“You… you!”
Donald seemed to hear the sound of something shattering — the sound of his worldview breaking apart.
He widened his eyes.
His entire face turned red from the rush of blood.
After a while, he slumped into a chair like a deflated balloon and said dejectedly:
“Damn normie!”
And just like that, under Leon’s relentless pestering, he successfully borrowed five thousand dollars.
Suddenly, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a mysterious figure walked inside.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit.
He wore sunglasses, and his leather shoes gleamed brightly.
“Welcome to Farrell Coffee Shop.”
Donald politely asked, “What would you like to order, sir?”
“Hello, is Mr.
Adams here?” the middle-aged man asked.
Hearing someone looking for him, Leon immediately froze and subconsciously looked over.
That kind-looking face.
That dangerously receding hairline…
Leon recognized the other party’s identity with just one glance.
Phil Coulson!
Leon knew exactly what the appearance of the Beginner Village Chief meant—
S.H.I.E.L.D.!
S.H.I.E.L.D.
was a line of defense standing between this world and worlds far stranger, preventing people from learning things they were not yet prepared to know, maintaining peace and freedom throughout the world.
For humanity’s safety, S.H.I.E.L.D.
had always protected this world and devoted itself to building a better one.
However, Leon felt that if S.H.I.E.L.D.
did not exist, this world might actually be safer.
Not to mention how much destruction S.H.I.E.L.D.
had caused, just its endless conflict with Hydra alone was enough to destroy Earth several times over.
And Coulson was practically the symbol of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although he was only an ordinary human, he played an extremely important role in the Marvel world.
Leon understood that after arriving in the Marvel world, interacting with S.H.I.E.L.D.
was inevitable.
But what he did not expect was for Agent Coulson to come knocking so soon.
Could it be they had already noticed the bank robbery incident?
Just as Leon was considering pretending not to be there, Donald beside him pointed directly at Leon.
“You’re looking for Leon?
He’s right here.”
Leon: “…”
Selling out your teammate again.
Wow, thank you so much!
With no other choice, Leon could only pretend not to know Coulson.
“May I ask who you are?”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Adams.”
“I am Agent Phil Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.”
Coulson removed his sunglasses, displayed his credentials, and spoke seriously.
Hearing this, Leon almost wanted to applaud him.
Good grief.
You can really say such a long name in one breath.
What a waste not becoming a comedian!
As the saying goes—
The S.H.I.E.L.D.
changes like flowing water, but Coulson remains eternal.
He was a senior S.H.I.E.L.D.
agent and Nick Fury’s most trusted subordinate.
The establishment of the Avengers could be said to owe him enormous credit.
Right.
Just look at that dangerously receding hairline on his head, and you could tell how hard he worked.
In the movies, Coulson had just been running around the Iron Man set one moment, and in the next, he rushed nonstop to New Mexico to investigate Thor’s hammer.
Then in The Avengers, in order to stop Loki’s scheme, he was pierced through the heart and heroically sacrificed himself.
Coulson’s sacrifice, Avengers’ infinite power.
His death directly inspired the Avengers to unite, leading to the first gathering of the Avengers and later the victory in the Battle of New York.
You think dying means you can finally get off work?
Too naive.
Not long after Coulson died, Director Fury used alien black technology to resurrect him, sending him right back into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where he continued fighting Hydra to the death and getting entangled with the Inhumans…
Even after dying once was not enough, good old Coulson’s second death still did not let him rest.
They even turned him into an android, implanted his memories, and gave him a fake resurrection.
No wonder when he first joined S.H.I.E.L.D.
in his youth, his hairline was completely normal.
Working this hard every day without going fully bald was already impressive enough!
“Mr.
Adams?”
Coulson noticed the other party staring at the top of his head and asked somewhat puzzledly.
“Oh, right.”
Leon snapped back to reality and quickly said, “Let’s not stand here.
Why don’t we sit down and talk?”
“Would you like some coffee?”
“A hot mocha, no sugar, thank you.” Coulson nodded with a smile.
“Got it, right away.”
Coulson found a seat in a corner.
He sat down and glanced around.
The environment of this coffee shop was actually pretty good.
It just lacked customers.
At this moment, he heard a conversation coming from the counter area.
Their voices were not quiet, so he could hear them very clearly.
“Leon, this guy looks like some government official.
You didn’t do something illegal, did you?”
I’m a law-abiding good citizen.
Even though I’m dirt poor right now, I still pay taxes!”
“Tch.
You got three girls pregnant in one month and still dare call yourself a good citizen?”
“Hmph.
That’s because your bro here is physically gifted.”
Hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Coulson’s face.
Actually, before coming here, he had already thoroughly investigated Leon’s background and information.
Leon Adams, twenty-five years old.
Parents divorced.
His mother passed away a few years ago.
No money.
Works at this coffee shop.
Because he was fairly handsome, he often frequented bars, nightclubs, and similar places, so his private life was extremely chaotic.
But getting three girls pregnant…
Did young people nowadays really play this hard?
Coulson helplessly shook his head and felt that he had truly grown old.
He subconsciously touched the sparse hair on his forehead.
Back when he was young, he had also been a handsome and dashing young man with thick hair.
Now, he simply no longer had the strength.
Ah, time truly spared no one…
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Just as middle-aged man Coulson was quietly lamenting his age, Leon finished making the coffee.
He carried the steaming cup over, placed it before Coulson, and then sat down opposite him.
“Alright, Mr.
Coulson, what exactly did you come to see me about?” Leon asked.
Even though he appeared calm on the surface, internally he was panicking badly.
He understood that Coulson’s arrival was probably related to the bank robbery from several days ago.
What he did not know was how much information the other party had already grasped, or how much they knew about him.
That uncertainty made him extremely uneasy.
To avoid exposing his secret, he had to remain careful and cautious.
However, even if Coulson was an elite S.H.I.E.L.D.
agent, Leon still possessed his own advantage.
That advantage was his familiarity with the Marvel world and his mastery of the Digimon System.
Only by exploiting this information gap could he fool clever people like Coulson and secure the initiative for himself!
“You were at the scene of the bank robbery that happened in Queens last Saturday, correct?” Coulson asked directly.
Leon nodded.
As expected, the other party really came because of that incident.
“Then regarding this person…”
Coulson’s expression turned serious.
He took out a tablet and opened a video on the screen.
“Do you still remember him?”
