Three days ago, when Nick Frey left Hell's Kitchen, he felt like he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember what it was.
He knew that Nagini would take revenge on Eden, but that was certain.
Nick Frey was well aware of Eden's vindictive personality.
Although Nagini was a great man of morals, he was a man of great morals.
But most of the time, Nagini's heart was as black as his own.
But for some reason, Nick Frey felt that the way Nagini looked at Eden wasn't right. It was as if he was looking at a dead man.
But after thinking about it, Frey dismissed this thought. There were two reasons.
First, based on his understanding of Nagini, he didn't think that Eden would kill an innocent life because of a quarrel. Although Eden wasn't innocent, at least in this case, he didn't deserve to die.
Especially because of the Carol incident, Nick Frey subconsciously thought that Nagini was a good person. Besides, how bad could a 16 year old kid be?
The second reason was because of Wilson.
At this moment, New York's underworld was in a special state of balance. Some wanted to break the balance, while others wanted to maintain the balance. But no matter if it was the radical or conservative faction, they wouldn't break the balance at this time.
The bird that pokes its head out gets shot. Who would make a move at this time?
Whether it was for their own benefit, or to satisfy the higher-ups of America, the rest of the underworld would gang up and attack.
Nagini killing Eden meant that Wilson and Eden were at war. Even if Eden's forces were defeated in the end, it wouldn't be long before Wilson was finished as well.
Nick Frey was very envious of the relationship between Nagini and Wilson. Because if he was Wilson, Nagini wouldn't kill Eden because of the first reason.
But there was nothing he could do. Nick Frey knew very well what kind of person he was. He couldn't be Wilson, he could only be Nick Frey!
However, just three days after the incident ended …
His old friend, the director of S.H.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce.
This big shot suddenly came to his office, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at him with an encouraging and approving gaze.
"Frey, I wasn't wrong. You're good. Frey."
Nick Frey was a little confused. He didn't know what was going on, but from his friend's expression, Frey guessed that it was something good, so he nodded:
"It's nothing, this is what I should do!"
The current director of S.H.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce.
At this moment, he looked at Nick Frey with a complicated expression.
In the end, he shook his head, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to be so humble. Good luck, I have faith in you!"
After saying that, Alexander Pierce left with a happy expression. Not long after he left, Nick Frey received a document. He would be going to the World Security Council before Lincoln Day in February next year to take the assessment of S.H.E.L.D. as a ninth-level agent.
The huge surprise slammed heavily on his thinning head.
Nick Frey was a little confused. He wasn't surprised, but rather panicked because he didn't know what was going on!
It wasn't until the mayor of New York City called and the other party mockingly mentioned the 1.8 billion USD donation that Nick Frey gradually began to realize what was going on.
In the next few hours, Nick Frey did a few things.
The first thing was to investigate Eden's death. In Nick Frey's investigation, he found that Eden had mysteriously disappeared that night after entering the hospital in New York.
Although the official report was that he was missing, the explosion in Brooklyn some time ago was also reported as missing.
Because of the investigation of the first thing, Nick Frey inadvertently found out that Eden's organization in New York's underworld was called the Savage Club!
The moment he heard the name, Nick Frey understood why Nagini did this. Because Andy, who killed Samantha, was also from the Savage Club!
But it was too late to realize this problem now.
With Nagini's destructive power, as long as he had enough sources of information, three days was enough for him to eliminate a complete top force in New York.
If it took one minute to kill someone and nine minutes to travel, he could kill three to five people at a time. In one hour, he could kill twenty to thirty people, and in ten hours, he could kill two to three hundred people.
In three days, Nagini could kill at least 700 to 1000 people!
This was also the reason why Nagini was so tolerant of Nick Frey!
His killing efficiency was too high. Other than weapons of mass destruction, normal firearms could hardly hurt this kind of monster.
If Nagini went crazy, who knew what kind of impact he would have on the world?
As long as he wanted to, even the President of the United States would not be safe!
Logically speaking, this kind of person should be strictly watched. Captain America during World War II was an example. Otherwise, why would Carter follow Captain America every day? Was it because he was handsome?
