With ample funding, the Mutant Academy has begun its reconstruction.
The construction site is changing rapidly.
With Magneto's help, the mutant academy can be restored to its original state in a few months.
Xu Fu was also very relieved.
Charles handled everything, which put his mind at ease.
They returned to their previous lives.
Aside from taking a little time each day to check on things, he spends most of his time fishing.
His luck wasn't good during this period.
We didn't catch anything of value.
I improved a lot of attributes just by checking in.
Their strength is also slowly increasing.
Xu Fu was very satisfied with this peaceful life.
"It's quite rare to see someone so relaxed here."
A hoarse voice sounded.
Xu Fu turned around and saw a one-eyed man emerge from the woods.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is really amazing; they can even find such a remote place."
"remote?"
Nick Fury couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Indeed, while Lake Alkali was very beautiful, it was also quite a remote place.
What do you mean by remote now! Xu Fu's battle shattered the mountains here, leaving the ground riddled with craters and large holes everywhere.
This directly increased the area of the original Lake Alkali by at least a hundred times.
These past few days, with the continuous influx of river water...
This original mountain range has now been transformed into a vast lake.
Xu Fu actually had the nerve to say this place was remote! How could he say that! It was precisely because he was deeply afraid of Xu Fu's strength that he came all this way.
Otherwise, why would the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. come here so eagerly?
Is he bored out of his mind? Doesn't he have any pride? Xu Fu naturally wouldn't easily try to read other people's thoughts.
He turned around and smiled at Nick Fury.
“Please have a seat, Director Fury. Let’s talk.”
Nick Fury remained calm, his face expressionless.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Of course, we need to talk about your S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I'd really like to know, why did S.H.I.E.L.D. do absolutely nothing when mutants were attacked before?"
Xu Fu's voice gradually turned cold, and he exuded a sharp aura.
The immense pressure made Nick Fury's throat a little dry.
"This is not within the scope of our S.H.I.E.L.D. jurisdiction."
Nick Fury spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Yeah?"
"Isn't this what your 757th Strategic Homeland Defense and Logistics Agency does?"
"You're called S.H.I.E.L.D., not because you're supposed to protect humanity? Protect the Earth?"
"Why are mutants not considered human?"
"Wasn't what happened before a dereliction of duty by S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Isn't this your responsibility? I think it's because you think mutants are a destabilizing factor."
Xu Fu's expression turned hostile, and his aura grew increasingly powerful, causing Nick Fury to feel immense pressure.
Nick Fury is speechless.
Because Xu Fu was right.
Perhaps deep down he thought the disappearance of mutants was a good thing.
But they absolutely cannot say such things, nor can they do them! S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot openly do such things.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is there to protect humanity; it is a positive force.
He had previously stood by and watched as mutants were slaughtered; he received the news but did not warn anyone.
You know these things, but you absolutely must not say them.
Nick Fury, a man of great composure, spoke without changing his expression.
"We at S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot interfere with the actions of higher-ups."
"The UN Security Council will not allow us to do this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fuyi curled his lip.
That's utter nonsense.
How many bad things have you, Nick Fury, done behind the backs of the World Security Council? S.H.I.E.L.D. has at least several thousand hidden bases that even the World Security Council is unaware of.
Non-interference in the actions of high-level officials? That's utter nonsense!
But.
There are some things that everyone knows, but no one can say; that's human nature.
Xu Fu didn't intend to pursue the matter with S.H.I.E.L.D. anyway, S.H.I.E.L.D. was not far from being disbanded.
Xu Fu was merely trying to gain the upper hand, occupy the moral high ground, and extort more money from the other party.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has countless human resources and manpower! It's only natural that they would take some out to support their academy.
Education should never be neglected, no matter how poor we are.
Not to mention, he also needs Nick Fury to provide him with intelligence.
"Ah."
"This explanation is far-fetched."
"But next, let's discuss the issue of compensation from S.H.I.E.L.D."
Xu Fu said with a smile.
"compensation?"
Nick Fury gasped, almost laughing in exasperation.
He served as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for such a long time.
He's always the one asking for compensation; this is the first time someone has asked him for compensation.
The compensation claim is now being directed at S.H.I.E.L.D.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat them! Nick Fury felt frustrated, but he could only endure it.
He spoke with a cold expression.
"I don't think S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to pay compensation."
(bbai) "We don't owe you anything, and we've even helped rescue a lot of mutants."
Xu Fu continued to look at Nick Fury with a mocking expression.
"No debt?"
"Then tell me, why were these mutants arrested?"
"If mutants cause injury or death due to loss of control of their powers, we have no objection to them being punished by law."
"But these mutants were captured and taken to laboratories."
"Isn't this S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibility?"
"If they can't even protect ordinary people, they might be arbitrarily abducted and subjected to cruel human experiments."
"What do you think is the purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D.? What is its necessity?"
"Is it still 1939 now?"
Xu Fu looked at Nick Fury with a mocking and disdainful expression.
Xu Fu didn't really identify with the mutant race.
As long as it is handled according to the law, Xu Fu will absolutely not say anything.
But the major organizations in this world are completely inhumane! They conduct cruel human experiments on mutants, scenes that no one could tolerate.
