Chapter 622: Loki's success

"It's over now, the ic of the night~~~"

As the last line of lyrics ended, the theater was filled with only the unison of the symphony orchestra.

After the last note fell, the lights in the entire venue turned on and all the actors came on stage to pay their respects, signaling the end of the 20th anniversary performance of the classic musical "Phantom of the Opera".

The silver-haired Peggy Carter stood up and applauded with everyone, and the agents next to her also quickly stood up and joined in.

"Twenty years have passed."

With a complicated sigh, Peggy Carter looked at Nick Fury beside her:

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to Mr. Loki."

"Excuse me."

Nick Fury, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., has always respected him. If it were not really needed this time, he also hoped that he could stay at home and take care of himself.

Rocky, a title that is obviously a stage name, refers to an actor, screenwriter, director who rose up in a short period of time and became a smash hit...

If that was just the case, then Director Fury would just say in his heart that those oil lords were really willing to spend money, and lament that it would be great if the money was given to him, and then forget about this person.

However, Rocky's story goes far beyond that. Using his acting career as a stepping stone, Rocky climbed to one of the top levels in this field in just a few years, controlling half of America's entertainment media and other industries.

This is outrageous, just like a person who delivered food for several years and climbed up to become the boss of a food delivery software company - although it is the same company, the person working underneath and the real boss are in completely different fields and classes. There should be no promotion channels at all from the former to the latter.

In particular, how could those oil lords tolerate an outsider becoming one of them for no apparent reason?

However, Director Fury, who was interested in this, found out the reason after investigating. No wonder he looked like an old friend, and he turned out to be the son of an old friend.

When he wanted to continue searching, he couldn't find anything, such as Loki's real name, or more information about this person. Even if Nick Fury used the authority of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he could only see I got a piece of information that was so simple that it was false at first sight.

There are only a few people in this world who can do this. Obviously, in Nick Fury's view, Loki is not an outsider who comes from somewhere, but is a member of the Oil Master.

At this point, under normal circumstances Nick Fury should know that it's time for him to stop.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is just an agency under the Security Council. It usually bickers with the FBI and CIA and bullies the free citizens of America. There are still some people in the world that they cannot afford to offend.

However, this time the matter is really too involved...

A photo flashed through Nico Fury's mechanical eyes covered by an eye patch. It was Loki attending an art party. In the photo, Loki was holding an orange cat and chatting and laughing with the artists around him.

The orange cat in Loki's arms has been compared countless times by the artificial intelligence programmed by Nick Fury, and it is 99% consistent with the information he provided.

There are no two identical leaves in the world, and the artificial intelligence used by SHIELD is naturally not comparable to the civilian artificial intelligence on the market. Not to mention that this matter has always been set as the highest priority by Nick Fury. .

In other words, there is a 99% possibility that the orange cat is the element-eating beast Gugu who has been missing for more than 20 years.

Although it is not ruled out that there is an orange cat that looks exactly like Gugu, it is impossible for Nick Fury to bet on it.

Originally this was quite simple. Investigate which home the orange cat is in Loki, and then Nick Fury sneaks in to take a look. If it is confirmed that it is Gu Gu, just bring him back. However, the results of the investigation show that Loki seems to I don’t even have a cat.

No one knows where the orange cat that Loki was holding that day came from, and no one knows who raised it. Judging from the surveillance, Loki didn’t take the cat with him when he went or left.

It is impossible for the guests attending the salon to watch Loki holding a cat. The cat lay obediently in Loki's arms. They would have no need to ask whose cat it was, and they could only praise it for being cute and cute.

Could it be that Gugu met Loki when he was wandering, and Loki thought the cat was cute, so he picked it up and petted it?

This possibility exists, but it is impossible for Nick Fury to believe it. First of all, Loki's identity and personality are not someone who would pick up a stray cat casually. Secondly, he does not think that Gugu has been a stray cat these years.

With the ability of the element-devouring beast, it is impossible for the earth to live the life of a stray cat. In contrast, Nick Fury is more willing to believe that Gugu has left the earth or found a new shit-sweeper. .

But now that Gu Gu's figure has finally been discovered, coupled with Loki's abnormal behavior, Nick Fury has to investigate things related to Gu Gu from him.

Master Oil is certainly scary, but is the Yuan Devouring Beast any better?

As long as he takes it step by step and controls the situation correctly, Nick Fury feels that with his ability, he can still extract information from Loki.

However, the facts gave Nick Fury a blow. Nowadays, Loki's social circle can be said to be quite pure - except for a few loyal subordinates who have not changed for at least ten years, the only people who have direct contact with him are usually those who have experience in the art field. A person with sufficient achievements or unique insights.

Others can’t see him in person, but it’s limited to normal strangers. If you want to approach him and talk to him, you will be noticed, let alone communicate alone.

Once you are detained by the bodyguard, let alone FBI and CI, even your IRS ID will not work.

——The above information comes from Agent Coulson who took out his IRS ID and called the IRS director.

In desperation, Nick Fury tried several times by himself. After being convinced that he really had no talent in art, Nick Fury screened among the people he could trust and found that the retired Agent Peggy unexpectedly met the requirements.

After retirement, she occasionally went to listen to musicals and even had a few exchanges with Loki, who preferred to sit in the audience rather than the VIP seats. This was really a new hope for Nick Fury.

After waiting in the VIP room for a while, Loki, dressed in a dark green suit, finally arrived.

"Ms. Carter, it's been a long time since we last met."

As soon as Loki entered the room, he didn't even glance at Nick Fury, but walked straight up and leaned over to give Peggy Carter a hug:

"I still remember our first meeting. It was The Phantom of the Opera, but it was the fifth anniversary performance. Fifteen years later, you are still as beautiful as ever."
