A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 161 Ignorance and Unawareness
He looked at Nick Fury, who was blocking his way.

Tony suddenly laughed.

He suddenly realized that hiding from this guy and playing a spy game was actually quite pointless.

At the same time, he felt that Levi's fear of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra was completely unnecessary.

Of course, it's not that it was unnecessary from the beginning.

When he and Li Weigang formed their alliance, he was just an ordinary wealthy man and arms dealer.

Li Wei was merely a sorcerer's apprentice who knew some information about the future.

At that time, due to the special nature of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the long-standing legacy of Hydra.

Their apprehension and wariness towards S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed necessary.

However, they overlooked their own capabilities and the league's growth rate.

Despite the small number of members in the alliance, a little analysis reveals its true strength.

The current league is very strong.

They are so powerful that they could easily wipe out most countries except for the five major powers!

Just like last night, a small Hand can leave the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. helpless.

However, a single bullseye can also render the Hand helpless.

And don't say it's because S.H.I.E.L.D. can't use heavy weapons.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has heavy weapons, but doesn't Tony Stark have them too?
Even better than S.H.I.E.L.D.

Even a nuclear bomb, as long as he has the raw materials, Tony Stark can whip one up on the spot!
They even have spaceships!
Oh, of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. also has a spaceship—the Mar-Vell from back then, or rather, the one Wendy Lawson left in space.

Moreover, that spaceship was much larger than the one the Alliance bought from the Raiders.

But the ship the Alliance bought was a combat spaceship.

The ship that Marwell left behind was just a research vessel with little armament!

So the league is really strong right now.

However, Li Wei's constant caution led the Alliance to selectively overlook this point—because from the beginning, the Alliance's benchmarks were against major cosmic powers such as Asgard, Thanos, and the Kree Empire.

Or perhaps special beings like Kamar-Taj or the Inhumans.

That's why I always have this feeling that I'm still too weak.

However, today I had a meeting with Nick Fury.

But this made Tony suddenly realize something.

Given their current strength, there's absolutely no need for them to remain as low-key and cautious on Earth as they used to be.

Public opinion?

Boycott by various countries?

There's no need to worry either.

Because they still possess this precious land of wilderness, where they lack no shortage of resources.

If they wished, they could live a life of detachment, just like Wakanda and the underwater kingdom of Taroken.

In comparison, what are S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra?
At that moment, Tony finally understood.

"What are you laughing at?" Nick Fury, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, frowned and asked, looking at the obviously mocking smile on Tony's face.

"Fury, has anyone ever told you that you're actually quite ignorant and unaware of it?" Tony scoffed, mocking him.

Am I ignorant and unaware of my own ignorance?
Nick Fury was secretly pleased to hear Tony's words. He was about to say something, but Tony's next words sank him to the bottom.

"Do you think that you're the only one in the world who has ever encountered those unknown aspects? Like the Kree, the Skrulls, Asgard—and that Carol Danvers you consider extremely reliable, who doesn't even know if he's from Earth or the Kree?" After figuring it out, Tony spoke without any reservations, directly revealing all the secrets hidden deep within Nick Fury's heart.

Then, seeing Nick Fury's originally dark face instantly turn into a kaleidoscope of colors, I felt a great sense of satisfaction.

"Oh, of course there might be more than that. There's also the Mar-Vell ship that's hidden in outer space, the Tesseract you hid, those 084s from your S.H.I.E.L.D.—oh, right, and that little Flerken you adopted, and your left eye that's not actually blind?" Tony said, shrugging with a slightly exaggerated expression.

“Why…” Nick Fury asked dryly.

He had never lost his composure like this since the Danvers incident.

However, the current situation left him no choice but to lose his composure.

Because almost everything Tony said was his deepest secret.

The existence of the Kree, Skrulls, and Asgardians is somewhat understandable.

The top brass of S.H.I.E.L.D. are generally aware of the existence of these extraterrestrial civilizations.

After all, Danvers and the Kree caused quite a stir on Earth back then, and when Sif came to Earth, quite a few people in S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about it.

However, the existence of Danvers and the Flerken is different.

On the entire planet, only he and Rambo and his mother (the black mother and daughter in Captain Marvel) knew about it.

Not to mention that his eyes are actually not blind, which is a secret known only to him in the entire universe!
At that moment, Nick Fury felt as if he had been completely stripped naked in front of Tony.

“Yes, why would I know? In fact, I know far more than you. Do you know that the Tesseract is essentially just one of the six Infinity Stones? Do you know that if you collect all six stones, you can have any wish, even destroy the entire universe? Do you know that besides the physical universe, there are quantum universes and other dimensions? Have you ever seen angels? Have you ever seen demons? Have you ever eaten or drunk tea with the Lord of Hell? See, I know or have done all of these things… But even so, I still don’t think I know enough… And you… what makes you think you can?” Tony continued to recount a series of facts that Nick Fury had never heard of, looking mockingly at the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who thought he could control everything.

What? He's never seen an angel either?
Does it matter? Fallen angels are still angels. Livy has not only seen them, but also killed them.

So, rounding it off, it's equivalent to saying that Tony has also met him.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Hearing Tony recount these secrets caused Nick Fury's brain to completely shut down.

Tony's earlier comment about ignorance and lack of self-awareness was like a series of resounding slaps to his face.

He was completely plunged into self-doubt.

Upon seeing Nick Fury, who had previously been incredibly arrogant, he was rendered speechless by just a few words from Fury.

Tony shook his head dismissively and prepared to leave.

With such limited fighting strength, you think you can recruit him?

"Oh, and let me tell you another secret: Hydra has never been completely eradicated. They've always been lurking deep within your S.H.I.E.L.D., and your old boss, Alexander Pierce, is the biggest head of that serpent hidden within you!" Just as Tony was about to reach the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and completely exposed Alexander Pierce!

Since Nick Fury was driven to despair by him.

So Alexander Pierce, the big boss of Hydra, naturally couldn't escape unscathed either.

Let Nick Fury go and fight the dogs with them.

Thinking this, Tony, feeling somewhat excited, walked out of the burger shop.

But as soon as I stepped outside, I was hit by a cold wind.

Tony suddenly calmed down.

Yes, that barrage of information about Nick Fury just now was really satisfying.

But how should he explain this to Li Wei?