But the problem was that because of Carol, no one dared to do anything too outrageous to Nagini. At least, no one dared to do so at this stage.
In addition, the 1.8 billion USD donation from Wilson also proved that Eden and his Savage Club were history.
Logically speaking, Nick Frey should be happy that he did not do anything and got a huge political achievement for free. But the reality was the opposite!
1.8 billion USD was a huge sum of money. Because of this huge sum of money, he was promoted from a Level 7 agent to a Level 9 agent. But other than that, what else did he get?
He did not get anything. Instead, he got into a lot of trouble because of this.
First of all, the higher-ups of the United States were unhappy. The reason was very simple. S.H.E.L.D. did not look good this time.
No matter how chaotic New York was, it was New York's own business. They had the police, the FBI, and even the military. Since when did S.H.E.L.D. have the right to meddle?
Also, they did not even give him a heads up. Since when did S.H.E.L.D. become so powerful?
Of course, S.H.E.L.D. was S.H.E.L.D. after all. Powerful was powerful. It was impossible to directly criticize them. Therefore, they could only find trouble with Nick Frey.
So far, only the mayor of New York City had called Nick Frey. But he understood that this call represented the dissatisfaction of the higher-ups of the United States.
This was the external trouble. After this incident, Nick Frey's reputation among the higher-ups of the United States would not be good.
In addition to the external trouble, there was also internal trouble.
Five minutes ago …
"Pa!"
Nick Frey slammed a transfer report on the table. He looked at the woman in front of him with a cold expression. He smiled bitterly and had a helpless expression on his face:
"Melinda, I swear this is all a misunderstanding. I had no idea."
But Melinda did not care at all. She coldly looked at the black-hearted guy in front of her and said, "I don't want to talk to you about this. This is my transfer report."
You had no idea?
You had no idea that the other party gave you 1.8 billion USD?
You had no idea that you were promoted from a Level 7 agent to a Level 9 agent in less than half a year after coming to New York?
This is 1.8 billion, not 18 dollars!
Melinda finally understood why Nick Frey did not let her participate. It turned out that this guy wanted to make her a scapegoat from the beginning.
Indeed, she was the perfect scapegoat material.
She was a member of the cavalry regiment, received the title of Iron Knight at a young age, and was also a confidant trained by the legendary agent Carter. With her identity and position in S.H.E.L.D., she was indeed the perfect scapegoat.
To be honest, Melinda did not mind being Nick Frey's scapegoat. She was educated and trained since she was young, so she had a special relationship with S.H.E.L.D..
Also, she was not a person who cared about her reputation. Otherwise, she would not have become an excellent agent.
But the question was, why didn't you tell me?
Melinda hated betrayal, especially when the other party was from the same organization as her, and this organization was S.H.E.L.D., which she had a special relationship with.
The worst part was that the other party was her commanding officer!
Therefore, she wrote this transfer report. The reason was very simple. Just like what was written in the report, Melinda was worried that she would kill Nick Frey out of anger. Therefore, she requested to be transferred back to the cavalry regiment!
Nick Frey was really pitiful this time.
On the surface, it looked like he made a profit, but in reality, he made a huge loss.
On the other hand, although Wilson donated 1.8 billion USD, the money did not belong to him in the first place. Moreover, he could use S.H.E.L.D.'s name to eat the cake that Eden left behind after his death!
The worst part was that at this point, no matter what he said, no one would believe him.
Nick Frey was furious and helpless. Otherwise, he would not have called Nagini directly.
However, although Nagini did screw over Nick Frey, the reason why Nick Frey was so pitiful was not because of Nagini alone. At the very least, Melinda's scapegoat was not because of Nagini, but because of his good friend, Alexander Pierce!
Don't ask why, but Nick Frey was the person that Carter wanted to push to become the director of S.H.E.L.D.. As a member of Hydra, how could Alexander Pierce let Nick Frey lean towards Carter?
In this director of S.H.E.L.D.'s vision and plan:
He was now Nick Frey's resource, and Nick Frey would become his resource in the future. However, the problem was that Alexander Pierce wanted him to be Nick Frey's only resource!
Therefore, under the attack of various forces, the old fox Nick Frey was screwed over!
