Chapter 7, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Xu Nuo promised to wash away all the dust and fatigue accumulated over the past few days, finding a brand new designer shirt and trousers from the wardrobe to wear, making him feel refreshed and invigorated. He had never used such high-end luxury brands before. However, he had seen the big boss wear them when he was at the company, and indeed, it felt different.

"Goodness, this time I really exchanged my life for a future." Looking at the bandaged wound on his chest, Xu Nuo couldn't help but smile bitterly. At that moment, he had no idea what was going through his mind; he actually ran over to block the bullet. If he were to be taken out by some unknown extra, that would truly be a huge loss.

After a moment of silence, the sound of the ring echoed, "People like you, who are willing to give, generally achieve success. It is only fitting that you enjoy the fruits of your success in the future"

Struggling to open his eyes and adapt to the surroundings, Xu Nuo, with a bewildered expression, first saw a charming face adorned with a seductive little mustache, belonging to Tony Stark.

"National Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, Level 8 Agent Phil Coulson." After flashing his credentials in front of Xu Nuo, Agent Phil was slightly taken aback and looked at Xu Nuo with some confusion, "You don't seem surprised. Have you heard of our department?"

However, this time, during his time of misfortune, two individuals extended their kindness to him, allowing him to return home alive. Such a life-saving grace is undoubtedly a prime example of reciprocation in the heart of someone as proud as Stark

At this moment, the agent from Field looked at Xu Nuo with a vigilant expression. This might be a professional habit, after all, Xu Nuo is of Asian descent and has appeared beside an important figure like Stark. For these public officials, it inevitably leads to a flurry of thoughts.

With a face that exudes honesty and sincerity, this person was bullied in school for being a good student and remained low-key at work, never having a chance to stand out. However, everything changed when such a person entered S.H.I.E.L.D.

Agent Phil's words made Xu Nuo's heart skip a beat. These American agents are truly remarkable, managing to investigate the address associated with his identity in such a short time. Of course, they would find nothing. Xu Nuo is not a person from this world at all

This shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?" Xu Nuo said with a smile as she looked at Agent Phil, "As far as I know, Stark is not an employee of the U.S. government, right? Even if there is some kind of compensation, it should come from Stark, what does it have to do with the U.S. government?"

It is not fair to blame him for his slow reaction, as he was originally an ordinary person who experienced interactions with terrorists, intense gun battles, injuries, unconsciousness, and even drug anesthesia. It is entirely normal for him to be unable to process everything in his mind all at once. If he were to accept everything without any signs of abnormality, that would indeed be a problem. This is certainly not something that an ordinary person can accept in a short period of time. If he were to accept everything without any signs of abnormality, that would indeed be a problem.

"I must say, you are truly someone who is willing to go to any lengths to achieve your goals. I am somewhat impressed by you." A somewhat abrupt voice echoed in Xunuo's mind. After a brief moment of surprise, Xunuo recalled the matter regarding the ring.

Where is this place? The voice, somewhat hoarse, belonged to Xu Nuo, who looked up in confusion and surveyed the surroundings. This was a luxuriously decorated bedroom. The only thing Xu Nuo could be certain of was that this was definitely not the ceiling he was familiar with, as the decor here was simply too extravagant. In contrast, there wasn't even wallpaper in Xu Nuo's rental apartment.

The suit he bought for several hundred dollars has disappeared, and he has changed into a looser outfit. It is uncertain whether the beautiful nurse changed his clothes, but it seems unlikely. The wound on his chest still aches slightly, but it is neatly bandaged and appears to be no longer a serious issue

There is no way. Xu Nuo let out a long sigh, lying straight back on the extremely soft bed. Closing his eyes, he murmured softly, "If I want to change my fate, how can I do it without making an effort? If I don't strive when I have the chance, I fear I will never forgive myself in the future"

Then, memories surged back into his mind like a tide. He was an ordinary person, living a life of obscurity, who suddenly gained the ability to traverse worlds with the help of a magical ring. He arrived in the world of Iron Man to obtain the armor and fulfill the task assigned by the ring, thereby gaining the opportunity to change his own destiny

After several days of eating the black mush in the cave, Xu Nuo's stomach began to rumble, and he now had an intense craving for hamburgers.

Xunuo did not believe that Agent Field was specifically staying here to have breakfast with him. If he was not mistaken, this busy Level 8 agent must have come for Stark.

