Chapter 272 Asylum
the next day.

Eddie Brock and Annie arrived in New York with their luggage, and then took a taxi directly to the headquarters of the League of Assassins in the suburbs.

Because they had made arrangements in advance, the two of them entered the base smoothly.

Entering here again, Eddie and Annie were amazed at the vastness of the base and the height of the stone tower.

As the two entered the building inside the base, Eddie Brock met Smith Doyle again in the reception room.

Seeing Smith Doyle come in, Eddie Brock and Annie stood up immediately.

Smith Doyle saw this and said:
"Sit down, don't be so nervous."

Following Smith Doyle's words, the two men sat down again after seeing Smith sit down.

Smith Doyle sat down in the main seat and said:
"I didn't expect that you would be persecuted so soon after our last meeting. This was completely unexpected for me."

Eddie Brock also spoke:
"Drake's business empire was built on corpses and wronged souls. We only learned a little bit of the truth, and before we could attract attention or dig deeper, he retaliated."

After hearing what Eddie said, Smith Doyle nodded. If journalists continue to dig deep into certain people and certain things, the risks are very high.

"How much do you know about the Life Foundation?"

Eddie felt a little ashamed at this moment and said:
"Actually, I don't know much about the Life Foundation. I just learned through Annie that many people died because of testing drugs on them."

"And they're planning to suppress these deaths without reporting them."

"Furthermore, I suspect the Life Foundation didn't provide truthful information to the drug trial participants, otherwise the families wouldn't have filed a lawsuit."

Smith Doyle nodded, then looked at Anne and asked:
"Based on your professional knowledge and what you know, does the Life Foundation have any legal issues in this matter?"

Seeing Smith Doyle asking her, Anne thought for a moment and then said:

"From a legal perspective, this matter is rather ambiguous. The Life Foundation's ability is such that it can be held not responsible unless there is similar capital involved."

"Also, even if there are opposing forces, if we lose the case, the most we'll get is some compensation."

"After all, there isn't much of a problem with the drug trial contract itself."

After hearing Anne's words, Eddie Brock wanted to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

Smith Doyle was not surprised to hear the other party's statement. This was similar to what Fox reported. The Life Foundation had tried its best to circumvent the legal situation. Of course, there were some problems, but the biggest punishment was compensation.

"Eddie, the problems with the Life Foundation are indeed similar to what Annie said."

"But there are still issues here. Whether the risks are truthfully disclosed in the drug trial contract and whether the compensation is reasonable."

"Besides this, does the Life Foundation have any other issues?"

"These things require detailed investigation, which takes time."

"Regarding the Life Foundation issue, I will send someone to investigate until I know the full truth."

"You and Annie also need to live in the days ahead."

"I'll assign you to the Publicity Department of the Universal Capsule Group, and Annie to the Legal Department. These are both your jobs."

"I'll have someone notify you of the outcome of the Life Foundation matter."

Upon hearing Smith Doyle's instructions, Eddie Brock and Annie expressed their gratitude. He hadn't given them a perfunctory response. He hadn't just been thorough in investigating the matter and informing them of the results, and had even arranged for them to do the necessary work. It was like God on earth. Smith Doyle accepted their gratitude and then arranged for them to be transferred to the Universal Capsule Group and begin work there.

As the two men left, Smith Doyle also thought about the Life Foundation. As he understood the situation, if he took legal action, the most he would do would be to cause Drake's stock price to fall, pay some compensation, and increase the cost for future drug testers, but it would not cause any serious damage.

But after a few days, as the matching continues to fail and the other party starts to pull homeless people on the street to force experiments, that is the time to give them a fatal blow. At that time, no matter from which perspective, their behavior is justifiable.

the other side.

After Smith Doyle arranged things for Eddie and Annie, he called Tony Stark.

"Hey man, Coulson said our credentials have arrived. Do you want to go and take a look around the SHIELD headquarters?"

At this moment, Tony had just completed the modular support design work at home. When he heard Smith's proposal, he immediately became interested.

"That guy Nick Fury finally gave up?"

Smith Doyle laughed contemptuously:

"He wants what's in my hand, but I won't give it to him."

"I'll send you the address. We'll go there together later. This is a good opportunity to go in and investigate S.H.I.E.L.D."

Tony nodded after hearing this, and then said:
"Okay, let's see what the SHIELD headquarters looks like."

······
Trident Building.

Nick Fury stood in his office and looked downstairs. He had received a notice from his subordinates that Smith Doyle and Tony Stark had arrived here and had arranged for Coulson to go and greet them.

Tony looked at Coulson who came out and said jokingly:

"They've actually placed their headquarters in Washington. It's a good location, but I wonder how many people there are who can actually get things done."

Smith Doyle also laughed:
"So I, the Inspector General, need to take a closer look. I hope this place won't be corrupted."

Coulson walked up to the newcomer with a smile on his face:

"Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. I'll take you in right away."

"The director has been waiting for a long time."

Smith Doyle and Tony followed Coulson into the Trident Building, and then each received a badge at the front desk in the lobby on the first floor.

Tony looked at the name tag, which was different from the one Coulson was wearing, and said jokingly:

"Coulson, don't tell me this is our pass to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Coulson explained:

"This is just a temporary pass. You two need the director to issue it. I will take you to see Director Nick now."

Although it was only a temporary pass for reception, it still allowed access to the main corridors of the Trident Building and had direct access to the director's office.
