, Mr. Wei!” Just as Wei Ziqing was wondering about the man’s identity, the man had already taken a few quick steps to Wei Ziqing’s side and greeted him with a smile.
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face. Moreover, Wei Ziqing noticed that the man did not have much hostility toward him. After a slight hesitation, he nodded to the man.
“You are…”
“I am Agent Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. I wonder if Mr. Wei has time to chat with me about a few things?”
Hearing this, Wei Ziqing was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that the person in front of him was actually the famous Coulson from Marvel!
Who was Coulson? The future acting director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, also known as S.H.I.E.L.D.!
He actually came to find him?
Did that not mean that S.H.I.E.L.D. had come looking for him?
In the original story, people from S.H.I.E.L.D. had also looked for Tony, but Wei Ziqing forgot what it was for. It seemed to be about The Avengers, but then again, maybe not…
And now they were looking for him, but for what reason?
Though somewhat puzzled, after hesitating for a moment, Wei Ziqing still nodded. He also wanted to know why Coulson had come to find him.
The two of them did not go to any secret place; instead, they found a nearby cafe.
“Speak. What do you people from S.H.I.E.L.D. want with me?” After sitting down, Wei Ziqing asked directly.
“S.H.I.E.L.D.?” Hearing this, Coulson was stunned. When did the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division become “S.H.I.E.L.D.”? Why didn’t he know?
Wei Ziqing froze for a second, then laughed at himself. He had forgotten that at this time, the name S.H.I.E.L.D. had not appeared yet. He said indifferently, “S.H.I.E.L.D. is an abbreviation. After all, your name is truly…”
Coulson then smiled and said, “Indeed, many people say our name is too long. We have thought about changing it, but we were troubled because we couldn’t find a good replacement. Thank you for this, Mr. Wei. You’ve saved us from a difficult problem.”
Wei Ziqing was truly bewildered now. It turned out that not only was the Iron Man Armor his idea, but now even the name S.H.I.E.L.D. was his doing!
Coulson did not know what Wei Ziqing was thinking. The smile on his face vanished, and he became somewhat serious.
“Mr. Wei, this time, we from S.H.I.E.L.D. have come to you because we want to ask you one thing!”
Seeing Coulson’s face become serious, Wei Ziqing also became solemn and asked, “What is it?”
“Who exactly are you?”
Coulson became completely serious. He had no choice but to be serious!
A Huaxia man who suddenly appeared, not only saved Tony Stark but also used strange methods to fight his way through a group of base personnel. This level of strength was beyond their control!
What shocked them even more was that S.H.I.E.L.D. had used all available means and yet could not find any information about this person, as if he had appeared out of thin air. This was the reason why Coulson had appeared here!
He had to know if the person in front of him was a friend or a foe!
And what purpose he had for appearing in the United States!