Phil Coulson, an Agent of Level 8 in S.H.I.E.L.D. A person who does not stand out, yet possesses extraordinary abilities. He is an indispensable and significant character in the entire Avengers universe

When Xu Nuo met Phil Coulson in the Stark family's living room, he realized that this world was not merely the world of Iron Man. Agent Coulson's words further confirmed Xu Nuo's assessment.

"Mr. Xu Nuo," Agent Phil's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Mr. Stark is an American, and we must certainly uphold American interests." At this point, Agent Phil suddenly narrowed his eyes, casting a playful glance at Xu Nuo, "On the contrary, Mr. Xu Nuo, we began investigating your information right after you and Stark boarded the plane back to America. Unexpectedly, we made some astonishing discoveries."

This is my home. Stark, who had let out a sigh of relief, stood up, at which point the gradually regaining consciousness Promise noticed that a group of people was standing behind Stark

Because the performance was overly intense, it was actually due to the unexpected failure of the homemade bulletproof vest to withstand the close-range assault rifle bullets, which inadvertently made the performance more authentic... Then I lost consciousness, and what happened afterward...

Stark patted Xu Nuo on the shoulder, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then turned to walk towards the door, simultaneously instructing his bodyguard, "Go buy me a hamburger."

In this context, it is entirely normal for Phil, as a top agent, to approach Xu Nuo for negotiations

Xu Nuo's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained a completely expressionless gaze at Agent Phil, "Oh? What could possibly surprise Mr. Agent?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that the U.S. government must take measures to protect heavyweight technological talents like Stark. However, it is quite unexpected that Xu Nuo, as a person from Huaxia, suddenly appeared by Stark's side and formed a deep friendship with him. It is important to note that the U.S. government cannot control a strong figure like Stark. If Xu Nuo were to make any demands to Stark that the U.S. government deemed unreasonable, it would fall under the category of "impacting the strategic security of the United States." Such matters must be nipped in the bud beforehand.

"I don't know," he shrugged nonchalantly. "Mr. Level 8 Agent, what brings you to me?" How could he possibly not know? The renowned S.H.I.E.L.D. has become even more famous than the CIA due to the continuous release of Marvel movies.

Only after a large group of people had left the house did Xu Nuo have the time to check on his own situation

Hehe. Xu Nuo squinted her smiling eyes, wearing a proud expression, "However, since we have survived this great calamity, the benefits should be forthcoming. One must invest to reap rewards"

"We have successfully escaped." Stark, with his right arm still in a sling, smiled at Xu Nuo, "Your injury is quite serious, so we administered a sedative during the surgery on the plane. The effects of the medication are just wearing off now." After a pause, Stark's voice continued, "My friend, you should rest well here. I need to attend a press conference now. We will have a good talk when I return."

Leaving the room and heading towards the living room, Xu Nuo intended to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. Unfortunately, she encountered someone she did not wish to see in the living room

Ordinary people generally exhibit noticeable emotional fluctuations, if not fear, when encountering professionals like us, yet Mr. Xuannuo showed no reaction at all. This is indeed quite strange. Agent Phil sneered, "We have investigated you, but all your information is classified, and even our personnel could not uncover anything. We even urgently dispatched someone to your hometown for an investigation, yet we found no trace of your past existence.

When Ethan had already passed away, Stark entrusted all his kindness and the friendship forged in adversity to Promises

"My friend, you have finally woken up." Seeing the bewildered expression on Xu Nuo's face, Stark, relieved of a heavy burden, secretly let out a sigh of relief and smiled as he nodded at Xu Nuo

A glance around revealed many familiar faces. The frequently appearing Colonel, the red-haired confidante of Stark, the humorous chubby man who serves as Stark's personal boxing coach and bodyguard, along with a large group of individuals in black clothing. Among them, if I am not mistaken, should be the well-known S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 8 agent Phil Coulson.

As a person who is actually very proud at heart, Stark is not one to readily accept favors from others. However, under normal circumstances, there is no one who could offer him such favors anyway

Xu Nuo smirked and did not comment on the ring. She got up and went into the bathroom attached to the bedroom to take a refreshing shower. As for the wound, who would be foolish enough to directly wash water over it

"Mr. Xu Nuo," Agent Phil adjusted his words, "First of all, on behalf of the United States government, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your contribution in the rescue of Stark. We will provide you with appropriate compensation in return."
