I'm starting a mythology craze at Marvel

Chapter 89 Graduation Internship
Coulson felt that something was wrong with his old colleague.

Others don't know, but he does.

This old colleague of mine is very different from me. Hawkeye has already bought a farm and is just waiting to retire in a few years to live the life of a farmer.

Logically speaking, he should be able to slack off now, and in fact, he has done so before.

But now, Coulson was stunned, and his colleague began to work hard.

This change shocked Coulson. After all, he was a know-it-all in SHIELD. There was no one in SHIELD that he was not familiar with. Hawkeye's change was beyond his imagination. There didn't seem to be such a stubborn person in the bureau, right?
Reporting, participating in high-intensity training, and even volunteering to perform high-risk tasks, it seemed that overnight, the Hawkeye who once longed for a peaceful life no longer existed.

"Barton, what's wrong with you?"

Coulson finally couldn't help asking while eating lunch, his eyes full of concern and confusion.

But he remembered that Eagle Eye had looked lazy not long ago, pretending to be serious on the surface, but an old hand like him could tell at a glance that he was slacking off.

How come it became like this after such a short period of time? Could it be that he was stimulated by something?

"Coulson, I've been through something that made me re-evaluate my life and pursuits."

Hawkeye put down the cutlery in his hand and spoke slowly.

His answer made Coulson's eyelids twitch and his worry grew even more intense. Could it be that his old colleague had been met with an evil spirit?

Seeing Hawkeye's serious expression, Coulson's worries grew like weeds. He almost blurted out speculations about evil gods or mysterious forces, but reason told him that he must remain calm and listen to Hawkeye's explanation first.

"Barton, what exactly happened? What caused you to change so much? If you encounter any difficulties, everyone in SHIELD will support you."

Coulson tried his best to make his voice sound calm and firm, attempting to give Hawkeye enough support and a sense of security.

"Coulson, the experience I'm talking about is not an external shock, but an inner awakening. During this time, I came into contact with the wisdom of Buddhism, which made me begin to think about the meaning of life, the value of existence, and the position of each of us in the universe."

Coulson frowned when he heard this. He had never thought that Hawkeye would suddenly become interested in Buddhism, let alone such a drastic change.

"Dharma? Barton, are you sure this isn't a spur of the moment or some kind of misunderstanding? We are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Our job is to protect the world from threats, not…"

“It is this responsibility that has led me to explore the Dharma more deeply.”

Hawkeye interrupted Coulson with a firm tone.

“I began to realize that true power does not come from weapons and skills alone, but from inner peace and wisdom. Buddhism taught me how to stay awake in a chaotic world and how to make the right judgment when facing danger.”

However, Hawkeye's words not only failed to ease Coulson's worries, but made him even more worried.

Coulson was certain that his old colleague was absolutely out of his mind.

Coulson tried to keep his expression calm, even though his heart was already in turmoil.

At this moment, any overreaction might hurt the trust between them and might make Hawkeye feel misunderstood.

So he forced himself to suppress his worries and finished his lunch quickly and mechanically.

"Barton, I'm glad you found a way to calm yourself down, but I have to go back and deal with some urgent matters." Coulson made a seemingly reasonable excuse and tried to make his voice sound natural.

He stood up and patted Hawkeye on the shoulder, with a complex mixture of emotions, including concern for his old friend and worry about unknown changes.

After leaving the restaurant, Coulson's pace unconsciously quickened. He urgently needed to find the director and report everything.

The director even has a way to deal with that terrible Banner, so Hawkeye’s minor problems shouldn’t be a problem.

Coulson quickly walked into the director's office. If nothing unexpected happened, the director should be here.

In his impression, the director always liked to stay in his office and never go out. Even though there was everything in there, just like a palace, Coulson still found it hard to imagine why Xia Ling could stay there for so long.

Just as he arrived at the director's office, he knocked on the door as usual and got permission, but he unexpectedly found that the special employee who was not far from his home was standing in the director's office.

Moreover, Coulson was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Director, I suggest sending agents immediately to control Kingpin. If necessary, we can kill him directly!"

Matt said this calmly, which shocked Coulson so much that he widened his eyes and looked at Matt in disbelief.

Special employee Coulson also knew his information and knew that he was a street hero who did not kill.

Why did he become so cold today? Is his brain gone?
"Matt, are you...are you sure?"

Coulson asked stutteringly, trying to find any trace of amusement on Matt's face but seeing only determination and seriousness.

Matt did not answer directly, but turned to Xia Ling, as if waiting for his response.

Xia Ling had a thoughtful look on his face, and seemed to be weighing Matt's suggestion.

Jin Bing, the gang leader?"

Coulson finally found his voice and tried to sound more reasonable.

"Haven't you been monitoring him and looking for the right time to strike? Why did you suddenly take such extreme action?"

Matt shook his head: "The situation has changed. I can't tolerate a vicious criminal like Kingpin to continue living. I have to impose justice on him.

For such a person, death is his final destination. Even if he were to appear before the Buddha, He would only praise me for doing the right thing! "

It’s Buddha again. Coulson was trembling a little. How come S.H.I.E.L.D. became something he didn’t recognize overnight?
"Matt, please step down first. I allow you to deal with Kingpin in your personal capacity, but during this period of time, SHIELD has more important things to deal with."

Matt's face immediately showed disappointment, but he quickly adjusted himself.

"Commander, I am disappointed with your response, but since this is your decision, I have no choice but to comply."

After Matt finished speaking, he left the office. Looking at his back, Coulson was a little at a loss for a moment.

"Coulson, don't feel weird. They are just doing their graduation internship."
