Chapter 68 - I Want to Snatch the Tesseract, So I Will

Others also voiced their objections. The mutant crisis was just a matter of compromise, but a robot rebellion could potentially overthrow human rule.

"Heh, have you all been scared by the recent sci-fi movies? Those are just movies. I've already installed a self-destruct program in the Sentinel Robots' programming."

"Without the Sentinel Robots, who here can stop the millions of mutants outside? I can guarantee that I'll destroy the Sentinel Robots immediately after eliminating the mutants."

"Of course, if you still disagree, then there's nothing I can do. You can wait to be assassinated. You won't have to worry about being ruled by robots in the future, heh."

Stryker shook his head dismissively. This group only wanted to ensure their own interests weren't affected. They wouldn't budge unless their lives were threatened.

Sure enough, when they heard about potential assassination, their expressions turned slightly unpleasant. Who could guarantee they wouldn't encounter such unlucky mutants...

After they whispered amongst themselves, the plan to eliminate the mutants with Sentinel Robots gained an almost overwhelming advantage.

With the launch of the Sentinel Robots plan, the funding Stryker received was unimaginable. The U.S. government collected materials worldwide for him to manufacture the Sentinel Robots.

This is a real war machine!

While the outside world was locked in a life-or-death struggle, Chen Xi was still basking in the sun like a salted fish, following his usual routine.

That day, he was basking in the sun, fiddling with the energy blocks he'd seized from S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. The scorching temperature here made even him excited.

"Should I just go and take the Tesseract?" Chen Xi suddenly said softly.

"Heh, haven't you already made up your mind?"

The system silently scoffed, You already made up your mind, why are you asking me? Aren't you just trying to feel better about it?

Washington D.C.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were stretched thin, overwhelmed by endless, terrifying assassinations across various locations.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, exhausted from running around, were completely worn out, even Nick Fury hadn't been home in three days.

Suddenly, a figure in black descended from the sky in front of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, immediately alerting the surrounding agents.

Covering yourself up so thoroughly in broad daylight? Definitely not a good sign.

The newcomer was Chen Xi, and he was sizing up the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, a place known as a den of dragons and tigers.

Since he said he wanted to snatch the Tesseract, then snatch it he would.

As a god of this world, he had to be invincible throughout the universe. How could he be timid in his actions? Who could possibly stop him?

In his heart, he had always looked down on Homelander, this castrated, fake Superman. Weakness in strength wasn't the problem; it was his inability to shake off his cautious, hesitant nature.

"Halt! This is S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Unauthorized personnel, leave immediately!"

The lead agent, armed with a gun, shouted at Chen Xi.

"I'm here to see your director, Nick Fury. If you don't want to die, notify him to come here. Oh, never mind, he's already here."

Chen Xi said with a smile, because Nick Fury had already rushed down in the elevator.

"It's you! What do you want?"

Nick Fury's face was grim. He naturally recognized the instigator of the war between mutants and ordinary people.

"Heh, I'm borrowing something from you. If you're sensible and lend it to me, your losses will be smaller."

Chen Xi said calmly. His arrogant attitude made Nick Fury's eyelids twitch, and his anger flared up.

But as a seasoned old fox, Nick Fury could still suppress his inner rage. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"What do you want to borrow?"

If it wasn't something extremely important, he could lend it to him temporarily to stabilize the situation, since this guy was too weird.

"The Tesseract."

Chen Xi glanced at him with interest. This scheming guy really knew how to bend and stretch.

"What? The Tesseract? Impossible!"

Nick Fury's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. The Tesseract was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most important mysterious artifact.

Although they currently only knew it contained infinite energy, they couldn't just hand it over. It could determine whether they could explore the universe in the future.

Hearing Nick Fury's firm refusal, Chen Xi knew that the polite approach was out the window.

So, without a word, he grabbed Nick Fury's neck at near-instantaneous speed, lifting him up.

"Baldy, I'm just informing you, not discussing this, understand? Adapt or perish!" Chen Xi said coldly.

Crack… crack… crack!!

The surrounding agents finally reacted, immediately chambering rounds and aiming at Chen Xi. Meanwhile, Nick Fury was panicking.

"Why is this guy being so unreasonable? Shouldn't we at least exchange a few more words first? Why is he already attacking?"

Chen Xi coldly glanced at the nervous S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around them before speaking to Nick Fury, who remained calm in the face of danger.

He didn't know that Nick Fury was actually scared to death…

Anyone would be nervous when facing death.

At this moment, at the top of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, the head of the HYDRA branch, Pierce, was frowning as he watched the scene unfold.

He had found that Nick Fury was becoming increasingly disobedient, always going against him. He hadn't intended for things to go in this direction when he'd helped him rise in the ranks.

Should I take this opportunity to get rid of him?

Pierce murmured, a troubled sound. It was a problem.

After all, with Nick Fury taking the heat up front, he was the one who had to deal with all the messy details.

While he was frowning in thought, Chen Xi had already grabbed Nick Fury and entered the headquarters building. The agents around them, wary of causing harm, followed closely behind.

The scheming Nick Fury, considering his own life, decided to endure for the time being. He immediately issued an order, instructing Coulson to bring the Tesseract to Chen Xi.

"Heh, I knew it would end up like this. Why bother making such a big fuss?"

Chen Xi said with a chuckle from the sofa in the hall.

For him, wasn't taking the Tesseract a simple matter? Such a small thing was as easy as pie.

Nick Fury glanced up at him without speaking.

A person has to bow their head under the eaves, he also wanted to retort Chen Xi, but he didn't dare...

Just then, Coulson walked over carrying a briefcase.

"Director, the Tesseract is here."

Coulson cautiously glanced at Chen Xi and then whispered to Nick Fury.

"Good!"

Nick Fury and Coulson exchanged a subtle look and then left again. He then said to Chen Xi, "The Tesseract you wanted is here."

"Alright! Let me see."

Chen Xi nodded faintly, then took the briefcase and opened it to examine its contents. And as expected, a flash of azure light shone before his eyes.

The Tesseract, true to its name, pulsed with a square, flashing light. Chen Xi carefully picked it up, examined it, and then put it back.

"In that case, I won't disturb you any further."

Chen Xi closed the briefcase, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

Nick Fury, seeing the smooth handover, felt an unsettling sense of unease…

After Chen Xi left with the briefcase, Coulson reappeared beside him. Looking at Nick Fury, who was still full of worry, Coulson comforted him, "Don't worry. After a single explosion, he'll never appear again."

"I hope so..."

Nick Fury stared blankly in the direction Chen Xi had gone, sighing softly. The unease in his heart grew stronger.
