Chapter 1055 - 779: I Am Hydra’s Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s King of Agents!

Chapter 1055: Chapter 779: I Am Hydra’s Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s King of Agents!

Things...

Seem to have taken an unexpected turn.

Uehara Naraku’s voice and demeanor were somewhat unlike what he should have. This guy has never displayed such... an aloof attitude in front of anyone.

No matter if he became a Superhero, an intern at the Cosmic Peace Organization, or the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Uehara Naraku has never changed.

Today...

He’s different.

Everyone felt a bit uneasy.

Upon hearing Uehara Naraku’s command, Wanda briskly stepped into the elevator first, pressed the button for the top floor, and her eyes glanced slightly at the people standing by the door: "Aren’t you afraid to go up?"

"..."

Who was she mocking!

Steve Rogers was the first to step into the elevator. Fortunately, the elevator in the Wakanda Royal Palace was large enough, and they all managed to fit inside with room to spare.

"What’s your relationship with Uehara?"

Nick Fury stared at the seductive Scarlet Witch, with nothing but intense vigilance in the eyes of the king of agents: "Are you a Hydra spy? Did Hydra brainwash my former subordinates? Or is it Uehara..."

"..."

Wanda contemplated for a second. Just as she was about to mention Uehara Naraku, she recalled the training she received from a man named Ichimaru Gin before coming to Uehara Naraku.

What’s not meant to be said...

Must not be spoken.

Remembering that purple-haired man who smiled with squinting eyes, Wanda turned her head away from Nick Fury, responding coldly: "An ignorant one doomed to be ensnared... if you want to know, let the boss tell you himself!"

After speaking, Wanda refused to speak again, just stood by the glass elevator, looking down at the view of the Wakanda Royal Capital.

The elevator was swift.

Everyone’s gaze slowly fixated on the elevator display screen, watching the numbers steadily increasing until it was about to reach the top floor, and everyone’s mood became tense!

No one could determine what traps might be here!

As Steve Rogers raised his shield and stepped out first, he was greeted by a lone figure perched on the Wakanda throne.

The man was seated on the throne with his back to the elevator, also gazing at Wakanda, the city of technology, with the morning sunlight bathing him, making his body shimmer brightly, exuding boundless light.

"Just one person?"

"Uehara?"

"Uehara Naraku?"

The group cautiously stepped out of the elevator.

"Good morning."

Uehara Naraku, sitting on the throne, slowly turned around and elegantly snapped his fingers: "There seem to be fewer people here than I imagined. Looks like I’ll have to add a couple more spectators..."

Captain America Steve Rogers.

Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes.

Former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury.

Black Widow Natasha Romanoff.

Hawkeye Clint Barton.

Current Wakanda King T’Chaka.

Prince of Wakanda and future Black Panther, T’Challa.

Along with Tony Stark, Iron Man, and Colonel James Rhodes, War Machine, captured by them along the way, plus Uehara Naraku’s subordinate Scarlet Witch, Wanda.

Almost half of the Avengers were here...

Yet...

Uehara still felt this batch of audience was not enough...

A trace of disdain flashed across Uehara Naraku’s lips, perhaps in the future when dealing with cosmic matters, more spectators would be necessary?

Forget it...

At least for now, this is how it is.

The next second.

With the crisp sound of Uehara Naraku snapping his fingers, two shadows suddenly tumbled out, none other than Special Agent Coulson and Special Agent Hill.

"..."

Nick Fury’s eyes tightened instantly. He glanced at his two former most trusted subordinates, both of whom later defected, causing him quite some trouble...

Recently, Coulson even sided with the World Security Council, providing intelligence to help them hunt down and capture him, their former superior...

Nick Fury glanced once more at Uehara Naraku sitting on the throne.

Alright...

This subordinate is problematic too.

If Nick Fury forced his brain to think positively, he might speculate that Uehara Naraku captured these two Hydra spies, Coulson and Hill, to bring before him, his former superior, seeking credit...

Can’t continue thinking that way.

Because Uehara Naraku would actually do such a thing...

The only issue is, that was the Uehara Naraku he used to know!

This current Uehara Naraku felt somewhat unfamiliar to Nick Fury; despite his tone being exactly the same, there was an unsettling sense of crisis about him...

This is the sharp intuition of a king of agents!

"Director Fury, why are you looking at me like that?"

Uehara Naraku tilted his head, raising a hand to point at Coulson and Hill on the ground: "I caught the traitors for you. Shouldn’t you be grateful to me at this moment?"

"Don’t spout such nonsense..."

Nick Fury instinctively retorted, his gaze towards Uehara Naraku instantly sharpening: "Aren’t you going to tell us the whole truth? Reaching this point, there’s no point in hiding anything anymore..."

Nick Fury’s hand tightly gripped his gun, even though he knew it was of no use against someone like Uehara Naraku, a Superhero...

This man, once dubbed the king of agents, forced himself to calm his emotions: "Let’s hear it... Uehara... just how many truths are hidden beneath the dark waters..."

"Let me think..."

Uehara Naraku raised a finger to rub his temple, a smile playing on his lips: "Let me think, let me really think. Should I start from a certain point in time... or perhaps from one of those present?"

"..."

This guy is too arrogant!

Everyone present couldn’t help but exchange glances, wondering how this guy became so shameless, and how many unspeakable deeds he had done...

Not only could he categorize and talk bygones according to time...

He could also recount stories from their personal experiences...

"Your stares are quite rude..."

Uehara Naraku, observing their gazes, couldn’t help but shake his head with a sigh: "I’ve just done a trifling little thing for everyone... If I really had to recount, I suppose I should start from when I was transferred to S.H.I.E.L.D., right?"

"After all..."

Uehara Naraku’s lips curled in a light laugh: "Back then, Director Pierce spared no effort in getting me into S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

"..."

Nick Fury’s fingers trembled slightly!

Uehara Naraku was actually a Hydra!

Within all of S.H.I.E.L.D., no matter how many people he suspected, he never thought to doubt Uehara Naraku’s allegiance, as this guy did not resemble a Hydra spy in any aspect...

However...

Precisely because he didn’t resemble one...

He was able to stay undercover for so long!

"Espionage is a grueling task."

Uehara Naraku looked up at the ceiling, speaking softly: "I worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra. Sometimes, even I couldn’t tell if I was a Hydra spy or a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent..."

"..."

Everyone’s tense mood suddenly eased up quite a bit.

This guy seemed to be a pitiable person too...

Just when they were starting to relax a little and even to sympathize with Uehara Naraku’s mental state, Uehara Naraku spoke again...

"This feeling was painful..."

Uehara Naraku still stared at the ceiling, sighing softly: "To resolve this abnormal mental state, I had to kill Director Pierce and the other Hydra leaders, becoming Hydra’s sole commander..."

As he said this, Uehara Naraku turned his gaze to Nick Fury, and continued in a quiet voice: "But that wasn’t enough... so I took the opportunity to drive away Director Fury, making myself the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..."

"Because only then..."

"When I consider myself Hydra, I am the supreme ruler of Hydra!"

"When I see myself as S.H.I.E.L.D., I am this world’s king of agents!"
